Chapter 275: Go back to the capital and overturn this false accusation
"Mom! Now is not the time to cry. We have to go back to the capital and overturn the false accusations against us." Du Wanwan supported Chen Xiangxiu and comforted and encouraged her in a voice that only the two of them could hear. "This happened in the capital. We have to go back and find out the cause. Don't cry. Take care of yourself and wait for father and Ye Tingxiao to come back. I'll be there for you."
Hearing this, Chen Xiangxiu was shocked. She wiped the tears from her face and sniffed: "Mom will listen to you."
What Wanwan said was right. The incident was brought up by the capital, and they had to go back and settle accounts with Ye Zhengchun. How could they slander someone for something that didn't happen at all?
What good would it do him to overthrow his elder brother? How could the title of Marquis of Pingyang be given to him?
Ye Tingxiao, Ye Zhenghai and Ye Tingfeng, father and son, appeared on the streets of Liangjun City in shackles, immediately attracting the attention of the people.
"What's going on? What happened to Marquis Pingyang? What happened to the Crown Prince?"
"I heard that my brother in the capital got into trouble and accused them of corruption."
"Corruption? Or did they get it from the capital? This is ridiculous. The Pingyang Marquis's mansion has few servants and small expenses. The Marquis's wife's dowry shop has income, and the Marquis has a salary. I haven't seen them eating and drinking lavishly, so why would they need corruption?"
"If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. Marquis Pingyang has been stationed in Liang County for so many years, and everything has been peaceful. Now that he's gone, I'm afraid the peace of Liang County will no longer be preserved."
"Yes! In order to settle the retired veterans, the Marquis and the Crown Prince have been buying land, manors and mountains, and have invested all their family wealth. If they want to embezzle, they should do it in Liangjun City! How could they go to the capital to embezzle?"
"I heard that the soldiers who searched the house only found 200 taels of silver, and didn't find a single valuable item. It's obvious that the money earned by Pingyang Marquis Mansion over the years has been used to subsidize retired veterans, and all the money earned by Doctor Du has been used to subsidize the people. Such a kind and righteous family was actually reported to the emperor for corruption and bribery. It's really laughable."
"Alas! The Marquis of Pingyang's mansion has been plotted against. Our Liangjun City is also going to change. Just wait and see! I'm afraid the days ahead will never be so peaceful again."
Shen Feiyan in the crowd saw Ye Tingxiao wearing shackles and couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune. This time she learned her lesson and didn't dare to say anything nonsense, and she also avoided people who laughed at her.
I was afraid of being slapped in the face like last time, which would be too shameful.
Oh! So what if Du Wanwan married into the Pingyang Marquis's mansion? She still didn't enjoy it and became a criminal. Fortunately, she had good vision and didn't rush to marry in, otherwise everything would be over.
When Yao Meixian heard about this, she was extremely anxious and immediately asked someone to call Du Wenjun back to discuss countermeasures.
"I heard that your sister is going to be sent to the capital, Wenjun! Let's go to the capital too." Du Jiang instructed his son, "Your sister has contributed too much to this family. She is in trouble now. We can't just stand by and watch."
Yao Meixian also agreed: "Let's go, let's all go to the capital together. We can't leave Wanwan alone, our whole family must be together no matter what."
Du Wenjun nodded: "Okay! I'll make arrangements right away. Let Doctor Liu run the People's Clinic and give him all the herbs and other supplies."
Du Jiang had no objection: "Sure. This is easy to handle. We just need to let him know. I believe that Doctor Liu will be able to carry forward the People's Hospital."
Chu Hanfeng took her daughter back to the room to pack up. Her parents-in-law said they were going to the capital, so she had to go back and say goodbye to the old lady and her father and mother. It was courtesy.
Kang Dawei from Zhuangzi also learned about this. He brought Ye Zhenghai's former personal soldiers to the city gate to say goodbye to him.
They didn't dare get too close, and just stood by and accompanied the patient silently for a long distance before returning and going directly to the People's Hospital.
Such a big thing has happened, and I don’t know what Mr. Du’s rules are.
They firmly believed that the Marquis was being wronged, especially by his own brother, which was really disgusting.
Hearing that the Du family was going to the capital, Kang Dawei said, "I'll go with you."
Uncle Li, who is in charge of the marinade, Uncle Yang, who is in charge of selling wine, and Uncle Qian, who is in charge of making sugar, all expressed their desire to go along.
Du Wenjun frowned, "It's fine to follow them, but what about our farm? I'm afraid that the people who will take over Liangjun City will be jealous of us and attack the people in the farm. We have to have someone to take charge."
Kang Dawei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this, Mr. Du. I have already let my son take over my job. If everything goes well, I will let the young man go to the capital to try his luck. Now that something like this has happened, it is more appropriate for us old men to go to the capital."
Uncle Li said, "No matter who the higher-ups send, the mighty general is still in Liangjun City. With him here, nothing will happen to our farm."
Uncle Yang followed up: "If it really doesn't work, we can take a group of people with us when we go to the capital, and let the people on the farm produce less things, just enough for our Liang County City and the surrounding areas. Otherwise, if there are too many things, people will be jealous."
Uncle Qian nodded, "That's right. As long as the Crown Prince's wife is still here, we won't fall. Master Du! It's settled. Let's go back and make arrangements and immediately dispatch a group of people to the capital."
Kang Dawei agreed: "Let's go back and prepare first, then we'll go to the farm in the capital. Mr. Du has something else to do, so don't worry about us. We'll meet again when we get to the capital."
Du Wenjun did not stop them. The farms in Liang County could no longer produce on a large scale, fearing trouble. After they left, there was no one to take care of them, and it was feared that the formula would be difficult to keep.
He hoped that the mighty general would take care of him for his elder sister's sake, so he went to the general's mansion. He did not go through the main door but quietly entered through the back door.
The gatekeeper knew that he was Doctor Du's younger brother, and also knew that he must have something to do at this time, so he did not make things difficult for him and let him in.
Yan Hong was cursing in the study room. He didn't expect that the King of Qi would be so ruthless. He came to confiscate the house without any prior warning.
It was not until he entered the city and the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion that he knew what had happened.
"The King of Qi has gone too far. In order to get Doctor Du to the capital, has he lost his dignity? He didn't get rid of him last time, but he came again this time. This is simply too much. The life of the King of Qi is life, but the lives of the people are not life?"
Madam Zhou advised: "General, don't be angry. The disaster that Pingyang Hou suffered may not be caused by the Crown Prince's wife. There may be other things involved."
Yan Hong sighed, "I know, this is the filth of a big family. The title of Marquis of Pingyang was given to Big Brother Ye, and the second son of his family has always been dissatisfied, and even the old lady has resentment. Ye Zhengchun's attack on Big Brother Ye may be a crooked idea jointly thought up by the mother and son.
But they don’t think about it, is it so easy to get the benefits of the King of Qi? Joining hands with him, wanting to get back the title of Marquis of Pingyang? Dream on! Just wait and see! Ye Zhengchun will definitely get nothing this time. "
