"Greetings, Master Jiahe!"
"No need to be polite."
"Why are you here this time, Master?"
Song Yaoyao pointed at the man behind her and said:
“I brought him here!
I had just finished my shift and was on my way home when he stopped my car and asked me to make the decision for him.
So, I brought him here.”
"I see.
Then let’s go inside and talk about it!”
"Tuo."
Song Yaoyao and the others entered Jingzhao Prefecture.
Lord Yang had tea served, then he looked at Yuan Jibai and asked:
"Tell me about your story!"
"yes."
Yuan Jibai then spoke slowly:
"I, Yuan Jibai, am the legitimate son of the late Imperial Censor Yuan Zhifeng."
Lord Yang was astonished and said:
"What? You are Censor Yuan's legitimate son."
"Yes, Lord Yang."
"After all these years, are you still young?
I haven't heard from you for a long time since that incident.
I thought your mother took you back to her hometown."
"No, after my father passed away, my mother suffered a great blow and became seriously ill. She passed away within a few years.
After my mother passed away, my younger sister and I moved out of the Censorate.
We bought a small courtyard in the west of the city and have lived there ever since.”
"Didn't the Emperor say that you, the Yuan family, could continue to live in the Censorate's Mansion? Why are you moving out?"
“My father is no longer with us, and it is no longer appropriate for us to live in the Censorate.
Besides, living in the Censorate would remind me of my parents' tragic deaths, so after discussing it with my younger sister, we decided to move out."
“Move out, too.
So how are you guys doing now?"
"I'm still studying and want to take the imperial examination next year!
My sister is also very..."
…
Song Yaoyao was confused as she listened to the conversation between the two.
Song Yaoyao: [Is this a continuation of the old one?
Guagua, is Lord Yang, the Jingzhao prefect, very familiar with that Censor Yuan?
Guagua: [Lord Yang and Censor Yuan are not very familiar with each other; they are just colleagues.]
Song Yaoyao: [But listening to the familiar tone in Master Yang's voice, it feels like they know each other very well!]
Gua Gua: [It’s not what the host wants.
The reason why Lord Yang said this is because he thought Censor Yuan was a very admirable person!
He is really very powerful. 】
Song Yaoyao became more and more curious and asked:
[Very impressive? How so?]
Guagua thought for a moment and said:
[Host, you should know the historical figure Wei Zheng, right? ]
Song Yaoyao: [I know.]
Guagua: [Yuan Yushi is the Wei Zheng of this era.]
He is not afraid of the powerful and he dares to speak his mind!
Even if the emperor did something wrong, he would still dare to speak out against it!
Song Yaoyao: [I see!]
What happened next? Why did he disappear?]
Guagua: [Later, Censor Yuan received a secret letter, which was a letter of denunciation, reporting a group of corrupt officials.
Yuan Yushi sent people to verify the contents of the letter and sent people to expose it.
That night, Censor Yuan was assassinated in the Censorate.
The secret letter also disappeared.
This incident caused a sensation at the time.
Song Yaoyao: [I see!]
Has the murderer been caught? 】
Gua Gua: [When the emperor learned about this, he was very angry and sent people to investigate. After half a year, the matter was finally clarified and the murderer was caught.
All the corrupt officials who sent secret letters were also arrested, and they were all ordered to be executed by the emperor!
All their property was confiscated and their families were exiled!
Song Yaoyao: [I never thought Yuan Jibai had such a background.]
