355 I Know What You've Done (26 Hanging Curtain Testifying)
Fu Shaoqing stood there in a daze, how could Nima answer this.
He quickly looked at Sun Zhengqing, who turned his face to the side, concentrating on a web-forming spider on the pillar.
"Lord Shaoqing, the next interrogation can only be handed over to you, my lord."
Liansheng stood up and made a gesture of invitation to him.
Fu Shaoqing was stunned: "What do you mean by Gu Ti's punishment?" ”
"This case was originally the responsibility of the lower officials, but now because of Fu Shaoqing, the lower officials can no longer hear it, so it is naturally tried by Lord Shaoqing."
"Why can't you be tried?" Fu Shaoqing's shocked brain was a little short-circuited.
"The matter involves the wife of Shangshu Mansion, the lower officials must avoid suspicion, naturally the capable work harder, at the insistence of Lord Shaoqing, Xiao Zihui's witnesses were finally dug up, and this matter of finding witness testimony is naturally none other than Lord Shaoqing."
Liansheng smiled and made it clear, when she said that it was Fu Shaoqing who dug up Xiao Zihui's witness, Fu Shaoqing's face was like earth, Liansheng enjoyed this change in face very much, Fu Shaoqing, a slut, will make you embarrassed.
Fu Shaoqing looked at Sun Zhengqing for help again.
"Since the witness was dug up by Master Fu, it is very appropriate for Lord Fu to continue to try this case."
Sun Zhengqing replied with a straight face, he didn't want to wade into this troubled water, Fu Shaoqing took care of the matter himself, and he had to make trouble while crying.
There were so many people in the hall watching, and there was also the prince staring at him fiercely, Fu Shaoqing stood there in a dilemma. Lian Sheng had already stepped down from his seat directly, came to Fu Shaoqing and made a gesture of please.
Catch the ducks on the shelves, ah, this is. Yu Shizhao snorted low on the side, and Fu Shaoqing had no choice but to walk up to the seat in the main hall. slapped the startled wood, but was dumbfounded and didn't know what to ask.
Yu Shizhao coughed dryly on the side and pointed at Xiao Zihui.
"Uh, Xiao Zihui, you have witnesses, right?"
Fu Shaoqing could only continue to interrogate Xiao Zihui.
"Yes, I have a witness, and the witness is Gu Shangshu's wife Chen, but in this situation, she will definitely not admit to going to Mandarin Duck Tower with me for a private meeting."
Xiao Zihui shook his head again and again: "Alas, it's all my fault." But don't ask Chen. If she comes, she will definitely not admit it. ”
"This ......" This is to kick the ball to Fu Shaoqing again, he looked at Xiao Zihui, and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Lord Shaoqing, do you still want to summon witnesses? Otherwise, how can it be determined that Xiao Zihui did not kill people at that time? ”
Liansheng hinted on the side. She laughed secretly in her heart, this is called attacking the shield of the other with the spear of the other?. Look at how you Fu Shaoqing pick up the stubble.
"This. Xiao Zihui could not have killed anyone. The murderer must have been his son Xiao Shu. ”
"My lord, it's better to ask clearly, you can't take care of the lower official's face perfunctory just because he was born in Shangshu Mansion."
Liansheng said on the side.
"This ......" Fu Shaoqing was completely roasted on the fire. Sitting there moving left and right, not knowing what to do.
Liansheng continued to add to the fire: "You can't bend the law just because you are the relatives of the officials of Dali Temple." ”
According to the old practice, if it is necessary for the relatives of dignitaries to testify, the officials of Dali Temple can send people to the witness's house for individual questioning to avoid showing up.
But how could Liansheng let go of such an opportunity to disgrace the Chen family, and repeatedly showed his fairness and integrity.
Fu Shaoqing never dreamed that he wanted to make things difficult for Xiao Zihui, but he was made difficult, and suddenly thought of this, yes, send someone to Shangshu Mansion to ask.
It's a pity that sending someone to inquire like this will completely offend Gu Shangshu, Fu Shaoqing can't care about it at this time, so he can only give an order "You ......" He pointed at Qingguo: "You are Gu Ti's scholar, so I will send you to Shangshu Mansion to ask Chen about the truth of this matter." ”
Fu Shaoqing chose Qingguo to ask, but he didn't have a good heart, which was equivalent to pulling Liansheng into the whirlpool.
Of course, Liansheng would not be fooled, and said with a smile: "Although he is young, he is also a man, how can he go to the inner courtyard of Shangshu Mansion to ask Madame." It's not appropriate. ”
"What about the Punishment?"
