People should look forward to the future, but they couldn't always focus on money.
Fang had never been an educated man, so it was normal that he couldn't keep up with the times. Therefore, it was necessary to help him establish a correct outlook on life and values. For example, money could never be used up. When the time was right, he should give back to the society by helping the people perform for free, so that they could enjoy a 5D movie experience. Although he would lose money, he would be giving back to the society, which would help him realize his self-worth.
Looking at his confused face, Chen Fan knew that he didn't understand.
But this was not a big deal. The current Old Fang's state of mind was much higher than before. He did good deeds without leaving his name, risked his life, and used his private money to support a single girl for three years without asking for anything in return. Even in this era where people's hearts were not so fickle, it was still very rare.
"This world doesn't give the poor a chance to live!"
"Earth, you don't know what's good for you! Heaven, you don't know what's good for you! "
"I don't want to shed even half a star of blood in the mortal world. If I have a stomach full of resentment, I will feel the six ice flowers rolling like a brocade, so that my body won't be exposed. From now on, the Chu Zhou City will suffer from three years of drought!"
…
Inside the brothel, someone would stand up and shout from time to time. This was a typical example of someone who was too engrossed in the scene and placed himself in it. There was no need for the staff of the brothel to remind them at all. Someone beside them would press them down so that they wouldn't spoil everyone's interest.
In another brothel, in a remote corner, the man handed a handkerchief to the middle-aged man next to him and sighed. "Lord Five, wipe your tears."
The middle-aged man wiped his tears and heaved a sigh. "Well done!"
"It's a good performance …" The burly man nodded. If he didn't know that this was a play, he would have rushed up and punched that dog official to death with three punches when blood was splashed on the white rope and snow was flying in the sixth month of June.
The middle-aged man stared at the stage and murmured, "Dou E's grievances could be redressed, but I wonder how many more people's grievances are still buried in the darkness …"
The burly man shook his head and said, "The imperial court is already vigorously investigating the unjust and false cases. Those filthy and ugly fellows hiding in the dark will one day be dragged out and exposed to the sun …"
The middle-aged man nodded. "Yes, the sun is about to rise …"
…
"How could it be? How could she sue the Ministry of Justice?"
Cui Qingming's face was filled with rage. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground and the tea splashed everywhere. He gasped for breath and loudly said, "Last time, we have already lost an assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. Now, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, Liu Yizhi, is only following that person's orders. That woman is still in prison, how could such a thing happen!"
"She caused trouble twice a few days ago and has already attracted the attention of some people. Without a reason, we can't keep her in prison forever." Ceng Shichun shook his head and said, "I thought she would be more obedient after being locked up for so long. Who would have thought that as soon as she went out, the people following her were not paying attention and made her kneel in front of the Ministry of Justice …"
Cui Qingming returned to his seat and calmed down for a while. Then, he said in a deep voice, "I will take care of this case. Otherwise, if it really gets investigated, not to mention Chu Ping, even you, the capital governor, will not be able to protect yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a runner came in to report that the Ministry of Justice had arrived.
Cui Qingming suddenly stood up from his seat, his face full of shock. "How could it be so fast?"
…
The case of Miss Shuang Shuang of the Wonderful Sound Pavilion quickly had new developments.
The case file of the capital governor's office that had accepted the case was full of loopholes and could not withstand scrutiny. The coroner who had examined the corpse also revealed the truth under the interrogation of the Ministry of Justice.
That night, Miss Shuang Shuang was not killed by the criminal. Instead, she was tortured and humiliated to death. As for why the murderer was said to be the criminal who might not have appeared, they would have to ask the young master of the Chu family who was in the same room as Miss Shuang Shuang.
The Cui family.
A middle-aged man slammed the table and said angrily, "How could there be such a big oversight? Does Ceng Shichun not have a brain? Doesn't he know what time it is?"
