This... this... this is Dong E's family matter?!
Didn’t Xinda Li only have a bastard?
Why is there still a lawsuit involving murder and seizing a title?
Su Nu was surprised and found that the petition was a thick pile.
Along with the petition, there are also confessions from the doctor, the boy in the front yard, the maid in the back yard, the chef in the kitchen, and the tenants of the farm.
This is conclusive evidence!
Second-class earldom...
Sonu's heart skipped a beat.
Even if the son-in-law he likes, Fuyong, will not be able to become the heir of the uncle's house, if Zhuliang, the eldest son above him, is adopted, the title of Qixi's family and the position of left leader will fall to Fuyong.
Tominaga is certainly good, but he just lacks an identity.
It's a pity that Liu Gege is not a direct descendant of his family, otherwise, he would still be titled Gushan Gege.
In that case, Gushan's Prince Consort is equivalent to the fourth level of martial arts, which can be regarded as having a future, and he will have a foundation to fill the gaps in the future and be promoted.
With this current lawsuit, this is a rare opportunity.
Su Nu immediately called people over, went to Dorogge's house, and brought the suspect and witnesses.
Don't give the county owner a chance to regret it.
Otherwise, if the complaint is withdrawn, the matter will be reduced to a trivial matter.
As for the physical condition of Xinda Li’s distant cousin...
Sonu sighed.
No one can avoid birth, aging, illness and death.
I just never thought that someone who has struggled all his life would be harmed by his own maids and concubines.
Xindali has been sick since he was a child, and his brothers and cousins of the same generation also let him down when they were young.
Everyone thought that he would not live long, but he only lived to be fifty years old.
Before, everyone was gossiping in private, saying that if Xinda Li could survive, it would not be over until he could see his grandson.
Then Sunubeizi thought that in the future, her in-laws would have a prince and a noble son-in-law.
Today the holy cavalry is leaving, and all the princes are going to see him off.
Even if Brother Ninth knew about this, there was no reason to interfere in Dong E's family affairs. Besides, this lawsuit had something to do with Brother Ninth...
Baimengshu

After watching the southern patrol fleet leave, several brothers took their guards with them to escort the troops back.
Everyone was riding horses and there was no need to follow the convoy, so it was much faster than when we came out in the morning.
In less than an hour, we returned to the capital.
Brother Ninth didn't sleep last night. He was riding a horse because of the wind and felt his head was a little lost. When he got off the horse, he yawned and said, "Brother Fourth, you are busy. Brother Ten, you can do whatever you want. I'll go back and catch up on some sleep."
The three brothers all had errands to do, so they were preparing to separate at Daqing Gate.
It was not yet Shenshi time. Although Ma Qi's retinue would also be in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Jiu should also go to the Yamen to show up to see if there was any official business today.
Brother Si thought this and wanted to teach him a lesson, but seeing his sleepy look, he swallowed his words again: "Go back and have a good rest."
The tenth brother warned: "Ninth brother, remember to use a pillow before sleeping, so as not to feel hungry and uncomfortable."
Everyone was so busy with their work that they didn't bother to eat lunch, and they were all very hungry now.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "I'm not hungry yet. Your sister-in-law brought Roujiamo and tea eggs to eat on the carriage this morning..."
The tenth elder brother felt something was wrong. He looked at the ninth elder brother, looked at it a few times, landed on the package in his hand, and said, "Sister-in-law nine prepared one?"
Sister-in-law Jiu has always been generous. She always prepares several portions when preparing food.
I'm on the road today, and if I prepare something convenient to eat, I'll probably prepare one for myself.
Brother Jiu picked up the package and said, "That's not true. I prepared several copies and asked me to share them with you. Didn't you forget it?"
When I was on the dock, I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't care less about anything else.
The tenth brother felt that the ninth brother was disgusting, so he reached out and pulled the package over.
Opening it, there are two oil paper bags inside.
The tenth elder brother took one portion and handed the remaining one to the fourth elder brother: "If the fourth elder brother goes to the Yamen, please take a bite first."
The fourth elder brother nodded and took it, looking at the ninth elder brother with increasing displeasure.
