"You, what do you want to do!" Kong wanted to look more fierce, but her shaky body and inward-looking tone had betrayed her.

Qing He looked at Kong calmly.

"Do you really think that if you bite Second Mrs. An without any evidence, you will be able to do any harm to the Pingguo Mansion?" Qing He said bluntly, "Second Mrs. An has a fate. You, a commoner, have no evidence and no evidence, and you will be punished with a hundred sticks before suing the court. When the time comes, as long as someone buys the punishment, he will go to the vital point to beat him...... Are you sure you'll make it through? ”

Kong Shi shivered involuntarily.

Qing He didn't give Kong time to hesitate, he threw out his biggest chip.

"The owner of this brand ......" Qing He shook the sign in his hand, "I always thought that his sister got married after being expelled from the house, and now he is bent on taking the imperial examination and glorifying his ancestors." Are you sure you want to make a big deal out of this, so that your brother knows that the gentle and virtuous sister in his heart not only served as an outer room, but also went to prison because she took her life? ”

Qing He looked at Kong's unpredictable expression and paused.

Qinghe smiled incomprehensibly and added the last sentence: "Under what circumstances do you think I got this brand?" ”

Kong's eyes widened in horror, and his lips trembled slightly: "You...... You...... You don't want to hurt him......"

Qing He's eyes were faint, but in Kong's eyes, they were full of threat.

"It's up to you." Qing He said calmly.

Kong's hand was released from the prison pillar and fell to the dirty ground, big tears streaming down his face.

……

Because Kong's case was a beggar suing the "female dependents of the Pingguo Mansion", both high-ranking officials and ordinary people were interested. Although the trial was postponed, on the day of the official opening of the court, there were three floors inside and three floors outside, and there were a sea of people.

Even though the cold wind was miserable outside and the snow was fluttering, so many people couldn't feel how cold it was.

Jingzhao Yin Zhi was full of pride, he had already received the news quietly handed over by the prince of Rui, and it was vaguely mentioned that Princess Yujing had accepted his affection, and when his term of office reached next year, he could move up.

How does this make Jing Zhaoyin unhappy in his heart?

The little song is about to be hummed.

It's just that when he walked from the back door of the yamen to the front lobby, the master hurriedly walked in from outside, his face was a little ugly, and he held a letter tightly in his hand.

"My lord, your letter ......" Under the control of the master's efforts, the master's voice could be heard trembling a little.

Jing Zhaoyin glanced at the master strangely, and said a little impatiently: "What letter?" I'll see it when the official gets out of the court. ”

The master trembled again, and he couldn't help but think of the masked man's muffled threat that "handed" the letter to him:

“…… If you don't hand over this letter to Jing Zhaoyin before the opening of the court, your little lover of Yihong Mansion will make trouble at your house today. ”

I think of the Hedong lion at home...... The master cried with a sad face: "My lord, you must read this letter now." Otherwise, the villain will be finished. ”

Jing Zhaoyin frowned and took the letter.

The handwriting on the letter was a dignified small letter, Jing Zhaoyin glanced at it, and his first reaction was that the words were not bad.

Then as he continued reading, Jing Zhaoyin's face suddenly turned as white as snow.

There were a few detailed entries on it that he had accepted as Jing Zhaoyin in the past few years!

- No, that's more than that!

Even the few bribes he received when he was the prefect of Yangzhou came out little by little in the letter!

Although the bribes he accepted were more than these, and the amount was not too large, the letter was enough to make him lose the black gauze hat on his head!

On a cold winter day, Jing Zhaoyin's forehead was oozing fine and dense sweat.

The master has a lesson from the past, and when he saw that Jing Zhaoyin's face was like a blank piece of paper, he had some numbers in his heart, and this letter probably also wrote some Jing Zhaoyin's handles.

The master didn't dare to say more than half a word.

Jing Zhaoyin saw the end in horror, only to find that there was a sentence mentioning the purpose of the letter.

"Today's matter will be handled impartially."

Jing Zhaoyin finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's good to ask for something, it's good to ask for something.

Asking for something means that at the moment, these handles are just handles and will not become evidence in court.

In this way, he will have enough time to get hold of the man he has handled......

Jing Zhaoyin thought about it for a while, wait, what does the "today's matter" written on the letter mean?

He broke out in a cold sweat again.

There is only one thing at the beginning of today's court, and that is the case of a beggar suing Kong.

Could it be that it is the Pingguo Mansion?

No, if it was the Pingguo Mansion, they should ask to protect the Kong family.

Jing Zhaoyin clutched the letter tightly in his hand, and his face was cloudy.

The master waited for a long time, and when his hands and feet were cold, Jing Zhaoyin still had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

"Your Excellency?" The master was frightened and cautiously shouted Jing Zhaoyin.

