Chapter 173: Settled
Zhan Hao faced Jiang Yuanniang's accusation, she looked calm from beginning to end, and after she finished speaking, she only said a word to Shuntian Fu Yin in a light tone: "Lord Fu Yin, Jiang Yuanniang was not imprisoned by me, but eloped with someone, and I have someone to testify to this." ”
Zhan Hao's words made Jiang Yuanniang's heart startled, and her face turned a little pale——— witness?
How could Zhan Hao have a witness?
Who is the person who testified on behalf of Zhan Hao?
No! No way!
The cousin who eloped with her has long since died, and the people who knew about her elopement with her cousin are almost dead, and even the person who mentioned her to return to the Rui Wangfu to continue to be the princess, and even the neighbors where she settled after eloping were all solved by an accidental fire!
It is precisely because all the insiders have been solved that she dares to return to the palace with confidence, delusionally wanting to re-encircle Zhanhao and become the noble princess of King Rui again.
Zhan Hao must be lying!
There is no way anyone can prove that she ever eloped with her cousin!
Jiang Yuanniang was a little weak-hearted, although she repeatedly comforted herself that Zhan Hao would definitely not be able to find a witness, but she still couldn't hold back the preemptive: "He lied!" He can't have a witness! Even if there is, he is looking for someone to fake it! ”
"Presumptuous! Above the court, how can there be any noise? Shuntianfu Yin slapped the shocked wood and scolded loudly.
Jiang Yuanniang was so frightened that she shrank back and didn't dare to shout loudly, so she could only watch Shuntianfu Yin respectfully Chong Zhanhao's head, and slowly said: "Bring a witness!" ”
Jiang Yuanniang's eyes anxiously followed the official who ran out, and when she saw the person brought in by the officer, she had been following her. Serve her maid magpie with all her heart...... No! That's impossible!
Even just now, the magpie was still by her side to comfort her. Run before and after for her, dredge up the relationship.
As soon as the magpie was brought to the court, it was not necessary to be interrogated by Yin Tianfu. He knelt down with a "plop", and made a full move: "Two years ago, Jiang Yuanniang and Gu Ning, the young master of the Jiang family, eloped at night, and the slave and maid followed them all the way, and then settled in Jianggu Town with the two of them, and lived in a private house in Linjiang......"
How did the magpie plan and arrange Jiang Yuanniang, how to carry out the plan later, how to come out of the Rui Wang's Mansion to meet Gu Ning first, and how the two hid their whereabouts. Leaving the capital one after another, where did they finally meet, then eloped together, and where did they settle down to live together, 1510, everything was recruited.
Jiang Yuanniang didn't kneel on the ground until the magpie finished speaking, still looking incredulous——— how could the magpie betray her?!
Magpie is the daughter of her nurse, who grew up with her since she was a child, and is her most trusted confidant who even eloped with her!
Back then, it was the magpie who sent a message to her and Gu Ning to express their heartfelt feelings. It was also the magpie who helped her cover her whereabouts, so that she could elope with Gu Ning, and even in the end, the man found her. wants to take her back to the Rui Palace, and continue to be the princess, and it is also the head of the magpie and the man...... A qiē and a qiē are inseparable from magpies!
She thought she was dying. Her honor and disgrace have long been tied to the magpie, who would have thought that the person who would end up stabbing her in the back. It turned out to be her most trusted magpie!
Jiang Yuanniang was full of flavors at this moment, and looked at the magpie's gaze with great anger. As if to devour her alive!
"Okay, you cheap bones inside and out! Don't forget that your deed of sale is still in my hands! ”
When the magpie heard this, he buried his head lower.
"My lord! There is no evidence, there is no evidence, this spews blood! Jiang Yuanniang relied on the fact that everyone except the magpie had been wiped out, and the magpie couldn't come up with evidence, so she gritted her teeth and argued, so she repeated the bite of the magpie.
