When night fell, many shops lit up on both sides of a street that was more than ten miles long. In this era of high lighting costs, I am afraid that only this ancient city is so prosperous, making it seem like daylight.

The situation of Xu Yuanwai's case was soon spread in the capital by people with good intentions, and the scholars and people in the capital knew the whole story. They knew that Lin Haoran was too young and impulsive and eager to prove himself, and as a result, he almost wronged a good person and caused an unjust, false and wrongful case.

"Lin Wenkui's knowledge is unmatched, but this is a ...... Hehe! ”

"It's ridiculous that just because the two brothers have similar faces, they should be tried in public with great fanfare!"

"The leaves on the tree are all the same, isn't one leaf guilty and the leaves of the world are the same?"

……

In a certain restaurant, there is no shortage of high-minded scholars, and the spearhead is directed at Shuntianfu Cheng Lin Haoran. They already believed the testimony of the fat businessman, Xu Yuanwai was just similar to his brother Xu Dafa, and was arrested by Lin Haoran and put on trial by the government office.

It's only been a day, but it's getting worse. Since ancient times, it has been "literati and people are light", or Lin Haoran has been beautiful for too long, and there are more and more scholars who attack Lin Haoran.

From the initial questioning to the facts, everyone decided that Lin Haoran's judgment of the case was a "layman", and almost created an unjust, false and wrongful case.

Not only those enthusiastic scholars, but also some highly qualified Confucians couldn't help but stand up and say: "This Lin Wenkui can win the top prize, he is naturally a smart person, but this case is a layman after all, but he can't help but make such jokes!" ”

"He finally didn't get dizzy, saved the face of the Shuntian Mansion, and didn't get his money from that woman!"

Suddenly, Lin Haoran's reputation was greatly damaged. Although no one denied his talent, he was really labeled as "not good at judging cases", which can be regarded as ruining his future.

If this kind of thing is in Guangdong, it will inevitably make people laugh, who doesn't know that Lin Haoran's judgment of the case has unpredictable powers. It's a pity that it is the capital high above at the moment, but not many people question these words.

Huaishu Hutong, Xufu.

This humble mansion has gradually become a place of yearning for officials. Many officials came with gifts, eager to enter the mansion and do everything possible to be summoned by its owner.

After Xu Jie's dinner, he stayed in the study as usual, either reading a book or writing a green word. It's just that I've been dealing with government affairs during this time, even if I'm idle, my mind can't help but think about some political affairs.

It's just that the biggest problem of Daming is that the essence is still on "money". All kinds of resettlement disasters cost money, water conservancy projects cost money, encirclement and anti-thieves also cost money, and the emperor even more money costs money to build Taoist buildings, and there is almost no place where he does not open his mouth to ask for money.

Seeing Yan Song getting older day by day, he is getting closer and closer to the position of the first assistant, and the thing he is facing now is not only how to replace Yan Song, but also how to solve the most urgent financial problems.

The wandering of the Hubu Shangshu is not only a problem of this position, but also a direct reflection of the financial problems of the imperial court. Only when this problem is solved, so that the Holy One does not need to worry about financial problems, can he sit firmly in this position.

Just trying to solve this problem, but how easy is it to talk about it? Unless......

It was when the time of trouble came that the butler came in from outside.

Xu Fan and Jiang Yuebai walked into the study together, and both of them looked respectful. In particular, Xu Fan did not have the slightest arrogance outside, and in front of his father, he seemed to be well-behaved.

"I've seen Master Yue!" After Jiang Yuebai walked in, she saluted respectfully towards Xu Jie.

After three years of his career as a scholar, he finally came out and became the editor of the Hanlin Academy. This grade is naturally not high, but the official character of the cichen is as detached as that of the official of the Daoyan department.

As long as he can be promoted step by step in the Hanlin Academy, he will be able to use the Ministry of Rites as a springboard for his career, and he will be able to successfully enter the cabinet in the future, so he can be regarded as a genuine store.

Xu Jie's gaze fell on the personable Jiang Yuebai, and found that this grandson-in-law's appearance was indeed good, and he was much more energetic than before, so he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Since Xu Jie stayed in Xiyuan last night, and it was not a big event, he didn't know about Lin Haoran's encounter. After Xu Fan came in, he immediately said the matter with a smile on his eyebrows.

Xu Jie knew about Xu Yuanwai's affairs, and there was no joy on his face, but he ordered seriously: "After this incident, let him not go back to Songjiang, and go directly to Jiangsu to find a place to be incognito!" ”

"Okay, I'll take care of it!" Xu Fan knew that Xu Erfa couldn't use it anymore, so he said even if he was full of promises.

With the energy of their Xu family, it is naturally a simple matter to find a place to settle a person in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At that time, Xu Erfa will not return to Huating County, and no one will know the truth of this matter at all.

Jiang Yuebai was puzzled, but seeing that the father and son didn't mean anything, naturally they wouldn't ask more. After all, he hasn't really integrated into the family yet.

"Xu Yuanwai is indeed the murderer Xu Dafa!" Xu Jie is a person who is all-encompassing, and let Jiang Yuebai have a clear attitude, and then take the initiative to follow Jiang Yuebai to make it clear.

Jiang Yuebai was slightly surprised, but he was more happy in his heart, because he finally had a feeling of being his own person, but he replied calmly: "There will be no problem with his disguised identity, right?" ”

"It's seamless! I'm afraid that kid doesn't know that Xu Dafa only stayed in the capital for a month four years ago, and there are probably only a handful of people who can remember him! Xu Fan replied confidently.

After Jiang Yuebai heard this, he knew that the people in the capital recognized Xu Yuanwai, and I am afraid that it was really very rare, especially Xu Yuanwai now has one more witness, but he suddenly asked again: "I heard that there was an ugly-looking woman in the public court that day, saying that she recognized Xu Yuanwai!" ”

Hey?

When Xu Jie heard this, he turned his head to look at his son, who had just concealed this paragraph.

"Dad, there's such a thing! Xu Dafa didn't recognize the woman at all, and after investigation, I found out that the woman was trying to save her son, so she wanted to use this to cheat some money! Xu Fan looked disapproving.

Jiang Yuebai was also worried about angering this father-in-law, and hurriedly replied: "I see, I have heard about this too!" ”

Xu Jie nodded noncommittally, then looked at Jiang Yuebai and asked seriously: "Dazhi, you and Lin Ruoyu are senior brothers, what do you think of him?" ”
