Ling Ruoyun is teasing his son when Xu Wu enters the room with a gloomy face. Ling Ruoyun goes over and tries to untie Xu Wu's clothes, but he is pushed away by Xu Wu.

"Sir, what's the matter? To make you so angry? " Seeing Xu Wu like this, it must be no small matter.

Xu Wu asked Ling Ruoyun, "take the letter Ling ruoyuan wrote to you and show it to me." Now he can be sure that Ling ruoyuan must not only talk about Zhao's birth.

Ling Ruoyun's face changed and said, "master, I burned that letter." She has written a letter to reprimand Ling ruoyuan, let him do his own job, don't do things beyond. Han Jianming is the eldest brother of the princess, and deeply trusted by the princess. How could Ling ruoyuan, a small magistrate, offend her.

Xu Wu asked, "what did he say in the letter? Don't hide it from me any more. "

Ling Ruoyun roughly said the content of the letter: "master, if the source is wrong, I have written to reprimand him."

When Xu Wu heard this, he sneered: "how can he say that Han Jianming only covers the sky in Jiangnan? Does he think he is Qingtian in the world, or does he think the princess is a drunkard Even if Han Jianming is the eldest brother of the princess, he can't cover the sky in Jiangnan. You know, the generals guarding Jiangnan will not listen to Han Jianming's dispatch. Moreover, there are Yang Duoming and others there! If Han Jianming really has a place to go beyond, even if he is the eldest brother of the princess, the princess will not allow him.

Ling Ruoyun said carefully: "master, ruoyuan must have been hoodwinked by villains. Master, I've already scolded him. He won't do it again. "

Xu Wu sneered and said: "if he only slandered Han Jianming, it's OK. But he was bold enough to take bribes. " Although the Ling family is not very rich, it is also a well-off family. There is no lack of food and clothing. Unexpectedly, Ling ruoyuan will take bribes.

Ling Ruoyun's face turned white: "master, how could ruoyuan do such a thing? There must be a mistake. "

Xu Wu said: "some officials impeached him for corruption and bribery. The so-called void does not come from the wind. He will certainly be impeached for his improper conduct."

Ling Ruoyun said: "ruoyuan must have been framed." She didn't believe her brother would do such a self destructive thing.

Xu Wu looked at Ling ruoyuan and said, "I also hope this is a misunderstanding. Otherwise, I will be responsible. " Ling ruoyuan was recommended by him. If something happens, he will also be jointly and severally liable.

Ling Ruoyun was waiting to say something else when he heard his little son howling in the room.

Xu Wu said, "go and coax the children! I'm going back to the palace. Don't think much about Ling ruoyuan. If he is framed and slandered, I won't sit back and ignore him. " But if he had not been stigmatized, he was determined not to take care of it.

Ling Ruoyun coaxed his son, and then let the old woman take him down: "Xiaolian, get me a pen and paper."

In the middle of writing, Ling Ruoyun tore up the letter and wrote it again. After writing, the letter still hasn't been written for nearly half an hour.

Looking at Ling Ruoyun sitting on the chair, Xiaolian asked cautiously: "madam, what's the matter with you?" Look at the restless look.

"Some officials impeached ruoyuan for corruption and bribery," Ling said Xiaolian was brought by her from the Ling family, and she was also a servant girl with her since childhood, so she didn't avoid it.

Xiaolian was startled, but she said quickly: "madam, my uncle must have been framed. Don't worry, madam, just wait for things to be found out. "

Ling Ruoyun shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's true." If it's not true, the master can't be so angry. After so many years of marriage, I still know this.

Xiaolian opened her mouth in surprise: "how can it be? Uncle is not short of money, how can corruption? There must be a mistake, ma'am. "

Ling Ruoyun said with a bitter smile: "although the Ling family doesn't worry about food and drink, it is relatively common people." Ling Ruoyun was in charge of the family at that time. Naturally, he knew everything about the property of the Ling family. Although Ling ruoyuan got all the property, it was only 4500 taels of silver. Jiangnan is the richest place in the world. It's estimated that the property of the Ling family can't even compare with the ordinary rich families in Jiangnan.

Xiaolian asked incredulously, "Madam means it's true. Isn't my uncle framed?"

Ling Ruoyun nodded gently.

