Chapter 529
Everyone has dignity, not to mention that he has always been such a high-ranking person, and he bowed his knees because he was willing. Now, she has finally touched his bottom line.

"Okay." Jian Yunling smiled brightly like a flower.But the moisture in the eye sockets has been surging.

It's finally over, this time, it's completely over.

You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, just like you can never touch a person who loves you.

But once a person has a desire, as long as you stir up the fire in his heart a little bit, the fire will burn fiercely and never stop.

Just as they guessed, the old mayor had indeed intended to side with Yu Wenzheng a long time ago, and thus gained a place in the court.And he really didn't want to involve the people of Plum Blossom Town, but the reason had nothing to do with wealth and power, it was only related to a distant old case.

This matter has to start with the old mayor when he was young.

At that time, he was still a handsome young man, and his father served as a first-rank royal doctor. Speaking of which, his family was well-off.

The old mayor's family education is very strict, and he has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. Influenced by his father, he also dreams that one day he can use what he has learned to serve the country and become a wise and virtuous minister like Zhuge Kongming or Lin Xiangru.

But he didn't know that Chaotang was never as simple as he thought.

True talents and real learning are often defeated by treacherous plots.His father was one of the victims of those plots.

According to the law, the imperial censor can impeach officials below the first rank. Of course, these officials also include Jian Sheng, who was not a high-ranking official at the time.

The father of the old mayor was honest and honest, and he offended many people in the officialdom.Once, his father received an anonymous letter, in which he named and reported that Jian Sheng, who was then Minister of the Household Department, embezzled the disaster relief funds for himself, and attached all the evidence.

At that time, although Jian Sheng's official position was not high, but because of his special relationship with General Si and Concubine Si, not many people dared to offend him, and the emperor loved him very much.

The aged doctor censor locked himself in his study for a whole day and night, finally packed his clothes and hurried into the palace.

It was this time entering the palace that pushed the entire Zhongsun family to a dead end.

In the huge hall, Dr. Zhongsun knelt among the officials, clutching those thin papers in his hands, but had no chance to speak at all.

Because Jian Sheng got the news long ago, he secretly plotted to detain a criminal who was corrupt and bribed to him.Even the so-called ledger of stolen money was searched from an unnoticed corner of his house.

The old doctor couldn't argue with a hundred words, sobbing again and again, blood flowed from his forehead, staining the jade-white floor red, and he didn't get a chance to defend himself.

So seamlessly framed, almost without any investigation, the emperor convicted the old doctor.

Soon, the imperial decree was issued, and the entire Zhongsun family was beheaded. Among the exiles, only the only son of the old doctor escaped from the capital with the help of General Si Luoyi and hid in Meihua Town.

Many years later, this young man concealed his identity and became the mayor of Plum Blossom Town. Because of his high reputation, he has been serving until now. He has become the gray-haired old man they saw that day.

The old mayor told Yu Wenzheng that from the moment he left the capital, he swore secretly that he would return with a clear name, and clear up the grievances for the entire Zhongsun family in an upright manner.

And he, after waiting all his life, finally waited for Yu Wenzheng.
