Chapter 159: The Truth Revealed
Gu Shaoyuan naturally didn't miss the hint of ridicule in Qin Fang's eyes. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info squinted his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Be specific." β
The old man kowtowed, stammered with a frightened face, and said: "Back to the emperor's words, this specific villain is not very clear, but he listened to it, and only knew that this Sun Er spent two taels of silver to buy a daughter-in-law, and then the girl took Sun Er's money and ran away, and I didn't know anything else." β
Huo Chenyi squinted his eyes and asked lightly, "What about this Sun Er's family?" β
The old man hurriedly replied: "The prince doesn't know, this grandson is an orphan, fatherless and motherless, and he grew up eating hundreds of family meals." β
Gu Shaoyuan nodded: "How is Sun Er?" β
The old man replied, "Although Sun Er is greedy for some money, there is nothing wrong with the others....... Oh yes. β
Uncle Wang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly replied: "Since thirteen or fourteen years ago, this Sun Er doesn't seem to have thought about the little ones taking out a meal. β
Sun Er hurriedly said: "That's Lao Tzu finding a job, is it possible that Lao Tzu will not be able to eat for a lifetime." β
Uncle Wang hurriedly explained to Gu Shaoyuan: "Your Majesty, Xiao Wan doesn't mean that. β
After that, he paused, glanced at Gu Shaoyuan, and continued: "It's just that I've only seen him idle all these years, but he has never worried about food and ......clothing."
"Idle but never worried about food and clothing?" Gu Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows, turned his eyes and suddenly looked at the people who would be brought by Qin Fang, raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Uncle Wang, do you know all these people?" β
Uncle Wang squinted his eyes at those people, and said resignedly: "The little ones only recognize one or two." β
After that, one or two of them were identified: "These two people are in a similar situation to Sun Er, they are both orphans. β
"It's all orphans......" Gu Shaoyuan muttered slightly, turned his head to look at the other three unidentified people, and asked, "Can anyone know the other three?" β
Someone immediately came out to identify him, and Huo Chenyi asked, "Are these people orphans?" β
"Exactly."
Huo Chenyi nodded, glanced at Qin Fang's mother and daughter meaningfully, and said meaningfully: "But it's a coincidence, these people are all orphans." β
"Coincidentally, they are all idle, but they don't have to worry about food and clothing."
Hai Shi sneered, looked at Qin Fang coldly, and asked lightly, "I wonder if Aunt Qin can give an explanation?" β
Qin Fang slightly wiped away the panic in her eyes, and pretended to be calm: "It's strange for Mrs. Tai to ask this, what does the concubine want to explain?" β
Hai sneered, Huo Chenyi asked: "The identities of these people may not be too coincidental, if no one instructs them, is it so easy for my aunt to be the emperor?" β
Gu Shaoyuan also said to the nobody: "Do you know what the crime of slandering the county lord should be? β
The five people were stubborn, but no one spoke when they knelt collectively, Huo Chenyi sneered: "It is the crime of the Nine Clans to slander the county lord of the dynasty." β
Gu Shaoyuan sneered: "For the sake of you all orphans, the Nine Clans will be exempted, the five horses will be divided into corpses or Ling Chi, King Ningjun, which do you think you should use?" β
"The minister thinks that they slandered the minister's sister, although it is indeed excessive, it will not be too late, and the emperor will be gracious, and the five horses will be divided."
As the name suggests, five horses are tied to their hands, feet and necks and ride on the horses, and when the hour comes, the five horses run in five directions, dividing the human body into five parts...... Just thinking about it makes me feel a chill on the back of my neck.
Seeing that one of the people kneeling on the ground was loose, Huo Chenyi hooked the corners of his mouth, and said: "Your Majesty, if they make up for the merits and tell who instigated it, do you think they can be sentenced lightly?" β
Gu Shaoyuan let out a faint "um" and said, "If they are willing to make up for their mistakes, this can also be considered." β
Huo Chenyi looked at the five people and asked lightly, "Do any of you want to say it?" β
Qin Fang saw that someone was loose, and she was naturally scared in her heart, so she hurriedly said before someone could speak: "Your Majesty, what Sun Er said is no different from what Uncle Wang said, and the slave maid thinks that the emperor should interrogate the county lord first." β
"Presumptuous!" Huo Chenyi was suddenly furious, slapped the table and glared at Qin Fang angrily, and scolded: "The emperor is interrogating prisoners, how can you allow a slave and maid to interject?" Or do you not trust the emperor's judgment at all, auntie? β
These two hats were buttoned down, but Qin Fang couldn't afford it, so she hurriedly kowtowed and admitted her mistake: "The slave knows her mistake, and the slave and maid have no intention of questioning the emperor." β
"Neither questioned, but then shut up."