"Hehe, this is a big deal, the murder of officials, the murderer is still noble, and it involves the son to avenge his father, this kind of big thing, it's not appropriate to ask anyone to ask witnesses."
Fu Shaoqing was forced into a corner, how can this be good?
Yu Shizhao spoke: "Since it is an official family, it is inconvenient to ask, then set up a gauze tent in this lobby to chase the bamboo curtain or something, and the witness sits behind the gauze tent to testify, this is called a curtain to testify, won't this solve the problem?" ”
This is a good idea, Liansheng quietly gave Yu Shizhao a thumbs up.
Fu Shaoqing had nowhere to ask for help, so he had to send someone to Shangshu Mansion to summon witnesses, and ordered someone to hang a curtain in the lobby.
When Xiao Zihui heard the rumor of the Chen family, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Liansheng, and saw Liansheng waving at him, meaning to be a little calm.
The official messenger came to Shangshu Mansion and went directly to the gatehouse: "Dali Temple summoned Mrs. Chen to testify." ”
Our lady is invited to testify? This can't be.
The porter didn't want to deal with it at all. The official cha looked, you are just a subordinate of Shangshu Mansion, and you dare to treat me with this attitude, I am always an official who is not in the grade. Immediately got angry and said: "Lang Lang Qiankun, our Dali Temple summoned witnesses, and Shangshu Mansion dared to stop it?" This is really the only (poisonous) part of the scorpion. ”
"How can you speak, how can our wife testify. Go, go, go. ”
The porter glared and drove people out.
Just when Gu Lianyong came out, he saw what was going on, the porter and an official were tearing up. Gu Lianyong was in a bad mood, so he stepped forward and asked, "What is this for?" This is Shangshu Mansion, what are you making trouble about? ”
"I am an official of Dali Temple, and I came to your mansion to summon my wife Chen to testify in Dali Temple."
"Recruit my mother to testify? Nonsense, my mother is a first-class lady enshrined by the imperial court, who dares to summon her? Gu Lianyong was furious.
"This is approved by His Royal Highness the King of England, Mrs. Shangshu is a first-class lady, and the prince of England is still a super prince."
That official has a bad mouth, and he won't let him go at all. Besides, it has been spread all over the capital these days, and you Gu Dagongzi may not know what his surname is, what is there to do.
"The official of Dali Temple?" Gu Lianyong looked at this official with a look of contempt for himself, and he was angry, and he slapped him over: "Noisy and shouting in front of our Shangshu Mansion, I think you are deliberately looking for trouble." "He is now angry when he hears the mention of Dali Temple.
"I was ordered to summon witnesses, Gu Gongzi, you are just a white-clothed person, not even a lifter, I'm afraid that you are not as good as me, why are you beating me?" The official covered his face.
"It's you who doesn't have long eyes."
Gu Lianyong has words.
"Heh, this is really lively, what's the matter, a white body and a little white face hit the official of Dali Temple? This is really a crime, little ones, arrest him for me. The leader waved his hand, and the others pounced on Gu Lianyong like wolves, and before he could react, he had already pressed him to the ground and tied him into a zongzi.
"Beating and insulting officials, this is the tutor of Shangshu Mansion?" The leader of the brocade guards stepped forward and kicked him, and continued to tease.
Where has Gu Lianyong been treated like this, the bones on the ground are twisted and painful, and then he was dragged up with a rope, and he heard the little leader say: "See, this is a summons from Dali Temple, whoever dares to stop it will follow this standard."
Gu Lianyong was tied up here, and someone had already been sent to pick up the Chen family over there, and it happened that Gu Shangshu was not at home today, so the Jinyi Wei Chang drove straight in, and soon took Mrs. Chen to get into a carriage surrounded by the maid and mother-in-law. grabbed Gu Lianyong's brocade guard, directly put him on the horse, ignoring his angry scolding. Bumpy all the way to Dali Temple.
Soon, the people of Dali Temple saw a lady follow the errand official to sit behind the bamboo curtain, and another team of brocade guards came in and directly threw a meat dumpling on the ground, and said to Yu Shizhao, "Mrs. Chen has been brought, and at the same time, this person tried to beat the court official and was also tied up by us." ”
"Young Master Gu also came as a witness?" Lian Sheng pretended to be anxious and raised his hand to object: "I object, this person's bloodline is vague, I'm afraid I can't come forward to testify against Xiao Zihui." ”
The bloodline is blurred! This point was instantly told by everyone in the hall, and there was a lot of discussion.
Liansheng wants this effect, anyway, my words are vague, let the saliva of the onlookers drown you. (To be continued......)