What Zhan Hao was waiting for was Jiang Yuanniang's words.
Before Jiang Yuanniang's words fell, the magpie, who was originally humble, suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "My lord, the slave maid has a letter written by Jiang Yuanniang herself, which can prove that what the slave maid said is true!" ”
"Present the letter."
The pale yellow envelope that the magpie took out of his bosom was quickly presented by the servant.
Jiang Yuanniang was full of doubts at first, tilted her head and looked at the so-called evidence for a long time, before she suddenly remembered that it was indeed a letter written by her own hands......
It turned out that before Jiang Yuanniang and Gu Ning eloped, she begged her parents, begging them to make decisions for her, and came forward to ask Rui Wangfu to agree to her and Zhanhao's reconciliation, and return her a free body, so that she could marry a girl for the second time, but her parents refused with a stern face.
It was precisely because of her parents' rejection that Jiang Yuanniang decided to elope with Gu Ning in a fit of anger.
But she hated her parents and elders for deliberately marrying her to Zhanhao, a sick man, in order to get married to Rui Wangfu; Later, she hated her parents for being ruthless, and refused to help her return to Da Da, so she wrote a letter before eloping, in which she scolded her ruthless parents, saying that she would rather elope with Gu Ning and live a hard life incognito from then on, rather than being trapped by Zhan Hao, a sick man.
Jiang Yuanniang handed over this letter to the magpie and asked the magpie to send it to Jiang's house in person.
Before the magpie eloped with Jiang Yuanniang, she was indeed wholeheartedly thinking about her master, she didn't want her girl and her parents to be too stiff, so she took it upon herself to detain the letter, thinking that her girl would not tear her face with her family, so she could be regarded as leaving a back road for herself, after all, the future is uncertain, and many back roads are good after all.
Who would have thought that the letter left by the magpie for Jiang Yuanniang's sake has become ironclad evidence that Jiang Yuanniang and Gu Ning eloped today!
After Jiang Yuanniang recalled what was written on the letter, her face suddenly turned as white as paper: "Magpie, you and I grew up together, and I have always treated you well, even ...... And with you, why do you betray me? ”
After the magpie was taken into the lobby, he looked up at Jiang Yuanniang for the first time and asked, "Why?" Does the girl really not know why? ”
"But Zhan Hao forced you?"
Jiang Yuanniang saw that the magpie was finally willing to look at her, her eyes instantly ignited with hope, and she said to the magpie: "It was Zhanhao who forced you to frame me, right?" You have been practicing calligraphy with me since I was a child, and it is not difficult to copy my handwriting at all! This letter was forged by Zhan Hao, right? ”
"No, the prince didn't force the slave maid, it was the slave and the maid who voluntarily stood up and said a qiē," the magpie shook his head slowly, looked at Jiang Yuanniang with a disappointed expression, and finally said the knot that had been hidden in his heart: "The girl has always treated the slave and maid very well, and she takes the slave and maid with her wherever she goes, and the slave and maid also swear that she will work hard and serve the girl with all her heart, but the girl should not force the slave and the maid to separate from Ah Si, and dare not use that means to let the slave and maid be a room for the young master Gu Biao!" ”
"Ah Si is willing to give up his good errand in Jiang Mansion to find a slave for the sake of the slave and maid, girl, you shouldn't have deliberately given the slave and maid that kind of medicine in order to envelop the young master Gu Biao, let alone humiliate Ah Si with this matter and let Ah Si leave in shame...... If Ah Si hadn't gone to get drunk out of shame, he wouldn't have had a quarrel with someone and would have been beaten to death by life! ”
It turned out that as soon as Zhan Hao learned that Jiang Yuanniang had returned, and was blatantly jumping around in the Rui Wang's Mansion, he sent someone to find out Jiang Yuanniang's experience in the past two years, including Gu Ning's later dislike of Jiang Yuanniang, the magpie was forced to bend to Gu Ning, and the death of the magpie's fiancé A Si.