Gu Shaoyuan glanced at Qin Fang coldly, and in his heart, he couldn't get by with Qin Fang's calculation of Huo Yunxuan over the years, this time Qin Fang was directly joking about Huo Yunxuan's reputation, and she was pretending to be Miss Houfu and her fiancΓ©, if it was spread out, would Huo Yunxuan's reputation still be not?
If Qin Fang hadn't been done today, how would Gu Shaoyuan have stopped? looked faintly at the five people kneeling under him,
"If you don't say anything, I will directly order someone to drag you down and divide your bodies......."
Before the words were finished, someone couldn't stand the threat, kowtowed and confessed: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the small moves, all the small moves." β
Gu Shaoyuan sneered: "Who will say first?" β
That Sun Er was faster than anyone else, for fear of being robbed: "Your Majesty, the little one will speak first, and the small one will speak first." β
Sun Er was the first to frame Huo Yunxuan, and pretended to be Huo Yunxuan's fiancΓ©, Gu Shaoyuan had long hated him in his heart, and when he saw him come out, he just snorted coldly, and his tone was light: "Then you will talk about it first." β
Sun Er framed Huo Yunxuan the hardest, so he was even more afraid of what Gu Shaoyuan would do to him, so he made up for it and grabbed the first place. At this time, when he heard Gu Shaoyuan's cold tone, his heart was a little furious, for fear that he would still be divided by the five horses if he didn't explain it thoroughly, and he was busy with everything he could
"Your Majesty, thirteen or fourteen years ago, Aunt Qin of the palace...... At that time, this Aunt Qin was just a big girl next to Mrs. Guifu, and she found a few small ones, saying that she wanted to cultivate a wave of her own power...... Your Majesty, you also know that the little ones who have no father, no mother, and no ability to earn money, will not starve to death, and the little ones will do things for money if they want to. β
Cultivating your own forces? Huo Chenyi and Huo Yunxuan frowned and glanced at each other, and Huo Chenyi asked, "Who is this force cultivated for?" First lady or ......"
"I don't know about this little one, and the little one is just doing things with money."
Huo Chenyi frowned and nodded, glanced at Huo Yunxuan, and saw Huo Yunxuan nodding to herself, Huo Chenyi said, "That's it, you continue." β
Sun Erying continued: "Over the years, the little ones have done things for Aunt Qin, until recently Aunt Qin suddenly found the little one, saying that the four girls in your mansion seemed to be impersonated, but they couldn't find evidence, so they could only make this decision, and now the small one in the village rendered the fake news that the daughter-in-law who spent two taels of silver to buy ran away with someone, saying that when they came to the palace, they just said according to the words they gave, and said that she was responsible for everything, and the little ones should not worry." β
"Oh?" Gu Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows and dragged his tail for a moment, and asked lightly, "Are you sure what you said is true?" β
"Back to the emperor, every word that Xiao said is true."
As he spoke, he pointed to the others and said hurriedly: "If the emperor doesn't believe in the small, you can ask others." β
Everyone else nodded in agreement: "What Sun Er said is indeed right, the little ones are just doing things with money, and some people promise that just according to what they taught, someone will bear the responsibility of something, and the little ones dare to slander the county lord like this." β
"Yes, please also ask the emperor to be clear, if the little ones know what it is to frame the county lord of the dynasty, they will give the little ones ten heads, and the little ones will not dare to slander the county lord with half a lie."
Gu Shaoyuan sneered: "Qin Fang! Is there anything else you have to explain? β
"Your Majesty!"
Qin Fang never thought that there would be the emperor's intervention in this matter, so she naturally didn't expect that Sun Er would sell herself, so she knelt down and cried unwillingly: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged, it was these people who came to the door and said to the slave and the eldest lady that the county lord was impersonated, and the slave and the eldest lady were suspicious for a while......"
