That night, Jiang Shuhong handed over the captured mother-in-law to the official office of the Imperial City Mansion, and Bai Daqian, the secretary of Dali Temple, was Gu Lixing's student. After Gu Lixing took office as the secretary of the Criminal Department, he was transferred to the Imperial City Dali Temple as an official.

As soon as he heard that the person who came was Jiang Shuhong from Wenzhong Houfu, he looked flattering.

Jiang Shuhong sued the mother-in-law for sending people to spread rumors, and more than a dozen beggars testified, saying that they had accepted the mother-in-law's money and wanted to release the obscenities.

Bai Daqian inflicted bamboo punishment on his mother-in-law's hands and feet, and slowly ordered the torturer to increase his strength, and in less than half a stick of incense, the mother-in-law honestly fell to the ground: "Old slave...... The old slave was originally the nurse of the concubine of the eleventh prince's mansion. ”

Jiang Shuhong sat on the side, staring coldly.

Bai Daqian said: "Slandering the county lord is a capital crime!" Say, who is behind the scenes? ”

The mother-in-law couldn't bear the criminal law, but she was just punished with her hands and feet, ten fingers connected to her heart, and she said bitterly: "It's not about my concubine, it's not about her, it's my own opinion......"

Bai Daqian woke up and patted the wood, as if a drum sounded, "Bold!" First spread rumors on the outskirts of Beicheng and gave beggars one or two pieces of silver, and then many beggars rushed to hear the news, as many as fifty or sixty people; Then he went to the north of the city to spread rumors, and gave the beggars a tael of silver each...... Such a large amount of money, how can you be a slave? If you don't tell the truth, this official will have your son and husband arrested and put them in prison together! slandering the lord of the dynasty can punish the whole family. ”

A mother-in-law can be worth a few silver dollars, and at this age, she can buy one for three taels of silver, but she can take out a few hundred taels of silver before and after to spend, and someone must have instructed her behind her.

The mother-in-law was stunned: he had committed a capital crime.

She is a subordinate, how can she have these hundreds of taels of silver, it is clear that someone gave it.

Those beggars didn't swear not to say anything, but now they have caught it.

The mother-in-law looked panicked, "No! No, it won't! Concubine Fu said. When this is done, I will be given 50 acres of fertile land in the suburbs and let me go back to the countryside to retire...... No......"

Bai Daqian's means are that even many seven-foot men can't resist, and he is deeply affected by Gu Lixing. Now together with Gu Lixing and Dali Siqing, they are known as the three cool officials of the dynasty. The means of criminal law are not ambiguous at all. When he arrived at his court, there was no one who did not speak.

"The prisoner is not quick to recruit her. Why did Concubine Fu slander the lord of the dynasty? What is the purpose? Say! ”

The mother-in-law didn't say anything, and immediately some officials began to torture, some pulled the torture instrument on their feet, and some put the torture instrument on their ten fingers, pulling desperately, a heart-piercing pain, and the mother-in-law wailed: "The old slave confesses!" All the old slaves confessed! ”

It turned out that Fu Yihui was going to enter the palace as a concubine, but somehow. The emperor gave her the eleventh prince as a side concubine, and when she got married, it couldn't be simpler.

It didn't take long to hear that the daughter of Lord Gu of the Criminal Department entered the palace as a concubine, and as soon as she entered the palace gate, she sealed the concubine and made the head of the palace. Even his father was given the title of second-class mirror.

Fu Yihui thought of the position of her concubine, where she could match the dignity of the imperial concubine, she was a concubine, and naturally she couldn't compare to marrying the emperor. Once entered the palace to meet the queen, and made a silver inquiry. learned from an inner servant that she could not enter the palace as a concubine because the county lord of Anxi dissuaded her from entering the palace.

Bai Daqian sneered: "What nonsense! The emperor is wise, she was allowed to be a concubine in the past, isn't she also the side concubine of the eleventh prince now? The prince's concubine is a concubine, and the emperor's concubine is also a concubine, so she must want to be the imperial concubine? ”

Where is this to blame the county lord of Anxi, who clearly secretly complained about the emperor, did not let her be the imperial concubine, but let her match the eleventh prince as the side concubine, only this time it is disrespectful.

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she was afraid that this matter would affect her husband and son, so she was afraid for a while, and kowtowed again and again: "Please be the master!" What the prisoner said was true! Please save my husband and son! Concubine Fu is scheming, and if she knows that the prisoner confesses, she will find my husband and son to vent her anger and beg the adults to save them! As long as the adult saves people, the prisoner is willing to say more, please adults! Please save my family......"

Bai Daqian asked, "Where are your husband and son?" ”

"They were also concubines of Concubine Fu with the prisoner's wife, in the eleventh king's mansion."

The mother-in-law said her name, and Bai Daqian was immediately arrested.

Su Yeon's reputation has been full of turmoil in the city, and there are many unsightly rumors in the market.

Jiang Shuhong originally wanted to calm down, grabbed his mother-in-law, and asked Jiang Shuncheng and the brothers, but Jiang Shupeng suggested that this matter is not easy to tie up, and it is better to turn big things into small things and small things.

Jiang Shuqi was the first to disagree: "My sister has been slandered by them so far, can those rumors be taken back?" If we let go of the Fu family again, what is our Jiang family? If you let it go this time, someone will definitely do it even more next time. Our Jiang family just wants to show others, and those who dare to hurt our Jiang family will have to pay a heavy price. ”

Jiang Shuncheng paced back and forth, and finally gave a sentence, "Report to the official, let the government come forward to judge." ”

The government will come forward, and then it will become a case, not a private matter.

Who is the Fu family? It is the uncle of the current queen, and if you continue to investigate, you may be able to find the Zhenguo Mansion. In this way, if the queen is guilty, it will be the concubine who will gain power.

