Chapter 417 Each arrangement
Mrs. Li was still panicked and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
Why did you reach this point?
"Master," said Mrs. Li, "Let's think of another way, otherwise I will find an uncle or nephew from my parents' home to take the blame."
"Many people from the side tribe are willing to do such things. At worst, they can give them more money."
"Then Manager Li has his wife and children at my parents' home. The master asked someone to send him a message. As long as he doesn't talk nonsense, he can give his wife and children a sum of money."
On the contrary, his wife and children will not have a good ending.
Xia Mengxian closed his eyes. These are excellent solutions, but unfortunately...
"The officials have already known it," Xia Mengxian said, "I will write a memorial tomorrow and resign from my official position."
If the official is willing to give him a decent person, everything will end here.
If the Shen family is aggressive, he will inevitably have to go to the prison.
Mrs. Li finally understood what the problem was: "How can the government let the government know?"
Xia Mengxian has not yet understood whether someone was calculating behind the scenes or accidentally bumped into Shen Siniang's case.
It was like a disaster that caught him off guard.
The appearance of Wang Yan appeared in Xia Mengxian's mind. Standing next to the official's house, he was even more annoying than Wang Bingchen.
I am not afraid of his high position and power, but I am afraid of his successors.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for the Wang family to deal with.
Xia Mengxian clenched his hands.
When Xia Mengxian went to the study, Mrs. Li grabbed her daughter: "What should I do?"
Xia Erniang advised her mother: "Don't worry, as long as dad comes back properly, there will be a chance in the future."
"There are also officials who were taken away from their official positions and later re-engaged. The official family is just angry for a moment. In a few years, this matter has completely passed. I will ask someone to help me mention my father again in front of the official family. Then my father will be able to take the position again."
Mrs. Li was in a little calmer mood. She looked at her daughter: "If you can marry into the Xie family, with Xie Shumi's ability, you will definitely be able to help. Your two brothers, Yue's family, are both outside Beijing, and this may depend on you."
Xia Erniang looked at Mrs. Li: "My daughter knows."
If my father had such a thing, even if he could get out of the predicament in the future, he would have to wait for several years. By then, she would have passed the age of marriage, so she could only grasp it. Her father was still a marriage contract set by the Minister of Justice. For her, this was the best choice.
...
Xie family.
After dark, Xie Shumi returned home.
Something happened to Xie Cheng gave up, and the Xie family got the news early in the morning, so neither Zhou nor Xie Chengxin had a rest and had been waiting for Xie Shumi to come back.
"Father," Xie Chengxin spoke first, "How is the second brother? When can I go home?"
Xie Shumi did not respond, but went into the house and changed his official robe first, then cleaned his hands, and then said, "The Ministry of Justice has not found out yet."
"My second brother must be implicated," Xie Chengxin said, "Did you ask for your father?"
Xie Shumi said lightly: "No."
Xie Chengxin was about to speak again, and Xie Shumi said, "Don't ask, stay at home honestly. Do you know how many people are involved in this case?"
"Everyone is in danger of this matter. If your second brother is indeed related to this case, I will ask the court to deal with it strictly."
Xie Chengxin's face immediately changed: "How can my father do this?"
Xie Shumi said in a deep voice: "The official family personally inquired about this matter and directly beat the clerk to the Secretariat. The ministers of the Secretariat were still gathered at Wang Bingchen's home to discuss matters."
"Near tomorrow morning, Xia Mengxian will apologize for resignation. Don't mention your second brother, if you were implicated, I wouldn't reach out at this time."
Now it was Zhou's turn to take a deep breath: "How could it alarm the official family?"
"You will know in a few days," Xie Shumi did not want to say much. "It's not just the official family, but the Cining Palace is also staring at it. No one dares to plead at this time." After a moment of silence, Xie Shumi's tone was eased a little: "I got some news, so that Brother was indeed innocently involved, but what exactly is it, I have to wait for the Ministry of Justice to find out."
"If he did nothing wrong, he will be released soon."
Xie Chengxin immediately showed joy and felt relieved.
Xie Shumi waved his hand and said, "Go back and rest!"
After sending his son away, Xie Shumi took out two jade pendants from his sleeve and placed them on the table.
"This is..." Zhou was a little puzzled.
A pair of carved lotus leaf mandarin duck jade pendants usually give each other such objects when the two families get engaged.
Xie Shumi looked calm and said, "It was sent by someone from the Xia family."
What this is intended to be self-evident.
Xia Mengxian lost his official position, but wanted to tie the Xie family up.
"I had refused to agree to this marriage before, but now something happened, I remember our family," Zhou frowned, "The master cannot agree. How can my eldest son marry the daughter of a criminal?"
Xie Shumi didn't say anything.
Zhou immediately became nervous: "Can the master really want to get this marriage?"
Xie Shumi said, "I don't want to do so, but I'm afraid I can't help myself."
He would naturally refuse, but if that person spoke up for the Xia family, how could he disobey the man's intention? It would be great if Er Niang could marry into the royal palace as soon as possible. Then there was an extra layer of relationship, so he didn't have to be so cautious.
There is more than one trouble.
Earlier today, Xie Chengrang found him and mentioned to him about the Xie family in Daming Prefecture. He was going to go to the yamen in a hurry. He was about to go to the yamen and called Chengrang over to ask in detail after he was about to go to the yamen. Unexpectedly, Chengrang was sent to the jail.
Xie Shumi instructed Zhou: "Be careful recently. If the prince of the county comes to ask, just tell him that the brother has nothing to do with this case."
Zhou nodded.
Xie Shumi said again: "If you have the chance, let the prince of the county talk to his second wife."
The Zhou family naturally agreed.
Xie Shumi turned around and went to the study to handle official duties, but when he entered the door, he did not go to read the official documents immediately, but walked to the window and looked out.
It was drizzling tonight, and a flash of lightning flashed by, reflecting Xie Shumi's increasingly serious face.
He always felt that something was going to happen.
...
It rained all night, and Xie Yuyan slept very soundly as he listened to the drizzle outside.
When I woke up early in the morning, I heard Yu's mother talking to Zhang.
"There is someone coming to Yunqi Temple. We want to take back our land."
Zhang said, "Is it because the body was dug out?"
Yu's mother responded: "The temple said that we built pavilions, built yards and private roads, and we will compensate us for some money, but... we have to discuss with the temple for some amount of compensation."
Xie Yuyan got up and pulled the bell, and Yu's mother hurriedly took her clothes and went into the door to serve.
Xie Yuyan said, "I'll ask Xiaoshan to get the account later. I'll go to Yunqi Temple."
Yu's mother was a little surprised: "My wife wants to go in person?"
"Well," Xie Yuyan said, "Master Zhiyuan is coming to Beijing. I always have to find a place for him."
