Lou Que was escorted up to the hall by two officials and bowed for a long time.

Li Xian Ling "snapped" and slapped the shocked wood: "Bold maniac, are you guilty?" ”

Lou Que put down his hand, stood up straight, and said calmly: "Late life is not guilty." ”

Li Xianling sneered: "Guilty or not, it's not up to you to have the final say!" Today, there is a Chen woman beating the drum and accusing you of being strong**, do you admit it? ”

Chen Jingzhen, who was lying on the ground, lost no time in whimpering.

Lou Que lowered his head and glanced at it, his eyebrows frowned slightly, but the corners of his lips slowly hooked.

Li Xian Ling waited impatiently, and slapped the shocked wood again: "Do you plead guilty or not?!" ”

Lou Que raised his head and said with a smile: "She wants to be beautiful." ”

As soon as these words came out, a burst of laughter immediately rang out among the onlookers.

After the laughter fell, someone still commented unsatisfactorily: "Not really! With the good looks of the fifth son of Lou, even if it is **, then the woman took advantage of it, okay! ”

Someone immediately followed: "In my opinion, eighty percent of Miss Chen Si admires the beauty of Lou Gongzi, and climbing the bed is not because of love and hatred, so she has a lawsuit today, right?" Even if the two of them really had something, it must have been Miss Chen Si's initiative! ”

I have to say that the eyes of the masses are bright, and this person casually said it, and he actually guessed seven or eight points of truth.

Although Zheng Xian'er's heart was still tight, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but show a little smile.

Of course, Chen Jingzhen cried even more.

Li Xianling didn't like Lou Que's careless attitude. He grabbed the startling wood and wanted to shoot it again, but his right hand was still numb, so he had to give up.

In the crowd, Lou Min was unwilling to be lonely and interjected: "Tongjie, when the adults ask you, what is your attitude?" ”

Lou Que didn't even reply: "What, there is another plaintiff?" ”

Lou Min's face darkened, and it took a long time before he "snorted" heavily: "It's just that you are tyrannical and reckless at home, and you are still so nonsense in the court, I think you will have to suffer a loss sooner or later before you are willing to relent!" ”

"Silence!" Li Xian Ling finally slapped the shocked wood again, still glaring at Lou Que angrily: "You said you haven't done it, what is the evidence?" ”

Lou Que frowned: "If Wansheng is not mistaken, the plaintiff should provide evidence in the court trial, right?" I wonder what Ms. Chen Si's credentials are? ”

"I have proof!" Chen Jingzhen roared and climbed two steps forward: "My lord, I have a witness!" ”

Zheng Xian'er subconsciously looked up at Lou Min.

Sure enough, in the midst of a "buzzing" discussion, Lou Min held his head high and stood up: "My lord, Caomin is the second son of the Lou family and the brother of the defendant Lou Que, and he is willing to testify for Miss Chen Si." ”

"Thank you, Second Son......" Chen Jingzhen was moved and cried a mess.

This scene is so ridiculous that both Lou Que and Zheng Xian'er are silent at this time.

I really don't know what to say.

Lou Min walked to the hall and knelt down, with a look of righteousness and determination: "My lord, the defendant Lou Que is the younger brother of the grass people, and the grass people really don't want him to bear the charge, but the grass people really can't pass their conscience!" The fifth brother has always been misguided in the house by relying on his parents' preference, and he is lustful and greedy by nature, and there are many maidservants in the family who are unbearable and die, and the second elder only blindly covers up. Now there is no maid in the courtyard where the fifth brother lives, precisely because he is notorious, and the maidservant avoids it - everyone in the Lou family knows about this matter, and the grass people dare not say anything! ”

"Huh?" Li Xian Ling nodded thoughtfully.

Lou Min was encouraged, and continued: "During Miss Chen's visit, she lived in a simple house and had nothing to say or do...... Afterwards, Miss Chen Si almost wanted to die, but fortunately she was found by the maidservant and picked up a life. At that time, the second elder of the family promised Yucheng to get married, but who knew that Miss Chen Si behaved abnormally and went crazy shortly thereafter, and the marriage was delayed. Later, the grass people felt that something was wrong, and after the secret investigation, they found that someone had poisoned Miss Chen Si's diet and medicine...... At this time, the poisoned Diao slave has been brought, please pass her to the court! ”

"Biography!" Li County Ling immediately agreed.

