Chapter 370: Coerced Confession
Lu Duoxun's head had always been confused, and at this time, he finally woke up from the drug, and realized that something was wrong. Holding the jar and kneeling, he wanted to kowtow but couldn't, and said with a red face: "Queen Mother, Weichen is wronged!" Weichen must have been framed, Weichen was originally at the behest of Niangniang, and read the folds in the study, but he was fascinated, and he woke up here, and he was given an aphrodisiac, so he asked Niangniang to be the master. ”
Hua Rui laughed angrily: "Looking for you to say this, this palace asked you to help review the folds, but it hurt you?" ”
"No, no! Wechen had no such intention. Wechen just said that he was framed......"
Li Zhaoyan immediately stepped forward and smacked him fiercely: "Phew! You silver thief! is plain and sanctimonious, but in fact, men and women are prostitutes! lived up to the trust of Hua Rui Niangniang in you, and even used this opportunity to hook up with Concubine Li De, a slut! The silver chaos harem, and the face to say that he was wronged! ”
Wang Xiuyi and other concubines also echoed one after another, chirping and insulting them while spitting at them. Harem life is boring, and with such an incident, these concubines feel particularly excited, and they are so excited that their faces are flushed.
Hua Rui said coldly to Concubine Li Defei and Lu Duoxun: "Can you two confess?" ”
Concubine Li Defei said viciously: "I confess? I'll report your plot to the official's house! The official family will naturally administer justice to me! ”
Lu Duosun hugged the jar with a bitter face, and said that he was wronged.
Hua Rui Tie blushed and said coldly: "Someone! ”
Sun Qi stepped forward and bowed: "The slave is here!" ”
"Escort the two of them and the Chunxiang at the door to the trial court, and hand them over to Lord Leng for punishment! Report the results of the processing to the main palace! ”
Li Zhaoyan and the others originally thought that Hua Rui would take care of the face of the harem, and at most handed over Concubine Li De to the Dazong Zhengsi, who specializes in dealing with the illegal crimes of royal family members. Unexpectedly, it was directly handed over to the newly established trial court. But after thinking about it, it's right, the official family has already said before the expedition that the trial court not only investigates and punishes hundreds of officials, but also investigates and punishes internal and external women. Therefore, it is also right to send it directly to the trial court. Moreover, once it is sent to the trial court, it is impossible to cover up the matter. There is no possibility of covering it up. Such a result. For Zhao Guangyi's concubine Li Zhaoxi, this is the best result, if it is not done well, Concubine Li De will have to be given death, and if it is the worst, she will also be abolished as a concubine and put in the cold palace. I couldn't help but smile at the moment. Stamens do so. must have been angry by Concubine Li Defei's words, so he made such a ruthless move.
Sun Qi took the palace maid and eunuch to twist the two out.
Hua Rui turned to the concubines and said, "Today's affairs need a sister to write down the experience, let's sign and testify, and transfer the testimony to the trial court." Which sister would like to write? ”
This is a good opportunity to curry favor with Queen Blossom, how do these concubines not know. hurriedly said that they would write by themselves, and in the end, Hua Rui still chose Zhaorong Liu, the first emperor Zhao Kuangyin, to write it, which seemed more fair. After writing, all the concubines signed and testified on it.
After doing this, let the two eunuchs send them to the trial court.
Li Zhaoyan said to Hua Rui: "Sister, these two brutes have made it dirty here!" Are we still meeting here? ”
Blossom smiled wryly, "I don't have this interest in having fun here." Otherwise, let's go to the garden of the main palace, which is not as spacious as the Imperial Garden, but it is very clean. How is it? ”
Liu Zhaorong smiled and said: "Sister's Funing Palace Garden is no worse than the Imperial Garden, it was originally good, and the official family expanded and rebuilt, planting peonies and red gardenias. The scenery is even more beautiful than the Imperial Garden! Let's go to my sister's! ”
All the concubines applauded.
—————————
Leng Yi returned to the mansion, woke up Meng Hua, and asked him to go back.
Not long after, the trial court came to report that Concubine Li De and Lu Duoxun were annihilated in the imperial garden of the palace and were arrested red-handed by the queen mother and other concubines. Transferred to the Criminal Court. Ask how to deal with it.
Leng Yi immediately took Yin Vulture and the escort team to the trial court.
The office space of the trial court in the Juying Hall of the Imperial Palace has been handed over, and it is fully equipped. There are dedicated interrogation rooms and full-time interrogators.
Leng Yi asked two fierce female officials to interrogate Concubine Li Defei and the palace maid Chunxiang, while he personally interrogated Lu Duoxun.
When Ludosun was twisted. He was still naked, chubby like a fat pig that had been shaved. Tie your hands and kneel on the ground.