This is a big case today, and he has to quickly go to Gu Lixing to discuss.

Bai Daqian sent Jiang Shuhong away, and immediately went to Mingjing Houfu to find Gu Lixing.

Gu Lixing has already stopped, I heard that the student Bai Daqian is visiting, Bai Daqian is about thirty years old, Gu Lixing is in his early forties, and the two look more like brothers.

Bai Daqian saluted with a humble face, "Disturbing the teacher so late today, it's really a bit tricky for the student to encounter a case, and I hope the teacher will give you some advice." ”

Gu Lixing thought for a while, the case is tricky, usually not the case itself, but the plaintiff and defendant of the case received. "Who are the plaintiffs? Who are the defendants? ”

Bai Daqian said: "The plaintiff is Wenzhong Houfu, and the defendant is Concubine Fu of the Eleventh Prince's Mansion. The students knew very well that this case was not simple, and there were many rumors about the county lord of Anxi in the imperial city recently, and some of them couldn't even listen to the students, but Concubine Fu sent a mother-in-law to find a group of beggars to teach them orally, and promised that if the beggars were rumored, they would give each one or two pieces of silver......"

He succinctly told the ins and outs.

Gu Lixing sneered twice, "Concubine Fu, a woman from a Taoist family, how could she think of such a vicious method?" I'm afraid that there is someone else behind this. ”

ruined the name of the daughter, or the daughter of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family went up to Jiang Shuncheng. Down to Jiang Chuan and others, which one is easy to provoke, this is the powerful family of the current dynasty.

Bai Daqian said: "What the students are embarrassed about now is how to decide this case, and whether they should continue to investigate." ”

Fu Xiang has been so proud lately!

If you take advantage of this, you can fix him well. It's good to let him regain his sharpness.

Gu Lixing said: "What should I do?" The more you can find out about this case, the better. The bigger the case, the bigger it gets. The more beneficial it is for you. ”

Bai Daqian tilted his head and thought about the meaning of the last sentence, "The more beneficial it is for you", does it mean that this case can be brought to the Zhenguo Mansion. It would be even more interesting if the real mastermind behind this scene became the current queen. "Teacher, do you think this case will be done by the queen? Concubine Fu, a little princess and concubine, where would she do such a thing, she has no grudges and hatred with the county lord of Anxi, why would she ruin her reputation? said that the lord of Anxi prevented him from entering the palace as a concubine, and he held a grudge, so he did it. ”

Gu Lixing asked rhetorically: "Do you believe such a statement?" ”

Bai Daqian shook his head.

"The county lord of Anxi was promised to Yan Shizi, and she is a young lady in the boudoir. What did you do to prevent the emperor from accepting concubines? What kind of person is the emperor, how can he give up a concubine because of an irrelevant woman. If it's really stopped, why did my daughter become a concubine? ”

Bai Daqian understood the meaning of this.

Anxi and the emperor are both students of Zhu Wu, and they have the affection of brothers and sisters in the same family, so she does not stop anyone, and she prevents Fu Yihui from entering the palace. Isn't that weird? Gu Lixing's daughter also married the new emperor, and she was also the new emperor's favorite concubine, and she was named a concubine as soon as she entered the palace. Gu Lixing was the first to disbelieve such statements.

Bai Daqian is even more unbelieving.

"Anxi is the county lord given by the first emperor, and his status is noble, both public and private. We should all do her justice and punish those who have ruined her reputation. If all the wives and ladies of each family were like this, wouldn't they ignore our dynasty and the law? Check, check hard, you must find the real culprit! Dare to slander the lord of the dynasty, depending on where the law of the country is, you and I are both people who uphold the system of national law, and you must not ignore the law in vain. ”

Bai Daqian got Gu Lixing's advice, returned to the official mansion, and interrogated the husband and son of the mother-in-law again.

This night, when Bai Daqian was busy trying the case and using the punishment, Su Yan lay on the couch and couldn't sleep.

Once, she liked the future mother-in-law of the princess on the left shoulder, but she didn't think that from the beginning, she accepted herself, all because Yu Wenyan liked it. However, later, Tang Guan wrote some poems, and the Mid-Autumn Festival students blocked the way, she couldn't like herself, and even decided that she was a person who did not abide by women's morals.

Yu Wenyan moved out of the palace and lived alone in another garden. On the one hand, he hid from her, and on the other hand, he was arguing with the princess, and he was caught in the middle, how difficult it should be.

The engagement date was due to the fact that he said that he had grown up together since he was a child and had become married one after another, and he wanted to get married.

She didn't doubt him, it turned out that the princess on her left shoulder had already made up her mind to withdraw from her family.

Since she was engaged to Yu Wenyan, she accepted this lover from her heart, and she also liked him little by little, but now she is in such a situation.

If she knows it, she can't do it.

She couldn't let Yu Wenyan bear all this alone, and she couldn't ignore the disgust and inability of the princess on her left shoulder to accept her.

Even if she gets married, the princess will not give her a good face, and she will not expect the princess to teach and help half a point in the affairs of the palace......

The princess will not bless her and Yu Wenyan, this marriage has already made her very unhappy.

The bell on the wall was shaking, and she looked at the bell, her heart fluctuating.

The first time she saw him at night, she wore a heavy robe and a cloak to protect against the cold, and she wore long hair that was extremely waist-long, and she crossed the courtyard wall, landed in the forest, and approached the stone table step by step.

He stood in the night with a smile, and he still came to visit her on such a cold day.

She suppressed her worries and smiled bitterly, "You've been tired lately, haven't you?" ”

He was slightly stunned, and quickly replied with a smile: "I'm not tired, I forgot everything when I saw you." ”

Her heart ached, and she looked up at the handsome face in front of her.
