Chapter 156: Runaway

Jiang Yun died, drowning like Chunyue.

With the testimony of Chunyue's parents and Lin Rui, the case was quickly closed.

Jiang Shao and his wife were resentful of the loss of their only daughter, and they went to the door of Jiang's house to make a scene. They even carried Jiang Yun's coffin to the door of Jiang's house, attracting passers-by to point and talk.

Jiang Shao and his wife took the opportunity to confuse right and wrong, saying that Jiang's father was ungrateful and ungrateful, and that Jiang Shu seduced Lin Rui and so on.

Jiang Shu knew that he couldn't explain the truth to them, so he directly asked Leng Xing to go to the government office to invite Lord He.

Lord He didn't dare to neglect it and took people to Jiang's house as quickly as possible.

"What are you doing? You are gathering in the streets and houses to cause trouble, slandering and insulting others. According to the law, you will be detained for seven days and given fifteen strokes of the cane."

Lord He shouted, and the runners behind him quickly surrounded Jiang Shao and his wife.

Seeing the runners, Jiang Shao and his wife were a little scared. But thinking of Jiang Yun's tragic death, they gritted their teeth and went out again.

"Sir, you are the parent official of the people. You must be observant and not be deceived by the villains."

Lord He was so anxious about Jiang Yun's case that he suffered a lot and almost lost his job. He couldn't help but sneer when he heard what Jiang Shao and his wife said.

"Jiang Yun hired a murderer to murder a maid and silence her. There is solid evidence, and your son-in-law has testified in person. If you still don't accept it, you can go to the government office or the Dali Temple to complain. Running to the victim's house to make trouble is obviously knowing that you are in the wrong and making random accusations."

"Come on, take them down!"

Lord He waved his hand, and the yamen runners immediately stepped forward to arrest them.

Jiang Shao and his wife panicked. Seeing that the crowd of onlookers cast contemptuous eyes at them, no one spoke for them, so they had to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"My Lord, please forgive me. I beg you to show mercy. My daughter hasn't been buried yet."

"If I had known this would happen, why did I do it!" Lord He ignored him.

At this time, Leng Xing came to Lord He and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Lord He said in a cold voice: "Miss Jiang, please ask me for mercy for the sake of our relationship. I will give you two days to take care of Jiang Yun's funeral. The officials will come to arrest her in two days."

Jiang Shao and his wife breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but they became furious at the end.

Jiang Shu killed Jiang Yun and took away their business, and now he is pretending to be merciful. There were

thousands of resentments in their hearts, but Jiang Shao and his wife did not dare to say it out loud, and could only keep it in their hearts.

Now they have seen clearly that Jiang Shu has the government behind him, and they can't fight him at all.

Under the threat of Lord He and the officials, Jiang Shao and his wife ordered the servants to carry Jiang Yun away, and walked away with the coffin in disgrace.

Lin Rui's family was waiting at home, and when they saw them coming back, they immediately went to greet them.

When the two families were discussing the marriage, Jiang Shaohe and his wife had only one daughter, Jiang Yun, and they could not bear to see her suffer in the Lin family, so they invited Lin Rui to live with them. After the marriage, Lin Rui's parents also moved to Jiang Shaohe's house.

The two families were originally relatives, and they married their children to be in-laws. Although there were some unpleasantness, they still got along well.

But after Lin Rui testified in court and accused Jiang Yun of crimes, the two families completely broke up.

Jiang Shaohe and his wife were upset in Jiang's house, and when they saw their family at this time, they were immediately furious.

"You are a heartless thing." Jiang Shaohe kicked Lin Rui hard.

Lin Rui knew he was guilty, so he swallowed his anger and said, "I was forced to do it. If I didn't testify, they would have put me in jail."

Jiang Yun was already dead, and Chunyue's parents testified. Lord He and the other yamen runners had heard it with their own ears. He couldn't erase Jiang Yun's crime no matter what he did, so he might as well tell the truth to save himself.

