Chapter 296: Triage
Yu Shu originally thought that it was inconvenient for Jingchen to come out of the palace, so he came to his people for several days in a row, who thought that it was not inconvenient for him to come out, but that he didn't have time to see her.
"Why is Miss Shuiyun so sick?" Yu Shu asked Jingchen as usual, very curious about what the disease was, which was more serious than her broken finger.
Jingchen didn't notice Yu Shu's unhappiness, and said: "The day before yesterday, Chongyun took us to the capital, and Shui Yun was happy for a while and played until the night, but he got caught the wind and cold, and he had a fever when he went back that night, and he only got better yesterday."
Yu Shu let out an "oh", and did not show concern for the little junior sister's body, but asked Jingchen with a smile: "Why did you come out to play the day before yesterday, why didn't you call me?"
Jingchen was stunned and said strangely: "Didn't you say that you can't come if you have something?"
Hearing this, Yu Shu frowned, "When did I say this, why don't I remember, did you come to me the day before yesterday?"
Jingchen nodded and said: "That day, Chongyun and I went out of the palace and went to his annex to pick up my junior sister, and I was going to He Langzhong's house to find you, they felt that it was too troublesome to run back and forth between the south and north of the city, so Chongyun sent someone to invite you, but you said that you couldn't come because of something."
"Ha," Yu Shu smirked, secretly saying that this is interesting, she has been staying at home for the past few days, except for Guiliu and Lao Cui to deliver letters, no one else has come to find her to go out, but someone has learned her words to Jingchen, there must be something wrong with this.
Yu Shu's attitude made Jing Chen feel that something was wrong, and asked her suspiciously: "Why didn't you say that you had something?"
Yu Shu smiled, and didn't intend to expose it: "That's right, I remembered it as soon as you said that, I did have something to do the day before yesterday."
This is not interesting to say, at most Jingchen asked Liu Tan again, but it was just one more explanation, if the errand runner was lazy and didn't go to her, if Liu Tan deliberately didn't send someone to find her, he wouldn't admit it.
"That's right..." Yu Shu wisely chose to skip this topic, "How long do you have to live in the palace, didn't you say that you were going to move to the princess's mansion?"
Jingchen said: "It's almost time, the princess's mansion has been tidied up, just need to clean it."
"That's good." When someone comes out, it will be convenient for her to find him again.
The two chatted for a while, Yu Shu heard the faint sound of sticks outside, and watched the sun rise, guessing that it was open, so he stood up and walked to the door.
"Is this the first trial?"
The trial of Dali Temple is in the public office, and it is not shown to the public, and the people are not allowed to enter to watch, which is very quiet.
The officer said, "The trial has begun, girl, wait, and when it is time for you to go to court for questioning, someone will come and pass it on."
"Okay."
Yu Shu walked back and sat down, and smiled at Jingchen: "Did you hear that, the trial has begun, let's sit for a while."
Yu Shu didn't plan to talk to Jing Chen, the crime of murdering the imperial family was gone, anyway, she framed it, but Ji Huaishan stole the question and Ji Xingxuan cheated, this is true, she didn't need to say anything false, and they didn't run away.
Jingchen is much better than Yu Shu's ear power, he is sitting here, he can hear some startling sounds in the front lobby, as well as the sound of the inquisitor's questioning, and after a while, he suddenly asked Yu Shu:
"If this charge of favoritism and malpractice is implemented, how will it be sentenced?"
Yu Shu said: "I will be punished with 100 lashes, degraded to a commoner, and sent out of Beijing."
Jingchen frowned: "One hundred lashes, won't that kill people?"
Yu Shu seemed to remember that the Jingchen sect was very taboo about killing, so he said: "Don't worry, the whip is very thin, I asked Brother Xue, it's a pain, and it takes at least two or three hundred whips to kill someone."
Jingchen's brows were relieved at this time, he hoped that these people who had bullied Yu Shu would get retribution, but he didn't want to see anyone die because of this.
After waiting for two more teas, Jing Chen was invited to the front for questioning, leaving Yu Shu to continue to wait.
"Biography - Witness Yiyang Yu Shu Goes to Court"
When Yu Shu was summoned to the front hall, the hall had just passed a round of trials, and before she reached the door, she saw the ancestors of the Ji family kneeling on the ground.
Both of them were wearing gray prison uniforms, Ji Huaishan was wearing gray hair, leg cuffs, and a rickety back, just like an old man who was about to die, sick and panting, and his former majesty was gone. Ji Xingxuan's hair was tied back in a mess, tied with a rope indiscriminately, and the thin prison uniform was on her, lining her thin figure as if a gust of wind could blow it down, where was there still the demeanor that Miss Ji Si, who was famous in Yiyang City, should have.
When the two of them heard Yu Shu go to the court, their bodies stiffened at the same time, but they didn't look back.
Jingchen did not stand to be questioned, Dali Temple prepared a chair for him, and after the questioning, he sat aside to listen to the trial.
And the other person next to his seat was the young eunuch Ren Qiming, who came to interrogate on behalf of Si Tianjian, except for Liu Tan's absence, almost all the people who were in Si Tianjian that night arrived, oh, there is still a big point to mention.
"Lord Bing, Yiyang Yushu brings."
Sitting in the main hall is the chief judge of this case, the second grade of the court, Guo Huai'an, the secretary of Dali Temple, the case of favoritism and fraud is common, not to mention that when the Dayan examination and the imperial examination are parallel, there are many students who have been caught cheating, Ji Huaishan's case, if it is just ordinary fraud, there is no need for Guo Huai'an to interrogate in person, just hand it over to the people below, but because it involves the murder of the emperor's relatives and other major crimes of rebellion, the emperor specially ordered a strict investigation, so he was in charge of the trial.
