Chapter 491 Touching the bottom line
This search lasted the entire night.
People from the Dali Temple and the Supervisory Council searched out all the books in the marquis's mansion and placed them in the courtyard.
Several officials from the Supervisory Council were responsible for searching through the books one by one.
They are responsible for supervision and are very familiar with banned books.
There are fifty-six banned books in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which are divided into two categories. The upper category contains twenty-one books that mislead the people and disrupt the government, while the lower category contains thirty-five books that are erotic.
Possessing a banned book is punishable by death.
Possessing a banned book of inferior quality will result in imprisonment.
No matter what, your future will be ruined and you will not be able to turn things around.
The senior officials in the Supervisory Office read each book carefully, not daring to be negligent.
The people from the Marquis' Mansion were also waiting in the yard and did not sleep all night.
The adults finished reading the entire book the next morning.
Several people reported the results to the Censor.
"Your Excellency, we have read every one of them and none of them are banned."
Gu Huainian also heard the result. He had a blank expression on his face, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The Supervisory Censor looked at Gu Huainian and said, "Master Gu, we have checked the entire mansion and it is clear that there are no banned books in the mansion."
Gu Huainian nodded.
"No one dares to joke about banned books," the Censor said. It was precisely because of this that they took the complaint so seriously. "This complainant has sinister intentions. Lord Gu, please judge the case according to the law."
"Your Excellency the Censor is absolutely right."
The people from the Dali Temple and the Supervisory Council left the Marquis' Mansion.
Zhao Shu had been sending people to keep an eye on the Marquis' Mansion, so he knew the progress of the case very well.
When the people from the Dali Temple and the Supervisory Council went to the Marquis's mansion, he was very excited. Because soon, the banned books would be found in the mansion. The child would be finished, and the Marquis's mansion would also be implicated. Wu Yu's career would also be affected!
This move will deal a heavy blow to Wu Yu and Tang Li.
That way, I can win back a point.
However, he never expected that the result would be like this.
Didn’t find it?
How is that possible?
Wei Ziyi clearly took the banned book back!
What went wrong?!
…
Marquis' Mansion.
Everyone was nervous for most of the day, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the people from the Dali Temple and the Supervisory Council left.
Tang Li and Wei Qing looked at each other.
Both of them had not slept all night and their faces were tired.
Why weren’t the banned books found?
Because last night, Tangli had a dream when he was taking a nap.
She dreamed that people from the Dali Temple entered the Marquis's mansion, turned it upside down, and then found a banned book in Erbao's study.
Erbao was thrown into jail for secretly possessing banned books.
That banned book was a top-grade banned book, and according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the perpetrator should be sentenced to death.
Faced with this result, Tang Li was terrified.
She simply couldn't accept Erbao suffering even the slightest harm, let alone beheading.
Tangli woke up from his dream, feeling palpitations at first, and then relieved.
Fortunately it was a dream.
The things in the dream have not happened yet.
There is still time to change everything.
So Tang Li quickly found the banned book from Ziyi's study and burned it.
Because it was destroyed in time, the Dali Temple and the Censorate were naturally unable to search for the banned book, so it escaped disaster.
fortunately.
Tang Li's gaze fell on Wei Ziyi.
The young boy stood there with his head down and his hands hanging at his sides, looking very dejected.
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue were talking to him, but he didn't say a word.
Tangli walked over.
"Zi'ang, Xu Jue, go and rest. I'll talk to Ziyi."
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue were still a little worried, but their mother was there and she would definitely comfort Ziyi, so they turned around and went back to their room.
Tang Li pulled Wei Ziyi to the study and closed the door.
Wei Ziyi still stood there, head down, motionless.
Tang Li bent down to look at him and saw that his eyes were red and his face was full of guilt.
"Erbao." Tangli called.
Wei Ziyi didn't dare to look up.
"Mom, I'm sorry."
Even though the crisis was resolved and the uneasiness in his heart subsided, he still felt a deep sense of guilt.
It was all because of his stupidity and trusting others so easily that he almost got his entire family into trouble.