Xiaolian said anxiously: "madam, please go to the master and ask him to help him." Who doesn't know that corrupt officials are the most hated by the Lord and the princess in Ho City. Once caught, it's not as simple as throwing a black hat. It's probably a loss of life.

Ling Ruoyun said with a bitter smile: "if the source wants to really take bribes, the master will not come forward." Ling Ruoyun knows that what Xu Wu hates most is corruption and bribery, because he suffers from it. If the source committed other things, as long as she pleaded, her husband would help in his own face, but this is not the case.

After receiving the official letter, Liang Songbai, Jiangnan's inspector general, immediately began to thoroughly investigate Ling ruoyuan's case of corruption and bribery.

Mr. Qu got the news and said, "Sir, you should have a thorough investigation into this corruption. But the princess has bypassed you and let Liang Songbai thoroughly investigate this matter, which is also a bad sign for us. " Han Jianming is the governor of Jiangnan and the largest official here. As a matter of principle, nothing can bypass him. Now the princess's action is clearly not to trust Han Jianming.

Mr. Zhao was also worried: "Sir, we haven't heard anything about this. Master, do you feel at ease? "

Han Jianming doesn't worry that Yuxi will doubt him. He still has this confidence: "that's not good. But I don't know what happened under the rule. I'm afraid the princess annoyed me. "

Mr. Qu said very directly: "Sir, I don't know whether to say something or not?"

Han Jianming knew that it would not be good words, but he nodded and said, "Mr. Qu, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Heaven has no brothers." Mr. Qu saw Han Jianming's mind, so he said this specially.

The princess is the real ruler in the world. It's not too much to say that she is a king without a crown. The most important thing for such people is power and interests. As for family affection, it is dispensable to them.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "it's not that far yet." Han Jianming is not sure whether Yuxi will become a stranger in the future, but not yet.

Mr. Zhao said: "master, you have to write a plea as soon as possible, otherwise you will have a lot of trouble." Before that, Han Jianming wantonly cleaned and killed many people in Jiangnan, so he offended many people and formed a great hatred. These people want to cut Han Jianming into pieces. If he lost the backing of the princess, his fate would be worrying.

Han Jianming said nothing.

Corrupt officials can't be caught and killed. Yuxi knows this very well. However, if severe punishment is used, officials will have some scruples and dare not be blatant. Therefore, Liang Songbai's corruption case is not an all-out investigation, but a thorough investigation.

Many people have been dug out by pulling out radishes with holes. Niu Jingyi, the magistrate of Jinling, was also involved in the corruption case.

Han Jianming's face changed greatly when he got the news. You should know that Niu Jingyi is his confidant. Now that Niu Jingyi is involved in the corruption case, he can hardly get rid of his innocence.

Mr. Zhao said, "Sir, we can't ignore this." If you let it go, you may be traced back to the master.

Han Jianming waved his hand and said, "if they want to check, let them check." If these people want to punish him, they have to see if they have the ability.

Niu Jingyi was put in prison. His eldest son went to the governor's house to find Han Jianming. Chen Yuan pleaded with him, but Han Jianming didn't see him. Just let Han Gao go out to see him, saying that people are not afraid of shadow slanting, if Niu Jingyi did not corruption, you do not have to be afraid of Liang Songbai thorough investigation. On the contrary, intercession is useless.

Naturally, the cattle family would not give up the only way to survive. Mrs. Niu knew that Qiu would go to Qixia Temple to offer incense on the 15th day of every month, so she waited in Qixia Temple.

Looking at Mrs. Niu kneeling on the ground and crying like a man, Qiu couldn't bear it. He said to the servant girl beside him: "poor girl, help her up!"

Unwilling to get up, Mrs. Niu cried and said, "old lady, my master has been an official for so many years. Who doesn't say he is honest? This time it's a villain who wants to harm our master. Old lady, please be merciful and save our master

Mother Li didn't wait for Qiu to speak, frowned and said, "Mrs. Niu, if you have a grievance, you can go to the government to apply. You can go to the people of the supervision department. Our old lady doesn't care about things outside. It's no use asking. "

If Mrs. Niu had any other way, she would not be able to ask in front of Qiu: "please, old lady, my master has been wronged. As long as Mr. Han is willing to make decisions for our master, my master will not have to die unjustly. Old lady, you are the most merciful reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Please help my master

Qiushi see Mrs. cow cry fainted past, busy let people pinch her people, wait for Mrs. cow wake up, Qiushi said: "if cow adult is really wronged, I will let tomorrow return him a innocence."

