Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Xu Huaiyi knew the weight and intention of these words, and he first responded respectfully, then asked tentatively, "Master, if you check and confirm that the situation is true, will you take care of this matter?"

Sun Yu was silent for a moment, then met his disciple's clear, frank and expectant eyes. He couldn't help but tell the truth, "If this matter has nothing to do with you, I shouldn't interfere. After all, it's not my duty. Interfering beyond the boundary will make people hate me, and it is likely to be involved in the harem struggle of the eldest prince's mansion. It is too unwise to get involved. But now, Li Yuan may be suspicious of you and have bad intentions. How can I stand by and watch?"

Alas, being a master is indeed not that easy. He has nothing to do during normal times, and once he comes, he will be given a big mess. If he is not mistaken, the matter will be traced back to the scandal of murdering the princes and grandsons of the emperor.

Although such things are not uncommon in the royal family, and there are countless princes and grandchildren who have died unjustly in the harem, the emperor hates this very much. He is even more afraid of such things being spread out and damaging the royal reputation. Therefore, no one is willing to get involved, and those who deal with such things often end up in trouble.

He started to worry before he even checked, but Xu Huaiyi was deeply moved. He thanked him again and again with an extremely sincere attitude, and there was even a bit of trust and admiration in his eyes, which was unthinkable before.

Sun Yu finally realized the joy and satisfaction of being a teacher and protecting his disciples, but he also felt the helplessness and pressure.

But no matter how great the pressure was, he could not ignore this matter. After Xu Huaiyi left, he immediately went to verify it.

Although six years have passed since the incident and some evidence has been erased, Li Wanyu, who was still the eldest prince's concubine when the incident was committed, her methods were not very sophisticated and her arrangements were full of loopholes. Even if Marquis Changle was asked to help clean up the mess, as long as it was done, traces would be left, and there were many of them.

For example, when they surrounded Hutian Village, why not use the subordinates of Marquis Changle, and also brought Li Yuan with them? Such an arrangement was indeed made because they felt at ease using their own people, but it also showed a guilty conscience.

Also, after the doctor in the eldest prince's mansion disappeared, no one knew whether he was dead or alive, but his wife and children were still alive. Although they left the capital and returned to their hometown to live, some clues could still be found if one wanted to investigate.

There is also a Yuanshi Zhou, who is also a flaw. Li Wanyu sent people to invite him, but couldn't find him. That's because Yuanshi Zhou was invited by someone with ulterior motives to see a doctor, and the news was deliberately concealed. If this person with ulterior motives dug deeper, he would be able to find out that he is related to Changle Marquis' Mansion.

The most important clue is Zheng Chunxiu. Although she died a long time ago, it was because of her death, and the deaths of so many villagers, that the matter became almost impossible to resolve.

Although Marquis Changle tried his best to remedy the situation afterwards, using the plague to surround the village and destroy all witnesses, hidden dangers still remained.

In the past, no one dared to speak out, or even to doubt, so no one went deep into the truth hidden by the plague. Once someone asked about it and the truth was uncovered, the secret could no longer be hidden.

Especially for people like Sun Yu, he got a glimpse of the truth without even checking. After checking, he found that the truth was even more speechless than he had guessed.

He carried a pile of evidence and went to the study to see his old father first. After all, this was a big matter and he couldn't make the decision.

After reading it, Minister Sun didn't show any shock on his face. He just frowned and asked, "How do you plan to deal with it?"

Sun Yu said in embarrassment, "My son doesn't know either. If this matter didn't involve Huai Yi, my son would just pretend he didn't know. But now, it's obvious that Li Yuan is worried that the matter will be exposed and wants to harm Huai Yi. He privately bribed Huai Yi's classmate Zhu Ziqian, who lives in the dormitory next to Huai Yi and monitors Huai Yi's every move. I don't know when he will take the opportunity to take action..."

Minister Sun just listened and said nothing.

Sun Yu continued, "Li Yuan is nothing, but Li Yuan's sister is now the eldest prince's consort. If you want to touch Li Yuan, you can't avoid her. Besides, the source of this matter is also her..."

Minister Sun glanced at him and said, "We can't get involved in the affairs of the royal family, and we can't afford to get involved."

Sun Yu immediately said, "Son, I understand. I don't want to get involved. You see, let's just let Li Yuan handle this. How about that?"

"What's the charge?"

"He was greedy for merit and reckless, resulting in the death of more than a hundred villagers. Even if Marquis Changle and the eldest prince's wife protect him, he can still be sentenced to exile. With this man removed, Huaiyi can live a stable life."

"What about Marquis Changle and the First Prince's Consort?"

