Chapter 334: Continuing the Bai Family Case
Arrived at Fang’s house.
His Royal Highness Prince Ning and Eunuch Yao entered together without any invitation.
In the front hall.
When Mr. Fang saw the two important figures coming, he was so nervous that he couldn't close his mouth.
After looking left and right, he finally asked Qin Bingrui: "Miss Qin, what happened to you?"
Qin Bingrui shrugged and sighed: "It's a long story..."
Old Master Fang lowered his eyes and said, "Since it's too long, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go and have dinner..."
Everyone:......
There were two tables filled with people just for dining.
Xia Liang, Yan Xuan, Bai Lingyi and the children sat at one table, and the rest of the people sat at another table.
The Fang family hasn't been this lively for a long time.
Old Master Fang raised his wine glass and explained to Prince Ning and Eunuch Yao, "We in the Fang family have always made no distinction between men and women when dining. I hope Your Highness Prince Ning and Eunuch Yao will understand!"
Prince Ning responded with a toast: "The guest should follow the host's wishes. Mr. Fang, you are too kind."
Yao Zhangshi raised his glass and drank without saying anything nonsense.
Qin Bingrui raised his glass and drank it all, then wiped his mouth and said, "Are you two planning to stay at our Fang family's house tonight?"
Zhu Jinyou raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Eunuch Yao with a smile. This man was strange. Why did he live in someone else's house for no reason?
Chief Envoy Yao raised the cup in his hand and smiled: "I am following the Emperor's order to bring Miss Luo Yu back to the capital. What's wrong with keeping an eye on her for twelve hours?"
When Mr. Fang heard this, he was shocked. They actually wanted to catch someone in their Fang family?
"When did my Chu'er become Miss Luo Yu?"
"..."
"Mr. Fang, it's a long story. I'll let your good granddaughters tell you slowly tomorrow."
"Master Yao, we don't have that much space to accommodate people in our mansion. If you don't mind, how about I have my son arrange for you to stay in a nearby inn?"
Zhu Jinyou interrupted at this time: "Mr. Fang, if you don't mind, you can let Miss Luo Yu live in my house."
Including Old Madam Fang, Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang, everyone turned their eyes to Zhu Jinyou. What was going on?
Luo Yu laughed dryly: "It's a long story..."
In the end, Qin Bingrui refused with a domineering remark, "There are too many female members in the Fang family, and it is not easy to accommodate too many guests."
She glanced at Mei Zhengyan and Mei Yaoer vaguely, with a smile on her lips. Eunuch Yao endured it again and again before agreeing to stay at a nearby inn.
After finishing his meal and seeing Eunuch Yao off, Luo Yu patted his chest and said, "Why is Eunuch Yao suddenly acting so strangely? He actually wants to live in the Fang residence?"
"I'm afraid he's thinking about escaping as you get closer and closer to the capital. Besides, you have the support of the Rui Palace, so he's afraid that if something goes wrong..."
Luo Yu turned around and glanced at Zhu Jinyou, who was grinning sinisterly behind him, and said angrily, "Why are you still here? Do you want to live in our Fang family too?"
"I need to have a good talk with the elders of the Fang family on your behalf. You can no longer use the identity of Miss Bai."
Qin Bingrui made two "tsk tsk" sounds, waved his hand, and returned to the "Piaolingshe" where he used to live in the house.

It is said that when Mr. Shi woke up early in the morning, he felt his right eyelid twitching non-stop.
He knew that Prince Ning and Envoy Yao had entered Liangzhou City from the south yesterday, but he was more aware of the seriousness of the situation, so it was better not to provoke this matter casually.
But when he woke up from his sleep, he heard someone beating drums outside the government office to complain about his grievances.
The people who were complaining about their grievances were actually the Bai family's eldest wife, Fang, and her son, Bai Lingyi. Behind them were Miss Bai and Miss Qin, His Royal Highness Prince Ning, Chief Envoy Yao, and the entire Fang family, young and old, along with a large crowd of onlookers...
Mr. Shi's headache worsened...
Soon, the news of the Bai family case spread to everyone in Liangzhou City.
The current Miss Bai is not Bai Fengchu from the eldest wife of the Bai family. The real Bai Fengchu had been murdered long ago. Miss Bai replaced Bai Fengchu's identity just to find out the truth.
But no one knows what the white girl's name is.
After the trial, Lord Shi was led by Qin Bingrui, along with the yamen runners and coroners, to a cliff valley two hundred kilometers away to dig up the bodies of Bai Fengchu and the maid.
Lord Shi didn't dare to refuse, and Yao Chengshi of the Imperial City Bureau was actually willing to follow them to see the truth.
Along the way, Lord Shi muttered to himself: "The crime was clearly committed in the Muzhou area, why did I have to get involved in this case?"
Mr. Yuan, the accompanying lawyer, patiently analyzed: "The Bai family's eldest branch's household registration has now been moved to Liangzhou City. It is only right that we, the Liangzhou government office, should take over this case."
Lord Shi's face was grim, his teeth were gnashing, and he was itching with hatred.
"Muzhou Bai Family, don't you know who the Bai Family's Second Branch is connected to? If I were to provoke them, would I be risking my life? If I had known earlier that this Bai Fengchu was a fake, I would not have agreed to the Bai Family's First Branch's household registration returning to Liangzhou to establish its own independent residence."
