For this cousin of the Yan family, the original owner left Yan Xuehuai five more words in addition to the four words "Pride of Heaven":

My father loves him very much!

That's right, in the original owner's memory, his father Yan Zhaoshi regarded Yan Jingxiu as his own.

Yan Jingxiu was born with Yuxue when she was a child. Yan Zhaoshi taught him to recognize words, and he remembered it after teaching him. Not only that, when Yan Jingxiu was five or six years old, she ran to the private school in the village to play, standing outside the window and listening to the teacher's teaching, which was fascinating.

Later, Yan Zhaoshi got married with Li Qiniang. With the remaining money in his hand, he took Yan Jingxiu with him and taught him personally. Later, Yan Zhaoshi was admitted to the juren, and the Yan family moved into the county town, leaving only Yan Zhaoshan and the Sun family to farm in the countryside. Yan Jingxiu went to the county school to study, and Yan Zhaoshi would bring him with him when he had social events. Two years ago, Yan Jingxiu followed Ye Sheng to Xinjing, and Yan Zhaoshi even sent him over thousands of miles away and also set up a house in Luoguxiang for Yan Jingxiu to live in.

Speaking of which, Yan Jingxiu spent much more time with his second uncle Yan Zhaoshi than with his parents.

When Yan Xuehuai was a child, Yan Jingxiu was five years older than her and was a boy. The two could not play together. When Yan Xuehuai was eight or nine years old, Yan Jingxiu moved into the county school and later came to Xinjing again, and the two had almost no contact.

Yan Xuehuai couldn't understand why Yan Jingxiu suddenly appeared here.

But Sun and Mrs. Guo who had just woken up were ecstatic. Mrs. Guo no longer had the strength to cry loudly. She burst into tears: "Jing Xiu, my good grandson, you are here. You have to make the decision for your grandmother. My grandmother was wronged!"

The prefect's mouth twitched. What does it mean? I have wronged you?

Sun had learned a lesson, but he didn't dare to speak anymore, just looking at Yan Jingxiu who was slowly entering with hope.

Yan Jingxiu took them out of sight, so he lifted up his robe and knelt down: "Student Yan Jingxiu is now a student of Shuren Academy, and he is a child born in the fourth year of Baokang."

Seeing that he was handsome and gentle, he was completely different from the other people in the Yan family, the prefect felt a little more affection and asked in a warm voice: "Yan Tongsheng, where is the evidence you mentioned?"

Yan Jingxiu bowed again and said, "On the same day, the second aunt and her cousin were separated on the way to Beijing. The student's uncle was extremely anxious and asked someone to spend a lot of money to search. The person who went to search found the body of a mother and daughter. He mistakenly thought that the second aunt and her cousin had died. The uncle was heartbroken and waited for the body to be transported to the capital to be buried. When the second aunt and her cousin returned that day, only her grandmother and her mother, the third aunt, and several young younger sisters were at home. The grandmother and her mother lived in the country for a long time. The people they saw in daily life were all from the same hometown and neighbors, and they heard all the ghosts and gods. In addition, they mistakenly thought that the second aunt and the

My cousin is no longer alive, so when I saw my second aunt and cousin, they mistakenly thought it was possessed by ghosts. In fear, they could not resist the instigation of the evil slaves in the family. They actually used the method of the country to expel evil for my second aunt. Alas, if one of my father and two uncles were at home, this would not have happened. Poor Second Aunt and her cousin were shocked and ran out of the house. When my uncle came back, they found out about this, so they searched everywhere. Unfortunately, they had not found their whereabouts until today. Unfortunately, the second aunt had a deep misunderstanding of the people in the family, so she would bring the family to court. Please forgive me."

As he said that, Yan Jingxiu saluted again solemnly, turned around and saluted Li Qiniang.

Li Qiniang said coldly: "Yan Zhaoshi and I have already divorced each other. Mr. Yan, don't call me aunt again."

Yan Jingxiu was not angry either, and was humble and respectful.

He said to the prefect: "The student brought the person who went to find the second aunt and cousin that day, and he was waiting outside the hall at this time."

The prefect nodded, and the master said, "Bring the person in."

The visitor claimed that he was You Wu, who was originally an escort from the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency. More than two months ago, the uncle and nephew of the Yan family gave him 200 taels of silver and asked them to find Li Qiniang and Yan Xuehuai. He asked his colleagues to search for him. At that time, the person was indeed found, but before the body was sent to the capital, he learned that he had found the wrong one.

"The villain had no choice but to bury the two bodies by themselves."

As he said that, You Wu took out a letter of deeds, the master took it and presented it to the prefect.

The confiscation was made by Yan Jingxiu and You Wu. The two parties agreed to pay 200 taels first, and then pay 200 taels when the person was retrieved.

The prefect said: "This can only prove that your Yan family has indeed searched for Li Qiniang and her daughter, but the evidence of Yan Guo and Yan Sun, together with the two servants, intending to kill is conclusive."

Yan Jingxiu sighed: "The student dare not deny it, but the student's grandmother and mother did believe that the evil slave's instigation and mistakenly thought that the second aunt was possessed by a ghost, so she did the wrong thing."

Old Mrs. Guo finally reacted and she hurriedly said, "That's right, their bodies have been found, why are they back again? They are possessed by ghosts? Alas, I also want to kill the ghosts away from her for her sake. I can't blame me for this, I'm also wronged."

Sun also said, "Yes, I listened to my mother-in-law and thought there was a ghost."

Old Mrs. Guo glared at her viciously, and she understood. Even if Sun wanted to push her, this was not a good thing.

Yan Jingxiu kowtowed respectfully and said to the prefect: "Grandmother and mother are short-sighted, obedient, and ashamed... they are ashamed of Madam Li, and they are judged according to the law, but the grandmother is old and her mother is weak. The students are willing to be punished on their behalf and apologize to Madam Li."

There was an uproar outside. Anyone who was a little older shook his head and sighed. Although this family named Yan was not a good person, they raised a filial son.

"It's not just a filial son. You see, he has spent money to find his aunt and cousin himself. He is much better than his uncle."

"Yes, yes, it's still a Tongsheng. What a pity, why did you get born in the Yan family?"

"But he said Yan Zhaoshi had also gone to find him."

"What are you looking for? Didn't you see that the contract book was signed by him and the escort? It has nothing to do with his second uncle."

"Yes, it's him who is looking for someone, not his second uncle. Oh, this nephew is really good."

"Look at how the prefect is ruling. You can't let him be beaten for two people alone. Such a good person should not be beaten to death."

According to the Great Wei law, in addition to the ten evil and serious crimes and the crime of beheading, the grandparents and parents' poaching punishments can be borne by their descendants. This is written in the criminal law, not only the prefect, but also ordinary people know it.

The prefect sighed. Like the people outside, he also felt that this young man named Yan Jingxiu was a pity. Such a glorious and bright moon would inevitably be dragged down by his family in the future.

Therefore, the prefect developed a desire to cherish talent.

However, he must also do the matter of the Dingguo bus.

He turned to Li Qiniang and asked, "Can Yan Zhaoshi agree to return all your dowry?"
