Chapter 218
Twenty years ago, Qin Mingda, a young and vigorous Chengmen captain, had not yet started a family in the capital city, so his daily pastime was to hang out in wine bars with a few colleagues.
One day on duty, he drove his horse in the direction of the wine shop with ease. As soon as he arrived at the door of the wine shop, he heard a woman's exclamation coming from the teahouse next door.
Looking into the teahouse with the colleagues who came with them, they saw a man wearing the same military uniform as them tugging at a civilian girl. The woman resisted with a look of fear on her face.
Qin Mingda was about to step forward when he was stopped by a colleague beside him, "Don't meddle in other people's business. He is not yet in his senior year, but his official position is not under yours. He is a well-connected person at first glance, so don't provoke him easily."
Qin Mingda sighed, and just as he was about to turn around and walk towards the familiar wine shop, he heard the scream of the woman in the teahouse next to him getting louder.
"My lord, please don't bully this little girl. She still has a baby at home that is waiting to be fed. Can you let her go?"
As soon as he heard this, Qin Mingda became angry.You know, he is about to get married to a woman from his hometown. When he thinks that his wife may also suffer such humiliation when he is not around, Qin Mingda steps forward, grabs Wu Liang with one hand and pulls the woman's arm, towards him Instantly, he was punched in the angry face.
"You are unscrupulous and wantonly, bringing disgrace to our soldiers!"
How could Qin Mingda know at this moment that this punch would ruin his lifelong career as a military commander.
Wu Liang, who was only sixteen years old but already tall and thick, was staggered by Qin Mingda's punch. However, no one could see him. While he spat on the ground, a smile of success appeared on the corners of his lips. .
The man surnamed Qin in front of him is the strongest opponent for the position of the city's garrison commander. The master wants to drag him down so that he can take the position of commander-in-chief.He has been arranging today's play for a long time.
After that, Qin Mingda and Wu Liang went to court.
At first, Qin Mingda was full of confidence, thinking that bringing the matter to the Ministry of Justice would definitely teach the person who violated military discipline a lesson. However, he never expected that the outcome of the matter was not at all what he expected.
The woman who was teased claimed to be Wu Liang's fiancée, claiming that she was having a good time drinking tea with Wu Liang, but was inexplicably disturbed by Qin Mingda. Not to mention, her future husband was beaten up by Qin Mingda, and he was miserable in the hall. Begging the official to give her and her future husband justice.
The colleague who went to the wine shop with Qin Mingda did not clarify the facts when he arrived at the court to testify for Qin Mingda. Instead, he said the same thing to the woman, saying that he wanted to stop Qin Mingda but did not. Qin Mingda did not know What the hell is going on.Colleagues unintentionally revealed to the officials of the Ministry of Justice who were investigating the case that Qin Mingda was deliberately striving for the general position and had been secretly considering Wu Liang as a strong opponent. If the general was disabled, he would definitely miss out on the official position.
Wu Liang raised his naked right arm with bruises to testify, saying that Qin Mingda hit the joints of his right arm specifically, but fortunately he escaped in time and missed the vital spot hit by Qin Mingda.
Qin Mingda, who was framed to pieces by the gangsters in front of him, resigned from office and returned to his hometown in frustration after being subjected to corporal punishment with a cane and being demoted.He had always been upright, and after a long period of depression, he realized that he might have been targeted early on, and that he was targeted for no reason that day.The name Wu Liang was like a past event that he didn't want to recall. Although he didn't think of it often in the future, it was already engraved on his heart like a brand.
"I'm afraid that Qin Yuan and Qin Xi will be criticized for this matter in the future when they become officials in the court. Xiaoyun, how do you think I can prove my innocence 20 years ago now?"
Mu Yun was dumbfounded after listening to Qin Mingda's narration of the past 20 years ago. After going round and round, she found out that her uncle was accidentally bitten by a dog raised by the Cheng family when he was an official in the capital.
Mu Yun didn't know where the files from the Ministry of Punishment from 20 years ago would be kept. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Don't worry, uncle, I will send someone from the Ministry of Punishment to check. Who is the name of the colleague who was with you at the time? Do you still remember it?" ?”
Qin Mingda secretly sighed, he hadn't seen her for more than half a year, his niece was really promising, her behavior was domineering, she got to the point when dealing with danger, and she was more capable of taking on tasks than men.
"Ma Yong, that man's name is Ma Yong. He must have been bribed by Wu Liang, otherwise why would he suddenly betray me at the Yamen." Qin Mingda's chest couldn't help rising and falling when he mentioned those humiliating past events. .
"Uncle, don't be upset about the past. As long as I'm here, I will definitely give you justice." Moreover, Mu Yun raised her eyebrows slightly, "Wu Liang is also the person I want to deal with. He won't be able to stay alive for long."
Seeing Qin Mingda's eyes slightly widened, Mu Yun immediately realized that she had said too much. She quickly found an excuse to escape before Qin Mingda could question him.
Oops, she always lets down her guard when in front of her family.
"I have to get up early tomorrow morning, uncle, go to bed early!"
Qin Mingda looked at Mu Yun's hastily escaping figure, who could barely keep up with his shoes, and the corners of his lips rose unconsciously, right? This is how your mother looked like back then.
On New Year's Eve, Mu Yun got up from bed early in the morning and rushed to Tianyang Palace.Dressed in grand palace attire, she followed Emperor Pingren and Empress Xiao, along with a group of royal family members, worshiping her ancestors like a puppet on strings. She invited gods and Buddhas from all walks of life, burned incense, saluted, and participated in the palace banquet.
Thinking that the huge royal team was missing a few familiar faces, Mu Yun couldn't help but whisper to Concubine De during the palace banquet.
Concubine De covered her lips and whispered in Mu Yun's ear: "Mu Yinyin, you know, how can you participate in such a solemn occasion like today after being demoted to a commoner? I don't know what concubine Li who was favored before has done. , made His Majesty unhappy, and was demoted to the cold palace. There were also several low-ranking concubines who were demoted to Shuiyue Nunnery by Your Majesty in various names. The harem was suddenly much cleaner. Look at the Empress. What a great smile.”
Mu Yun suddenly understood and nodded, raising his eyes to look upward.Sure enough, Queen Xiao's smile that almost reached her ears never fell off.
However, how could it be that the father made such a big fuss in the harem because of Empress Xiao? I'm afraid those concubines were dirty and did something treasonous.
Concubine De sighed softly, seemingly unintentionally, "Those sisters have more or less secretly written letters with the ruling family, so I'm afraid His Majesty has offended His Majesty. It is His Majesty's mercy to demote them to Shuiyue Nunnery. "
Mu Yun immediately realized that his father might have discovered Li's concubine's connection with the Cheng family, and the other concubines might have found out the same fault and punished them all to cover up the public's confusion.
Mu Yun's heart exploded instantly, the sky has paid off!Father finally took action against the Cheng family!
