The Pastoral Empress Merchant
Chapter 746
Chapter 746
What happened in front of the gate of Duke Mo's mansion quickly spread throughout the capital. Everyone was shocked by this incident. They couldn't believe that their young and outstanding champion Lang would be an ungrateful man who played with women's feelings Well, he is simply another Chen Shimei, and the two of them have a child together. Since he took the woman's innocence, he should be responsible for her!
In the past, it was because I said that I would take the imperial examination, but now that the imperial examination has been completed, I should fulfill my promise to marry someone as a wife, and give them the same status as mother and child, right?
There were also some who argued that they couldn't blame Zhuangyuan Lang entirely, that woman was not a good person after all, if she was a woman from a good family, how could she lose her innocence before she had any status or marriage?Is this what a good woman should do?And I don't know whether this matter is true or not. What the woman said is full of loopholes, so I can't believe it at all. Maybe someone deliberately ordered her to frame Zhuangyuanlang, with the purpose of destroying Zhuangyuanlang!
The public said that the public was right and the old woman said that the woman was reasonable. The people in the capital were divided into three factions. One group thought that what the champion Lang Mu Jinhua did was against the words of the saints. In terms of things, he is not worthy to be the number one scholar of Dachu. The emperor should cancel his title of number one scholar, as well as his results in the imperial examination. Such a person really should not be an official in the court, because he has made A bad example!
One group of people think that Mu Jinhua may be wronged in this matter, because the matter has not been found out yet, and if the woman was sent by someone else to deliberately frame him, it would be unfair to him to make a rash decision before the investigation is made. Wouldn't that allow the bad guys to succeed?And he doesn't look like that kind of despicable and shameless person, he has been in the capital for a long time, and his schoolmates in the Imperial College know his character, and he doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing .
There is another faction that remains neutral, neither saying that Mu Jinhua is wrong, but also not saying that he is right. In short, the meaning is that everything will not be known until the truth is revealed. It is too early to say!
Because the person involved in this incident was the current champion of the new department, and the disturbance was in front of the gate of the Duke of Mo's mansion, so not only the people in the capital knew about it, but even the emperor in the palace knew about it. At that time, Doctor Yushi stood up and asked the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly and return everyone the truth.Because the impact of this matter is too great, if what the woman said is true, then Mu Jinhua is not worthy of being the number one scholar, nor is he worthy of being an official in the court. He should be deprived of all his fame, demoted to a commoner, and never be an official , No longer take the imperial examination!
If what the woman said was false, she would be spreading rumors and causing trouble, framing and slandering the court and ordering officials to be sentenced to death!We can also give Mu Jinhua justice, and we must find out the instigators behind the scenes and punish them severely. We can't lose the hearts of the people because of this, and make the people feel that the court is useless.So it is necessary to investigate clearly, so as to be correct!
The emperor was also very angry when he heard about this incident, and immediately ordered the governor of Jingzhao to thoroughly investigate this matter, and other relevant personnel must cooperate with the thorough investigation of the governor of Jingzhao, and must investigate clearly in the shortest possible time , Give everyone the truth!
It is rare for Juelin to stand up and say that he wants to participate in the thorough investigation of the matter. Naturally, some officials objected, because everyone knows that Mu Jinhua is the brother-in-law of the young prince Juelin. Who knows if he will participate in it? Will favoritism?
The emperor ignored those who objected, and after thinking about it, he agreed to Juelin, but he also asked the eldest prince and the second prince to assist in supervision, so that everyone would have no objections. Everyone knew that the second prince had always been Juelin's younger brother. The prince's deadly enemy, with the second prince around, even if the young prince Juelin wanted to do something, he probably would have no chance.
Naturally, Mu Jinhua was suspended because of this incident. The emperor ordered him not to leave the capital until the matter was clarified, and he did not need to worry about his position. When the truth of the matter came to light, he would be reinstated!
Mu Jinhua was shocked all of a sudden. He felt that his future was bleak, even dark. He never thought that his life would take such a big turning point. Not long ago, he was full of vigor, but now he was ordered to suspend by the emperor. Waiting in the mansion for when the matter will be clarified before returning to the official position.But if the matter is not clear and the people behind Yao Fenghua succeed in their conspiracy, will he have to be like this for the rest of his life?
The Xiao mansion was gloomy, and the old man Xiao was almost so angry that he fell ill. On the one hand, he hated the people behind the incident, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for his grandson, because he had already seen that, no matter what the outcome of the matter was, How about it, this incident has already caused harm to his grandson, and I'm afraid it will become a knot in his heart, and even change him. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing!
Although Mu Jinxi was pregnant, Jue Lin told her to wait in the mansion without worrying too much, but she couldn't sit still, and the next day she went back to Xiao's mansion in a sedan chair, and then told Yao Fenghua about it Everyone, everyone couldn't help yelling at Yao Fenghua after hearing this.
"Xiao Xi, what's the matter with that child? Since Xiao Hua has never had a relationship with that woman, why is there a child who is somewhat similar to Xiao Hua?" Master Xiao was puzzled by this.
Mu Jinxi said disapprovingly: "Uncle, there are so many people in this world, so it's not surprising that there are a few who look similar. This child must be deliberately found by someone behind the scenes to confuse everyone."
"Ah? Well, there is such a thing, so what shall we do? Xiao Xi, your uncle has seen that child and said that he is indeed somewhat similar to Xiao Hua. If that woman insists that the child belongs to Xiao Hua, That Xiaohua really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it off!" Xiao Nianxun and Mu Ankang were so anxious that they were about to get angry.
"Since it's not Xiaohua's, wouldn't it be enough to confess with a drop of blood?" Xiao Xiao asked with a frown.
"Yes, we can let that child and Xiao Hua have a bloody confession!" Everyone was overjoyed.
But Mu Jinxi shook her head and said, "Blood recognition is not feasible. Do you think that if you want this, the people behind the scenes can't think of it? Now that you think about it, there will definitely be precautions. I'm afraid it will happen at that time." Self-defeating, the reputation of the elder brother has fallen even further."
Everyone's excited hearts suddenly fell from the clouds again.
"Brother, what do you think about the matter?" Mu Jinxi couldn't help asking when she saw her elder brother sitting silently by the side, depressed.
Mu Jinhua showed a wry smile, "Xiaoxi, it's useless to be the eldest brother, and the eldest brother doesn't know what to do. Yao Fenghua came prepared. At the beginning, no one knew about the matter between me and her except the few of us." Well, even if we deny it, what's the use? And that child, as long as others see it, I'm afraid they will think it's mine, right?"
It's ridiculous, doesn't it mean that only father and son relatives look similar?Then why is there a person who has nothing to do with him that looks somewhat similar to him?He had never even touched Yao Fenghua back then, so how could he have a child?
Thinking about it, I don't know what came to mind, Mu Jinhua regained her energy slightly, a light flashed in her eyes, and said eagerly: "Xiao Xi, didn't you say that Yao Fenghua had already been with other men before he knew me? A child was born? Does that mean we just need to find that child and that man to prove my innocence?"
After hearing Mu Jinhua's words, everyone thought it was a good idea. As long as they found the woman's child and mistress, wouldn't Xiao Hua be cleared of the crime?
Mu Jinxi paused.Seeing the light in her eldest brother's eyes, she really couldn't bear to shatter his hope, but...
