Chapter 532 The downfall of the Xu family (1)

Lu likes to eat the white sponge cakes in the garden, which are soft, tough, sweet and delicious.

After taking a bite, Lu exclaimed: "The white pine cake in Xiangmanyuan has the most authentic taste. I always feel that something is missing when I eat it elsewhere."

Because the pastries inside are delicious, Lu sent someone to buy a box to eat every now and then.

As I was eating, I heard the rushing voice of the butler outside: "Big Grandma, Big Grandma is not good, the master is taken away by the people from the Censorate."

Lu's hand relaxed, and the white sponge cake in his hand fell to the ground.

At noon that day, Qingshu got the news: "Grandma, the master of the Xu family was taken away by the Censorate. It seems that Censor Lan has confirmed the evidence we provided."

The master of the Xu family was captured, and no one else in the Xu family could escape. When they fell, they could have avenged the great revenge of that year.

As Qingshu said, Lan Yi has indeed obtained evidence of the crimes committed by Xu Shaoqing and other people in the Xu family.

Since ancient times, there have been many people who have added icing on the cake, and few people who have helped in time. Moreover, this time the trial was Lan Yi, who has always been famous for his uprightness, and others don’t care about this matter.

Both father-in-law and husband were locked up. Lu took his son to ask all their in-laws and old friends, but unfortunately no one extended a helping hand.

In desperation, Lu went to find Lin Chengyu: "Cousin, please save my father-in-law and husband."

Lin Chengyu smiled bitterly and said, "You overestimate me. I am just a temple minister in Yuanma Temple, but I can't save my uncle and cousin."

Lu said, "Cousin, my father-in-law and husband used to treat you well, you can't stand by death and refuse to save you."

"If I could save it, I would definitely not refuse, but I was really powerless."

He did receive a lot of favors from the Xu family during the imperial examination. If he had separated his relationships now, others would think that he was indifferent and righteous.

Lu cried and said, "Cousin, you are the son-in-law of Zhongyonghou. As long as you are willing, you can definitely save them."

Lin Chengyu shook his head and said, "My cousin, I will find someone to handle the prison guards, so that my uncle and cousin will suffer less in prison. As for the others, please forgive me for being powerless."

What a joke? He didn't have a brain, how could he ask my uncle for the Xu family's affairs? He was about to use it on the blade, and even my uncle couldn't ask for something.

Even Lin Chengyu himself, he would only seek loyal and brave Marquis for his career.

No matter how Lu's begged, Lin Chengyu would not let go.

Looking at the haggard Lu family, Xu Shidan hesitated for a long time and said, "Auntie, do you think all this was done by Lin Qingshu?"

Xu Shiyi said after hearing this, "Shidan, you look down on Lin Qingshu too much. She, a daughter in the boudoir, has no such great energy. Besides, why did she harm her grandfather and uncle?"

Xu Shidan said: "When my cousin's birthday party that day, Lin Qingshu said that our Xu family..."

She couldn't say the words of a thief and a prostitute. Xu Shidan said vaguely: "She said we would be retribution sooner or later. When I said this in April, something happened to my uncle now. I always feel that it is impossible to be so coincidental."

Speaking of this, Xu Shidan asked Lu: "Auntie, have we made a grudge with Lin Qingshu?"

Lu's time was exhausted and she really didn't think about Lin Qingshu.

Now that I think this girl is really suspicious, but sincerity has always felt that it is impossible for Lu. The chief judge of this case is Censor Lan, how could Lin Qingshu invite her?

She called Butler Lu and said, "Are you sending letters from my hometown these days?"

Butler Lu shook his head and said, "No. But I had already sent a letter half a month ago. I calculated that someone in my hometown should be coming soon."

Sometimes I was afraid of anything. A few days later, Lu received news from Mr. Xu Er and Mr. Xu Liu and all adult men were imprisoned by the magistrate of Taifeng County.

Lu fell to the ground and said, "I didn't expect it was really her, it was really her."

When Xu Shidan heard that his brother was also arrested, she cried and said, "Auntie, what's going on? Why are the second uncle and my brother arrested?"

Mrs. Lu was originally upset, but when she saw them crying again, she couldn't help but scold: "Cry, cry, what else can you do besides crying?"

Xu Shidan asked while crying, "Auntie, what kind of deep hatred do we have with Lin Qingshu? She wants to harm us like this."

Lu said with a cold face: "What kind of enemies can we have with our Xu family have always been kind to others? It must be our enemies who instigated this girl."

The first one said that they were kind to others, and the later one said that they had enemies, which was completely contradictory.

Not to mention Xu Shiyi, who is scheming, even Xu Shidan, who is simple-minded, doesn’t believe it.

"Okay, don't make trouble here. You two, hurry up and go back to my house."

Although the two of them were anxious, they still returned to the house.

Lu's confidant Xia Pozi said, "Grandma, what happened at home is not really Lin Qingshu, right?"

If so, then this girl would be terrible.

Lu said with a calm face: "This girl cannot have that much energy. I suspect it was made by Mrs. Gu."

Mrs. Xia was shocked: "Can they know what happened before..."

As a confidant, I also know many secret matters.

Lu said: "I was wondering before why Mrs. Gu donated all her money. Now it seems that they had noticed it at the beginning, but they just endured it in secret."

When she said this, Lu was very upset. She did not take Qingshu's words seriously that day, otherwise she would not have been caught off guard.

Mrs. Xia asked, "Madam, what should I do now?"

Lu said: "The most urgent task is to see the master and see if he has a way to get out of trouble."

No matter how much the Xu family is, it is a family of scholars for a century, and there are still some available connections.

Mrs. Xia was a little worried: "Those people are too far away from us now, so how can they help us?"

Lu said with a cold face: "Just go to the prison, you can see it as long as you are willing to spend money."

The Xu family case was quickly sentenced, and the eldest grandfather and son of the Xu family were removed from office and removed from fame and fortune, and no further examinations were allowed within three generations of children and grandchildren.

When Lu heard that he could not take the imperial examination within three generations, he fainted immediately. The Xu family was a scholar, and the failure to take the imperial examination within three generations was equivalent to ruining their career path. After three generations, he was afraid that he would become an ordinary citizen.

Mrs. Gu was not satisfied with the result: "It shouldn't be a dismissal or exile, why is it just a dismissal or dismissal?"

This punishment is too light.

Qingshu was in a bad mood and said, "I asked, and Lu gave half of his property to Mrs. Xiao. Originally, Censor Lan wanted to sentence them to exile to Shengjing, but was later dismissed by the emperor."

"Grandma, it was the Feng Xu family who blew the pillow by Concubine Yu, so she was given a light sentence."

"What about the rest of the Xu family?"

Qingshu sneered: "Unless Lu is willing to give up his other half of his property, it is impossible."

The Xu family's big house cannot be tested for the third generation, and the whole family will rely on this money in the future. How could Lu abandon the remaining property for the other houses?
