055 elopement
Jun Qinglan's cold eyes were like the wind, lingering in the court: "Cui Tai is clearly in Yizhuang with Ning Chu, why do you want to deliberately avoid it?" From the available evidence, there seems to be no clue. However, everything must have a cause and effect, and nothing happens by chance. ”
"Daddy." She looked at Daddy Jun: "Please tell me about the situation when you saw Cui Tai." ”
"When I saw him, he was dressed in a woman's wedding dress. The clothes are the same as the woman, and there are blood marks on the forehead that are covered with incense powder, which is very embarrassing. ”
Jun Qinglan nodded, and took out the wedding dress found in Jun's father's wardrobe and unfolded it: "Look, what he was wearing at that time was this wedding dress?" ”
"Exactly."
Jun Qinglan didn't speak, and looked towards Deng Chunwang without a trace. The man quickly lowered his head, as if he did not dare to look this way. However, a trace of panic in his eyes did not escape Jun Qinglan's eyes.
She retracted her gaze without a trace, and said loudly: "Cui Tai is a man and a child of a family in the capital, but he appeared in Yizhuang on the outskirts of Beijing as a bride, which was originally an unbelievable thing. According to his own words, he was a scholar who came to Beijing from other places to take the exam, and he was robbed and entangled by thieves. The bandit leader even made a ridiculous scene of a fake phoenix because of his beauty, and he was able to get out of it because of his pretended to meet him. ”
She folded the wedding dress slowly and put it in the tray, handed it to Jiang Yufan, and presented it to Dali Siqing.
"His rhetoric would be reasonable if he was someone else, but we already know that he is Cui Tai, so the identity of the scholar who rushed to take the exam seems too absurd, so the matter of forced marriage by thieves naturally cannot be true. This gives us a lot more questions. Why did he appear dressed as a bride? Why do you want to hide your identity and make up such a set of lies? And when he appeared in Yizhuang, did he want to enter the city or leave the city? ”
Everyone frowned, and there was a silent silence in the courtroom. At this time, everyone's hearts were pulled by her, and they couldn't help but think about the answers to those questions in their hearts. But I can't figure it out, and I can't understand the essentials.
"Huh." After a long time, Princess Changle sneered faintly from behind the screen: "It's just a trick to talk about it." If you can only play tricks, this case will be handed over to this princess for trial. ”
"Princess, please be still." Jun Qinglan arched her hand and said calmly: "I have always believed that the occurrence of any case is not accidental. Only when the cause and effect are clearly understood can we understand the truth of the case. ”
The woman's slender and tall body stood upright like a pine, and her honey-colored skin was calm and waveless, and there was no fear at all: "The humble position has found out the origin of the wedding dress that Cui Tai is wearing." That dress came from Deng Ji Silk Village, and it was used by Deng Rou, the young daughter of Deng Chunwang, the shopkeeper of Deng Ji Silk Village, to get married. ”
“…… What the? ”
In the silence, Ning Chu suddenly exclaimed that it was clear and abnormal. Although he tried his best to suppress his voice, his voice was heard by everyone at a time when everyone was nervous. As a result, Ning Chu immediately replaced Jun Qinglan and became the focus of everyone's attention.
Jun Qinglan looked sideways, and the man's usually unruly and calm face turned white, although he desperately lowered his head. But he still didn't have time to hide the panic in his eyes.
"Ning Chu, why are you so shocked by the origin of the wedding dress?" She stared at Ning Chu and asked word by word.
"I ......." Ning Chu's voice paused: "I wasn't shocked. ”
"You're lying." Jun Qinglan hooked the corners of her lips slightly: "Her Royal Highness Princess Changle once said that you have been in court to tell the origin of your mother's name and surname, and this is indeed the case." If my guess is correct, your lady is Deng Chunwang's daughter Deng Rou. ”
When these words came out, there was a commotion among the adults who heard the trial in the court, even among the prisoners of the Deng family.
"Isn't Deng Rou already dead?"
"But no, the coffins have been sent to mass graves for burial, I saw it with my own eyes."
"How is that possible?"
Jun Qinglan didn't stop everyone from whispering and whispering, and her eyes were burning and she only looked at Ning Chu for a moment.
"Ning Chu, you are a scholar. Sages often say that a gentleman is frank, do you dare to tell the truth in front of the people of Yanjing and all the adults now? Is your lady Deng Rou? ”
Ning Chu's shoulders fell, he took a deep breath but suddenly raised his head: "You're right, my lady is Deng Rou." I really love her and are like-minded, but her father only wants to recruit her to inherit the family business. In desperation, I could only meet her under the moon and escape from Yanjing City. ”
"You talk nonsense!" Before his words fell, Deng Chunwang howled at the top of his throat: "My daughter has died a long time ago, why did she elope with someone?" What kind of thing are you, slandering our Deng family like this? Although we are just businessmen, we can't tolerate such slander. ”
"Your Excellency?" Deng Chunwang kowtowed like pounding garlic: "You have to make decisions for the villain." ”
Deng Chunwang was filled with indignation and anger. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he could immediately fly up and tear Ning Chu to pieces.