Huo Yun also knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, the courtiers and aunts and brothers are all wronged, these villains must be afraid of the emperor's punishment to put the responsibility on the aunt." β
Huo Pingyi also explained: "Your Majesty, I think my aunt is just an aunt in the house, where did such a small force come from to buy people outside?" It must have been these people who shifted the blame to the aunt in order to escape the guilt. β
As soon as those people heard that Qin Fang's mother and son were going to put all the blame on them, they naturally didn't do it, and they all climbed forward to avenge their grievances: "Please also ask the emperor to be clear, the little ones have been with the girls in the house for a long time, why do they want to blame the county lord?" β
Gu Shaoyuan nodded and said lightly: "What the hell is going on in this matter, I know very well in my heart. β
After that, he turned his eyes to look at Huo Chenyi, Huo Chenyi understood, looked at Qin Fang and sneered: "Could it be that they will not be able to make a fortune?" Calculate in advance, what will happen, and traditionally settle the whole village of Yaojia Village in advance? Could it be that Aunt Qin regarded the emperor as a fool? β
Old Mrs. Huo saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and she was afraid that it would involve Huo Pingyi and Huo Yunyi, so she hurriedly said before Gu Shaoyuan could speak: "Sister Yi'er, Brother Ping'er, you two are also confused, knowing that your aunt's brain has not been bright all these years, why are you still so angry because of Aunt Qin's words?" β
After that, he looked at the emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the eldest granddaughter of the old body has always regarded herself as the eldest sister, and the younger sisters under the discipline on weekdays are all doing their best. β
In order to keep the Huo family and make the Huo family endure, Mrs. Huo has long had plans to send the daughter of the Huo family to the palace, there are only a few girls of the right age, and the girls in the second and third rooms are not as good as the famous Huo Yun There is also hope, although there is something happening today, Mrs. Huo wants to round things up first, and then send Huo Yun into the palace after this time, Huo Yun is also careless and gentle to serve, the emperor is young and vigorous, how can he still care about what happened today 800 years ago?
Huo Yun and Huo Pingyi are the masters in the end, if these two people are arrested and their reputations are ruined, and they are both damaged, do you want the reputation of the other girls and masters of the Huo family? Even if Gu Shaoyuan doesn't think about others, he has to think about Huo Yunxuan and Huo Chenyi. Besides, so many pairs of eyes looked at Huo Chenyi and waited for him to make a mistake, if the young lady and the master had an accident at the same time, wouldn't Huo Chenyi be impeached to death?
Gu Shaoyuan glanced at Huo Yunyi and Huo Pingyi sisters and brothers coldly, and said lightly: "What the old lady said is very true, the eldest lady and the third master are just concerned about it. β
After that, he glanced at Qin Fang lightly, and said to Gundam: "Tie up the person and hand it over to the Zongren Mansion." β
"Your Majesty! The slave and maid are wronged, the emperor...... Hmm...... "Qin Fang wanted to shout again, but she was gagged by Gundam and couldn't speak.
Huo Yunyi's sister and brother wanted to intercede when they saw their biological mother like this, but when they touched Gu Shaoyuan's cold eyes, and thought of the guilt that Qin Fang would suffer in the future, they retreated in their hearts, and only lowered their heads and pretended not to hear.
After Gundam dragged the person down, Gu Shaoyuan commanded again: "The five of you who slandered the county lord should be punished for their crimes, and if you point out the real culprit in time, you will make up for it, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime will not escape, and one person will be rewarded with fifty boards if you drag it down." β
Zhao Dongxi should be a middle-class person, but Huo Yunxuan suddenly said: "Wait!" β
These fifty boards hit the body, and if they don't die, they will have half a life, and they can't afford to hire a doctor on their terms...... After receiving fifty boards, he could only go home and wait for death......
Huo Yunxuan suddenly remembered that when she was in Cining Palace, Zhishu mentioned to herself that the death of Empress Yuan was not a hemorrhage at all, but a poisonous hand of the current Queen Mother. At that time, because she was afraid that she was in the palace, Huo Yunxuan didn't let Zhishu say anything, and when she came back, she was busy buying all kinds of food, but she forgot about it, but now she suddenly remembered it. If it was just a grudge between the queen and the queen of the Yuan, Zhishu would naturally not deliberately say it to himself, and there were still very important things that he didn't have time to say later.
Coincidentally, the cause of her mother's death was also due to dystocia and hemorrhage.......
I also think that this group of people is Qin Fang's people who were raised thirteen or fourteen years ago, Qin Fang will not eat and drink for these people for so many years, these people also said that they have done many things for Qin Fang, and these things, what do they include?
Huo Yunxuan frowned, looked at Sun Er, and asked, "What have you all done for Aunt Qin?" β
Huo Yunxuan's eyes were so terrifying, bright as if he could see through anything, but Sun Er's eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look at Huo Yunxuan's eyes, so he only lowered his head and said: "After so many years, it's just a trivial matter, and the small ones are all forgotten after taking the money......"
Sun Er's ambiguous words made Gu Shaoyuan frown: "Since the county lord asks you, you will be honest in every detail.......
Before she finished speaking, Huo Yunxuan raised her hand to interrupt....... dared to interrupt the emperor's speech, Huo Yunxuan was the first. Everyone in the room gasped, and Hai kept giving Huo Yunxuan a look, signaling her not to speak anymore, but she didn't want to, Huo Yunxuan's next words were even more amazing. (To be continued.) )
