Chapter XXXVIII
Ru Yan shouted at Ha Yue: "Ha Yue, go tell Yuan Gongzi and let him prepare, we will escort Ning Tao to Gongzhitai for public trial!" ”
I screamed a few times, but I didn't see a response. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The green pothos next door replied, "Childe, Sister Hazy Moon is not here, she is out!" ”
But after a while, Hazy Moon returned, and ran out of breath.
"Oh no, no!" Hazy Moon gasped and said urgently.
Ru Yan poured her a cup of tea and said, "What's wrong?" Speak slowly! “
"Ship...... The ship drove away! Hazy Moon said.
"What? The ship drove away? When Luluo heard this, she immediately rushed over from next door, "Then we can't go back?" Why is this happening? Didn't the owner of the ship promise to take us with him? Why didn't you even call us? “
Ru Yan smiled and touched the pothos's head: "Little fool, don't worry, I will definitely take you away!" “
Then, she said to Ha Yue: "Ha Yue, you go and call Yuan Gongzi, you go and arrest Ning Zhizhang together!" “
"Huh? Catch Ning Zhizhang? Haze Yue was very surprised at first, but soon returned to normal, after all, Ru Yan's behavior often made her guess, and she was used to it, "Oh, good! “
Unexpectedly, before Haze Yue went out, Ning Zhizhang ran over by himself: "That's right, I did it!" Catch me, get me in! “
Ning Zhizhang looked very happy.
"Very good, Master Ning, very conscious! Let Master Ning and Master Ning reunite!"
"Then, is there still a public trial?" Pothos asked.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow's public trial, it's not too early today, and besides, you have to give some people some time to prepare, right?" Ru Yan replied.
The next day, the public trial of the Gongzhitai was held, and the villagers were still surrounded by the inner three layers and the outer three layers.
"Can we start?" Hazy Moon leaned down and asked Ru Yan quietly.
"Are you all here?" Ru Yan asked.
"The people from Ningfu didn't come!" Hazy Moon replied.
"Forget it, let's start, it's not too early, don't wait!"
With a 'snap', Ru Yan slapped the startling wood heavily, and the noisy villagers below immediately fell silent.
"The second public trial of the disappearance of Kao Guo Peony is now open, come and bring the suspects Ning Tao and Ning Zhizhang!"
"Why was Master Ning also arrested?"
"Yes, Master Ning was also arrested, didn't he only arrest Master Ning?"
"Why were they all arrested?"
There was a lot of talk at the bottom.
'Bang', another shocking slap, and the discussion of the crowd below was a little quieter.
Yuan Feng escorted Ning Zhizhang and Ning Tao into the field.
Ning Tao still hung his head, but Ning Zhizhang was completely different, Ning Zhizhang raised his head high, very proud, and when he entered, he even smiled and greeted the familiar people in the crowd.
"Be serious!" Yuan Feng reminded.
Ning Zhizhang smiled and stood still on the interrogation platform.
The situation has completely reversed, last time he was not among the trials, but he was anxious, and now, standing on the trial platform, he is at peace.
Liu Yuanqing walked over, and Tie Qing asked Ning Zhizhang in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
"What's going on? Can't you see it? Arrested, tried! Ning Zhizhang had a hippie smile.
"What a mistake! Both of you have been arrested, what should you do at home? What to do with Splendor? Yanagihara Qing scolded.
"In-laws, you are really an old fox, in fact, what do you really care about is what to do with Jinxiu, right? Didn't you say that you wanted to take Jinxiu away from the Ning family? This is a good opportunity! ”
"You ......, what about your wife?" Yanagihara asked.
"My wife is eighty years old, and the Ning family's big family business is not enough for her to live the rest of her life?" Ning Zhizhang still looked indifferent.
"Silence, please don't whisper to the suspect!" Ru Yan shouted from above.
Yanagihara Qing had no choice but to walk away stupidly.
"My lord, don't you want everyone to raise their hands to vote on whether our father and son are guilty? Hurry up and vote, and submit the results to the court after the vote. By the way, don't forget to add an article to the reported document - the verdict of this case is the result of the collective vote of the local people! Ning Zhizhang said triumphantly.
This remark caused laughter from the onlookers below.
"Silence!" Ru Yan slapped the startled wood three times in a row to stop the laughter of the crowd below.
"This official now announces that due to the complexity of this case, I have handed over this case to my superior, Lord Inspector, and the ship of Lord Inspector will be able to arrive here within today, and when the time comes, Ning Zhizhang and Ning Tao will be transferred to the Beijing Division for retrial, and Guo Shaoyao will continue to search by the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court!"
Ning Zhizhang and Ning Tao didn't say anything.
On the contrary, the villagers below were again talking and accusing.
"How can this adult be like this, casually escort people to the capital!"
"Yes, both men have been taken away, and there are only two women left in the Ning Mansion, one old and one young!"
"yes, it's too hasty to solve the case like this!"
"What should I do?" Hazy Moon looked at the situation below and it was a little difficult to end.
After another big shock, Ru Yan announced, "That's all for today's public trial, escort the suspect back to the ancestral hall!" ”
"Wronged! My lord! Treat unjustly! A woman's voice emerged from the crowd below.
