Faithful 九义人 Episode 24

Today in court, Wu Lian was not able to be brought to justice. Tian Xiaoling couldn't help but feel a little guilty and felt that she had not helped everyone. Several people quickly consoled him. Although they were forced to let Wu Lian remain at large today, the reputation he had worked so hard in Huaizhou City over the years was ruined. Liu Xin on the side was even more annoyed and cursed Wu An for biting back at the critical moment. Meng Wan felt that Wu Anding had made a plan early on, first pretending to cooperate with Liu Xin, and finally staged a drama in the court that would allow Wu Lian to escape unscathed.

The Queen Mother's decree was quickly sent to the Duke's Mansion, and she used Wu Lian's incident to warn the Duke's wife to be cautious in her words and deeds in the future. The Duke's wife was shocked and didn't understand how this matter reached the Queen Mother's ears. After thinking about it, she thought of Meng Wan. A few days ago, Meng Wan came with Huaijin embroidery from Huangji Embroidery Workshop, reminding the Duke and his wife that instead of just waiting for death, it would be better to take a preemptive strike and report Wu Lian's crimes to the capital. But at that time, the Duke's wife did not follow her advice. Unexpectedly, Meng Wan was good at making decisions and filed a lawsuit on her behalf. However, the Duke’s wife also knew the stakes. If you admit the crime first and admit the punishment, the Queen Mother will naturally not be too difficult. Besides, the Queen Mother also likes Huaijin embroidery very much. In any case, Meng Wan's bold decision this time will benefit the Duke and his wife without any harm.

In order to find out the truth of the year and bring clarity to the world, the capital specifically ordered Lou Mingzhang to stay in Huaizhou City to strictly interrogate Wu Lian's case.

When talking about Ru Lan, Tian Xiaoling felt a little regretful. At the beginning, she knew in her heart that what Ru Lan said was true, but at that time she only had pity and no sympathy in her eyes. Because her father was a private school teacher, she read many books since she was a child and believed that she was different from other embroidery girls. That's why she ignored Rulan's persuasion that day and felt that those things had nothing to do with her.

Hearing this, Meng Wan was filled with emotions. Among the names on the fallen plum blossom picture, there may be some girls who, like Tian Xiaoling, always feel that they have done something wrong, but in fact, it is Wu Lian who is always the one who commits the crime. She made Tian Xiaoling a cup of tea, gently brushed her shoulder, and whispered softly for her to have a good sleep. Tian Xiaoling looked at the cup of tea thoughtfully, as if she had figured out her obsession for so many years.

The Yamen received an anonymous letter from Huaizhou people. The contents were all handwritten letters written by the women who were killed by Wu Lian or their relatives. Many Huaizhou people came to the Yamen to petition, hoping to review the case. case. Without thinking, Lou Mingzhang guessed that this was Meng Wan's handiwork. In fact, after learning that Wu Lian managed to get the position of envoy of Wenxiu Academy, Meng Wan made two preparations.

One of them was that she secretly hid a letter accusing Wu Lian in Huaijin embroidery and asked Huang Jiaojiao to present it to the Queen Mother. Later, Meng Wan gave up and asked Lou Mingzhang to follow him to Yanyu Embroidery House. Lou Mingzhang gathered the embroidery girls and nuns in the embroidery building together and asked them what they had to say. When Wu Lian learned about this, he was not panicked. After all, the contracts of selling these people were still in his hands. But he never expected that the first person to tell the truth would be the one closest to him, Grandma Chen. After some questioning, Meng Wan also told everyone that Zhang Ronger had handed over their deeds of prostitution to him, so they no longer had to be restrained by Wu Lian.

Now that there are so many witnesses, it is natural to take Wu Lian back to the government office for strict interrogation. But just as Wu Lian was being escorted back to the government office, someone suddenly rushed to Yanyu Xiulou and asked for Wu Lian by name. Wu Lian quickly turned around and said frankly that he was the one. The man handed him a package and said that it contained his documents and official seal. Upon hearing this, Wu Lian was relieved, a smile appeared on his face, and he accepted his "life-saving charm". Whenever officials of the current dynasty committed crimes, they had to be sent to Dali Temple in the capital. Naturally, the Huaizhou Prefecture could not punish Wu Lian directly. But Lou Mingzhang ignored him and ordered someone to take him down.

Now, with all the witnesses and evidence available, Wu Lian will not be able to escape even if he has three heads and six arms. Lou Mingzhang strictly followed the emperor's decree and severely punished Wu Lian. The case was finally settled, and Meng Wan finally showed a happy smile on his face. Years of planning and forbearance finally came to fruition at this moment. Those stained souls, at this moment, are like being illuminated and washed by the sky lanterns flying upward. Afterwards, Meng Wan went to the cell and asked Wu Lian if he had ever regretted it. Wu Lian did not answer, but continued to embroider the messy fallen plum blossom with his broken hand. After Meng Wan left, Wu Lian seemed to see his little girl. In my impression, my mother was still so gentle and caring about him. But he didn't know if he was really wrong. Meng Wan walked to the cell door, and news came from behind that Wu Lian had committed suicide by swallowing a needle.

If you are obsessed with only one person, your mind will be narrow-minded. Just like a lamp, only one lamp shines. But it doesn't matter if only one lamp shines. As long as this lamp is bright in the heart and can be rekindled today, it will be the lights of thousands of families. The rising sun can illuminate this endless night.
