Chapter 28
Roufu didn't say anything, just leaned on the ground and cried, Jiang You paused again and again: "She is your own sister, did she commit suicide, don't you know?" She paused slightly, and said slowly: "Cousin, I know that you are different from Uncle Huang, you have always been a good one, can you bear to watch your own sister die in vain?" ”
Roufu paused, looked up at her with teary eyes, and lowered his head deeply. Jiang You thought that there was a door, and made persistent efforts: "Uncle Huang will do whatever it takes to fight for this position, and now he has taken your sister's life, do you really think that she will not dare to treat you like this again?" If you still insist on not looking back, your sister is a lesson for you! ”
Roufu stopped her tears, looked up at her in a daze, her lips moved a few times, and said softly: "My life has always been decided by myself, and now that my reputation is ruined, even death is better than staying and being reviled by others." Her face was like ashes, and she knelt on the ground without a trace of life: "Your Majesty, my sister was molested by the Zhang family's son, and she couldn't bear the humiliation, so I couldn't think of jumping into the water and committed suicide, and I hope you will severely punish the real murderer and give my sister justice." ”
Jiang You saw that she was stubborn, so angry that he knocked on the table several times with the ink inkstone, but he didn't know what to do for a while, and then he heard a clear and affectionate voice outside coming in without hurrying; "The county lord really deserves to be the palm of King Ning, hard-hearted, regardless of the life or death of others, he has learned ten percent."
Jiang You knew who it was when he heard the voice, and suddenly felt as if he had found the backbone of the heart, and let out a long sigh in his heart, and said while greeting him: "The palm print is here." ”
Xue Yuan looked down at her, and saw that she was looking at herself with joy and admiration, as if she had found support, and couldn't help but sigh: "The minister has seen the emperor." He nodded slightly to say hello, and then bowed to Roufu: "Hello county lord." ”
Roufu's expression was a little evasive, he looked up at him, and hurriedly lowered his head again. Xue Yuan took a few steps forward, stood in front of her and said casually: "Since the county lord keeps claiming that Grandpa Zhang has slighted you, then you must come up with evidence, even if you are the lord of the county, you can't convict people with such a red mouth and white teeth." ”
Roufu's cheeks flushed, even if Xue Yuan was a eunuch, but on the surface, he was no different from a man, he was still an extremely dignified man, so bluntly asked her about being trivial, it was really embarrassing, she reluctantly spoke, and said, "What evidence does the factory man want?" ”
Xue Yuan said lightly: "It's nothing, since the county lord said that he was lightened by Grandpa Zhang, there are always some traces left, there are not many people in the palace, but there are a lot of old grandmothers, find a few to come over to check the county lord's body, a set of processes, it will naturally be clear." ”
Roufu has been in Beijing for many years, of course she knows what it means to have a physical examination, she is stripped naked in the house, and those snarky mothers-in-law and grandmothers are pinching a handful here and there, and you have to take a closer look, if she really lets people have a physical examination, it is really more uncomfortable than death. She shook her head in tears, unable to speak.
Cheng Beibei, who followed Xue Yuan, was also smart, raised his eyes and looked at Xue Yuan, and laughed very meanly: "The slave interjects more, where is it so troublesome to find an aunt, there are several such fathers-in-law in our East Factory, and the technique is first-class, if you want to have a physical examination, the slave will help you find someone." He bowed to Roufu with a hippie smile: "County Lord, don't worry, those fathers-in-law are all familiar with it, and you are guaranteed to be innocent after the physical examination." ”
Roufu's face turned pale with shock, and his whole body trembled: "No, no! "It's scary enough to find a grandmother for a physical examination, let alone a eunuch.
Jiang You glanced at Roufu, who was frightened to death, frowned and was about to speak, when he saw Xue Yuan look at her lightly, her eyes rolled, and she closed her mouth suddenly.
Xue Yuan said casually: "Our family promises that we will not hurt the county lord." He glanced over, and Cheng Bei said a few words with a smile.
