Sitting on the side, King Xin'anjun sighed slightly in his heart.

Send someone to search and collect evidence? has been waiting for a long time for more than half a year, how could the saint give Li Qianniang time to cover up the evidence or ask for help? Presumably, when Xu Khotan filed a complaint yesterday, he had already sent Jin Wuwei to check the entire Xu family. Li Qianniang's yard turned upside down. As for the evidence of witch Gu, if there is really one, it is Li Qianniang's own doing; Even if there was no one before, the Xu family dared to sue, and she would definitely be allowed to have it. From the beginning to the end, there is no need for the saint to think about it.

The king of Xin'an County is actually more inclined to believe that Li Qianniang took matters into her own hands without knowing what the crime of witch Gu was. After all, how could someone as twisted as she be content with just cursing and slandering in her mouth? In order to change her current situation of no one to rely on, she can even get back together with Princess Anxing, and even corrupt morality with Li Ge, what else can't she do?

Because of the extremely similar reactions of each other, Li Hui, who was sitting between his grandfather and his cousins, naturally won their trust and recognition. Li Wei and Li Jing both watched with complicated expressions as the palace people took the sworn Xu Tian out, and whispered: "He actually has the courage to make such a complaint, it shouldn't be fake...... This Li Qianniang...... Alas...... Our family can still raise such a person......"

And His Royal Highness King Pu was shocked, and suddenly felt extremely relieved: "That kind of rebellious words, she said it in front of Yue Niang and San Lang last year!" I can't imagine that I dare to do it even more in private! Such unfilial people should be punished according to the law! Not to mention that she is also involved in witchcraft and intends to rebel! "Unfilial piety is a major crime, listed as one of the "ten evils", and in the case of the Tang Dynasty, it should be punished with death. What's more, she offended the first emperor and the queen successively, and the crime of great disrespect.

Princess Qinghe, who was full of melancholy, also frowned: "Brother Huang, my sister-in-law has been recuperating in bed, but she has not improved for a long time, could it be because of her witch Gu?" On the day of Grandpa's death, my sister-in-law reprimanded Li Qianniang for calling her wrong, and I noticed that she looked strange at that time. This matter must be carefully investigated, and the relevant things that are disgusted with witches must be destroyed immediately, and then quickly become a dojo to pray for the blessing of the sister-in-law and drive away the evil spirit. ”

What she said was reasonable, and the sage's expression changed slightly, and for a while, she didn't care that it was King Jing who was trying the case, and immediately said coldly: "Bring Li Qianniang and the maidservants who serve her!" ”

King Jing had already been subdued by the private words of the two monarchs and ministers, so he naturally didn't care about these details. Li Hui keenly noticed that Princess Anxing glanced over with a smile, as if she was thoughtful. It seems that she is more calm than Princess Linchuan and Princess Qinghe, and seems to be sure that Li Qianniang's case has nothing to do with her. No matter how much Li Qianniang quibbles, she can't be involved in her - perhaps, this case is really not hurtful for her.

At this time, Li Qianniang, who was still dressed brightly, came to the hall with tears in her eyes, and after looking around timidly, she saluted the elders, and then hid her face and cried: "Uncle and grandfather, my son was wronged by the Xu family!" If the child lives so peacefully and receives a lot of love from the elders, how can he do anything rebellious? However, the Xu family has always figured out Guò'er to seek an official and a half-position, but they insisted on not allowing it, and they hated it. On weekdays, I have always been disrespectful to my son and didn't mention it, and I even frantically falsely accused my son......"

Before she could finish speaking, she fell to the ground and began to weep.

"The Xu family is so rebellious, why didn't you mention it to us earlier?" King Jing's attitude was both majestic and cold, "With Zongzheng Temple here, they still dare to bully our clan girls?!" Someone came, called the personal servants and servants of the county lord of Yichuan, and asked them to tell them how the Xu family bullied her and what they did that was not tolerated!! ”

Li Qianniang cried for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Many servants usually ignore their children, and what they say must be untrue. Uncle and grandfather only ask their personal servants to be named Ah Ming and Ah Yue, they must know everything! Then she fell on the ground again and wept bitterly.

