On one side, Xie Yunjin watched Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu repeatedly persecuting Liu Ziyan. He couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu, why do you keep blaming Ziyan? What did he do wrong? Killers shouldn't be punished." Punishment? As a son of man, shouldn't he avenge his mother? One more thing, he is still suing Wu Shu, not Mr. Shoufu. Even if Mr. Shoufu is implicated, it is not too big. jumped out and blamed him."

After all, it is His Majesty who wants to deal with Liu Shoufu. If His Majesty trusts Liu Shoufu, at most he will order Wu Shu to be punished.

Now His Majesty wants to deal with Liu Shoufu, what's the use of blaming Liu Ziyan, even if Liu Ziyan doesn't tell Wu Shu today, won't His Majesty find a chance to deal with Liu Shoufu later?

But Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu ignored this, as long as they thought of their son, they couldn't calm down. His son said that if Ziyan's pleadings were not withdrawn, he would not be able to live, and His Majesty would definitely kill him.

They can't just watch their son die.

The two elders stared at Liu Ziyan: "Ziyan, we have raised you, so you should repay our kindness and withdraw the pleading paper."

Liu Ziyan said quietly: "Even if I lose my life if I withdraw this pleading, you still want me to withdraw this pleading, don't you?"

The two elders were stunned, and then Grandpa Liu quickly promised: "As long as you withdraw this pleading paper, your father, as the chief assistant of the court, will definitely protect you."

Liu Ziyan closed his eyes, the last bit of hope in his heart was extinguished.

He said faintly: "If my father dies because of this case, I will defend his life."

After he finished speaking, he got up slowly and walked out. Xie Yunjin hurriedly called the servants of Xie's family to help him go to the guest house to rest.

Seeing that he ignored him, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu couldn't help but yelled.

"Zi Yan, Zi Yan."

Xie Yunjin looked at Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu with cool eyes and said in a deep voice: "You two old people, please go back, and you don't have to come to my Xie's house in the future."

Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu were stunned, Xie Yunjin had ordered someone to send them away.

The minds of the two elders were in a mess, and they couldn't say anything else, and they were finally invited out by the servants of Xie's family.

In the main hall, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao looked at each other in dismay. They thought that Liu Ziyan's suing Wu Shu would cause an uproar, but they didn't expect such a situation in the end. Even his grandparents were not standing by his side. I don't know if he has regret.

Whether Liu Ziyan regretted it, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao didn't know, but when they saw him early the next morning, they were shocked.

Because Liu Ziyan's head and black hair turned white overnight, his plump and handsome young man's skin was as white as snow, and his head was full of silver threads, making him look like a ghost without a soul.

At this moment Liu Ziyan did not regret it, but Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao regretted accepting his pleadings, they should be more cautious.

"Zi Yan, why are you like this?"

Although Liu Ziyan's face was bloodless, and his black hair turned white, he was much more sober, but his eyebrows were as cold as ice, only when he was looking forward to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, his expression was slightly warmer, and then his expression was calm, As if there is no temperature at all.

"fine."

After saying that, she stood up and looked at Xie Yunjin and said, "Brother-in-law, should we go to the yamen?"

Xie Yunjin looked at him worriedly and said, "Can you do this?"

Liu Ziyan nodded: "No problem."

He just had a crush on everyone in the Liu family.

Xie Yunjin knew that this matter had come to this point, so he could only continue to go down, but when they walked out of the house, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu didn't leave, and the two elders didn't leave all night. When there was movement in the mansion, he immediately ran over to stop people.

But when the two of them looked up and saw Liu Ziyan's gray hair all night, the two elders were startled, and then they burst into tears, unable to speak any more.

Liu Ziyan only glanced at them indifferently, then got into Xie Yunjin's carriage, and the two of them headed to the Ministry of Criminal Justice all the way.

The case of Liu Ziyan suing his stepmother has caused a sensation in the court and the capital. Recently, everyone has been talking about the Liu family. Saying that Liu Shoufu raped his wife and harmed his wife should be punished according to the logic, but many of them actually said that Liu Ziyan was disobedient and unfilial, and he was not worthy of being a son of man. How could anyone sue his stepmother and implicate his father, this person is not worthy of being a son of man.

However, no matter how other people comment on this case, the case was quickly investigated by the Criminal Department Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion. Back then, Wu Shu did kill Liu Ziyan's mother with saffron. Among them, Wu Shu insisted that she was ordered by Liu Shoufu to do so. of.

The Secretary of the Criminal Ministry and the Minister of Dali Temple asked Wu Shu to produce evidence. Where Wu Shu had evidence, all she could provide was the proof of her mother, but how could her mother testify? In the end, the evidence provided by Wu Shu could not prove Liu Shoufu’s crime.

As for the evidence provided by Liu Ziyan, it can only prove that before Liu Ziyan's mother died, Lord Shoufu was intimate with Wu Shu in private, but this cannot be used as evidence to prove that he killed his own wife.

Therefore, Wu Shu was bestowed with dove poison by His Majesty's decree. Wu Shu refused to take the poison, but was forced to drink it by the execution eunuch.

Although Liu Shoufu is not guilty of death, his misconduct is a certainty. Such a person is not worthy of being the first assistant of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

With a wave of his majesty's hand, Liu Shoufu was dismissed from the position of chief assistant, and he was allowed to stay at home and rest well.

The second assistant became the new chief assistant of Dazhou.

Liu Shoufu has always been sitting firmly in the position of Chief Assistant of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He did not expect to be dismissed by His Majesty one day. Unable to bear such a stimulus, he just couldn't catch his breath and passed out. When he woke up, everyone saw the former Chief Assistant , The mouth is crooked, the eyes are squinted, and the body can't move.

Liu Shoufu suffered a stroke because of too much stimulation. For the rest of his life, he could only be paralyzed on the bed and wait for someone to serve him.

Liu Ziyan didn't go to see Liu Shoufu, he was saying goodbye to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao at Xie's house.

"I have resigned to His Majesty, and I am going to travel around."

Lu Jiao felt sorry for Liu Ziyan, and said, "If you have nowhere to go, how about going to Xiejia Village as a teacher?"

Liu Ziyan shook his head, looked at Lu Jiao with a faint smile, and said, "I know my sister is worried about me, don't worry, I'm fine, I just want to go out and have a look."

Lu Jiao immediately said, "Then you must write a letter to me wherever you go."

She was just worried that Liu Ziyan would do something stupid.

Liu Ziyan laughed: "Okay, no matter where I go, I will write a letter to tell you."

This older sister whom he recognized halfway was the last ray of light in his life.

After Liu Ziyan agreed to Lu Jiao, he thanked Xie Yunjin, then turned around and strode away, all the way into the carriage outside Xie's house, and left Beijing in the dark night.
