Chapter 369: Punished
Mei Qingqian didn't squeak, silently looked at the emperor in front of her, what could she do if the Ninety-Five Venerable was unreasonable?
"Your Majesty thinks that whoever is guilty is guilty, and the people have nothing to say." She said lightly.
"Do you mean I have wronged you? King Jing's face has been scratched by you, why did I wronged you? The Emperor raised his voice abruptly.
"It's the impulse of the people's daughter, but it's also King Jing's concubine's provocation first."
Li Xun sneered, with disdain in his voice, "In addition, Zhou Xianling's mother is not in good health and can't move, so Zhou Xianling is afraid that he is biased towards Du Kang again." ”
The corners of Mei Qingqian's mouth twitched, "It's another person named Kang, why are the people I know called Kang not good people?" ”
Kang represents health, which is the expectation of parents for their children when they name him, hoping that he will be healthy, less sick and less disasters, and grow up safely.
After listening to Li Xun talk about this past, I think that Du Kang's parents should be good, at least it was a good deed to save Zhou County's mother back then, and Zhou County's mother is also a person who knows how to be grateful, but because of kindness, there is no distinction between right and wrong.
As for the Zhou County Order, there are also foolish filial piety.
Li Xun then talked about Du Kang's robbery of a woman before, but fortunately, the matter was not too serious, and the woman finally accepted the compensation and the whole family moved away because of her reputation.
Zhou County Ling knew all the inside information in this matter, but because of his mother's relationship, he did not punish Du Kang.
"It seems that the situation is a little unoptimistic, do you really have to move Lord Zheng?" Mei Qingqian asked with some worry.
She didn't want to trouble Zheng Ya, or that Zheng Ya was just her hole card, and she really couldn't use it.
Because although Lord Zheng is a Beijing official, I heard that he is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and this time he came to choose a site for the ancestral hall of the national teacher.
The county officials are not as good as the current management, and the current management is the Zhou County Order, and if Lord Zheng intervenes, it will be somewhat inconvenient.
In addition, Lord Zhou will definitely not be obviously biased in favor of Du Kang, even if Lord Zheng intervenes, he will not be able to cure him of any crimes, even if the previous case is revealed, Lord Zhou will not be involved, but he just turns a blind eye.
It is morally deficient to say, but it does not punish the crime.
But Zheng Ru soon returned to Beijing, and Zhou County Ling was still in office here, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future.
Mei Qingqian sighed worriedly, no background and no financial resources, it is really difficult to mix, this is really a fact that no dynasty can change.
"Sigh, isn't there still your man?" Li Xun whispered, her face closer, and the heat reached the top of her hair.
"What are you going to do?" She was taken aback and nudged him gently, "Don't you want to reveal your whereabouts?" Don't bother you. ”
"Don't worry, you won't get the result today. However, He Shuhuan was not arrested and sent to another courtyard, but she went over by herself, even if she was finally convicted, then Du Kang was not a big crime of exile. Li Xun reminded.
If you rob a people's girl, you will be exiled, but He Shuhuan went by himself, even if he was deceived, he was not kidnapped.
The punishment can only cure Du Kang's crime of placing He Shuhuan under house arrest, and thanks to Mei Qingqian's injury to He Shuhuan's wrist, otherwise she would not have been injured at all, and she would not have much strength to sue Du Kang for house arrest.
This also shows that Du Kang is very cautious.
"Then everything will be according to the law, and he will be punished as he deserves, lest he not know how to restrain himself." Mei Qingqian said.
Li Xun nodded, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”
The two walked over again, Zheng Ya waved at Mei Qingqian, and said anxiously: "Du Kang didn't admit that he tied up Sister He, and said that Sister He's injury was not tied up by him." ”
"Did he say that Sister Huan went to her to reduce the rent by herself, and wanted to seduce her?" Mei Qing snorted coldly.
Zheng Ya looked surprised, "Sister Mei, did you hear it just now?" ”
"No, guessed." Mei Qingqian said.
"What can I do?" Zheng Ya was worried.
"Don't worry, we have physical evidence." Mei Qingqian whispered.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Guancha returned with someone, in addition to the official who went to search with him, he also followed an old man dressed plainly.
"My lord, I have found the physical evidence that He said, and in addition, I have also found a human witness." Lu Guancha saluted Zhou County, and then said.
Zhou Xianling frowned, he felt that this kid was capable, and he thought that he could be reused, but this kid was too serious, right? Even brought back a witness?
Isn't this asking for trouble for him?
Zhou Xianling secretly took a breath and asked, "Who is in the hall, report your name." ”
The old man knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said respectfully: "If you go back to your lordship, the grass people's name is Liu Sanxi, and they are the gatekeepers of the Du family's courtyard. ”
"Then you're going to testify for Du Kang?" Zhou County Ling asked again.
The old man shook his head, "Although I am the concierge of the Du family, I have been with the master for many years, and I can be regarded as watching the young master grow up, the young master and his wife are all upright people, if they are still alive, they will definitely not agree to the young master's misdeeds." ”
"There was a similar situation before, and I also persuaded the young master, but he didn't listen to the persuasion, and even more thought I was troublesome, so he transferred me to another hospital. The grass people thought that the young master would change after that incident, but it didn't take long for him to do it again. The old man said bitterly.
Du Kang became anxious when he heard this, "Lao Liu, my father treated you well when he was alive, and now you actually accept other people's money and frame me, are you right in conscience?" ”
The old man patted his heart and said: "My old Liu Tou has a conscience, so I can't watch the young master make mistakes again and again, if I don't say anything, just blindly cover you, then it really hurts you!" When I die, how can I have the face to see the old lady? ”
Mei Qingqian looked at the old man, and then looked at the slightly swaying curtain behind the hall, the old man's words had been prepared a long time ago, and they were meant for the people behind the curtain.
"Did you count it?" She asked Li Xun in a low voice.
Li Xun didn't speak, only laughed lowly, with smugness in his voice, as if to say what? Am I like God? Come and praise me.
Mei Qingqian didn't have the heart to pay attention to his little tsundere, and soon continued to look at the old man in the hall, Li Xun didn't even wait for a praising look from his daughter-in-law, and instantly became unhappy.
His face is black, and he has no expression in a fierce manner, and at this moment, he let go of the air conditioner, and the people next to him are scared to retreat, if you look carefully, it can be said that the excitement is crowded, but there is nothing around him.
The old man in the hall continued: "I thought that as long as the young master was okay and persuaded him more in the future, the young master would definitely learn well and be a kind and upright person like the old man." But I feel more and more that I am wrong, and blindly covering up will only harm the young master and make him go further and further. ”
The old man was already in tears when he spoke, he hid his face and sobbed, "The young master became like this, let the housekeeper deviate the woman to the other courtyard, and detained the person, if the old lady has a spirit in the sky, I don't know how sad and angry it will be." ”