At this time, there were fewer onlookers than before, but the direction of those whispering voices had changed. Many people were impressed by Lou Min's "righteousness", and when they looked at Lou Que, they were a little more scrutinized and questioned.

Zheng Xian'er grabbed the armrest of the chair, still sitting upright, but the worry in her heart was getting heavier and heavier.

Today, since these two people dare to jump out and reverse black and white, the so-called "evidence" will always create something. What if even a discerning person can see that there is a problem with the evidence? The important thing is that Li County's order happens to be eager for Lou Que to die!

If you want to add sin, why should you do it?

Lou Que had been avoiding Zheng Xian'er's gaze since she went to the hall, but at this moment, she finally couldn't help but glance at her.

In front of everyone's eyes, Zheng Xian'er didn't even dare to say a word, but was so anxious.

Lou Que moved the corners of his lips slightly, and with a smile that was almost invisible, he conveyed his reassurance to Zheng Xian'er: "Don't be afraid. ”

Zheng Xian'er's heart was sour, and she hurriedly looked away and looked at the door.

As expected, the "Diao slave" brought up by the officials was none other than the Hu Pozi beside Chen Jingzhen.

Hu Pozi's cheeks were swollen high, and she walked a little staggering, obviously having suffered a crime before.

Zheng Xian'er looked at it coldly, and she couldn't tell whether she was angry or worried.

Lou Min smiled proudly and said to Li County: "My lord, this old woman is the Hu Pozi who serves by Miss Chen Si's side, and she is responsible for Miss Chen Si's diet during this time. ”

"Hu Pozi!" Li Xian Ling asked majestically, "Second Master Lou said that you poisoned Miss Chen's diet, but is there such a thing?" ”

The official sent the "evidence" provided by Lou Min, but it was a few packets of herbs.

Hu Pozi knelt on the ground and said honestly: "The old slave doesn't dare to poison him. Miss Chen Si is sick and has been drinking medicine, and those packets of herbs are all prescribed by the doctor, and there is a prescription here. - The second master and Miss Chen Si just beat the old slave to death, and the old slave didn't dare to lie! ”

With that, she really took out a prescription from her sleeve and handed it over.

Lou Min's face turned blue with anger: "You said it clearly below before......"

Hu Pozi said proudly: "Before, I was beaten by the second master below, but now in the public court, the second master wants to force the old slave to continue to reverse black and white, that can't be done!" ”

Zheng Xian'er suddenly lowered her head and smiled.

The people at the bottom are really selected by themselves, so they can rest assured. This bearded woman, she really didn't see the wrong person!

The scribe next to him understood pharmacology, got up and checked the recipes and herbs, and found nothing wrong.

When Lou Min saw this result, he looked a little flustered, and his legs trembled in a hurry.

Chen Jingzhen cried: "There must be something wrong with the prescription!" The medicine they gave me these days is many times more bitter than before! ”

"Defendant, what do you say?" Li Xianling frowned.

Lou Que looked calm: "I am neither a housekeeper nor a slave in the second room, I should not be responsible for the diet and daily life of a guest, right?" ”

"You don't know?" Li Xian Ling looked displeased.

Lou Que shook his head calmly: "I don't know." ”

Chen Jingzhen saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "He said that he didn't know, but at first I was good and there was no illness or disaster, but he suddenly said that I was crazy, and then the doctor also said that I was sick, how could this have nothing to do with him!" He and the Zheng family have always had some hooks, this Hu Pozi is a slave bought by the Zheng family, and he must also listen to him! ”

"Zheng?" Li Xian Ling turned to Zheng Xian'er.

Zheng Xian'er still sat steadily, looking calm: "Yes, there is indeed a group of slaves in the house that I bought." But what does that mean? The minions in my yard were arranged for me by the second sister-in-law of the Zhu family, who was the first, didn't she ever steal my things, murder Young Master Sun, and drug me to put messy people into my yard and other stupid things? Second brother, did you say yes? ”

"Hugh is nonsense!" Li County Ling grabbed the shocked wood and shouted, "This county asks you, do you know about Diao Nu Hu Pozi drugging the plaintiff?" ”

Zheng Xian'er sat up straight and lowered her face: "My lord, please be careful!" In today's court, where did the 'Diao slave' come from? How could anyone ever 'drugged'? Adults have already experienced it, and the herbs and prescriptions are fine! Taking a step back, if I really arranged for a slave to drug Miss Chen Si, wouldn't I just kill her to save trouble? If I have the heart to poison me, where will Miss Chen Si have the opportunity to lie down here! ”

"That's because you don't dare to ......" Chen Jingzhen was so anxious to sit up, but unfortunately he fell back in pain halfway through his sitting, and he couldn't finish his words.