"Finally someone took over the show!" Yu Heng whispered.
"Alas, if no one has taken the play yet, my one-man show will end badly with an embarrassing singing!" Ru Yan also replied in a low voice.
The crowd automatically split their way.
A dignified and beautiful, fresh and elegant woman walked out of the crowd with firm and powerful steps.
"Splendid?" Ning Zhizhang, Ning Tao, and Liu Yuanqing shouted almost at the same time.
"What are you doing as a woman? Go back! Liu Yuanqing hurriedly ran over to pull Jinxiu.
Subsequently, Liu Yuanqing hurriedly said to Ru Yan: "My lord, please calm my anger, the little lady is a Taoist family, she doesn't know how to be polite, she offended the adult, and I ask the adult to forgive me, and the villain quickly took her home to strictly control her." ”
Jinxiu broke free of Liu Yuanqing's hand: "Daddy, when your daughter has not yet left the cabinet, you will always teach your daughter the way of three obedience and four virtues, of which three conformities are: unmarried from the father, married from the husband, and the husband from the son." Since her daughter has married into the Ning family, she should swear to follow her husband to the death. Now that your husband and father-in-law are in prison at the same time, how can you tell Jinxiu to sit idly by? ”
"What a well-informed woman, but today the official has set up a public trial in this public knowledge platform, and this is the public court. Do you know what the consequences of this rampage will be? Ru Yan asked.
"The women are ignorant, but no matter what the consequences are today, the women will redress their husbands and fathers-in-law, my lord!" Jinxiu knelt down and bowed.
"Jinxiu, what are you going to do? Come home, go home! Ning Tao, who had never spoken, shouted.
"Jinxiu, good boy obedient, don't mess around here, you go home quickly, go home and take care of grandma, Tao'er and I will be able to go home soon!" Ning Zhizhang also shouted.
"What grievances do they have, you tell the official to hear it!" Ru Yan said.
"My lord, Guo Shaoyao's disappearance has nothing to do with her husband and father-in-law!" Splendid replied sonorously and forcefully.
"This kind of thing, this official is already tired of listening to your father-in-law, unless you can come up with strong evidence to prove ......."
"My lord, because the person who kidnapped Guo Shaoyao is me!" Splendid replied.
The audience was stunned, as if a pot had exploded.
"What nonsense are you talking about, it's none of your business at all, what crime are you guilty of? Do you know what the consequences of doing this are? Ning Tao shouted with a cry.
"You stupid girl, why are you so stupid, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ning Zhizhang also choked up when he said it.
Looking at Liu Yuanqing again, he had already knelt on the ground with a 'plop', "My lord, don't listen to Jinxiu's nonsense, she ...... She's crazy! Really, my lord, she didn't count what she said, she was crazy! “
Ning Tao and Ning Zhizhang also knelt on the ground in unison.
"Please Mingjian, this matter has nothing to do with Jinxiu, she just wants to save me!" Ning Tao shouted.
"I beg you, if you want to clean up our Ning family, come at me, an old man, and let the children go!" Ning Zhizhang said.
"Quiet, is this the court or your own home, do you want the official to speak?"
Ru Yan pretended to cough a few times, and then asked Jinxiu: "What evidence do you have, and what witnesses can prove that you kidnapped Peony?" And where was the kidnapped Guo Peony hidden by you? “
"I've got proof, Cherry, bring it quickly!" Jinxiu waved her hand to a little girl, and the little girl walked in with a burden, and then knelt with Jinxiu.
Jinxiu took the bag and opened it, revealing a pair of red brocade embroidered shoes embroidered with a few peach blossoms on them.
"My lord, please see, I believe everyone has seen these shoes, it is what Peony usually wears! This is what it dropped when I kidnapped Peony and when Peony escaped! “
"What nonsense are you talking about, my lord, she's talking nonsense, she's talking nonsense!" Yanagihara Qing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"My lord, don't listen to Jinxiu, what she said is not true!" Ning Tao shouted.
"That's right, my lord, Jinxiu just wants to exonerate us, my lord, Mingjian!" Ning Zhizhang was also anxious.
"It's noisy, come here, take Liu Yuanqing, Ning Zhizhang, and Ning Tao away from the scene temporarily! Ru Yan said with a frown.
After the three were dragged away from the scene, Ru Yan continued to ask Jinxiu: "What about your witnesses?" “
"My witness is the cherry, and she can testify to all the cherries I have made!"
"Cherry, yes and yes?" Ru Yan suddenly raised her voice, startling Cherry.
"I ...... I ......". Cherry slurred.
"Cherry!" Jinxiu glanced at her and nodded at her.
"Yes, sir!" Cherry replied quietly.
"So, where is Guo Shaoyao hiding by you now?"
"When I kidnapped her, she accidentally escaped, and she fell into the river and was washed away by the water!"
"So, where did you kidnap Peony?"
"Your Excellency, at the intersection of lotus roads!"
"Good, good!" Ru Yan stood up and applauded.
Suddenly, her face changed: "Bold! ”
Jinxiu's body trembled in fright, but quickly calmed down: "What do you mean, my lord?" ”
Liu Jinxiu dared to give perjury in court and deceive the court officials. Come on, arrest Liu Jinxiu! ”
