There is an ancient painting in the Xu family, which is the last painting of the painters of the previous dynasty and is a priceless treasure.This painting was collected by the ancestors of the Xu family, and it is also a family heirloom of the Xu family.The Xu family knew that the husband was innocent and he was guilty of the crime. This painting has been collected by the head of the Xu family, and it is rarely known to outsiders.

But maybe the Xu family really deserved a doom. The young master of the Xu family accidentally revealed the fact that the painting was kept in his home at a friend gathering, and it was this that brought terrible disasters to the Xu family.As for the young master of the Xu family, Xu Rui, who killed the beggar, that was the case.

That person should not be a beggar but a homeless man in Yuzhou Prefecture. There is a father and son who are refugees who fled to Yuzhou. After arriving in Yuzhou, they lived by begging. What happened that day? It's not clear, but after spending a lot of money to meet the young master of the Xu family, the young master of the Xu family said that he had a party with his friends that day, and walked home alone in a drowsy state. Hit the head with something, and when he woke up again, he saw a bloody dagger in his hand, and the homeless old man was lying at his feet, with a big hole in his chest, and blood flowed out of the hole

Before the young master of the Xu family recovered from his panic, he heard a passer-by yelling that he had killed someone. After that, the young master of the Xu family was arrested as a murderer.The evidence was conclusive and the evidence was complete. Although the young master of the Xu family had always denied the murder, it was of no use.

It only took two months from the time the young master of the Xu family was arrested to his death.During this period of time, the Xu family naturally went up and down to find connections for the lawsuit against the young master of the Xu family, and the painting was also sent out in order to save the life of the young master of the Xu family. Unfortunately, the person who received the scroll did not follow the promise. After running around for the young master of the Xu family and sending this painting instead, the young master of the Xu family executed it faster than other people who had been sentenced to death.

And the Xu family fell down after this, I don't know who offended, the food shop of the Xu family made people eat up, the silk shop was caught in a fire, and the whole Xu family changed from a relatively well-off family in Yuzhou Prefecture overnight. After becoming nothing, the old lady of the Xu family couldn't bear this kind of blow after another. After the death of the young master of the Xu family, they passed away one after another, leaving only the young wife of the Xu family and a five-year-old child.

"That's how things are. I have asked the people below to find out Xu Rui's case file and review it again. Sure enough, there are many unclear points in it. I am afraid that this Xu Rui is really wronged. He will not be responsible for this case. It was murdered by someone.

If this is the case, I am afraid that it has something to do with that famous painting.This is also a misfortune from the mouth, but that person is really vicious, if you want a famous painting, just ask someone to buy it.If the owner is really reluctant to give up, forget it, why bother to destroy someone's family because of a painting, such a vicious person is discovered by me, I will never let him go lightly. "

Lin Mingjin was really angry this time. Under his Yuzhou rule, such people are absolutely not allowed to exist. He can kill a few people for a painting, so he can also plot for a word or a pot of flowers. other people.

"I have already sent someone to investigate the family where Mrs. Xu's wife sent the painting. I believe there will be an answer soon. I will interrogate them after they come back." During the time in Yuzhou Mansion, many people have already questioned him. The magistrate expressed his allegiance, and Lin Mingjin also inspected the character of some of them, and temporarily gathered those who were truly capable, but now it was time for them to use them.

These people are not as good as Lin Mingjin, who is a foreigner, and they are all natives of Yuzhou. They know more about the affairs of Yuzhou than Lin Mingjin.When they mentioned the matter of the Xu family, Wen Xian knew the meaning, and the matter of the Xu family was considered a major event in Yuzhou Prefecture, so these people knew a thing or two.It's just that they can't compete with the blade behind them, and the Xu family is just a businessman, so they don't dare to do anything.Now that the new magistrate has made it clear that he wants to investigate this case, they have to make a good contribution to this nomination certificate.

What happened later was related to Ji Xuan's father-in-law, Lord Wang.Soon Lin Mingjin found out that the instigator behind this case was none other than Mr. Wang.Mr. Wang became obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and when he heard that there was such a famous painting by a former painter in Xu Rui's house, he wanted to keep it for himself when he saw Lie Xinxi.But Mr. Wang is very clear that this painting is a family heirloom of the Xu family, so naturally he will not buy or sell it. In order to get this painting, he asked people to make this case, and let the members of the Xu family willingly send this painting to him. .

