Raising husband in Zhai Douwen

After Lin Yaohui sent Qi Dali and Zhang Qu to the Du Mansion, he rushed to Chunxueyuan immediately.

Yang Jiming got up from the bed, put on a coat hastily, and came out to see Lin Yaohui.

Lin Yaohui first talked about what happened tonight, and then said: "Uncle Qi came to see Mrs. Du overnight, it must be a big deal, and there may be something we are investigating."

Yang Jiming frowned slightly, "I know, but I have no reason to see grandpa late at night."

Lin Yaohui scratched his head, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "There is a reason, I brought Uncle Qi into Du's mansion just now. Your entourage brought two people into the mansion to disturb the old man, why don't you hurry to see those two people Did you cause trouble? Besides, you have to ask the old man for your sins."

Yang Jiming smiled and said, "You kid, you know a lot."

Shang Jiayan came out and put on the clothes for Yang Jiming, "Don't be rude."

"Understood, you go back to the inner room to rest, don't wait for me."

"Well, be careful."

Shang Jiayan watched Yang Jiming leave before turning back to the inner room.

Lin Yaohui hurriedly followed Yang Jiming, and couldn't help sighing: "If I can marry a wife who is half as good as the young wife in the future, I will be satisfied."

Yang Jiming didn't give him a straight look, "Come on."

At this time, Mrs. Du's yard was brightly lit.

After they arrived, the servants went in to report and invited them in after a while.

Outside the main room, Zhang Qu was waiting yawning.

Lin Yaohui walked to Zhang Qu's side, and Yang Jiming walked into the main room alone.

In the main room, the old man sat at the main seat, and Qi Dali sat at the lower head on one side.

When Yang Jiming came in, Qi Dali hurriedly got up.Yang Jiming bowed to the old man, and the old man told everyone to sit down.

After Yang Jiming sat down, Qi Dali slowly sat down again.

"The people around me don't understand the rules. They brought Uncle Qi here late at night, which made it difficult for both Grandpa and Uncle Qi to rest. I have to hurry over to check the situation and apologize to both of you."

Qi Dali hurriedly said: "Master Biao, I asked little brother Lin to bring me to see the old man."

Yang Jiming nodded slightly.

Old Mrs. Du said: "Old Qi just came and told me about the accident tonight."

Hearing this, Yang Jiming said like the rest of his life after a catastrophe: "Fortunately, I happened to have someone secretly protect Uncle Qi."

Old Mrs. Du said: "The murderer was caught by the Yamen, and the people around the imperial envoy saw it with their own eyes. They can't escape."

"Grandpa said so."

"Ji Ming, there are only three of us here, what you want to know, Lao Qi and I will tell you tonight."

"May all ears be heard."

Qi Dali sighed, and said: "Old Master, Young Master Biao, I first discovered that Second Young Master embezzled money from the counter, and later found that Third Master took kickbacks."

"That's all?" Yang Jiming's tone was filled with displeasure.

Qi Dali looked at the old man, and the old man said to him: "Speak."

Then he continued: "I reported all these things to the old man. But I didn't expect that they would conspire to put the blame on the old man."

"It's all about money. Uncle Qi doesn't need to hide it for them." Yang Jiming wrote all over his face: You continue to hide it.

Mrs. Du said: "There was a flood last year. I thought they just raised the price of grain by [-]%. I didn't expect them to exchange the old grain for the government's relief grain."

Yang Jiming couldn't help frowning, and secretly reprimanded: A profiteer!

"Grandpa, you have made a fortune all your life, it's time for you to do some good deeds."

The old man is the head of the Du family, and no one has ever spoken to him like this.

He couldn't help being slightly stunned for a second, then smiled and said, "Only you and your mother would tell me that."

"Grandpa, I'll ask you again to verify whether human life was involved."

"No."

"That being the case, Grandpa might as well take the initiative to confess to the imperial envoy."

Old Master Du didn't say anything immediately.

Qi Dali was worried that the grandparents and grandchildren would have a dispute over this, and said, "Master Cousin, the old man is getting old."

"Uncle Qi, you are getting old. Grandpa still refused to save you before. What's more, Mr. Xu is not a flexible person. As long as grandpa confesses to him, he can get a light sentence."

Mrs. Du said, "Let me think about it again."

Yang Jiming reminded: "This Master Xu is not Master Xu, he is not a mediocre official."

The next day, Xu Yihuan went to the magistrate's office to inquire about Suzhou government affairs.

Mrs. Du went to see him.

On this day, Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan accompanied Aunt Du to visit Suzhou again.

After crossing a small bridge and an alley, Aunt Du said to them, "I used to walk through these alleys. It's been 20 years, and nothing has changed here."

Suddenly, the smile on Aunt Du's face froze, and she looked ahead in disbelief.

Yang Jiming followed her gaze and only saw three people who looked like a family of three.

Aunt Du walked over with heavy steps, and they also looked at her in shock.

"You remarried?" Aunt Du's tone was full of anger.

She recognized them, one was a clerk from Baoji Rice Shop, and the other was her maid.

Feeling guilty, the woman hid from her husband.

The man said: "Miss, Dongmei didn't marry me again, she married me in the first place."

After the words fell, the woman hurriedly grabbed his arm and said anxiously, "What did you say?"

Aunt Du stabilized her mind and asked, "What's going on?"

The woman named Dongmei said: "Miss, please sit in the room."

Aunt Du followed them into the courtyard.

Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan looked at each other, and followed Aunt Du.

Dongmei brewed tea and brought it over, "The humble house is simple, only crude tea, please don't dislike it, miss."

Aunt Du picked up the teacup, blew on it lightly, and took a small sip.

Dongmei glanced at Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan, and asked with a smile, "Are these two young masters the sons of the young lady?"