Seeing Leng Yi, Lu Duoxun said with a sad face: "Lord Leng, I was framed." Truly, be your master! ”
Leng Yi sneered: "You and Concubine Li De were annihilated, so many concubines were caught on the spot." You also said that you were wronged, and it seems that you will not be punished without moving. - Yin Vulture, I'll leave it to you! ”
With that, Leng Yi walked away and waited for news in his office.
After a while, a subordinate came in to report that Concubine Li Defei and the palace maid Chunxiang had already confessed and submitted their confessions. Leng Yi saw it, and sure enough, Concubine Li Defei confessed that she was seduced by Lu Duoxun and had been annihilated with her many times. Haruka is outside the door. In addition, she was also forced to ask about the fact that she colluded with the imperial doctor Hua Mingzun to poison Concubine Li Xian to death when she was sick.
Leng Yi has already roughly learned about this matter from Huang Zhaoyi, and now that it is verified, he is even more happy, in this way, Hua Mingzun will definitely not escape death, and the nude painting he promised her Xiao Zhouhou will not have to be fulfilled.
He is not a person who does not believe in his words, it's just that this flower is too dirty, and exchanging Xiao Zhouhou's nude paintings for medical skills is really something that Leng Yi doesn't want to do and has to do. Now this result is the best.
Leng Yi instructed his subordinates to take the confessions of Concubine Li Defei and Chunxiang to Yin Ying, so that Lu Duoxun could be forced to confess according to the above content.
Yin Ying's methods were really extraordinary, and it didn't take long for Lu Duoxun to confess, according to what Concubine Li Defei and Chunxiang said.
At this time, Leng Yi returned to the interrogation room.
Lu Duosun was horrified by Yin Ying's torture.
Leng Yi sat down behind the interrogation table and said, "In addition to this matter, do you have any other crimes?" ”
Ludosun groaned in pain: "No ......"
"None?" Leng Yi sneered, "Song Qi, Dang Jin, Wu Peixiang, you are preparing to rebel with Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi, don't you know that you are the official?" ”
Lu Duoxun was shocked when he heard this, kowtowed, and said: "This is nothing, Lord Leng, we are loyal to the official family, how can we rebel." King Qi is the younger brother of the official family, and it is impossible to rebel! ”
Leng Yi took out the confessions of Song Qi and Dang Jin, and threw them in front of him: "See for yourself!" ”
Ludosun's hands were tied. There was no way to read it, so Yin Vultures picked it up and flipped a few pages for him to see. Lu Duoxun's face was suddenly pale.
Leng Yi said: "What else do you have to distinguish?" I warn you, the evidence is conclusive, and if you still want to deny it, then you will only be punished! Do you still want to try it? ”
Lu Duosun shook his head gloomily and said, "I ......." I confess ......"
At that moment, Lu Duoxun told them everything about the rebellion they were preparing to rebel with Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi. and confessed to the armory envoy Zhao Tingjun and his henchman Zhao Bai and several other accomplices. It's just that Zhao Tingmei is very cautious, and most of them are one-line contacts, so Lu Duoxun confessed. It's just that the officials of the imperial court, the generals of the forbidden army, he doesn't know much.
Leng Yi got the list and immediately assigned the soldiers of the trial court to arrest him.
After being arrested, after interrogation, they all confessed.
Leng Yi immediately drafted an urgent document. Together with Concubine Li Defei's confession, the two things were reported to the official Zhao Guangyi.
After dealing with this matter, it was already evening.
Leng Yi returned home with the escort.
Zhuo Qiaoniang and the other women were talking in the house, and when they saw him come in, they hurriedly got up to greet him. Seeing their solemn expressions, Leng Yi asked curiously, "What's wrong?" It was fine before, some talked and laughed. ”
Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled reluctantly and said, "We heard about it." The matter of Concubine Li Defei and Lu Duoxun. As a concubine, Concubine Li De still does this kind of thing, which really makes people sigh. ”
Leng Yi said: "Okay, don't talk about them, today is the Qixi Festival, we should have a good holiday." ”
Hua Wuxiang said: "Exactly, what are you doing to say these depressing things!" Let's go! Go to the back garden. The troupe is here, and the show is about to start! Old lady and lady, they are all here! I'm just waiting for you, brother! ”
So, the group of people came to the back garden.
Sure enough, the old lady Leng Bei and they were already sitting under the stage. Eating melons and fruits, he laughed. Seeing him coming, Leng Bei beckoned: "Yi'er, come and sit here!" ”
Leng Yi's seat was arranged in the middle of the front, next to the old lady Leng Bei and his father Leng Shan and his mother, and Zhuo Qiaoniang and they were arranged in the back rows.
Servants stood on either side. On the high platform, the red lantern is hung high, and there is already a pianist tuning the drums.
After Leng Yi sat down, the housekeeper saw that everyone had arrived and ordered the show to start.
