Chapter 191: Set an example
"I have a witness!" Du Mengyao said.
Wei Donglu sneered. "Oh, witness, I didn't ...... when I told you that."
"My lord! Wei Donglu has moved! Du Mengyao immediately shouted. She just said that, it's what she told the people's daughter! ”
Wei Donglu looked at Du Mengyao in disbelief. "You're lying to me?!"
"That's also because you don't have a brain, and you can cheat the truth out of your mouth with a casual sentence!" Du Mengyao raised her chin smugly.
Wei Donglu opened his mouth and was about to scold back. "You're a ......"
"Winter Dew!" Wei Zheng stood aside in a hurry. "If you really make a mistake, you should quickly admit your guilt, and tell the truth about the foreign goldenrod, otherwise you will ......"
'Bang bang', the startled wood was knocked twice in succession.
"Silence!" Shen Shao also scolded everyone in the hall sharply. "If anyone disrupts the trial process again, no matter who they are, they will be punished with a cane of ten to set an example!"
As soon as Shen Shaoyi's warning came out, the main hall fell silent.
Du Mengyao and Wei Donglu, who were still speaking casually, couldn't help but restrain their voices, and they didn't dare to gasp.
"Hah~~" Gu Yanran was yawning under the cover of her palms, and found that the surroundings were suddenly quiet, a little embarrassed. "Ahem, I'm sorry, the goldenrod hasn't passed yet, and I'm always sleepy."
In fact, she only nibbled on a few bites of apples yesterday, and the strength of the goldenrod anthers she ate had already passed, and it was not easy to say that she was hangover and did not wake up, so she imitated Nangong Xuanyi's trick...... On the grounds of goldenrod, do self-interested things.
Nangong Xuanyi was speechless about this, but raised his eyebrows slightly. “……”
"Then, the trial continues." Shen Shao also held an official tone. "Wei's Donglu, Du Mengyao's accusation is that you gave her the foreign golden flower, and it is also you who told her the effect of the foreign golden flower, can you plead guilty?"
Wei Donglu remembered Wei Zheng's words, so he had no choice but to confess. "The people's daughter pleads guilty, please surrender your guilt."
Shen Shao also bowed his head. "Okay, then the official asks again, where did you get the foreign gold flower?"
"Back to my lord." Wei Donglu said. "The foreign gold flower was purchased by a folk girl from a folk doctor who was Zheng Sihai."
Gu Yanran smiled when she heard the somewhat familiar name mentioned by Wei Donglu. "Zheng Sihai? Is it a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body? ”
"Yes." Wei Donglu said.
Shen Shaoyi looked at Gu Yanran. "The second princess knows this person?"
"Investigated him for something." Gu Yanran talked about Zheng Sihai's information. "Zheng Sihai, whose ancestral home is Fengping County, now lives in the south of the Imperial City, is at the level of a purple doctor, entered the Tai Hospital five years ago, and was removed from the Tai Hospital three years ago for stealing medicinal materials from the Tai Hospital, and the inferior nature has not changed in the next few years, and he also sells drugs to some large families privately in exchange for a lot of money."
After Shen Shao heard this, he sharply ordered the officials in the hall. "Zhao Yi, Wang Er, and Li San, immediately rush to the south of the city and detain Zheng Sihai to return to the case!"
"Yes! Capital! ”
The three officers received the order and then left the main hall one after the other.
It is not too late to detain Zheng Sihai, but the trial in the court will not be delayed because of this, and the case will be one case.
"Wei's Winter Dew." Shen Shao also made a shocking sound. "Since you have confessed to the crime you have committed, then the official will pronounce the sentence: Wei's Donglu, who secretly bought and sold the forbidden medicine foreign goldenrod, will be sentenced to fifty lashes according to the law, and a fine of 3,000 will be put into the state treasury, which will be executed immediately after the trial of this case is over!"
When Wei Donglu heard that he was about to be sentenced to fifty lashes, he couldn't help but feel like ashes. "Fifty ......"