As soon as Zhanhao's talent came into contact with the magpie, the magpie took the initiative to inform the other party, saying that she had Jiang Yuanniang's handle in her hand, which was enough to prove that Jiang Yuanniang left Zhanhao and eloped with Gu Ning without abiding by women's morals.
The magpie has always been loyal to Jiang Yuanniang, even if Jiang Yuanniang has a loss of virtue and elopement, she still serves Jiang Yuanniang loyally and dutifully, and has been planning for Jiang Yuanniang everywhere for several years.
But Jiang Yuanniang had already promised her and Ah Si to have a relationship, in order to entrap Gu Ning, she actually gave her an aphrodisiac/medicine, making her Gu Ning's person, and indirectly killing Ah Si, who came to find her thousands of miles away.
The magpie watched the innocent bamboo horse die, how could it not hate?
It was Jiang Yuanniang who personally destroyed the magpie's loyalty to her, and it was Jiang Yuanniang who personally pushed herself to today's situation——— the law of this dynasty clearly stipulates that if the wife of the Ming media is married has an affair with someone and elopes, the evidence is conclusive and the stolen goods are obtained, and the husband's family does not need to issue a letter of divorce, the woman will automatically lose her qualification as a wife, and she will be punished with a rod for thirty according to the law, ride a wooden horse to the city, and can only be a concubine forever.
With the magpie as a witness, as well as the letter written by Jiang Yuanniang herself, the outcome of this case is naturally without suspense——— Jiang Yuanniang lost the lawsuit, and was punished with a cane for thirty in public, riding a wooden horse to tour the city.
And from the moment Jiang Yuanniang eloped with Gu Ning, she was stripped of her status as the princess of King Rui, and she could only be a concubine forever.
Jiang Yuanniang only had one breath left after being executed, and the people of Shuntianfu carried her directly to Jiang's house.
The Jiang family has already learned about this public case, how can they still have the face to let Jiang Yuanniang enter the gate of the Jiang family?
The Jiang family did not let Jiang Yuanniang enter the door, but directly sent her to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city to settle, and a few days later, the Jiang family spread the news that Jiang Yuanniang died violently overnight...... Of course, that's all for later.
And after solving Jiang Yuanniang, it will naturally be Concubine Xiao's turn next.
Concubine Xiao was detained by Zhan Hao in the mirror circle from beginning to end, and after being anxious for most of the day, she was finally brought to Sun Miaoxi and Zhan Hao.
She didn't know that Jiang Yuanniang had been defeated, and she thought that she was well disguised, as soon as she saw Sun Miaoxi, she stepped forward and grabbed Sun Miaoxi's sleeve, blinked her big black and white eyes, and asked timidly: "Sister Shizi, but something happened?" Gillian is so scared! ”
Sun Miaoxi slowly pulled her sleeve out of Concubine Xiao's hand, and asked unhurriedly, "Do you want to kneel down yourself, or do you want someone to kneel for you?" ”
Concubine Xiao is a person who can bend and stretch, as soon as she heard this, she immediately knelt neatly in front of Sun Miaoxi, but her face was full of tears, and her inadvertent gaze at Zhanhao was even more pitiful: "Sister Shizi, but Gillian made a mistake?" Gillian is stupid, if she makes a mistake inadvertently and offends the princess's sister, Gillian will be beaten and punished. ”
Sun Miaoxi almost clapped her hands when she heard this!
Look, as soon as he came up, he showed weakness without saying a word, simply knelt down neatly to admit his mistakes, and sincerely let him be beaten and punished...... If it wasn't Zhan Hao sitting in front of Xiao Shi, but other men, I'm afraid that I would have been moved by her generous and reasonable, but also pitiful and delicate appearance, right?
PS: Even if there are always emergencies of one kind or another, I will definitely fill in the holes and do it from the beginning to the end. (To be continued......)
