Da Suining

Chapter 259 Red Rain
The sky is big and the earth is big, and gold is the biggest.

Lord Lu wanted him to judge the case fairly.

What is justice?

Lord Lu lost his beloved son, it is justice to avenge him and relieve his anger.

It's easy to be just.

Anyway, there are many wrongful cases in his hands.

How can everyone be Bao Qingtian.

The emperor still has time to take a nap.

It would be wrong to offend the prince and concubine for the sake of a mere Prime Minister Daying.

"I went to make a cup of tea for the eldest prince, I made it myself." Master Qingcheng bowed his waist: "It's the best Longjing, let the eldest prince try it, you must be tired after sitting for so long."

The eldest prince used tea and asked Master Qingcheng to continue.

"Then...give this pearl twenty sticks."

Guo Cong frowned.

Xu just stroked his gray beard and pondered: "It seems that this master likes to beat people with sticks."

But Lu Yu stood up straight away: "May I ask you, Mr. Fuya, why did you beat Mingzhu with twenty sticks?"

"Ten sticks are the same as that slave girl Chunyu just now. They deserve it."

"She didn't sue the master." Lu Yu retorted.

Although Xuan Guo is small, it is a serious country.

Master Qingcheng, I don't ask you to be fair everywhere in the law, but you can't play tricks either.

Now hit ten sticks now, hit that ten sticks later, it’s fine to have a name, why would you want to just give others a crime as soon as you come out.

What is deserved.

"Emperor Lu usually walks in the palace. It's normal to see such scenes of beatings and killings. I'm afraid you don't know. In our lobby, there are many people who have been beaten ten sticks. The name is Shawei. Great." Master Qingcheng said clearly.

The old doctor Xu Zhi hurriedly pulled Lu Yu to sit down: "You are young and vigorous, it has nothing to do with you when others are beaten. You have a louder voice than the master, and he will beat you ten times later."

"Even if ten sticks are killing power, why do you need to hit Pearl with twenty sticks?" The young man in white, with sharp edges and corners, was fighting with Master Qingcheng in the lobby.

"There are still ten sticks. She is the one who makes noise in the lobby. In the noisy lobby, there are usually ten sticks, and she is no exception. Otherwise, what rules are there?" Master Qingcheng said seriously.

"I'm afraid this rule is not the rule of Xuan Guo's law, but the rule you made yourself?" Lu Yu sneered.

"Lu Yu, don't affect the judgment of the lord of the government office." Guo Cong lowered his eyebrows.

These words greatly encouraged Master Qingcheng.

"Come here—" He immediately called two yamen servants: "Coax this Imperial Physician Lu out—no—take this Imperial Physician Lu to the back hall for me to watch my trial."

Killing hearts.

Just now I clearly heard from the housekeeper of Prince Lu's mansion that this Lu Yu has a bad heart and has been having an affair with the second girl of Xiang's family for a long time, no wonder he couldn't hold back in the lobby.

Then let him watch from the back hall.

"Arrange the twenty sticks for her first." The master of the government government gave an order, and several government servants pressed the pearl, like pressing a small chicken, and hit her with the stick firmly. body.

Almost ripped apart.

Mingzhu was beaten until she vomited blood.

There was a moment of golden yellow and then paleness in front of my eyes, I just felt that the whole person was about to faint.

Guo Cong lowered his eyes and said, "Is this...suitable?"

"The eldest prince sees good people in the palace. He must have never seen these savage slaves. They won't tell the truth if they don't give them some color. Otherwise, there are so many instruments of torture in the Ministry of Punishment. If they are easy to negotiate, the case will not be settled, the First Prince thinks about it, but is this the truth?"

Guo Cong nodded.

"Bring Prime Minister Suining." Master Qingcheng gave a long shout.

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat.

This sound seemed to touch his heart.

For a while, it was heartbeat and heartache.

It's just that the two arms were held down by the yamen servants, so they couldn't move.

Soon, Xiang Suining was brought up.

The clothes are still thin, the shoes are too dirty to see the color, there is no hairpin jewelry in the hair, and the pearl earrings on the ears have also lost their luster. Because it is snowing outside, she was escorted in, with the skirt hanging Water, snow in my hair.

As soon as she came in, the snow in her hair melted, flowing down her eyebrows and flowing to the corner of her mouth.

She is thin.

Much thinner.

"Girl—" Mingzhu received twenty sticks, and felt like she was walking around in the underworld.

Now when I see Xiang Suining, I think I saw a ghost: "Girl, girl... did they kill you so soon? Girl, you were wronged."

Mingzhu's blood dripped onto Xiang Suining's hand.