"Do you think the person behind this scene will not handle this well? He will leave this big hole for us?"
This... everyone is disappointed again.
The same is true for Mu Jinhua, as if all the strength in her body was drained all of a sudden.
"Forget it, let's treat this dead horse as a living horse doctor, Ah Xiao, go to Jingzhao Mansion immediately, tell this clue to Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and ask him to send someone to Taohua Town as soon as possible, and it is best That is to send someone secretly. I also want to write a letter to talk to shopkeeper Zhang, and ask him to seize the time to send someone to investigate and see if he can find something that can be used. Her uncle planned Yao Fenghua's design of Big Brother back then. Let's see if we can find her uncle."
Xiao Xiao immediately stood up and said, "Okay, I see, I'll go right away."
"Uncle, did you send someone to keep an eye on that woman?" Mu Jinxi asked.
Master Xiao said: "Don't worry, my uncle should have sent someone to watch secretly last night. The people behind this woman's backstage will definitely make some moves. I don't know how they got in touch."
"I have already asked people to attack people around me. I suspect that the people behind the scenes are actually targeting me. Maybe they have nothing to do with me, so they attack my elder brother. It is very likely that I have been implicated. Brother." Mu Jinxi thought for a while and still spoke out her guess, and then looked at Mu Jinhua with some guilt.
Mu Jinhua was startled, then smiled wryly and said, "Xiaoxi, it's none of your business. Yao Fenghua's incident existed in the first place, and that person just took advantage of it. He's not that person today, and maybe he will in the future." It's someone else. It's all the elder brother's fault, if the elder brother hadn't stopped you and told you to kill Yao Fenghua—maybe nothing like today would have happened."
He paused for a moment before saying bitterly: "Brother now understands that some people are not worthy of forgiveness, nor are they worthy of being given a chance. Simply being a good person doesn't mean you can get good rewards. That's not what good people do."
Mu Jinxi frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with what he said, "Brother, you shouldn't think that way, Yao Fenghua is just an individual. I used to say that you are too soft-hearted, you are too soft-hearted, but it doesn't mean that your kindness is A mistake, do you understand?"
Master Xiao also said: "Yes, Xiao Hua, there is nothing wrong with your kindness, but you must not have the heart to harm others, nor the heart to guard against others. You just lack the heart to guard against others. Don't be so cruel because of this viciousness. It's not worth it for a woman to doubt herself, you know?"
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm just feeling a little bit suddenly." Mu Jinhua said with the corners of her mouth twitching.
Xiao Nianxun also said: "Xiao Hua, you must cheer up at this time, you know? Look at your grandfather who fell ill because of your affairs. If you don't cheer up yourself, what do you ask us people to do? "
Mu Ankang approached his wife and said in a low voice, "Won't it make the child feel more uncomfortable by saying this?"
Xiao Nianxun was slightly startled, blinked his eyes as if he came to his senses at this moment, thinking that what he said just now seemed to be true...
"Father, mother, don't worry, I will cheer up." Mu Jinhua forced a smile.
Mu Jinxi looked at him and frowned. She wanted to say something but finally chose not to say it. It is useless to say more at this time. Only when the matter is resolved will the elder brother get out of the blow of this matter.
This matter continued to ferment in the capital, and it tended to become more and more serious. Yao Fenghua kept clamoring for justice, asking Mu Jinhua, and the Mu family to give her an explanation, and more and more people were discussing this matter. Ask Jingzhao Mansion to tell everyone the truth as soon as possible, and we can't delay like this any longer. Who knows if procrastinating this matter will become a headless case?
The Jingzhao Mansion had to report to the emperor, and then set a date for a public trial. Originally, this was just a private matter between Mu Jinhua and the Mu family, and it would not be brought to the Jingzhao Mansion for trial, but who called Mu Jinhua the new champion? Woolen cloth?This status does not allow this matter to be handled as a private matter, and now people in the entire capital are paying attention to this matter, and they can't be private if they want to, so it can only be handled as a public case.
But after the date is set, the people in the Xiao Mansion are not happy at all, because they haven't found any useful information about it so far. If the Jingzhao Mansion publicly censors this matter, they will definitely suffer. Xiao Hua!Wouldn't Xiao Hua have to be convicted of this crime by then?The people who were sent to Xiushui Village, Taohua Town did not get any news back, but they could use this point to ask Lord Yin Cao of Jingzhao Prefecture to delay the review time, but now there is no news at all!
Not to mention Mu Jinhua, he was almost desperate.More than half a month has passed from that day to now, and he feels that this half month is the most difficult time in his life. He was suspended in the mansion, let alone doing other things, he didn't even go out. He didn't dare, he was afraid of seeing other people's strange eyes and hearing others' ridicule and humiliation, so he stayed in the mansion for more than half a month, and didn't even go out once.
He felt that the sky above his head had darkened, and it would soon be the day when Jingzhao Prefecture Yin publicly interrogated this matter, but neither the people sent by his uncle to Taohua Town nor Xiaoxi had any news. Well, the people who planned this matter really wanted to destroy him, all the back roads were blocked and cut off, and there was nothing they could do!
Is this God going to kill him?Because he was soft-hearted at the beginning, but in the end he caused such a big disaster for himself, this vicious woman Yao Fenghua really wanted to destroy him this time!
When it came time for the public interrogation of this matter, not only people related to Mu Jinhua went to Jingzhao Mansion, but outside Jingzhao Mansion there were layers of crowds surrounded by people in the capital, and everyone was very happy. I want to know the truth of this matter, whether Zhuangyuan Lang has done such a thing, this matter has been delayed for more than half a month, the truth should be revealed today, right?
Mu Jinxi also came here with a big belly, and now her belly has gradually grown, but because she has been worrying about Mu Jinhua for more than half a month, so instead of gaining weight because of pregnancy, her whole body She looked a little thin, but her spirit was still as good as ever, her apricot eyes shone with an unusually firm light, which made those people who had always believed in Mu Jinhua feel restless and impatient when they saw her.
Jue Lin, on the other hand, had a dark face. He carefully supported his wife the whole time without saying a word. If he didn't know, he would think that he was dissatisfied with his wife's dissatisfaction with his brother-in-law, but everyone knew that he In the past half a month, he has been trying his best to solve this matter. Apart from his official duties, most of the rest of his time is spent on investigating this matter.
Today's interrogation is really different. Not only the prime minister is sitting in the courtroom, but even the first prince and the second prince are here. The first prince is sitting upright on the other side, and the second prince looks a little foolish. He sees After Mu Jinxi came over, she ran over and asked a few words with concern, which confused everyone and made the eldest prince frown slightly.
Mu Jinhua was the last to arrive, and he met Mo Xuerui before he came.When he saw Mo Xuerui, he actually had the urge to escape, he was even afraid of seeing some strange expression on her face, if that was the case, he didn't know how he would feel.But no, she was still the same as before, she ran over and told herself not to give up until the end, she believed in him like Xiaoxi believed in him, she said she knew he hadn't done that, knew he wasn't like that people.
Now he recalled her expression when she said these words, and her eyes full of trust in him, and he felt warm in his heart, as if a ray of light shone into his somewhat dark heart at this time, making his His heart skipped a beat. Apart from his family, there were still other people who believed in him so much, which gave him a little more confidence.
Xue Rui, she... She is a good woman, a very good woman.
