Chapter 125: Heretical Methods
On the evening of the third day, Lin Zhiyu brought back news again.
"It has been investigated that it was Sun Chi's cousin who secretly lent money and then returned the profits to the Sun family in another way. Sun Chi also knew that this method was against the law, so he was sneaky and even pretended to be poor on the surface."
Lin Zhiyu said in a deep voice, "Not only that, he also accepted bribes privately, so there was so much money for Sun Ziyu to squander. The murder case was also caused by them. They used the money to suppress the news and disappeared completely, but somehow, it was dug up again and then pinned on the Sun family."
"They thought they had concealed the matter very well, but unfortunately there were many loopholes. With the relationship between Lord Xu and General Fu, those who helped conceal the truth revealed everything in an instant."
Lin Ruqian was surprised, "Will this clear Lord Sun of the charges?!"
"We have evidence, but now we have to solve a problem." Lin Zhiyu glanced at them and narrowed his eyes, "How do we separate this branch from the Sun family?"
"Yes!" Lin Mobai nodded, "When we prosper, we prosper together, and when we suffer, we suffer together. The branch and the main family are of the same blood. Even if Sun Chi pleads guilty, he will not let Brother Sun and the others go. He will definitely drag them to death together."
"Then the emperor will not care what the truth is. He will just regard it as the Sun family's doing and punish them together."
"What should we do?!" Lin Ruqian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, turning back and forth non-stop, almost making Lin Baoer dizzy.
[This is indeed difficult to do. Isn't it just like in modern times, how to prove that there is no relationship between relatives? ]
[But in ancient times, it seems that blood relations are very important. Sun Chi should be Sun Wei's cousin, right? Then how to sever the relationship? ]
"Master, Miss Wei is here."
Suddenly, a servant came to report, and several people in the main hall looked surprised.
"Please let her in." Lin Zhiyu said.
After a while, Wei Zhixu hurried in.
"I wonder why Miss Wei suddenly came to visit?" Lin Zhiyu sat in the main seat and nodded slightly to Wei Zhixu.
"Mr. Lin..." Wei Zhixu grabbed the corner of his clothes, her expression hesitant and hesitant. After a while, she became very firm. It was quite complicated and people couldn't understand her intentions.
"I know Sun Zice wouldn't do those things." She took a deep breath, her eyes gradually firmed, "Now that the Sun family is in trouble, I can't see him or anyone else in the Sun family. I heard that he came to you before, and you, Mr. Lin, are his best friend, so I guessed that you would definitely help him."
"Sure enough, although you guys were very quiet, I still found out that you were investigating the affairs of the Sun family's branch."
"Actually, I've heard about them a long time ago. My father has never allowed me to associate with the Sun family, saying that they have done a lot of dirty things behind the scenes, and he just turned a blind eye."
"So I started to suspect it." Wei Zhixu said calmly, "The rumors that put the Sun family in trouble were all caused by that branch. Even if you find out and have evidence, you can't completely protect the Sun family."
"I have understood the principle of prosperity and adversity since I was a child. If the Sun family and that branch are not completely separated, then the Sun family will definitely be implicated." Several
people's eyes flashed with surprise. They didn't expect that the information they got from these few sleepless days was guessed by Wei Zhixu.
[This Wei Zhixu is too amazing...]
Lin Baoer was simply full of admiration.
"So the purpose of Miss Wei's visit this time is..." Lin Zhiyu said in a deep voice, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Wei Zhiyu looked him straight in the eye, her gaze sharp as a torch. "It's not difficult for my father to forge a document with his status. I checked a file, and the Sun family's side branch moved from Youyang. When they were in Youyang, the Sun Chi family had already fallen out with the main family over a property dispute, and almost divided the ancestral hall. Everyone in Youyang knows about it."
"Just send someone to Youyang as soon as possible to destroy the ancestral hall genealogy, and then forge a document of division. In this way, the Sun family will have nothing to do with this side branch, and no matter how much they shout, they will not be able to be connected to the Sun family."
Lin Zhiyu was shocked by her shocking remarks. Not only him, but even Lin Baoer, who always had unconventional thoughts, was shocked.
Although she didn't know much about some ancient systems, she knew that a family's genealogy was very important. Basically, as long as everyone was alive, the genealogy would exist.
Destroying the genealogy was equivalent to establishing a blood feud with that family, a feud that would last forever.
But now Wei Zhixu could easily say this. It seemed that she had underestimated the people here. They were not stubborn and inflexible, but very flexible! It was just like tearing up people's household registration books in modern times.
She could only say one thing, awesome!
"Aren't you afraid that the matter will be exposed, and even the Wei family will be involved in this incident?" Lin Zhiyu frowned, "When the time comes, your words will be enough to prevent the Wei family from turning over."
Wei Zhixu did not answer his question, but asked back, "I'm only saying this to you today. Will you report me?"
Several people were silent.
Wei Zhixu smiled slowly, "Just like Sun Zice believes in you, I also believe in you, so I dare to say these things despite the disapproval."
Lin Zhiyu paused as he tapped the armchair, exhaled a long breath, considered in his heart, and narrowed his eyes, "What about Lord Wei? Does he know? Does he agree with you to do this?"
This time, Wei Zhixu curled his lips and muttered, "Does he know what the relationship is..."
"Don't worry, he will agree."
With this, Lin Zhiyu fell silent again.
Lin Mobai glanced at Wei Zhixu, then at his eldest brother, and understood what he meant, "It's not a pity for Sun Chi and the others to die, and we naturally want the Sun family to be safe, but... For this kind of thing, we have to ask their opinions." After all,
it is a big matter of destroying the family tree, so we still have to ask the opinions of the host family.
Wei Zhixu nodded, a little hesitant, "Okay, but... can you please not tell Sun Zice that I said this."
"Why?" Lin Ruqian was curious, "Although I don't know if Big Brother Sun will agree, but we are also thinking about him, he won't be angry."
"It's not that reason..." Wei Zhixu bit his lip and didn't say anything.
[Tsk tsk tsk, isn't it obvious that he doesn't want to show his dark side in front of his sweetheart? Third brother doesn't understand this. ]
Lin Ruqian: ...
He chose to keep his mouth shut.
"Okay." Lin Zhiyu agreed.
Wei Zhixu nodded, "Time is running out, you must hurry up. I heard from my father that the emperor has been under pressure from his ministers, and I'm afraid he will issue an order soon."
