Chapter 140: Unjust Cases

"This painting is also intended to be given to you, even if you are today and in the future, this palace will still send someone to send this painting to your palace in the future. A blank space left on the painting is used to write those two sentences. ”

Even if He Mengxi doesn't come, Yue Qingqian will attract her, and this painting is an introduction.

That day, He Mengxi's performance was too surprising.

In the past, she hid deeply, and Yue Qingqian didn't pay attention to it. But now, she no longer regards He Mengxi as an ordinary singer. No singer will be better than Miss Shijia, and there will be no singer with such talent, and her writing can be as good as the world's famous writer.

Although there are such strange women, Yue Qingqian feels that there are too few after all. Besides, she doesn't particularly believe in coincidences.

He Mengxi understood another meaning in Yue Qingqian's words, and his eyes flashed slightly like autumn water.

Yue Qingqian noticed it, so she smiled lightly: "Should you talk about your intentions?" ”

He Mengxi's expression was fleeting and struggling, but it was only for a moment, and then it returned to normal.

Her eyes looked at Qiuyue and them vaguely, and Yue Qingqian said to Qiuyue and Qiushui: "Take this painting and frame it, and you can take it back later." ”

"Yes." Qiu Yue and Qiu Shui took the painting and retreated.

After only Yue Qingqian and He Mengxi were left in the house, Yue Qingqian said: "Now, you can always speak." ”

He Mengxi immediately knelt down towards Yue Qingqian and said, "The people's daughter asks the queen to avenge the people's father. ”

Yue Qingqian was really surprised this time, and said strangely: "Why don't you go directly to Your Majesty for such a thing as revenge?" Also, Hongu remembers that your father is not already ......"

Yue Qingqian reacted suddenly, and her face became a little solemn. She put away the light smile on her face, and said with a somewhat serious expression: "You, who are you?" ”

He Mengxi paused slightly, then smiled lightly, and said: "That's right, with Niangniang's intelligence, I must have guessed that the folk girl is not the real He Mengxi, but impersonated into the palace." ”

It would be a lie to say that he was not surprised, but Yue Qingqian had already returned to her usual appearance at this moment, and her face had not changed much.

She said: "Do you know that impersonating her to enter the palace is a crime of deception, which is a capital crime." ”

He Mengxi smiled bitterly and said, "The folk girl has already become an orphan girl, drifting in the world like duckweed, lonely and helpless. If it weren't for the unjust case she was carrying, the folk girl would have been left with her family. ”

"The folk girl naturally knows that impersonating someone else to enter the palace is a capital crime. But in order to overturn the case and avoid the enemy, this is the only feasible way. ”

"The real name of the folk girl is Xie Qiuyun, and she is the daughter of the former Sikong Xie Wei."

As soon as He Mengxi said this, Yue Qingqian was surprised, and she finally knew which case it was.

"It turns out that you are Xie Wei's daughter, no wonder this empowerment is so well written. Lord Xie Wei's endowment was extremely famous at that time, and the Xie family was also a hairpin family. ”

He Mengxi nodded and said: "Yes, my father's attainments in the Fu are so high, and the people's daughters are still beyond their reach. It is rare that there are still people who remember their father, and some people remember the former Xie family. ”

The former Xie family can be regarded as a big family, and the glory of the family can be said to have spread for several generations. It wasn't until Xie Wei here that it was over, which was a pity.

In the past few decades, there have only been a few major events in Jinghua, and the most memorable of them is probably the case of the Xie family.

Sikong is the head of the winter official, in charge of water conservancy and construction. At that time, Xie Wei was Sikong, about four or five years ago, there was a very serious flood in Yuehua City in the Western Qin Kingdom.

At that time, the Western Qin State allocated a large amount of silver and asked Xie Wei to take the silver for disaster relief and go to Huacheng in person to provide disaster relief.

But on the way, he encountered a bandit, and the huge amount of disaster relief silver was robbed in this way. As the person in charge of this matter, Xie Wei naturally couldn't get out of it, but at most, he was only demoted. The first king sent someone to recover the silver at that time, but somehow, in the end, it was found in Xie Wei's old home.

The first king was furious because of this, and beheaded the Xie family.

At that time, Yue Qingqian was already in the moonset hermitage, and when she heard this, she was very surprised.

Xie Wei's fu, she has seen it. Sometimes, looking at a person's poems and songs, you can actually see what kind of person this person is.

When she read his fu, she only felt that this person must be a chic and casual person. How could such a person embezzle such a huge amount of money for disaster relief? What's more, Xie Wei's rare two poems also write about people's livelihood.

The worries about the country and the people are also real, not for show.

When she heard the news at that time, Yue Qingqian didn't believe it.

But what can she do as a person who has become a cultivator? For this matter, she can only regret it.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that the Xie family, who was beheaded all over the house, still had a daughter like Xie Qiuyun.