After the relevant people came one after another, Master Yin Cao of Jingzhao Mansion ordered people to bring the woman and the child who had been staying in his mansion.
To be honest, if he believed in this woman and doubted Mu Jinhua at the beginning, then he has been very sure that this woman has been instigated by some people since she lived in his house for more than half a month , deliberately framed Mu Jinhua, because what she did did not match what she said at all, and he even suspected that this child who looked somewhat similar to Mu Jinhua was not this woman's child at all. Not at all like a mother!
But as the chief interrogator, he has to maintain a neutral attitude. He will not favor anyone, he only favors justice and truth, who is right and who is wrong, I believe there will be a result soon, and this woman will eventually fight for He paid the due price for his actions, the truth cannot be fake, and the fake cannot be true. He can see the inappropriateness of this woman, and I believe Prime Minister Xiao and the young prince Juelin can also see it.
He just didn’t know if they could find any evidence. He heard that Prime Minister Xiao and Jue Lin also sent people to Xiushui Village, Taohua Town, but they didn’t find any evidence to prove Mu Jinhua’s innocence. On the contrary, Xiushui Village Some people actually said that they had indeed seen Mu Jinhua getting close to a woman with an ambiguous attitude. What these people said would be even more detrimental to Mu Jinhua.
But this also shows that this incident was indeed instigated by someone behind the scenes, otherwise they wouldn't have bribed the people from Xiushui Village to say such things before they sent people to Xiushui Village.
Before today, he made an exception and asked his wife to secretly remind Mrs. Xiao, but Mrs. Xiao said that the little princess told him to do what he did, without any scruples, and he was confused again. Could it be that the little princess found something? If it is beneficial, why not show it?Isn't she worried about what happened today?
He believes that justice is at ease, but if Mu Jinhua's life is the price, that would be too much.
After Yao Fenghua was brought up, he saw Mu Jinhua and immediately said to the children beside him: "Son, call him daddy, this is your daddy, call him quickly, call him, maybe he will recognize our mother and son."
The child beside Yao Fenghua timidly opened a pair of eyes somewhat similar to Mu Jinhua's, and after a long time, under her urging, he yelled like a mosquito: "Daddy, Daddy."
Mu Jinhua snorted expressionlessly and said, "You called the wrong person, I'm not your father."
"Brother Mu!" Yao Fenghua yelled sadly, looking at Mu Jinhua with affectionate eyes, "Brother Mu, are you really so cruel? I know I'm not good enough for you now, and I don't deserve you anymore. I never thought that I could continue my relationship with you, but, but you have to recognize Hua'er, he is your son!"
Mu Jinhua stared at Yao Fenghua in disgust and resentment, gritted her teeth and said, "I have never touched you, how come your son? You saw my Mu family getting richer and richer, so you joined forces with your uncle to design me. Your so-called life-saving grace It was a premeditated calculation. You lied to me that you stayed unmarried to honor your parents, but you already had an unclear relationship with other men and gave birth to a son. I pity you, I just gave you a way out after dismantling your deception, without reporting to the police, I never thought you would turn to bite me now, it's really hateful!"
What Mu Jinhua said caused an uproar among the onlookers.
Yao Fenghua was also taken aback, and then a panic flashed uncontrollably on her face, she didn't expect that he would suddenly expose her details here, but thinking of what the man said to her before she came, she immediately ordered herself Calm down.
"Brother Mu, I don't know what you are talking about, what kind of calculation, what premeditation, and how can you say that about me, I gave you my innocence!" Yao Fenghua's eyes gleamed viciously, anyway Mu Jinhua was groundless, what evidence did he have to prove that he never touched her?But now she has a son who looks very similar to him!
When someone found her that day and asked her to bring her so-called son to the capital to find Mu Jinhua, she still thought it was very ridiculous. She had nothing to do with Mu Jinhua at all. Where did the son come from?What's more, what's the reason why she ran all the way to the capital to find him? Back then, her deception was exposed and she was almost going to jail. His sister is not easy to mess with, so she wouldn't be so stupid as to run into her and kill herself Woolen cloth.
But later that person told himself that Mu Jinhua was actually the nephew of the current prime minister, and that Mu Jinxi also married into Prince Mu's mansion and became the little princess!Mu Jinhua herself has also achieved fame, and she is just short of the final palace examination. If she is lucky in the palace examination, she may be the number one in the examination. Does she really not want to climb to the top?If she did what he said, he might guarantee that he would enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of his life, which would be better than being poor in Peach Blossom Town, right?
She was still hesitant at first, but when that person told her the plan, she was moved. She felt that she should take a risk. Anyway, the person said that even if she didn't succeed in the end, she would save her life. What else is there to worry about?If she succeeds, she won't have to worry about it for the rest of her life, and she might still be an official wife.It doesn't matter if she doesn't succeed, she can use this matter to threaten that person and ask him to give her a sum of money. When she returns to Peach Blossom Town, she can still eat and drink spicy food, so why not do it?
It's been a while since she came to the capital, and that person kept asking her to wait for the most suitable time until the Duke of Mo's mansion wanted to hold a birthday banquet for Mrs. Mo, so he secretly notified her and asked her to end at the birthday banquet When the wives and masters of the various mansions left, they rushed out and said those words in front of everyone, leaving Mu Jinhua speechless and unable to quibble!She wasn't worried that they would send someone to Taohua Town or even Xiushui Village to investigate, because that person had already arranged everything, and they couldn't find anything!
Hahaha, so she's not worried at all, it's just that she has a guilty conscience, but it doesn't matter, they don't have evidence, so they can only let her do whatever she says, even if it doesn't work in the end, it will at least ruin Mu Jinhua's reputation Ah isn't it?Then she also earned it. Who told Mu Jinhua to treat her like that back then? It was his luck that she liked him, but he dared to despise himself. Hmph, this is the consequence of despising her!
Don't let her feel bad about him!
Mu Jinhua was trembling with her outstretched fingers because of her shamelessness, she couldn't believe that there would be such a shameless and shameless person in this world, how could she have the face to say such a thing?clean?She didn't know when her innocence was thrown on which man, but she actually told him that she was innocent? !
"You, you, this bitch! I really regret letting you go. I shouldn't have persuaded her to let you go when Xiaoxi exposed you. I should have let her send you to the government. The government The dungeon is the most suitable place for you to stay! This time, this time I will not let you go, you just wait until the end, justice will return my innocence!" Mu Jinhua walked away furiously He went to the side and sat down, never looking at Yao Fenghua again.
He felt that looking at her again would stain his eyes!
Yao Fenghua was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to hear such a truth.It turned out that it was because Mu Jinxi dismantled herself but didn't send herself to the government because he begged for it?Haha, but so what?Who wants him to pretend to be kind?If he had really been so kind, he would not have told Mu Jinxi about their affairs, and Mu Jinxi would have no chance to expose herself. Now she is probably the wife of the number one scholar, so why would she do such a thing?
Mr. Cao couldn't help frowning when he heard the conversation between the two, and he was even more sure that this matter was a conspiracy, but what happened to this child?Judging from Mu Jinhua's appearance, it didn't seem like she was lying, on the contrary, the guilty conscience flashed across the face of this woman from time to time, and the panic had already betrayed her.
"Lord Cao, since all the people who should come have come, can I start the interrogation?" The second prince asked lazily.
