Chapter 135: No Purity After Death
Mao Xiang was the first to walk out of the back hall, young, with official uniforms, and his own graceful demeanor and extraordinary appearance.
What's more, he frowned, looking like he was not approachable, and some of the young ladies of the family who were even more fascinated jumped out of cheers directly.
Dong Xiaowan's performance last night caused a sensation in the entire Qinhuai River, so her arrest was naturally a shocking event, not only how many people came to listen to the trial, but also blocked the three circles inside and outside the palace.
Fortunately, the seal and Bai Ruoyun came early, and they occupied a position next to the two stone lions at the entrance of the mansion early.
The seal wrapped his arms around Bai Ruoyun stubbornly, for fear that she would be injured by the living, looking at the nearly hundreds of people who came to see Dong Xiaowan's liveliness, the two of them couldn't help but feel even more sad in their hearts, Bai Ruoyun almost couldn't hold on, thanks to the seal, she was protected in her arms.
The seal clenched his fists tightly, and his mood was also very uncomfortable, not only uncomfortable with the fact that Dong Xiaowan was dead, but even more uncomfortable was that even after her death, she was not allowed to be pure, and she had to be judged and pointed at by others.
Infinite sorrow and sorrow suddenly arose in my heart!
Mao Xiang didn't care whether Wang Dong and Li Xiangliang in the back came out or not, and directly took the case and ascended to the court, and the officials lined up on both sides, and immediately shouted in unison behind them: "Mighty!" ”
The weather has cooled a little, and the autumn leaves on the side of the road have fallen a lot, and a clear yellow maple leaf has fallen on Bai Ruoyun's shoulder, and the seal has seen it, and he has a free hand to take it off.
The original noisy crowd gradually quieted down with the ascension, no longer talking to each other, but the wind whistled one by one, some rubbed their ears, some put their arms into their sleeves to keep warm, but everyone's eyes were focused on the hall.
This is a historic moment, how can ordinary people have the opportunity to see the judgment of the demon girl, let alone the trial, even if they have seen it, they have never seen it.
Everyone wants to see if this imperial power is powerful, or the witchcraft is powerful.
Wang Dong and Li Xiangliang were still waiting for Mao Xiang to invite them out in the back hall, but after Mao Xiang was promoted to the court, they directly began to try the case.
The two appeared and directly interrupted Mao Xiang's speech, Li Xiangliang took the lead in bowing down, and his two arms modestly pointed at Wang Dong, who was dressed in a red robe and Dongchang next to him: "Because this case involves a demon girl, this ghostly and ghostly type of case must be tried jointly by three officials at the county order and above according to the law of Daliang Law, and it happens that Wang Dong's father-in-law is patrolling in Jiangnan, so it is one of the side trials of this case." ”
Wang Dong looked at Li Xiangliang and gave him a step down, walked out slowly with a smile on his face, and also introduced Li Xiangliang to everyone: "Lord Li Xiangliang is the political envoy of Jiangsu Province, and if such a big thing happened in Nanjing, didn't Lord Li also work tirelessly to participate in the side trial!" ”
The presiding judge, Mao Xiang, did not have the consciousness to introduce the two of them to the side trial, so they could only introduce themselves and praise each other's stinky feet. Otherwise, their participation in this case is not justified, and how will they make the case real later?
After the two of them finished speaking, the official next to him came over and moved a stool for them to sit down, and he looked at them with a faint expression, and invited a nearby official to whisper something to him.
After watching Wang Dong and Li Xiangliang finally sit down peacefully, Mao Xiang immediately continued to preside over Dong Xiaowan's court trial.
A slap of shock.
"The Gengzi A case, the trial officially began at Chenshi."
"The party Dong Xiaowan, yesterday's performance in Qinhuai River, was interrupted by Li Xiangliang, the political envoy of Jiangsu, accusing him of using witchcraft to cast spells, and there were witnesses who testified enchantingly."
Speaking of this, Mao Xiang glanced up at Li Xiangliang: "Lord Li, is this so?" ”
Li Xiangliang nodded, shook the fan in his hand with satisfaction, and fanned it on his stomach that he couldn't hide even if he sat down, with a leisurely expression: "That's right." After saying that, he shook his head proudly.
Weng Xiang didn't sleep all night, and he also figured out some things.
Dong Xiaowan is a demon girl, her dancing style is excellent, it can be said that her skills have reached the peak level, and the pouring rain can be said to have caught up by chance, and the glow has become the focus of controversy in this case.
At first, Mao Xiang couldn't figure it out, how could Dong Xiaowan's body shine?
But he thought about it for a moment.
Dong Xiaowan's glow seemed to be the brightest only when she was dancing, like a firefly fairy, and then when she saw her again in prison, the light on her body dimmed a lot, and after that, when he went to save her in prison, she almost didn't have that brilliance on her body.
Although Mao Xiang didn't understand the principle, he could roughly guess that Dong Xiaowan must have been framed by someone, and his body was painted with something, and after the rain washed away, and the time passed, this thing naturally disappeared.
And this thing must have been unknowingly caught by someone before Dong Xiaowan went to perform.
Mao Xiang immediately figured out the problem, Dong Xiaowan must have been provoked by the Teaching Workshop Division. It is precisely because Mao Xiang is not in contact with Mama Liu like Dong Xiaowan that he will not be deceived by superfluous feelings.
Thinking about it directly, only the Teaching Workshop Division can start, which not only meets the conditions that are not easy to be detected by Dong Xiaowan. In addition, there are many opportunities for people with a heart to start. Mao Xiang, as an outsider, reasoned about it, and it was naturally easier than Dong Xiaowan.
This line is clear, and in this case, Mao Xiang has a foothold.
Just now, he whispered to the servant, and it was precisely when he asked him to invite Mama Liu from the Teaching Workshop Division over, and he also kept an eye on it, asking him to find Miss Xiaomei of the Teaching Workshop Division first, and let her bring the things that Mama Liu gave to Dong Xiaowan and Mama Liu to come over with Mama Liu.
After Mao Xiang asked Li Xiangliang's words, basically the official arrived with Mama Liu and Xiaomei carrying the package.
"Mama Liu and Miss Xiaomei of the Missionary Division." ”
Mao Xiang understood that she would inevitably be suspicious when she suddenly invited Mama Liu over, so Mao Xiang asked a few casual questions, ready to dispel her doubts: "Mama Liu, can you introduce Miss Dong Xiaowan from your teaching department." ”
Mama Liu came to the center of the vestibule from the side and knelt down, her face did not fluctuate, and replied in a regular manner: "Back to my lord, I bought this girl named Dong Xiaowan from Suzhou a few months ago to return to the sect, and it didn't take long for her to go to the capital, and it took more than a month to go back and forth, and she just came back a few days ago to choose the oiran. So don't say it's me, the head of the sect really doesn't know whether she is a demon girl or not, and please be magnanimous, don't blame our sect boss. ”
Mao Xiang looked at Mama Liu's cold face, and hated her very much, she used Dong Xiaowan as a cash cow yesterday and held her, but today she dragged down the teaching department, so she directly shirked her responsibility here, does she have a conscience?
