The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 209

"My body is clear on its own, and there is not much time left, so...children, you...you have to be more open."

How can the old Mrs. Sheng insist on longevity? He stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Yu Enming's wrist, "Your father has just left a few days ago, and I... If I leave too, don't be sad, who will you?" This has happened to you, you shoulder the future of the two houses, Zicheng Shangyou cannot leave you as a father, you must not fall down!"

Yu Enming's expression moved slightly, and the water in his eyes appeared, "Grandfather, you will surely live a long life. The Tianshan snow lotus and thousand-year-old ginseng I asked the drug dealer to find have arrived. After making pills and taking them, your health will be better. "

"Don't force anything..." Old Master Sheng was about to say something, but Sheng Hong walked in.

"Old Master, Eldest Young Master." When no one from the Yu Mansion was present, Sheng Hong just followed the rules of the Sheng family and called Old Master Sheng "Master". With Yu Enming present, the seniority cannot be messed up.

"What's the matter?" The love in his eyes subsided in time, and Old Master Sheng knew that the investigation should have come to fruition.

"This..." Sheng Hong glanced at Yu Enming.

Old Master Sheng is getting old, his brain is no longer sharp, but he has a good foundation and is not stupid. He immediately understood that this must have something to do with his grandson, "But it doesn't matter."

"Grandpa, I'm guilty!"

Yu Enming got up and lifted his hem, then knelt on the ground, his forehead bang on the ground with tears in his eyes.

"Son, get up quickly! Sheng Hong, get him up quickly!" Old Master Sheng was in a panic. He struggled to get up several times but failed. He could only watch helplessly as his precious grandson abused himself and blamed himself endlessly.

The old housekeeper is also quite old, so how could he move a young and middle-aged man who insisted on kneeling, "My lord, I don't blame you for this. It can be stopped."

"what?"

Shocked, Old Master Sheng sat up straight, his face full of shock and anger, "Lao Hong, what are you talking about? Whose coffin will be opened and whose corpse will be examined?"

Yu Enming, who blamed himself, cried like a child, "My mother and maid Miaoyun."

"The county government is deceiving people too much. Is it true that I am a merchant who is weak and can be bullied? I'm going to the state government to sue him!" He slapped the bed board angrily, and the old man Sheng stared at those big protruding eyes. The coffin autopsy presided over this time?"

Sheng Hong has been a housekeeper for many years, and he understands better than anyone the reason why the people do not fight with the officials. Even if the old man has some relationship with the officials of the state government, if he asks them to deal with the officials of the county government, after paying the price, Sheng Hong may only be left with skins. .

"It was Chen Yuan, the new official from the county government, who encouraged the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant to come to the Sheng family grave to harass the ancestors!"

The angry Old Master Sheng found a punching bag, "It's just a job, she is so courageous, Sheng Hong, please change my clothes quickly, I'm going to the county government to see the magistrate, how could he take my daughter's body without my consent?" ..."

Yu Enming said solemnly, "Grandpa, that Chen Yuzuo is really hateful, but she has some skills, according to her autopsy..."

"What did she say?"

Yu Enming looked up at his grandfather, hesitating and uneasy, "According to her autopsy, the charred corpse in my mother's coffin is not my mother at all, it is the skeleton of a woman who has never given birth to a child, my mother... ...probably not dead!"

The atmosphere in the bedroom froze in an instant. Old Master Sheng forgot to move or speak, and Sheng Hong didn't dare to speak.

"No, your mother is dead! She is dead, she is indeed dead!" Old Master Sheng suddenly became excited.

"Son, no matter what they say, don't believe it. Those corrupt officials in the county government are just bullying you at a young age. Seeing that your father is dead, I'm about to die, so they want to use some nasty methods to ruin our reputation and let you You trade your wealth for a good reputation! Don’t worry about them, you... yes, just sell your property and move with your wife and children to live in other places. Weiyu County can’t wait anymore, they want to seize the wealth of the two prefectures, go away Hurry up!" The anxious Old Master Sheng repeatedly stretched out his hand to push Yu Enming away.

Yu Enming's expression froze, and his eyes suddenly became sad, "Grandpa, why are you so sure that my mother is dead? Don't you want her to be alive? Maybe, the new Chen Yuzuo can really bring me back to my mother."

"No, she's dead!" Old Master Sheng denied without hesitation.

Seeing that the relationship between the grandfather and grandson was about to become tense, Sheng Hong quickly said, "My lord, is what Chen Yuzuo said must be accurate?"

Yu Enming didn't speak, just lowered his head as if thinking about his mother.

"Since ancient times, I have never heard of a situation where you can tell whether a woman has given birth by looking at the pelvis. Chen Yu is no more than a little girl who has just reached the age of [-]. What does she know? We have to believe what she says? Look at the county magistrate Can you trust her? The county magistrate was suspicious of what she said and didn't accept it on the spot. So, let's wait for the villagers to donate the bones of their female relatives who have already been buried in the earth and pass the verification! Don't hurt the family just because of an outsider's words Be kind, it took the old man a lot of time to accept the fact that Miss is dead, and he also hoped that your mother would be resurrected..."

Chen Yuan was not aware of the conversation between the grandparents of the Sheng family.

A group of people hurried back to the yamen, closed the door and held a meeting.

The county magistrate was also afraid of Wei County magistrates making trouble, and proposed how to standardize the verification of the woman's bones, the method of donation, the review of the donor's qualifications, and how to supervise everything from digging graves to sending them to the county government.

Wei Xiancheng felt that the request was too much, the budget was too high, and the county government did not have so many servants at his disposal, which was really a waste of time and money.

Guan Zhixian also proposed that if the suppression was not enough, he would ask the Luo inspector to send troops to help.

Wei Xiancheng, who wanted to play tricks on it, would not do what he wanted, so he repeatedly rejected Guan Zhixian's proposal.

The two bargained at the meeting and fought back and forth.

Unlike in the past when Wei Xiancheng's family was dominant, either Guan Zhixian was defeated in one round, or Guan Zhixian didn't dare to speak at all.

Anyone with a bright mind can see that the situation in the county government has changed drastically, and the two adults are evenly matched.

At this time, Ma Li delivered a letter to Yu Quan, breaking the white-hot atmosphere of the meeting hall.

Yu Quan didn't dare to open the letter without authorization, and directly sent the letter to Guan Quantong, "My lord, please check."

"What letter?" Wei Xiancheng was dissatisfied, and went straight away annoyed.

In the past, what letters from the county government hadn't been read by him first, and then handed over to the magistrate Guan for reading because he found it troublesome and unpleasant?
Tear open the letter and read it directly, but Guan Quantong did not lose his manners and refused to answer, anyway, as a magistrate, he still has to protect the people who work for him, "I asked everyone to investigate the details of De, and there will be results. "

Wei Xiancheng's faction has already given all possible punishments to De Cai, and he is about to be tortured. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows angrily, "De Cai murdered the Patriarch. The facts are clear. What details do we need to investigate? Of course he murdered There is a conflict with the Patriarch, what does it have to do with his background? The county government needs people, but you let them go out to investigate these irrelevant matters."