"Naturally, of course we can start."
"Lord Cao, this prince has never tried to interrogate a prisoner, why don't you leave it to me this time?" The second prince asked with squinted eyes.
Master Cao's mouth twitched slightly.
"Second brother, don't mess around! This matter is very important, and it concerns the innocence of Mu Zhuangyuan, how can you let me play?" The eldest prince said with a frown.
The second prince said foolishly: "Brother, it is because the matter is so important that the second brother came. I am the prince, the second brother. If this woman dares to tell lies to the prince, the prince will kill her a thousand times." Cut to death! But if it were Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao would not have the guts. My identity can deter criminals!"
As the second prince spoke, his gloomy gaze still swept across Yao Fenghua's body as if there was nothing. She was so frightened that her legs softened, and she knelt down on the ground with a plop, and the children beside her also knelt down in a panic. Poor My child is still young, and he doesn't know what happened, so he doesn't understand.
"Lord Cao, why don't you say anything? Are you looking down on me?" The second prince's expression darkened, and he became unhappy.
"No, no, no, if I don't have it, then the second prince will interrogate me, I'll listen, I'll listen." Mr. Cao was also happy to throw this hot potato out, but he just hoped that the second prince wouldn't be here at this time because of He Jue. Because of the personal grievances between Prince Lin and doing something on purpose, this is fatal!
"Second prince, please handle it impartially." Master Cao said boldly after thinking about it.
The second prince cast a sidelong glance at Mr. Cao and sneered, which made Mr. Cao's mouth twitch slightly again.
The first prince frowned, originally he wanted to stop it, but he didn't know what he thought of, and in the end he didn't say anything. The second prince swaggered up to the courtroom and sat in Mr. Cao's seat.
"Well, who is that kneeling person?" The second prince asked, slapping the gavel.
Yao Fenghua's heart trembled, he swallowed, tried hard to calm down, and stammered, "I, I—"
"Bold! How dare you call yourself me in front of this prince? Come on, hit ten boards first, let her learn a lesson!" The second prince was furious, and ordered people to start the fight without saying a word.
"Second prince, this, is this wrong?" Mr. Cao was startled, the wound on Yao Fenghua's body kicked by the young prince Juelin has not completely healed, what if someone is beaten to death?
The people in the courtroom were also shocked, confused by the second prince's irrational move.
"What's wrong? What is her identity? Even if what she said is true, even if she is Mu Jinhua's wife, she is not qualified to call herself me in front of this prince. Besides, she is nothing now! She Is this despising the majesty of the prince? To despise the majesty of the prince is to despise the majesty of the Chu royal family. The prince just wants to hit her ten times, which is already very light! What else do you want?" The second prince said angrily As he said that, he slapped the gavel in his hand again.
Mr. Cao felt his heart skip a beat, and he was a little speechless, because what the second prince said seemed to make sense.
"Didn't you hear my prince's words? Hit ten boards!" The second prince said, looked around, took out a red lottery from the lottery and threw it down, making Mr. Cao open his mouth to say something, but It was obviously too late.
The people below have moved to Xingdeng quickly, and pushed Yao Fenghua who hadn't reacted to it. One of them raised the board and hit Yao Fenghua's buttocks. Yao Fenghua opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, he became There was a scream.
"Ah! My lord, spare my life, my lord! I——no, no, no, the woman knows I'm wrong!"
There was a silence in the courtroom, except for the slapping sound of the board hitting Yao Fenghua's body, there was no sound. Everyone was left speechless by this scene.
Even before the interrogation started, the second prince beat him up, what if he was beaten to death?Wouldn't Mu Jinhua's charges be borne for the rest of her life?Well, the second prince really did not get along with the young prince Juelin, so now he took his anger on the little princess's family, because Mu Jinhua was the eldest brother-in-law of the young prince Julin!
Hey, but didn't the second prince say that he has a good relationship with the little princess?Is it fake?Everyone remembered that there seemed to be a period of time last year when the second prince was often seen chasing the little princess.
The children around Yao Fenghua didn't know if they were frightened, and they fell to the ground, watching Yao Fenghua being beaten, they didn't cry or shout, and looked a little dazed.Mu Jinxi noticed the abnormality of this child.
She had suspected that this child was not Yao Fenghua's, but now she is even more certain. If he is really Yao Fenghua's child, and seeing his mother being beaten, the child's first reaction should be to cry in fear, not like Now he is staring blankly at the beaten Yao Fenghua.
The more she looked at that child, the more she felt that something was wrong. That child looked like those who had been hypnotized in the previous life, listless. Could it be that the person who instructed Yao Fenghua did something to this child?
Mu Jinxi told Jue Lin about her doubts, and Jue Lin stared at the child and nodded in agreement, then called Master Cao, and told him about her doubts, Master Cao frowned, passing by him Having said that, it's really strange to look at this child again.Mr. Cao hurriedly ordered someone to secretly invite the best doctor in the capital to come, and if he needs it later, he will show the child to see if there is really a problem.If there is really something wrong with this child, then this matter is even more suspicious.
No matter how Yao Fenghua wailed and screamed, the people in the hall were unmoved. The people watching were a little pitiful and sympathetic to her, but they didn't dare to say anything. The second prince ordered the beating, in case the second prince got angry What if they even blamed it?
That's why Yao Fenghua didn't stop until she hit all ten boards, no more, no less.
"Not dead, are you?" The second prince asked with raised eyebrows.
"Back to the second prince, he is not dead, but he has not recovered yet."
"Oh, it's good that you haven't died yet. If you die, you will be in trouble. The prince hasn't started the interrogation yet." The second prince said with curled lips.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched again when they heard this. You also know that you haven't started the interrogation. Now that you know, why did you beat someone in the first place?Isn't this a suspicion of torture to extract a confession?
"Mr. Yao, please repeat what you said that day. How did you and Mu Jinhua meet each other? The details have been clarified by the prince, otherwise, ten boards will not be able to settle the matter!" The second prince slapped the gavel forcefully again.
Yao Fenghua's face was already pale at this time, and she felt sorry for her as a woman. Although her past life was not pampered and well-clothed, she didn't suffer much, let alone like today. She felt that she was about to die. After being kicked by Mu Jinxi's husband, her injuries are still not healed, and now she has been beaten ten more times, can she still survive?
Yao Fenghua suddenly felt regretful, this is completely different from what that person said, even if the incident broke out, these people would not do anything to her, now not only did they do it, but they also wanted her life!If she is dead, what's the point of all she did?She wanted to take revenge on Mu Jinhua, but she never thought of paying the price with her own life!Rather than taking revenge on Mu Jinhua, she wants to live a good life!
But now it's not her turn to regret it, the only way to save herself is to put the blame on Mu Jinhua.
Enduring the severe pain in his body, Yao Fenghua repeated the matter intermittently. Who knew that just after finishing speaking, the second prince slammed the gavel again, which made Yao Fenghua tremble in fright. Where did he say something wrong, which made the second prince angry.
"You dare to fool this prince. Do you think that you have played too few sticks? That's unreasonable. If that's the case, then hit ten more sticks!" The second prince said angrily. If you get a lottery, you will throw it away if you don't even look at it.
"Second prince! Don't do it!" Mr. Cao hurriedly rushed up to stop him, if he hit someone again, he would probably die!If you die, what trial will you have?