"Marquis Changle is keeping a very low profile now. Ever since the thunderbolt that caused a lot of discussion, he has been living a secluded life and even skipping social events. He definitely doesn't want to cause any more trouble and let the people in the capital target him again. Besides, he is a smart man and naturally understands the principle of cutting off an arm to survive and sacrificing a pawn to save the chariot. He probably had this in mind when he asked Li Yuan to come forward instead of the crown prince Li Ji."

A son born out of wedlock can be abandoned if necessary.

"As for the eldest prince's wife, my son means that the eldest prince should be in charge."

Hearing this, Minister Sun snorted, "Do you think the Crown Prince doesn't know what she did?"

Even if he didn't know it at the time, he would definitely figure it out afterwards, but could he do anything about it?

If we could have managed it, what happened last year wouldn't have happened.

Sun Yu sighed helplessly, "Then he has to take care of it, what else can we do?"

Report it to the emperor? Then how could he get away with spying on the royal scandal?

Minister Sun suddenly asked, "Last year, the eldest grandson of the emperor followed his uncle Han Jun to visit his maternal grandfather's family. They encountered bandits and their whereabouts were unknown. Even Han Jun was missing. Have you asked someone to investigate this matter?"

Sun Yu said with a complicated expression, "The person who investigated this matter at that time was Marquis Dingyuan. I don't know the details, but I heard that most of the people Han Jun brought died, and the carriage also fell off the cliff and was destroyed. When they were found, many of the bodies were incomplete, as if they had been eaten by wolves and vultures. So I suspected that Han Jun and the emperor's eldest grandson had..."

"Afterwards, the Imperial Guards have been looking for him, but there is no news. The Grand Prince's Mansion has already acquiesced..."

"My son has investigated again and has some guesses. Perhaps Han Jun and the eldest prince are in a good relationship. It's just that for some reason, they are temporarily unable to show up."

What he said was implicit. When he said it was inconvenient, he actually meant that he dared not and could not. After all, they were bandits. They were most likely assassins sent by the eldest prince's wife. Even if they didn't kill him with poison back then, they must have continued to murder him, right?

Now, she has finally got what she wanted. Although her son has not yet been named the crown prince, as long as the emperor's eldest grandson does not appear, that title will sooner or later belong to her son.

Minister Sun hesitated for a moment and made a decision, "Then go ahead and do your best to make things more thorough. Huaiyi needs to be protected, but don't make enemies with the Changle Marquis's mansion. For some things, just remind him. Let the eldest prince decide how to deal with it. Don't interfere."

Sun Yu agreed.

Three days later, a strange thing suddenly happened in the capital. Someone went to Jingzhao Prefecture and sued Li Yuan, the second son of Changle Marquis's Mansion. A commoner suing the son of a marquis's family, this huge difference in status was already an explosive topic. In addition, the charge was related to the plague in Hutian Village six years ago, which made the matter even more eye-catching.

Even if Jingzhao Prefecture wanted to suppress it, it could not stop the gossiping mood and speed of the people. It swept the whole city in one day and became a topic that people talked about with relish after dinner.

The people of the whole city were watching the progress and outcome of the incident. Naturally, Jingzhao Prefecture did not dare to treat it casually, even if it involved the Changle Marquis' Mansion, and even the First Prince's Mansion. Those who should be summoned were still summoned, and those who should be questioned were still questioned. They were meticulous and showed the most fair attitude.

At first, the Changle Marquisate did not take it too seriously. Even though Li Yuan was a little panicked, he thought that six years had passed and all the evidence had been wiped out. Even if they sued him to convict him, it would at most be considered dereliction of duty. Therefore, when he was asked to be questioned, Li Yuan just took it as a formality.

Who would have thought that once you leave, you will never be able to come back.

Xu Huaiyi paid more attention to the progress of the incident than anyone else. When it first happened, he was stunned. He had asked Sun Yu before, but Sun Yu did not tell him in detail how to deal with the matter. He just asked him to wait and see the result.

He didn't ask any more questions, but who could have thought that someone would suddenly reveal that they were suing Li Yuan.

What surprised him even more was that the person who made the complaint was Zheng Shan, the escort who, after returning from a mission, discovered that none of his family members had survived and who never returned to Hutian Village since then.

At night, the couple talked about this in the RV. Xu Huaiyi couldn't help sighing, "I don't know where the master found this person, but it is really the most appropriate for him to be the plaintiff."

If the people of Hutian Village were asked to come forward, not everyone would dare to do so. Survivors always value their lives more.

But Zheng Shan was filled with hatred and wanted to avenge his family, so he naturally did not hesitate to sacrifice his life. He did not sue before, not because he did not dare, but because no one supported him and it would be useless to sue. Now someone told him that as long as he dared to expose the truth, his safety could be guaranteed and Li Yuan would be brought to justice. What else was there for him to hesitate about?

