Chapter 578 Frustrated
Jiang Yunzhou was beaten.
People throughout the capital were whispering about how he had been beaten with fifty sticks and was covered in blood.
The prince of Anping Marquis's Mansion was so high-spirited, elegant and free and easy in those days, but now he is so miserable.
At this time, news spread that Li Taohua was Jiang Yunzhou's biological mother.
After the news came out, a group of people immediately suppressed it, but it still spread quickly. Needless to say, not many people knew about this matter, and there was only one person who spread the news widely.
Unfortunately for him, Li Taohua would also be cursed, and the reputation of Tang Yichen, the elegant gentleman, would also be ruined.
Qin Huiyin rushed back to Tang Mansion after learning about this.
"Where's the lady?" she asked the housekeeper.
"My wife is cutting flowers in the backyard."
Qin Huiyin rushed to the backyard and saw Li Taohua pruning flowers in the garden.
She cut the blooming flowers and told the maid beside her to sort them out, using some for flower arrangement and some for making flower cakes.
"Mom..." Qin Huiyin looked at Li Taohua.
Li Taohua looked up and said with a smile, "How come you have time to come back and visit today?"
"I want to eat the flower cakes made by my mother."
"Okay, I'll do it myself later." Li Taohua handed the flowers in her hand to the maid, "Clean it up."
Qin Huiyin took Li Taohua's arm and walked towards the pavilion not far away: "Mom, where is Uncle Tang?"
"He went to buy me some peach cakes." Li Taohua said, "A new shop opened recently, and their peach cakes are especially delicious."
There was a noise coming from the front, and then a servant came in carrying the injured Tang Dafu.
"How did this happen?" Li Taohua said nervously.
"The master had an argument with others, and those people seemed to be beating him to death. Fortunately, soldiers from the Military Affairs Department stopped them when they passed by." said the attendant.
"He has always been timid and cowardly. I have never seen him fall out with anyone. How could he have a dispute with others?" Li Taohua asked.
Tang Dafu said weakly: "Wife, it's okay, I'm just tired from fighting, I'll be fine after a rest."
"Go and get a doctor. Xiao Ge'er is in the Imperial Hospital, and we won't be able to find him for a while, so we can only get a doctor from outside."
"The housekeeper has already sent someone to invite him."
"Then help him go in and rest."
Qin Huiyin almost knew why Tang Dafu had an argument with someone. Tang Dafu had no pursuits or ideals, he just liked to live a peaceful and happy life. In recent years, he just wanted to be with Li Taohua, doing nothing and going nowhere. He was emotionally stable, and the only things that could make him lose control were the children and Li Taohua, among whom Li Taohua was his weak spot.
He must have heard the gossip when he was buying the peach cakes and couldn't help but take action.
Li Taohua followed Tang Dafu inside.
Qin Huiyin called Tang Dafu's followers and said, "Tell me everything about how the master fought with others."
The attendant told her what had just happened.
In fact, it was almost what she guessed. When Tang Dafu was buying peach cakes, he happened to hear those gossipers talking about the affair between Li Taohua and the former Earl of Ping'an. They also mentioned Li Taohua's past of marrying three husbands, and made up stories about her being promiscuous and flirting with men everywhere.
Tang Dafu couldn't stand hearing this and started fighting right away. The man didn't want to be outdone and started fighting with him.
"This is the first time I've seen the master fight. I was worried that he would suffer a loss, but it turned out that the master was very strong and the man was seriously injured." The follower praised.
Qin Huiyin frowned: "You said that person's injuries were serious?"
"yes!"
"Is he alright?"
"When we separated, everything was fine. We were still cursing at the master!"
"Send someone immediately to find out who this person is and see what his situation is like..."
The housekeeper came in from outside and said to Qin Huiyin, "Second Miss, there are people making trouble at the door, saying that the master has beaten someone to death."
Qin Huiyin's heart skipped a beat.
What she worried about happened.
It has been a turbulent time recently. Their Tang Mansion and Song Mansion are being closely watched by the evil man Ming Fashi. Any mistake can easily lead to trouble.
"I'll go and take a look."
At the gate of Tang's house, a blind old woman was holding a pale-faced middle-aged man and crying heartbrokenly. There were also a dozen farmers holding hoes and other weapons nearby. They shouted and cursed at Tang's house and threw rotten eggs inside.
Their throwing stopped when the door opened.
Qin Huiyin stood in front of everyone.
They didn't expect that the person who came out was a young lady, and she was so beautiful, so they hesitated for a moment.
"The person in front of you is the wife of the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate. If you dare to attack her with your things again, you will be arrested immediately and thrown into jail." The housekeeper shouted angrily.
The farmers immediately stopped doing anything.
"What are you doing?" Qin Huiyin asked.
"My son is dead. He was beaten to death by your family..." the blind old woman cried, "Give me back my son's life..."
"We have reported it to the authorities, and they will give us justice." One of the farmers shouted.
Da da da! The people from the Light and Dark Law arrived.
"Someone reported to the police that Tang Dafu from your mansion had beaten someone to death." Jiang Yunzhou's right-hand man Lin Ye made a gesture, "Go in and arrest the man."
"Wait a minute..." Qin Huiyin stopped at the door, "We haven't verified whether this person is dead or how he died."
"Mrs. Song, just rest assured. We at the Mingfa Division will not wrongly accuse any good person. Since someone has reported the case, we will find out the cause of death."
"Since when has the Ministry of Justice been in charge of such cases?" Qin Huiyin said, "It could be the Jingzhao government office, the Dali Temple, or the Ministry of Justice, but it shouldn't be the Ministry of Justice."
"We are the Mingfa Division, which specializes in handling unfair matters. Since the case has been brought to our Mingfa Division, we should take over the case."
"Does your General Manager Jiang know? Oh, I almost forgot. Your General Manager Jiang should still be lying in bed and unable to get up, right? He is too busy taking care of himself to care about these injustices."
"Mrs. Song, even if you are the wife of a court official, you have no right to interfere in the affairs of the court. If you continue to affect our work, we will have to take you away for investigation."
"The law of light and darkness is so powerful." Tang Yichen appeared with the officials from the Ministry of Justice. "Since there is a murder case, of course it should be handed over to our Ministry of Justice for investigation."
"This matter concerns Lord Tang's biological father. I'm afraid Lord Tang should avoid suspicion, right?" Lin Ye is worthy of being the most obedient dog around Jiang Yunzhou. He bit Tang Yichen and refused to let go.
Qin Huiyin would not believe that Jiang Yunzhou had no hand in what happened today.
From spreading rumors to angering Tang Dafu, everything was planned by Jiang Yunzhou. Even if Tang Dafu didn't fall for it today, he would fall for it someday, because Jiang Yunzhou had set his sights on him.
Pick the softest persimmon to squeeze.