Did the second prince come to make trouble?
(End of this chapter)
What happened in front of the gate of Duke Mo's mansion quickly spread throughout the capital. Everyone was shocked by this incident. They couldn't believe that their young and outstanding champion Lang would be an ungrateful man who played with women's feelings Well, he is simply another Chen Shimei, and the two of them have a child together. Since he took the woman's innocence, he should be responsible for her!
In the past, it was because I said that I would take the imperial examination, but now that the imperial examination has been completed, I should fulfill my promise to marry someone as a wife, and give them the same status as mother and child, right?
There were also some who argued that they couldn't blame Zhuangyuan Lang entirely, that woman was not a good person after all, if she was a woman from a good family, how could she lose her innocence before she had any status or marriage?Is this what a good woman should do?And I don't know whether this matter is true or not. What the woman said is full of loopholes, so I can't believe it at all. Maybe someone deliberately ordered her to frame Zhuangyuanlang, with the purpose of destroying Zhuangyuanlang!
The public said that the public was right and the old woman said that the woman was reasonable. The people in the capital were divided into three factions. One group thought that what the champion Lang Mu Jinhua did was against the words of the saints. In terms of things, he is not worthy to be the number one scholar of Dachu. The emperor should cancel his title of number one scholar, as well as his results in the imperial examination. Such a person really should not be an official in the court, because he has made A bad example!
One group of people think that Mu Jinhua may be wronged in this matter, because the matter has not been found out yet, and if the woman was sent by someone else to deliberately frame him, it would be unfair to him to make a rash decision before the investigation is made. Wouldn't that allow the bad guys to succeed?And he doesn't look like that kind of despicable and shameless person, he has been in the capital for a long time, and his schoolmates in the Imperial College know his character, and he doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing .
There is another faction that remains neutral, neither saying that Mu Jinhua is wrong, but also not saying that he is right. In short, the meaning is that everything will not be known until the truth is revealed. It is too early to say!
Because the person involved in this incident was the current champion of the new department, and the disturbance was in front of the gate of the Duke of Mo's mansion, so not only the people in the capital knew about it, but even the emperor in the palace knew about it. At that time, Doctor Yushi stood up and asked the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly and return everyone the truth.Because the impact of this matter is too great, if what the woman said is true, then Mu Jinhua is not worthy of being the number one scholar, nor is he worthy of being an official in the court. He should be deprived of all his fame, demoted to a commoner, and never be an official , No longer take the imperial examination!
If what the woman said was false, she would be spreading rumors and causing trouble, framing and slandering the court and ordering officials to be sentenced to death!We can also give Mu Jinhua justice, and we must find out the instigators behind the scenes and punish them severely. We can't lose the hearts of the people because of this, and make the people feel that the court is useless.So it is necessary to investigate clearly, so as to be correct!
The emperor was also very angry when he heard about this incident, and immediately ordered the governor of Jingzhao to thoroughly investigate this matter, and other relevant personnel must cooperate with the thorough investigation of the governor of Jingzhao, and must investigate clearly in the shortest possible time , Give everyone the truth!
It is rare for Juelin to stand up and say that he wants to participate in the thorough investigation of the matter. Naturally, some officials objected, because everyone knows that Mu Jinhua is the brother-in-law of the young prince Juelin. Who knows if he will participate in it? Will favoritism?
The emperor ignored those who objected, and after thinking about it, he agreed to Juelin, but he also asked the eldest prince and the second prince to assist in supervision, so that everyone would have no objections. Everyone knew that the second prince had always been Juelin's younger brother. The prince's deadly enemy, with the second prince around, even if the young prince Juelin wanted to do something, he probably would have no chance.
Naturally, Mu Jinhua was suspended because of this incident. The emperor ordered him not to leave the capital until the matter was clarified, and he did not need to worry about his position. When the truth of the matter came to light, he would be reinstated!
Mu Jinhua was shocked all of a sudden. He felt that his future was bleak, even dark. He never thought that his life would take such a big turning point. Not long ago, he was full of vigor, but now he was ordered to suspend by the emperor. Waiting in the mansion for when the matter will be clarified before returning to the official position.But if the matter is not clear and the people behind Yao Fenghua succeed in their conspiracy, will he have to be like this for the rest of his life?
The Xiao mansion was gloomy, and the old man Xiao was almost so angry that he fell ill. On the one hand, he hated the people behind the incident, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for his grandson, because he had already seen that, no matter what the outcome of the matter was, How about it, this incident has already caused harm to his grandson, and I'm afraid it will become a knot in his heart, and even change him. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing!
Although Mu Jinxi was pregnant, Jue Lin told her to wait in the mansion without worrying too much, but she couldn't sit still, and the next day she went back to Xiao's mansion in a sedan chair, and then told Yao Fenghua about it Everyone, everyone couldn't help yelling at Yao Fenghua after hearing this.
"Xiao Xi, what's the matter with that child? Since Xiao Hua has never had a relationship with that woman, why is there a child who is somewhat similar to Xiao Hua?" Master Xiao was puzzled by this.
Mu Jinxi said disapprovingly: "Uncle, there are so many people in this world, so it's not surprising that there are a few who look similar. This child must be deliberately found by someone behind the scenes to confuse everyone."
"Ah? Well, there is such a thing, so what shall we do? Xiao Xi, your uncle has seen that child and said that he is indeed somewhat similar to Xiao Hua. If that woman insists that the child belongs to Xiao Hua, That Xiaohua really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it off!" Xiao Nianxun and Mu Ankang were so anxious that they were about to get angry.
"Since it's not Xiaohua's, wouldn't it be enough to confess with a drop of blood?" Xiao Xiao asked with a frown.
"Yes, we can let that child and Xiao Hua have a bloody confession!" Everyone was overjoyed.
But Mu Jinxi shook her head and said, "Blood recognition is not feasible. Do you think that if you want this, the people behind the scenes can't think of it? Now that you think about it, there will definitely be precautions. I'm afraid it will happen at that time." Self-defeating, the reputation of the elder brother has fallen even further."
Everyone's excited hearts suddenly fell from the clouds again.
"Brother, what do you think about the matter?" Mu Jinxi couldn't help asking when she saw her elder brother sitting silently by the side, depressed.
Mu Jinhua showed a wry smile, "Xiaoxi, it's useless to be the eldest brother, and the eldest brother doesn't know what to do. Yao Fenghua came prepared. At the beginning, no one knew about the matter between me and her except the few of us." Well, even if we deny it, what's the use? And that child, as long as others see it, I'm afraid they will think it's mine, right?"
It's ridiculous, doesn't it mean that only father and son relatives look similar?Then why is there a person who has nothing to do with him that looks somewhat similar to him?He had never even touched Yao Fenghua back then, so how could he have a child?
Thinking about it, I don't know what came to mind, Mu Jinhua regained her energy slightly, a light flashed in her eyes, and said eagerly: "Xiao Xi, didn't you say that Yao Fenghua had already been with other men before he knew me? A child was born? Does that mean we just need to find that child and that man to prove my innocence?"
After hearing Mu Jinhua's words, everyone thought it was a good idea. As long as they found the woman's child and mistress, wouldn't Xiao Hua be cleared of the crime?
Mu Jinxi paused.Seeing the light in her eldest brother's eyes, she really couldn't bear to shatter his hope, but...
