Chapter 46: Arraignment of Murong Cheng

Su Muchun interrogated the Han family in the General's Mansion, but Murong Hong received the news that Dali Temple interrogated Murong Cheng, and he didn't care about going to Han's side, so he hurriedly went to Dali Temple.

Dali Temple Public Hall.

The three halls will try Murong Cheng's case, although it has not been made public, but there are many people present, Murong Hong does not need to mention it, the prince is also present, the emperor also sent Fu Rui to observe, and even the brothers and sisters of Sun Chi, the prince of Yuelan Kingdom, actually sat aside.

Lord Qing Fu of Dali Temple sits in the center, Lord Wu of the Criminal Department is located in the upper left, and Lord Yushi Taige is located in the lower right.

It stands to reason that the three law divisions should be the four halls of trial, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Yushitai and Shangshutai, but Qiu Shangshu was found because his mansion was destroyed, and his savings for many years were discovered, and he was drinking tea in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion at the moment!

"Bang!"

"Take Murong Cheng!"

Master Fu's face sounded with majesty, and he looked down.

Because Murong Cheng was not convicted, he didn't bring his hands and shackles, but just took off his official uniform, and was escorted in by the yacha with a shirt and pants.

Murong Cheng did not suffer from flesh and skin, this has to be thanks to Su Muchun's blessing, if it wasn't for Su Muchun's words first, then what he sees now must be Murong Cheng with blurred flesh and blood.

Master Fu asked in a deep voice, "Who is the kneeling person?" ”

Murong Cheng saluted, "Go back to your lordship, your next official Murong Cheng!" ”

Master Wu asked loudly, "Murong Cheng, are you guilty?" ”

Master Fu frowned when he heard this, and looked at Lord Wu but didn't say anything.

Murong Cheng looked up at Master Wu and said, "The lower official is not guilty, why do you want to admit it?" ”

Master Wu said, "Bold Murong Cheng, the evidence is conclusive, you still dare to deny it, this official sees that you are not suffering from some flesh and skin, it is difficult to confess, come to someone, and torture me." ”

At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Lord Wu has made it clear that he wants to declare his personal vendetta, and the prince's mansion set up a banquet for Murong Qing and Su Muchun to join forces, and deceived him into several shops.

"Wait!"

Murong Hong, who was listening, shouted categorically, "Lord Wu, you haven't even asked about the reason for the matter, you are going to be tortured, do you want to be tortured?" ”

Lord Wu stroked the thin beard under his forehead, and said in an official tone, "This official trial is the right granted by the emperor, and it is not the turn of the general to point fingers here." ”

Murong Hong said with a cold face: "The three halls of Dali Temple will be tried, and the other two adults have not yet been questioned, so Lord Wu is going to torture him, is this to announce personal vendetta?" ”

Lord Wu was poked in the sore spot by Murong Hong's words, and the expression on his face couldn't help but change, and he said in a deep voice, "This official has always enforced the law impartially, and there has never been a personal vendetta in the communiqué, general, if you are disturbing the court, don't blame this official for blasting you out." ”

"You ......"

Murong Hongqi's face was red, but he was speechless.

Seeing this, Master Fu hurriedly asked, "Murong Cheng, you will describe in detail what happened that day." ”

Murong Cheng knelt down in the hall and spoke eloquently, which was roughly the same as what he said in front of the emperor in the imperial study, but it was more detailed than that.

"Presumptuous!"

Princess Xinlan shouted angrily, glared at Murong Cheng and said, "Obviously, you want to insult the palace, but now, it is really a great crime to humiliate the palace with clever words on top of the public court." ”

Murong Cheng said calmly, "Whether the lower official is guilty or not, the adults will decide, but the princess is like this, is she annoyed and angry?" ”

Gongsun Chi said with a gloomy face, "Murong Cheng, this is the case, no matter how much you quibble, it will be in vain." ”

"Bang!

Murong Cheng was fearless and was about to speak, but Lord Wu did knock on the shocked wood angrily and shouted, "Bold Murong Cheng, he actually despised the court, came to someone, and punished fifty sticks!" ”

"No!"