It was as if a hand was firmly grasping Xiang Suining's heart.

Xiang Suining had a sore nose.

Growing up with Mingzhu since childhood, although they are not sisters, they still look like sisters.

She is the master, she is the servant, every time, she protects her.

Now she has been beaten to the ground.

Guo Cong personally asked Xiang Suining: "This villain, you are the one who cursed Princess Lu, right? You wrote the words on it, right?"

The evidence was brought before Xiang Suining.

That villain is ugly and weird.

very strange.

One look at the exquisite workmanship, it is not Xiang Suining's craftsmanship.

Xiang Suining's craftsmanship is much more sloppy than this.

She can't do such manual work.

But the handwriting on it was indeed Xiang Suining's.

"The eldest prince asked you something." Master Qingcheng patted the gavel.

"Little man, I don't know." Xiang Suining said.

"Then why is it under your pillow?"

"I was taken into the prison, but I wasn't in the room. Maybe someone else went in and put it there, I don't know."

"I heard that this servant Mingzhu has been guarding your room..." Guo Cong asked.

Mingzhu burst into tears: "I often go to make medicine for the old lady these days. I remembered, it was Tang Xiaoniang who said that the second girl used to make medicine for the old lady. The old lady gets better quickly when she is in a good mood. Now the two The girl is locked up, and the old lady must be willing to drink the decoction, which is my personal maid, so I was asked to stay in the old lady's east courtyard every day. At that time, I didn't guard the girl's room... Maybe it was at that time, someone entered I left the room to put the villain...Girl...I'm sorry for you."

Guo Cong was dubious: "This villain, you have no evidence to prove that you didn't do it, and the words on it are your handwriting, right?"

The class has invited Mr. Notebook to compare the copybook copied by Xiang Suining with the writing on this villain.

written by the same person.

It's Xiang Suining's notes.

Xiang Suining didn't recognize it, she just asked them to bring the villain over.

Xiang Suining observed for a while, wiped his hair with his hand, wiped off a little snow water, and pressed it on the little man, the word turned into two, it seems that two words were spelled together.

There have been such injustices since ancient times.

This is not the first either.

At the beginning, someone in Qingcheng cut out a letter from a teacher, put it together, and accused him of having an affair with a pregnant widow, causing the widow to throw herself into a well.

It wasn't until the man was arrested for defaming the women of the people and confessed to this matter that everyone suddenly realized.

"She copied a lot of copybooks. It's not difficult to find Xiangyan's name in it. It's a coincidence to piece them together and blame her on her." Lu Yuyi was filled with indignation.

"Gag him up." Master Qingcheng snorted.

They were all escorted to the back hall, and he still spoke.

Sure enough, the yamen servant was not used to it, and found a piece of cloth to cover Lu Yu's mouth tightly.

Guo Cong was taken aback for a moment.

He didn't expect Xiang Suining to be so careful.

It was still Master Qingcheng who handled a lot of cases and was thinking about work, so he immediately said: "The eldest prince has read the writing on this villain for a long time, and this official has read it many times, but he didn't see any tricks. Only you, Miss, can read it at a glance. It’s strange, and you still say you didn’t do it? You must be thinking about being found out, so you refuted like this, so you deliberately cut out these two words and pasted them together? No matter one word or two words, they are your words anyway , it won’t work. If you don’t recognize it, it won’t work.”

I ran into a confused officer.

Xiang Suining sighed.

Then, saffron and musk were brought out.

"These things are not mine." Xiang Suining naturally denied it.

"They were all found in your room." Guo Cong said, "Think about it carefully."

"I never keep these things in my room." Xiang Suining affirmed, "Is there any pharmacy in Qingcheng for these things?"

Not to mention these things that are easy to slippery, but other spices, she doesn't smell much, and the most common things in the room are all kinds of fruits, fresh fruits.

There are watermelons in summer and persimmons in autumn. The clear sweetness of fresh fruits is beyond the reach of spices.

"How do you prove that these things are not yours?" Master Qingcheng asked back.

"Who can prove that these things are mine?" Xiang Suining retorted.

"Chunyu, tell me."

Chunyu crawled forward.

Xiang Suining's eyes met hers.

Chunyu hesitated for a moment, and soon she straightened her chest and said firmly: "Master... I can prove that these things belong to Second Miss. I saw with my own eyes... Second Miss used these things to harm Princess Lu..."

"Chunyu, did I offend you?" Xiang Suining was puzzled.

Not so much hatred.

Knowing that these framed Xiang Suining, Chunyu would put Xiang Suining to death.

She did it anyway.

