Jun Lixuan turned to look at Ling Hongzhi, wanting to see what he meant. After all, Uncle Wangyang is his father, and dealing with this matter in front of him, to put it bluntly, is a bit like slapping him in the face.
Ling Hongzhi behaved very calmly, and said, "If you have evidence, show it."
The man looked at Ling Hongzhi with disbelief, as if he was afraid of taking it out and being destroyed by someone. After a long while, he said, "Why should I trust you? If you destroy my things, the loss outweighs the gain."
Seeing that the man was not stupid, Ling Hongzhi said, "My lord is here, can I force it?"
The man's eyes wandered between the two for a while, and finally landed on Jun Lixuan, and asked, "Your Highness is really willing to make decisions for the little people?"
Jun Lixuan said expressionlessly: "If the evidence is true, I will present it to my father and give you justice. If it is false, slandering the court officials is a dead generation, you can judge for yourself."
"With the words of the prince, Xiaomin is relieved. What Xiaomin said is absolutely not false, otherwise he will die without a place to bury him." After speaking, the man took off his coat and borrowed a pair of scissors from Mingli. Then cut the lining. Between the inner lining and the outer cloth, there are several thin envelopes. It seems that the man separated the evidence and sewed it inside the clothes, so as not to appear thick and unnatural.
After finishing several envelopes, the man gave Jun Lixuan with both hands.
Jun Lixuan took it over, looked at it carefully, and gave Ling Hongzhi what he had finished reading. It's just that the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, with surprise, resentment, and even some worries that he didn't know how to express. Among these envelopes, some were letters written by Uncle Wangyang, and Ling Hongzhi could prove that they were indeed written by Uncle Wangyang. The letter has been aged for many years, the paper is slightly yellowed, and the ink is not as bright as new ink. Another part is a list, which records the names of the victims who were killed by Uncle Wangyang, or those who were involved in Uncle Wangyang. Including events, accomplices and details are also explained very clearly in the most concise language.
After reading these things, Jun Lixuan asked Ming Li to take it to the Nuan Pavilion to show Ling Qiyang.
Only then did the man speak again: "Xiaomin's surname is Wei, and his name is Shumian. My father used to be the magistrate of Kaizhou, and my father and Uncle Wangyang had a good relationship in the early years. Under Uncle Wangyang's persuasion, the two plus a few friends met when they were studying. Together they searched for money and resold rare treasures in Beijing. Because the matter has not been exposed, Uncle Wangyang became more courageous and continued to recruit others to join the gang. And some of the people he recruited saw that they wanted to make money, so they joined Some of them flatly refused after learning of his intentions. Uncle Wangyang was afraid that those who did not join the gang would tell the story, so he found all kinds of trumped-up charges on the other party, killing people, and his wife Ions scattered."
The man sighed and continued: "At that time old Uncle Wangyang was still there, and there was someone who supported him and carried him around. Uncle Wangyang also made a lot of money from it. Later, Uncle Wangyang passed away, and Uncle Wangyang I started to get worried, and then gradually withdrew. Later, I was afraid that these people who were his accomplices would betray him, so I simply got rid of them and then quickly. My father knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, so he sent me to a distant relative's house early, and lied that I died young, and handed over the letters he had exchanged with Uncle Wangyang and the list of victims over the years. After a year, my father was convicted and his family was executed, and I was the only one who survived."
Jun Lixuan never thought that Uncle Wangyang would have such courage. But thinking about it, the old man had to support him back then, even if he was wrong, the old man had to protect him. And it's hard to say how much of it was old Wangyang Bo's idea. Later, the old Wangyang Bo passed away, and the first emperor did not descend to the inherited position of Wangyang Bo for the sake of his merits.
Thinking about it, he has been mediocre all these years, but he has no worries about food and clothing. I am afraid that what he eats is also the capital of his greed.
"Actually, he didn't clean up those people. If the old Uncle Wangyang had gone later, he might have died. As for those who survived, think about the relationship between Uncle Wangyang and General Rong's mansion, and then consider the emperor's death. The imperial concubine is deeply favored by the emperor, so they all shut up, one thing more is worse than one thing less." The man also disdains the silence of those people.