Leng Yi, who is used to watching modern film and television dramas, naturally has little interest in this kind of babbling drama in ancient times. However, he pretended to watch with great interest, and discussed a few words with the old lady from time to time.
It was late at night, and the congregation ended.
After sending away the troupe, he began to beg for activities, which was to test the needle and lead under the starry sky. As a result, it was naturally the most ingenious grass spike that won the first place. At the moment, Leng Yi will award the award.
After the begging activity, the girls were not happy, so Leng Yi asked the old lady to go back to the house to rest first, and he accompanied the girls to eat wine and watch the stars on the grass in the back garden.
During the day, it was still overcast, but at night, the sky turned clearer. But there is no moon, only a sky full of stars.
Leng Yi and the other girls had already drunk a lot when they watched the play before, and now they drank again, and they were all a little drunk, and they fell crookedly on the grass by the pond, looking at the stars and talking.
Starry, a Milky Way across the entire night sky, Hua Wuxiang pointed to the Cowherd Star and Vega Star on both sides of the Milky Way, and said, "Look, are they meeting?" ”
Cao Sui said: "I can't see where the magpie bridge is." Do you see that? ”
Cheng Luojie said: "We are all mortals, where can we see the magpie bridge." ”
Cheng Luoyan lay beside Leng Yi, touched him, and said, "Official, you say, this Cowherd and Weaver Girl, where do they meet in the Milky Way?" ”
Leng Yi pointed to the stars of the Milky Way and said, "They must be bathing in the Milky Way, and they are so white!" ”
"Nasty!" Cheng Luoyan slapped him lightly, "That's what you're thinking about!" ”
Leng Yi said: "This is strange, they only see each other once a year, if they don't do something, it's not a loss!" ”
Sister Cheng Luojie and Zhuo Qiaoniang giggled, the grass ears were scratched with scarlet faces, Hua Wuxiang was still young, she couldn't understand what they were saying, she sat up, and looked at them with wide eyes: "What are you doing?" ”
Cheng Luojie and the others laughed even more happily.
Hua Wuxiang turned her head to look at Xiao Zhouhou who was lying next to her: "Madam, what did they say?" What did the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl do after taking a bath in the Milky Way? ”
Xiao Zhouhou smiled lightly and said, "When you get married, you'll know." ”
Hua Wuxiang knew that they were talking about that kind of thing, and her face suddenly turned red, and she said, "Phew! Bully! Not serious! ”
Leng Yi laughed, looked at Xiao Zhouhou, his arms resting on his head, and looked at the stars. said: "Nuying, what are you thinking?" ”
Xiao Zhouhou woke up as if in a dream, smiled reluctantly, and said, "No! Didn't think about anything. ”
Hua Wuxiang said: "No! Sister Ying must be thinking about her husband! ”
Everyone stopped laughing and looked at each other one by one. Xiao Zhouhou's husband, Li Yu, was exiled to Lingnan. On the Qixi Festival when the Cowherd and Weaver Girl met, she missed her husband who was far away in the sky, which was a matter of course.
Xiao Zhouhou didn't deny it, sighed, and said, "What's the use of thinking?" I'm afraid that I won't be able to see each other in this life. ”
When Leng Yi heard this, his heart couldn't help but sink. Historically, Li Yu was poisoned to death by Zhao Guangyi on the day of the Qixi Festival. I just don't know if this history will really be staged. If this is really the case, at this moment, I am afraid that Li Yu is dead.
At this moment, Hua Wuxiang exclaimed in surprise: "Look! Meteor! ”
Sure enough, a meteor sped diagonally past the Milky Way and disappeared on the other side of the Milky Way.
"Make a wish," Hua Wuxiang exclaimed, "Before the meteor disappears, the wish will definitely come true!" - It's too late! ”
As she spoke, the meteor vanished.
Hua Wuxiang turned her head and saw Xiao Zhouhou praying silently, and said strangely: "It turns out that Sister Ying knows, she moves quickly, she must have made a wish,—— what wish did she make?" Can we tell us about it? ”
Xiao Zhou did not speak. Still with his eyes closed.
Zhuo Qiaoniang got up and walked to her side and lay down on the grass, and said, "Needless to say, naturally I will be able to see her husband earlier." Right? Female Ying. ”
Xiao Zhouhou opened his eyes and smiled at her.
Seeing him like this, Hua Wuxiang felt a little dull, so she wanted to change the topic and said to Leng Yi: "Old brother, you are only eight years old, you are rich in five cars, and your poetry and songs are a must. ”
All the women clapped their hands in agreement. Xiao Zhouhou also looked at him expectantly.
Leng Yi thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll be ugly." ”
Leng Yi had already thought about which poem to copy, pretending to be a deep groan, pacing by the lake with his hands behind his back, and only after a long time did he look up at the starry sky and chant slowly:
