Chapter 373 The Old Marquis Returns



Old man Pang was also a sixth-rank official before. He did these ridiculous things after retiring. If you say that Pang Yungui was completely unaware of it, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

It is hard to say who implicated whom, father and son.

The crime in Old Man Pang's case was not punishable by death under the law, but Pang Yungui committed a serious crime punishable by confiscation of property and loss of life.

Pang Yungui knew that he was doomed, and now he only wanted to save the lives of his wife and children.

But he had no say in this matter; it all depended on whether the emperor was willing to show leniency.

Thinking about how he was sitting and talking with Ning Yuanchen not long ago, he really wanted to slap himself in the face.

His father, the marquis who was famous for protecting his son, could easily abandon him for the benefit of the family.

What did he have? A father who was a hindrance and a dissolute man?

At that time, I was blinded by the benefits and didn't consider whether I would have the life to earn money but not the life to spend it.

At this point, it’s impossible for that group of people to come forward to protect him.

Since I'm destined to be abandoned, I might as well give myself a chance to redeem myself from my crime.

Pang Yungui confessed his crimes and submitted a series of accusatory materials.

Not only were there corruption cases in the Imperial Stables and Imperial Horses Department, but even the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Stables was not spared.

In principle, Pang Shaoqing's current status is suspension and reflection.

The official position is still there and I can come and go freely.

He tried to communicate with the guards to see if he could let his wife out.

The guard asked the reason, and Pang Yungui took out the divorce documents. The guard hesitated for a moment and said he needed to ask for instructions.

Pang Yungui was extremely anxious and finally received the news of release in the afternoon.

Mrs. Pang cried until her eyes were red, and she took the divorce documents to the government to change her household registration.

Divorce letters are common and both parties can reach an agreement, but it is rare to draft a "letter of divorce".

However, since both husband and wife had already signed and sealed the document, there was no need for the government to stop them, and the household registration change was completed very quickly.

Mrs. Pang and her two children settled in a small courtyard in Dongcheng.

Dongcheng is very wealthy. As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will find yourself on the main street where people come and go.

For them, the more people and eyes there are, the safer it is.

Pang Yungui waited anxiously at the door, and only breathed a sigh of relief when his wife got off the carriage.

Pang Yungui knelt down in the direction of the imperial palace, kowtowed three times and nine times, and sincerely thanked His Majesty for his grace.

The next morning, Mrs. Pang asked her two children to kowtow to Pang Yungui to fulfill the father-son relationship.

Afterwards, she left Shaoqing's Mansion with all the dowry and servants.

The guards checked the luggage they took away and did not make things difficult for them.

Some valuable items that were not included in the dowry list but belonged to the children were also allowed to be taken away by her.

Pang Yungui didn't dare to come out to see him off, he knew that this farewell would be the last meeting in this life.

The servants in the mansion had a premonition, and as they watched the group leaving, they could only secretly envy them.

The building is about to collapse, where should they go?

The trial of Luo Qinghuan's case is still ongoing at the Dali Temple.

The attitude of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion is very clear, they will not interfere with the trial of the case.

If Ning Yuanchen really committed a crime, the Wu'an Marquisate would never cover up for him.

Although the words were nice, the lawyer hired by the Marquis' Mansion was notoriously difficult to deal with.

Although this man is not yet forty, he has handled quite a few cases.

He was a Jinshi graduate and his family had no background.

When he first entered the officialdom, he encountered many obstacles and was often excluded.

But this person took an unconventional approach and gave up his official career to become a lawyer.

By the way, this person only takes cases from wealthy people, and is quite criticized among his peers.

But even so, his ability to make money and his professional skills are still terrifyingly strong.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Marquis Wu'an's words and actions were inconsistent, and he really couldn't let go of his eldest son out of wedlock.

As one of the presiding judges in this case, Zhou Yi has to follow up on the progress of the case in real time.

Tiezhu was anxious to get in. Although he was about to be promoted to the eighth rank official, that would happen after the new year!

After all, his current position is the recorder of Dali Temple, which is a suitable job for him.

This official position is responsible for recording and integrating cases and assisting superior officials in case trials.

Zhou Yi was so angry that he laughed. With your poor handwriting, you have the nerve to call yourself a clerk of the Dali Temple?

Tiezhu felt a little guilty, but it wasn't his fault that his handwriting was ugly.

His master said that he lost both his parents when he was young and his family was separated.

Living a precarious life.

As a slave living under someone else's roof, he couldn't even get a full meal.

Even the little maids in the mansion could bully him at will, and he had no conditions to read and practice calligraphy at all.

It is hard to say whether these words moved Zhou Yi.

But Tie Dongming was definitely moved.

My nephew has suffered, so what's wrong with him wanting to participate in the trial? That's his job!

Zhou Yi wants to say that your nephew didn't even do his job well. He is a black-and-black person, and his insides are even darker than his outsides.

He is the person who has been with Han Zeyu for many years. Don't be fooled by his honest appearance.

You are still worried that he will be bullied after he returns to his ancestral home. You are definitely overthinking it. It's good enough that he doesn't make the General's Mansion and the Wuxing Earl's Mansion bleed heavily.

Tie Dongming didn't like what he heard. How could he say that?

You are all military officers. Don’t you have any idea of ​​what your handwriting looks like?

After exposing all the secrets, Tie Dongming felt that there was a reason why Zhou Yi was not good at educating his younger brother.

Zhou Yi also sincerely believed that it was not unfair for General Tie to be the scapegoat.

But when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Mr. Zhou held a low official position and his influence was insignificant. Under pressure from his superiors, he had no choice but to open the door and welcome in his relative named Tiezhu.