With the limelight of the imperial concubine back then, even if those people wanted to say something, they had to weigh whether they were worthy enough. What's more, a large part of these people are wealthy households, not court officials, so it is even more difficult to expose them.
"The king will send someone to ask about this matter. If it is true, I will definitely give you justice." Although he also wanted to see the fall of Wangyangbo's mansion, he couldn't just listen to Wei Shumian's one-sided words.
"Thank you, my lord." Wei Shumian looked at Jun Lixuan with an upright expression, not afraid of Jun Lixuan's investigation at all.
At this point in the matter, Ling Hongzhi didn't want to defend Uncle Wangyang. Firstly, he felt that the evidence was not forged. Secondly, the idea of leaving Uncle Wangyang's mansion was still in his mind.
But having said that, he can ignore his father's affairs, but he still needs to ask clearly about other things, "What's the matter with you and Ling Jieyu?"
When it came to Ling Jieyu, Wei Shumian didn't look ashamed in the slightest, and said, "To be honest, although I really wanted to avenge my father, I never thought of hurting Ling Jieyu at first. There was a storyteller in a library, and Ling Jieyu came to listen to the book that day, and then he stalked me. He often came to the library without talking, and even asked people to bring things to me in private. Later, I tried my best, but I couldn’t find a place to avenge my father , I dare not publicize this matter, for fear that it will be silenced before I report it to Uncle Wangyang. After a few days of worrying, my mind got confused, and I hit her with the idea."
"I pretended to be touched by the beating and interacted with her in private. I originally thought that maybe I could get something out of her mouth, or use her to find someone who could help me avenge my grievances. Who knows that she only knows how to act coquettishly, and everything else helps me. No. Later Mrs. Wangyang made a marriage for her. I didn't do what he thought, but I just waited until she got married, and then I continued to do my work. Who knew that the night before she got married, she suddenly She ran here, crying and wanting to elope with me. I didn't agree, after all, I finally found a shelter in the capital, how could I abandon it so easily? Seeing that I was unmoved, she got angry and threatened that if I If you don’t take her away, go to the government and sue me for defiling her.”
Ling Hongzhi frowned while listening to Wei Shumian. To be honest, Wei Shumian looks good and looks elegant, he is indeed the type that girls will like. He just didn't expect Ling Jieyu to be so shameless and do such a shameful thing. But thinking about how she dared to enter Ling Qiyang and Jun Lixuan's room back then and lost everyone, she should have expected that she was not a safe girl.
"As a last resort, I had no choice but to take her away. Although I never touched her body, if she really went to sue me, even if I was innocent, Uncle Wangyang and his wife would definitely not let me go. I also I don’t want to put myself in danger.” Speaking of this, Wei Shumian smiled contemptuously, “Maybe God helped me, but she fell ill on the way. I hate her for threatening me first, causing me to run out of the capital with him, After all the hard work and the resentment towards Uncle Wangyang, I did nothing but leave her behind while she was seriously ill. I originally thought that if there were no rumors in a few days, I would go back to Beijing. After all, I No one else knew about the two of them. It's just that I didn't expect that they were finally arrested by Lord Lin's men."
After hearing what he said, Ling Hongzhi felt that Ling Jieyu had asked for it on his own. Although it was unjust for Wei Shumian to leave her behind, if he were him, he might not treat his enemy's daughter kindly. What's more, this woman threatened him.
"What are your plans?" For Ling Qiyang's sake, Jun Lixuan still asked Ling Hongzhi for his opinion.
Ling Hongzhi said without hesitation: "It's all up to the prince."
If he exposes this matter, even if it is justice, it will inevitably come true, after all, he and Uncle Wangyang are father and son. And if Prince Lin did it, he would be eradicating traitors for the country. After all, Prince Lin's Mansion and Uncle Wangyang's Mansion had nothing to do with each other.
Jun Lixuan thought for a while, nodded and said: "I will find out about this matter, and I will send someone to tell you. To ensure safety, Wei Shumian will send him back to the barracks first."
"Okay." Ling Hongzhi had no objection.
After finishing asking all the questions, Jun Lixuan asked someone to take Wei Shumian back quietly, and told him to keep an eye on his every move, and report anytime if there was anything unusual. The barracks are all their own people, so naturally they don't talk nonsense.
