Jiang Feng has already reported the witnesses and physical evidence he received to the state government. Everything is calm now, and the case will only be formally filed after the state magistrate conducts a secret investigation and collects evidence.
This matter involves numerous officials from two counties and one town, and it's being treated as a major case.
How many more official hats have fallen to the ground? Song Liyun clicked her tongue twice.
No wonder everyone wants to be an official, a prefect who ruins his family and a magistrate who wipes out his entire clan.
She didn't feel sorry for the Lin family.
If Jiang Feng wasn't on their side, whether it was Song Defu accusing him of filial impiety or the indenture brought by Master Xue, it would have been enough to make Song Liyun and her siblings suffer greatly.
She could only lament that ordinary people, when faced with injustice, could only vent their anger and shed blood.
As for Lin Qingyuan, Song Liyun believed that the cunning fox had his own way of escaping.
It's New Year's Eve, and all the restaurants on the street have closed for the holidays. Song Liyun kindly invites Jiang Feng to spend the New Year in Suijin Town.
Jiang Feng refused, saying that he had already made a reservation with the chef at Tianxianglou Restaurant, and the meal would be delivered to the back office on time.
Song Liyun then remembered that three families were currently living in Tianxiang Tower, and they said that as long as they were paid, the tower would not close on the first day of the lunar new year.
When she arrived at Tianxiang Restaurant, Lin Tao, Zhou Xiang, and the others had already gone home for the New Year, and there were still cooks and waiters in the restaurant.
These people all knew that the county magistrate had ordered the meal, so Song Liyun gave them each a red envelope as encouragement before they left.
On the way back, amidst the bustling crowds and passing by the deserted Zuichunlou, Song Liyun remained unfazed, not even lifting her eyelids.
Having witnessed the clash of swords and the bloodshed of the battlefield, she had absolutely no interest in these sarcastic and scheming intrigues.
The sumptuous and lively reunion dinner at Baolin Residence in Suijin Town was what she longed for most.
Throughout the Spring Festival, Song Liyun lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) reading books and drawing, trying to find a direction for the future development of Wuda.
Zhao Tingduo said he would build a city for her.
To be honest, she was tempted.
Every bride dreams of having her own wedding home, and if possible, who could refuse to create a love garden?
Baolinju now has a new female owner, and it also feels more like home.
Song Zhenping and Yang Hua were newlyweds, enjoying a blissful and loving marriage.
Yang Hua was older and more mature, and she only spoke to her husband alone when tending to the greenhouse in the backyard.
Song Zhenping, on the other hand, seemed like a completely different person, his face always bearing a simple, honest smile.
His leg injury has recovered, and he can walk as easily as a normal person. Now he stays by Yang Hua's side every step of the way.
Xiao An, along with Hua Gou, led Hei Jin and Abu on horseback rides outside.
Song Dekui and Han Ming spent their time chatting and playing cards in the town's teahouse, and also communicating with some people who came to discuss business.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Manager Wan brought a young man to pay a New Year's visit.
Strictly speaking, it should have been Song Liyun who went to the Wan family to pay New Year's respects, but Steward Wan arrived at the door much earlier.
Song Liyun did not entertain guests at Baolin Residence, but arranged for them to stay in the town.
The new courtyard of Yu Ruixiang in the Song family business.
This place not only has an ice cellar, but also serves as a venue for business receptions.
Although it was a temporary arrangement, Yu Ruixiang's living room was still filled with flowers and auspicious symbols.
The floor was covered with a brand-new carpet, and the display shelves were filled with neatly arranged wool yarn, exquisite tapestries, and horn cups. In the corner next to them, there were piles of clean cow and sheep hides.
These items were brought from the Uda tribe, showcasing the pure grassland charm.
The other room also contained cardboard boxes and bags of various sizes.
Small cardboard boxes can hold only one egg, while large cardboard boxes can withstand a hundred kilograms of weight.
There are even more varieties of paper bags available, and they can also be customized according to customer needs.
Yu Ruixiang is the exhibition center of the Song Family Business Company.
Abu, along with six Uda guards, worked as Song Liyun's assistants.
These people are all related to the Northern Army of the Wu Dynasty by blood. Now that they have changed into Wu Dynasty clothing and can speak fluent Wu Dynasty language, they do not seem to be anything special.
The townspeople assumed that Miss Song had connections with the border caravans and that Old Master Zhang, Xue Zhuang, and others had ties with the garrison, so no one suspected Yu Ruixiang.
Upon meeting, Manager Wan introduced the young people he had brought to Song Liyun.
"Miss Song, this is Wan Yanming, the seventh young master of the eldest branch of the Wan family!"
Song Liyun only learned of this after she had paid her respects.
The man before me, Wan Yanming, exudes a scholarly air and has a gentle, refined appearance. Although he is only in his early twenties, he is quite capable and is already the manager in charge of the Wan family's southeast trade routes.
During his trip home for the Chinese New Year, through Manager Wan, he wanted to meet Miss Song, whom he had mentioned several times in his letters.
We also need to plan out the goods list for the new year.
Over the years, the revenue from the Southeast trade route he was in charge of has consistently ranked among the top three in the clan, only less than that of the branch responsible for the capital.
But he never expected that his third uncle, who stayed in the old house in Pingyang Prefecture, would stand out from the bottom of the rankings and jump straight to fourth place, making the uncles from the other prefectures very embarrassed at the reunion banquet.
Pingyang Prefecture is close to the grasslands. The Wan family's old house has always been engaged in the leather goods business, while the scattered trade routes also include other purchases, such as selling face powder, perfumes and jewelry from the capital, purchasing silk and seafood from the southeast, and buying and selling grain from the central region.
During the Wu Dynasty, there were heavy taxes on vehicles and ships. Several families would pool their resources and trade together, relying on small profits to expand their businesses, and thus they could be considered large households in the area.
Wan Yanming stared wide-eyed at the room full of leather goods, and he couldn't help but touch the carpets and horn cups with great affection.
He runs this business, and he's never seen anyone dare to display Di ethnic goods for sale like this.
Wan Yanming remembered what his third uncle had said: that the Song family had connections with Wei, or rather, with the grasslands. He became even more determined to seize this opportunity.
The southeastern region he was in charge of had a humid climate with short winters and long summers, so sales of mink cloaks and sheepskin coats had never been very good.
