The investigators realized that they had found the Jiang family's super giant melon.
No, not only the Jiang family, but also the melons from the original grandfather’s family, and the melons from the Li family, the Minister of Justice. After all, the old lady Liu is related to the original grandfather, and the Jiang family is related to the third grandmother of the Li family.
In fact, these melons and a lot of evidence were deliberately exposed by Linlang for these people to find out. Otherwise, Mr. Jiang and the fake Mrs. Jiang heard about the discussions about them not long ago and were afraid of being exposed. , on the basis of being cautious in doing things before, they are even more cautious. If these people want to check, it is still difficult to find things.
Now that they have almost found out the truth about that year, these people want to expose this matter and let the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple investigate the Jiang family.
They also thought about finding Linlang and telling her that your father, your fake mother, and Mrs. Liu conspired to kill your real mother. In addition, your fake mother also wanted to have an illegitimate daughter. They conspired to kill you and asked Linlang to report the crime as the victim to expose the matter.
But in the end, they gave up the idea because they considered that Mr. Jiang and the fake Mrs. Jiang were Linlang's parents. It was unrealistic for Linlang to sue her parents. Moreover, doing so would not be a good thing for Linlang. , after all, the natal family has fallen. According to the concept of this era, that is definitely not a good thing; and it is not a good thing for a son to sue his father. People will say that Linlang is disobedient, and they are afraid that Linlang will not be willing to do it.
They were afraid that Linlang would not listen to their advice and sue Mr. Jiang and the fake Mrs. Jiang, so they planned to make a big fuss about the Jiang family's hauntings and have people pretend to be Jiang family servants to reveal the truth. Speak it outside so that the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple can hear it. , intervened to investigate this matter. After all, if there is such a thing, it is impossible for the Third Division not to investigate, and the Jiang family will be able to be dealt with by then. There is no way. Although the political opponents of the Jiang family want to deal with the Jiang family, they do not want to Get out of the situation yourself to avoid wading into muddy waters and getting into trouble.
This person’s arrangement is very reasonable.
Soon, the people in Beijing first heard that the Jiang family was haunted. The ghost looked exactly like the fake Mrs. Jiang, which surprised the people in Beijing. After all, Mrs. Jiang was still alive. Ah, why is there Mrs. Jiang's female ghost every day, asking her to pay for it?
Then, a few days later, a servant of the Jiang family broke the news, saying that Mr. Jiang and his wife, the illegitimate daughter of the original grandfather, conspired to kill the real Mrs. Jiang. , because the original maternal grandfather's aunt was the original maternal grandmother's sister, so the original maternal grandfather's illegitimate daughter looked very much like the real Mrs. Jiang, so the original maternal grandfather's illegitimate daughter pretended to be the fake Mrs. Jiang. lady.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang has turned into a ghost and is here to claim her life.
What’s even more shocking is that the fake Mrs. Jiang gave birth to a daughter with Mr. Jiang before she was replaced, and she is now raising her outside to imitate the real Mrs. Jiang’s daughter. , every move, word and deed, diet and living habits of Grandma Li San, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, are prepared to kill Grandma Li San just like she did when she killed the real Mrs. Jiang, and let Master Jiang’s illegitimate daughter take her place like her mother Like Mrs. Jiang, she replaced Grandma Li San.
As soon as this news came out, it exploded. After all, this kind of thing is so surprising. People are curious, so soon, under the bombardment of gossip, people quickly began to Staring at the Jiang family, he wanted to see if this was really the case.
Someone who was hiding behind the wall of Jiang's house at night actually saw Mrs. Jiang's female ghost, chasing Mr. Jiang and the fake Mrs. Jiang for their lives - this was naturally Linlang, in order to cooperate Public opinion in Beijing is the result of another attack.
It was confirmed that Mrs. Jiang’s female ghost was indeed seeking life in the Jiang family. The Jiang family’s story became more and more sensational, and even the palace heard about it. Because it involved a murder case, the emperor immediately ordered the three departments of Dali Temple, Jingcheng Yamen and the Ministry of Punishment to jointly review the case.
Ordinary people can find out that the Jiang family has this matter - of course, there is also the reason why Linlang provided evidence - the three-division interrogation quickly took control of the Jiang family, and then investigated the matter, plus Linlang How could the evidence provided secretly not be found out?
Soon, the Third Division found out what happened that year and reported it to the emperor.
The emperor saw this and couldn't help being furious. After all, Mr. Jiang was a third-rank official before - otherwise he would not have been able to marry the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He passed the Jinshi examination at a young age and has a promising future. His son, his grandfather, had a high official position before he became an official. Such a pillar of the country actually did such a thing, and people in the capital have heard about it. Doesn't this smear the image of a high official in the imperial court? Looking at the important ministers of the imperial court, one or two of them have caused such a thing. Outsiders would think that all the ministers of the imperial court are like this. How can this be done? The emperor will naturally be angry.
The emperor's verdict was soon handed down.
Mrs. Liu and the fake Mrs. Jiang were executed in Lingchi for the heinous crime of murdering the third-ranking wife of the imperial court.
Although Mr. Jiang personally killed his first wife, because he was a high-ranking official before, and the husband who killed his wife was generally not sentenced to death in this dynasty, the emperor was furious and thought that he had hurt the court's face, so he planned to punish him severely. , decided to deal with him, so the emperor gave him a decent treatment, only asking for execution after Qiu, but not Lingchi.
The original grandfather had already become an official and did not participate in the murder. However, he knew that Mrs. Liu and others had committed murder, but he hid it and refused to report it, and was exiled to the border.
As for the other members of the original grandfather's family, the emperor was not a fool. He knew that it was his grandfather who did the bad things and had nothing to do with them, so he did not sentence them.
Unlike the Jiang family, the other masters of the Jiang family are basically the children of the fake Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang. These people enjoy a life that does not belong to them, which can be regarded as stealing from the real Jiang. Everything that the eldest lady's children could enjoy, the emperor immediately killed them all - fortunately there were no particularly young ones, otherwise the emperor might have let the young ones go. After all, many emperors said that they would kill everyone in the family, but when they met the young ones, they would still Will let it go.
If any of the younger ones were to be spared, it would be a hot potato for Linlang, because all the Jiang family members were dead, and she would be the only adult Jiang family member. She would not take care of those children, which seemed callous, but If you want to take her... that would be too disgusting. After all, Mr. Jiang and the fake Mrs. Jiang killed her biological mother, and she still has to raise their children. Isn't this disgusting?
So fortunately all the children were no longer young, and the emperor killed them directly, which relieved Linlang's burden.
Then the Jiang family’s property, except Mrs. Jiang’s dowry, was confiscated by the emperor. Mrs. Jiang’s dowry was given to Linlang as an inheritance. After all, Linlang was also a victim, and the emperor could not possibly take all the things away. Take it away without leaving any for her.
Jiang, the daughter of the fake Mrs. Jiang, did not kill anyone, but it was considered an attempted murder. After all, if outsiders had not discovered this, judging from how she had been imitating Linlang, she would have killed her just like her mother. He tried to seize Linlang's position, but because it was an attempt, he was only sentenced to death.