The time he stayed in Prince Lin's Mansion was not short, and Ling Hongzhi had to rush back to avoid any trouble at home, so he got up and said goodbye.
After seeing off Ling Hongzhi, Jun Lixuan came to the Nuan Pavilion. Since these evidences were brought in, Ling Qiyang didn't go out, and even Ling Hongzhi didn't go to see him off when he left.
Ling Qiyang sat on the small couch, holding those letters in his hands. And the name of "Tangxi Mansion" suddenly appeared on those letters. This surname is very rare in Ye country, let alone in father Ling's hometown. Ling Qiyang couldn't believe it, and didn't dare to show it to Father Ling. If father knew that the Tangxi family's downfall was caused by Uncle Wangyang's house, how would father deal with himself? !
Jun Lixuan gently pulled out the paper in Ling Qiyang's hand, stroked the top of his hair, and said, "I still have to tell Daddy about this. Daddy is a smart person, and he will definitely be able to control himself."
When he was looking at the evidence just now, he had already seen something about Ling's father's family, but he had to ask Ling's father to find out what happened.
"If Daddy knows that the person he married is actually an enemy, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it." Ling Qiyang pursed his lips.
Jun Lixuan hugged him and comforted him: "Daddy has the right to know. As for the follow-up matters, I don't have to worry about Daddy. If it is true, I will finish Uncle Wangyang."
Ling Qiyang hugged him back, and said in a muffled voice: "Thank you..." This person can always share everything for him, as long as the matter is related to him, Jun Lixuan will not ignore it.
"Fool. When I marry you back, I also hope that you can feel at ease by my side." Jun Lixuan said with a light smile.
Ling Qiyang nodded.
After the two embraced for a while, Daddy Ling and Gu Yao walked in.
Seeing the two get tired of being together, although the elders are happy, they also feel awkward.
Gu Yao would definitely not speak first, so Father Ling had no choice but to speak first, "Why did you two come here?"
The yard is very far away, if Luo Su hadn't told them how to get there, they might not have been able to find it.
Jun Lixuan let go of Ling Qiyang, with no embarrassment on his face, he just said: "Where did daddy and senior go?"
"Go out for a walk." Ling Qiyang's father didn't seem to want to mention it, seeing Ling Qiyang's hesitant expression, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ling Qiyang settled down and said, "Daddy, I have something to tell you."
"Let's talk." Papa Ling said.
"Li Xuan caught someone, and that person wanted to report to Uncle Yang, and gave us these evidences..." Ling Qiyang felt that it was hard to explain, so he put it simply, and then gave the evidence to Father Ling.
Daddy Ling passed the papers puzzledly, and looked down. It was okay at first, but the more I looked at it, the paler my face became, and finally I even started to tremble, as if I was going to faint...
"Daddy..." Ling Qiyang didn't know what to do, so he could only call helplessly.
Seeing that his face was almost pale, Gu Yao pulled the evidence in his hand and looked down. Seeing what happened afterwards, Gu Yao couldn't help clenching his fists and said, "So that's how it is..."
"He...he lied to me...he lied to me!!" Papa Ling muttered to himself at first, and then repeated the words "he lied to me" almost hoarsely. The almost mournful sound made Ling Qiyang feel scared and sad.
He had never seen such a father, so out of control, so sad, as if he couldn't get relief, dying and crying. It's just that there are no tears, only the reddened eye sockets.
Maybe because he felt Ling Qiyang's emotions, the little guy in his stomach also started to move around, as if comforting, or as if he was angry with Ling Qiyang.
Gu Yao threw the paper aside, hugged Father Ling tightly, and comforted him in a low voice: "It's okay, I will avenge you..."
Daddy Ling was still struggling at first, but finally lost his strength, nestled in Gu Yao's arms, and passed out...
"Daddy..." Ling Qiyang wanted to see his fainted daddy, but Gu Yao stopped him.
Gu Yao picked up Daddy Ling and placed him on the couch, "Let him sleep, it will be better when he sleeps."
Jun Lixuan never thought that her father, who was always restrained and refined, would lose control so much. After Ling Qiyang covered her father with a quilt, she asked, "Senior, what happened to Dad and Uncle Wangyang?"
Gu Yao sat by the bed, held Daddy Ling's hand in one hand, and said, "It's a long story..."
