She dressed as a concubine and was targeted by the powerful brother.

As the New Year approaches, every household is filled with joy, but Fu Zhenqing's mansion is shrouded in dark clouds.

Fu Zhenqing lay in bed dying, taking medicine all day long.

Fu Rudi came to visit him several times, but was turned away by Fu Zhenqing. This was the first time in so many years that he was so indifferent to Fu Rudi.

Fu Rudi knew that Fu Zhenqing was complaining about him.

She blamed him for being a popular figure in front of the emperor and a high-ranking official with great power, but as a son, he left his father alone. Fu Rudi didn't want to explain, so he gave Mr. Xie a sum of money and returned to the government office, deciding to wait until Fu Zhenqing decided what he wanted to do before he came to visit.

That's a lot of money.

Xie's money can support the Fu family's expenses for a long time.

She looked at the banknote, then at the emaciated Fu Zhenqing on the hospital bed, and sighed, "I'm afraid this year will be difficult."

"As long as our family is together and safe, we can live this new year."

Fu Yan was not discouraged.

So what if there is no eldest brother in the family?

Fu Rudi hasn't spent much time at home these years, and Fu Jiao is an outsider. As long as their room is fully occupied, they will still be harmonious and beautiful.

Xie looked at the sky.

In the late winter season, the sun is almost invisible. There have been gloomy dark clouds for days, and the icy howling wind is so cold that one's bones are numb.

She always felt that something bad was going to happen, "That's all, I won't think about it anymore. Look at what else is in short supply at home and buy some. You and Chang Jian both cut two new clothes, and we are going to celebrate the New Year."

"Ah."

Fu Yan nodded.

While the mother and daughter were talking, the maid outside the house suddenly ran over and called, "Madam, Miss, something serious is going to happen!"

Upon hearing this, the two of them suddenly felt their hearts pounding.

Fu Yan cursed: "What bad words are there! You still think the house is not chaotic enough!"

The maid wanted to cry but had no tears.

Xie recognized her as someone from Fu Changjian's room, signaled Fu Yan not to be angry, and quickly asked: "What happened? Take a breath and speak slowly."

"It's Dankou...Dankou, she..." The maid pointed in the direction of the Yamen, "Dankou, she went to the Yamen to report the Second Young Master's robbery of the daughter of the people back then! Now the Second Young Master has been arrested and taken to the Yamen, etc. We’re here for questioning!”

Xie's vision turned black, and she suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and she almost fainted.

Fu Yan quickly supported her and said anxiously: "What's this mess? My second brother raped a girl? How could I not know?!" She was still young at that time, and what Fu Changjian did was not honorable. Naturally, her family did not She was given the opportunity to speak out, so Fu Yan still stubbornly believed that Fu Changjian was wrongly accused, "What a joke! Where did these unfounded charges come from? There are several intercourse girls in my second brother's room who all agree with each other. No one was robbed!"

The more Fu Yan thought about it, the more unconvinced she became, "Who is the slanderer? I will definitely kill her if I find out!"

"enough!"

Xie recovered from her dizziness.

She gasped and glared at Fu Yan: "Stop talking!"

"Mother, they wronged my second brother..."

"shut up!"

Xie glared at her, pulled her into the next room, closed the door, and her expression changed again and again.

Seeing this, Fu Yan gradually recovered from her anger. She asked in disbelief: "Mother, you...are you saying that my second brother really did this stupid thing back then?"

Xie nodded helplessly. "He was young and energetic, and after being encouraged by his friends, he forced himself to rape a village girl. The village girl was also strong-willed. She committed suicide with her father without giving up a hundred taels of silver..."

House seemingly endless rain.

Why do things happen to family members one after another?

Fu Zhenqing was just released from prison, and Fu Changjian went in again.

Xie had no choice but to go to the Yamen in person with Fu Yan, but was rejected.

Fu Yan was furious, and she said to the official at the door: "This is unreasonable! Do you know that Fu Rudi is my eldest brother!"

"Master Fu is not here! If you want to establish a relationship, you have to wait until he is in the Yamen."

The official had seen many people like this, so he dismissed them with just one sentence.

Fu Yan still wanted to make a noise, but Xie pulled her aside.

Mrs. Xie seemed to be more polite. She said softly: "I dare to ask Brother Guan, where did my Rudy go?"

The official didn't want to pay attention to them, but he was afraid that they were really related to Fu Rudi, so he thought about it and replied truthfully: "Master Fu entered the palace early this morning. If you want to find him, go and guard outside the palace gate."

"This……"

Xie and Fu Yan never dared to wander around the palace.

Not to mention anything else, if they meet the evil star Princess Zhaofu, it will be enough for them to drink a pot. In this life, neither of them want to meet Princess Zhaofu again.

Xie sighed and left in frustration.

I don't know what bad luck it was, but Fu Rudi was called into the palace again. The person in charge of their Fu family's case was still King Guangping.

King Guangping and the others will definitely not be able to see him.

All that can be done now is to go back and wait for news, silently pray to Buddha and recite sutras, hoping that Fu Changjian will survive the disaster.

King Guangping had the previous case of Fu Zhenqing as a reference, and he also understood the thoughts of Fu Rudi and the emperor, that is, there was no need to cover up and the case should be handled in accordance with the law.

Danko is fully prepared.

She couldn't help but confess that Fu Changjian forced the old village girl to death, and also named the witnesses from that year one by one, including the bodyguard of the escort agency who pulled out the tongue of the old village girl, the son of Zhao Shilang who encouraged Fu Changjian to defile the village girl, The village tyrant is outside the village. With such details, King Guangping immediately asked Si Nan and Si Bei to arrest the person, and he would be sure to catch them every time!

These people are weaklings.

As soon as they saw the "mirror hanging high" in the courtroom, the government officials on both sides were so frightened that they shook their heads.

Fu Changjian didn't dare to argue because he was in a nightmare. He lay on the ground shivering. Under the identification of Dan Kou and seven or eight witnesses and accomplices, Fu Changjian could not deny it and confessed the crime in an extremely cowardly manner.

King Guangping has never handled such an outrageous case.

They are all old cases, involving the Fu family and his son. Not only that, both father and son confessed everything without denying it, as if they were possessed by evil spirits.

Although Fu Changjian is hateful. But he was young at the time, and he was instigated by others, so he did not personally pull out their tongues. He was the root of the crime. Since he did not do it himself, he was given a rich burial by the village girl and the old man afterwards, so that he would not be sentenced to death.

King Guangping thought for a long time and decided to cut the punishment in half for Fu Rudi's sake and give him fifty sticks.

As a result, Fu Changjian would not be able to obtain any honors, and would have no chance of becoming an official in the future.

Fu Changjian was not very knowledgeable, so he didn't feel sad about it. He was just afraid of the fifty sticks and was so frightened that he peed his pants. After seeing the ferocious look of Sinan and Sibei, he fainted again and again during the execution.

As for his accomplices, they all received due punishment.

It's like history repeats itself.

In the evening, in the thick darkness, two officers from the Yamen used a stretcher to carry back Fu Changjian, who had been tortured with a cane, like a dead dog.