"Do you think the person behind this scene will not handle this well? He will leave this big hole for us?"
This... everyone is disappointed again.
The same is true for Mu Jinhua, as if all the strength in her body was drained all of a sudden.
"Forget it, let's treat this dead horse as a living horse doctor, Ah Xiao, go to Jingzhao Mansion immediately, tell this clue to Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and ask him to send someone to Taohua Town as soon as possible, and it is best That is to send someone secretly. I also want to write a letter to talk to shopkeeper Zhang, and ask him to seize the time to send someone to investigate and see if he can find something that can be used. Her uncle planned Yao Fenghua's design of Big Brother back then. Let's see if we can find her uncle."
Xiao Xiao immediately stood up and said, "Okay, I see, I'll go right away."
"Uncle, did you send someone to keep an eye on that woman?" Mu Jinxi asked.
Master Xiao said: "Don't worry, my uncle should have sent someone to watch secretly last night. The people behind this woman's backstage will definitely make some moves. I don't know how they got in touch."
"I have already asked people to attack people around me. I suspect that the people behind the scenes are actually targeting me. Maybe they have nothing to do with me, so they attack my elder brother. It is very likely that I have been implicated. Brother." Mu Jinxi thought for a while and still spoke out her guess, and then looked at Mu Jinhua with some guilt.
Mu Jinhua was startled, then smiled wryly and said, "Xiaoxi, it's none of your business. Yao Fenghua's incident existed in the first place, and that person just took advantage of it. He's not that person today, and maybe he will in the future." It's someone else. It's all the elder brother's fault, if the elder brother hadn't stopped you and told you to kill Yao Fenghua—maybe nothing like today would have happened."
He paused for a moment before saying bitterly: "Brother now understands that some people are not worthy of forgiveness, nor are they worthy of being given a chance. Simply being a good person doesn't mean you can get good rewards. That's not what good people do."
Mu Jinxi frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with what he said, "Brother, you shouldn't think that way, Yao Fenghua is just an individual. I used to say that you are too soft-hearted, you are too soft-hearted, but it doesn't mean that your kindness is A mistake, do you understand?"
Master Xiao also said: "Yes, Xiao Hua, there is nothing wrong with your kindness, but you must not have the heart to harm others, nor the heart to guard against others. You just lack the heart to guard against others. Don't be so cruel because of this viciousness. It's not worth it for a woman to doubt herself, you know?"
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm just feeling a little bit suddenly." Mu Jinhua said with the corners of her mouth twitching.
Xiao Nianxun also said: "Xiao Hua, you must cheer up at this time, you know? Look at your grandfather who fell ill because of your affairs. If you don't cheer up yourself, what do you ask us people to do? "
Mu Ankang approached his wife and said in a low voice, "Won't it make the child feel more uncomfortable by saying this?"
Xiao Nianxun was slightly startled, blinked his eyes as if he came to his senses at this moment, thinking that what he said just now seemed to be true...
"Father, mother, don't worry, I will cheer up." Mu Jinhua forced a smile.
Mu Jinxi looked at him and frowned. She wanted to say something but finally chose not to say it. It is useless to say more at this time. Only when the matter is resolved will the elder brother get out of the blow of this matter.
This matter continued to ferment in the capital, and it tended to become more and more serious. Yao Fenghua kept clamoring for justice, asking Mu Jinhua, and the Mu family to give her an explanation, and more and more people were discussing this matter. Ask Jingzhao Mansion to tell everyone the truth as soon as possible, and we can't delay like this any longer. Who knows if procrastinating this matter will become a headless case?
The Jingzhao Mansion had to report to the emperor, and then set a date for a public trial. Originally, this was just a private matter between Mu Jinhua and the Mu family, and it would not be brought to the Jingzhao Mansion for trial, but who called Mu Jinhua the new champion? Woolen cloth?This status does not allow this matter to be handled as a private matter, and now people in the entire capital are paying attention to this matter, and they can't be private if they want to, so it can only be handled as a public case.
But after the date is set, the people in the Xiao Mansion are not happy at all, because they haven't found any useful information about it so far. If the Jingzhao Mansion publicly censors this matter, they will definitely suffer. Xiao Hua!Wouldn't Xiao Hua have to be convicted of this crime by then?The people who were sent to Xiushui Village, Taohua Town did not get any news back, but they could use this point to ask Lord Yin Cao of Jingzhao Prefecture to delay the review time, but now there is no news at all!
Not to mention Mu Jinhua, he was almost desperate.More than half a month has passed from that day to now, and he feels that this half month is the most difficult time in his life. He was suspended in the mansion, let alone doing other things, he didn't even go out. He didn't dare, he was afraid of seeing other people's strange eyes and hearing others' ridicule and humiliation, so he stayed in the mansion for more than half a month, and didn't even go out once.
He felt that the sky above his head had darkened, and it would soon be the day when Jingzhao Prefecture Yin publicly interrogated this matter, but neither the people sent by his uncle to Taohua Town nor Xiaoxi had any news. Well, the people who planned this matter really wanted to destroy him, all the back roads were blocked and cut off, and there was nothing they could do!
Is this God going to kill him?Because he was soft-hearted at the beginning, but in the end he caused such a big disaster for himself, this vicious woman Yao Fenghua really wanted to destroy him this time!
When it came time for the public interrogation of this matter, not only people related to Mu Jinhua went to Jingzhao Mansion, but outside Jingzhao Mansion there were layers of crowds surrounded by people in the capital, and everyone was very happy. I want to know the truth of this matter, whether Zhuangyuan Lang has done such a thing, this matter has been delayed for more than half a month, the truth should be revealed today, right?
Mu Jinxi also came here with a big belly, and now her belly has gradually grown, but because she has been worrying about Mu Jinhua for more than half a month, so instead of gaining weight because of pregnancy, her whole body She looked a little thin, but her spirit was still as good as ever, her apricot eyes shone with an unusually firm light, which made those people who had always believed in Mu Jinhua feel restless and impatient when they saw her.
Jue Lin, on the other hand, had a dark face. He carefully supported his wife the whole time without saying a word. If he didn't know, he would think that he was dissatisfied with his wife's dissatisfaction with his brother-in-law, but everyone knew that he In the past half a month, he has been trying his best to solve this matter. Apart from his official duties, most of the rest of his time is spent on investigating this matter.
Today's interrogation is really different. Not only the prime minister is sitting in the courtroom, but even the first prince and the second prince are here. The first prince is sitting upright on the other side, and the second prince looks a little foolish. He sees After Mu Jinxi came over, she ran over and asked a few words with concern, which confused everyone and made the eldest prince frown slightly.
Mu Jinhua was the last to arrive, and he met Mo Xuerui before he came.When he saw Mo Xuerui, he actually had the urge to escape, he was even afraid of seeing some strange expression on her face, if that was the case, he didn't know how he would feel.But no, she was still the same as before, she ran over and told herself not to give up until the end, she believed in him like Xiaoxi believed in him, she said she knew he hadn't done that, knew he wasn't like that people.
Now he recalled her expression when she said these words, and her eyes full of trust in him, and he felt warm in his heart, as if a ray of light shone into his somewhat dark heart at this time, making his His heart skipped a beat. Apart from his family, there were still other people who believed in him so much, which gave him a little more confidence.
Xue Rui, she... She is a good woman, a very good woman.