"My son, daughter-in-law."

"Hi, young master and madam."

Aunt Du said: "Third Young Master, Third Young Madam, you can take a stroll around first, I will look for you later."

"Okay." Yang Jiming said, "Auntie, let's go first."

After they left the small courtyard, they were all curious.

Yang Jiming couldn't help gossiping: "What's the relationship between Auntie and that couple? Why did she ask that woman if she remarried as soon as she opened her mouth?"

Shang Jiayan smiled and slapped him lightly, "You dare to make nonsense about my aunt, do you know that I am her biological son?"

"I know, I know. Jing Shuo, I was wrong, so I won't say anything." Yang Jiming hurriedly begged for mercy, "Let's go for a walk around."

While being pushed away by him, Shang Jiayan reprimanded him: "You dare to perfunctory me."

"Don't dare."

"Humph."

Huai An, who was following behind them, couldn't help but secretly shook his head and laughed.

They wandered around for half an hour before returning to the small courtyard.

When Aunt Du saw them coming back, she bent her mouth and showed a faint smile.

But the couple had a bitter face, especially the woman's eyes were still crying.

Shang Jiayan stepped forward, worried: "Auntie, are you alright?"

Aunt Du smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, let's go back."

Back in Chunxueyuan, Yang Jiming wanted to ask Chen Tao and Lin Yaohui for help in investigating the couple's affairs, but was stopped by Shang Jiayan.

They didn't check, but Aunt Du sent someone to check.

As a result, just as the couple said, Dongmei married her current husband 20 years ago.After Aunt Du married into the capital, her sweetheart died.

Bai Ping only followed Aunt Du six years ago, so she doesn't know about Aunt Du's past.But today she heard so much in that small courtyard, she knew the seriousness of the matter.

"Auntie, it's been 20 years since the incident, and the person is dead, please take it easy." Bai Ping wanted to persuade her to relax.

Aunt Du shook her head lightly, "I always thought he betrayed me and married another woman. That's why I agreed to marry Lord Hou as a concubine."

"Auntie, you still have the third young master."

"My father used to say that I resembled him the most. I am indeed very similar. Both have clear grievances and grievances, and those who have kindness repay kindness, and those who have revenge have revenge."

"Auntie, don't be impulsive. With the Du family here, you will have more confidence in the Hou Mansion."

"I have a sense of proportion, just let them peel off their skin, without hurting their muscles and bones."

In the yamen, Xu Yihuan found out that the person who ordered the two masked men in black to assassinate Qi Dali was Du Baorong, the third master of the Du family.

At this time, Mrs. Du came to the yamen again to ask to see the imperial envoy.

This time, he brought Du Baorong and Qi Dali together.

Du Baorong pleaded guilty to attempted murder.

Qi Dali stated that he would not sue Du Baorong.

Xu Yihuan made a favor and dismissed the case.

Next, Xu Yihuan continued to stay in Suzhou for several days, checked the files in Suzhou, and got all the confessions.

Xu Wenbin took off his black hat, and the Du family was willing to pay for the construction of the embankment as atonement.

Just when Xu Yihuan was about to stay in Beijing for two more days before returning to Beijing, someone sounded the grievance drum.

In the lobby of the magistrate's yamen, Xu Yihuan personally questioned the case.

On the street, someone yelled, "Your Imperial Envoy is up for questioning", and the common people flocked to the yamen to watch.

Xu Yihuan took off Xu Wenbin's black hat, abolished the privately imposed taxes, and promised to go to the court to ask for an order to return the over-levied taxes to the people. The people of Suzhou are grateful to Xu Yihuan.

As soon as the imperial envoy heard the case, the big guy ran over quickly.

Xu Yihuan patted the gavel, "Silence!"

The crowd of onlookers fell silent.

Xu Yihuan asked: "Who is kneeling in the hall, and what is wronged?"

"Responding to the adults, villain He Tang, this is my daughter-in-law Chen Dongmei. We want to sue Du Zezhong for killing my righteous brother Wu Jin 20 years ago."

Xu Yihuan patted the gavel again when he heard the noise of the people outside the hall, and asked, "Who is this Du Zezhong?"

He Tang replied, "It's Mrs. Du, the owner of Baoji Rice Shop."

Xu Yihuan said: "What's going on, let's talk about it carefully."

He Tang said: "20 years ago, both the villain and the righteous brother were employees of Baoji Rice Shop. Du Baode, the elder of the Du family, embezzled money from the shop. He was afraid that the old man would find out, so he wronged my righteous brother for stealing money. The righteous brother suffered a lot. Wronged, withered day by day, and finally passed away."

Hearing this, Xu Yihuan couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking: This kind of thing can't hurt the Du family's muscles at all, but moving to the court at this time, it's clear that someone deliberately made things difficult for the Du family.

He saw the couple kneeling in the hall trembling, especially the woman who kept her head down and asked, "Mr. Chen, I want to ask you, do you know what happened 20 years ago?"

Chen Dongmei replied: "The woman knows that the woman used to be a servant girl in Du's house."

Xu Yihuan was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "You are a maidservant in the Du Mansion, how do you know what's going on in the shop?"

"Returning to my lord, the civilian woman is the servant girl of Miss Du's family. When the incident happened, the civilian woman had already received the grace of the eldest lady and was released from the house to marry He Tang, so she knew about Brother Wu Jin."

"The young lady of the Du family you are talking about is the aunt of the Hou Mansion who is visiting relatives in Suzhou?"

"If it's back to the adults, it's her."

Xu Yihuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the trembling people kneeling in the hall, and the common people outside the hall pointing fingers, and took a picture of the gavel, "Review later, withdraw from the hall!"
