Cute Wife Divorce Husband: Black-bellied Prince and Little Dumb Concubine

Chapter 137 The Way Is Ruthless But Sentimental (Death Penalty)

"But there are people who testify that you and Mr. Su met in the suburbs and exchanged privately. There are jade pendants and fans as evidence. But because of disagreements and disputes, you did the murder. Even if you didn't mean it, this person is dead. Already!"

The gavel slapped the table violently, "Can you admit it?!"

"No! I'd rather have something I don't have than Qingqing, and I will never bear it. I came out with my younger brother, and he had to leave first—"

Before he finished speaking, the man slapped the table and stood up, "It's nonsense! Mr. Ning had a banquet in Tianxiang Tower that day, and went to the army early in the morning on the second day. I asked the people in Ning's mansion and said the same. Mr. Ning didn't bring any You came out, it was you who secretly dated Mr. Su!"

Cursed softly, "You stupid official! You are full of nonsense!"

The jailer got angry, "I think you're not going to fight anymore! The superior officer said that Marquis Ning didn't want to recognize you, a daughter of a corrupt family. If so, you're just a commoner."

There is an unwritten practice in the Northern Qi Dynasty that officials and officials are exempt from torture to extract confessions.However, if this is unwritten, it is unwritten. How many officials of the Ministry of Punishment are tortured every year.

"Come here, put on the torture device."

The rows of torture instruments were of all kinds, and the bloodstains over the years had dried into black paint, just looking at them made one's hair stand on end.

After being sentenced, Qingqing realized how weak her will was.She was born very afraid of pain, so she nodded after just a few strokes.

"Okay. Let me say something, and you repeat it. Finally, sign and pledge."

At this time, Qingqing's heart was ashamed, everyone wanted her to die, even her father didn't recognize her, so it would be better if she died earlier, so she responded to the crimes one by one.

"I, Ning Qingqing—" the faint official was thinking.

"I, Ning Qingwei," Qingqing's eyes were ashen, and he just repeated mechanically, "I have had a long-standing grudge with Mr. Su, and I took this opportunity to meet and play with him in the suburbs..."

Ning finished repeating the charges lightly, and finally asked someone to hold his hand and press his fingerprints.This confession turned out to be a crime of premeditated homicide.

In the case file, Second Young Master Su's intentions were wrong, and he didn't mention a word.

Ning Qingqing and Mr. Su had known each other for a long time and had a feud. On the day of the incident, he stabbed Mr. Su to death with a hairpin on the pretext of asking Mr. Su to play in the suburbs.She should have been sentenced to death by hanging or beheaded for homicide, but since she was a courtesan, she was given a reduced crime, sentenced to eighty sticks, tattooed on her face, and exiled to Mobei.

With a staff of eighty, a person is basically disabled.And the tattoo [qing]mian basically cut off a woman's life. If she doesn't need to go to Mobei, this person will probably die in prison.

The Su family is satisfied with this verdict.But the officials above the Ministry of Punishments held the verdict and didn't fall asleep all night.

Because I can't figure out Ning Hou's true meaning.

He has children himself, and Ning Hou said that he would break away from the relationship between father and daughter, but people's hearts are strong. If Ning Hou asks for a retrial after the dossier is brought out, it may not be possible to reverse the case. case, his official hat is not secure.

At dusk, Wangfu study.

Fuquan rushed over when he got the news, "My lord, it's not good. The princess—"

As soon as the words came out, I knew I had said the wrong thing.

"Second Miss Ning, she has been sentenced, and it is said that she will be exiled with a tattoo on her face."

Xiao Zijun was looking at the booklet, when he heard the words, he put down his pen, his eyes were indifferent, and he said lightly, "Change my tea."

Fuquan got tea in exchange, but he still didn't give up, "My lord, I just heard that—"

Before the words were finished, there was a "bang", and the cup of hot tea fell to the ground, spilling it all on the ground.

"It's irrelevant, don't inquire about it in the future!"

