Chapter 231 Visitors from the Capital
After the two of them left the yard, they happened to meet An Yi who brought them the relevant information about the fourth master of the Jun family.
I was able to organize it in such a short time thanks to the pen in Su Yue's space, which wrote very quickly.
The two of them took a quick look and discovered that this fourth uncle not only worked for the main family of the Jun family, but also worked for a high-ranking official in the capital.
But I can’t find out which high-ranking official he is hanging out with.
But there are only a few court officials above the third rank, and if they are in a lower position, they don't need to curry favor with others. In the capital, Jun Taifu himself is the powerful figure.
"These four brothers are really smart, much smarter than the people in the Jun family's main family."
Su Yue sighed, no wonder they were able to acquire so much wealth.
"Many aristocratic families like the Jun family's branch would do this. They are just in case." Murong Li said.
"How do you know this? Have you recovered some of your memory?"
Murong Li nodded gently: "It has recovered partially, but some parts are still not recovered. It will be fully recovered in a while."
Su Yue was very surprised. This shouldn't be the case. Her spiritual spring water was not a panacea. It couldn't cure Murong Li's brain so quickly.
The injury was to the brain, not other parts of the body. Even if a nerve was injured, it would be difficult to recover, not to mention that one third of Murong Li's brain was corroded by the five poisons.
It's incredible.
Murong Li pinched her surprised face and asked, "Why, Yue'er is not happy that her husband's brain has recovered?"
"How could that be? I'm so happy, but I didn't expect the spiritual spring water to be so effective."
"The effect is really good. It seems to be much better than before. After drinking the spiritual spring water, I can basically remember something every day."
“That’s wonderful.”
Su Yue excitedly threw herself into Murong Li's arms. No wonder she felt that he was very gentle during this period. He was different from when she just lost her memory. He was cold and distant at that time.
Seeing that he seemed to treat her the same as before, she thought it was because they had been together for a long time and it was just a habit of his, but it turned out not to be the case.
It was so unexpected and so gratifying.
"Look how happy you are. Let's go to the next one."
"Uh-huh."
Su Yue raised her head and kissed Murong Li on the lips.
Murong Li pursed his lips. Now he had something important to do, otherwise...
The two of them soon arrived at the old man's house. The old man had several houses. Su Yue sighed that this man was really smart and had three burrows.
It took them an entire night to clear out all the valuables from the old man's house.
At dawn the next day, exclamations and screams from several houses broke the sky.
The entire Northwest City was in an uproar in an instant. The four uncles of the Jun family died suddenly on the same night. This was really big news. The people in the city were shocked.
As soon as Lord Fang arrived at the yamen, he received a report from the Jun family.
Lord Fang had already received the news from Murong Li and knew that this was the work of his master. He conducted a fake interrogation and then sent detectives to search the city before he began his investigation.
Of course, after investigation, it was found that the fourth uncle of the Jun family was killed by a group of bandits on Black Wind Mountain.
Afterwards, Lord Fang directly sent people to capture the leader, Hu Zi, and the bandits there, and even raided the bandit's lair. Not to mention, he also seized a lot of valuables.
Lord Fang was short of money, so he confiscated all the property.
In addition, Hu Zi was arrested, but several of his fellow detectives could not find him, so Lord Fang declared them fugitives and issued a wanted warrant.
Hu Zi became the main criminal and was thrown into prison by Lord Fang, where he was interrogated and tortured every day. It didn't take long for him to lose his life.
The county magistrate has the right to directly sentence such prisoners as long as a memorial is submitted.
Lord Fang wrote a memorial truthfully and sent it to the capital.
After Hu Zi's death, the other bandits in the village were also sentenced. Those who deserved to be imprisoned were sent to jail, and those who deserved to be beheaded were executed in the autumn.
The verdict of the case served as an explanation to the Jun family and finally calmed them down.
What can the Jun family do? The criminals have been brought to justice, and they have to admit it even if they don't want to. Although the Jun family knows that there are too many questions involved, they dare not appeal.
To put it bluntly, the bandit camp belongs to the Jun family, so the Jun family can only swallow their anger.
However, just as this matter was settled, another incident occurred. The gold, silver and treasures in the houses of the Third Master and the Fourth Master also disappeared inexplicably. Neither family dared to report the case. Most of the property was ill-gotten gains. If they reported the case and it was discovered that it was robbery, they would lose their heads.
So they had no choice but to swallow the loss.
After the Jun family members were dealt with, they could no longer cause any trouble, so Murong Li did not take action against anyone else.
They did not return to Yunwu Village. Just like before, there were people taking care of them, so nothing would go wrong.
They were waiting in the city for people from the capital.
By the way, develop their business.
As the Su family was expected to leave Northwest City, Su Yue did not let the eldest lady open the shop. Instead, she asked them to sell all the shops. If they could really return to the capital together, they could just buy some new shops there.
When the Su family was sentenced to confiscation of property, all their properties in the capital were turned over to the court. It could be said that the Su family had nothing left in the capital.
If they couldn't go back together this time, Su Yue believed that the Su family wouldn't be able to stay here for long. When they returned to the capital, they would have to get the Su family back no matter what.
Su Yue also took the opportunity to have Lord Fang secretly dispose of all the house deeds, land deeds, and shops that she had collected from the fourth master of the Jun family.
The silver notes obtained were later exchanged for silver.
Su Yue likes yellow and white things.
Of course, Lord Fang helped her, and she did not let Lord Fang down, leaving him a lot of food.
Lord Fang distributed the food for free to the people who had enough food.
This brought another wave of praise for Lord Fang. From then on, Lord Fang was directly upgraded to a great official in the hearts of the people and a true parent official in the eyes of the people of Northwest County.
It was early May, and the weather was already very hot. Su Yue got up early in the morning and was watering the flowers she had planted in the yard when Jiang Bo suddenly came to report, "Madam, the people from the capital have already entered the city."
"Well, go inform your master. I'll go make preparations."
Su Yue didn't stop what she was doing and said calmly, it's later than she thought.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Jiang Bo was very happy. He wished his master could return to the capital as soon as possible. What was the point of staying in this desolate place where nothing could be done?
Returning to the capital means that the master's status will be restored and he will no longer have to suffer here.
The master was originally a high and mighty prince, and he had to suffer so much here. Jiang Bo really felt sorry for his master. Now, he can finally enjoy his happiness after all the suffering.
