Chapter 354: Tongue War, Lord Shang
Bai Mu Hibiscus waited for his words, so he nodded slightly, and then asked Min, "Do you recognize this palace?"
Bai Mu Hibiscus knew that of course she recognized it, otherwise Xiangguo Temple would not have found her today, and Min nodded without surprise.
Bai Ki Hibiscus then asked, "Where did you meet Hongu, and where did we first meet?"
"I ...... I have always been a close confidant of the county lord, and I secretly serve the county lord, so the county lord will send me to assassinate the queen mother!" Min stammered a little.
Bai Mujin smiled for a moment before asking, "So, you are a confidant of this palace?"
Min Shi nodded and said: "This is natural, otherwise the county lord would not have sent me to assassinate the queen mother, you just fancy my martial arts and cleverness, so you will finally choose me to assassinate the queen mother!"
Min Shi was right, and it sounded pertinent, and Bai Mujin then asked, "Since you are a confidant, do you have evidence to prove it?"
"The county lord didn't give me anything to prove my identity for fear of being revealed!" replied Min unhurriedly.
Bai Mu Hibiscus sneered and said, "Since you can't prove that you are from this palace, how can you say that this palace instructed you, who wouldn't say it?"
"I ...... Why do I need to slander the county lord for no reason, I will only identify the county lord if I am tortured, don't be jealous of me because of this, everyone is a master and servant!"
Bai Mujin narrowed his eyes slightly: "I don't have you as a slave in my Ninghou Mansion, all the slaves are in the mansion, whether they are from the palace or someone else's, but they all have records in the mansion!"
Shang Kejing finally spoke, and said with a sarcastic smile: "County Lord, there is no need to say this kind of thing, there are some minions, even the government can't find an archive, who doesn't have such a few people?"
Bai Mu Hibiscus looked at Shang Kejing in surprise and asked rhetorically: "Is that so? So there are also servants in Lord Shang's family who have not gone to the government office for the record? How does this palace remember that the Tianyuan Law is ordered to prohibit this kind of private slave behavior? It seems that if there are too many of them, they can be sentenced to the crime of private soldiers and intent to rebel, right?"
Shang Kejing's face stiffened, and he quickly denied it: "This official doesn't have private slaves, they are all over the Ming Road, don't spray people with blood!"
"Since the adults don't have it, the palace naturally doesn't either, although the palace is a boudoir woman, but she is also a law-abiding person, besides, the lord of the palace, why do you need to do anything illegal and undisciplined? What are the benefits of assassinating the queen mother to the palace?" asked Bai Mu Hibiscus confidently.
Shang Kejing said, "That's ...... Maybe you are dissatisfied with the Queen Mother and hold a grudge!"
"Lord Shang, don't spray people with blood! The position of the county lord of this palace was canonized only with the consent of the queen mother, and it is too late for the palace to be grateful to the queen mother, so why do you have a grudge?" Bai Mujian said coldly.
Shang Kejing said again: "But it was indeed the county lord who was the most suspicious that day, according to the official's inquiry, you had left alone, and your whereabouts were unknown, how could the county lord explain during this time?"
Bai Mu Hibiscus lowered his head slightly, and then said: "I believe that adults must also know that this palace is burned by hot tea, but it is just to go to a secluded place to change the medicine, do you want to tell the world that it will not work?"
Shang Kejing pointed at the Min family again and said: "Then why did she insist that it was the county lord who instructed her, so many princesses and county lords were present, and there were so many monks in Xiangguo Temple, just say that the county lord is the mastermind behind the scenes, and the county lord can't just say that it has nothing to do with you, right?"
Bai Mujin glanced at the Min family, and then said: "This palace really doesn't know this person, but adults should also know that this palace has been named the county lord, because of what, offended a lot of people, who knows who is behind the frame!
Of course, this was said to Shang Kejing, Shang Kejing's face really became ugly, and Bai Mujian was alluding to the fact that the real mastermind behind the scenes was the king of Chujun.
Although Shang Kejing was annoyed, he didn't show it, but said: "The county lord is saying that the enemy family deliberately framed the county lord?
Bai Mujian blinked innocently and said, "There has never been an enemy in this palace, Lord Shang should not use words indiscriminately, such a kind person in this palace, where did the enemy come from?"
Shang Kejing almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood, but can it be called good for the incident caused by the county lord of Anping? Fortunately, he was relatively calm, calmed down for a while, and then said: "It was the county lord who said that he had offended a lot of people and made too many enemies!"
"Isn't it common to offend people? Who can say that he is good friends with everyone? Lord Shang should have offended people when he sat in the position of Dali Temple, could they all be enemies?" asked Bai Mu Hibiscus with a smile.
Shang Kejing was very annoyed, this girl was sharp and sharp, it was beyond his expectations, no wonder the king of Chu County told him that the county lord of Anping was a smart and tricky girl, very tricky!
Shang Kejing didn't answer her directly, but said, "Who is the county lord referring to?"