"Bold!" A crisp sound of startling wood ended Deng Chunwang's noise, and Dali Temple's face sank like water: "How can there be noise in the public court?" ”
"Jun Qinglan." Dali Siqing frowned and looked at the slender and tall woman's body: "The point! ”
"Humble duty understands." Jun Qinglan opened his mouth and said: "After the investigation of the humble position, what Ning Chu said just now is the truth. On the same day, Deng Rou met the down-and-out Ning Chu on the street and secretly promised him, just because Deng Chunwang had always disliked the poor and loved the rich, Deng Rou expected that he would not agree to his marriage with Ning Chu, so he fled from the Deng family and eloped with Ning Chu before the wedding. ”
Her gaze slowly swept over the faces of Ning Chu and Deng Chunwang: "Deng Rou has been taking care of business since she was a child, and she is a smart girl. She thought that it was not easy to get rid of the daytime target, so she deliberately chose to leave Yanjing City before the curfew. Even if Deng Chunwang discovered it at that time, he couldn't recover her at all. So, after the little couple met, they ran all the way, and they didn't dare to stop until they reached Yizhuang, and then they ran away again overnight. I think that's the truth of why you don't want to stay overnight in Yizhuang, isn't it? ”
Ning Chu half-lowered his eyes: "What you said is good. After we ran away, my mother always cared about my father-in-law, so we temporarily settled down in Tong County. Originally, I planned to inquire whether this matter would hinder my father-in-law before making plans, but I didn't think of hearing the news that Jun's father was in prison. The lady said that the grace of the dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, and Xiaosheng came to Dali Temple. Outcome....... ”
As a result, not only did he fail to save people, but he also trapped himself.
"Huh." Princess Changle snorted coldly: "Where did the matchless fornication come from?" eloped as a concubine, in the final analysis, Deng Rou is just a shameless little slut who can't see the light. ”
Ning Chu raised his eyebrows, and he was about to sneer at him. Jun Qinglan shook her head at him, signaling him to be patient. He turned to Deng Chunwang.
"Dare to ask the shopkeeper Deng, why did you come up with a trick of your daughter committing suicide by marriage knowing that Deng Rou was missing?"
"I ......." Shopkeeper Deng was deflated. No matter how much he talks about lotus flowers today, his face will be completely lost. He sighed deeply and sat on the ground, almost hating Deng Rou half to death in his heart.
"The villain is a face-saving person. That cheap girl ran away without face and skin, what can the villain do? After thinking about it, the only way to come up with such a way to manage the whole face, is it wrong for the villain to do this? ”
"You're right." Jun Qinglan said: "If the facts are as you said, take care of your face with a fake funeral, this matter can be regarded as comprehensive." Pity....... ”
Jun Qinglan's voice suddenly coldened: "That's not the case, you're lying!" ”
"Where did the villain lie?" Deng Chunwang frowned: "My lord, didn't you personally inspect Deng Rou's coffin that day, you saw with your own eyes that the coffin was empty." The villain is indeed just acting in a play, where is there a half-word lie. ”
"Really?" Jun Qinglan narrowed her eyes: "If I am not mistaken, you kept saying that the reason for the empty coffin was because Deng Rou had run away, and there were many witnesses to this matter." ”
"That's ......." Deng Chunwang slapped his thigh, and said with a sad face: "Isn't that a nonsense made up by you because you had no way?" ”
There was a crackling sound in the air. No one would have thought that Deng Chunwang would slap himself without warning. After that, he opened the bow left and right and drew it endlessly: "It's all because of the villain's stinky mouth, nonsense that harms others and himself." ”
Dali Siqing glared at Jun Qinglan: "What kind of system!" ”
At the other end, Princess Changle said coldly: "It's really a good show." ”
Cui Lin, a member of the household department, had a face as black as ink, and no one knew what he was thinking.
In the court, only Li Congyao was consistently indifferent, as if he had never seen this ugly scene in front of him.
Jun Qinglan looked at Deng Chunwang's actions coldly, and only after a long time did she lightly speak: "Before the shopkeeper Deng made this play, didn't he carefully think about the cause and effect at the exit?" Giving such a flawed testimony, is it an insult to the intelligence of all the adults? ”
Deng Chunwang's voice was stuck in his throat all of a sudden, and the high slap couldn't fall: "My lord, why do you say this?" ”
Jun Qinglan took a few steps closer to him and looked at his pupils condescendingly: "Have you forgotten that you have already written out the guest list who participated in Deng Rou's funeral?" ”
Deng Chunwang's body trembled.
Jun Qinglan continued: "After the coffin was opened, I have already found everyone on the list to verify. At the beginning, there was indeed a corpse in Deng Rou's coffin wearing a woman's wedding dress. The subordinates of the Deng family's night vigil did see Deng Rou, who was neatly dressed that day, jumping out of the coffin and escaping. ”
"So." Jun Qinglan stared at Deng Chunwang and said word by word: "Please tell me who was Deng Rou in the coffin?" ”
Deng Chunwang pursed his lips tightly.
Jun Qinglan hooked the corners of her lips, suddenly turned around, and swiped her hand in the air, pointing to the fiery red wedding dress on the table.
"The corpse in the coffin that day was wearing the wedding dress. And the day Deng Rou's body disappeared from the coffin was exactly ...... The 10th day of June! ”