"Second girl...I...Second girl, you and the princess are sisters, don't deny it... The princess said that if you are willing to confess your crime, she is willing to go to the prince to intercede for you...She I won't disregard my sisterhood... the second girl..."

If confessed.

Xiang Yan probably wouldn't let her live another day.

It probably will be.

It has been like this since childhood.

She wished she would die immediately.

Where did the plea come from?

Her maid killed her to frame Xiang Suining, couldn't it be that Xiang Yan was behind the scenes?

By heaven.

Even if you die, you must die innocently.

Lu Yu was still humming in the back hall, because he was gagged, and couldn't hear what he was saying.

"Xiang Suining, don't tell me, I didn't give you a chance." Master Qingcheng knocked on the gavel again: "If you don't confess again, I will punish you."

"Is your lord going to be beaten into a trick?" Xiang Suining disdained: "In front of the First Prince, is your lord going to be beaten into a trick?"

Guo Cong didn't speak.

Master Qingcheng thought of the bag of gold in the back hall, and his heart warmed.

The tongue is as bright as the lotus, but it is not as solid as gold.

"Eldest Prince, according to my opinion, the evidence that Suining harmed Princess Lu is complete. This case will not last long, and the emperor is still waiting for news."

Guo Cong nodded.

"According to this officer, she will not confess if she is not punished. Using torture is not a form of torture, but just to make her confess as soon as possible. Besides, it is not wronging her. What does the First Prince think?"

Guo Cong nodded.

The yamen servant with a stick came forward.

It's damn oppressive.

But Xiang Suining made up his mind.

A soldier can be killed but not humiliated.

I admit that I am dead.

If you don't admit it, you are probably dead.

It's better not to admit it.

Why bear such a vicious reputation.

I don't live by myself.

Mrs. Xiang is still alive.

My mother is still alive.

Guo Xin also has to live.

Gotta think about them.

The people in the hall seemed to have guessed what she was thinking: "You are going to beat me to death and refuse to admit it, right?"

"Correct."

"Well, I want to see how long you can last."

Guo Cong had to remind Master Qingcheng who was directly above him. For example, Xiang Suining's father was an official of Xuanguo, and he went to court every day, but he didn't see him when he looked up, or Lu Yu was a fourth-rank doctor who healed the emperor. That Lan Fai, the princess's, is not easy to mess with.

Master Qingcheng doesn't know this.

Before the trial of the case, he didn't know the pros and cons clearly.

Not as good as gold.

Gold is real.

Besides, the evidence is fresh and hot.

"Come on—" Master Qingcheng let out a long snort, "Call me——beat until she can."

As soon as the master's stick landed, the yamen servants rushed forward, as if they were afraid that they would not get a good position, they stood around Mingzhu, and the crackling sticks fell on Mingzhu.

Mingzhu had just been beaten, her skin was almost torn apart.

Now being beaten with a stick is like cutting flesh.

She didn't want to shout in front of Xiang Suining, she was afraid that the second girl would be sad, but she couldn't hold back.

After hitting ten sticks, Master Qingcheng waved his hand.

The servants stopped.

"Miss Xianger, what are you thinking about, whether to recruit or not."

Crystal tears rolled down from the corner of Xiang Suining's eyes.

"Our girl...is innocent, you can't...frame her..." Mingzhu spoke intermittently.She couldn't hold on any longer, and the blood kept flowing out of her mouth.

"I'd like to see if it's your stubbornness, or the stick in the official hall."

Another stick.

The sticks in the hands of several yamen servants fell again, like rain, red blood rain.

"Girl...it doesn't matter if I die...I can die for the girl...I'm happy to die...Girl is fine...don't admit it...you will die if you admit it...don't admit it...please Don't..." Mingzhu's voice became weaker and weaker, and the weak ones gradually became inaudible.

The blood flowed out of her mouth one by one, bright red all over the place.

The cold snow water fell into Xiang Suining's eyes.

So cold, so sour, so painful.

Lu Yu in the back hall saw all this vaguely through the window lattice.

At this time, I can't wait to fight with these people.

But the yamen servant pressed him against the wall. At this moment, he couldn't move, couldn't save her, and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

His eye circles were red.

a bit.

a bit.

In the end, Xiang Suining softened his heart.

"Don't hit her...don't hit her...I admit it." Tears welled up in Xiang Suining's eyes: "Don't hit her anymore."

The stick that fell on Mingzhu stopped abruptly.

Master Qingcheng tilted his head, as if he couldn't hear clearly, and asked with his ears sideways: "What did you say, do you admit it? Do you really want to admit it?"

"really."

"Well, tell yourself, what do you recognize?"
