Volume I 026 Acquittal
The reason why Gu Qingwan didn't take out the jade pendant at the first time was that Qin Yu left suddenly, so he only mentioned the jade pendant, Gu Qingwan couldn't figure out whether the demon was teasing herself, or if she really intended to help, and she always felt that the demon was unreliable.
Second, she also has hope, thinking that everyone is watching, as long as she can prove Zhuang Yuexian's innocence and the people's wishes, then Governor Sun can't help them.
Subconsciously, she still only believes in herself and only relies on herself.
But she was too naΓ―ve, underestimating the shameless meanness of Governor Sun and her ability to cover the sky with one hand.
Seeing that Governor Sun had to take their lives, Gu Qingwan could only pin his last hope on the jade pendant.
Now seeing that the prefect of Sun saw that Yu Pei was so panicked that he almost fell to the ground, out of the ocean, Gu Qingwan's heart suddenly settled down, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since the two parties are in dispute, we will suspend the hall for a stick of incense first, and then try it later!"
Above, Governor Sun pinched the jade pendant, dropped these words, and took the master to the back office. Seeing that everyone looked at each other, Gu Qingwan secretly pinched Zhuang Yuexian's hand and gave her a reassuring look.
Houya, Master Cui saw Governor Sun pinching the jade pendant and walking back and forth in the back hall, with a solemn expression, so he bowed forward and said, "Master, what's wrong with this jade pendant?" β
Governor Sun handed the jade pendant in his hand to Master Cui and said, "Take a look, be careful, don't break it." β
Master Cui observed the words and colors, knowing that this jade pendant was only afraid of having a big origin, so he was busy owing his waist, carefully took it, and looked through it carefully, but saw that it was a very pure imperial green jade pendant, which was smooth and flawless, with a delicate texture, and the green oil, the emerald color inside seemed to be able to drip out at any time.
The jade pendant is huge, round, the size of his palm, and the pattern is hollowed out and carved on it, Master Cui looks carefully, the pattern is lifelike, shaped like a lion, swallowing smoke and spitting smoke, majestic, that is clearly fierce!
Master Cui's hand shook, sweat broke out on his forehead, and said, "This ...... It's ......"
Governor Sun nodded and said, "That's right, it's a fox." The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each with their own differences, and had long heard that King Zhongyi had paid tribute to an extremely rare and extremely large imperial green jade. However, the first emperor divided the imperial green into nine pieces, and made the court craftsmen carve nine jade pendants, which were given to his five princes and four nephews, and the nine jade pendants were carved with the nine sons of the dragon. When today's son is carved on the jade pendant, it is a jaw. Although this official is not honored to see any of the nine jade pendants, but this is also one of the nine sons of the dragon, it is not something that anyone can carve on the jade pendant to wear, not to mention, this imperial green is not fake. β
Master Cui couldn't help but tremble slightly, and said, "But I don't know which prince's jade pendant is carved with this slyph?" β
Sun Zhifu thought for a while and said: "I heard that the two sons of Prince Li, the seventh master and the ninth master, have carved an owl kiss and a fox on the jade pendant respectively, and this jade pendant is either the seventh master's or the ninth master's. β
In the ninth year of the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, there has been a change of emperors.
Emperor Xian was the founding emperor of Qin, and he was naturally wise and martial, and he had two brothers, namely Prince Li and Prince Yi.
These two princes followed the first emperor to fight in all directions, and they also made great contributions, especially Prince Li, who was good at fighting, familiar with military books, and extremely high in martial arts.
The first emperor reigned for two years and lingered on the sickbed, and died before the fourth son of the emperor, Qin Sheng, that is, the current emperor Qin Yingwang, when King Qin Ying was only thirteen years old, he ordered Prince Li and Prince Yi to assist him.
Now that the emperor has been in power, the rights of Prince Keli and Prince Yi in the court can also be tilted towards the government and the opposition, among them, Prince Li has two sons-in-law, both of whom are from Prince Li's princess.
These two masters are ranked seventh and ninth in the clan. The seventh master is the eldest son, so he naturally invited the prince of Li, and the second son, the ninth master, Qin Yu, was named the king of Yanguang, and I heard that he was quite loved by the prince of Li.
"But how could this jade pendant be on that Zhuang's sister-in-law?" Master Cui couldn't help but say.
Sun Zhifu raised his eyebrows and said, "You ask the master, who should the master ask?" Don't go and check it out, whether it's the seventh master or the ninth master, even if your master has ten heads, he can't afford to offend him! Don't go yet! β
Master Cui was so busy hearing this that he almost ran out with a roll.
After a while, Master Cui came back with sweat and said: "Master, I have inquired, it turns out that this Zhuang family is not an outsider, but the daughter-in-law of the former prince and master of the Gu family, that is, the princess who married to the Gu family in the previous dynasty, and her sister-in-law is the only daughter of the Gu family. β
Although Gu Qingwan's family was once brilliant, but now they have become a cloud of smoke, and when their family came to Luojing, it was naturally impossible to alarm Governor Cui's mansion.
Even in the purple night building, I only knew that the Gu family was a family member of the guilty eunuch, but I didn't know that it was the family of the former prince and master.
Governor Sun couldn't help but slap the table fiercely, and said angrily: "This Wang Cuicui is stupid!" How easy it is to find a substitute for the dead ghost, how can it lead to this lawsuit. This Gu family is down, but it was once a first-class powerful family, as the saying goes, there are three catties of nails in a broken boat, this Gu family's sister-in-law once had a friendship with the seventh master or the ninth master, and now she is in the people, and the seventh or ninth master gives jade pendants to protect each other. β
Master Cui also nodded, acknowledging Governor Sun's words, and said busily: "How is it good now?" I don't know what the ninth or seventh master's attitude is towards this Gu family's sister-in-law, the adult's case is here, but the net is almost closed. β
Sun Zhifu was a little irritable, and when he heard that a teacup smashed on the ground, he said, "Collect the net?" How do you close the net now? A good end and a good thing have made the two sisters-in-law mix. You are also confused, how precious this jade pendant is, if you don't value it, how can you give it away!? That Mingyue Tower is a daily gold, and it is not as important as the net worth of this master! β
"That's what the lord said." Master Cui bowed down.
