Chapter 219: Secret Discussion in Prison (2nd Update)
(Recommended reading: Daxing County Ya, Dajiao.
Li Hongyu sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the stars outside the window, his brows furrowed slightly, and he vaguely felt that things were getting a little wrong.
According to Li Hongyu's speculation, as long as Zhu Wanting received the news, he would definitely come to see him in the prison, but now that the night is dark, not only did Zhu Wanting not appear, but even Zhao Xin and others failed to come to see him, which made him realize that something happened outside that he didn't know.
Because he is now locked up in prison, Li Hongyu can't do anything about things outside, and all he can do is wait and see what happens, and wait in secret.
In fact, Li Hongyu is not worried about the current case, it seems that he is now in prison, but the other party made an unforgivable mistake, which allowed him to get out calmly.
The reason why he didn't say his killer weapon during Han Song's trial was because he didn't trust Han Song, so he wanted to get a stricter and fairer trial through Zhu Wanting or Yang Lian and others.
In fact, what Li Hongyu is most afraid of now is that his case will be dragged down at the instigation of the mastermind behind the scenes, as long as it is dragged past the closure of the Gongyuan, then it is equivalent to half of the other party's purpose, and Li Hongyu's killer weapon has also lost its effect.
"What the hell is going on?"
After a long time, Li Hongyu couldn't help muttering to himself, and involuntarily began to worry, since the other party spent so much time and energy to set up a situation, he must have the heart of imperativeness.
For some reason, Li Hongyu became interested in the people who set up the game and calculated himself, he definitely didn't believe that this game was designed by Zhang Quan, a little marquis who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and it must have been pretended to be someone else's hands.
Judging from the trap set by the other party, he was not only thoughtful but also long-term, and had been waiting patiently and secretly, waiting until the day before the entrance to the test, he suddenly attacked, and then caught him off guard.
According to today's court trial, Li Hongyu can conclude that the person who set up the bureau sent two baits to Li's house, one is Yang, who is already pregnant, and the other is Zheng, who testified against him, and the two corroborate each other, which makes Li Hongyu fall into an abnormal passivity.
Moreover, the Yang family and the Zheng family are not only supporting each other, but also shouldering the heavy responsibility of framing Li Hongyu, because not only Yang's husband He Yu, but Zheng's husband also left the capital to do business a year ago and has not returned, Li Hongyu does not think this is a coincidence.
In the final analysis, pregnancy is an uncontrollable thing, if only one person is sent, then it may not be able to conceive at that time, so the other party sent Yang and Zheng two people, and whoever is pregnant will come forward to sue at that time.
Of course, if Yang and Zheng are pregnant at the same time, then things will be the best, when the two pregnant women appear in court to testify against Li Hongyu, I am afraid that the people will think that he is a heinous adulterer.
As for whose child is in Yang's womb, according to Li Hongyu's secret observation of He Yu and Yang in court today, the relationship between He Yu and Yang still seems to be close, and He Yu did not dislike her because Yang was pregnant with someone else's child, which is obviously a bit unreasonable.
Therefore, Li Hongyu deduced that the fetus in Yang's womb must be He Yu's, and women in this era can attach great importance to honor, plus from Yang's neighbors, it can be known that Yang's adherence to women's morals is impossible to steal people outside, so it must be He Yu who made Yang's pregnancy.
Although He Yu claimed to have gone to another place, it was not difficult for Zhang Quan's ability to quietly bring him into the city and stay for a while.
Just as Li Hongyu was thinking about the case, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps in the corridor outside the cell door, as if someone was coming, which made him look up and want to know who was coming.
"Brother Zhao?" Waiting for the door of the cell to be opened by the jailer, Li Hongyu couldn't help but look happy, and excitedly got up to greet Zhao Xin who entered the door, he had been looking forward to it for so long and finally had someone coming.
"Brother Li, you haven't been wronged, have you?" Zhao Xin stepped forward and looked at Li Hongyu with concern, for fear that he would be harassed by the jailers in the prison.
"I'm fine, okay.
Li Hongyu smiled slightly, glanced at the jailer standing outside the door, pulled Zhao Xin to a corner of the room, and asked in a low voice, "Is my case very troublesome?" ”
"Lord Yang and Lord Wu went to find Shuntian Mansion Yin, but your case is complicated, and you can't let Han County release you." Zhao Xin's expression suddenly darkened when he heard this, and then he remembered something, and said to Li Hongyu in a low voice, "Lord Zhaoxiang followed Princess Shouning into the palace, otherwise he would definitely come to visit." ”
"It's just right that she didn't come, otherwise it would have complicated things even more." Li Hongyu shook his head, secretly feeling a little happy in his heart.
He didn't expect that even Yang Lian and Wu Liangsi would not be able to settle this case, so it means that the other party has made perfect preparations, and with Zhu Wanting's character, he may make a big fuss in the prison of Daxing County, and then he will give the other party a handle in vain.
Zhao Xin also felt that it was actually a good thing that Zhu Wanting didn't come, Zhu Wanting was like a double-edged sword, although she could kill the enemy, she could also hurt herself, and she had to control it well.
