The court of the imperial court is different from the court of the county government or the government office, and you can watch at will.

Chu Feiyan didn't know what was going on inside, but a woman who looked very similar to Jian Ying and Jian Lan and called herself "Jian Lan" and a businessman from Xuzhou were brought into the court one after another, and he realized that things had developed in a direction he couldn't predict.

At this time, looking at Jian Lan, who was panicked and helpless, she couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in her heart.

He was well aware that his testimony was crucial. His fluttering words can make the woman kneeling in front of him fall into the abyss of no return.

If you want to say that she is wrong, she is actually not wrong.

Anyone who changes from a high-ranking concubine to a lowly concubine will be unwilling. What's more, she is only seventeen years old this year, and it is understandable that she can't let go of her obsession with the past.

To say that she is not wrong, she is very wrong.

Born in a famous family, he wants to be protected by the family, but he also doesn't want to sacrifice for the family. Obviously, she willfully did such a thing as running away from marriage to trap the family in injustice first, and in turn blamed the Jian family for being unkind to her.

He didn't know how others guessed today's cases, he guessed it from the beginning, and it must have been Xiao Liu'er who instigated Du Jinkao and Mingmei to stop and file a complaint.

Is it so easy to tell? Once the matter of sesame seeds is presented to the front of the emperor, it will also become a big problem under the open and secret influence of people with hearts.

Before he officially entered the court, he already had an understanding of the depth of the water in the officialdom. Really get involved in it, between the monarchs and the ministers. I don't know how many intricate things still exist between colleagues, between the government and the people, and between the general interests of the state and personal interests.

She was bent on regaining her status as a concubine, only seeing the benefits of the place in front of her, but she didn't realize that her move would put her eldest uncle in the court under the sword of others. didn't even consider that if Master Jian fell because of this, how many people would be unlucky to the left and right and behind him.

is so selfish and short-sighted, she really can't afford to be the daughter of the Jian family.

In fact, what kind of face does he have to criticize and accuse Jian Lan? Things have come to this point, and he is also one of the accomplices who contributed to the trouble.

If it was when Xiao Liu'er showed his heart to him. He could have refused more decisively. If her thoughts were completely broken, she might not have run away from marriage; Then when he finds out that Xiao Liu'er has been replaced, he will not feel guilty and will not go to her to make up for it;

Although until this moment he did not regret going to her. But if you find her by the time. He's able to think a little more thoughtfully, a little bit longer. will not be blinded by her pity and despair, and will be swayed by her, and do those ridiculous things;

If he insisted on sending her back to Jane's house. persuaded her to admit her mistakes with the elders of the Jian family and beg for forgiveness, and today's result may be completely different, then she may not suffer from gains and losses, and she will do everything she can to make things as big as today......

But it didn't help to reflect now, the only thing he could do was to do what he could to keep the already bad situation from getting worse.

In fact, before he went to the court, Yufu had already vaguely reminded him that the saint wanted to protect Master Jian.

The saint is not afraid of muddy water, so why should he pretend to be high, and distinguish between black and white so clearly?

Moreover, he promised that Jian Ying would be on her side, how could a manly husband break his word and gain weight?

After doing a good job of psychological construction, he hardened his heart, pulled the hem of his robe out of her hand, and bypassed her to come forward to salute.

Xiao Zhengqian raised his hand, signaled him to be flat, and asked straight to the point: "Chu Feiyan, Miao Jian's family said that she was the daughter of the Jian family, and she was abducted into Wanchun Tower in Xuzhou on the way to escape marriage, it was you who found her and ransomed her body, and placed her in Baiyun Nunnery at the foot of Mount Tai.

I ask you, is all this true? ”

Chu Feiyan pursed the corners of his lips, trying to ignore the eager gaze that fell behind him, "Hui Sheng, there is no such thing. ”

Jian Lan's full expectation was swept away by these seven words, and her eyes widened in disbelief, "Cousin, what nonsense are you talking about?" You're ......"

"Miao Jian's." Governor Fang patted Xiao Zhengqian's "shocking wood" for him, "The saint didn't ask you, you are not allowed to interject at will." If you shout again, you will be punished for the sin of roaring in court. ”

Jian Lan turned a deaf ear to him, took two steps forward, pointed at Chu Feiyan and hurriedly accused, "Holy Lord, he lied, obviously he spent three thousand taels of silver to redeem me from Wanchun Tower, and he also brought me back to Shandong and placed me in Baiyun Nunnery.

Holy Lord, please send someone to Wanchun Tower and Baiyun Nunnery immediately, and go to the people there to verify, and everything will be clear. ”

"Holy Lord, can you ask Wei Chen a question?" Chu Feiyan bowed down and asked for instructions.