Shen Shao also looked at Du Mengyao again. "Du's Mengyao, Wei's Donglu accused you of bribing the people of the Second Prince's Mansion to replace the original fruits in the happy house with fruits soaked with goldenrod liquid, so that the Second Princess's concubine fell asleep for an hour, can you plead guilty?"
"The woman pleaded guilty." Du Mengyao happily confessed to the crime.
Shen Shao is also preparing to pronounce the sentence. "Well, since you ...... the crime you have committed"
"Wait!" Wei Donglu knelt up straight. "My lord, if the famous woman confesses to Du Mengyao's other crimes, I wonder if she can make meritorious contributions to reduce the punishment?"
Du Mengyao gritted her teeth and threatened. "Wei Donglu, I warn you, don't go too far, if you dare to betray me today, I ......"
"Your Excellency!" Wei Donglu sued directly. "Du Mengyao threatened me! She said that if I dared to betray her, I would not die a good death! ”
Du Mengyao's face was full of astonishment. "When will I ......"
"Someone!" Shen Shao also summoned two officials. "Du Shi Mengyao threatened his accomplices during the trial, tried to cover up the truth, and was sentenced to ten canes, which will be executed immediately!"
Two officials stepped forward, one of them holding Du Mengyao's arm.
Two other officers brought benches and sticks from nowhere.
Du Mengyao was so frightened that she couldn't help but struggle. "Let go of me! I don't want it! Father! Daddy, save me! ”
Du Shoucheng couldn't help but lower his eyes. "The trial of the criminal department, even the royal family can't easily interfere, how can I save you."
In the end, Du Mengyao was pressed on the bench by the officials on both sides, and the official who moved the bench stood behind and pressed Du Mengyao's feet.
'Click' a stick hit Du Mengyao's back neatly.
"Ahh Du Mengyao let out a miserable scream.
Gu Yanran had never seen such a ruthless battle, and when the cane fell on Du Mengyao, she subconsciously leaned towards Nangong Xuanyi beside her.
"Don't look." Nangong Xuanyi hugged Gu Yanran into his arms.
Gu Yanran had one ear close to Nangong Xuanyi's chest, and the other ear was covered by Nangong Xuanyi's raised hand, and even his vision was deliberately blocked by him with his wide sleeves.
Above the main seat, Shen Shao also looked at the two figures snuggled together not far away.
Nangong Xuanyi noticed a flash of sight and raised his eyes to meet it. “……”
Shen Shao also received a warning look from Nangong Xuanyi, and did not panic, but calmly bowed his head towards Nangong Xuanyi to show his friendliness.
Unconsciously, Du Mengyao's cane punishment ended.
The two officials picked Du Mengyao up from the bench, moved two steps horizontally, and pressed her to kneel.
Nangong Xuanyi let go of Gu Yanran at this time. "It's over."
When Gu Yanran looked at the center of the main hall again, the official had returned to his original position and was standing, and the benches and sticks were also stored away.
The only difference from the original scene was a few blood marks on Du Mengyao's back clothes.
After the cane is over, the trial will of course continue.
"Wei's Donglu, this official will allow you to make meritorious contributions." Shen Shao's expression was clear. "If the confession is true, the flogging you will receive will be reduced."
"Thank you, my lord, the folk girl will confess truthfully." Wei Donglu kowtowed deeply. "My lord, there is a follow-up to the crime committed by Du Mengyao, although there is no chance to carry it out, but the means are too despicable! She drugged the second princess because she wanted to move the second princess out of the happy house and replace her as the second princess! ”
Gu Yanran. Why is the drama of "......" so familiar?
Wei Donglu continued. "If the second princess is successfully moved out of the happy house at that time, someone will transport the second princess away, do misdeeds to the second princess, and destroy the name of the second princess, and at the same time, Du Mengyao who stayed in the happy house will pretend to be the second princess, light incense with aphrodisiac effect in advance, and wait for the second prince to return from wine, and take the opportunity to cook raw rice and mature rice!"
Nangong Xuanyi. The drama of "......" is really familiar.
