Chapter 67 So, Lord Liu knelt down very skillfully and kowtowed heavily.
Lord Xia actually felt that Yuan Shuang let Liu Jin and the other two off too easily, but he knew that Yuan Shuang was thinking about him, and he couldn't let his daughter down.
However, since he couldn't do it openly, he would do it secretly!
So he sent people to spread all the scandals of Liu Jin and the other two in the wine houses and teahouses in the capital.
Of course, a lot of information about the Liu family was hidden, after all, he still had to consider the future of his two sons.
Lord Xia's operation made the news spread faster.
And because the person who spread the news told the story vividly, the people in the capital talked about it with relish, and they would show it off when visiting relatives and friends.
"Let me tell you, I know a huge secret. That is, the relationship between the two sons of the Minister of War is unclear!"
"Really, of course it's true! This news was told to me by the elder brother of the girlfriend of my second uncle's cousin who works in the Minister's Mansion. I would never tell her this to ordinary people!" As a
result, this news became a joke for the people after dinner and a topic of conversation when visiting relatives and friends. From time to time, people would go to inquire about the latest news. It can be said that it is enduring.
Every day, people go to peek at the wall of Lord Liu's house, one group after another.
Lord Liu is almost crazy because of being peeped at every day, and his hair is almost falling out.
The key is that these peeping people run very fast and can't be caught at all!
Jingzhao Prefecture didn't care at all, saying that he had no actual evidence and no substantial losses, so there was no need to waste the government's resources. It was not
until that time that Lord Liu truly felt what collapse was.
He should have sent the two guys directly to the government for investigation when the incident happened. At most, they would have been in jail for a few years, and there wouldn't have been so many follow-up incidents!
Of course, these are all later stories. Now Lord Liu can only sigh in his heart: Alas, the family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate, the trumpet must be practiced quickly!
Fortunately, Lord Liu himself has a good mind, is an upright official, and God is also somewhat kind to him.
He is already quite old, but he has practiced the trumpet, and the trumpet is also very competitive, and he is quite talented in painting.
After Xiaohao became famous, the people's attention was drawn to Xiaohao instead of Dahao.
The wall of Lord Liu's house was finally freed.
After hearing what his elder sister said, Minister Xu had a higher opinion of Lord Xia in his heart. It was good that he was not a coward, which showed that his daughter's vision was not too bad.
Lord Xia met his father-in-law's slightly admiring eyes and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
For so many years, his father-in-law had never liked him.
When he asked Yu Niang to marry him, his father-in-law didn't like him at all. No matter what he did, he would be scolded.
It was Yu Niang who insisted on marrying him, and the two were able to get married smoothly.
He thought that he would probably never be recognized in this life, but he never thought that there would be a day when his father-in-law would like him.
Lord Liu finally got rid of his beautiful fantasy. Now that the mighty general has mentioned the matter in front of His Majesty.
This matter may be difficult to resolve, it is better to take the initiative to admit the mistake and ask for a lighter punishment.
So, Lord Liu slid down and knelt heavily in a very skillful way.
"Your Majesty, it was because of my poor parenting that he almost made a big mistake! He almost harmed the young lady of Lord Xia's family! I am willing to accept the punishment!"
Emperor Jin Yuan was still praying in his heart that the fact that he farted would not be exposed.
He was suddenly awakened by the conversation between Minister Xu and General Weiwu, and was forced to eat a mouthful of melon. Well, now he has to finish the melon.
These two old foxes!
In fact, Minister Xu and General Weiwu did communicate in advance, just wanting to expose this matter in the court.
So General Weiwu followed Minister Xu's words and led the conversation to this matter.
The main purpose was to eliminate all kinds of rumors about Yuan Shuang in the capital through His Majesty's golden words.
Although everyone present at the time knew that Yuan Shuang had nothing to do with those two people, as the central figure of the incident, Yuan Shuang was inevitably dragged out to talk about, and as the conversation went on, the story became distorted.
Yesterday, there were rumors that Yuan Shuang deliberately seduced Liu Sheng, but failed to seduce him, which caused Liu Jin's dissatisfaction.
That's why he planned to destroy her innocence and marry her so that she could feel the sweetness of Liu Jin and him all the time, in order to torture and humiliate her.
Although Minister Xu and General Weiwu always quarreled because of the difference in martial arts, the friendship between them still existed.
After leaving the palace last night, Minister Xu found General Weiwu, hoping that he could help and "inadvertently" bring up the matter in the court.
If Minister Xu asked His Majesty directly, it might make His Majesty angry. After all, it was a family matter, and it would be inappropriate to bring it up in the court casually.
At this time, Lord Xia also stood up and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for my daughter in this matter. After this incident, because my daughter was kind, she spared Liu Jin and the other two. But I never thought that rumors would spread in the capital that my daughter had hooked up with Liu Sheng."
"Therefore, I plead with Your Majesty to issue an order to punish the relevant people and clear my daughter's name!"
Upon hearing this, Minister Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
He didn't expect that what he was about to say would be snatched away by this kid, and the content was almost the same.
He actually knew about yesterday's rumors. It seems that he really loves Yuan Shuang.
Minister Xu stroked his beard and nodded with great satisfaction. His eyes softened when he looked at Lord Xia.
This made Lord Xia even more flattered. Under the caring look of his father-in-law, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
After pondering for a while, Emperor Yuan of Jin spoke, "The Assistant Minister of War Liu Rencheng is not strict in managing his household and has no way of educating his children. His son Liu Jin, his adopted son Liu Sheng and his sister Liu, the three of them intended to deceive Xia Yuanshuang into marriage, and almost tarnished Xia Yuanshuang's innocence."
"But considering that Liu Rencheng is a decent official, he will be fined for one year. His son Liu Jin and his adopted son Liu Sheng will be punished to kneel in front of the gate of the Xia Mansion and apologize for one month, carrying
weeds on their backs, and they must kneel for four hours every day!" "His sister Liu will be sent to a nunnery in the suburbs of Beijing from now on, and she will copy scriptures and pray for Xia Yuanshuang day and night!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Minister Xu and Lord Xia knelt together to thank him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!" Lord Liu was still relieved in his heart. Although he lost a year's salary and lost face, fortunately he was alive.
Therefore, from today on, there is another "check-in point" in the capital, the gate of Xia Mansion.
Countless people go there to throw rotten vegetable leaves every day, which makes Liu Jin and the others miserable, but they dare not show any dissatisfaction.
The two of them were already injured, and with the scorching heat in September, they knelt for a month, which made their injuries worse. It is estimated that they will have to lie in bed for one or two years.
After Liu Jin's injury healed, when he finally walked out of the courtyard, he was stunned to find that he had a younger brother, and the whole Liu Mansion was decorated with lights and colors to hold a full-moon banquet for his brother.
Liu Jin: I felt like I had been in bed for more than a year, and after I came out, the whole world had changed?