When I went back, Qiu's face was a little ugly. No one will be happy when such a thing happens.

Mother Li thought about it and said, "old lady, it's not Mrs. Niu who said that she was wronged. There must be something in the matter. " In fact, mother Li wants to persuade Qiu to leave it alone, but she knows Qiu's temperament, and it's useless to persuade her.

Qiu Shi says: "wait to ask tomorrow son to know is how to return a responsibility."

Back at the governor's house, Qiu asked people to look for Han Jianming. The servant girl quickly turned back and said, "old lady, the eldest master has something to do with going out. The eldest housekeeper said that he might come back in the evening." As the biggest official in Jiangnan, Han Jianming has many things to do.

When it was dark, Han Jianming came back. Hearing that Qiu Shi was looking for him, he rushed back to the hospital immediately.

Han Gao followed him and said, "master, I'm afraid I'm looking for you this time because of the corruption case."

Han Jianming stopped and asked, "for the corruption case? How does the old lady know this? " Qiu's family is not in charge of affairs, and no one in the governor's office has the courage.

Han Gao said that Qiu's Shangxiang had met Mrs. Niu: "the Niu family is scheming to see the old lady. Our people didn't guard against it and let them take advantage of it."

Han Jianming's face was a little ugly: "what are the guards for? This time, it's just the Wen family. What if someone with a bad heart approaches the old lady? "

Han Gao said in a low voice: "it's a small dereliction of duty. Please punish me." In fact, it can't be blamed on Han Gao, because after arriving at the temple, Qiu felt that it was disrespectful to the Buddha and Bodhisattva to take the guard, so he didn't want to let the guard follow him.

Han Jianming did not say a word, said: "even this time, no next time." It's not a secret that his mother goes to Qixia Temple on the 15th day of every month, so every time Qiushi goes out, she will have enough guards.

Han Gao answered quickly.

Qiu met Han Jianming and asked, "is there any corruption in Niu Zhifu?" In the afternoon, she had already taken someone to inquire about it and had a general understanding of it.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "whether to take bribes or not must go through trial. If he is innocent, Liang Songbai will not be wronged. " Liang Songbai, in the name of fairness and justice, would not have been appointed by Yuxi as Jiangnan envoy.

After turning the beads in his hand for two turns, Qiu asked, "what kind of punishment will he get if he takes bribes?"

Han Jianming did not want to say: "if the amount is large, it will be beheaded." If Niu Jingyi really takes bribes, the amount is certainly not small.

Qiushi some can't bear to say: "must behead to show public?"? Can't we punish it in other ways? "

Han Jianming said: "if he really takes bribes, and the amount is huge, he will not only be beheaded in public, but also affect his wife and children."

"Amitabha." After reading a few words, Qiu said: "this is too cruel, how innocent the old and weak women and children, this should be told Yuxi."

Han Jianming said with some headache: "Niang, there are family rules in the state-owned Legalists. If Niu Jing really violates the national law, he should be punished according to the law."

Holding the bead, Qiu said: "the law is not the fundamental way to solve the problem. Killing is not the fundamental way to solve the problem."

Han Jianming knew that it was unreasonable to reason with Qiu: "Niang, Niu Jingyi is one of my trusted subordinates. If he is really corrupt, I can't get rid of it. "

The autumn surname hears this words immediately anxious, hurriedly asks a way: "this matter jade Xi how to say?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "I don't know what attitude Yuxi has now. So at this time, Niang, you can't help Niu Jingyi plead. As soon as you send this letter out, Yuxi thinks it's my meaning! " More he also dare not say, save autumn's anxious get angry.

Qiu Shi orders a head hastily way: "I won't write a letter." Finish saying, very uneasily ask a way: "tomorrow son, this matter should not involve you?"

Han Jianming originally wanted to say that it was ok, but then he thought that if someone asked for Qiu's help again, Qiu would write to Yuxi with a soft heart. Han Jianming said: "Niang, this time is different from the past, you should not carry the elder's airs in front of Yuxi in the future."

This is not very nice. Qiu Shi's face sinks down, say: "this words is what meaning?"

Han Jianming said: "Yuxi is the princess of Ming Dynasty, who controls most of the country. We are in front of her, first the minister, then the family. "

Qiu's face changed. After a long time, he said, "I know."
