(

"Lu Shaojie, this official asks you, have you and Xiao Hou sent these two women's fabrics?" Sure enough, Du Yuncheng also noticed that Lu Shaojie was lying, and asked with a sneer, this lie is really unnecessary, it seems to be trying to cover up, but it is suspicious.

At this time, the officials present remembered that Liu Wenqing had said that she had seen Lu Shaojie and Gu Xijiao in the Lu family's cloth village, and the two wanted to give her silk fabric, but she refused.

In this way, how could Lu Shaojie not know Liu Wenqing? Isn't this the absence of three hundred taels of silver here?

"Big ...... Adults, villains really don't know these two girls, there are many women who go to the villain's house every day to buy fabrics, and it is impossible for everyone to remember the villain. Lu Shaojie's face suddenly showed a panicked and chaotic look, and he hurriedly denied it.

His reaction was immediately seen by everyone, which made it clear that he was a thief and must be lying.

Li Yuntian stared at Lu Shaojie with a stern expression, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

He found that although the look on Lu Shaojie's face looked panicked, his eyes were surprisingly calm, without the slightest panic, which meant that what this guy was doing now was just acting.

As for why Lu Shaojie did this, Li Yuntian had already guessed the reason, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, those who commit adultery will have a woman without a husband with a cane of eighty, and a woman with a husband with a cane of ninety.

If Lu Shaojie admits that he knows Liu Wenqing as soon as he comes up, then it seems that there is nothing between the two, and the more he denies it now, the more he gives the outside world the illusion of trying to hide the relationship with Liu Wenqing.

I have to say that the hand of the Hou Yefu is really high, and with the trial of the case, it is logical to label Liu Wenqing as a "" and a "woman".

Of course, Lu Shaojie definitely doesn't want to be scolded by the cane, in that case, if he doesn't die, he will shed his skin, he must have a way to get out, otherwise he will definitely not appear so calm.

Li Yuntian had already thought of why Lu Shaojie was so calm and calm at this time, according to the charges that the Hou Ye Mansion had given Liu Wenqing at present, if Liu Wenqing had private affairs with many men, then her behavior would undoubtedly be a secret prostitute.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the identity of the woman in the adulterer is the "woman" of a good family, excluding the "prostitute".

Once it is proved that Lu Shaojie and Liu Wenqing had an affair, then Liu Wenqing's fornication with other men was indirectly confirmed by the testimony of those witnesses, and Lu Shaojie naturally escaped the charge of adultery.

And Liu Wenqing not only became a prostitute 'woman' who could be a husband, but more importantly, she confirmed the fact that she ** and killed Gu Xi, so that Hou Yefu not only avenged Gu Xi, but also maintained the face of Gu Xi and Hou Yefu, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Just as Li Yuntian thought, the previous witnesses and exhibits were just a few "appetizers", and Lu Shaojie was the "main meal" in Liu Wenqing's case, as long as this "main meal" was "eaten", all the plans of the Hou Ye Mansion would be in vain.

"Lu Shaojie, this official reminds you, do you know that the official of the Liu family will conduct an interrogation from the people around you, once the official finds out that you are lying, then he will be severely punished!" Du Yuncheng saw that Lu Shaojie was still denying it, so he shouted expressionlessly.

"Villain...... The villain ......" Lu Shaojie seemed to be frightened by Du Yuncheng's words, and stammered there speechless, although there was no sweat on his forehead, he still wiped it with his sleeves, looking extremely anxious.

"Someone, pass on the people who are close to Lu Shaojie in Lu Jibu Village." Seeing this situation, Du Yuncheng's eyes couldn't help but "revea" a trace of disgust, he had tried the case for many years, how could he not see that Lu Shaojie's reaction at this time was pretending, so he reached out and took out a order from the lottery holder and threw it out.

"Adult, the villain knows Miss Liu." Lu Shaojie seemed to be startled when he heard this, and hurriedly opened his mouth to admit it, shouting at Du Yuncheng.

"Lu Shaojie, why did you just say that you didn't know the Liu family, if you don't give this official an explanation, then this official will let you taste the board of Shuntian Mansion!" Du Yuncheng sneered and said coldly.

"The big ones, the little ones have difficulties." Lu Shaojie couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and explained, "Yesterday, the villain heard that Miss Liu killed the little marquis of Anyi Houfu, and the villain was afraid of being implicated, so he concealed it. ”

"How do you know that the Liu clan killed the little marquis?" Du Yuncheng's brows furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice.

The news of Gu Xi's murder is now tightly sealed, and even Liu Wenqing's neighbors only know that the Liu family is dead, but they don't know who the deceased is, and Lu Shaojie's level should not be able to access such a secret news. [27915671 ruling the Ming Dynasty] 279 ruling the Ming Dynasty 281

"Villain...... The villain listened to the words of those who watched the excitement in front of Liu's house. Lu Shaojie was stunned for a moment, his expression became more and more flustered, and then he found an excuse.

"Lu Shaojie, this official sues you, there are very few people who know about Liu's case now, it seems that this official doesn't give you a little bit of power, and you will not be honest with your people."

Hearing this, Du Yuncheng sneered with disdain at the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to point at Lu Shaojie, and shouted loudly, "Come on, give this official a heavy responsibility for thirty boards!" ”

Hearing this, several station officials immediately rushed up and pressed Lu Shaojie to the ground.