It's so sexy.
Apart from him, Fujin, there was no one else in his eyes.
Brother Jiu sneered twice and said, "Then I'll go back to the palace first. See you tomorrow, see you tomorrow!"
After saying that, he quickly walked towards the palace gate.
The tenth elder brother saw that the fourth elder brother had a bad look on his face, so he helped explain: "Ninth brother has been taken care of by sister-in-law for most of the past six months. Maybe he is not used to being separated for a while."
Fourth Brother nodded with a straight face and said nothing else.
I just feel that Khan Amma’s behavior is a little inappropriate.
Even if you are filial to the Queen Mother, you should not order Prince Fujin to serve the Queen Mother in daily life. It is too inconsiderate to your son.
The two brothers went to the Yamen respectively.
The fourth elder brother went to the Hubu Yamen, and the tenth elder brother went to the Zongrenfu Yamen.
It's just that the two brothers have different plans.
The fourth elder brother planned to stay on duty overnight, collect all the data from Songjiang Prefecture, compile all the statistics, and then deliver the records to the imperial court earlier.
Here, the tenth elder brother, I plan to show up at the clan mansion, click Mao, and then go back to my elder brother's place to catch up on some sleep.
Although he slept last night, he woke up early and his eyelids were heavy at the moment.
The yamen of the Zongren Mansion was very leisurely on weekdays, but now, following the instructions of Khan Amma, drawing the bow and shooting arrows had become a serious job.
At other times, the miscellaneous matters are handled by the Fu Cheng and several hall masters.
The princes and princes of the clan who came here on duty just drank tea, chatted, and just clicked Mao.
In addition to compiling the jade ultimatum on time once every ten years, the Zongren Mansion also has weddings and funerals.
Nowadays, the number of people in the clan is not very large, and there are not things to deal with every day.
Brother Ten feels that the atmosphere in this yamen is good, and he is more accustomed to this kind of life.
Unexpectedly, there was thunder today!
The tenth elder brother entered the Yamen of the Zongren Mansion and was blocked by Sunu Beizi.
This person is a direct descendant of Guanglue Beile, and is now the leader of that branch.
The ten elder brothers are all called "Uncle Clan".
"Brother, someone filed a complaint today..."
Su Nu directly told the clan that the imperial family had accepted the imperial examination.
Brother Ten was stunned when he heard this.
"It's Dong E's family, the ninth brother's uncle and father-in-law, isn't it possible that he got mixed up?"
Before, he was envious of the Dong E family's good family tradition, but ended up in a lawsuit?
Su Nu said nothing else, but handed the complaint and the witness statements to the tenth prince.
Brother Ten couldn't help but frown when he saw it.
He is actually related to Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law?!
According to the confession of the nanny next to Zhao, Xindali's concubine, Zhao arranged for someone to spend money to bribe the tenants of Haidian Zhuangzi to spy on her ex-husband Xing Quan's family.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, after the ninth elder brother and his wife arrived at Zhuangzi, the tenants reported the news to the uncle's house in the capital on the same day.
Concubine Zhao then sent her servants outside to grab a few packs of poppies to drink in the name of "diarrhea".
The poppies inside were taken and used to make soy sauce and braised pork for Xinda Li to eat.
Because Xindali was ill for a long time and his sense of taste was not sensitive, he added several times more salt to the milk tea he drank.
As a result, Xindali was poisoned by salt.
Brother Ten was furious when he saw it, and said: "You really have a guilty conscience. What are you afraid of? Are you worried about Brother Ninth and Sister-in-law Ninth finding out that the adulterous son was born on the wrong day? Is this confusing the noble bloodline?"
It is clear that Ninth Brother Yue's family is doing well, but now their reputation is being dragged down for nothing.
Su Nu nodded and said: "That's probably true!"
He pointed to the sentence written on the lower part of the petition, which included the fact that the baby was born in the sixth month of the month.
"I've heard of seven-month premature birth, but I've never heard of six-month premature birth..."
With just this sentence, Xizhu's identity as an adulterous child was nailed down.