Then, a suspicious expression appeared on his face and he muttered, "Could it be Ceng Shichun …"
"What good does this do for him?" Cui Qingming shook his head and said, "This case has attracted the attention of the court and the people. If it is found out, not only will he lose his position as the capital governor, but he will also lose his official position …"
The middle-aged man revealed a defeated expression. "That Liu Yiyi is a ruthless character. It is said that there is no case that he cannot solve. This time, I'm afraid that the Chu family … One Chu family, one capital governor, we …"
Cui Qingming clenched his fists and asked through gritted teeth, "What's the situation with the Chu family?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "The Ministry of Justice has not summoned Chu Ping for the time being, but it should be soon … In that place, no matter how tight-lipped one is, it is inevitable …"
"What about that matter?"
"The people … no longer trust the Chu family. Even those great scholars do not dare to risk universal condemnation and speak casually. After all, this case has too many implications, and the situation is not optimistic."
Cui Qingming thought for a long time and loosened his fists. He slowly said, "The Chu family can't be saved, but the capital governor may not …"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Will we also be dragged into this matter?"
Cui Qingming shook his head and said, "Ceng Shichun is a smart man. He knows what to do."
…
The Ministry of Justice investigated cases very quickly, and this case was extremely fast.
They had no choice but to act quickly. The entire capital was watching the progress of the case, so they did not dare to delay.
And this case was actually not complicated.
There was no need to summon the grandson of the grand tutor. The several bailiffs of the capital government who knew about the case confessed everything not long after they were brought to the Ministry of Justice.
They had indeed been pursuing a criminal that day, but the criminal had not been in the Fine Sound Pavilion. They had accidentally stumbled upon young master Chu's deed, only to discover to their shock that young master Chu, who liked to play tricks, had accidentally strangled the young lady to death.
What happened next was logical. The Chu family was a famous noble family in the capital. How could they tolerate such a stain on a member of their family? Naturally, they used the power of the family to cover up this matter.
Thus, the cause of Lady Shuang Shuang's death became a crime committed by a fugitive. The young master of the Chu family, who was originally the murderer, suddenly became the victim.
In order to cover up the truth, they quickly disposed of Lady Shuang Shuang's body. When Lady Shuang Shuang's sister went to the yamen to complain, they were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they also arrested her and threw her into prison …
Adding insult to injury, this was simply insane!
The "Injustice of Dou E" was just a play and could not be taken seriously, but Lady Shuang Shuang's grievance had really happened right beside them. They had heard it with their own ears, seen it with their own eyes, and had always been paying attention …
And during the course of the trial, the bailiffs of the capital government revealed another secret that further solidified Chu Ping's crime.
Not long ago, the disappearance of a girl that had caused an uproar actually also had the shadow of this young master of the Chu family. However, this matter was still concealed by the all-powerful Chu family.
It was precisely because of this young master of the Chu family's perverted hobby that Lady Shuang Shuang had died a wrongful death.
"Lady Shuang Shuang, Lady Shuang Shuang Shuang must have been forced by that beast …"
"No wonder, no wonder it snowed on the night of the Lantern Festival. I originally thought that it was a strange phenomenon that happened once every few decades, but it turns out that the heavens were crying out for Lady Shuang Shuang's injustice!"
"To think that I had always thought that the Chu family was the backbone of our Jing Kingdom, that Grand Tutor Chu was a just and righteous person, but who would have thought, who would have thought …"
"He still has the cheek to say that Lord Li is a sycophant? What has Lord Li done? He has made great contributions to the country and the people, but he is not the least bit proud of it. He has even repeatedly resigned from his position and refused to be rewarded … And what about him? He covered up for his descendant, causing such a huge injustice. How can he still be called a 'scholar'!"
"He even wants to frame Lord Li, the pillar of our Jing Kingdom. If not for Prime Minister Qin and the other officials in the imperial court, I'm afraid …"
"Sycophant, this is a true sycophant!"
"Old and undying, a great traitor to the country!"
…
In the court, Liu Qingtian slammed the gavel. "Summon Chu Ping."
A few bailiffs quickly walked out of the main gate and headed towards the Chu family.
At first, there were only a few people following behind them. Soon, it became ten, then a hundred. After passing through an alley, the crowd behind them could no longer be seen …
