Chapter 341
Chapter 341
My niece is beautiful, dignified, gentle and virtuous. After she gets married, she will not only be filial to her parents-in-law, but also work hard to earn money to support your studies, imperial examinations and making friends.
But as soon as you passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, you started to dislike her because she came from a merchant family and was not worthy of your position as the top scholar. You had an affair with Chen Fang, and you also thought my niece was an eyesore and took the position of the principal wife. Not only did you cruelly kill her, you even refused to let go of the two children she gave birth to!
Now, you actually have the nerve to threaten me! What, you think you're so great because you're a Hanlin scholar? I'm telling you, today I'll file a complaint with the emperor, even if it means risking my life, to seek justice for my brother and my family!
He spoke extremely loudly and kicked Xie Yun hard after he finished speaking.
Xie Yun staggered after being kicked by him, and his eyes instantly turned red with anger. He looked at him as if he was looking at a dead person!
He gritted his teeth. Luo Hongwang deserved to die!
Luo Hongwang felt particularly happy!
When Luo Hongde's family died out, the property left behind should have belonged to the Luo family. However, Xie Yun relied on his position as the top scholar and editor of the Hanlin Academy to force him to compromise and watched him take away most of Luo Hongde's inheritance.
Now, he finally has a chance to take revenge!
Even if he can only get 10% of the recovered property, it doesn’t matter.
As long as he could snatch the property back from Xie Yun, he would be happy to see Xie Yun in trouble!
When Xie Yun saw his twisted smile, he became even more furious: This lunatic!
He gritted his teeth secretly and thought quickly about his next strategy.
Before Xie Yun could come up with a solution, he heard Tu Yong's disdainful sneer.
Xie Yun looked at Tu Yong displeasedly. He saw that Tu Yong had his arms folded across his chest. Relying on his tall stature, he looked down at him condescendingly. "My dear relative, you'd better calm down. You are a Hanlin scholar after all. Don't make fun of yourself."
Xie Yun's eyes turned cold, and he was about to sneer back when he suddenly heard someone shouting -
"The Minister is back!"
He immediately realized something and turned his head to look over.
The Minister of Justice must have gone to the palace to consult Emperor Taihe. Now that he is back, I believe this farce will be over soon.
Emperor Taihe would not allow the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly investigate Luo Sheng's death in order to save Empress Chen's reputation.
Thinking of this, Xie Yun became proud and waited to see Luo Hongwang get into trouble.
Soon, the Minister of Justice walked in.
Xie Yun looked over expectantly, waiting to see him scold Luo Hongwang with a gloating look on his face.
As expected, the Minister of Justice walked up to Luo Hongwang and asked with a stern face, "Are you seriously going to sue Scholar Xie and his wife for murdering your first wife? And you're also going to hire someone to kill Luo Hongde's family and seize the Luo family's property?"
Luo Hongwang shrank his neck nervously: "No... not bad!"
The Minister of Justice asked again: "Do you have any evidence?"
Luo Hongwang pointed at Xie Xiu and said, "He...he saw it all! It was Chen Fang's wet nurse who killed my niece!"
The Minister of Justice said, "Since that's the case, let's prepare to proceed to court."
Xie Yun's face turned pale with horror: This is not what he thought!
Why is this happening?
Why did Emperor Taihe suddenly change his mind and decide to take action against Chen Fang?
What should he do now?
The Minister of Justice noticed Xie Yun's expression, but did not care. Since His Majesty asked him to conduct a thorough investigation, he naturally could not tolerate it.
He then quickly gave orders to bring all the people involved in the case to the Ministry of Justice for the trial.
Tu Jiaojiao also received the notice and went to the yamen with her family.
Xie Ying was hugged by Liu Zhichun, her eyes sparkling with excitement: [Ahhhhh, I'm actually going to court with Chen Fang! So exciting! I love it! They must be looking so good right now!]
……
Xie Mansion.
Old Madam Xie sighed for a while. Thinking about how the Black Qilin Guards broke into her house yesterday and took away the servants of Du Hengyuan, she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Because of this, she didn't sleep well last night and had nightmares all night.
I still feel uncomfortable all over.
Xie Xiu, this bastard, simply came back to collect debts!
