Yipin farm girl

Chapter 619
"Then..." Lou Zhong bowed his head, his slender phoenix eyes fell on the silver charcoal, his expression was focused and slightly sentimental, and he sighed long, "I found a book from the secret compartment of the old master Chu's study. An autographed letter from the head of the Yu family. The letter detailed the cooperation between the Yu family and Beiliang, and at the end was a discussion and solicitation of opinions with Lord Chu on this matter. When the letter was found, it shocked the entire government and the public. When he was young, Lord Hou of Chu was the late emperor's companion. He was both civil and military. He had made great contributions with the late emperor. He was a man of great self-esteem! Dali Temple was ordered to thoroughly investigate the case. When questioned, he only said In a word..."

Lou Zhong stopped and looked at Fu Yunshan.

Fu Yunshan looked up, met his gaze, and seemed to have guessed what Old Master Chu was going to say, "What, what?"

"He said that the old minister is worthy of the late emperor and the sage!"

Fu Yunshan's eyes widened, as expected!

Great-grandfather was wronged!
Lou Zhong refilled a cup of tea for Fu Yunshan, and then said, "Father is convinced, but the court is dissatisfied, and the admonishing ministers have come forward one after another. If the blame is not removed, the ministers of Chu will panic, and the world will be uneasy! All the mouths will make money, father Under pressure, the emperor had no choice but to take over the Marquis Chu's mansion, remove all the official positions of the old Marquis Chu, and send him and his family and relatives to Zhennan City!" After finishing speaking, a trace of sadness appeared on his handsome face, "Unfortunately... on the way to be escorted, someone The bandits attacked, Lord Chu was accidentally killed and died on the spot."

"W-how could it be?" Fu Yunshan frowned, and told her instinctively that Lord Chu's death was strange, "Since ancient times, bandits have never fought with officials. They knew that they were escorting criminal officials, so they had nothing to rob! Why... "

Lou Zhong also nodded, "Mother and grandpa had doubts like this before, how many people were secretly sent to investigate, but the gang of bandits seemed to have never existed, and there was no way to investigate. And the family of Chuhou's mansion...hasn't come to town either. Nancheng, I don't know where I went!"

However, Fu Yunshan thought that her grandmother's dignified temperament and gestures were different from the natural nobility of ordinary rural old ladies, and the mother and second aunt she brought up were incomparable to the ladies of the government office. superior!

Thinking of my grandfather's literary talents but only staying in the village to teach some poor children to read and write, and my uncle's outstanding literary attainments but never taking part in a scientific examination, just working as an ordinary accountant in the town !There is also the second uncle, who can see that martial arts are very powerful, but he only works as a small bodyguard in the bodyguard bureau in the town, living in the open air and traveling thousands of miles, just to earn a few taels of silver to support his family!

The source of all this is...

Fu Yunshan grasped the question and asked Lou Zhong, "Have you checked the handwriting of that letter, and it was really written by the head of the Yu family? Can Lord Chu reply this letter?"

"Little girl, did you think of this in such a short time?" Lou Zhong's eyes lit up, with an expression of admiration on his face, he pinched Chagai with two fingers and lightly brushed off the tea, took a sip, and said, "The Yu family is ruined. After it was burnt, there is no handwriting left for him to check! Later, the household department found the signature of Yu Changxi, the head of the Yu family, from the inventory of the Yu family and the Shangyi Bureau, and the two comparisons confirmed that it was correct. As for the Chuhou Did you reply to this letter..." He shook his head, "I don't know."

"There must be no reply!" Fu Yunshan concluded that if there is a reply, it is absolutely impossible to just sentence him to exile, and it is even more impossible not to hunt down the criminals after they disappear during the exile, but to let them go!This is obviously not Emperor Hong De's style of doing things!
Furthermore, if great-grandfather really replied, Emperor Hong De would not be convinced!
Lou Chong raised his eyebrows, thought carefully, and nodded with a smile, "Ninety percent!" Ninety percent of the time was because Lord Chu didn't reply, and the remaining [-]% was probably because Lord Chu didn't even bother to reply.