It doesn't matter whether he is of Xindali bloodline or not.
Even if they are of the Xindali bloodline, they are still from outside the family and are not qualified to inherit the title and family property of this lineage.
If he is not of Xindali bloodline, then he is suspected of taking his surname as his own.
You must know that this room in the uncle's house is not an ordinary bannerman, but someone with a title and a worldly position.
Even for an ordinary banner family, it is a serious crime to pretend to have blood, let alone such a noble family.
The tenth elder brother frowned and said, "Why did you come to the clan's mansion to sue?"
Under normal circumstances, Eight Banners lawsuits can be filed with the Eight Banners Capital Office first.
Su Nu stroked his beard and said, "Gege must be angry, fearing that Dong E's family will cover up this matter."
Who said that nowadays the emphasis is on "hiding each other from each other".
The commander-in-chief of Zhenghong Banner is Qi Xi. If the complaint is brought to him, the matter will probably be investigated privately.
Brother Ten asked: "How did uncle deal with it?"
Sunubeizi said calmly: "Of course it's 'just handling'..."
Since the county chief brought this matter to light, he should be tried clearly.
After this incident, Dong E's family's reputation may be ruined for a while, but the in-laws will benefit from it in the future.
Besides, among the nobles of the Eight Banners, whose family doesn’t have a few dirty things?
At most, it will just be talked about for ten days and a half, and it will be fine when time passes.
The tenth elder brother nodded and said: "Then you are busy first. My nephew will go back to the elder brother's house first and tell the ninth elder brother..."
Sonu nodded.
In fact, he was hesitating whether to meet the county lord in private and ask about the choice of heir.
My future son-in-law has the best qualifications among his brothers, so it makes sense that he will become the pillar of support for the next generation.
As for what Qi Xi thinks, Su Nu doesn't care much.
The five boys in Dutong Mansion are all Qi Xi's sons, but only one of them is his future uncle...
The tenth elder brother did not delay. After coming out of the clan's mansion, he hurried back to the palace.
Brother Ninth had already washed himself briefly and was lying in the east room of the main room.
Although Shu Shu had tidied up his bedroom for him a few days ago, Brother Jiu didn't want to go.
He still wanted to lie here.
The furniture everywhere is the wife's dowry; all the small items are placed by the wife.
This curtain was also used by the two of them before.
Brother Jiu spread it out into a cake.
snort!
Be careful!
Aren't you just afraid that you will be living in the main house and be close to the backyard?
I really underestimated him.
The Southern Patrol Boat will be temporarily anchored today.
Not only today, the nearest palace in Zhoujiazui is hundreds of miles away by water, and it will not be possible to get ashore until the seventh or eighth day of the Lunar New Year at the earliest.
Brother Jiu sat up and snorted again.
It's okay this time.
It takes five or six days on the boat.
The person who loves cleanliness the most has no choice but to deal with it this time.
Deserve it!
Brother Ninth felt resentful and distressed at the same time.
The pitiful look of Shu Shu came to mind.
Her habit is to take a bath every day and wash her hair every other day.
If this is inconvenient on the boat, it will definitely be difficult.
After all, he was living on the Queen Mother's boat, so he couldn't move easily.
Brother Jiu sighed again.
If they go by themselves and the couple has a separate boat, why do they have to worry about this?
There was movement outside.
The tenth elder brother is here.
Liang Jiufong was stopped outside the gate of the Second School, but Brother Ten could not.
"Brother Ninth, Brother Ninth!"
Before the Tenth Brother arrived, the voice arrived first, and he started shouting as he entered the courtyard.
Brother Jiu put his shoes off the kang, opened the window, and said angrily: "What are you shouting at the top of your lungs?"
The tenth brother didn't waste any time. He came in with a bang, didn't go to the second room, and just sat in the second room.
He was walking in a hurry and his throat was dry, so he was not polite and took the teapot that was warm on the smoker, poured himself a cup, and drank "tons, tons, tons, tons".
"Are you in a hurry? Who is dead?"
Brother Ninth came out of the room, saw the sweat on Brother Ten’s forehead, and said casually.
