Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 110 Countermeasures
Qiu Yiran, who had just stepped through the door, asked in surprise: "Is the government office here to fetch someone?"

Marquis Qingyuan snorted: "It would be better if we really came to arrest him. They interrogated him all night, and the book has been sent to the capital. This Lin Tingwei is so arrogant!"

Liu Agen and the people from the Yamen who went to find out the news almost arrived. Liu Agen said that there were no casualties in Meizhuang. He heard that because Meizhuang's mechanism was so powerful, the bandits suffered heavy casualties as soon as they entered. In addition, Banshan, the master of the second young master of the Yin family, The old man and the government officials arrived in time, and Meizhuang basically suffered no damage.

Before Liu Agen finished his report, people from the Yamen arrived, but instead of taking the person, they informed him that the bandits, the steward of the Hou Mansion, and Ji Fulai had all confessed and given tangible evidence. Although the bandits were The attack on Meizhuang was unsuccessful, but the fact that the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion colluded with the bandits to seek wealth and murder has been proven by both witnesses and material evidence.However, the title of the Marquis of Qingyuan was conferred by the royal family, and the Ji family who was directly involved in the case was also a second-grade imperial concubine. Therefore, the prefecture's Yamen did not arrest and interrogate Ji and everyone in the Marquis' family for the time being, but instead collected all the confession evidence. A copy was compiled and sent to Beijing for the emperor to decide.During this period, no one in the Qingyuan Hou Mansion was allowed to leave the city.However, if the Marquis wants to go to Beijing in person to explain to the emperor, it is okay. The government will send someone to escort him.

Magistrate Lin's approach was impeccable. According to Da Ying law and similar precedents, in such a situation, the emperor would decide to send an imperial envoy to try the case, or to declare the Qing Yuan Hou Mansion to Beijing, or not to convict.

Qiu Yiran slumped down on the chair. He had already been sent to the capital, and there was no room for maneuver?Their father and son originally planned to grit their teeth and give the Phoenix Feather Zhai Feng Purple Gold Pearl Crown and the only remaining valuable property, the village on the outskirts of the city, to Magistrate Lin. The village was not big, but it was full of fertile fields.At the same time, Qiu Yiran will also come up with a good strategy for Magistrate Lin to gain both fame and fortune, which will not offend Prince Jing or make Tie Muyuan suspicious, but will also allow him to take possession of most of the property left by Yin Zhiruo.

If you don’t bite your hand when you have too much money, who would be afraid of having too much money?Magistrate Lin has a backer in the capital, but managing relationships in the capital is really a waste of money!Therefore, Qiu Yiran is still very confident.

On the other hand, in this way, they had a handle on Magistrate Lin, and they could advance and retreat together in the future.

Unexpectedly, his abacus was well planned, but God didn't give him a chance. He heard early in the morning that Meizhuang was fine and that Yin Zhiruo and his sister were not dead. Now Magistrate Lin was caught off guard.Overnight arraignment?What a good official who serves the country and the people!Is it to catch up with the emperor’s palace banquet in early March every year?Everyone knew that those who could attend the spring banquet were all popular figures or people who had attracted the emperor's attention, and there were even fewer local officials.

Although most of the lists of local officials attending the palace banquet were notified years ago, Luozhou is close to the capital, and Magistrate Lin has made such a major contribution to suppressing bandits, so it is not impossible to obtain a temporary quota.To say the least, even if he couldn't attend the Spring Banquet in person, it would be an honor if his wife and daughter could get an invitation from the Queen, right?

Qiu Yiran punched the table. It was so abominable. He was stepping on their Qiu family to climb up!But what can they say?This ladder was handed over by the Qiu family's mistress herself.

Can we just passively wait for a beating?No, this is not his habit!
"Father," Qiu Yiran was silent for a while and finally said, "it's better to send mother to the family temple, and then you write an apology note and send it to the capital, saying that because of your lax management of the family and your poor health in the past six months, That's why she didn't notice when her mother was deceived and made such a big mistake, and asked the emperor to punish her." As for the person who deceived the Ji family, it was naturally Ye Fang'er.

Marquis Qingyuan thought about it for a while and realized that his son's brain was more useful, so he could only deal with it this way. It was the best for the Qiu family, him and Qiu Yiran, and even the Ji family.The Ji family is the head mistress of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion. Even if it is indeed Ji's collusion with the bandits, the emperor will definitely not let the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion go.Since there is no way to escape punishment, it is better to simply plead guilty and accept the punishment. Instead, change the impression that you are brave and sincere, and maybe you can get the emperor to be more open-minded and accept the punishment he has already made.

Thinking of this, Marquis Qingyuan nodded: "That's it, I'll take a rest for a year and pass the title to you directly. Yi'er, from now on, the Qiu family will really be handed over to you. My father has no ability, so I wanted to With your intelligence and wit, and the help of the Yin family's power and Yin Zhiruo's dowry, you may be able to revive the Qiu family. I didn't expect...are their Qiu family's anger enough? No, no, it's all that idiot of the Ji family and Ye Fang'er. What a sin.

"Father,..." Qiu Yiran wanted to refuse. His father was still in his prime. What would others think of him if he gave up his position now?But thinking about it again, my father had considered it carefully. If not, it would be hard to say whether the title would be preserved or not. There might still be a chance of survival, just like cutting off hair instead of beheading.

"You don't need to say anything more, it's decided like this." Qingyuan Hou waved his hand, and suddenly remembered Liu Agen's words just now, "When did the old man Banshan accept Yin Minghui as his apprentice? Haven't you heard anything about it before?" Don't say that he has. Ruxiu came out of Meizhuang, Qiu Yiran also sent a special person to keep an eye on Meizhuang.

Qiu Yiran shook his head and said, "No," although he didn't know martial arts, he still knew about Old Man Banshan. After all, Hua Shixin, the emperor's first sword-carrying guard and the sensational civil and military double explorer Hua Shixin, was Old Man Banshan's disciple.It is said that the old man Banshan has very high requirements for accepting disciples, and he will not even pay the prince's debt. So far, he only has two disciples, one is famous in the court, and the other is famous in the world.

Marquis Qingyuan squinted his eyes and sighed: "We were wrong and failed your grandfather's intentions. That girl Yin Zhiruo should have been able to help you, even if her parents are gone." A strong natal family is certainly more powerful. Okay, but the ability and character of the mother-in-law are the most important, not to mention that Yin Zhiruo still has a large sum of money that can help her support the Qiu family's dowry.

They had only seen Yin Zhiruo's natal family and dowry before, but they were extremely disdainful of her. And this Yin Zhiruo was obviously not the naive and easy-to-deceive person they thought she was.Also, how could such shrewd parents give birth to an innocent eldest daughter?Rather, they were self-righteous and were deceived by appearances and Ye Fang'er's bewitchment.

From the moment they forced Yin Zhiruo to demote his wife as a concubine on the day of their marriage, they made a complete mistake and it was an irreversible mistake. They made further mistakes every step of the way, getting further and further away from their goal.

Qiu Yiran shook his head, his face turned a little pale, and he said softly but firmly: "The matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it. Father, please stop blaming yourself. Please believe, father, that your son will definitely revive the Qiu family."