"Adult, the villain is guilty, and the villain knows that the little Hou Ye went to find Miss Liu on the night of the crime, so he knows that the person who killed the Liu family is the little Hou Ye!" Lu Shaojie was taken aback when he saw this, his eyes couldn't help but panic, he didn't expect Du Yuncheng to hit his own board when he said that he would fight, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"How did you know this?" Du Yuncheng waved his hand at the few officials who held down Lu Shaojie, and those officials retreated.

"My lord, don't hide it, the villain also has some friendship with the little marquis on weekdays, the afternoon before the incident, the little marquis once told the villain, and he wanted to go to Miss Liu to enjoy a painting of Wu Daozi at night."

Lu Shaojie steadied his mind for a moment, and said in an orderly manner, "Yesterday, the villain went to the Hou Ye's Mansion to find the little Hou Ye, but the people in the Hou Mansion said that the little Hou Ye went far away, and the villain knew that something was wrong." ”

Hearing this, the officials present immediately turned their heads to each other, didn't Lu Shaojie's confession confirm that Liu Wenqing invited Gu Xi to go to enjoy the painting?

"Lu Gongzi, don't listen to the words of the little marquis, where is there any Wu Daozi's painting in my young lady? How could he invite the little marquis to his home to enjoy the paintings? ”

Zhu'er was immediately anxious when she heard this, and couldn't help but say to Lu Shaojie, trying her best to maintain Liu Wenqing's innocence.

Li Yuntian shook his head secretly, Zhu'er hadn't understood at this time, Lu Shaojie was a witness found by the Hou Yefu to frame Liu Wenqing, so he naturally wanted to slander Liu Wenqing.

"Miss Zhu'er, my son is telling the truth, if it weren't for Miss Liu's sue to the little marquis, how would the little marquis know that the painting "A Hundred Flowers Compete for Spring" is in Miss Liu?" Lu Shaojie suddenly sighed when he heard this, and said helplessly.

"A Hundred Flowers for Spring"? My lady has never painted like that! Zhu'er was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks flushed, and she argued in a coquettish voice.

"Lu Shaojie, do you also know "A Hundred Flowers for Spring"?" Du Yuncheng's brows furrowed a few times, and he asked quietly.

"My lord, I can't hide it, "A Hundred Flowers for Spring" was given to Miss Liu by the villain." Lu Shaojie hesitated for a moment, looking a little hesitant, and then spoke.

"Master Lu, you and my young lady have only met once in Buzhuang, when did you give my young lady "A Hundred Flowers for Spring"?" Hearing this, Zhu'er immediately retorted in a coquettish voice, and even her neck was flushed with excitement, and she could see that she was very excited.

"Miss Zhu'er, now that "A Hundred Flowers for Spring" is with the adults, my son really can't hide it anymore." Lu Shaojie said to Zhu'er helplessly, and then looked at Du Yuncheng, "My lord, the villain has been shocked since he saw Miss Liu, so he gave Miss Liu this "Hundred Flowers Fighting for Spring" that he treasured on weekdays. ”

"You...... You're lying. Zhu'er's face suddenly became a little pale, and she looked at Lu Shaojie in surprise, she didn't expect that Lu Shaojie would frame Liu Wenqing, and soon she came back to her senses and defended to Du Yuncheng in a loud voice, "My lord, my young lady is not related to him, and she only has one side, how can she accept his gift?" ”

Li Yuntian looked at the scene in front of him silently, and was a little surprised by Liu Wenqing's reaction, although Liu Wenqing was framed by Lu Shaojie, but at this time, she knelt there calmly, the expression on her face was not shocked, and she couldn't see any panic.

"Lu Shaojie, what is your relationship with the Liu family? Why did you give her such a valuable gift, and how could she accept this generous gift from you? Du Yuncheng glanced at the excited Zhu'er, and asked Lu Wenjie in a deep voice.

"Villain...... The villain ......" Lu Shaojie's face showed a look of embarrassment when he heard this, and he was slurring there, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Master, he is the man who left the Liu family's house last time I met the people's 'woman'." At this moment, Zhao, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly spoke, pointed at Lu Shaojie and said.

"Sir, this person is the concubine of the Liu family."

"Master Yu, the people's women have also seen him, and he often goes to Liu's house to spend the night."

Subsequently, the Gao family and the Qin family spoke one after another and testified against Lu Shaojie together.

"You ...... You ......" Zhu'er stayed there for a moment when she heard this, looking at the three Gao family with a stunned face, never expecting them to spew blood and slander Liu Wenqing.

"Do you see that?" Li Yuntian groaned for a moment, and said to the three Gao clans with a stern expression, "It's about the innocence of the Liu clan, and this official advises you to take a closer look." ”

"My lord, the people's 'woman' saw clearly at that time, it was he who left the Liu family's house." Zhao didn't think about it when he heard this, and replied with an oath.

The Qin family and the Gao family also played the package ticket, saying that they had seen Lu Shaoming enter the Liu family many times, and they would never recognize the wrong person.

Seeing that the three of them were so sure, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but flash a wry smile, he just gave them a chance to reduce their guilt, as long as they were smart and didn't see it clearly, and didn't get involved with Lu Shaojie, then the guilt would be smaller.

Otherwise, if he finds out that Lu Shaojie and the Liu family have nothing to do with each other, then these three "women" will not be able to eat and walk around, and the slanderers will sit back, and they will be punished with 80 rods according to the punishment for the crime of "adultery".

What is particularly important is that this is not a single case of "adultery", it also involves the life of Gu Xi, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of false accusation is to be punished by one degree, that is to say, the three "women" will not only have to be punished, but also have to be exiled for a thousand miles, and then they will not even have time to cry
