Chapter 590: The Fraud Case is Settled
The divorced women will no longer be implicated.
Married daughters are also not subject to prosecution.
However, several men of the Cui family had very good relationships with their wives. They did not know what the Cui family would face next. They openly agreed to the Mingyi County Lord's request to give their wives divorce letters, but secretly tore up the letters.
The unmarried daughters, the sons and grandchildren of the Cui family, and the women who had not yet divorced could not escape the fate of exile.
Fortunately, the Dunguo Prefecture was only implicated, and the destination of exile was not too harsh and cold.
In addition, Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye specially sent two people to protect them secretly, so they did not suffer too much.
The other side.
When the Ministry of Justice sent people to capture Cui Yi and others who were returning to Luoqing County, they unexpectedly discovered that Cui Yi and others were kidnapped by bandits on the mountain road leading to Luoqing County.
According to the local county magistrate,
There are many mountains near Luoqing County, and the mountains are continuous, where a group of vicious bandits are entrenched.
Bandits often hijacked wealthy businessmen and officials passing through.
The county government has suppressed bandits many times, but because the mountains are too large, the mountain roads are very difficult to walk on, wild beasts roam the mountains, and the places where the bandits are entrenched are easy to defend but difficult to attack, so each suppression campaign ended in failure.
This group of bandits targeted the Cui family, who were obviously wealthy and powerful, and attacked them 30 kilometers away from Luoqing County.
When the county magistrate learned that the Cui family in Dunguo Prefecture had been robbed, he was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters.
That is the Cui family, one of the eight great aristocratic families.
If the higher-ups investigate, he won't be able to afford the compensation even if his house is demolished.
Just when he was about to ask the garrison troops for help in suppressing the bandits, something happened to the Cui family.
The blisters in the county magistrate's mouth did not go away but became more severe, and no amount of heat-reducing tea he drank could help.
It was such a coincidence that the Cui family was robbed by bandits at the moment of trouble.
He was afraid that his superiors would suspect that he was deliberately covering up a crime.
In order to keep his official position, he tried his best to prove that it was really bandits who robbed the Cui family.
The news soon reached Shangjing.
After the emperor learned about this, he did not pursue the matter, nor did he have any intention of suppressing the bandits.
His goal has been achieved.
Among the eight great aristocratic families, the Cui family has been removed from the list.
Even if Cui Yi and others were alive, they could only live as fugitives.
All under heaven belongs to the king.
If they were not dead, they would be caught sooner or later.
If they died, he wouldn't have to do it again.
The massive cheating case in the Autumn Examination lasted until mid-October before it finally came to an end.
In October, the weather turned completely cold.
Especially in the morning and evening, you need to wear thin cotton clothes.
Tanyue Courtyard.
Xie Yingmian was taking Ji Yunshu's pulse.
"The fetus is in good condition and its pulse is stable."
She looked at Ji Yunshu's obviously protruding belly and sighed, "Your belly is getting bigger and bigger."
Ji Yunshu had long passed the stage where he would vomit everything he ate.
On the contrary, she now has a big appetite.
In addition, there were always kind people preparing various foods for her, so she not only did not lose weight after being busy these days, but she even gained a lot of weight.
Her appetite was developed by kind people.
She shoveled the various snacks Xie Yingmian had prepared for her into her mouth.
She showed off and sighed: "You really understand the emperor."
"Since the Autumn Examination cheating case ended, I have submitted my resignation three times, and each time it was rejected by the emperor."
"The emperor even told me in a roundabout way that my qualifications were too inadequate to be the Dali Temple Minister, and asked me to stay in the position of Dali Temple Junior Minister."
"Third time is better than last time. If I submit my resignation again, he'll probably investigate me."
Ji Yunshu felt depressed when talking about this.
Her resignation attempt failed, and she could only stay in Shangjing.
As for the second option, faking her own death and leaving Shangjing, she was still considering it.
"By the way, after the Autumn Examination cheating case was concluded, Fang Chenjing has reunited with Shi Yuqing and Fang Chensheng."
"Fang Chenjing was very excited when he learned that Shi Yuqing was the granddaughter of the former Minister of War, Feng Yankai."
"He said that many years ago, the Fang family was slandered by someone with powerful backgrounds. All the male members of the family were imprisoned and soon beheaded. When the Fang family was at their wit's end, the governor happened to arrive for an inspection."
"The governor at the time was Feng Yankai. My grandmother stopped the sedan chair and complained, prepared to be beaten to death."
"Lord Feng accepted his grandmother's petition and had her taken to the government office to be cleaned and groomed."
"Later, Lord Feng cleared the Fang family's name, executed the local tyrannical official, and eradicated the entire network of his influence."
"Fang Chenjing said that if it weren't for Lord Feng, the Fang family would have been extinct during his grandfather's generation."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "This is not a coincidence. The Feng family is the benefactor of the Fang family. Many years later, the Fang family rescued Master Feng's granddaughter."
Xie Yingmian didn't expect there would be such a little episode.
The Fang family and the Feng family were also heading in two directions.
"I came here for another matter," Ji Yunshu said, "Shi Yuqing said she wanted to return to her ancestral home."
"She also wanted to bury her mother's remains with her father's."
"Shi Yuqing said her mother left a last wish before her death, asking not to bury her with her adoptive father. At the time, Shi Yuqing simply thought her mother hated her adoptive father and never considered there was another reason."
"Her idea was to let her mother's soul return to her hometown."
Xie Yingmian frowned slightly.
It is reasonable for Shi Yuqing to want to return to her ancestral home.
The trouble is, Feng Qing is officially the daughter of the Feng family.
Ji Yunshu said, "Shi Yuqing's attitude is very firm."
"She wants to return to her roots."
"She asked me to come to Prince Ling's Mansion because she wanted to contact Miss Feng Qing through the connections of Prince Ling's Mansion."
Ji Yunshu took out a letter: "And this."
