After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"Then let's do it tomorrow." Fang Tong's face was serious, and he also agreed with this approach.

In the afternoon, Fang Yin used his position to find a lot of records about the Chen Xiang case for his niece.

While Fang Nanzhi was watching, he would keep an eye on the system mall from time to time and make new additions.

Qin Yan also went to the Imperial College to inquire.

He thought about it and directly borrowed the power of his two good friends. One was from a noble family and the other was from a prince's mansion. They must know a lot of secrets.

Fang Tong took half a day off from the Sinong Temple and went to Zhou's house.

Each of them was busy, and by the evening, Fang Nanzhi and his sister had basically understood the information they each had.

There were three main pieces of evidence used to judge Chen as guilty of treason.

One is the correspondence between Chen Zijun and the prince of Daqian Kingdom, which mentioned Nanhu Pass.

It is the intersection of the two levels.

There was also a discussion between two people about the territory north of Nanhu Pass.

To put it simply, Chen Zijun negotiated with the Crown Prince of Daqian Kingdom to cede a part of the territory in exchange for the Crown Prince going to war.

He wanted to make the newly enthroned emperor trapped in internal and external troubles so that he could profit from it.

The second one is a dragon robe, which is not accurate. Dragon robes usually have five claws, but the one discovered in the Chen Mansion may not have been embroidered yet, so it has four claws.

If it was Wuzhua at that time, the three clans of the Chen family would definitely not be able to escape.

The third is a list of people who formed a clique for personal gain and jointly controlled the salt mines.

Salt and iron were under the exclusive control of the imperial court. Any change to any of these two would cross the imperial court's bottom line.

In other words, these three key charges made it impossible for Chen Zijun to turn over.

At that time, there was not only complete physical evidence, but also witnesses.

Someone revealed the specific location of the salt mine and the mining account books. After the court took over, it was discovered that it was indeed true.

In short, Fang Nanzhi didn't see anything illogical in this case.

Qin Yan also analyzed.

"It's no exaggeration to say that Chen Zijun had absolute power at the time."

"He is the Prime Minister. More than half of the civil officials serve as his defense. In addition, his two disciples command three hundred thousand troops."

"After the emperor ascended the throne, he issued several decrees, such as changing the imperial examination from once every three years to once a year and expanding the Imperial College. However, due to Chen Zijun's opposition, none of them could be implemented."

"Even when Chen Zijun interfered in the harem, a concubine offended him and died the next day."

Fang Nanzhi was shocked when she heard this. Her uncle was so powerful that he even threatened the emperor.

If she were the emperor, she would probably be unable to sleep or eat.

Fang Nanzhi suddenly realized something: "Brother, even if we find out that it was a false case, it's useless. Uncle lost, right?"

She felt that it was more like a political struggle between the emperor and her uncle, a struggle for power, and her uncle lost, so...

Think about it, would the emperor be willing to clear the stigma of his former confidant?

You even have to pour two basins of dirty water.

This is what she would do if she encountered an enemy.

Qin Yan looked at his sister who had reacted and touched her little face.

"Maybe that was the case with the emperor back then, but Zhizhi, time is a very magical thing."

It’s not that time can dissolve hatred, but it can help people get out of the situation at that time and look at the problem more rationally.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Zijun is dead, and the emperor is no longer the new emperor who is surrounded by enemies.

Fang Nanzhi seemed to understand, but not quite. In other words, maybe the emperor didn't hate his uncle as much as before?

But she still sighed.

Relying on these case files, she had no access to the real witnesses and evidence, or relevant personnel at the time, so she really couldn't find any loopholes.

"Brother, do you think Chen Yong will come to Beijing?"

Fang Nanzhi's eyes flickered: "I wonder what evidence he has?"

Qin Yan knocked her head and said, "Maybe we should also think about whether the thing in his hand is authentic?"

"Well, I won't be used as a knife by him." Fang Nanzhi nodded.

She wanted to wait until the person came to Beijing and then find a way to contact him, but she would not believe everything he said.

Even if the other person is a relative of yours.

But she had been cheated and bullied by her relatives since she was a child, and she knew that blood ties did not necessarily mean closeness.

Qin Yan was relieved to see that his sister was still rational.

"If this case is true, Zhizhi, what do you want to do?"

Fang Nanzhi thought for a moment and said, "Follow the law."

Although I will be very sad because my uncle is not so honest, kind and loyal, but a bad man, I will not be too harsh on myself and live in guilt.

She is willing to take responsibility. In addition, she uses her ancestors as a mirror to warn herself not to make the same mistakes as them.

Qin Yan was very relieved. He knew that Zhizhi didn't say anything, but she cared about her mother very much in her heart and was afraid that Zhizhi would get stuck in a dead end because of this matter.

"Also, how do you and the prince get along?"

Fang Nanzhi was stunned and didn't react. What was the connection between these two things?

"If there really is something wrong with the case, and the emperor is unwilling to overturn the verdict..."

"Or, the case is fine, and the prince knows your identity..."

Qin Yan carefully chose his words and gave his suggestions.

Fang Nanzhi scratched her head. This was the first time she had to deal with such a relationship. Did that mean she might stand on a different side from the prince?

She shook her head. No, no, she couldn't just rely on her own imagination.

"I believe in the prince, and I believe in myself."

I believe they can all distinguish right from wrong.

If it was a wrongful case, she had the foresight not to implicate Qing Yan with her resentment, and Qing Yan would not wrong her for the sake of the royal family's dignity.

If there was no injustice, Qing Yan would not have implicated her.

She even had the confidence that if the prince made a different choice, she would be sad, but she would also be free and easy and not force it.

Before something happened, she would not question their friendship.

Qin Yan was relieved and proud that his sister had really grown up.

Outside the door, the three adults who were lying down and eavesdropping put their hearts back in their stomachs and smiled.

I’m afraid that the little girl will suddenly encounter this and be unable to get over it.

Now they know that their children are really great.

At night, the emperor stood in the East Palace, looking up at the bright moon.

After seven rounds of severe pain today, Qing Yan collapsed to the ground and could hardly move his fingers.

In the past, he only experienced it 3-4 times a day.

The emperor knew that the prince's poison had become more serious and he didn't have much time left.

A figure appeared silently and knelt down again.

"Your Majesty, there is a secret letter."

The secret guard took out a bamboo tube.

The emperor opened it and saw what was inside, his eyes lit up slightly.

The time has come.

At the morning court, Fang Yin and others asked to see the emperor after the court session.

The emperor also intended to keep him.

The emperor and his minister entered the imperial study, and Fang Yin knelt down without waiting for the emperor to discuss important matters.

"Your Majesty, my third brother and I are guilty."

Fang Yin's head hit the bluestone slab hard.

The emperor was surprised at first, then calm.

"What crime?"

"My niece, my third brother's daughter, Fang Nanzhi, lost her mother at a young age. Before my third brother married into my family, she was starving and thin, suffering greatly."

Fang Yin was in tears as he told the story of how the old couple of the Fang family were partial to their daughter when they were young, how Fang Tong raised his daughter, and about his second brother.

The focus is on Fang Nanzhi's misery.