"At that time, the Xie family was beheaded all over the house, how did you escape death?"

Xie Qiuyun smiled bitterly, as if she remembered that painful memory again, and said: "On the day of the raid, the folk girl was greedy for fun and ran out. So he escaped, and when he returned, everything in the house had already changed. Later, it was my father's friend who found out that the girl was still alive and took her away. ”

In the following years, it was my father's friend who had been taking care of the people's daughter, but just two years ago, Uncle Lu, who had been taking care of the people's daughter, also passed away. Uncle Lu told the Minnu on his deathbed that the Minnu's father had been wronged, and gave the Minnu some evidence that could prove the innocence of the Minnu's father. This is also the evidence that Uncle Lu has collected over the years. ”

"At first, the folk girl was very excited because of the evidence. So I went to the yamen to avenge my father's grievances, and when those people heard that the people wanted to avenge my father's wrongs. He didn't even let the folk girl in, so he drove the folk girl out. And just when the folk girl accused the world of injustice and walked on the way back, she almost lost her life under the knife of others. ”

"Those people may have been sent by the person who designed to frame the father of the folk girl, and the folk girl was saved by a singer on the way to escape, and that person was the real He Mengxi. She was kind-hearted and took in the people's daughters. ”

Yue Qingqian was a little sympathetic to what happened to Xie Qiuyun, and asked, "Where is the real He Mengxi now?" ”

Xie Qiuyun said slowly: "He Mengxi, in fact, she has always had someone she liked, but because the man liked someone else at the beginning, she felt that her heart was dead, so she thought about entering the palace." In fact, it also meant to test the man. ”

Yue Qingqian didn't feel much about this, but she just felt that He Mengxi was really a little nonsense. Is this a child's play to enter the palace?

Xie Qiuyun also knew that He Mengxi did regard entering the palace as a child's play, so he confessed: "I hope that the mother will forgive the sins, in fact, Mengxi was also reported to the selection list by the proprietress of the song and dance workshop before, and she didn't know it in advance." ”

"Bengong remembers that after the list is reported, there is still a chance to cancel. But she didn't cherish this only opportunity, did she? Yue Qingqian's face was expressionless, neither too tolerant nor too harsh.

Xie Qiuyun had no idea for a while, and finally had to keep his head down.

Yue Qingqian said again: "After that, the man probably recognized his mind and wanted to recover He Mengxi." And you take this as an opportunity, an opportunity to enter the palace and face the saint. You can escape those who killed you, and maybe you have a chance to overturn the case. ”

Xie Qiuyun did not deny it, and said: "Niangniang knows everything. ”

Yue Qingqian smiled, "It's also difficult for you, but what this palace doesn't understand is that since you want to enter the palace to find a chance to avenge your grievances, competing for favor is a good opportunity, why do you want to hide your true strength?" ”

"Originally, with your own intelligence and talent, you were enough to attract the attention of His Majesty, but in the whole year, I have not seen you attract any attention from everyone. Why are you doing that? ”

Xie Qiuyun said truthfully: "Your Majesty is wise and relatively cold, and the people are afraid that they will reveal their true identity. After the first impulse, the people will not do anything that they are not sure of. is also because the evidence in the hands of the folk girl is not enough to prove that the father was wronged. ”

"In the year since entering the palace, the maiden has come to protect herself in this deep palace, and secondly, she is collecting evidence that can prove her father's innocence."

Yue Qing smiled lightly and said, "Then you will confess to this palace now, and you should have collected enough evidence, right?" ”

Xie Qiuyun shook his head and said, "The evidence in the hands of the people's daughter is not enough to prove that her father is innocent, but the doubts in it should be enough for the case to be thoroughly investigated." ”

In the Western Qin State, because at the time of the founding of the country, there was a case of unjust trial by officials, which caused the anger of the founding monarch. Subsequently, in order to prevent the recurrence of such an unjust case, as long as there is some evidence in the case that can prove that the case has many doubts, it can be requested to re-investigate the case thoroughly.

"But......" Xie Qiuyun hesitated.

Yue Qing's heart was relieved, and she said: "But this case was tried and judged by the first king himself, but it is also very difficult to overturn the case. ”

Xie Qiuyun's expression was also a little worried, and she nodded helplessly. It is precisely because of this that she has not been able to come up with all this evidence.

Because, if the case is overturned, and it turns out to be an unjust case in the end. Then, it is the opinion that tells the people that the first king was a faint king. If the case is not overturned, Xie Qiuyun will not be willing. She is alive now so that she can let her father redress her grievances and comfort the Xie family underground.

However, it is too difficult to overturn the case, even if the requirements for overturning the case have been met. Just because this matter involves the first king, it makes this even more difficult.