After the relevant people came one after another, Master Yin Cao of Jingzhao Mansion ordered people to bring the woman and the child who had been staying in his mansion.
To be honest, if he believed in this woman and doubted Mu Jinhua at the beginning, then he has been very sure that this woman has been instigated by some people since she lived in his house for more than half a month , deliberately framed Mu Jinhua, because what she did did not match what she said at all, and he even suspected that this child who looked somewhat similar to Mu Jinhua was not this woman's child at all. Not at all like a mother!
But as the chief interrogator, he has to maintain a neutral attitude. He will not favor anyone, he only favors justice and truth, who is right and who is wrong, I believe there will be a result soon, and this woman will eventually fight for He paid the due price for his actions, the truth cannot be fake, and the fake cannot be true. He can see the inappropriateness of this woman, and I believe Prime Minister Xiao and the young prince Juelin can also see it.
He just didn’t know if they could find any evidence. He heard that Prime Minister Xiao and Jue Lin also sent people to Xiushui Village, Taohua Town, but they didn’t find any evidence to prove Mu Jinhua’s innocence. On the contrary, Xiushui Village Some people actually said that they had indeed seen Mu Jinhua getting close to a woman with an ambiguous attitude. What these people said would be even more detrimental to Mu Jinhua.
But this also shows that this incident was indeed instigated by someone behind the scenes, otherwise they wouldn't have bribed the people from Xiushui Village to say such things before they sent people to Xiushui Village.
Before today, he made an exception and asked his wife to secretly remind Mrs. Xiao, but Mrs. Xiao said that the little princess told him to do what he did, without any scruples, and he was confused again. Could it be that the little princess found something? If it is beneficial, why not show it?Isn't she worried about what happened today?
He believes that justice is at ease, but if Mu Jinhua's life is the price, that would be too much.
After Yao Fenghua was brought up, he saw Mu Jinhua and immediately said to the children beside him: "Son, call him daddy, this is your daddy, call him quickly, call him, maybe he will recognize our mother and son."
The child beside Yao Fenghua timidly opened a pair of eyes somewhat similar to Mu Jinhua's, and after a long time, under her urging, he yelled like a mosquito: "Daddy, Daddy."
Mu Jinhua snorted expressionlessly and said, "You called the wrong person, I'm not your father."
"Brother Mu!" Yao Fenghua yelled sadly, looking at Mu Jinhua with affectionate eyes, "Brother Mu, are you really so cruel? I know I'm not good enough for you now, and I don't deserve you anymore. I never thought that I could continue my relationship with you, but, but you have to recognize Hua'er, he is your son!"
Mu Jinhua stared at Yao Fenghua in disgust and resentment, gritted her teeth and said, "I have never touched you, how come your son? You saw my Mu family getting richer and richer, so you joined forces with your uncle to design me. Your so-called life-saving grace It was a premeditated calculation. You lied to me that you stayed unmarried to honor your parents, but you already had an unclear relationship with other men and gave birth to a son. I pity you, I just gave you a way out after dismantling your deception, without reporting to the police, I never thought you would turn to bite me now, it's really hateful!"
What Mu Jinhua said caused an uproar among the onlookers.
Yao Fenghua was also taken aback, and then a panic flashed uncontrollably on her face, she didn't expect that he would suddenly expose her details here, but thinking of what the man said to her before she came, she immediately ordered herself Calm down.
"Brother Mu, I don't know what you are talking about, what kind of calculation, what premeditation, and how can you say that about me, I gave you my innocence!" Yao Fenghua's eyes gleamed viciously, anyway Mu Jinhua was groundless, what evidence did he have to prove that he never touched her?But now she has a son who looks very similar to him!
When someone found her that day and asked her to bring her so-called son to the capital to find Mu Jinhua, she still thought it was very ridiculous. She had nothing to do with Mu Jinhua at all. Where did the son come from?What's more, what's the reason why she ran all the way to the capital to find him? Back then, her deception was exposed and she was almost going to jail. His sister is not easy to mess with, so she wouldn't be so stupid as to run into her and kill herself Woolen cloth.
But later that person told himself that Mu Jinhua was actually the nephew of the current prime minister, and that Mu Jinxi also married into Prince Mu's mansion and became the little princess!Mu Jinhua herself has also achieved fame, and she is just short of the final palace examination. If she is lucky in the palace examination, she may be the number one in the examination. Does she really not want to climb to the top?If she did what he said, he might guarantee that he would enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of his life, which would be better than being poor in Peach Blossom Town, right?
She was still hesitant at first, but when that person told her the plan, she was moved. She felt that she should take a risk. Anyway, the person said that even if she didn't succeed in the end, she would save her life. What else is there to worry about?If she succeeds, she won't have to worry about it for the rest of her life, and she might still be an official wife.It doesn't matter if she doesn't succeed, she can use this matter to threaten that person and ask him to give her a sum of money. When she returns to Peach Blossom Town, she can still eat and drink spicy food, so why not do it?
It's been a while since she came to the capital, and that person kept asking her to wait for the most suitable time until the Duke of Mo's mansion wanted to hold a birthday banquet for Mrs. Mo, so he secretly notified her and asked her to end at the birthday banquet When the wives and masters of the various mansions left, they rushed out and said those words in front of everyone, leaving Mu Jinhua speechless and unable to quibble!She wasn't worried that they would send someone to Taohua Town or even Xiushui Village to investigate, because that person had already arranged everything, and they couldn't find anything!
Hahaha, so she's not worried at all, it's just that she has a guilty conscience, but it doesn't matter, they don't have evidence, so they can only let her do whatever she says, even if it doesn't work in the end, it will at least ruin Mu Jinhua's reputation Ah isn't it?Then she also earned it. Who told Mu Jinhua to treat her like that back then? It was his luck that she liked him, but he dared to despise himself. Hmph, this is the consequence of despising her!
Don't let her feel bad about him!
Mu Jinhua was trembling with her outstretched fingers because of her shamelessness, she couldn't believe that there would be such a shameless and shameless person in this world, how could she have the face to say such a thing?clean?She didn't know when her innocence was thrown on which man, but she actually told him that she was innocent? !
"You, you, this bitch! I really regret letting you go. I shouldn't have persuaded her to let you go when Xiaoxi exposed you. I should have let her send you to the government. The government The dungeon is the most suitable place for you to stay! This time, this time I will not let you go, you just wait until the end, justice will return my innocence!" Mu Jinhua walked away furiously He went to the side and sat down, never looking at Yao Fenghua again.
He felt that looking at her again would stain his eyes!
Yao Fenghua was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to hear such a truth.It turned out that it was because Mu Jinxi dismantled herself but didn't send herself to the government because he begged for it?Haha, but so what?Who wants him to pretend to be kind?If he had really been so kind, he would not have told Mu Jinxi about their affairs, and Mu Jinxi would have no chance to expose herself. Now she is probably the wife of the number one scholar, so why would she do such a thing?
Mr. Cao couldn't help frowning when he heard the conversation between the two, and he was even more sure that this matter was a conspiracy, but what happened to this child?Judging from Mu Jinhua's appearance, it didn't seem like she was lying, on the contrary, the guilty conscience flashed across the face of this woman from time to time, and the panic had already betrayed her.
"Lord Cao, since all the people who should come have come, can I start the interrogation?" The second prince asked lazily.
"Naturally, of course we can start."
