Chapter 388: Rumors

After getting Jing Zhaoyin's approval, the master took this confession and showed it to Kong.

Kong was also born in a scholarly family, and she can read and write, and when she saw the confession, she faintly felt that there was something wrong.

When her eyes fell on the last sentence of the confession, "caused several beggars to freeze to death", she trembled, as if she finally understood Jing Zhaoyin's intentions.

This is to make her bear the charge of murder!

Where can this Kong family be recognized!

She threw away the confession with a pale face, and kowtowed to Jing Zhaoyin: "My lord, my lord, this ...... The beggar was frozen to death, where can he complain about the people's women! The people's women, the people's women didn't kill anyone! ”

Jing Zhaoyin took a moment to say: "Who said you killed someone?" …… Kong, the official just said that you 'caused' several beggars to freeze to death. Is there something wrong with that? Or do you think the official is wrong?! ”

Kong's face turned pale, his lips moved, and his throat made a rapid inhalation sound, but he couldn't justify himself.

At this critical juncture, Kong was already completely flustered, and he didn't know how to defend himself.

Because the trial time of this case was very long, the people in the vicinity did not have any entertainment in winter, and the brazier in the yamen was well baked, so many people came to the gate of the yamen to watch the excitement.

They all talked about it:

“…… Yo, I heard that it's the daughter of the Pingguo Mansion? ”

"Isn't it, isn't there no concubine in the Pingguo Mansion? Could it be that she is the lady of which room? ”

"I don't know...... Hey, didn't you hear that this woman was so cruel that she was going to kill the other beggars because two beggars had killed her son...... It was cold, and those homeless beggars were already very pitiful, and it was also helpless to sleep in Yizhuang, and the woman was so vicious that she drove those beggars out of Yizhuang......"

"Oops! What a wickedness this is! Was Yizhuang opened by the Pingguo Mansion? How can the daughters of their family be like this......"

"I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, and they all say that the Pingguo Mansion has been defending the country for generations...... I see, too, a family without a conscience! ”

Ruan Er's elder Ruan Gang has been mixing in the crowd with Ruan Gang, listening to the discussions of these people in his ears, Ruan Gang really couldn't stop breaking down in a cold sweat.

Kong's affairs are small, but the reputation of the Pingguo Mansion is big!

He hurriedly pushed through the crowd, got some silver, and asked a messenger to go to the hall for him to spread a message.

The wealth was touching, and the yacha took the money, hid it in his sleeve, swallowed his saliva, and trotted all the way to the hall.

He whispered a few words to his master.

The master turned around and said a few words to Jing Zhaoyin.

"What!?" Jing Zhaoyin immediately changed color when he heard this, raised his voice, and looked righteous and awe-inspiring, "There are people from the Pingguo Mansion who openly bribe the Yacha, and want the official to put the Kong family on the face of the Pingguo Mansion?!" …… This is simply an insult to this official! Is this official the kind of person who has no shameless morality for the sake of money? This black gauze hat on the official's head is worn for the people, and he will definitely ask for his life for the people! Beggar, what's wrong with beggar? Beggars are also my people of Great Glory! I am also blessed by the heavenly grace of my Emperor Darong! The ladies of the Pingguo Mansion don't treat them as human lives, and this official can't! This official is stacking words here today! Kong's behavior of expelling people and causing them to freeze to death, but anyone with a conscience will not think that this is right! Kong's must be punished! ”

These righteous and righteous words were awe-inspiring and impassioned, which caused many onlookers to wet their eyes and cheer.

The beggars in the hall were even more moved to tears, and kowtowed to Jing Zhaoyin again and again, and the mountain called Jing Zhaoyin really the master of the blue sky.

One inside and one outside, two by two.

Ruan Gang in the crowd was colorless and pale.

Only then did he understand, Jing Zhaoyin, this is deliberately stumbling on the Pingguo Mansion......

Jing Zhaoyin looked at all this in front of him with satisfaction.

However, at this time, Kong's face was pale, he rolled his eyes, and fainted.

Someone outside shouted, "Splash her with cold water!" ”

This remark elicited a chorus of echoes.

Some people also shouted, "Pick up her clothes and throw her out, and let her freeze to death!" ”

This involves some more explicit associations. Many men laughed in understanding.

Jing Zhaoyin let the people below play freely, and he didn't shoot the wood.

It wasn't until later, when the call became louder and louder, that Jing Zhaoyin announced that Kong would be put in prison with the appearance of a good official who asked for the people's life, and the verdict of the case was announced on a later date.

……

The news outside spread like wings to the Pingguo Mansion.

The Anping Weng lord who is in charge of the middle feed is the first to know.

The always gentle and gentle Lord Anping Weng, for the first time, threw the teacup he was holding to the ground.

She was furious: "How can there be such unbearable rumors! ”

Words such as human face and beast heart, and viciousness have all been penetrated into the heads of the ladies of the Pingguo Mansion.

The one who said the news to the lord of Anping Weng was Xue Pozi who was purchased.