Zheng Xian'er narrowed her eyes and looked at her dangerously: "You say-I don't dare?" ”

Chen Jingzhen shuddered, and suddenly remembered the words that the third brother had warned her.

She was originally not afraid of Zheng Xian'er, but when she thought of her third brother who was not afraid of heaven and earth, she couldn't help but muttered a little in her heart.

Li Xian Ling was robbed of by Zheng Xian'er, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable, and her face couldn't help but turn a little darker: "Zheng, you still have to speak for the defendant at the moment?" The plaintiff claims to have been **, do you know about this? ”

Zheng Xian'er said indifferently: "I didn't want to speak for anyone. I'm a widow, and those unclean words don't reach my ears. I just want to remind adults - the Lou family is not the only living person in Lou Min, adults want to find a witness, just go to the Lou family and pull a few slaves to ask, I think there will be a lot of gains. ”

Mrs. Hu was busy adding: "My lord, everyone in our house knows about Miss Chen Si!" At the beginning, she wanted to drug the fifth master, but in the end, it was the second master who was recruited - Miss Chen Si's identity in the Lou family, and she was the second master's concubine! ”

"Really?" Li Xianling's face darkened a little.

Lou Min was busy denying it, but Mrs. Hu had already shouted: "Not only the Lou family, but even the Chen family can testify!" When the second son did that wrong thing, he was punished by a hundred whips in the ancestral hall, and he once brought a dowry to the Chen family to make amends and ask for marriage, such a big thing can't deceive people......"

Before she finished her words, Lou Min had already kicked her out with a flying kick: "Babbling Diao slave! ”

"Bold! How can you be presumptuous in the court! "The Li County Order is finally on fire.

Lou Min was so frightened that he hurriedly fell down and kowtowed: "Please make the decision for the grass people!" This thing...... This incident was originally caused by the partiality of the second elder in the family and forced the grass people to take the blame for the fifth brother! The minions in the mansion all thought that it was the grass people who bullied Miss Chen Si at the beginning, but this was not the case, because the minions who knew the truth had already been sold out of the mansion! ”

"So, you don't have any evidence to prove your innocence?" Li Xian Ling asked with a calm face.

Chen Jingzhen hurriedly crawled out and cried: "My lord, although the folk girl is confused, she doesn't even know who her enemy is!" There is evidence of his bullying of the people's daughters in Lou Que's room, as long as the adults send someone to search, they will definitely be able to find out! ”

Search, search again!

Only then did Zheng Xian'er know that the other party had made such a big detour, and the killing move was still being prepared here!

Can someone easily call someone in to search the room in the building?

If Zheng Xian'er was just suspicious that someone would frame it before, then now-

This is no longer a question of planting a false accusation or not, she is almost certain that Lou Que's residence must have something that the enemy needs!

What could it be?

Did Lou Min and Chen Jingzhen collude with Li County Commander earlier, or did they fight crookedly and fall into the hands of Li County Order?

Regardless of the answer, the result is the same.

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Jingzhen's words, Li Xian Ling immediately came to the spirit: "That being the case, someone is coming-"

"Wait!" Lou Que hurriedly interrupted Li County's order.

At the same time, Zheng Xian'er also stood up involuntarily.

Lou Min let out a meaningful chuckle: "Third brother and sister, Lord Li wants to search the fifth brother's room, what are you nervous about?" Could it be ......"

Zheng Xian'er's heart sank.

Lou Min's eyes narrowed into a slit, and a big smile hung on the corner of his lips: "Third brother and sister, your identity is special, and no one will tell you about the messy things in the house-since you have claimed not to know, why do you spare no effort to speak for the fifth brother?" ”

This is clearly a threat.

Zheng Xian'er understood Lou Min's meaning: if she continued to interfere, he would shake out all the things about her and Lou Que!

The people in her own house only knew about it, but if it spread outside, how could she live?

After a while, Zheng Xian'er sat back in a daze.

She originally thought that Chen Jingzhen's purpose in making this scene today was to make her and Lou Que ruined together, and by the way, she would give her eldest brother and sister-in-law an a cover-up crime, so that the Lou family would only have a second room and a single family......

Now it seems that she is thinking wrong.

These two people don't seem to be interested in her, what they want is Lou Que's life!