Xiao Zhengqian nodded, "Accurate." ”

Chu Feiyan thanked him, and then asked Jian Lan, "You said that I ransomed myself for you from Wanchun Tower, when did that happen?" ”

"The beginning of winter the year before last." Jian Lan glared at him angrily, "Don't say you forgot. ”

Chu Feiyan didn't argue with her, and turned to Xiao Zhengqian, "Shengshang, on the way back to his hometown at the beginning of the winter of the previous year, Weichen did stop in Xuzhou City, but Weichen didn't go to Wanchun Tower......"

This is the truth, he has always been clean and self-loving, and he plans to enter the court as an official, to ensure that the wind is good, of course he will not drill into the Qinglou.

“…… Weichen didn't even know that there was such a place as 'Wanchun Tower' in Xuzhou City, let alone why he went there to redeem himself. ”

This is also the truth, it was Uncle Huai who heard that Xiao Liu'er was in Wanchun Building, and it was Uncle Huai who went to negotiate and redeem Xiao Liu'er, and he was only responsible for the money.

"Chu Feiyan." Jian Lan was so angry that she didn't even call her "cousin", and called him by his name and reprimanded, "In vain, you are still the champion of the new department, the pillar of the country, in front of the saint, you actually believe in your words, reversing right and wrong, you are blatantly bullying the king......"

"Holy." Chu Feiyan raised his voice and overshadowed her shouting, "Because of the relationship between my cousin and aunt, Weichen should indeed call this 'cousin'."

When Cousin Lan was recognized by the Jian family, Weichen had already returned to his hometown to prepare for the exam. I have only heard about her, and I have never met her. To be precise, Fang Cai is the first time to meet......"

"You are talking nonsense, you and I are childhood sweethearts, and we are cousins and sisters who are connected by blood. We often met when we were young, and you also said that you were going to marry me, how could we not meet?

The surname is Chu, why do you tell lies with a clear conscience? Did that slut buy you? Or did she pour you some ecstasy soup to make you think of her as a real cousin?

Ah, right. Did she betray the lust seduced ~ led you. Let you help her commit perjury? ”

Chu Feiyan listened to Jian Lan's more and more vulgar words, and the last trace of guilt in his heart disappeared, and he said out loud what he hadn't finished before, "...... Although I don't know why she got involved with Wanchun Tower in Xuzhou. I don't know why Wechen was involved. But Weichen really has never been to Wanchun Tower. Please also ask the Holy One to make a clear judgment. ”

"What kind of gentleman are you? Bully me a weak woman, and you will be damned. You will have retribution. Holy one, he is lying, he has committed the great sin of deceit, please quickly cure his sin......"

Jian Lan had completely lost her mind, and her high-pitched and sharp voice slashed through her eardrums like a blade, causing everyone in the hall to frown.

Where is this like everyone's girlfriends, she is clearly a madman!

Seeing that Jian Lan's eyes were about to split, her face was hideous, and she looked like she was going to rush up desperately, lest she hurt Xiao Zhengqian, so he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, pull her down." ”

Yufu glanced at Xiao Zhengqian, saw him nodding, and hurriedly called two guards to drag Jian Lan, who was still screaming to himself, "The Holy Lord will cure his sins", down the hall.

Seeing her figure disappear outside the door, Fang Zhifu quietly sighed. If the Holy One has three long and two short on his territory, his head will be confiscated.

After settling down, he waved his hand at Xiao Zhengqian and said, "Holy Lord, that Miao Jian's mood is unstable and incoherent, and there will be no result if the trial continues." If not, the court will be temporarily withdrawn and the retrial will be adjourned. ”

"Holy not." Wang Yushi immediately objected, "These three cases are closely related, and the facts of the cases are very strange. From the trial at three o'clock to the present, I have just figured out a clue, and I should strike while the iron is hot and find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

If the retrial is postponed, it is inevitable that there will be situations that are unfavorable to the trial of the case, such as witnesses retracting their confessions. Moreover, the Shengshangdang Street accepted the petition, and presumably the people gathered outside the palace gate at this time, waiting for the news of the royal trial.

If we do not judge the results within this day, I am afraid that it will damage the majesty of the Holy God in the hearts of the people. ”

Governor Fang secretly rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that this Wang Yushi was specially here to contradict him, right? Even if the people throw a chicken and sue the government, there are also four steps: receiving the complaint, visiting, court trial, and finalizing the case.

How can it be so easy to find out who is behind the scenes? The one who can do these things to design Master Jian will definitely not be an ordinary character, and even if he can find out, it will not be the main one, at most he will be a scapegoat.