So, the palace people brought two fair-skinned but somewhat short maids. After the two announced their names, they both said that they had served with the county lord of Yichuan since they were children, and they were both from Qianzhou. Originally, they were not personal servants, and they only did some sprinkling and sweeping, but last year, when the abolished prince returned to Beijing, he was assassinated, and the two henchmen and maidservants were shot, and they were able to be promoted to the intimate people of the county lord of Yichuan.

King Jing asked: "The county lord of Yichuan just said that the Xu family is extremely disrespectful to her, and we are very indignant when we hear it. Let's talk about it, how did the Xu family bully her? Not only him, but also the saint and the royal family sitting next to him all looked at the two maidservants coldly, waiting for what lies they could tell. No matter how much they quibble at this time, when the evidence of witchcraft is presented, it will be indistinguishable.

The two maids have already been detained separately, and their treatment is naturally far inferior to Li Qianniang. The two of them were already trembling with fright, their faces were pale, and it was very likely that they couldn't even speak clearly. However, after Li Hui took a closer look, he found that they looked at each other privately without a trace, and it seemed that they had already made their own decisions.

I saw one of them kowtow heavily, trembling his lips and saying, "The Xu family treats the county lord very well...... The daily use of the county lord is the best......"

"Slut! How dare you slander me?! It's just a pig and a dog!! Li Qianniang raised her head suddenly, her face changed greatly, and she interrupted her through gritted teeth, as if she was about to jump up in the next moment-however, the palace people standing next to her reacted very quickly, and quickly and accurately gave her a cup of "calming" medicinal soup: "Don't be rude in front of the emperor, and the county lord should be quiet." ”

Li Qianniang was still babbling and wanting to intercede and scold, but then she could only slump on the ground, her eyes wide, revealing a terrifying distorted color, and she stared at the two maids. Her face changed like a street shrew, which opened the eyes of the clans present and frowned. Even Li Wei and Li Jing, who still had some sympathy and hesitation in their hearts, also showed disgust.

The interrupted maid continued: "The county lord has always disliked the Xu family's inability to find the jewelry and silk rewarded by the palace, so he called the steward of the Xu family over to reprimand him, and secretly cursed the Xu family for being poor and sour, and ordered the two slaves and maids to break into the courtyard of the ancestors of the Xu family and scold Huai. It was the lady of the Xu family who sent the jewelry at the bottom of the box in her dowry, and the county lord calmed down his anger...... Since then, every time the county lord wants jewelry or money, he uses this method, and the Xu family has always dared to be angry. ”

Another maid added: "After getting married, Xu Jialangjun wanted to live in the hospital, but the county lord always insisted that he should keep filial piety and did not allow him to step in at will. However, although he said so, in fact, the county lord did not stay at home to mourn and keep filial piety, but often went out to shoot and ride horses, and occasionally drank and had fun. The slave maid and others persuaded many times, but the county lord did not listen, and when she was drunk, she scolded the first queen, saying that she was not willing to keep filial piety for the first queen at all! ”

"So, Xu Khotan's complaint to the county lord of Yichuan for slandering the first emperor, cursing the queen, and even witches plotting rebellion, is it true?" King Jing asked again, and he didn't know how many times he had secretly scolded his stupid son! - Who said that this Yichuan county lord is affectionate, filial and well-behaved? ! Shouldn't he bring all the children of his family to ruin, and dare to have fun in the filial piety of Empress Wende and Emperor Taizong!!

"It's all true!" The two maids wiped their tears and cried about their grievances, "The slaves and maids have persuaded the county lord that since they have married Xu Jialangjun, they will live in peace, and they must be able to worry about food and clothing in the future." But the county lord could not listen to such words, and punished the slaves and maids for kneeling for a whole day and a night...... Their knees were almost on their knees, and they couldn't walk for half a month, and the slaves and maids didn't dare to persuade them anymore......"

