Chapter 499: Severe Punishment and No Loans
Wuwang Mansion.
When the news of Gu Xiping being sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment came, King Wu was so angry that he almost fell down.
That idiot!
Leaving her at home, she actually ran out.
It's such a big disaster!
Now that it's okay, the whole capital knows that she framed the crown princess and had her hands cut off.
Not only that, but she also dragged a bunch of noble girls into the water, and now, it is estimated that the civil and military officials in the entire capital hate her and the Gu family to death.
Although he also hated those who instigated Xiping to find trouble in Yueli City, he couldn't offend everyone.
"Father, you must save Xiping. She is a girl, how can she go to a place like prison!" Mrs. Gu cried breathlessly.
On the side, Gu Hanwen's father and son stood in place with frowns, things have developed so far, they have no master, and they don't know what to do at all.
"Help?!How can I save it?!She admitted in public that she framed the crown princess, so how can I save her!"
Gu Zongyue roared angrily.
"Let you take care of her, watch her, why did you let her run out. Now that you're in prison, you're happy?!"
Mrs. Gu covered her face and cried.
……
However, although he said that he didn't care, after all, he was his only granddaughter, and King Wu still decided to enter the palace to intercede.
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of Xiping, she is still young and ignorant, spare her this time. King Wu knelt on the ground and prayed.
"Hmph! Gu Xiping framed the crown princess first, and bullied the monarch later, how can you let me spare her? If you spare her, no one will dare to frame the royal family members in the future, and the king will be bullied. Jun Baize's face sank like water, and he said coldly.
“……”
Hearing this, Gu Zongyue broke out in a cold sweat.
framed the royal family and deceived the king, he can't afford this crime.
"Also, you Gu Mansion, whether you know about all these behaviors of Gu Xiping or not, I also have to find out clearly, and when the time comes, if you find out anything, don't blame me for not being emotional. Jun Baize said coldly.
Regarding the Gu family's decision to continue to conceal and seek justice from Yuecheng after knowing that Gu Xiping had framed Yuecheng, Jun Baize already knew, so now that he saw Gu Zongyue, he became more and more angry, and naturally he didn't talk about it at all.
Hearing this, Gu Zongyue's back was cold.
It suddenly occurred to him that his stupid granddaughter had been tricked and might say anything in prison.
At that time, if His Majesty knew about those things, the Gu family would be unlucky.
Where did he know, Jun Baize already knew.
"Your Majesty, the old minister pleaded guilty. Lao Chen and his family didn't know Xiping's thoughts in advance, and Lao Chen only learned about it later, so he was very angry at that time and grounded Xiping. It's just that the old minister is afraid of His Majesty's punishment in his heart, so he has never dared to admit his mistake. The old minister is wrong, please forgive the old minister. ”
Gu Zongyue felt that instead of letting the emperor find out and then be furious and condemn the Gu family, it was better to take the initiative to confess, and maybe he could be punished lightly.
"Hmph, it's good, your Gu family is really good......" Jun Baize said angrily.
At this moment, the cautious voice of the chief eunuch came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, King Hui asks to see you." ”
Jun Bai Ze's eyes flashed, and he immediately guessed what King Hui was doing.
"Let him in. Jun Baize said coldly.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and King Hui bowed in.
As soon as he entered, he knelt down with a thud, "The guilty minister knocks to your majesty." ”
"Say, what are you looking for me?" Jun Baize said coldly.
"Your Majesty, the old minister heard that the old minister's granddaughter Ruoying was arrested and put in the prison of the Criminal Department, so I came to ask Your Majesty for a favor, and begged Your Majesty to let the minister take Ruoying back to the house first, if she has anything wrong, the old minister will definitely punish her. Please spare her for her first offense's sake. King Hui pleaded.
"Impossible! I didn't punish the intention of framing the royal family, and I didn't punish such a big mistake, how can I obey the public in the future?!"
Jun Baize said coldly.
"Okay, you both go back and think about it behind closed doors. When everything comes to fruition, I will naturally settle accounts with you!
King Wu and King Hui glanced at each other, and then slowly retreated.
Outside the Imperial Study.
King Wu and King Hui glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of dissatisfaction with each other.
"Old man Gu, your granddaughter is really capable, and she suddenly caused half of the top noblewoman in the capital to enter. King Hui said coldly.
"Each other, your granddaughter is not bad, I didn't challenge the princess, but I instigated my granddaughter to go, causing Xiping's stupid girl to ruin her hands. King Wu also glared and choked back angrily.
"Hmph, she is going to challenge the crown princess herself, what is the matter with Guan Ruoying?!" King Hui said coldly.
"She herself framed the future crown princess and went into the prison cell, what does it matter to us?!" King Wu choked back again without backing down.
"You...... You...... Old man Gu, wait and see!" King Hui turned blue with anger, then flicked his sleeves and strode away.
King Wu also snorted coldly and strode away.
……
Meanwhile.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department was instructed by Jun Baize to strictly interrogate those noble girls.
Therefore, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department did not dare to slack off, and regardless of the identities of those noble girls, they treated them equally and interrogated them strictly one by one.
Gu Xiping really said everything as expected by King Wu.
And the other nobles also constantly attacked each other in order to protect themselves, and all the disrespectful words they had said were summoned.
These people are a sentence of you, and I almost restore the scene at that time.
Although Dongfang Ruoying wanted to deny it, almost everyone confessed, and the words she said were naturally bitten out, so she could only grit her teeth and admit it.
……
Night, Royal Palace.
The side hall of the imperial study.
Jun Baize, Xiahou Ying, and Jun Mohan sat on the chair and looked at the criminal department Shangshu who was standing bowed below.
The criminal department Shangshu sweated on his forehead and reported the results of the interrogation to the three in detail.
It's really those noble ladies who are too open-mouthed, what ugly, what waste, what a cruel lesson......
In short, Your Majesty, Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be angry when they hear it.
Sure enough, the more Jun Baize and the others listened, the more their faces sank, and Jun Mohan's body erupted with a chilling murderous aura.
“…… Your Majesty, this is probably the case, this is their confession, please take a look at it. The secretary of the criminal department bowed down and handed over a stack of files.
The chief eunuch stepped forward, took it from the hand of the criminal department Shangshu, and then hurriedly walked to Jun Baize and handed it out.
Jun Baize took it and flipped it over, his face becoming more and more gloomy.
The words in the scroll are even more excessive.
"Okay, you can leave first, as for those noble ladies who commit crimes, they will be punished as much as they want, and they will not be forgiven. Jun Baize said coldly.
