Chapter 147: Capture of Stolen Goods
Ji Yu also turned her head to look.
In the blink of an eye, the guards of the Criminal Department had already arrived at the gate of the Ji family.
Ji Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Magu and Mrs. Zhao also followed her line of sight.
"Controlling the ......" In front of everyone, more than a dozen guards of the Criminal Department turned over and dismounted, and one by one they had long knives pinned to their waists, and they were very majestic.
At that moment, the onlookers couldn't help but retreat with horror on their faces.
He Zhan, the head of the guards of the Criminal Department, swept around, and he said in a deep voice: "Which one is Ji's aunt?"
Ji Yu's heart sank, aren't these people coming for her?
Magu and Mrs. Zhao were startled, and the two of them looked at Ji Yu intently.
None of the hundreds of people present spoke, but they couldn't help but set their eyes on Ji Yu.
He Zhan followed their line of sight and his gaze fell on Ji Yan, and he looked at Ji Yan fixedly.
Under his gaze, Ji Yu slowly stood up, and she whispered to He Zhan Yingying Yifu: "I am Ji's aunt." ”
More than a dozen guards followed behind He Zhan.
He Zhan strode up the steps, he walked in front of Ji Yu in a few steps, crossed his hands under the gaze of everyone and said, "Please Jiaojiao come with us!"
Before Ji Yu could speak, Mrs. Zhao on the side stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask this adult why this is this?"
"Ahma, you're back. At that time, Li came over with his mother-in-law and maidservant.
Li's eyes fell on the guards of the Criminal Department, she couldn't help but be startled, and then hurriedly walked to Ji Yan's side, she asked with a concerned face, "What happened?"
Ji Yu looked at He Zhan in a panic.
He Zhan said expressionlessly: "Just now, Princess Jiang He's maidservant girl came to report that a pearl given by the prince was lost in the side hall, only Ji's aunt lived in the side hall for a few days, she is very suspicious, we have to take her back to find out about this matter." ”
As soon as his voice fell, the eyes of all the people present who looked at Ji Yu changed.
Ji Yu's face turned pale with fright, and she muttered with tears in her eyes: "My lord, I didn't steal the pearl. ”
Her voice trembled, and she looked weak.
"My Jiaojiao must not steal the pearl. Magu stood up and said loudly.
"Why do you want to take my Jiaojiao back to the Criminal Department without any evidence?" asked Mrs. Zhao loudly.
Li Shi glanced at Ji Yan, she looked up at He Zhan and said, "I'm afraid you're mistaken!
He Zhan said coldly: "After she arrives at the Criminal Department, we will find out, and we will not wronged a good person, nor will we wrongly indulge a bad person." ”
As soon as He Zhan's voice fell, the two guards strode towards Ji Yan.
Ji Wei bit her lip tightly, and she defended loudly with a panicked face: "I didn't steal the pearl......"
So far, what does she not understand, Princess Jiang He couldn't send an assassin to kill her, so she slandered her on this trumped-up charge, wanting her to be ruined.
A hint of coldness flashed in Ji Wei's eyes.
The two guards had already walked in front of her, and Magu and Mrs. Zhao stepped forward to block the two guards and said, "You can't take my Jiaojiao away." ”
At that time, a carriage stopped at the door of Ji's house, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
He Zhan also turned his head to look.
The reason why this carriage can attract everyone's attention is because there are four palace guards and two palace maids accompanying it, and this battle is not small.
Several guards in the palace were born, but the two palace maids Ji Yu knew each other, it was Ah Zhu and Ah Tao.
The two people stepped forward and pushed the car door, and Mrs. Fan lifted her legs and got out of the carriage.
Mrs. Fan swept around and walked towards Ji Yu.
She walked in front of Ji Yu in a few steps and said: "Jiaojiao should go to the criminal department to find out about this matter, if it is an ordinary pearl, it is just an ordinary pearl, but this pearl was given to the princess by the prince." ”
"My Jiaojiao said that she didn't steal the pearl, maybe someone else took it, and it was not too late for the Criminal Department to have conclusive evidence to take my Jiaojiao. Before Ji Yu could speak, Mrs. Zhao said to Mrs. Fan.
Mrs. Fan glanced at Mrs. Zhao lightly, and she had a high-minded posture and didn't bother to talk to Mrs. Zhao at all.
Ji Yu was so frightened that she couldn't even speak, she cried vigorously, and her whole body trembled.
Mrs. Fan smiled faintly, she was very understanding and persuaded Ji Yu: "My princess said, she and Jiaojiao talked very happily, quite a feeling of seeing each other late, if Jiaojiao really took the pearl, as long as she said it truthfully, the princess will not only not pursue the matter, but will also give the pearl to Jiaojiao, if Jiaojiao takes it, she will admit it! ”
She really thinks that Ji Wei is a girl who can be coaxed at will, this sentence is full of pits, and once Ji Wei falls, she will never be able to climb up.
Ji Yu had tears in her eyes, she looked at Mrs. Fan and said, "When I left the palace, Sister Ah Zhu and Sister Ah Tao were always there, and the princess treated me like a sister, how could I steal her pearl?"
Ah Zhu and Ah Tao glanced up at Ji Yu, and the two of them said in unison: "As soon as Jiaojiao walked away, the pearl of the side hall was gone, and when the slave went to get food for Jiaojiao in the morning, Jiaojiao was alone in the palace, and the palace was heavily guarded, except for Jiaojiao, no one else had entered the side hall. ”
They said that Ji Yu took the pearl.