"The county lord has always resented the first emperor's unfair handling of things, and succeeded the heir to the king of Chu, and even she was reduced to a distant branch of the clan daughter that no one cared about. She was unwilling to keep filial piety, not only drank and had fun, but also kept cursing at the Buddha statue. Later, she begged for a few statues of gods from a female crown temple, and she was always disgusted with the curse, and buried them under the bed. ”

"Listen to her, these gods will always bless her, restore her identity, and make her the only princess of the Tang Dynasty...... Other words...... The slaves and maidservants did not dare to listen any further...... I don't dare to say ......"

"The county lord hated the queen and Princess Changning very much, and cursed them with the idol...... This is what the slave and maid have seen with their own eyes, and they will never dare to say half a word! Otherwise, teach the slave and maid to thunder and chop the sky and not die well!! ”

Since the two personal servants had defected, King Jing ordered the palace people to bring the dug up disgusting things and other servants. When the mud-stained puppets were on display, the saint's face changed. The most feared thing by the royal family is the witch Gu, who knows who Li Qianniang cursed in addition to Princess Changning and Queen Du? She is bent on becoming a princess, if she doesn't change people on the throne, how can she be crowned princess?!

After recording all the confessions, and hurriedly ordering the palace people to invite the senior monks and the Taoist to deal with the things that disgusted the town, King Jing glanced at the sage and said calmly: "The evidence in this case is conclusive, even if she doesn't admit it, her crime is unforgivable." The saint, the minister thinks, unfilial piety, rebellion, great disrespect, and injustice - the ten evil crimes, Li Qianniang has committed four crimes, and she must not be spared lightly. Although clan ladies are usually not sentenced to beheading or hanging, they ...... There are exceptions. ”

The saint's expression was gloomy: "After all, she is a clan girl, and she must be given a face or two." Wine, white silk or dagger, let her choose. And it can't stop there. Where is the female crown who helped her witch Gu, and whether there are other people involved, it must be carefully investigated. Uncle doesn't have to rush to deal with her, ask carefully, everyone who is good friends with her on weekdays asks, maybe there is something else. ”

King Jing's heart sank, and he hurriedly agreed.

At this time, Princess Anxing suddenly wiped her tears and said with a face full of grievances: "Sage Mingjian, a few days ago, I got a little closer to her because I took pity on her...... But I've never heard that she still has such a rebellious mind!! If I had known that she had done such a thing, how could I have approached her? ”

The saint's brows loosened slightly, as if he had regained his former gentleness: "Second sister, rest assured, they are all my own family, I can understand your compassion, and I will never implicate the innocent." It's just that witch Gu has always been a big case, and it must not be tolerated lightly. If you don't get involved, you're safe; If you have bad intentions, you should be punished. ”

Princess Anxing glanced at him deeply, and tears filled her eyes: "The sage is right, but this matter should not be made a big deal in the end." Otherwise, the reputation of our royal clan girls will be ruined by this slut...... In the future, when it comes to marriage, I am afraid that I will suffer a loss......"

"The second sister is really far-sighted." Princess Qinghe solemnly continued, "However, the imperial brother is kind by nature, so he naturally has a decision, so there is no need for me to worry too much. What's more, there is also Uncle Jing Wang. The matter handled by Zong Zhengqing, why should we go beyond the line and point fingers? ”

Princess Anxing smiled reluctantly, wiped her tears and said, "It's me who is a little confused, and my sister is very right." I also believe that Uncle Jing Wang will definitely deal with it properly. ”

This may sound like a very ordinary statement, but Li Hui, who is watching from the sidelines, always feels that there is a deep meaning in it. He still thought silently in his heart: Speaking of the reputation of the clan girl, isn't it Princess Anxing who has the most rumors at the moment? It is really ironic that she would use this incident as an excuse to persuade the saint not to continue to investigate.

The saint's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "This is a matter in the clan, and it should have been handled by my uncle." I believe that every family will always have rebellious sons and daughters, as long as they are handled properly, it will definitely not affect the marriage. ”
