Chapter 81: Retrial
The little guy sent by Zou Mingyuan to the Great Prince's Mansion was left at the side door, and the little guy who reported the news was also anxious, and Lord Zou was still waiting for him to reply at Dali Temple.
"Can you give me an accurate word?" The little guy said anxiously: "Dali Temple is still waiting for the trial." ”
The person who stopped him at the side door said: "The news has been handed in, wait a while." ”
The chamberlain who reported the news hurriedly walked to the study, and before he could enter the study, he heard a crackling sound from inside.
The chamberlain stood by the door and said cautiously: "Your Highness, there is news from Dali Temple." ”
The roar of the Great Prince came from inside the door: "Get in!" ”
He lowered his eyebrows and stooped into the study.
swept to Meng Zhuzhou, who was sitting on the side, and the attendant repeated Zou Mingyuan's words again anxiously.
"Ma Wenrui yin me!" The eldest prince's eyes were red, and he picked up the inkstone at hand and smashed it on the inner servant.
The chamberlain knelt on the ground and didn't dare to dodge, seeing that the inkstone was about to hit his head.
A man in a strong suit suddenly sprang out from the side and kicked the inkstone out with one kick.
"Ling, don't be rude." Meng Zhuzhou stopped it.
Ling retracted his feet and hurried back behind Meng Zhuzhou, he was silent and had no apologies on his face, as if he was not the one who had done something out of the ordinary just now.
In the way of Meng Zhuzhou's face, the eldest prince had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only sprinkle his anger on the servant: "Get out!" ”
The chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound, and crawled out of the study.
"Now that the trial is about to begin, the case has reached the stall." The eldest prince's teeth itched with hatred in his heart, Ma Wenrui was not sorry to die, and in the end he bit him back!
If this involves him... The image he has maintained in front of his father for many years is about to fall short.
The eldest prince pinched the pen in his hand tightly, and the experience of living in his uncle's house in Suzhou was like a suffocating net that bound him.
He didn't want to go back in time, he didn't want to be stepped into the mud again.
"Sir, what should I do about this?" The eldest prince adjusted his mood and asked respectfully: "Please also ask Mr. for some advice." ”
Meng Zhuzhou shook his head and said: "The matter has reached a dilemma, if Your Highness goes to Dali Temple at this time, it will be a solid matter, but if you don't go, the case will also involve Your Highness." ”
For Ma Wenrui to die resolutely and leave a back hand, this was something Meng Zhuzhou never expected, and Ma Wenrui caught him off guard with this hand.
If it is not handled properly, he and the eldest prince will probably be separated from Germany.
"Blame me, blame me for not killing him." The eldest prince suddenly sighed: "Then maybe he can be persuaded to bear all the blame alone." ”
The eldest prince stood by the window, the fine sunlight slowly falling on his face along the window, and the half of his face facing the sun was splashed with blood spots that had not yet had time to be wiped, like cinnabar deliberately lit.
After all, the eldest prince is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, but he has too many things on his back, too much.
Meng Zhuzhou sighed secretly, and he said softly: "Now I can only wait, wait for the case to be tried, and then make plans." ”
"Just bet on this." The eldest prince slowly wiped the blood on his face with a handkerchief: "Bet that my father will not blame me for this." ”
*
"My lord, it's time." The official went through the inner hall again and asked again.
Zou Mingyuan wiped the sweat on his face again with a handkerchief, and he shook his hand and put on the official hat: "Don't wait, go to the court." ”
After walking for two steps, Zou Mingyuan stopped, and he said, "Call Shi Shaoqing too." ”
"Yes, sir."
Zou Mingyuan let out a long sigh, he had done enough to be benevolent and righteous.
…
The auditors in the hall sat on both sides, and there was a small table on the left hand side of the main seat, but today's atmosphere was extraordinary, and there were three people in the bookstore alone, not to mention the auditors, who stood densely on one side.
Zou Mingyuan stiffened his head and slapped the shocking wood, and shouted: "Be quiet, lead someone to commit a crime!" ”
"Wait." Cao Alcohol raised his hand to interrupt: "Lord Zou still tried the witnesses first, and they were all in the court, so carefully string up the confession." ”
"Uh... Lord Cao is right. Zou Mingyuan slapped the stunned wood again: "Bring the witness up." ”
Cheng Bihe was pressed into the hall by several Dongchang fans, he first bowed without humility or arrogance, and then looked at Mr. Donglin who was listening with a little weakness.
A few students led by Mr. Donglin whispered underneath: "How can the human witness be Cheng Bihe?" ”
"He's not and... Lu Jing is that kind of relationship. ”
"Is there any suspicion that he is a cover-up when he came to be a witness?" Another student was skeptical: "Could it be that Lu Xun came to get rid of the crime?" ”
“...”
Doubts like these are endless.
Zou Mingyuan was shocked angrily, and the voice of the discussion below stopped, and he asked, "Who is standing under the hall?" ”
"Back to adults, student Cheng Bihe, a native of Yuzhou, is now studying at Donglin Academy." Cheng Bihe replied: "I am classmates with Lu Xun, and now that he is being wrongly accused, how can I bear it?" ”
Jiang Banxia sat behind Cao Yu, she was a little worried, worried that Cheng Bihe had temporarily changed his confession, after all, Qian Bao was moving.
"He won't." Cao Yu seemed to see Jiang Banxia's worries, and he said in a low voice: "Although Qian Silk is moving, where is more important than life. ”
Jiang Banxia looked at Cao Alcohol with wide eyes.
"I had his whole family arrested." Cao Yu wrote lightly: "Our family still has the right to kill two people." ”
"We must grasp the key to doing things, so that we can be foolproof." Cao Alcohol turned his gaze to the hall, and he said slowly, "Learn a little." ”
Cheng Bihe in the hall said categorically: "The person who killed Cui Baisheng was Ma Wenrui!" ”
The hall was completely fried, and they all started to talk, and the group of people in Donglin Academy were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and they all shouted that Cheng Bi and his words were unfounded.
"Silence!" Zou Mingyuan slapped the shocked wood: "There is no evidence based on your words alone, do you have evidence?" ”
"Proof, of course." Cheng Bihe gritted his teeth and said, "I have here the letters of Cui Baisheng and Ma Wenrui. ”
He took out a thick pile of letters from his arms and presented them to both hands, and immediately a servant took it and handed it to Zou Mingyuan.
Zou Mingyuan frowned from the beginning of reading the first letter, and after he read it, he asked the officials to circulate the letter to the factory officials who cooperated in the trial of the case in the east and west factories.
Cao Yu glanced at it twice and handed it to Jiang Banxia.
The thin letter paper has no weight in the hand, and it is full of obscene \ lyrics, what 'Juanjuan white snow skirt cage, infinite style bending. ', 'Water \ bone \ tender, jade \ mountain \ long, mandarin duck in the spring breeze. ’
The further back you look, the more unsightly it becomes.
"No shame!" Mr. Donglin blew his beard angrily and glared.
"Ahem." Zou Mingyuan coughed embarrassedly, it was the first time he had seen this kind of thing in the hall, he said: "These poems... Poetry exchanges, how can it be proved that Ma Wenrui killed Cui Baisheng? Their 'relationship' is so good, why did Ma Wenrui kill Cui Baisheng? ”
Cheng Bihe immediately said: "Because of Lu Xun! ”
