Chapter 669 Death of Mei Family (4)
The old lady glanced at him sideways and sighed: "Even if we inform them, our hatred has been forged and cannot be resolved no matter what. Therefore, there is no need to think about anything before and after. They have Huo Yuan." We don’t need to be afraid of supporting you. Not to mention that our own status is at stake here. Even if we are white, the General’s Mansion is still protecting us. If we really have to fight head-on, it’s not certain who will win and who will lose?”
It's not that the old lady is not afraid of Huo Yuan, but now that things have come to a point, there is no point in being afraid. If Huo Yuan really wants to avenge the Mu family and deal with them, he will never raise his hand just because they, Duke An Guo, show favor or weakness to him. In this case, there is no need to be afraid. Since the General's Mansion is here, she doesn't believe it. How can Huo Yuan dare to go against the General's Mansion?
"What about the two shops and Zhuangzi?"
Du Yongchun asked embarrassingly. What he was most concerned about was the affairs of the Mu family's two shops and a village.
He is not like the eldest and second eldest brother, who holds a fifth- or sixth-grade official position and gets a lot of salary and a lot of money every year. He is just an eighth-grade Hanlin Academy scholar, and he is married. At that time, the family was in a state of decline, so the wife he married, Dai, was not as good as his elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, and the dowry he brought was very limited. However, he had been used to being extravagant since he was a child, so the family only had concubines. They only raised four or five, and there were countless girls who lived in the same house. The yard was filled up by the concubines and concubines. Naturally, the household expenses were more than others, so life was often stretched. Therefore, they were particularly concerned about money matters. . Moreover, he has already made plans to open several shops in the Mu family!
The old lady snorted: "Both the Mu family's shop and the village were bought with money stolen from our house. Naturally, they cannot be returned to them. When the government makes a decision, the two shops and the village will be divided among you three brothers. .
The three brothers Du Yongzhi, Du Yongbang and Du Yongchun looked at each other with faint smiles in their eyes. Even the gentlemen and ladies standing behind the elders looked satisfied, and some even began to think about whether it would be better to have a shop or a village at home. If they wanted a shop, which one would be suitable... .
...
Yao Yuan was judged to have excellent medical skills. Soon after arriving at Bishui Villa, Wen'er was revived with acupuncture.
As soon as Wen'er woke up, Huo Yuan felt relieved and immediately told Suixi to prepare a car. He was going to Shuntian Mansion to see Mu Zhongqing's case!
According to the report from the boy he sent to Shuntian Mansion to investigate, when the Anguo Mansion reported the case, the charge given to Mu Zhongqing was theft. The Anguo Mansion claimed that Mu Zhongqing was raped by Mu Zhongqing when the Mu family lived in the Anguo Mansion. The family stole tens of thousands of taels of silver, all of which were used by the Mu family to open a shop and buy a village. They asked Master Yin of Shuntian Prefecture to make the decision and award the Mu family's shop and village to the Anguo Duke's Mansion as compensation and pay a heavy price. Sentencing Mu Zhongqing to serve as a warning to others!
Although these statements are somewhat absurd, Zhao Hongwang, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and Du Yongzhi, the eldest boss of Anguo Gongfu, are classmates, and they are cousins with Dai, the third wife of Anguo Gongfu. Therefore, when handling this case, it is determined that They would prefer to help Duke Anguo's government, not to mention that Mu Zhongqing was just a small scholar with no power in the capital. When it came to the court, whether it was black or white, it all depended on their words.
Fortunately, after Huo Yuan learned about this, he immediately sent a message to Master Fu Yin. He believed that Master Fu Yin would give him face and would not embarrass Mu Zhongqing!
When heading to Shuntian Mansion, many guards wearing flying fish uniforms suddenly appeared on the street, as well as many patrolling guards from the Supervisory Office. These people had tense faces and searched carefully among the passing crowds. The suspicious person was questioned carefully, but he didn't know what happened.