- There is no doubt that what can make Li Xianling, Lou Min and Chen Jingzhen go to great lengths to search must be fatal to Lou Que!

Zheng Xian'er tried her best to stabilize her mind and looked at Lou Que.

His face was really bad, which undoubtedly confirmed Zheng Xian'er's worries.

Li Xian Ling had already stood up, with a smile of victory on his face: "Defendant, you refuse to cooperate with the search?" ”

Lou Que raised his head and looked grim: "I am not guilty, I am not allowed to search." ”

"It's up to you!" Li Xianling said loudly: "The plaintiff has a witness, but you don't have any evidence to exonerate yourself, and the county can only acquiesce that you are guilty!" Since the accuser said that the incriminating evidence is in your room, it must be searched! Someone—"

Lou Que suddenly took a step forward and blocked the officials who were about to stand up and receive the order: "Slow! I plead guilty! ”

"Kiritsu?!" Zheng Xian'er was anxious.

She didn't understand, how could she confess her sins so quickly? Have things gotten to this point?

Since there is no evidence on either side, let's argue for a while, there will always be a way! Maybe......

After a period of anxiety, Zheng Xian'er, who calmed down, suddenly understood Lou Que's helplessness.

Today is Li County's intention to search, no matter how much he spends talking, the final outcome is probably the same.

"The people don't fight with the officials", it is this kind of helplessness that is said!

If you don't confess your guilt at this time, do you have to wait until the rod is added to the skin of your body to open the flesh before you confess your guilt?

Zheng Xian'er bit the corner of her lip, and felt a chill in her heart.

Lou Que stood silent for a while, and finally turned around slowly: "I'm sorry, third sister-in-law, I have betrayed your trust." ”

"Hey!" Lou Min let out a meaningful chuckle beside him.

A thought suddenly flashed in Zheng Xian'er's heart.

She didn't have time to think about it, she turned her heart sideways, and immediately wiped her tears and rushed towards Lou Que: "How can this be? I came out early in the morning, and my wife told me to advise you to take care, and in the blink of an eye, you suddenly confessed to such a big crime, how can you tell my wife to go back......"

The officials didn't dare to stop him, so Zheng Xian'er rushed straight to Lou Que, grabbing his sleeve regardless of it.

Lou Que lowered his head, lowered his voice and said urgently: "All those letters in my desk drawer are burned!" Pigeon ......"

Before he finished speaking, the officials had already gathered around.

Zheng Xian'er hurriedly took two steps back, stomped her feet and shouted, "I don't understand!" If you are innocent, why should you confess? The face of the Lou family has been lost to you! ”

Lou Que avoided her gaze with a sad expression: "Third sister-in-law, when I go back, I will say 'sorry' to my mother for me." My father is sick, so don't tell him. ”

When Zheng Xian'er heard this, she knew that the matter was irreparable.

However, she was not convinced.

The onlookers at the door were already chattering.

Zheng Xian'er gritted her teeth and asked sharply: "Give me a clear word, are you guilty or not!" ”

Lou Que smiled bitterly.

Li Xian Ling held his hands and frowned: "Yes, virtuous nephew, this county has not embarrassed you, if you haven't done something like that, you can't easily admit your guilt - otherwise, wouldn't it be an unjust case?" ”

It is clear that his purpose was only to "search". Lou Que's sudden confession was not the result he hoped to see.

The onlookers saw the doorway, and the discussion was lowered, and everyone held their breath for fear of missing something.

Zheng Xian'er looked at the lively people, and pressed her chest to make a painful statement: "Since I married into the Lou family, I have always heard the old lady say that the hope of the family is in the fifth son. I think, isn't it just the Lou family who pins my hopes on you? Sangyu County has not produced a single solution for hundreds of years, and you can be regarded as fighting for our Sangyu County! Now...... How did you get involved in such a case? If you are not guilty, then speak clearly and ask the adults to judge. If you are guilty, you don't have to wait for the law to be merciful, I will beat you to death for the old lady first! ”

She said this very emotionally, and someone at the door immediately echoed:

"That's right, why confess if you don't have a sin?"

"I haven't been tortured, how can I admit it?"

"Isn't it madness?"

"Yes, people are upright and upright, how can they bear this kind of grievance?"