As soon as the yacha pressed Murong Cheng to the ground, an official trotted in from outside, holding a letter in his hand.

"Lord Wu, this is a letter to you!"

After the official saluted, he presented the letter to Lord Wu and withdrew.

Lord Wu hesitantly opened the letter and looked at it, his face changed instantly, the content of the letter was very simple, warning Lord Wu that Murong Cheng was fine, and everything would be fine.

There was no payer, but the letter stated the whole process of accepting bribes last time, and what shocked Lord Wu even more was that even the place where his family had newly replaced the silver was clearly written.

"Wait!"

Lord Wu hurriedly stopped the yacha who was beating Murong Cheng, looked at Fu and Ge embarrassedly and asked with a smile, "What do you two adults think about this?" ”

The two adults, Fu and Ge, did not rush to express their position, but looked at him with doubtful eyes, which made Lord Wu very uncomfortable.

After the two adults withdrew their gazes, they turned to look at Murong Cheng who was lying on the ground, but they were thinking about the content of the letter in their hearts.

Gongsun Chi saw that there was no follow-up, and said angrily: "The three adults, are you trying to show favoritism?" ”

"Bang!"

When Master Fu heard this, he knocked on the shock, and said with a gloomy face: "Whether the matter is right or wrong, the official will decide." ”

Gongsun Chi said coldly: "Then please enforce the law impartially!" ”

After discussing with Master Ge, Master Fu asked Lord Wu again, Lord Wu has no temper at all now, and the two adults will listen to whatever they say.

Lord Wu's sudden change after receiving the letter made everyone look at them questioningly.

"Bang!"

Master Fu knocked on the hall and asked in a deep voice, "Murong Cheng, can there be any witnesses at the time of the crime?" ”

Murong Cheng knelt down again and said, "Back to your lordship, Princess Xinlan called all the palace maids to retire at that time, so ......"

Master Ge asked, "That means there was no witness present at that time?" ”

Murong Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, during this period, Princess Xinlan's personal maidservant, Miss Bailing, once came in, but when she saw that the princess was arguing with me, she withdrew again. ”

Master Fu knocked on the startled wood and shouted, "Biography, maidservant Bailing!" ”

Not long after, Gongsun Lan's personal maidservant Bai Ling was summoned to the court, and knelt down to salute everyone present in turn.

Master Fu looked at Bai Ling for a while before he asked in a deep voice, "Maid Bai Ling, this official asked you, at that time, Murong Gongzi said that when he had a dispute with your young lady, you had seen this with your own eyes, but could it be with your own eyes?" ”

Bai Ling heard that she peeked at Princess Xinlan, and when she saw that Princess Xinlan didn't look at her, she quickly lowered her head again.

"Tell me the truth!"

Master Fu shouted, how could this subtle little action escape his eyes.

Bai Ling was frightened, and hurriedly replied, "Lord Hui, yes." ”

Master Fu asked, "Then describe the scene at that time." ”

"Bang!"

"Say!"

Just when Bai Ling wanted to peek at Princess Xinlan again, Master Fu knocked on the hall and shouted.

This time it frightened Bai Ling's body trembling, cold sweat instantly slipped down his forehead, and he said in a flickering voice, "That...... The slave saw him with her own eyes that day. ”

Bai Ling said this, pointed at Murong Cheng beside him with his hand, and said with anger in his eyes, "It's that he wants to insult my princess!" ”

Murong Cheng moved the corners of his mouth, revealing a disdainful smile and said, "As the princess's personal maidservant, why didn't you step forward to stop your master when you saw that your master was being insulted, but retreated again?" ”

"This ...... This ......"

Bai Ling's eyes rolled rapidly, and his brain quickly thought about how to deal with Murong Cheng's words.

Gongsun Lan helped add, "Bailing quit naturally to call people, is it possible to let you, a shameless person, succeed?" ”

"Yes, the slave went out to call someone!"

Bai Ling hurriedly agreed, and then said with his head touched, "Please make the decision for my princess!" ”

The three adults on the throne had already seen the reason for this, and they only condemned the foreign princess......

