Chapter 391: The entire Shangshu Mansion must be buried with him
The driver looked at the servant from the Shangshu Mansion and was about to scold him, but the servant ran away.
"Liu Gui, what's going on?" asked the person in the carriage.
Then, the curtain of the carriage opened, revealing a man wearing a sky-blue brocade robe.
The man was in his twenties, with a handsome appearance and sharp brows, and it was obvious that he must have an extremely tough character.
His eyes were deep and dark, like a dark pool, emitting a hint of coldness that made people dare not underestimate him.
After hearing what the man said, the driver Liu Gui quickly replied, "Someone suddenly rushed out and almost hit me."
After saying that, he asked with some concern: "Third Master, are the glass windows in the car intact?"
That thing is very valuable.
I don’t know what the Third Master was thinking, he insisted on leaving so much glass.
Now the wealthy families in Beijing are trying their best to buy it, but the Third Master just keeps it and refuses to sell it.
Oh! How much less silver will this cost?
After hearing what Liu Gui said, the third master shook his head.
"What's going on up ahead?" asked the Third Master.
Liu Gui looked at the throng of people in front of the Shuntian Mansion, then at the blocked road, and said, "I'm afraid the Shuntian Mansion is trying a case. Third Master, how about I go and ask?"
The Third Master nodded.
Liu Gui immediately jumped off the carriage and walked towards the crowd.
At this moment, in the lobby of Shuntian Mansion, Mr. Lin San suddenly said something.
"Second sister, what's going on between you and Qiu Songbai isn't mutual affection; it's a secret conspiracy and collusion."
Lin Wanyu, “…”
His expression froze.
“Puff!”
“Puff!”
…
Laughter rose and fell among the people who were eating melons.
Lin Hong's face turned livid. He looked at Lin Wanyu and asked with gritted teeth, "Is everything you said true? Was it Qiu Songbai's idea to persecute your cousin?"
After hearing what Lin Hong said, Lin Wanyu said harshly, "Of course it was his idea! Otherwise, how could a little girl like me have the ability to hire someone to kill someone?"
When Lin Wanyu said this, the expression on her face became sinister and crazy, and her voice became sharp again.
"Dad, let me tell you, the person who actually started all this is Qiu Songbai! He's the one you should sue the most!"
Lin Hong's face was filled with anger. He hated his daughter and Qiu Songbai even more.
Lin Wanyu's face suddenly showed an expression of gloating, and her eyebrows were raised high.
He continued, "Dad, haven't you always wanted to supplement Lin Wanru's dowry? Let me tell you, there's not much left of the dowry I brought with me back then. It was all taken away by Qiu Songbai and the Shangshu Mansion!"
"For example, that four-panel screen made of mutton-fat jade, that pair of large two-color glazed screens inlaid with gold ears, Daomingzi's 'Autumn Mountain Painting,' and so on... all of these were used by the Shangshu Mansion to win over officials and form cliques for personal gain!"
As soon as Lin Wanyu finished speaking, not only Lin Hong's face changed, but also the face of Shuntian Prefecture Governor changed.
This is the most explosive news among the explosive news.
Forming a clique for personal gain... this is a serious crime!
The governor of Shuntian Prefecture could no longer sit still, feeling that something big was about to happen.
Originally it was just a father suing his daughter, but now it is likely to cause uproar in the entire capital.
The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture glanced at the legal advisor beside him.
The lawyer understood and started taking notes himself.
Lin Wanyu seemed unaware of the commotion her words had caused. She continued, "Dad, you definitely don't know, but a few days ago I sold some shops and got over 20,000 taels of silver. Where do you think the money went?"
Lin Hong's heart was pounding. He looked at Lin Wanyu without saying a word.
Of course, Lin Wanyu naturally didn't expect his father to say anything.
"Qiu Songbai took all that money. He lied to me and said he was buying a birthday gift for the Emperor. In fact, he used it to buy the life of a prostitute from a brothel and bought a house in the capital to keep her as a prostitute!"
When Lin Wanyu said this, the expression on her face turned into anger and madness.
Of course she knew all this, because she didn't trust Qiu Songbai at all, so she had already bribed the people around Qiu Songbai!
Since Qiu Songbai dared to treat her like this, she would drag him to hell with her!
Not only that, she also wants the entire Shangshu Mansion to be buried with her!
"So, Dad, why don't you seek justice for me?! Qiu Songbai lied to me about my youth and inexperience, encouraging me to persecute Lin Wanru. Later, he stole my dowry, and the Shangshu Mansion even used my dowry to win over the court officials!"
"Not only that, they also casually demoted me, a legitimate wife, to a concubine. They bullied and humiliated me like this. Dad, why don't you seek justice for me?!"
Lin Wanyu questioned Lin Hong again and again, her voice sharp and piercing.
When Lin Hong saw Lin Wanyu like this, he felt both hatred and heartache.
Master Lin couldn't help but said angrily: "Second sister, if you don't tell me these things yourself, how would Dad know?"
"That's right! If I had known that you were so stupid and brainless, I would have beaten you to death long ago!" Lin Hong said in a deep voice.
Lin Wanyu, “…”
Lin Hong turned and looked at the Shuntian prefect, knelt on his knees, and said in a strong voice: "Your Excellency, I have three complaints!"
"First, I want to sue Qiu Songbai for deceiving my daughter, Lin Wanyu, and persecuting my niece, Lin Wanru!"
"Secondly, I am suing the Shangshu Mansion for excessive deception. Not only did they defraud me of marriage and money, but they also demoted the wife to a concubine for no apparent reason. This is a violation of the law and social order!"
"Third, although I am now just a commoner, I have always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic. The Shangshu Mansion is forming a clique for personal gain and co-opting court officials. Their intentions are not righteous and they deserve death!"
As soon as Lin Hong finished speaking, Qiu Songbai, sweating profusely, squeezed in, escorted by several servants.
"That's pure nonsense!" Qiu Songbai shouted angrily, "That's pure nonsense!"
After saying that, he was about to rush in.
The yamen runners at the door would naturally not let anyone in casually, even if this person was the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion.
So he drew out the sword from his waist and stopped Qiu Songbai.
Qiu Songbai glared at the yamen runner who was blocking his way, then shouted to the prefect in the hall, "Prefect, what Lin Hong said is pure slander. I have something to complain about!"
Since Lin Hong sued Qiu Songbai, Qiu Songbai can be considered a party involved, and the Shuntian prefect will naturally not stop him from leaving.
Moreover, he found that judging cases by eating melons was also quite effective.
Look, a big case has come!
Although, this big case is a bit tricky.
In particular, the Shuntian prefect saw that among the crowd watching the excitement at the door was Zhang Tiechi, the famous black-faced censor in the court.
Zhang Tiechi is as his name suggests, with an iron mouth and steel teeth, and unparalleled eloquence.
When Lin Hong, the Duke of England, was impeached, it was Zhang Tiechi who took the lead.
As a result, the Duke of England was stripped of his official title.
Now, Zhang Tiechi was eating melon among the crowd, but the governor of Shuntian Prefecture would not think that Zhang Tiechi would be fine after eating the melon.
When there is nothing to do, Zhang Tiechi can always do something.
What's more, there is such a big thing happening now.
