Chapter 353: Verification of Identity
The boy looked innocent, shook his head and said:
"The official didn't say anything, just said that everyone would enter the lobby and start the trial."
Zhou Heng stood up and looked at the Shuntian Mansion, where the guards were very strict, but he didn't see anyone walking around, and he didn't know if he would mention this matter in the morning today, but he was not in a hurry, even if it was Chen Wenchi who still had one last resort.
Zhu Yunmo saw that Zhou Heng was as stable as Mount Tai, and he was a little less impatient, so he sat down and ate some refreshments, and threw some food and drink to the kid who spoke lips.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour or so, a group of carriages and horses approached quickly not far away, and there was a sedan chair in the forefront, and the boy quickly swallowed the refreshments, pointed to the carriage and horses, and said:
"Shizi, someone is here!"
This time, Zhou Heng also stood up with Zhu Yunmo, walked to the window and saw a person getting down from the sedan chair, only to see the three-grade official uniform and not the face, Zhou Heng carefully identified it, and could not confirm it from the figure.
On the carriage behind, Peng Yushan and a few people followed.
At this moment, Zhu Yunmo let out an exclamation.
"Huh? How did Zhou Yi'an follow the team? ”
When Zhou Heng heard this, he immediately grabbed Zhu Yunmo's telescope and looked over, and sure enough, one of the people who followed behind the three-grade official mansion was Zhou Yi'an.
It's just that he walked at the end, and his head hung down for a while and he didn't notice it.
Seeing this, Zhou Heng's hanging heart suddenly let go.
Seeing that Zhou Heng was not surprised at all, Zhu Yunmo was even more curious, grabbed Zhou Heng's hand, and asked:
"That's what you're hiding from me? What the hell is going on, you say? ”
Zhou Heng's face relaxed a lot, and he shook his head slightly:
"It's so boring to say, wouldn't it be more surprising for you to find out yourself, besides, the emperor didn't make a decision before today, it seems that something happened in the early dynasty today that we don't know."
Zhu Yunmo snorted and shook off Zhou Heng's arm.
He knew that Zhou Heng didn't want to say that no one could do anything about it, but since Zhou Yi'an appeared, at least it showed that it was developing in a positive direction at this time.
As everyone entered the Shuntian Mansion, these onlookers were also put in, but the courtyard space was limited, and only the onlookers outside were put into the hundred and tenth, and as for the rest of the people, they also gathered in twos and threes and did not leave.
In this capital, there can be such a lively view, even if you are closer, you can hear the first-hand information.
There is no TV, no mobile phone, no WeChat, Douyin and public account, such anecdotes are the most interesting conversation after dinner, and naturally no one wants to miss it.
The people on the street below, not only are not less, but there are more, there are many more guests in the teahouse, and the noisy sound outside is endless, Zhu Yunmo got up and closed the door tightly, so that the sound is much quieter.
He walked up to the boy and slapped him on the shoulder.
"Tell who said what in a while, don't talk nonsense, you know?"
The kid was a little nervous, it was estimated that this person was specially trained by Pang Xiao for reconnaissance, so his ability seemed to be good.
He held the binoculars, stared at the lobby carefully, and squatted down slightly, at this angle, he could just see the situation in the lobby.
Zhou Heng also raised the binoculars and felt inexplicably relieved when he saw the person sitting under the hanging plaque of the mirror.
The boy began to explain:
"Fu Yin began to ask about the case, and brought the Han brothers and sisters, Zhu Xiaochang and Wen to interrogate in the court."
Zhu Yunmo also squeezed over at this time, his position was not good, and he wandered around the telescope for a long time, only then did he see the situation in the lobby and see the people sitting in the hall, Zhu Yunmo exclaimed.
"Ahh How is Master Zhang Fuling? He...... Why did he come, is this case now being tried by Dali Temple? No, if the Dali Temple had tried it, it wouldn't have been interrogated here, wouldn't it...... Is it ......?"
Seeing Zhou Heng's indifferent appearance, needless to say, he must have known it a long time ago.
"It turns out that you already knew, no wonder you weren't surprised at all when you saw Zhou Yi'an just now, it seems that this is also part of the plan?"
Zhou Heng smiled, "This is a surprise, I originally thought that Chen Wenchi would only be able to replace him after the trial of this case was completed, but I didn't expect that the court would be able to settle this matter this morning, it seems that the emperor's suspicion is even worse." ”
Zhu Yunmo knew that there must be details here that he didn't know, but since Zhou Heng didn't say it, there were many people here who couldn't ask in detail, so Zhu Yunmo raised the telescope.
