Chapter 231: Washing away grievances

(Recommended reading: "Lord Fu Yin, this must be fake, they must have colluded to deliberately distort the results of the inspection, how can Li Jieyuan's fiancée and personal maid still be virgins?"

After the initial shock, He Yu came back to his senses, and hurriedly said loudly to Sun Xiang in the lobby with his hands on the ground, "Please be aware of the adults and give justice to the small people." ”

The scene then fell silent, and people looked at Sun Xiang in unison, wanting to see how things would develop next.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin suddenly sneered in their hearts when they heard this, it was precisely because they expected that He Yu would cheat, so they asked Sun Xiang to select five women from the people who heard the trial to supervise.

"Lord Fu Yin, I came to inspect on the orders of the emperor, and we must not dare to deceive, otherwise it will be a crime of deception." Hearing this, the two palace ladies bowed to Sun Xiang and said, "Your Excellency, I will ask the witnesses present to see if what we are saying is the truth." ”

"The officer asked you, since you are inspecting on the spot, have you experienced the results?" Hearing this, Sun Xiang looked at the five middle-aged women who were elected by the people to supervise the hearing, and asked quietly.

"Back to the mansion, Master Yin, according to the on-site inspection of the people's women and others, Li Jieyuan's fiancée and personal maid are indeed untouched, and they are virgins."

The five middle-aged women glanced at each other, and then a middle-aged woman with a somewhat fat figure bowed to Sun Xiang and said helplessly, because she was not the person involved in the case, but assisted the yamen in doing things, so she didn't have to kneel.

Li Hongyu recognized this fat middle-aged woman, who had just helped He Yu and the Yang couple take care of their three daughters in the crowd, and presumably they were close neighbors, and her testimony was undoubtedly more convincing.

Sure enough, He Yu's face turned pale in an instant when he heard this, if there were only those two palace stable women and Shuntian Mansion stable women, he could still say that the other party was cheating, but now there were five witnesses present, including a fat middle-aged woman, he couldn't say that those five witnesses were also lying!

With a bang, the scene was in a commotion again, and the people were talking to each other with surprised expressions, never expecting that things would change so bizarrely.

Yang and Zheng's faces were bloodless at this time, and their bodies trembled involuntarily, the facts are very clear by now, Li Hongyu is not a lustful person, so how can he be a **** them? It's a question that even a fool can figure out.

"Yang, Zheng, this official asks you, do you have anything to say about this?" Sun Xiang knew that the overall situation had been decided, so his face sank, and he slapped the shocked wood hard and shouted at the Yang and Zheng families, ready to end this farce that alarmed the Wanli Emperor.

"Folk women...... The woman ......" The Yang and Zheng clans were suddenly frightened, and they stammered and couldn't speak, but looked at He Yu as if asking for help.

It's a pity that He Yu can't do anything now, he is already messed up at this time, no matter what, he would never have thought that Qin Yue and Rou'er had not been touched by Li Hongyu yet.

Looking at He Yu, who was pale and sweating profusely, the corners of Li Hongyu's mouth couldn't help but flash a sneer of disdain, it was obvious that He Yu was just a chess piece at the mercy of others, his words and deeds in the court had been arranged in advance, and once an unplanned emergency occurred, he would definitely be at a loss and in chaos.

"Say, Who is the adulterer?" Seeing that the Yang family and the Zheng family were speechless for a while, Sun Xiang slapped the shocked wood again, pointed at the Yang family and shouted, "Do you have to force this official to use a big punishment on you?" ”

"My lord, Yang is pregnant, so it is not appropriate to punish him?" At this time, Yang Hao, who was standing on the side of the public hall, spoke quietly.

Saying that, Yang Hao glanced at Zhao Xin, his words were naturally Zhao Xin instructed him to say this before, as for the purpose, he didn't know, but obviously it was not just sympathetic to the Yang family.

"Slandering the examiner, disturbing the holy driver, the crime is unforgivable, if he does not honestly confess the guilt, then the official can only use a heavy punishment against him."