……

Lou Que turned around and glanced at everyone, shook his head with a wry smile: "Third sister-in-law, you don't understand...... If I agree to let people go to the house to search today, it will not be a matter of guilt or innocence, and the innocence of the Lou family for hundreds of years will not be preserved! It's nothing for me to be humiliated alone, and the arrogance of the Lou family can't be destroyed in my hands! ”

"So, you'd rather admit to a trumped-up charge than allow officials to search the mansion, for the sake of the Lou family's integrity, right?" Zheng Xian'er summarized it for him aloud.

Lou Que nodded and smiled.

Li Xian Ling was so angry that he slapped the shocked wood, and half of his arm was numb: "Lou Que! The case of the government is not something you can joke about! ”

Lou Que held his head high and said loudly: "I don't dare to joke about the government's case in my later life." This case is absurd, but the late life has no way to defend himself, so he can only plead guilty! ”

"You're fooling around!" Li Xianling almost died of anger.

He wanted to be guilty of a guilty verdict neatly, but the people at the door were not easy to fool. Everyone can hear that there is no evidence in this case from beginning to end, it is all Lou Min and Chen Jingzhen who are talking with their mouths, so can they be convicted so hastily?

And Zheng Xian'er has also reminded that Lou Que is a person who has earned face for Sangyu County. If it is casually sentenced to rape, the people of the county can also collapse the county government gate with a single spit!

Or do you insist on a door-to-door search?

But Lou Que has already made it clear that he would rather admit guilt than be searched, this matter is related to the integrity of the entire Lou family!

Although the people did not know what "integrity" was, this did not prevent them from admiring it in their hearts.

The old man Lou is a person who has been a second-grade official, and the second-grade seal of the lady in the house has not been withdrawn-if there is no ironclad evidence in hand, how can such a person be provoked by the little seven-grade county order?

Li Xianling felt a dilemma, and even regretted taking the case a little.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li County Ling had to sit back and pretend to be majestic: "The evidence in this case is insufficient, so I will be imprisoned for the time being, and I will be tried another day!" ”

"My lord! The people are wronged! Chen Jingzhen, who had been crying all night, finally said another sentence.

It's a pity that at this time, Li Xianling was angry when he saw her, and he was bored for a long time before he said: "You didn't keep the evidence at the beginning, and now you are shouting what kind of injustice?" This county is unreasonable to see you! ”

"My lord......" Lou Min still wanted to speak.

Li Xian Ling saw that he couldn't get on the stage, and he was even more angry: "It's not a thing!" ”

Lou Min was not convinced, and raised his chin to glance at the officials on both sides.

That means: My lord, you can be tortured!

Li Xianling understood what he meant, and almost went crazy.

Execution? People Lou Que is famous, and he doesn't even have to kneel in the public court, how can he be easily punished?

Moreover, can you come to the door to search after the execution? Can the people be convinced after the execution?

This second son of the building is brainless, right? If you don't have evidence, you can even falsify evidence, what's the matter with such a headless and endless now!

is born to the same father, why is the gap so big?

Li Xianling, who was no longer willing to talk to Lou Min, secretly made up his mind in his heart:

Lock up Lou Que first, let him taste the torture instruments in the cell!

He is a weak scholar, he will definitely not be able to stand the punishment, the so-called "integrity" will be gone in two days, and he will not be rounded and flattened by him when the time comes?

Things are to be searched, people are to be punished, and sin is to be condemned! The Lou family fell into his hands this time, don't think about it!

With a spectrum in his heart, Li Xian Ling felt a little better.

He waved his hand impatiently to Lou Min: "The county hall is not a place for you to quarrel!" If there is no evidence, go back to find evidence, and come back when the evidence is complete! ”

After that, he looked at Chen Jingzhen again: "You ran to beat the drum and shout grievances without evidence, you could have been punished for false accusation according to the law, for the sake of you who have already been punished by the rod, let you go back to recuperate from your injuries first, and then hold you accountable after your injuries have recovered!" ”

Chen Jingzhen was stunned.

This doesn't seem to be the same as the result I said before?!

When she was about to ask more, Li Xian Ling had already turned his back and sulked by himself.

I hope that the Chen family will be smart and send some silver as soon as possible to dissipate his anger, otherwise......

Li Xian Ling suddenly turned to Zheng Xian'er again.

This woman used to be very interesting, what is wrong today?

Zheng Xian'er didn't care how much anger and resentment Li Xian Ling hid in that glance. She bowed her head and bowed solemnly: "Master Li, our Lou family is always willing to believe in the innocence of the fifth prince. Before this case is revealed, please take care of each other's decency, don't be blinded by villains and lose proportion! ”