The prince was angry.

"Yes... the slave is talking too much—"

Fuquan secretly tidied up the broken lamps on the ground, and withdrew quietly, somewhat aggrieved in his heart.

Seeing that Fuquan walked out dejectedly, Gao Ming said, "How is it?"

Fuquan shook his head.

Gao Ming knew that he had failed again.In the afternoon, when the prince couldn't sleep and was practicing the sword, he had already mentioned the case to the prince. Unexpectedly, the prince was angry and chopped down the flowers and trees with his sword.

It seems that up to now, the prince still has no solution to the concubine's knot.

Quietly went to the officials to inquire, and said that the second daughter of Ninghou and the second son of the Su family had been drinking in the suburbs, and stabbed the second son of the Su family to death with a hairpin. Ninghou did not recognize this daughter. , if not, I'm afraid it will be a decisive decision.

Luo You also came from outside and asked if the prince knew about the concubine.

Gao Ming told the truth, Luo You showed anxiety on his face.

In the afternoon, Qing Chuan, who hadn't seen him for a long time, suddenly came to him and cried, saying that the princess had suffered all kinds of mistreatment a while ago, and that the case of the second lady was an oolong case.

Seeing that Qing Chuan hadn't seen him for a month, Luo You actually became rather haggard. Thinking of how she was pampered in the palace before, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and the princess always treated Luo You well.

"My lord is angry now, so let's not bother him. It's okay for us to talk about it after his anger subsides."

……

At night, Fuquan stood by and worked in Wang Ye's study.

The atmosphere was originally very quiet.

Suddenly, the prince rolled up the paperwork on the case and threw it aside.

Fuquan trembled in fright, only to hear the prince vomit: "Get out!"

Fuquan didn't dare to intervene, and went out honestly.

That night, the light in the study room was always on, it was past midnight, Fu Quan didn't stay up and fell asleep, as for when the prince would take a rest, he no longer knew.

Only when the sky was slightly bright, Fuquan woke up with a start.

He only heard the creaking of the door of Dongnuange, Fuquan hurriedly put on his clothes and came out, only to see the prince walking out, still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, looking a little tired, as if he hadn't closed his eyes all night.

At this time, the guard Gao also heard the news.

The prince didn't look at them with a cold face, and only ordered in a low voice.

"Gao Ming, prepare the horses. Go to the Xifu Camp—"

Gao Ming suddenly remembered the prince's arrangement in the morning, the Xifu Army had military affairs to deal with.

It's just that in this way, I think the prince will not care about Miss Ning's case today.

King Jin jumped on his horse, swung his whip and left.

On the long street, Jin Wang and his party rode their horses and galloped at an astonishing speed, and people avoided them one after another.

Suddenly, a girl rushed out from the stab, standing in the middle of the street with her arms crossed.

"My lord!"

"My lord!"

It was none other than Qingchuan who shouted loudly.

It was Luo You who saw Qingchuan first.

"My lord, it's Qingchuan!" Luo You reminded the lord.

"My lord—"

Seeing that the prince's horse didn't show any intention of stopping, Luo You's horse jumped in front of the prince because he was worried that Qing Chuan would be injured.

According to etiquette, it is extremely disrespectful for a subordinate's horse to run ahead of its master's horse without permission.

The steed neighed, and King Jin's horse stopped urgently.

Luo You got off the horse and wanted to stop Qingchuan, but he was worried that she would speak impulsively and make the prince even more angry.

On the contrary, Qingchuan pushed Luo You away angrily, and took a step forward, her posture really had the temper of her young master.

"My lord is really cold-hearted!"

"Do you think you can clean it up like this?"

"Second Miss went out with my young master, how could she premeditate? My son came back drunk, but the young lady didn't come back. Could it be that there is no way inside?"

　(Speaking of titles, the young master is generally called the young master by slaves, and the outsider is called the son, and the honorific title. For a while, the son and the young master were mixed.)