"Smack"
"Who's in the hall?"
Guo Huai'an is fifty-three years old, slightly fat, don't look at him with a white face, and his face is kind, but he is actually known for his iron face and ruthlessness, five years ago there was a big case in Anling City, the fourth princess's concubine stepped on a pregnant woman on a drunken horse, and left after a corpse and two lives.
The following government did not dare to make a noise, hastily settled the case, let the horse get away with it, who knew that the pregnant woman man went to Dali Temple to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and survived with fifty iron rods, Guo Huai'an accepted the case on the same day, after finding out the truth, the next day let people go to the princess's mansion to tie up the horse master back, open the court for interrogation, no one will sell face, the most reluctant and then sentenced the horse master to hang, to die to show the law, shocked the entire Anling City, and then some people jokingly called him Bai Yanluo, which is both a reputation and a fear.
"Student Yu Shu knocks on the adult." Yu Yu claimed to be a student, so he bowed with his thumbs and bowed. She raised her head slightly and glanced at Xue Rui, who was sitting on the side of the jury, he was wearing a straight vermilion gauze robe today, with black leather on his waist, wearing a black shirt on his head, and a white jade with a square hole on the brim of his forehead.
Xue Rui was also looking at Yu Shu, yes, he missed the unhappiness in her eyes, and the thumbs of his two hands folded on his knees circled twice, hiding the smile in his eyes, and he knew that she loved to hold grudges, and she didn't forget it so quickly.
"Yu Shu, this official asks you, do you recognize the two people kneeling down here?" Guo Huai'an said.
Yu Shu turned his head to look at the two ancestors and grandchildren who were kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed, and said, "I recognize, this one is Master Ji Huaishan Ji, the right judge of Si Tianjian, and the other is Ji Xingxuan, the fourth lady of the Ji family."
Next, there is a question and answer, Guo Huai'an has not yet tried Ji Huaishan Dayan for the crime of stealing, the first thing to ask is that Jingchen was framed on the way back to Beijing, and lost the Yellow Frost Stone halfway, and later found out in Ji Xingxuan's hands and other things, Yu Shu replied one sentence at a time, the place where the scoundrel should be a scoundrel is still a scoundrel, but she does not explicitly refer to the Ji family being involved in the traitor, because Xue Rui reminded her in advance that the Guo master who tried the case today is good at interrogation, and it is not good to talk too much.
During Guo Huai'an's questioning, Ji Huaishan and Ji Xingxuan didn't interject, and when she answered, Guo Huai'an went to ask them again, and the two of them claimed to be wronged, Ji Huaishan said a few words and coughed again and again, Ji Xingxuan then replied:
"Lord Bing, the little woman doesn't dare to say half a lie, the piece of jade owned by Daozi is indeed something I picked up unintentionally, if it weren't for the guidance of the young eunuch, my grandfather and I don't know that this is a treasure, if you don't believe it, just ask the maid Yunhe next to me, I picked up this piece of jade in Yiyang City, and I showed it to her when I went back, according to the time, Daozi was not killed at that time, presumably I lost this thing unintentionally, and it was not obtained from some thief afterwards 'All this is a misunderstanding."
Ji Xingxuan is also smart, knowing that there is Jingchen in Lu Dao to help Yu Shu make a false confession, so she doesn't say that Yu Shu is lying to her, only that it is a misunderstanding.
"Passing on the maid Yunhe." Guo Huai'an asked Ji Xingxuan's maid to go to court, because the identified witness and the witness who were on guarantee were not in the same place to await trial, so Yu Shu and Jingchen waited in the side hall before, and did not see anyone else.
Before Yun He brought it, Guo Huai'an first asked Ren Qiming, confirmed Ji Xingxuan's words, and asked Jingchen again to verify when his Yellow Frost Stone was lost.
"I only remember that before I left Yiyang, the Yellow Frost Stone was still on me, and the rest of the people didn't know what to do." Jing Chen lowered his eyes slightly, told a lie, and concealed the fact that he handed over the Yellow Frost Stone to Yu Shu in the first place, but was lost by her.
Guo Huai'an knew that Jingchen suffered on the way and lost a memory, so he didn't ask him too much.
"My lord, the maid of the Ji Mansion, Yun He, brought it."
Ji Xingxuan's eldest maid Yunhe, Yu Shu was no stranger, turned his head and glanced at it, but saw that the other party's eyes were red, staring at her viciously, as if he wanted to pounce on her and bite her.
"Yun He, do you recognize this?" Guo Huai'an motioned for the messenger to send a tray down to show her, and what was placed on it was the Yellow Frost Stone that Xue Rui asked Yu Shu to use as evidence a few days ago.
"If you go back to your lordship, the slave will recognize that this stone was picked up by our young lady when she returned to her hometown last year, because this stone is unique and beautiful, so Miss kept it."
Guo Huai'an carefully interrogated Yun He, and knew the facts of the case, knowing that the charge of colluding with the traitor to murder the imperial family was too far-fetched to be determined, so he changed the conversation, straightened his face and asked:
"Then how did it get into the hands of Daozi and Miss Yu again, the official asked you, you recruited it truthfully, but your young lady took this yellow frost stone to exchange for the examination paper of the first subject of Yunhua Yizi Astrology in the twelfth year of Baotai?"
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that he was going to start investigating Ji Huaishan's theft case, and the atmosphere in the public court changed immediately, Yu Shu turned his head to look at the ancestors of the Ji family who were kneeling on the ground, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
