Chapter 171:
It's a letter from Mrs. Bai.
He also specially invited her to the capital to watch the court session together.
Wen Yan had wanted to kill Sun Rulan for a long time.
Now that she could see him hit rock bottom with her own eyes, how could she miss it?
The next morning.
Wen Yan rushed to the capital before dawn.
As soon as she entered the city, she met Meng Chifei who came to pick her up.
Meng Chifei pulled Wen Yan into the carriage and said, "I wanted to tell you in person, but my mother said that I can't go far away until the case is closed."
Wen Yan said, "Mother-in-law is right. That night, things got so serious that the capital has been full of rumors about you these past few days. It's right to stay out of the spotlight."
Meng Chifei snorted: "As soon as my mother came back, you started to be partial to her."
Wen Yan pursed her lips and chuckled.
The carriage drove towards Jingzhao Prefecture.
It is the exact time of Si.
Jingzhao Prefecture opened a court to try the case of Sun Rulan.
The Meng family did not let Meng Chifei come forward, but sent the housekeeper as a representative.
In fact, after a few days of investigation, the case has already been solved.
At first, Sun Rulan still refused to admit it.
He insisted that the Meng family was powerful.
She wanted to break off the engagement but didn't want to be branded as heartless and disloyal, so she set a trap to frame him.
Even Hongying, who was bribed and used by him, became evidence for him to turn the tables.
Meng Chifei was so angry that she laughed outside the court. If he hadn't been in court, she would have rushed up and beaten him up.
In the end, it was A Shijian's testimony that hammered him to death.
The housekeeper said angrily, "You're not going to say that the swordsman A Shijian, who has followed you for five years, has also been bribed by the Meng family!"
Sun Rulan's face turned pale, and this was irrefutable.
The prefect immediately ordered him to cancel his engagement with Meng Chifei.
Then he asked the housekeeper whether he wanted to hold Sun Rulan accountable for the frame-up.
Sun Rulan was terrified.
If other charges are really pursued.
He would definitely go to jail and be punished.
Then his fame and future would be ruined.
He has worked hard for so many years, how could it be ruined just because of a woman?
As long as the Meng family does not pursue charges, this matter can be considered a family matter.
His fame and career may be frustrated, but he still has a chance to turn things around.
He knew that he was no match for the powerful, and the Meng family valued false friendship and confidence the most.
As long as I act as if I am truly repentant and bring my grandfather up, they will definitely soften their hearts!
He immediately knelt down and begged the housekeeper: "Please spare me this time if you can save you!
I did this wrong thing because I was instigated by a villain.
Just for the sake of the friendship between General Meng and my grandfather, please give me a chance to reform!
From now on, I will be strict with myself and do more good deeds."
Sun Rulan banged his head on the ground, making a loud bang.
Blood soon appeared.
A bloodstain was left on the blue brick.
The housekeeper dodged and refused his courtesy: "My wife said that as long as you sincerely repent, she will give him another chance to reform.
Just cancel the engagement, and the other crimes will not be pursued."
No one expected that the Meng family would be so "generous".
Some people praised the Meng family for having the demeanor of a noble family, while others said they were just seeking fame.
In short, there are all kinds of opinions.
Sun Rulan, however, felt like he was reborn. He got up and walked outside.
In the past, he was the one in power, sitting in the mirror of the throne, and could decide life and death with just one word.
Now, the location has shifted.
He wanted to escape far away.
He covered his face with his clothes and hurried away.
At the door, he passed by Wen Yan and Meng Chifei in the crowd.
He recognized them both at a glance.
Thinking about how my current predicament was caused by them.
He was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Just a woman.
Not only did she not behave like a humble woman in front of a man, she even dared to plot against him.
He really regretted why he agreed to this marriage in the first place.
Why not marry him while Grandpa is still in mourning and train him to be obedient since childhood?
Instead, the Meng family indulged her and made her lawless!
But it doesn't matter.
Once he gets through this predicament, he will definitely come back to settle the score with them!
He will repay Meng Chifei tenfold and a hundredfold for all the suffering and humiliation he has suffered.
Even if it is the entire Meng family, he will destroy it.
His resentful eyes swept across the two of them, then he turned around and hurried away.
He had not gone far.
Just passed by a family.
The backbone of the family was a man in his fifties or sixties. He had dark skin and walked with a limp.
He was accompanied by an old woman, a woman and three children.
The whole family was dressed in rags and had pale faces and thin muscles.
The old man caught the man and asked, "Do you know how to get to the government office to file a complaint?"
The man pointed to a place not far away and said, "Yes, that is the Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen, a place where cases are tried."
When Sun Rulan heard his question, she felt that it sounded familiar.
I subconsciously looked back at them.
He just felt that the old man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his name for a moment.
The old man also smelled the road, and immediately took out a roll of paper, quickly ran to the yamen, knelt down, and shouted: "I am wronged! The great judge must judge for me!"
The old man's kneeling posture and his voice crying out for injustice instantly brought back some memories for Sun Rulan.
He immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Subconsciously, I wanted to go up and cover the old man's mouth.
But passers-by were attracted by his cry of injustice and looked over here.
He was terrified.
Run away.
The Jingzhao Prefecture yamen runner came out to take the complaint: "Who are you suing?"
The old man shouted, "I want to rely on Sun Rulan, the former Pingxian County Magistrate, to steal my wealth and kill my two sons!"
Wen Yan reminded from the side: "The Sun Rulan who was just released was once the county magistrate of Ping County.
If you don't catch him, he might escape from Beijing."
The two yamen runners looked at each other and shouted, "Sun Rulan, stop!"
Sun Rulan finally ran out.
How could I possibly go back?
Not only did he not stop, he ran even faster.
The two yamen runners were sweating profusely from anxiety.
He also ran out to chase after him.
It seemed that the two yamen runners were about to catch up with him.
Wen Yan shouted, "Anyone who helps catch him will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."
She had just finished speaking.
Someone stepped forward and tripped him.
Sun Rulan fell to the ground with a thud.
Two people immediately came forward to help and held the man down.
Sun Rulan, who had just thought he could escape, was now pinned to the ground and had no chance of escape.
Sun Rulan was quickly brought back.
As he passed by Wen Yan, he glared at her viciously: "Just wait, I'm not done with you. One day I'm going to kill you!"
Wen Yan was like a weak and helpless little white rabbit. She screamed in fear and slapped Sun Rulan directly.
There was a crisp sound of "pop".
A clear slap mark immediately appeared on Sun Rulan's face.
Everyone was stunned.
Then everyone burst into laughter.
Wen Yan apologized with a look of shame.