Sun Xiang sneered when he heard this, stared at the trembling Yang with a cold expression and said, In ancient times, there was no provision that a female prisoner could not be punished if she was pregnant, and whether to use the punishment was all up to the presiding judge.

If the case is not important, then the presiding judge will usually open the net and wait for the female prisoner to give birth before imposing a heavy punishment, but once the case is serious, then no presiding judge will mercifully wait for the female prisoner to give birth.

As for how the fetus in the womb of the female prisoner can only be blamed on the female prisoner herself, in the eyes of the people, this is the evil of the female prisoner herself, and has nothing to do with the official who presides over the trial.

Li Hongyu glanced at He Yu, who was kneeling beside him, and saw that He Yu's face became extremely ugly after learning that Sun Xiang was preparing to punish Yang, and his face was full of worry.

Seeing this situation, Li Hongyu couldn't help but shake his head secretly, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, although He Yu hatefully became an accomplice who was framed by others, but he still cared about the fetus in Yang's womb, although this was related to Yang Hao's assertion that Yang's pregnancy was a male fetus, but it also revealed the nature of fatherly love.

"Come on, scold the Yang family's thirty boards, the official wants to see how hard her mouth is!" Seeing that the Yang family was silent, Sun Xiang sneered, took out a order from the lottery holder on the table in front of him and threw it to the ground, and shouted, "This official doesn't believe that he can't find that adulterer!" ”

As the order slip fell to the ground with a click, several wolf-like servants immediately rushed up, dragged Yang to the front of the hall and pressed her to the ground, and took off her pants to her knees with three strokes and five divisions.

Of course, the government's beating of the board has to be slapped on the buttocks, and there is also a sense of humiliation in it, how can the inmate be tortured in pants? Who bears the responsibility if there is something in the pants?

With a snap, in front of everyone's eyes, an errand officer picked up the water and fire stick in his hand and hit Yang's buttocks hard, and a blood mark immediately appeared, so painful that Yang couldn't help but scream.

Immediately afterwards, the errand officer standing on the other side of the Yang clan immediately dropped the water and fire stick in his hand, and the Yang clan screamed again.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zheng's body collapsed to the ground as soon as he became weak, Sun Xiang even hit the Yang family, let alone her? Just watching Yang's torture made her tremble, if the water and fire stick hit her body, wouldn't it hurt to death.

"Lord Fu Yin, don't fight, the villain is willing to recruit, the villain is willing to recruit."

Seeing Zheng collapsed, He Yu's face showed a look of despair, he knew that the general trend had gone, it was obvious that Zheng's psychological defense line had collapsed, and he would definitely confess truthfully later, so when he saw that the messenger picked up the water and fire stick and was about to hit the third board of the Yang family, he subconsciously pounced on it, and shouted to Sun Xiang after protecting the Yang family.

"Say, who is the fetus in Yang's womb?" Hearing this, Sun Xiang waved his hand at the execution officer to stop the punishment, and then looked at He Yu quietly and asked.

"Back to ...... Back to Lord Yin, the villain is pregnant with ...... It's the flesh and blood of the villain! He Yu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and replied.

Hearing this, there was an uproar at the scene, not only the people who heard the trial, but even Sun Xiang and the three officials of the three law divisions in the hall were quite surprised, they never expected that the child conceived by the Yang family turned out to be He Yu's.

"What the hell is going on?" Sun Xiang patted the startled wood to silence the noisy scene, and then stared at He Yu expressionlessly and asked.

"Back to Lord Yin, someone gave the villain a sum of money and asked the villain to frame Li Jieyuan." He Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, knelt on the ground and touched his head to the ground, and told the story of the incident one by one.

It turned out that in mid-October last year, He Yu lost a lot of money in the casino, and when the thugs in the casino were viciously forcing him to pay debts, a **** gangster named Brother Hu pointed out a clear way for him and asked him to help him do one thing, not only to avoid the gambling debt, but also to get a thousand taels of silver afterwards, and arrange for them to live in Jiangnan.