"Okay, let's go back and talk about it, I told you that I can't coax me without food, it's a big deal."
Zhou Heng didn't pay attention to it anymore, the kid didn't seem to hear the conversation between Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo, and when he saw someone talking, he hurriedly said:
"The witnesses have also been brought in, and Lord Fu Yin said: The plaintiff's pleadings have been read, and the records of the last trial are also there, the evidence in this case is conclusive, the human and material evidence is complete, and there is nothing that needs to be investigated in detail, what does the defendant Zhu Xiaochang have to defend?"
Zhou Heng stared at Zhu Xiaochang with his back to the door, this angle is really not easy to distinguish, he seemed to glance sideways at Wen, took a step forward and saluted Zhang Fuling and then stood up and said.
"My lord Mingjian, Dongmei is indeed the maid of Weizhutang in my Ning Wangfu, and she has been transferred to take care of my diet and daily life for more than a year, and the matter with her men and women is indeed true, but I don't know that she is pregnant.
Moreover, I was only an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, and I didn't know anything about men and women, and when I was waiting for me to bathe in the middle of autumn and winter, I did a lewd act and touched my lower body, and it was not until my body changed that I couldn't help but have sex with her.
I have hardly been in contact with women, and if I really covet the beauty of women, I will be addicted to this, and I will never find her alone. ”
Dongmei didn't hold back, her hand supported the edge of the wheelchair, and she pointed at Zhu Xiaochang tremblingly and said:
"You lied, Sister Qiu Ju also had a bed with you before, how could I be the only one?"
Zhang Fuling grabbed the startled wood and slapped it hard, Dongmei was startled and quickly put away her hand.
"Han Dongmei, the official didn't ask you, you wait for a while, if you make noise in the hall again, you will be punished with a cane to set an example."
One sentence made Han Dongmei quiet, but her face was already full of tears, Zhu Xiaochang said indifferently, but his words were reasonable.
Zhou Heng squinted his eyes and looked at the Wen clan standing behind him, but the Wen clan had not moved until the end, and seemed to be unconcerned.
Yes, this is the feeling, it seems that there is no surprise at this result, could it be that she has a plan for this?
Zhang Fuling looked at Zhu Xiaochang, "How many maids are there around you?" ”
"Back to the adults, the four are named after spring, summer, autumn and winter."
"The Qiu Ju that Han Dongmei said just now, can you bring it?"
Zhu Xiaochang nodded, "Lord Hui, the people from the Weizhutang of King Ning's Mansion have all brought, and they are outside at the moment, and adults can ask questions at will." ”
Zhang Fuling waved his hand and motioned to the people around him.
"Bring Qiu Ju up for questioning."
As soon as the words fell, the official went out for two, and returned to the lobby with a woman in a moment, this woman was wearing a decent maid costume, and quickly knelt down to meet Zhang Fuling, and then Zhang Fuling looked at Han Dongmei.
"Do you know this person?"
Han Dayong pushed Dongmei's wheelchair and turned around, then he faced the kneeling woman and carefully identified it, and Dongmei nodded.
"It's her, it's Qiu Ju."
Zhang Fuling didn't raise his head, and asked very quickly:
"Since you are Qiu Ju, then the official asked you, have you ever had a male and female love with Zhu Xiaochang?"
Qiu Ju shook her head vigorously, her face was unusually firm, she raised her eyes to look at Zhang Fuling, and said:
"There is no slave and maid in the back, the slave and maid are still virgins, and if you don't believe it, you can find someone to verify your identity."
As soon as this statement came out, all the people outside who were watching the excitement exploded, if it was really as Qiu Ju said, wouldn't all this Dongmei be fake, what else is this checking, this is a false accusation.
Zhang Fuling grabbed the startling wood and slapped it hard.
"Quiet, then verify your identity, Zhu Xiaochang, Han Dayong, do you have any objections?"
Zhu Xiaochang didn't think about it, and immediately hugged his fists and said yes.
Dongmei grabbed Han Dayong's sleeve at this moment, her hands were trembling, and she shook her head at Han Dayong, wanting to disapprove of this time.
However, Han Dayong is really a ruthless person, he threw off Dongmei's sleeve and hugged his fist at Zhang Fuling.
"Ask the adults to call the shots, find someone to check, no matter what the result is, we admit it, I believe my sister."