"This palace is not clear, this matter should be investigated by Lord Shang, after all, this palace has no motive to assassinate the queen mother, this palace has respect and gratitude for the queen mother, but there is no hatred, there is no hatred, why assassinate?" Bai Mu Hibiscus raised his eyebrows, looking like you are me!
Shang Kejing's expression froze, and he frowned: "But the assassin testifies against you, the county lord should always think of a way to prove his innocence, right?"
Bai Mujin smiled at Shang Kejing, nodded, and said: "This is Lord Lao Shang, since there is a way for her to speak, naturally there is a way for her to tell the truth, instead of indiscriminately involving this innocent person in the palace, the plaque on the head of Lord Shang is fair and selfless, it shouldn't be an ornament, right?
Shang Kejing couldn't figure out how the person who was clearly identified as the culprit suddenly became innocent, and how could he ask him to avenge her......? What's going on?
Shang Kejing's mind was a little confused for a while, and he said, "County Lord...... It doesn't seem to be like this, right? You say innocent is innocent?"
Bai Mujian still had an innocent smile and said, "My lord, then who do you say that this palace is innocent, and this palace is innocent?"
"Naturally...... Naturally...... Find out the truth, if it has nothing to do with the county lord, then the county lord is innocent!" Shang Kejing replied.
Bai Mujin nodded, looking very approving, and said: "Then to find out the truth, it should be an adult's business, right? It doesn't make sense that I, a person who should be innocent, should help adults find out the truth, this is inevitably suspected of overstepping the bounds, and this palace can't do such a thing!"
Shang Kejing finally found out, this girl is tricky, no matter what, she has a point. And it looks like it's none of your business, and you still don't look like you're okay with her.
Shang Kejing thought for a while before saying: "But now there is a witness, if the county lord can't prove that she lied, naturally the county lord is the most suspicious, and for the suspect, the official still has to be imprisoned according to law, when necessary...... And use the punishment!"
Bai Mu Hibiscus frowned slightly, and said: "As long as someone corrects it, it means that this palace is suspicious, and it will be punished, right?"
Shang Kejing nodded and said, "Naturally, this is a procedural issue for handling the case, not for the county lord alone!"
Bai Mujin suddenly laughed and said: "Then the palace points out that the adult is the mastermind behind the scenes, should the adult also be tortured? ”
Shang Kejing's face turned red, and he shouted angrily: "You don't want to spew blood, and you don't want to be untrustworthy! Why did this official ask her to testify against you, this ...... Nonsense!"
"How is it impossible? As we all know, the lord and the king of Chu are friends with each other, and the palace and the king of Chu have a very unpleasant quarrel, but the lord has a motive to harm the palace! As for this woman, who is the mastermind behind her, the palace does not know, but it is certainly not the palace!" Bai Mu Hibiscus said calmly.
Shang Kejing was so angry that he was almost speechless, and he took a few breaths before he said: "You are simply nonsense, this official has always been fair and selfless in handling cases, and will never affect official affairs because of personal feelings, and besides, the king of Chu County is also a fair and upright person, how can there be such a villainous behavior?"
Bai Mu Hibiscus said: "People are not sages, nor are they plants, and it is understandable to have selfishness occasionally. The Queen Mother handed over the prisoner to you, naturally hoping that you would find out the truth as soon as possible, under your torture, this woman still doesn't tell the truth, you have to think of a simple and safe way, that is, to find a scapegoat, this palace was chosen by you, who let the people who go to Xiangguo Temple today, only this palace is not royal blood!"
Shang Kejing was furious, this Anping County Lord's ability to reverse right and wrong was even better than him. He, a presiding judge, turned out to be the identified murderer, what is this called?
Bai Mujian continued: "You want to slander the palace, the palace can understand, but it can't be forgiven! Although the palace is not of royal blood, it is also a legitimate county lord, not what you want, this matter also ask the lord to show the queen mother and the saint first, only the queen mother and the saint sent people to convince the palace, and will never be biased to try this case, the palace is willing to explain the evidence in the palace's possession!"
Shang Kejing clenched his fists, crunched, and said, "You...... This official is the secretary of Dali Temple, and it is a matter of course to hear the royal case, and he is in charge of this case by the order of the Queen Mother, so does the county lord dare to disobey the Queen Mother?"
Bai Mu Hibiscus also had a cold face, and said: "You tried this case overnight, and you dared to ask for the palace to be imprisoned without any evidence, this woman's words are full of loopholes, and you are also correct in believing it, and you are ready to punish the palace, you are deceiving people too much! You dare to say that you are not partial, it is a big joke, this palace will definitely meet the saint, play you a copy!"
Shang Kejing was also anxious, so he got up from his chair and pointed at Bai Mujian and said, "If you dare to accuse this official indiscriminately and make a big fuss in court, this official will beat you to kill you twenty times now!"
Bai Mujin straightened his waist and said, "My lord is really majestic enough, you can beat this palace, but this palace guarantees that you will pay it back a hundred times!"
