407. Start taking sides

"Back to the king, according to the confession of those so-called bandits, they were sent by Prime Minister Zhuang, and their purpose was to kill people and destroy their mouths! As he spoke, he bowed down and presented the fold.

Tasting Qiang's eyes signaled, Shao Yin took it and respectfully handed it to Tasting Qiang.

Ji Longyan then stood aside, and Zhuang Hongyu shouted excitedly at this time: "Your Majesty, this is fake! Yongzhou Assassin Shi framed Weichen! This is not true!"

Tasting Qiang at a glance and ten lines, I saw that it was written that Zhuang Hongyu asked him for tens of thousands of taels of carriage and horses, and there were countless beauties, which specially showed that Zhuang Hongyu also forced one of his daughters. His daughter was insulted and committed suicide by hanging herself.

He angrily threw the fold to the ground and scolded: "Zhuang Hongyu, you are so bold that you dare to do such a corrupt and perverted law and lose your conscience

That girl is only ten years old! You can do it! Now you are still killing people, where do you leave this king?"

Zhuang Hongyu hurriedly went to pick up the fold on the ground, and when he saw several of his own charges written on it, he shouted angrily: "Wang Mingjian! Wechen has never done these things! This assassin has indeed seen Wechen, Wechen has lived in his house for six days, and he said that he would let his youngest daughter bring Wechen to the capital to see it, and Wechen agreed to him. But Wechen never did anything to that girl, let alone take any money! The slave beside me can testify when Wechen says this!"

Ji Longyan sneered and shouted, "Don't pretend, Zhuang Xiang, your slave has been killed by the people you sent just now, and my people are just a corpse when they arrive." Zhuang Xiang has calculated a lot, and he will definitely not calculate that in order to stabilize you, the Yongzhou assassin sent someone to the capital to expose your incriminating evidence on the night when you asked him for money and goods. However, the Yongzhou assassin was afraid that you would kill him in a fit of rage, so he turned the house upside down and scraped together enough of the general money you wanted, and you were too little, so you forced the little girl, yes or no?"

"No, this is a frame-up, this is a frame-up!" Zhuang Hongyu still shouted.

"You can't admit it, by the way, in addition to that girl, there is also the beautiful concubine who has been defiled by you, she endured the humiliation and caters to you, so that she can save her life, and now she is waiting outside the palace, Zhuang Xiang wants to see her?"

"Long Yan, don't spew blood!" Zhuang Hongyu immediately retorted.

"Your Majesty, the Li family is outside the palace, and the king will know the truth as soon as he asks. "The dragon said.

"Pass her in!" said Taste Qiang, looking at Zhuang Hongyu with fierce eyes.

"Spread the Li family into the hall!" Shao Yin shouted in a strange manner.

The Li family is the concubine of the Yongzhou Thorn History.

Li approached the hall tremblingly, and knelt on the ground with trembling feet, not daring to look up.

Taste Qiang said majestically: "You are the concubine of Yongzhou Thorn History?"

"is. Lee replied.

"This king asks you, 'Do you know this man beside you?' ”

Li Shi slowly raised his head, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's him, it's the slave he forced at the beginning!" After that, he whimpered and cried.

"Slut, don't you want to frame this official! How many benefits others have given you! This official has never seen you!" Zhuang Hong scolded him.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid have a jade pendant as proof, which he threw to the slave and maid after he had been happy with the slave and maid that day. As he spoke, Li took out a crystal clear pear-shaped jade pendant from her arms.

Zhuang Hongyu was frightened and touched the jade pendant on his waist, and sure enough, it was gone.

He muttered in his heart, when did she steal it? No, he hadn't seen her at all, so who stole this jade pendant and handed it to her?

This pear-shaped jade pendant, he has worn it a few times in the court, Lou Shangshu also praised the excellent color of this jade pendant, that was a few months ago, others asked him to appreciate, he took it off and handed it to them, this jade pendant is said to be ten people have seen it.

But he hadn't worn it for a long time, how could it have fallen into the hands of this woman? Could it be that there was a traitor in the Zhuang Mansion?

He thought about it carefully, it turned out that this game had been laid out a few months ago, but Yongzhou Thorn Shi was obviously his own person, why did he bite back?

When the officials in the court saw the jade pendant in Li's hand, they whispered one after another, and someone shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the jade pendant in the hand of this woman Weichen did see Zhuang Xiang wear it a few months ago, and Lou Shangshu praised this jade pendant in good condition that day, it is a treasure, we have borrowed it to see, and we will not admit it!"

When he shouted, several of them echoed: "It is indeed worn by Zhuang Xiang." ”

Zhuang Hongyu was indistinguishable, and kowtowed heavily on the ground: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged! Weichen has never done these things!"

Li suddenly cried and laughed, hummed and sang a few words, and said: "The slave family has no shame to live!

Yu Qiang angrily scolded: "Zhuang Hong, look at you, someone has been forced to die by you!

Ji Longyan sighed deeply and said: "Your Majesty, this Li family is forced to do so, and now she is determined to die, and she is also considered a martyr, and I ask the king not to hold her accountable." ”

According to the excerpt of the Yongzhou Thorn History, this Li and Zhuang Hongpardon are in a group, and there is even a suspicion of seducing Zhuang Hongpardon, Zhuang Hongpardon is very likely to get this Li family, so he asked this Thorn Shi for the carriage and horse fare, if it is not together, it is a dead end.

"Come on, drag it down, and order someone to transport it back to Yongzhou and bury it well. Taste Qiang sighed and said.

Then he said, "Someone comes, Zhuang Hong pardons the corrupt and perverts the law, hires people to kill the officials of the imperial court, defiles women and children, does not repent, and refuses to admit his guilt! From now on, he will be put in prison and tortured!

The other people surnamed Zhuang in the court never spoke, but kept wiping the cold sweat on their foreheads.

Ji Longyan said: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't bet on it." ”

Zhuang Hongyu shouted: "You must be you, you wronged me! How can someone in my village ever offend you, and you want to frame me like this?"

As soon as he shouted, the eyes of everyone in the court fell on Long Yan's body.

Ji Longyan laughed and said: "Zhuang Xiang is really good acting, and he didn't forget to pull me as a cushion when he was dying." The evidence is conclusive, and you dare to question the king's decision?"

"Don't drag him down yet! interrogate him well!" said Qiang, disdainfully.

His voice seemed to condemn Zhuang Hong's death penalty.

The people who came in from outside the hall immediately stepped forward to drag Zhuang Hongyu, but Zhuang Hongpardon did not comply, avoided the clamping of those people, and shouted in all directions: "Your Majesty, Weichen is wronged!

"Your Majesty, if Zhuang Xiang dares to disobey the holy decree and not follow the king's judgment, it is better to hand it over to Weichen, I believe he will confess soon!" Zhuang Hongbo took a step forward and said.