How could Master Yuan not know? It seemed that they were all tricked by the girl who replaced Bai Fengchu.
But, does Eunuch Yao really not know what level of relationship the second branch of the Bai family relies on?
Or was it that Eunuch Yao was also being used by these two cunning women?
Eunuch Yao naturally didn't care whether this case implicated the Empress. The key question was why Miss Luo Yu had connections with the Empress. Who was Miss Luo Yu, and how did she get to know the Empress?
The Queen and His Royal Highness Prince Ning are clearly two factions that are incompatible with each other, so why are these two girls able to establish a relationship with each other?
So weird!
*
Two days later, the team arrived at the place where the accident happened to the eldest branch of the Bai family.
Prince Ning Zhu Jinyou has already sent someone to notify Lord Cao, the governor of Muzhou Prefecture, to come.
Qin Bingrui couldn't help but sigh that if he wanted to resolve this ordinary citizen's case quickly, he still needed a backstage, otherwise he didn't know how long it would take just to go through the process.
If they had not encountered the Bai family's accident at that time, the Bai family's case would probably have been slowly covered and obliterated by the dust of time.
When the bodies of the real Bai Fengchu and the maid were dug out based on the clues provided by Bai Lingyi, everyone sighed.
Because they were buried without a coffin, the corpses decayed rapidly in the soil, leaving only two skeletons. However, the clothes on the corpses were intact, and it was vaguely visible that Bai Fengchu was wearing fine brocade, and her headdresses and hairpins were the latest styles in Muzhou City last year. This was all evidence.
When Qin Bingrui dug out the corpse, he took advantage of everyone's inattention and stuffed the red agate gold ring into Bai Fengchu's palm, which had turned into bones.
The bodies of Bai Fengchu and her maid, as well as all their belongings, were taken to the Muzhou government office as evidence in court.
Bai Lingyi wiped away his tears with his hands. Fang and the Fang family cried together.
After nearly a year, the real Bai Fengchu saw the light of day again, and her soul returned to the family that loved her. Qin Luosheng couldn't help but tear up.
Zhu Jinyou secretly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve. Since he had spent a few days of hard time in the mountains last time, he now carries a handkerchief with him.
He approached Luo E and secretly put the handkerchief into Luo E's hand, but he didn't expect that Qin Bingrui stood up after finishing his work. He took the handkerchief from Luo E's hand with the hand that had touched the corpse and wiped his hands. Then he blew his nose and his voice was hoarse and sad.
"Sister, it's great that Miss Bai has finally been vindicated! Woohoo, her spirit in heaven should be able to forgive our helpless actions back then! Woohoo, Miss Bai, little maid, Sister Luo Yu, Xiao Yi and I can finally avenge you. We have done what we said..."
Originally, only the Fang family, young and old, were crying together, trying their best to hide their regret and grief. But unexpectedly, Qin Bingrui's heart-wrenching cries made everyone cry with him.
Even Eunuch Yao couldn't help but sigh, life is easy to end like the morning dew, and the world is unpredictable.
The two girls were able to do this for someone they met on the road. This is a rare act of righteousness in the world! He is also a flesh-and-blood person. Although he works for the emperor with ruthlessness, human emotions are complicated...
The group followed the case to the prefectural government office in Muzhou City. Lord Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief and handed the case over to Lord Cao, the prefect of Muzhou. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I was moved just now, I still had to rely on evidence when the case was tried in court.
At 5 p.m. that day, Mr. Bai and his wife, Mrs. Deng, from the second branch of the Bai family, were brought into the government office by yamen runners.
What we want is to catch them off guard.
Deng was an extremely arrogant and domineering person. She had never restrained her temper when she was the second wife of the Bai family. Ever since all the people from the main branch of the Bai family were cleared out, and with the backing of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, she became even more arrogant and looked down on everyone. She was the only one in power in Muzhou City.
Now that she was being escorted into the government office by a group of yamen runners, she was naturally furious and kept cursing at the runners all the way.
"What qualifications do you have to arrest me? If you have the guts, ask your governor, Lord Cao, to come over here, you bunch of bullies."
The leading yamen runner knew the Bai family's background very well and did not dare to treat them badly. They just escorted the people into the court without saying anything. However, the people who came to watch the excitement did not mind the big deal and talked about it all the way.
"The second branch of the Bai family is in trouble. I heard that the eldest lady of the Bai family came from her parents' home in Liangzhou City this time, and the Fang family is helping her fight this lawsuit."
"The Fang family's free library has a good influence across the country. I think anyone with a conscience will stand on the side of the Bai family's eldest branch."
"That's right. This world needs justice. The second branch of the Bai family is too arrogant and domineering!"
Everyone knows that the prices in Muzhou are almost monopolized by the Bai family. Now that the second branch of the Bai family is in trouble, everyone is eager to step in and step on it, regardless of whether there is evidence or whether they can be convicted.
The chief steward of the second branch of the Bai family immediately sent people to rush to the capital overnight to seek help from the family of the second wife of the Bai family, Deng. The Deng family would definitely find a way to find a solution by contacting the Anguo Mansion.
Just see which side is faster...