"Bang!"

Master Fu angrily knocked on the shocked wood and shouted: "Bold slave maid, when you see your master being humiliated, not only do you not step forward to fight each other, but you retreat on the spot, but now you have to speak and refute more, and your crime should be punished!" ”

"The slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and the maid don't dare, my lord, what the slave and the maid said is true, and the slave and the maid really went to call people at that time."

Bai Ling explained in a panic, but his eyes were peeking at Princess Xinlan.

Master Ge had already seen Master Fu's intentions, and he also knocked on the shocked wood angrily and shouted, "Bold and cheap, the matter has not been recruited from the truth until now!" ”

Bai Ling peeked at Princess Xinlan but saw that Princess Xinlan didn't look at her at all, she knew that no matter what she was today, she was in a catastrophe.

But the big thing of her master couldn't be said, so Bai Ling insisted on what he said before and didn't change his words.

"Bang!"

Master Fu patted Zhang Tang and shouted, "Bold and cheap, this official sees that you are not suffering from flesh and skin, and he is not telling the truth, come to someone, use torture tools." ”

"No!"

"Wait!"

Gongsun Lan suddenly stood up and asked angrily, "My lord, is this going to be beaten into a trick?" ”

She continued, "Bai Ling is the maidservant of the palace, even if she makes a mistake and wants to be punished, it will be punished by the palace itself. ”

Gongsun Lan tried her best to defend Bailing, which made it difficult for the three adults, and at this moment, another letter came in.

Everyone looked at Lord Wu differently, and Lord Wu was embarrassed again.

Before the embarrassment on Lord Wu's face subsided, everyone saw that the official sent the letter to Gongsun Chi.

Gongsun Chi took the letter suspiciously, unfolded it, and suddenly stood up, his face changed instantly, his eyes stared at the content of the letter, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing this, Gongsun Lan hurriedly snatched the letter and took a closer look, her face suddenly showed a look of shock, and she looked helplessly at her brother Gongsun Chi.

Gongsun Chi gritted his teeth, calmed down again, his eyes showed a ruthless look, and he said in a gloomy tone, "Bailing, how did you instigate the princess to frame Lord Murong, and it is not like the adults who recruited you from the truth. ”

Bai Ling looked at Gongsun Chi in a daze, not understanding what was written in the letter, which made him change so much.

Gongsun Lan understood his intentions when he heard his brother say this, and glared at Murong Cheng unwillingly and turned elsewhere.

When Bai Ling heard this, a trace of despair rose in her heart, she understood that Gongsun Chi was abandoning the car to protect the handsome, saying that she was willing to do it, and only hoped that her family would be safe.

Bai Ling thought about it and finally made up his mind, and when he looked up, there was a decisive look in his eyes, "The slave maid was reprimanded by Lord Murong a few days ago, and she was unwilling, and she accidentally said it in front of the princess, and my princess also wanted to vent her anger for the slave maid, so she ...... Please forgive me. ”

Then he kowtowed to Murong Cheng and said, "It's all the slave's fault, the slave is willing to accept Lord Murong's punishment!" ”

Murong Cheng looked at Bai Ling with a cold face, and then looked at Princess Xinlan.

The three adults on the throne also looked at Gongsun Lan, Bailing's words are full of loopholes, and fools can hear them, let alone those of them who are in the officialdom!

Although Princess Xinlan was very dissatisfied with what Bai Ling said, it was better than revealing her own purpose, she bowed down to Murong Cheng and said, "All this is a foolish thing that this palace did on impulse and without thinking, Lord Murong is willing not to pursue it?" ”

Murong Cheng lowered his head and was silent, he was thinking about what was written on those two letters, who was helping him like this, and so was Murong Hong.

Everyone was waiting for Murong Cheng's attitude, and for a while, there was silence in the public court, and even the sound could be heard when the needle fell.

Suddenly, Murong Cheng suddenly looked up at Murong Hong, with a strange color in his eyes, and at the same time, Murong Hong also looked at Murong Cheng with the same eyes, looking at each other, both of them understood each other's thoughts, and their faces showed joy.