Wei Ziyi felt very guilty and could not forgive himself.
"Erbao, you did do something wrong in this matter. You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others." Tang Li said.
Wei Ziyi nodded.
He considered Jiang Ping a friend, but he never expected Jiang Ping to harm him like this...
He hated Jiang Ping, and hated himself even more!
It's all his fault!
"But this cannot be entirely blamed on you. Jiang Ping is just a student. How could he have the ability to get such a banned book? There must be someone behind the scenes, and the other party's target is not you, but your father and me." Tang Li said.
This kind of thing is actually hard to prevent.
No matter how smart Ziyi was, how could he have imagined that the book given to him by his classmate would contain banned books? The classmate he thought was a good friend would actually want him dead.
"That's my fault too. I didn't know the right people well enough and gave the bad guys a chance." Wei Ziyi said in a muffled voice.
Tangli put his arm around his shoulders.
"Erbao, everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes, making mistakes is not a bad thing."
"If you make a mistake, don't dwell on the guilt. Guilt is useless. The most important thing is to learn from your mistakes and avoid making similar mistakes, okay?" Tang Li said softly.
Wei Ziyi raised his head, his eyes red, looked at Tang Li, and nodded.
He should not trust people easily in the future. Before making friends, he should first consider the person's character and whether they are worth making friends with. He should not trust others completely and without any vigilance just because they share the same interests as him or can chat with him!
"If you encounter something like this again, and step into a bad person's trap, your first reaction shouldn't be regret and annoyance, but thinking about how to solve the problem. Don't give up until you're in a desperate situation, understand? Even in a desperate situation, you can still survive."
Tangli said.
Wei Ziyi continued to nod.
Yes, he can't just feel guilty, but he should think of ways to solve the problem.
Just like this case, even if the banned book was found, he was wrongly accused.
He could tell this to the person investigating the case, and then think about whether there are any witnesses and evidence to prove that he was framed.
If you behave uprightly and sit properly, you won't be afraid of being investigated.
When bad people do bad things, they always leave traces.
His mother's words made him suddenly enlightened.
"If you encounter something that you can't solve, your parents are here. They will always support you." Tang Li said.
Wei Ziyi looked at Tang Li, his eyes flashing, and he was very moved.
"Everything is okay. Don't be sad, okay? Otherwise your mother will be heartbroken." Tang Li said softly.
Wei Ziyi nodded heavily.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."
"Okay, then go to sleep." Tang Li said.
Wei Ziyi left the study and went back to the bedroom.
Tangli was sitting in the study.
After a while, the door opened and Wei Qing walked in hurriedly.
"How's that kid Ziyi?" Wei Qing asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I let him go to sleep." Tang Li said.
Wei Qing walked over, sat down beside her, and then took her into his arms.
Tang Li saw that he was sweating all over, so he wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief.
"What's wrong?" Tang Li asked.
Last night, after Tang Li had that dream, the two of them first dealt with the book and asked Zi Yi about the relevant situation. After knowing that the book was given to him by his classmate Jiang Ping, Wei Qing immediately sent someone to find Jiang Ping because he was a key person.
By following this person, we can find the mastermind behind the scenes.
When the people sent by Wei Qing arrived, Jiang Ping had already disappeared from the Dali Temple.
We searched all night but couldn't find the person. Just now, the secret guard sent a message saying that he was found in the moat.
Wei Qing rushed to the moat.
People from the Dali Temple have already rescued the person.
The man was swollen and dead.
"The person is already dead. I was one step too late." Wei Qing said.
The other party was ruthless and did not leave any evidence.
"Husband, who do you think is responsible for this?" Tang Li asked.
"Zhao Shu." Wei Qing said.
"Zhao Shu..." Tang Li read the name with gritted teeth.
Before, when they returned to Beijing from Yizhou, Zhao Shu sent people to intercept and kill them.
After failing to kill him, he now wants to attack the child...
Children are her bottom line!
This time, Zhao Shu really touched her bottom line.
A cold light flashed in Tangli's eyes.
This time, we can't just let it go like this!
