"Wu Linshun, do your wife and children know about this?"
Wu Linshun said, "How could I let them know what I did? It's enough for them to live a good life with me. Didn't you murder your elder brother without telling your wife and children?"
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Xu Liangxiao said, "Okay, I promise you, I will ensure that they and their child have enough food and clothing. You can take this matter to your grave. I will help your entire Wu family."
Wu Linshun curled his lips into a cold smile, "Boss, don't worry, no one will know about your plot to murder your eldest brother."
As soon as the words fell.
"You unfilial son, how dare you murder your elder brother." Xu Yulan helped Old Master Xu into the jail.
"Dad, don't listen to his nonsense." Xu Liangxiao was on guard against all odds and never expected Wu Linshun to set him up.
"Why should you help him take care of the old and the young if you haven't done anything?"
Xu Yulan always believed that his father died of a heart disease caused by excessive worry, but it turned out that it was his second uncle who killed him!
It's really ironic that she has to call her second uncle all the time when facing the murderer of her father.
Xu Yulan's eyes were filled with hatred. "We heard clearly that it was you who wanted Wu Linshun to take the murder of my father to his grave. You still want to quibble? You killed someone and you must pay with your life!"
Xu Yulan stepped forward quickly, smashed the teacup, picked up the shards and put them to Xu Liangxiao's neck, "You will die now!"
"Yu Lan! Don't!"
Old Master Xu's exclamation woke up Xu Yulan, who was blinded by hatred.
Things happened so fast that Lin Kun and others had no time to react. At this time, Xu Liangxiao's neck was already bleeding. When she saw her stop, she pretended not to see it. The man in front of her was the murderer of her father.
Wu Linshun quickly moved over to dodge the broken teacup in Xu Yulan's hand. "Miss, please don't be foolish. Yulanxuan is still waiting for you to take charge. I was foolish and eager to succeed. I deserve death. I deeply regret that if I hadn't been so impatient and let the master see my abilities, perhaps my situation would be different."
Wu Linshun felt unprecedented relief when he talked about these things today. He could finally let go of the secret he had carried for so many years.
"Yu Lan, Second Uncle is wrong."
When Xu Liangxiao was on the verge of death, he gave up the last bit of hope in his heart, and his mind was filled with his elder brother's eyes filled with despair, helplessness, fear, disappointment, and complex regret.
It was a look of unwillingness to close one's eyes in death, and it had been lingering in his mind all these years.
Xu Yulan said coldly: "Then you will die as an apology."
Su Ning'an frowned when he saw Xu Yulan let go of her hand. That bad guy was the murderer of Sister Xu's father. Why did they want to stop Sister Xu?
"Mom, let's go out." Su Ning'an couldn't figure it out and pulled Xiao Lingyu out of the cell.
Miao Xiantong hurriedly chased after her, rubbing his temples and saying tiredly, "Madam Su, the yamen has been overwhelmed with cases these past two days. They've piled up so many cases together that it's very complicated and I don't know where to start."
Xiao Lingyu stopped and said, "Master Miao, I've looked through the Beiyi laws. They have corresponding sentencing for all cases, big or small. Master Miao, please handle the case impartially according to the normal Beiyi laws. I will definitely give fair and just judgments to all cases, big or small. By the way, today I have to buy the bamboo forest and the valley from the county government..."
Half an incense stick later, Xiao Lingyu spent 1,280 taels in exchange for two land deeds, sat in the carriage surrounded by various potted flowers, and left the county government office.
Shortly after Xiao Lingyu left, Miao Xiantong brought Xu Liangxiao and Wu Linshun to trial.
Before Miao Xiantong could bring down the gavel, Xu Yulan presented a thick stack of letters and account books to Miao Xiantong's desk.
These are the evidences collected by Xu Yulan about Xu Liangxiao bribing court officials and tax evasion.
Xu Yulan had previously been concerned about her grandfather, not wanting him to see the conflict between uncle and nephew in his later years, and it was also for the reputation of the Xu family.
She could get Yu Lanxuan back with the magic vegetable, so she had no intention of using these evidences to get Yu Lanxuan back.
Now that she knew the truth about her father's death, she no longer cared about those nonsense.
She must avenge her father, make him pay with his life, and not let him have any chance of survival.
When Old Master Xu saw his eldest granddaughter taking out these evidences, thinking that she was going to destroy the second branch, he thought it was all his fault and fainted.
Xu Liangxiao disregarded the lives of others and plotted to murder his elder brother with serious circumstances. In addition, he bribed court officials and evaded taxes, each of which was a capital crime. He was sentenced to death for multiple cases and reported to the court for execution in the autumn. The property of the second wife was confiscated, and Yulanxuan was returned to Xu Yulan by the government.
Wu Linshun was rewarded for his revelation and according to the laws of Beiyi, his sentence was commuted to life exile, and he was not allowed to return to his hometown. At the same time, his illegal gains were confiscated.
Wu Qingshan, who was waiting outside the court, felt relieved. "Huaiyuan, we should go back."
Wu Linshun looked back at Wu Qingshan's receding figure, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red...
Xiao Lingyu wanted to make perfume, so he went to a porcelain shop and bought ten small milky white ceramic bottles with lids, a large ceramic jar, a milky white ceramic medicine mortar, some gauze, etc. He also went to a winery and bought a large jar of high-proof liquor.
"Boss, now we have everything we need, we can go back."
"Oh, okay." Su Ning'an nodded unenthusiastically and stuffed all the items into the backpack stacked together on the front of the car.
"Boss." Xiao Lingyu saw that Su Ning'an was unhappy and asked with concern: "Do you have something to ask me?"
Su Ning'an checked the wagon tied to the back of the carriage and glanced at the passers-by. "Mother, I'll talk to you after we leave the city."
When they got outside the city, Su Ning'an said, "Mother, if we hadn't come to the government office today, we wouldn't have known that the villain who bullied Sister Xu and stole Yu Lanxuan was actually the murderer of Sister Xu's father. With the murderer right in front of us, why can't Sister Xu take action to avenge her father herself?"