Governor Sun kneaded his forehead, waved his hand a little weakly, and said, "You go and arrange it." β
After a stick of incense, the court became solemn again, Sun Zhifu walked up to the hall with official steps, sat down and patted the hall in shock, but said: "The official has got a new clue, Master Cui, bring someone to the court." β
Master Cui promised, and in the blink of an eye, there was a girl with a bun and a water-red skirt into the court, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "My lord, the cheap maid is the rough maid Qiu'er of the Purple Night Building, when the slave maid poured the water day and night before, I met the maid of the purple begonia Xiaohong sneakily out of the building, because it was the fourth watch at the time, the slave was suspicious, so she followed behind, and saw Xiaohong and Mingyue Lou's Cui'er talking in the leaky alley, and then Cui'er also stuffed Xiaohong with a bag of things. β
After she finished speaking, Xiaohong, who was kneeling on the side, was stunned and was about to speak, but was pinched by Yingniang's thigh.
Xiaohong is the maid in the green building, and the methods of the Ying lady are even afraid of the girls in the building, let alone her?
The Ying Lady has accumulated power all year round, and Xiaohong suddenly fell silent.
I heard that Qiu'er continued: "Mingyue Tower and Ziyelou have always been at odds, Xiaohong is the maid of Ziyelou, but she secretly saw the maid next to Rong Niangzi, and the slave maid felt that something was wrong, but people spoke lightly, so no one told him, and he secretly paid attention to Xiaohong. Yesterday, when the Zhuang lady put on the purple begonia makeup, the slave maid used the excuse to send water, and listened to the corner outside the door for a while, not wanting the slave maid to see it, and saw Xiaohong taking advantage of people's inattention to drip something into the rouge cream. β
Hearing this, Master Sun said in a deep voice, "Oh? So how not to say it before? β
Qiu'er kowtowed and said: "My lord Mingjian, the slave maid as a rough maid, dare not offend the personal maid Xiaohong next to the popular girl, so she didn't dare to report Xiaohong at first, but the slave maid was really uneasy in her heart, Zi Haitang is very kind, the slave maid did something wrong before, and also interceded for the slave maid, the slave and maid thought about it, and felt that the purple begonia girl could not be wronged and died, so she went to court to testify. β
Governor Sun nodded, and immediately instructed the servants, "Go and search the residence of Xiaohong, the maidservant of the Purple Night Tower." β
Xiaohongyan saw the servant go out, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was going to be unlucky, and he couldn't care about the Ying Niangzi's obstruction, kowtowed, and said, "Wronged, the slave and maid don't have ...... The slave didn't murder the girl! β
Governor Sun didn't listen at all, slapped the shocked wood, and said: "Plug her mouth, lest she bite her tongue in fear of sin!" β
Soon the official returned, and sure enough, a bag of broken silver and a porcelain bottle filled with poison were found at Xiaohong's residence, and Sun Zhifu had Xiaohong tortured on the spot.
That Xiaohong is just a child in his early tens, timid and frail, and he can't stand it after a few boards, so he confesses whatever he wants. only said that he was jealous of Zi Haitang's beauty on weekdays, and was unwilling to be enslaved by it, Zi Haitang also beat and scolded her when she was in a bad mood, so she held a grudge, and was instructed by Mingyue Lou to poison the rouge, and planned to let Zhuang be a substitute for the dead.
For a while, the case was finally solved under the iron fist of Governor Sun, and the audience even felt that it was justified, and it was indeed more logical for Xiaohong to attack Zihaitang than Zhuang's.
Governor Sun coughed twice and announced first: "Since the Zhuang family has nothing to do with this case, but has been wronged, let it be released on the spot, and you can leave." β
This good show evolved too fast, Zhuang Yuexian couldn't react a little, and was pulled by Gu Qingwan, so she silently blessed her body, and was helped by Gu Qingwan to walk out of the lobby.
I don't want the two of them to just take a step, the kneeling old bustard lady of Mingyuelou actually knelt forward, hugged Gu Qingwan's legs, and cried: "Miss Gu, I was a slave before, and I didn't know Taishan, and I offended the girl. β
Although Rong Niangzi doesn't know Gu Qingwan's origin, she didn't harm anyone, Sun Zhifu is now in collusion with Ziyelou to encroach on Mingyue Tower, she is humble and incompetent, but she can also see that Sun Zhifu is swayed by what Gu Qingwan presents, so she hurriedly picked up Gu Qingwan's aunt and sister-in-law.
She was desperate at the moment, so she naturally begged Gu Qingwan.
Gu Qingwan has always been arrogant, when is he willing to suffer a loss, it will be good if he doesn't repay him, but he is by no means a virgin who repays grievances with virtue, where is he willing to take care of this lady?
She didn't forget, if it weren't for the forced lady, the owner would not have scratched his face, and if the owner didn't scratch his face, he would not have died of a high fever, let alone his own arrival.
In this way, Rong Niangzi is her number one enemy, and now Mingyue Tower and Ziye Lou are dog eats dogs, Gu Qingwan is not interested in stopping her, she calmly pulled out the corner of her skirt from Rong Niangzi's hands, and helped Zhuang Yuexian out of the yamen lobby.