Jing Zhaoyin seemed to wake up from a dream, his face was gloomy, and he glanced at his master thoughtfully: "Who asked you to send this letter?" ”

The master was almost so frightened that he knelt down on the spot for Jing Zhaoyin, and he hurriedly cleared himself: "Someone caught the villain's handle to fool around outside and forced the villain to send it over...... He was masked, and the villain didn't know what he looked like. ”

The master was about to cry.

Jing Zhaoyin's expression was still a little dark, and his voice was a little low: "Letter, have you read it?" ”

The master was so frightened that he almost flew out of the sky.

He hurriedly waved his hands vigorously: "No, no, no, what's the matter!" A letter to adults, where do villains dare to read it! ”

Jing Zhaoyin snorted coldly: "It's good if you don't see it!" ”

He carefully took the letter into his bosom and went to the front hall with his sleeves flicked up.

The master's back almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Judging from Jing Zhao Yin's performance, he knew that this letter must be a secret that Jing Zhao Yin did not want others to know.

If anyone else knows this secret, I'm afraid ......

The master shuddered, swallowed his saliva, didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly followed Jing Zhaoyin's footsteps.

When Jing Zhaoyin came to the lobby of the mansion, he had become the dignified and decent official again, and he couldn't see that he had been intimidated in the back hall at all.

The people watching outside the lobby were all coaxing with great interest.

Jing Zhaoyin sat in the armchair and slapped the shocked wood heavily: "Silence! ”

Probably because of the fear of the big officials in his bones, the noise outside gradually became quieter.

Jing Zhaoyin looked at the beggar and Kong Shi kneeling in the hall, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart, but in the end, he still kept his face calm and interrogated him seriously.

The letter said that he wanted to be impartial, and he was never sure whether this person was on the beggar's side or Kong's side, which made him very irritable all the time.

But in order to put this black gauze hat on his head, Jing Zhaoyin gritted his teeth.

After asking the beggars according to the procedure, Jing Zhaoyin realized that these beggars were wearing padded jackets, and the system was exactly the same, and they were very new, and they were not given to them by others.

Jing Zhaoyin frowned slightly.

Could it be that someone bought these beggars?

"Where did the cotton clothes on your body come from!" Jing Zhaoyin shouted.

However, when it came to the cotton clothes on their bodies, those beggars seemed to be stimulated all of a sudden, and they were all very excited, and they chattered and chattered.

In the end, it was Jing Zhaoyin who slapped the startled wood and quieted down these beggars.

"Say them one by one!"

Among them, the thin monkey seemed to be a beggar grinning and preemptively said: "Lord Qingtian, the grass people say it first, the grass people say it first!" ”

He pulled the padded jacket on his body with some pride, with a solemn look: "This is given to us by the fairy child in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva!" ”

"Ridiculous!" Jing Zhaoyin's forehead jumped.

The thin monkey beggar was startled by Jing Zhaoyin's shout, he shrank down, and said, "Lord Qingtian, the grass people are not lying. That day, a little girl who looked like a fairy gave us all these padded jackets. In addition to these padded jackets, there are also some nests and charcoal, so that we can live until now...... That little girl was born so good-looking and so kind-hearted, what else could she be if she wasn't a little fairy child in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva?! ”

As soon as the beggar said this, the rest of the beggars nodded yes one after another.

Jing Zhaoyin frowned slightly, and then realized that he didn't know which young lady did good.

Jing Zhaoyin didn't go to his heart, and looked at Kong again.

"Below is the Kong family in the second room of the Pingguo Mansion?"

Jing Zhaoyin asked according to the procedure.

The first time he went to court, Kong couldn't wait to take advantage of the momentum of the Pingguo Mansion, and he did not deny this title.

Right now, in front of so many people outside, when Jing Zhaoyin asked like this again, she raised her head.

After these days of hard work in prison, Kong, who was originally only in his twenties, looked like he was forty years old.

She straightened up slightly, and raised her voice a little, aiming to let everyone hear: "If you go back to your lordship, Minnu is not a person from the second room of the Pingguo Mansion. ”

Kong's words immediately caused an uproar.

Jing Zhaoyin's face was a little unpleasant.

He originally thought that the other party asked him to act impartially, so it was not a favoritism for him to ask according to the confession he had made last time.

As a result, who would have thought that Kong Shi would be so uncooperative.

Jing Zhaoyin slapped the shocked wood again: "Bold! How dare a sinner hide her identity in court!? The confession clearly states that the sinner woman is the Kong family in the second room of the Pingguo Mansion! ”

Kong's face was very dry, and she smiled weirdly: "The folk girl didn't dare to hide her identity, so she refuted her last testimony." The folk girl is not the female dependent of the second room of the Pingguo Mansion, but the outer room of the second master of the Pingguo Mansion, and has nothing to do with the Pingguo Mansion. ”

As soon as Kong said this, there was another noisy uproar.

You must know that the disaster caused by the lady of the Pingguo Mansion and the disaster caused by the second master of the Pingguo Mansion are completely different from each other.
