First, last night Sun Zhuohua led his men into Prime Minister Lin's residence, intending to search for the so-called evidence. However, after searching through all the boxes and cabinets, they did not find any evidence.
At that time, Sun Zhuohua's anger was like ignited gunpowder, and he was out of control. In a fit of uncontrolled rage, he unexpectedly pushed down Lin Siye's wife who came to check on the situation.
With this push, Lin Siye's wife Xiao Lingzhu hit her head on a stone pillar nearby. She bled profusely and died from the excessive bleeding.
Her daughter Lin Luoyi witnessed her mother's death and went crazy due to the shock. In order to prevent her from being saddened by the scene, the Lin family sent her to the farm for recuperation.
As for the truth behind all this, only the Lin family knows it.
The second major event is that the mastermind behind the recent Guanggucheng military secret leak, Wanhetang poison case and the girl's disappearance case that shocked the capital was actually Sun Zhuohua. This once powerful man has now become a sinner despised by everyone.
With the joint efforts of Shang Yuanshan, Lin Jingzhou and Liu Quan, after careful investigation and unremitting efforts, they finally brought Sun Zhuohua to justice and sought justice for the victim.
The third major event was that Sun Zhuohua finally broke down during the interrogation last night, confessed to his crimes, and signed his name on the confession letter.
And in his mansion, conclusive evidence was found to prove his guilt.
However, last night an unidentified gangster, unable to tolerate Sun Zhuohua's behavior of selling out his country for personal gain, sneaked into the Dali Temple and killed Sun Zhuohua with a heart full of anger.
The people of the capital discussed these events after dinner, and they felt deep sympathy for Prime Minister Lin's experience.
Prime Minister Lin was not only framed, but also lost his second daughter-in-law, which was undoubtedly a great blow to him. Everyone went to Prime Minister Lin's mansion to express their condolences to Xiao Lingzhu.
At the same time, Eunuch Li came to General Shang's mansion with the emperor's edict and a plaque covered with red cloth.
Shang Yuanshan and his family went to the mansion to receive the order.
Eunuch Li's joy was beyond words.
"The Emperor decrees, in compliance with the Will of Heaven." Eunuch Li's voice was solemn and loud, as if it could penetrate the clouds and reach the ears of heaven.
"General of the Cavalry has solved the Wanhetang case and arrested the man behind the Wanhetang. I will fulfill the agreement made that day and confer Shang Yuanshan the title of Marquis of Zhenguo, and retain his position as General of the Cavalry, and continue to command the 100,000-man army." This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present. Shang Yuanshan's achievements were recognized by the emperor, and his bravery and wisdom received the highest praise.
"And reward you with a plaque written by me personally for the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion and a thousand taels of gold..." Eunuch Li continued to read the imperial edict. Each reward seemed particularly precious. It not only represented Emperor Yuan Ming's trust in Shang Yuanshan, but also symbolized the great contribution he had made to the country.
As Eunuch Li's voice fell, Shang Yuanshan took the imperial edict, and the people on the side cheered.
Shang Yuanshan stood holding the imperial edict, waiting for Eunuch Li to bring people to replace the plaque written by the emperor himself.
Shang Yuanshan personally took the red cloth.
Then people on the street knelt down one after another.
"Meet the Marquis of Zhenguo."
Shang Yuanshan knew that the people loved him, so he stepped forward and helped up the person in front of him.
"Everyone, get up quickly."
The news that Shang Yuanshan was conferred the title of Marquis of Zhenguo spread in the capital. In the minds of those officials, this was already an established fact. They had all heard about the agreement between Emperor Yuan Ming and Shang Yuanshan.
But they were greatly shocked to learn that the emperor did not use the opportunity of conferring the title of nobility to take back Shang Yuanshan's military power.
But no matter how much they objected, it was of no use. They could not make Emperor Yuan Ming withdraw his order, and Shang Yuanshan had leverage over many people, so they dared not say anything more.
Shang Yuanshan thus became the first marquis of Xiling Kingdom with military power.
Shang Wanning breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Sun Zhuohua had died last night.
He went to his father's spirit tablet early in the morning and kowtowed several times.
Li didn't know what was going on. All she knew was that the big tree that her house had just leaned against had fallen down, and she was very sad.
Li kept muttering in Shang Wanning's ear.
Shang Wanning said coldly, "Mother, don't mention the fact that Sun Zhuohua helped us. Our family has no relationship with Shangshu Sun."
Li was frightened by Shang Wanning's appearance, but she still nodded vigorously. "Okay, I understand."
Soon a servant ran in. "Madam, the emperor has made the general the Marquis of Zhenguo, and he has retained the title of General of the Cavalry and continues to command an army of 100,000."
"What?" Shang Wanning's face was full of shock. He didn't expect that the emperor did not take the opportunity to take back the military power.
Li slapped her thigh in regret. If she had known this would happen, she would never have separated from Shang Yuanshan.
It would be great if their family could still suck blood from Shang Yuanshan.
Thinking of this, Li was about to rush to the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion, but was stopped by Shang Wanning.
"Mother, you can't go. Shang Yuanshan has just been conferred the title of marquis. If we go there, we will surely be spurned and insulted by the people again."
"My son, I am Shang Yuanshan's mother. How dare he deny me?"
"But it was us who proposed to sever the relationship and split the family when he was in danger."
Thinking of this, Li sat down on the chair.
"Mother, we still have to plan for the long term."
Li nodded. "Okay, mother will listen to you."
At the Lin family's farm outside the capital, Lin Jingjun looked at the daughter he had raised carefully over the years. Although he was angry and upset when he found out that she was not his biological daughter.
But he later came to terms with it. Lin Luoyi was just an innocent child and she had no choice about her own life experience.
But just last night, he really felt how stupid he was before.
Last night, the outcome was already decided. Prime Minister Lin originally wanted to expose Li Linghan's affairs to the public, but he never expected that Prime Minister Li would be so cruel as to kill his own son.
But Lin Jingjun was kind enough to tell Xiao Lingzhu the truth. When she learned that Li Linghan had been using her, she went crazy. After learning that Li Linghan had died in broad daylight, she chose to commit suicide by hitting her head against a pillar.
He proposed to his father that they send Lin Luoyi away and find her a good family to marry in Sucheng, thus fulfilling the father-daughter relationship over the years.
Prime Minister Lin also agreed, but he didn't expect Lin Luoyi to rush over with a knife and stab him.
Lin Jingjun looked at the knife in Lin Luoyi's hand, but he did not dodge.
"Second brother." Lin Jingfan rushed forward and kicked Lin Luoyi away.
Lin Luoyi fell heavily to the ground. "I want you to die. I want you to die."
Lin Luoyi's eyes were bloodshot at this time, and she shouted angrily: "Why don't you want me to marry Shang Zicheng? That's the path my father paved for me.
You are all bad people. You killed my father, you killed my mother, and now you have cut off my path. You even want to marry me off casually. You are so cruel. "