As soon as He Yu, who was cornered, heard that there was such a good thing, he naturally agreed to it, and pies would not fall from the sky, so since he could get such a high remuneration, things would definitely not be simple, and he needed to exchange the name of He Yu's wife Yang.

He Yu persuaded the Yang family on the grounds that he had life worries, so that the Yang family agreed to cooperate without conscience, and then He Yu went to Zhending Mansion, and was arranged to sneak back quietly and sleep with Yang for about ten days a few years ago, and rushed back to Zhending Mansion before Chinese New Year's Eve for the New Year.

Since Brother Hu didn't tell He Yu what to do, it wasn't until he came back from Zhending Mansion at the beginning of this month that He Yu knew that what Brother Hu wanted him to do was to frame Li Hongyu in Huguang Township to try to solve Yuan.

Although he was jealous in his heart, He Yu had no choice, otherwise he would not only not get paid, but he would also be forced into debt by the casino, and he would be killed by Brother Tiger even if he lost his life.

So, He Yu went to Daxing County Ya on the afternoon of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to sue Li Hongyu according to Brother Hu's request, and then Li Hongyu was imprisoned in the Daxing County Ya Prison.

"Min...... The women's husband was also greedy for money and agreed to Brother Hu, but the woman failed to conceive a child, so the husband of the woman did not come back from other places. ”

After He Yu finished explaining, the Zheng family, who was paralyzed on the ground, came back to his senses, and hurriedly kowtowed to Sun Xiang, "The eldest lord spares his life, the eldest lord spares his life!" ”

The people who were hearing the trial outside the hall shook their heads and sighed secretly when they heard this, who would have thought that the Yang family and the Zheng family, who looked like victims, would actually frame Li Hongyu, if it weren't for Qin Yue and Rou'er being virgins, then Li Hongyu would have been wronged.

Li Hongyu stood there expressionlessly, although He Yu and the others were hateful, his enemy was the initiator of the case, and the other party actually made him almost ruined, so he must avenge this revenge, he wanted to let the outside world know that provoking him would pay a heavy price, only in this way would outsiders be jealous and dare not offend him easily.

In the afternoon, the Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, this is how the case happened, now to find out that Li Jieyuan was killed by a traitor, the minister has sent someone to arrest that 'Tiger Brother', how should the rest of the people involved in the case be handled?"

After Sun Xiang reported the progress of the court trial to Emperor Wanli, who was sitting on the warm couch, he bowed down and asked for instructions, this case is a royal case, and how to punish the relevant people involved in the case, such as He Yu and Yang's and Zheng's, will naturally be shown by Emperor Wanli.

The three jurors of the Three Law Divisions stood at the head of Sun Xiang, waiting for the Wanli Emperor to adjudicate the case.

"Come on, spread my will, and send Li Jieyuan and Zhao Yayuan to the Gongyuan Academy to take the exam!"

Emperor Wanli pondered for a moment when he heard this, and after putting down the file in his hand, he first ordered the chamberlain who was standing on the side, and then said to Sun Xiang in a deep voice, "Although the He couple and others are only coerced, they almost ruined my imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, and the crime is unforgivable!" Therefore, the He family hanged and decided, the Yang family and the Zheng family were decided, and the rest of the people were punished according to the law and the crime was punished by one degree. ”

"Obey." Sun Xiang bowed down when he heard this, and replied loudly, it could be seen that Emperor Wanli was quite annoyed by this matter, otherwise he would not have killed so many people at once, and he would usually open his eyes to show mercy.

However, He Yu had bad luck with the Yang family and the Zheng family, not only did Emperor Wanli appreciate Li Hongyu more, but also disturbed the examination during the examination, so he naturally had to be severely punished.

The three officials of the Three Law Divisions couldn't help but secretly glance at each other when they heard this, after the entrance examination was held, they were able to enter the Tribute Academy with the holy decree to take the examination, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin can be said to have broken the history of the Ming Imperial Examination, although they dare not say that there is no one who will come later, but no one will be able to do this for a long time.