Li couldn't even say a word, she was hoping that Ji Wei would fall!
"I didn't. Ji Yu looked like she had a clear conscience.
Mrs. Fan looked at Ji Yu intently and said, "So Jiaojiao is sure that she didn't steal the pearl?"
"Yes. Ji Yu bit her lip and said, isn't it clear whether she took the pearl or not?
As everyone knows, what Mrs. Fan is waiting for is her words.
Mrs. Fan hooked her lips, she looked at Ji Yu and said, "It's not impossible to prove Jiaojiao's innocence. ”
She paused.
Magu asked aloud, "What's the way?"
She has watched Jiaojiao grow up since she was a child, and she knows exactly what Jiaojiao is.
Ji Yu and Mrs. Zhao also looked at Mrs. Fan intently.
Ji Wei didn't think she would have such a good heart, first designed to slander her, and then washed away her grievances, so she didn't have any hope in her heart at all.
As long as Jiaojiao agrees to search her body in public, she can naturally prove Jiaojiao's innocence. Mrs. Fan looked at Ji Yu and said loudly.
Everyone present looked at Ji Yu intently.
Somehow, a hint of foreboding flashed in Ji Wei's heart, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Searching her body in public is already humiliating, no matter what the result is, this disgraceful imprint will fall on Ji Yu, and it will never be erased in her life after that.
But if she doesn't agree, the charge of stealing the pearl will fall on her.
In front of everyone's eyes, she couldn't argue.
Princess Jiang He is trying to force her to death!
Magu was simple-minded, she turned her head to look at Ji Yu and said, "Jiaojiao and let them search." ”
He Zhan glanced at Ji Yan lightly, and he didn't say a word.
A smile flashed in Fan Pozi's eyes, and she glanced at Ah Zhu and Ah Tao intently.
Ah Zhu and Ah Tao comprehended, and the two of them faced Ji Yu Yingying: "Offended Jiaojiao!"
Or did Mrs. Zhao understand in her heart, her footsteps moved in front of Ah Zhu and Ah Tao, she looked at Mrs. Fan and said slowly: "It's okay to search your body, it's just that my family is Jiaojiao in the boudoir, no matter what the result of the public search, my Jiaojiao has no face to live in the world, why don't you retreat to the vermilion gate and search your body?"
A hint of appreciation flashed in Ji Wei's eyes, in the end, it was Zhao Pozi who was more well-informed and saw it thoroughly.
Mrs. Fan smiled: "The princess is naturally merciful!"
Now that Ji Yu is already difficult to ride a tiger, she quietly gave Mrs. Zhao a look.
Mrs. Zhao looked at Mrs. Fan, Yingying, and then said: "If you can't find anything, won't my Jiaojiao's humiliation be in vain?"
Fan Pozi said at the moment: "If you can't find anything, the slave will apologize to Jiaojiao in public." ”
Mrs. Zhao took a step back.
Mrs. Fan hooked her lips and smiled, looked at Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Magu and said, "You can go with your Jiaojiao." ”
Magu and Mrs. Zhao's eyes lit up.
Li stared at them intently.
"Jiaojiao, please!" Ah Zhu said as she looked at Ji Yu.
Ji Wei bowed slightly, she turned around and entered the Ji family, Ah Zhu, Ah Tao, and Ma Gu and Zhao Pozi followed.
All the servants in the courtyard avoided each other.
Just behind the Zhu Gate of the Ji family, Ah Zhu and Ah Tao stepped forward to search their bodies.
Magu and Mrs. Zhao had a tacit understanding to untie the fox fur on their bodies, and blocked in front of Ji Yu one after the other.
Ji Yu watched them slowly open their arms.
"Jiaojiao is offended!" Ah Zhu and Ah Tao stepped forward to search.
A hint of sharpness flashed under Ji Yu's seemingly weak face.
She will remember what Princess Jiang He has done to her, the humiliation she has made today, and she will definitely return it to her in the future.
None of the onlookers left.
The old man who had just praised Ji Wei, he glanced at Fan Pozi and said loudly: "Those who know the rhythm of music know that the qin is like a person, Jiaojiao can play such a natural sound, how can she look at those worldly things in her eyes." ”
The onlookers nodded one after another, and some even chimed in: "We don't believe that Ji's aunt will steal the pearl." ”
Their words clearly fell into Ji Wei's ears, and for some reason, Ji Wei always had a lingering sense of foreboding in her heart.
Magu and Mrs. Zhao looked at Ah Zhu and Ah Tao intently, they didn't dare to relax for a moment, for fear that Ah Zhu and Ah Tao would take the opportunity to do something, and Jiaojiao would not be able to wash it even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Ji Yu didn't dare to take it lightly, especially when Mrs. Fan agreed so happily, which made her even more suspicious.
"What is this?" Under the gaze of Magu and Mrs. Zhao, Ah Zhu took out something from Ji Yu's wide sleeve on the right side.
In the sunlight, a bead the size of a baby's fist glowed faintly.
In an instant, everyone was shocked.
"How is this possible?" Ji Yu's whole person fell to the bottom in an instant, and she muttered with a pale face: "I have never touched this pearl." ”
Ah Zhu hurriedly walked out with the pearl.