Xue Pozi's family is the son of the Pingguo Mansion, and the honor and disgrace are closely related to the Pingguo Mansion, she heard others gossiping when she was out in the wind and snow, she was still wondering, this is wind and snow, and there are people who come out to chatter...... Xue Pozi curiously leaned over and listened, her face turned white, and when she heard those people talking about the ladies of the Pingguo Mansion with ridicule and ridicule, Xue Pozi couldn't help it anymore, and after a big quarrel with the people, she hurried back to the Pingguo Mansion and told the news to the Lord of Anping.

Xue Pozi said hatefully: "It's all that Kong family, in the name of the daughter of the Pingguo Mansion, who did bad things outside, this is good, the people outside have poured the dirty water on the heads of our Pingguo Princess!" ”

Lord Anping Weng was so hateful in his heart that he almost wanted to bite the Kong family to death.

She is old, and she is from a royal noble, these words actually have not had a great impact on her.

But under her head, there are two daughters who are precious to her heart!

The eldest daughter, Ruan Zhiting, saw that she had reached the age of talking about her relatives, and if such an incident happened all of a sudden, the reputation of her daughter's family would be completely ruined!

For the first time, Lord Anping Weng was so anxious that he had no image and walked around the house.

However, she couldn't come up with any good ideas for anything.

Xue Pozi tried to propose to Lord Anping: "...... Our house says that the cousin is smart and clever, why don't you invite the cousin? After all, the cousin is now living in the Pingguo Mansion, and this filthy incident also has an impact on the cousin. ”

These words reminded the Lord of Anping.

Lord Anping Weng didn't want to use Fang Hanniang, she remembered that Fang Hanniang was now the same as the eleventh prince...... Something else! If those filthy words reach the ears of the prince, then ......

Lord Anping's expression changed greatly, and he immediately sent his henchman and mother-in-law to Fang Hanniang.

Fang Hanniang came quickly.

Because the henchman of Lord Anping Weng didn't say anything, only said that the princess was invited, Fang Hanniang didn't know what happened.

She walked into the room with a smile, and the owner of Anping immediately got up to greet her.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Fang Hanniang asked with a smile.

In fact, Fang Hanniang also had some bad premonitions in her heart.

After all, tonight's confession banquet is about to start, and if there are some unimportant things, you can leave the words to say at that time.

Fang Hanniang also knew that her eldest cousin-in-law had always been a proper and meticulous person, and she would not say a little trivial thing and call people in a hurry.

Speaking of which, it's the first time I've sent a henchman to invite her over in such a hurry.

Lord Anping Weng briefly said what Fang Cai Xue Pozi said to Fang Hanniang.

Although those dirty words were omitted by Lord Anping, and only briefly said a "not very good rumor", but Fang Hanniang is so smart that she can guess how ugly those words are.

The Pingguo Mansion is both prosperous and loss-oriented. The Kong family has lost people and made a fool of themselves outside, and those people who chew the root of their tongues outside will spare the other people in the Pingguo Mansion?

Fang Hanniang's expression sank.

Lord Anping Weng was a little anxious and said, "...... Han Niang, you have to be careful now, in case these words reach the ears of King Jin......"

Only then did Fang Hanniang know that Lord Anping Weng was worried about her and Ji Jinxing.

Fang Hanniang briefly explained: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. He...... I won't believe that. ”

She didn't have the heart to explain something to Lord Anping Weng now, Fang Hanniang paused and said, "Right now, the matter of the Kong clan is really a bit tricky. It doesn't matter if I respect the king...... But right now, both Xiangxiang and Miaomiao are discussing marriage, and as soon as this incident comes out, it is almost a devastating blow to the two of them. ”

Lord Anping almost cried when he heard this.

She naturally knew this, so she dropped a teacup out of control like that.

In fact, it's not just Ruan Zhiting and Ruan Zhilan, the female relatives have left a bad name, which will affect the girl's family in the entire mansion.

In addition to Ruan Zhiting, Ruan Zhilan, and three-year-old Ruan Zhixuan...... It is even said that Fang Zhiniang, who has just come to the capital, will have a good reputation and be affected by this incident!

Fang Hanniang was completely annoyed in her heart.

The last thing she can tolerate is for someone to hurt the family she cares about.

Fang Hanniang's eyebrows were heavy: "Sister-in-law, does the second uncle know about this?" ”

Lord Anping Weng was slightly stunned: "I'll ask people to inquire." ”

Fang Hanniang nodded, and said, "Sister-in-law, this matter, when the eldest cousin comes back, do you remember to tell the eldest cousin...... No, now sister-in-law, you can send someone to talk to your eldest cousin. Not only the eldest cousin, but also the eldest uncle......"

Even if you want to tell Grandpa Guo about this?

Lord Anping Weng was slightly stunned and a little hesitant.

She was taught that in the backyard, try not to trouble the men in the front yard.

Fang Hanniang's expression was very serious, and her voice was a little low: "Sister-in-law, this matter is not a trivial matter, and it is not just a matter of the back house. Think about it, with the status of our Pingguo Mansion, how could that Jing Zhaoyin not give the slightest rumor to our family and take the Kong family under the knife? ”

Lord Anping Weng was completely stunned.