Of course, in order to deceive others, Mr. Wang did not accept the painting himself, but asked one of his confidantes to take the painting and hand it over to him.In order to avoid complications, Mr. Wang who got the picture scroll completely brought down the Xu family.It has been nearly two years since the incident happened. If Lin Mingjin hadn't come here, this case might never have a day of justice.

Knowing the truth, what Lin Mingjin has to do now is to find evidence. These are all Lin Mingjin's guesses. Only by finding conclusive evidence can the Xu family be cleared and let this corrupt official pay the price he deserves.Of course, the evidence is not difficult for Lin Mingjin to find. Everything Mr. Wang did with his power was not flawless. If the original person handled the case more carefully and did not want to close the case hastily, then Xu Rui would not die tragically, and the Xu family would not die. No family will be destroyed.Lin Mingjin sighed, and put the file in his hand aside, there are always too many helplessness in the world, Lin Mingjin knows very well that he is only one person and can't do much about these helplessness.

I can only do my best to strive for the things he can encounter, and give the parties due justice.One month after receiving the clay figurines, the case of the Xu family was settled, Mr. Wang was imprisoned, the mansion was confiscated by the government, and all the ill-gotten gains were confiscated into the treasury. But it was returned to Mrs. Xu in exchange for the original owner.

"Master Lin, thank you for returning the justice of our Xu family and my husband. There is nothing that a woman can thank you, Master Lin. This painting is a little wish of the woman. I hope you can accept it. Master Lin, please don't refuse, Please listen to the lady's words. There are only us mother and son left in the woman's house. The husband is innocent and pregnant. The husband of the woman left us just because of this painting. This painting is our family heirloom. , but it is a hot potato in the hands of women, it is better to hand him over to someone who suits him."

Seeing that Lin Mingjin wanted to refuse, the woman explained.What she said made Lin Mingjin unable to refuse. This painting is a trouble for the mother and child in front of them. They have no ability to protect this painting. If this painting is returned to them, there may be another one. Mrs. Wang appeared beside them. The mother and son had already suffered a lot. Lin Mingjin looked at Mrs. Xu Jiashao with pleading eyes, but couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Then I will accept this painting, but this painting is invaluable. If Mrs. Xu gave it to me like this, I will be ashamed of it. The things I do for your family are my duty." Tomorrow, the Japanese officials will convert this painting into silver taels and return it to Mrs. Xu."

Although it was copied from Mr. Wang's house, there was no financial benefit for the Xu family other than returning the painting.The main reason for the decline of the Xu family's business was the fire.Looking at Mrs. Xu who was still a poor family, Lin Mingjin didn't allow the other party to sell the words of refusal, so he directly settled the matter.After returning to the mansion, Lin Mingjin handed over the house deed and a stack of banknotes in a courtyard that Wang's family had confiscated to Mrs. Xu's young lady.

"Ye'er, you have to remember Master Lin's kindness. If Master Lin hadn't appeared, our Xu family would not be where it is today. Your father's grievances may not have a chance to be rehabilitated in this life." Mrs. Xu's young lady looked at the The deed, tears flowed from the eyes, dripping on the deed in his hand.

"Mother, I know that Mr. Lin has been kind to our Xu family to rebuild, but this painting is a family heirloom of our Xu family. If you just hand it over to Mr. Lin, you are sorry for your dead father."

Although Xu Ye also understood Lin Mingjin's kindness to their Xu family, he was still a little reluctant to part with that famous painting. You must know that this painting is not just a painting, but the meaning of the existence of the Xu family. Giving meaningless paintings to others, knowing that his mother's actions might be the best choice for them, Xu Ye still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Stupid child, people can't have attachments, attachments will become a kind of greed. Compared with that painting, what your grandparents, your father hopes is that you can grow up safely. Only when you are strong enough can you protect What you care about, who you care about. If you really care about that painting, when you have the strength to protect that painting in the future, you can go to Master Lin to buy the painting again. I believe Master Lin will Agree to your request."

Mrs. Xu's family is a wise woman, and it is this kind of wisdom that allows her to understand what is most important in the shortest time.When he saw Lin Mingjin for the first time, Lin Mingjin thought he was hiding him well, but in fact he didn't know that Mrs. Xu Jiashao had recognized his identity when she saw him for the first time.

On the day when Lin Mingjin entered Yuzhou Mansion, Mrs. Xu, who had not let go of her injustice, wanted to find the new magistrate.Not knowing whether Zhizhou would rehabilitate their Xu family, Mrs. Xu secretly observed Lin Mingjin more than once.It was also in this way that the moment Lin Mingjin appeared in Xu's house, many things were already doomed.