"Brother Li, what do you have to do with this case?" Subsequently, Zhao Xin looked at Li Hongyu worriedly, she was helpless now, so she could only pin her hopes on Li Hongyu.
"The other party's design is very clever, but he made a mistake that he didn't know." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, leaned over and whispered a few words in Zhao Xin's ear.
Zhao Xin was stunned at first when she heard this, and then her cheeks became rosy with a brush, her snow-white neck turned crimson, and her expression looked a little embarrassed.
"Brother Zhao, as long as you can verify what I said in court, then the situation he set up will be broken." Li Hongyu saw that Zhao Xin was blushing, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, he naturally wouldn't dwell on this matter so as not to embarrass Zhao Xin, so he said quietly.
"I'll go back to Lord Wu, and I hope that the trial will start tomorrow morning." Zhao Xin came back to his senses when he heard this, stabilized his somewhat flustered mood, and replied in a low voice.
"I can't look for Lord Wu." Li Hongyu shook his head when he heard this, and said to Zhao Xin, "We can't afford to offend the Donglin Party now, and we can't offend the Chu Party, so we can't ask any of them to help with this, and the help we will get at that time will be greater."
”
"Brother Li, do you already have an idea?" Zhao Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked quietly.
"Since they have put a lot of effort into setting up the stage, then we can't just waste it in vain, so we have to teach Zhang Quan a lesson!"
Li Hongyu groaned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Zhao Xin solemnly, "Brother Zhao, the only way to do this today is to look forward to Lord Zhaoxiang coming back early tomorrow." It doesn't matter if you miss the entrance to the Tribute Academy, you can let the county lord of Zhaoxiang ask the emperor for permission to refer to the grace? ”
"No, in that case, the outside world will definitely gossip, and besides, the emperor will not necessarily give this decree."
Zhao Xin saw that Li Hongyu had high hopes for Zhu Wanting, and suddenly felt a trace of sourness in his heart, and then bit his lip and said, "I think about it, since the stage has been set up, then our play might as well be sung bigger!" ”
"Bigger?" Li Hongyu's eyes flashed with suspicion when he heard this, and he didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Xin's words for a while.
"Brother Li, since we have the chance to win, then why don't I go and beat the drum and let the emperor come up to comment!" A strange light flashed in front of Zhao Xin's eyes, looked at Li Hongyu and smiled slightly, and said quietly.
"Dengwen Drum?" Li Hongyu was stunned for a moment, his face was full of surprise, he never expected Zhao Xin to think of such a method.
In ancient times, the Dengwen Drum was a special judicial system that directly appealed to the emperor, commonly known as the "sue for the emperor", and those who had suffered major grievances could beat the Dengwen Drum.
The Dengwen drum of the Ming Dynasty was set up by Ming Taizu, and there was a special person to manage it, and Ming Taizu would personally accept the complaint of the wronged people, and if the officials obstructed it, they would be severely sentenced.
Originally, the Dengwen drum was set up outside the noon gate of Nanjing Palace, and later the Yongle Emperor moved the capital to set it up outside the right gate of Chang'an on the side of the Daming Gate.
During the Xuande period, some officials played to cancel the Dengwen drum system, and the Xuande Emperor did not approve of the establishment of the ancestor, but later the Dengwen drum system gradually became a situation, in order to avoid the emperor being disturbed, the officials in the capital would close the cases of those suing the emperor in advance.
Moreover, it is not easy to beat the Dengwen drum, first of all, you must go to the capital, secondly, you must be able to enter the imperial city, and then you must be able to get close to the pavilion guarded by the guards where the Dengwen drum is, and finally, the complaint it submits must be approved by the six departments on duty and the Jinyi guard, so that the Dengwen drum can be sounded.
Therefore, since Emperor Xuande, the Dengwen drum has not been beaten, and even if the person who complained was lucky enough to come to the pavilion where the Dengwen drum was located, the complaint he submitted would not be accepted by the six departments on duty to the matter and Jinyiwei, but the case would be transferred to the three law divisions for trial.
Those petitioners who have to file a complaint because of trivial matters, or who skip the line of accusations without going through the layers of complaints, will be punished by the court staff.
Therefore, for Zhao Xin, it is not easy for her to beat the Dengwen drum, and if she doesn't do it, she will be blown away after being beaten up.
And now it is a fatal injury to take a board with a single lift, unless he can stick to the exam with injuries like Li Hongyu.
It is worth mentioning that Li Hongyu was just competing with the examination of Xiangyang Mansion at that time, and he would face the elite of the national lifters, and it was obvious that taking the examination with an injury would be seriously affected.
Of course, Zhao Xin can not participate in this examination, anyway, she is just a woman, and it doesn't matter to her whether she can pass the Gongshi exam.
But this beating board is not something Zhao Xin can bear, not that Zhao Xin can't stand the pain when he cane, but when he is tortured, he has to tear off his pants and expose his buttocks, which is very embarrassing for a girl.
Not only that, once Zhao Xin's identity as a woman is discovered, then the consequences are very serious, if it is regarded as a crime of defrauding the king, not only will she die, but also the people of the Zhao family.
Therefore, when Zhao Xin mentioned Dengwengu, Li Hongyu's heart was quite shocked, you must know that if something goes wrong, Zhao Xinke will be in big trouble!