He is willing to be the knife.

Gu Huanxi nodded and exchanged information with him. "After the villagers learned about this, they were all shocked, panicked and worried. The people in Xujia Village came later, so they don't feel any burden. They just sympathize and express some feelings. But the original villagers have more thoughts..."

"I understand. It would be abnormal if you didn't have some ideas. Are you afraid that it would implicate them?"

"Well, I'm afraid we'll have to summon them to the court to give testimony when the case is tried. I asked Wei Liang to ask around, and many people are very resistant and reject it, fearing that they will be retaliated against by the Changle Marquis' Mansion afterwards. Of course, there are also very excited people who feel that they have waited for so many years and can finally restore the reputation of the village. Especially Village Chief Hu, he even went to the village temple to burn incense, thinking that it was the Bodhisattva's presence and the ancestors' blessing that he could finally seek justice for those villagers who died unjustly."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi sighed, "More than a hundred lives. As the village chief, you can imagine the pressure on his heart. He couldn't redress them in the past, and even had to bear the infamy of being cursed. It was not easy to endure humiliation and endure until he was this age. If we hadn't come, I'm afraid he would never get this opportunity..."

"So, he has the most positive attitude and is just waiting to be tried in court."

"Soon, if nothing unexpected happens, they will be summoned tomorrow. Oh, and Doctor Jiao, you should remind him tomorrow. I'm afraid he won't be able to evade it. With him coming forward, it will carry more weight."

Gu Huanxi asked hesitantly, "I just don't know if Doctor Jiao is willing to take care of this matter."

Xu Huaiyi was not worried at all, "He will definitely agree."

"reason?"

"First of all, Doctor Jiao is not afraid of trouble. When he first moved here, he doubted the authenticity of the plague. But the people of Hutian Village, as victims, did not stand up to complain for themselves, so of course he couldn't stand it. Secondly, he is a responsible and good doctor. He hates to see the wrong diagnosis. If he didn't know, it would be fine. If he knew, it would be uncomfortable for him to keep it to himself. Finally, Doctor Jiao has a conscience."

His analysis was so logical that Gu Huanxi was speechless. "Okay, I'll ask Wei Liang to tell them tomorrow."

"Well, I'd also like to remind the village chief to keep an eye on the village. People are definitely agitated these days, so don't let anything happen."

"Well, come to think of it, this matter is not shallowly related to us, but now, we are staying out of it."

Xu Huaiyi said, "Master didn't let me get involved. Not only me, but also he, would not intervene openly. The Sun family is not afraid of offending the Changle Marquis' Mansion, but they don't want to confront the First Prince's Mansion, so they asked Zheng Shan to come forward and complain."

"I see. Then this matter... means that it can only end with Li Yuan, right?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded gloomily, "If Li Yuan cannot be saved, then the Marquis of Changle will definitely let this son take all the blame. After all, Li Wanyu is the eldest prince's consort, the emperor's daughter-in-law, and she has given birth to a son. She is much more important than a bastard's son."

"That's really a good thing for Li Wanyu. She has harmed Xiaoyu so many times, but she can't do anything about it."

"She is not unaffected at all. Even if Li Yuan is used to close the case, there is no shortage of smart people in the capital. If you think about it, you will know what happened back then. The image that Li Wanyu had established before will definitely collapse. And the reputation she earned by pretending to be kind-hearted and vacating the villa to accommodate those elderly people and children will probably be ruined..."

After hearing this, Gu Huanxi's frustration was not relieved at all. "The most important thing is the attitude of the eldest prince. He is just too cowardly. If he could control Li Wanyu, there wouldn't be so many troubles. Even if he is afraid of the power of the Changle Marquis' Mansion, the eldest son has been persecuted to that extent. Why can't he be aroused to have a little temper and blood?"

Xu Huaiyi was also very confused, "Maybe the royal family is weak in family affection? Or maybe he really loves Li Wanyu?"

Gu Huanxi glared at him.

Xu Huaiyi felt that he was being taken out on, so he quickly tried to please him, "Master is going to meet the eldest prince in private. I'll ask him later, and I'll tell you when I've found out."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi felt something was wrong, "He went to see the eldest prince and talked about this kind of thing. Is it appropriate?"

Xu Huaiyi was actually a little confused, "Could it be that the two of them have some kind of private relationship?"

"I suspect...your master has another identity."

Xu Huaiyi's eyes widened, "Why do you think so?"

Gu Huanxi said calmly, "Women's intuition."

Xu Huaiyi, "..."