At that time, the saint patted his ass and left after the sacrifice, leaving a pile of messes, who will clean up the mess? Are you Wang Yushi here to clean up? It must be him, the head of Jinan Mansion, who is here to clean it up. This clean-up is either offended by Master Jian, or offended the person behind the scenes, and even the friendship between the Ji'an Palaces and the Ji'an Mansion could not be saved.

That's why he proposed to postpone the retrial to buy some time for all parties to clean up the aftermath, so that these cases could be settled beautifully and harmoniously without harming the interests of either party. Leave room for others, and also leave a way for himself to live.

Wang Yushi, your eldest mother, can you die if you don't show off your uprightness this time?

Xiao Zhengqian saw the expression of Fang Zhifu secretly grinding his teeth in his eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly shouted, "Fang Hongsheng." ”

"Huh? Wechen is in. Governor Fang hurriedly replied.

"Although these three cases are the cases that I have taken over, they are all under your jurisdiction, and the Jian family, the Ji'an Palace, and the Taiyuan Marquis Mansion that are involved are also familiar with you. I will appoint you as the investigator of the case, and I will limit you to thoroughly investigate the circumstances of the case within today, and give an explanation to the above three families and the people of Jinan Prefecture. ”

said with a meaningful smile, "Fang Aiqing, you represent me, don't let me down!" ”

Governor Fang comprehended, hurriedly got up and turned to the front of the hall, knelt down and said, "The Weichen will live up to the trust and trust of the saint." ”

"Okay." Xiao Zhengqian saw that he was very transparent, and became more and more relieved, and immediately instructed Yude, "Spread my will, and transfer all the pleadings, court trial records, plaintiffs, defendants, witnesses, and unlicensed cases of these three cases to the prefect's yamen, and Fang Hongsheng will be promoted to the court to preside over the trial."

In the palace, Wang Yuan, the servant of the imperial history, and the inquisitor of the Zhizhi Wei Wunian are the inquisitors, and everyone related to the three cases must be accompanied by the transmission, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Wang Yushi and the intellectual, named Wei Wunian, both received the order, and Yude also agreed and went out to announce the decree.

The emperor and queen got off and everyone sent them off.

Jian Ying, as the defendant, wanted to go to the government office.

Old Madam Jian was not good at openly contacting her, so she sent her henchman Jade Flute to go with the sedan chair. On the pretext of visiting his daughter-in-law, he returned to Jane's house with the Yan family. In order to calm down today's events, we have to make some thorough arrangements.

In Fang's opinion, there is no suspense in these three cases, and he is not curious about how they will develop in the future. There is still a mess of things waiting for her to in the house, and she can't rest assured that King Ji'an is there, so she is out of the Yuancheng Pavilion and busy with her feet on the ground.

Everyone left in a swarm, leaving only Chu Feiyan standing in the hall for a long time, and then rushed out of the door, leaning on the pillars under the corridor and bending over to vomit.

Kang Huai saw him hurriedly running over, and while patting him on the back, he asked with concern, "Lord Chu, are you okay?" But stomach upset? Would you like to ask a doctor to come and see you? ”

Chu Feiyan waved his hand, spit out the last mouthful of sour water, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said lightly: "Thank you father-in-law, I'm fine, I don't have to work as a doctor." ”

He's not sick, he's just sick to himself.

found so many high-sounding reasons, to put it bluntly, it was just that he was selfish.

If he confirmed Jian Lan's statement in court, he would inevitably be charged with "not reporting the knowledge" and "deception and cover-up". Ten years of hard work, in exchange for the title of the gold list, he did not dare to take this risk, he was afraid of seeing his family and Mr. Tan who had high hopes for him show disappointed expressions, and he was even more afraid that he would be depressed from now on, and he would not be able to display his ambitions.

He once pinpointed the disadvantages of the times, couldn't get used to many things in this world, and was determined to be a good official who was honest, honest and reliable, and benefited the people. But when he finally got his wish and embarked on his official career, he had become a person who could lie without changing his color or beating in front of the holy car.

The most terrible thing is that although he feels disgusting like this, he does not regret that he has committed perjury in court.

Kang Huai looked at his pale face, suspecting that he was being reckless, "Master Chu, are you really okay?" ”

"It's fine." Chu Feiyan bit these two words heavily, as if to convince himself, "I will definitely be fine." ”

"It's okay." Kang Huai let out a sigh, "Then you should hurry up and go with our family, there is a decree from the saint, ordering you to go to the 'Filial Piety Hall' to meet the driver quickly!" ”
