Chapter 165: Preparations

The mother accused her eldest son of killing her second son, and the second son died in the county jail.

Thinking about how some yamen runners had cooperated with Sun Zhiye to cover up the truth in the county jail, County Magistrate Xu was so angry that his heart ached!

He is the joke, he is the biggest joke in Changhe County! Who is the county magistrate to make him like this!

"Sir, what should we do?" Shi Bantou wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking anxious.

County Magistrate Xu was like an ant on a hot pot at this moment. His mind was in turmoil and he paced back and forth hurriedly. In desperation, he looked at his honest master and asked, "Old Yuan, what do you think about this?"

Master Yuan said carefully, "Sir, Young Master Sun is a humble and polite person with noble character, as gentle as jade and as meticulous as a knife. His reputation is well-known and highly praised by many people. I believe he would never do such a despicable and shameless thing."

Seeing that County Magistrate Xu's face was as gloomy as water and his brows were tightly furrowed, he changed the subject and said, "Of course, this is just my humble opinion."

"You know what I'm talking about?" County Magistrate Xu said unhappily, "When did you take your reputation seriously? You're really going backwards as you get older."

Master Yuan: It can be seen that the county magistrate is really anxious.

County Magistrate Xu slammed his hand heavily on the table, causing the cups and bowls to shake and the tea to spill out, soaking the official hat.

During his many years as an official, he had taken on cases where mothers sued their sons, but most of them were accusations of unfilial behavior, and he had never been so thrilled.

Sun Zhiye...

"Should we promote this class or not?" Shi Bantou asked tentatively.

County Magistrate Xu: Does he have the qualifications to choose?

The lawyer has stirred up the emotions of the people. If he turns a blind eye, the people will undoubtedly think he is guilty and shielding someone.

Three people make a tiger, and after word spread, he became a corrupt official who colluded with the police and took people's lives!

He no longer expects to come out on top in the end-of-year assessment of the Ministry of Personnel and get promoted next year.

Be realistic, I just hope to be better than the best but not as good as the worst.

At this moment, he needs this simple and solid sense of security.

County Magistrate Xu took a deep breath and said, "This case has to be upgraded. If it's just a farce, then it's fine. Otherwise, a big storm will blow up the Changhe County Court."

He squeezed the water off the official hat and put it on while trembling.

The chill on his forehead made Xu Xianling more rational.

Master Yuan asked cautiously, "Sir, should we send someone to inform Young Master Sun in advance?"

County Commander Xu stared at Master Yuan with a sharp gaze and warned him, "Old Yuan, I know Sun Zhiye has given you a lot of benefits, but this is a different time. Don't sacrifice yourself for material things."

"This matter will never be resolved peacefully, and no one can guarantee that it will not be heard by the dignitaries in Shangjing City."

"You have helped me deal with the affairs of Changhe County for a long time. I don't want to watch you lose your integrity and end up in a mess."

"From this moment on, Sun Zhiye is the suspect of premeditated murder, not Mr. Yuxian, your old friend. You'd better understand this!"

"As for the notification, he is neither deaf nor blind. It is possible that he cannot see or hear such a large formation!"

"Get ready for court!"

Master Yuan hurriedly lowered his head, his eyes flickered, his face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down his face.

Master Sun can only wish for the best!

Just as Magistrate Xu said, as soon as Mrs. Sun started beating the drum of injustice, someone immediately rushed to the Sun Mansion to report the news.

For Sun Zhiye, it was like a heavy hammer hitting him on the head.

Is mom crazy?

He has always known that his mother is impulsive, stupid and confused, but his father is a businessman who weighs the pros and cons. With his father around, his mother can't cause any trouble.

Now, my mother has accused him of murdering my second brother!

Sun Zhiye was angry and anxious. His chest felt stuffy and he couldn't breathe. He spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Young Master!"

Tiandong and Chuanbai were greatly shocked.

Sun Zhiye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and waved his hand with a cold face, "No problem."

I was just getting angry.

Yesterday, he was still proud of himself for single-handedly turning around Sunji's reputation, which was in jeopardy and he saved many merchants by burning more than tens of thousands of taels of grain.

Today, out of the blue came the tragic news.

Damn, he really can’t figure it out.

"Tian Dong, you should leave the city now and go to the Taoist temple to look for your father, tell him about this, take him down the mountain and bring him back home, and prove my innocence."

After all, my second brother's death cannot withstand a thorough investigation.

If it is murder, there is no way it can be perfect.

But, no matter what, he is the only hope of the Sun family, and given his father's cruelty, he should know how to make the right choice.

However, we should be prepared for everything.

Sun Zhiye's face showed a fierce look, and he pursed his lips slightly, saying word by word, "Chuanbai, you must go to the capital immediately and ask to see the eldest lady of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion."

"I'll say that I'm loyal to Miss Lu and never want to destroy her calligraphy. Now I'm trapped by a thief. I hope Miss Lu can lend a hand and save me from this quagmire. Afterwards, I'm willing to offer my Sun family to you, even if it means sacrificing my life."

The letter in which Lu Minghui ordered him to kill Lu Chun and his family was the evidence.

Noble ladies cherish their reputation and protect their reputation, so they would never allow a reputation for being vicious and cruel to spread.

Tian Dong left immediately.

Chuanbai was slightly hesitant.

The eldest son is threatening the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion.

"Just say what you mean."

Sun Zhiye still felt a knot in his throat.

As he raised his voice, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth again.

The bloodstains on the white brocade robe are like red plum blossoms reflected on the snowy ground under the cold moon.

The dignified and gentle expression on his face had been replaced by a weird and morbid look.

Chuan Bai was frightened and bowed his head, saying, "I'm afraid it will anger Miss Lu, and we will be attacked from all sides."

Sun Zhiye smiled sinisterly, "She doesn't dare."

"Although the Sun family is just a merchant family, they still have a caravan that travels far and wide. They are not comparable to the father and son of Ohkawamura Lu Chunhe."

"She would not dare to act rashly unless she was absolutely sure."

"Chuanbai, Miss Lu is my backup, you must find a way to convince her, do you understand?"

In fact, Eucommia ulmoides was the most suitable person to go to Beijing as a lobbyist.

But there was no other way, and Du Zhong was involved in a case of grain storage mold.

Sun Zhiye took down a carved wooden box from the antique display cabinet, turned the key and with a click, he saw a box full of banknotes.

He drew two and handed them to Chuanbai, "Make sure your family is well taken care of. Just in case, let your wife and children go to Shunhe County to seek shelter with distant relatives."

Chuan Bai's scalp tingled and his heart sank. His fingertips trembled slightly as he took the banknote respectfully.

Shunhe County does not have any distant relatives. There is only a hot spring villa privately run by the eldest son, which does some shameful things on a daily basis.

"Chuanbai thanks you on behalf of my parents, wife and children. I will definitely live up to your trust."

"Take care, young master."

Chuanbai knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

"With your help and Tian Dong's help, I can turn danger into fortune."

The cypress trees walked hurriedly, the door swayed, and the cold wind squeezed in.

Sun Zhiye knew that it would be soon before the bailiffs came to his house.

This time, was it an accident or Lu Mingchao's work?

Today there is a talented hunter in the Ming Dynasty.