He didn't pay attention to Roufu, who was paralyzed on the ground in fright, and turned his face to Jiang You and said, "King Ning played a good move, and he already spread this matter yesterday, even if this is the case, the emperor's reputation will be affected, what are you going to do?" ”
Jiang You glanced at Roufu, who was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and meditated on the spot for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I can gather all the important ministers in the court, and then order Cousin Dongzheng and Cousin Roufu to come up and confront her in court" She said and hung her head in frustration: "It's a pity that Cousin Roufu refuses to tell the truth, she is a woman, and she is still a victim, so she can't be tortured, right?" ”
Xue Yuan showed some satisfaction on his face, put his hands in his sleeves, and smiled happily: "The emperor can just do whatever he wants, just do it with confidence, and the minister always has a way to make the lord of Roufu speak." ”
Jiang You was startled, and his words were stumbling: "Palm, palm print, don't be like this, even if she is my cousin, she is also a royal noblewoman, she was punished like this, and I am afraid that the first one in the clan will turn against the sky, besides, she is weak, what if something happens and she is sued and beaten into a trick?" ”
Xue Yuan smiled: "Is the emperor concerned about the ministers?" He saw Jiang You's expression of being choked all of a sudden, raised his hand and stroked her shoulder: "The minister assures you that he won't let her be injured." ”
In Jiang You's heart, Xue Yuan didn't seem to have anything to do, so he let go and ordered someone to give instructions to several important ministers and King Ning's mansion, asking them to come to the Xiude Hall in the afternoon, and when the people arrived, she glanced at King Ning as if she didn't have anything, and said to several gray-bearded adults: "I invited a few adults to come today, just for yesterday's events, presumably several adults know, I won't go into detail here, yesterday's events are full of doubts, so I invited the eldest prince of the Zhang family and the lord of Roufu County to confront each other in court, Today, I will invite a few people to testify, and after a while, they will be brought to the main hall, and I hope that a few people will be silent through the screen. ”
Those adults thought that this was a trick made by Jiang You in order to protect Zhang Dongzheng, they looked at each other a few times, and they all nodded perfunctorily, but fortunately, Jiang You didn't bother to pay attention to them, turned around and opened the curtain and walked out, she went around to the desk and sat down, and instructed the waiter on the side: "Go and bring the Lord of Roufu here." ”
But after a while, Roufu was carried up by two palace maids, Jiang You saw that she was neatly dressed, and her face was clean, but her eyes were full of fear, and when she saw Jiang You, she knelt down immediately.
Jiang You glanced at her, suddenly clapped his hands, brought four men in armor with him, and said to Roufu with a pleasant face: "These are all sergeants who went to the mountain with Cousin Dongzheng that day, I am afraid that someone will borrow the name of Cousin Dongzheng to do that bad thing, so I will ask you to identify it today to see which one is Cousin Dongzheng." ”
Not only was it soft and blessed at this moment, but even King Ning and the others in the room were stunned, it was obviously a matter of one person, why did they pull out four more people at this time? Could it be that the emperor wants to frame the people next to him? One of the anxious probes looked at it, looked around carefully, and found that there was no Zhang Dongzheng among the four people, and he couldn't help but be even more stunned.
Roufu glanced at the four of them with some blankness, although she framed Zhang Dongzheng under the design of King Ning that day, she had lived in the boudoir all these years and had never seen Zhang Dongzheng. And his whereabouts were all calculated by King Ning, the day before yesterday it was dark, and she was flustered, although she glanced at it for a few moments, she really couldn't recognize Zhang Dongzheng's appearance all of a sudden.
These people are somewhat similar to Zhang Dongzheng, Roufu thought of Xue Yuan talking to her at noon, his heart jumped a few times, and he didn't dare to identify it carefully, and pointed casually: "It's him." ”
Jiang You's palms were sweating, if Roufu and Zhang Dongzheng were really confronted in court, even if Roufu told the truth, I was afraid that King Ning would bite her back and coerce her, it was better to let them see the truth with their own eyes, she paused slightly, and looked down at Roufu: "Cousin, you keep saying that Dongzheng is slighting you, why can't you even recognize others now?" ”
She gently knocked on the Zhenshanhe on the imperial case: "Among these four people, none of them are the sons of the Zhang family, but you can tell me, who is the light on you that day?" ”
As soon as these words came out, several important ministers in the house came back from shock, which was too unbelievable, the victim couldn't even recognize the appearance of the perpetrator, and he even swore that Zhang Dongzheng had slighted her, which was a strange thing.
Several people gradually came back to their senses, and began to think about it in their hearts, all of them looked at King Ning, who was pale, intentionally or unintentionally, thinking of the fact that he framed Jiang You's life experience a few days ago, with shock and disdain in their eyes, they saw him striding out, bowing to Jiang You and saying: "Your Majesty, it was in the mountains and forests that day, and it was dusk, and the sky was dark, and the little girl couldn't recognize it for a while." ”
Jiang You glanced at him lightly and said to Roufu: "Cousin, tell me about it." ”
Roufu didn't completely recognize Zhang Dongzheng, but when she thought of Xue Yuan's methods, and thought of King Ning's coldness, she crawled on the ground like resignation, her expression was wooden, and she couldn't shed a single tear, she lowered her head and said in an empty voice: "The courtiers really don't know the Zhang family's son, and the courtiers will accuse him, all because of the order of the father, the father's order cannot be violated, please punish the emperor." ”
King Ning's face changed greatly, and he stared at Roufu with a terrifying expression, Jiang You looked at King Ning with disgust: "What else does Uncle Huang have to say now?" She said with a cold face: "Since there is nothing to say, then I will make an order." ”
Mrs. Li, who was sitting on the screen, couldn't stand it anymore for a long time, and raised his voice: "King Ning has bad intentions, and he should be severely punished according to law!" ”
Jiang You remembered Xue Yuan's instructions, thought for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, then demote the knighthood, punish him for life, exile him to Lingnan, and leave another proton in Beijing, and set off on the same day, without delaying under any pretext!" ”