Besides, Jiang Yun killed Chunyue and often insulted him, so he deserved to die.

Lin's father and mother also didn't think their son was wrong, and they pleaded with him: "Sister, Shaohe, things have come to this, please accept my condolences. Rui'er was also forced to do so, don't worry, Rui'er will treat you as his own parents in the future."

"He is filial to us? It's more like plotting our property, don't think I don't know what you are up to." Jiang Shaohe snorted coldly, having seen through the Lin family's thoughts.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Jiang Shaohe's family is not as big as before, it is several times better than the Lin family.

Lin's father and mother's eyes flickered, and they made a guilty excuse: "Shaohe, how could you think so? Rui'er is sincere."

Jiang Shaohe didn't buy it: "Sincerely? If he swears not to marry for the rest of his life, I will believe him."

"This..." Lin's father and mother looked embarrassed.

Everything else is easy to say, but the incense of the Lin family must not be cut off! Besides, how could Lin Rui not marry when he is so young.

"Why? Can't do it? Then get out of here." Jiang Shaohe called the servants and drove them out.

"Sister, sister..." Lin's mother looked at Jiang Li, crying out in grief, trying to awaken the sisterly affection.

But Jiang Li lost her beloved daughter, and Lin Rui personally testified in court, so that Jiang Yun was also charged with murder after her death and was despised by others. She had already hated them to the bone, so how could there be any sisterly affection.

"Throw all their stuff out and don't dirty my house." Jiang Li gritted her teeth and ordered the maid.

Lin Rui's family was forced out of the house, and their bedding, clothes and other things were thrown all over the floor. They were in a mess.

"What should we do?" Lin's mother fell to the ground and cried anxiously.

The house they lived in before had been sold long ago, and now they were kicked out and had nowhere to go.

Lin's father rummaged through a pile of miscellaneous items and found an old wooden box. He held it in his arms as if it were a treasure.

Fortunately, the silver he had saved was not discovered and was thrown out with it.

He quietly opened the wooden box and took a look. After confirming that the silver inside was still there, Lin's father breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's enough, there's no point in crying, hurry up and pack your things and find a place to stay."

Lin Rui also knew that it was useless to say anything at this point, so he silently picked up the items on the ground and made other plans.

Seeing that the father and son were packing their things, Lin's mother, who was crying heartbroken, could only accept the reality, wiped her tears and packed up with them.

After driving Lin Rui's family away, Jiang's mother sat weakly beside Jiang Yun's coffin, looking sad: "It's hot in summer, let's quickly choose a place to bury Yun'er."

If we put it down any longer, it will stink.

Jiang Shaohe said absent-mindedly: "You take care of this matter, I'm going to go out for a while."

"What are you doing?" Jiang Li didn't understand. What could be more important than burying Jiang Yun right now?

Jiang Shaohe frowned and said, "You're selling the shop and running away. Are you really waiting for the police to come and catch you?"

Jiang Li didn't understand. It was just a seven-day detention and fifteen-stroke caning. Their lives were not at stake. Why run away?

But Jiang Shaohe knew that what he and Jiang Shaohua had done would be exposed sooner or later. It would be better to leave Shangjing before they were found out.

The world is so big. As long as they run far enough and keep a low profile, they will definitely be able to escape.

Jiang Li looked confused, but Jiang Shaohe didn't explain too much. He said a few words and left in a hurry.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Yu Zheng was getting busier and busier.

She had to go to Zhaojue Temple every now and then to discuss Buddhism and listen to Buddhist scriptures, and she had to interrogate the mountain bandits brought back by Zhou Boxu, and she had to copy Buddhist scriptures every night before going to bed.

On this day, the guards that Jiang Shu sent out to search for clues came back and told Jiang Shu that the villagers around had seen mountain bandits.

They also found traces of felled trees on the top of the landslide.

When Jiang Shu heard this, she immediately remembered the landslide she and Yu Zheng encountered.

How could it be such a coincidence?