"Lord Cao, this prince has never tried to interrogate a prisoner, why don't you leave it to me this time?" The second prince asked with squinted eyes.
Master Cao's mouth twitched slightly.
"Second brother, don't mess around! This matter is very important, and it concerns the innocence of Mu Zhuangyuan, how can you let me play?" The eldest prince said with a frown.
The second prince said foolishly: "Brother, it is because the matter is so important that the second brother came. I am the prince, the second brother. If this woman dares to tell lies to the prince, the prince will kill her a thousand times." Cut to death! But if it were Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao would not have the guts. My identity can deter criminals!"
As the second prince spoke, his gloomy gaze still swept across Yao Fenghua's body as if there was nothing. She was so frightened that her legs softened, and she knelt down on the ground with a plop, and the children beside her also knelt down in a panic. Poor My child is still young, and he doesn't know what happened, so he doesn't understand.
"Lord Cao, why don't you say anything? Are you looking down on me?" The second prince's expression darkened, and he became unhappy.
"No, no, no, if I don't have it, then the second prince will interrogate me, I'll listen, I'll listen." Mr. Cao was also happy to throw this hot potato out, but he just hoped that the second prince wouldn't be here at this time because of He Jue. Because of the personal grievances between Prince Lin and doing something on purpose, this is fatal!
"Second prince, please handle it impartially." Master Cao said boldly after thinking about it.
The second prince cast a sidelong glance at Mr. Cao and sneered, which made Mr. Cao's mouth twitch slightly again.
The first prince frowned, originally he wanted to stop it, but he didn't know what he thought of, and in the end he didn't say anything. The second prince swaggered up to the courtroom and sat in Mr. Cao's seat.
"Well, who is that kneeling person?" The second prince asked, slapping the gavel.
Yao Fenghua's heart trembled, he swallowed, tried hard to calm down, and stammered, "I, I—"
"Bold! How dare you call yourself me in front of this prince? Come on, hit ten boards first, let her learn a lesson!" The second prince was furious, and ordered people to start the fight without saying a word.
"Second prince, this, is this wrong?" Mr. Cao was startled, the wound on Yao Fenghua's body kicked by the young prince Juelin has not completely healed, what if someone is beaten to death?
The people in the courtroom were also shocked, confused by the second prince's irrational move.
"What's wrong? What is her identity? Even if what she said is true, even if she is Mu Jinhua's wife, she is not qualified to call herself me in front of this prince. Besides, she is nothing now! She Is this despising the majesty of the prince? To despise the majesty of the prince is to despise the majesty of the Chu royal family. The prince just wants to hit her ten times, which is already very light! What else do you want?" The second prince said angrily As he said that, he slapped the gavel in his hand again.
Mr. Cao felt his heart skip a beat, and he was a little speechless, because what the second prince said seemed to make sense.
"Didn't you hear my prince's words? Hit ten boards!" The second prince said, looked around, took out a red lottery from the lottery and threw it down, making Mr. Cao open his mouth to say something, but It was obviously too late.
The people below have moved to Xingdeng quickly, and pushed Yao Fenghua who hadn't reacted to it. One of them raised the board and hit Yao Fenghua's buttocks. Yao Fenghua opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, he became There was a scream.
"Ah! My lord, spare my life, my lord! I——no, no, no, the woman knows I'm wrong!"
There was a silence in the courtroom, except for the slapping sound of the board hitting Yao Fenghua's body, there was no sound. Everyone was left speechless by this scene.
Even before the interrogation started, the second prince beat him up, what if he was beaten to death?Wouldn't Mu Jinhua's charges be borne for the rest of her life?Well, the second prince really did not get along with the young prince Juelin, so now he took his anger on the little princess's family, because Mu Jinhua was the eldest brother-in-law of the young prince Julin!
Hey, but didn't the second prince say that he has a good relationship with the little princess?Is it fake?Everyone remembered that there seemed to be a period of time last year when the second prince was often seen chasing the little princess.
The children around Yao Fenghua didn't know if they were frightened, and they fell to the ground, watching Yao Fenghua being beaten, they didn't cry or shout, and looked a little dazed.Mu Jinxi noticed the abnormality of this child.
She had suspected that this child was not Yao Fenghua's, but now she is even more certain. If he is really Yao Fenghua's child, and seeing his mother being beaten, the child's first reaction should be to cry in fear, not like Now he is staring blankly at the beaten Yao Fenghua.
The more she looked at that child, the more she felt that something was wrong. That child looked like those who had been hypnotized in the previous life, listless. Could it be that the person who instructed Yao Fenghua did something to this child?
Mu Jinxi told Jue Lin about her doubts, and Jue Lin stared at the child and nodded in agreement, then called Master Cao, and told him about her doubts, Master Cao frowned, passing by him Having said that, it's really strange to look at this child again.Mr. Cao hurriedly ordered someone to secretly invite the best doctor in the capital to come, and if he needs it later, he will show the child to see if there is really a problem.If there is really something wrong with this child, then this matter is even more suspicious.
No matter how Yao Fenghua wailed and screamed, the people in the hall were unmoved. The people watching were a little pitiful and sympathetic to her, but they didn't dare to say anything. The second prince ordered the beating, in case the second prince got angry What if they even blamed it?
That's why Yao Fenghua didn't stop until she hit all ten boards, no more, no less.
"Not dead, are you?" The second prince asked with raised eyebrows.
"Back to the second prince, he is not dead, but he has not recovered yet."
"Oh, it's good that you haven't died yet. If you die, you will be in trouble. The prince hasn't started the interrogation yet." The second prince said with curled lips.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched again when they heard this. You also know that you haven't started the interrogation. Now that you know, why did you beat someone in the first place?Isn't this a suspicion of torture to extract a confession?
"Mr. Yao, please repeat what you said that day. How did you and Mu Jinhua meet each other? The details have been clarified by the prince, otherwise, ten boards will not be able to settle the matter!" The second prince slapped the gavel forcefully again.
Yao Fenghua's face was already pale at this time, and she felt sorry for her as a woman. Although her past life was not pampered and well-clothed, she didn't suffer much, let alone like today. She felt that she was about to die. After being kicked by Mu Jinxi's husband, her injuries are still not healed, and now she has been beaten ten more times, can she still survive?
Yao Fenghua suddenly felt regretful, this is completely different from what that person said, even if the incident broke out, these people would not do anything to her, now not only did they do it, but they also wanted her life!If she is dead, what's the point of all she did?She wanted to take revenge on Mu Jinhua, but she never thought of paying the price with her own life!Rather than taking revenge on Mu Jinhua, she wants to live a good life!
But now it's not her turn to regret it, the only way to save herself is to put the blame on Mu Jinhua.
Enduring the severe pain in his body, Yao Fenghua repeated the matter intermittently. Who knew that just after finishing speaking, the second prince slammed the gavel again, which made Yao Fenghua tremble in fright. Where did he say something wrong, which made the second prince angry.
"You dare to fool this prince. Do you think that you have played too few sticks? That's unreasonable. If that's the case, then hit ten more sticks!" The second prince said angrily. If you get a lottery, you will throw it away if you don't even look at it.
"Second prince! Don't do it!" Mr. Cao hurriedly rushed up to stop him, if he hit someone again, he would probably die!If you die, what trial will you have?
Did the second prince come to make trouble?
