377 I'm sorry I'm late!
"My sister is in such a situation, and she is still so sharp-tongued."
A flash of displeasure flashed in Ji Yanrou's beautiful eyes, "Sister, shouldn't I be waiting for the emperor to come and save you?" Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell my sister that the emperor went to the hunting ground early this morning, and I'm afraid he won't be back for a day or two. ”
Hunting grounds? Why didn't Chu Mufeng say this when he came over just now?
When Song Erniu was thinking about it, Ji Yanrou thought that Song Erniu was in a hurry, and said with a smug smile, "I heard that my sister is just a peasant girl from a remote village, from childhood to adulthood, the farthest place she has been to should be the town." It is a great blessing for my sister to meet the emperor and get the emperor's favor......"
"But this man still has to be self-aware. You are a peasant girl who still wants to fly on the branches and become a phoenix? ”
Ji Yanrou's beautiful eyes were full of malice, "Although I don't know what means you used to charm the emperor, but this time, you don't want to leave here alive." ”
Obviously I am a beautiful woman who pities me, but she doesn't say anything vicious but doesn't have a soft mouth at all, which is afraid that this is the usual two-faced and three-faced knife in Kyoto City.
Song Erniu asked herself if she couldn't learn, and she didn't bother to learn, "Okay, then let's wait and see." ”
After Ji Yanrou left, Song Erniu sat on the straw and began to think about what she would do next if the emperor didn't come back?
At ten o'clock at noon, Miss Wei came over with Xiaoxue's sister and brother, "Miss Song, I'm really sorry, if it weren't for the Wei family's affairs, you wouldn't have been in prison." ”
"Entrusted by men, loyal to people. Since I promised to help, I naturally won't let go easily. However, what do you know about Mrs. Ji? ”
Miss Wei asked, "What have you found in the past few days?" ”
Song Erniu briefly said what she had heard in the past two days, and after Miss Wei was shocked, she said, "I also thought that Miss Ji's death had something to do with our Wei family, and now it seems that the Ji family does have many secrets." Right now, you just checked out Mrs. Ji's matter and went to prison, I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous in the future, Miss Song, you and I are not related, in fact, there is really no need to do this. ”
Miss Wei was a little embarrassed, "This is the Wei family's business, and the Wei family should handle it themselves......
"I just said, since I promised you, naturally I won't ignore it easily, besides, you have a special identity now, if you come to investigate this matter, it will be exposed at that time, and it will even affect their sister and brother. Forget it. ”
The Wei family is miserable enough, and Song Erniu doesn't want them to make things worse.
"By the way, Miss Song, I just remembered something." Miss Wei took out a secret letter from her waist and handed it out, "This is what my father left back then, maybe it will be useful, you can take a look." ”
Song Erniu took the secret letter, and was about to check the contents of it after opening it, when suddenly heavy footsteps sounded in the cell. Song Erniu immediately put away the secret letter and put it away, "Someone is coming, you should leave quickly." ”
Not long after Miss Wei left with Xiaoxue's sister and brother, Lord Wang came over with the officials.
Lord Wang should have received the news that the emperor had left Beijing, and now that he came over, most of them were instructed by the Ji family. It seems that she is going to break her muscles and bones this time.
"Come on, take the traffickers to the torture chamber."
This time, Song Erniu didn't struggle, and followed the official to the torture room, watching her hands and feet locked, and her face was expressionless from beginning to end.
"Lord Wang, what do you mean by that?"
"Miss Song, about the case of the innocent murder of the beggar in the broken temple outside the city, the above has made a decree, there will be a result today, and the lower officials have no choice but to hurry over for interrogation, if Miss Song doesn't want to be punished, then quickly explain everything that should be explained."
"Did I do it, Lord Wang knows better than anyone else, in this case, what else do you want me to explain/"
Song Erniu sneered, "Lord Wang should have received the news that the emperor went to the hunting ground." But Lord Wang has thought about it, right now you are in addition to me for the Ji family, but afterwards, the emperor knows that I am dead, do you think you can clear up the relationship? ”
"These are not sure that Miss Song is worried about her own official,"
Obviously, Lord Wang has already thought about the way back. Song Erniu saw that the threat could not be achieved, so she could only find other methods.
"Looking at Lord Wang's age, the children in the family should be about the same age as me, and the daughter is married?"
Lord Wang looked puzzled, "What are you asking for?" This officer warns you that no matter what you do today, you will not escape death. ”
When Miss Wei left with Xiaoxue, she happened to see Lord Wang come in, and Miss Wei was worried that something would happen to Song Erniu, so she left the prison and took Xiaoxue to Song's house.
Chu Mufeng had just come back from outside, Miss Wei had seen Chu Mufeng before, and now that she saw him, she hurriedly stepped forward, "Master Chu, it's not good, Lord Wang just took someone to the prison, and Miss Song is afraid that she is in danger." ”
"No, Lord Wang has also been there before, but she has been persuaded by Erniu, and she shouldn't do anything to Erniu for a while."
Chu Mufeng didn't know the news that the emperor was out of the city, or it was deliberately covered up by the Ji family.
Miss Wei knew that when she saw this, she became more and more anxious, "The emperor went out of the city early in the morning, and Lord Wang was silent before, I was afraid that I didn't know about it, but now I must have gotten the news, and I want to take advantage of the emperor's absence." Young Master Chu, you hurry up to find the emperor, otherwise, Miss Song will really be more than lucky. ”
What the? When Chu Mufeng heard this, his face immediately changed.
"Okay, I'll go now."
Chu Mufeng was not worried about Song Erniu, and went to find Taishi Hu before leaving. After Chu Mufeng left, Taishi Hu took people to the prison.
"The daughter of the Ji family will be ** in three years, what about the daughter of the Wang family? As a parent, doesn't Lord Wang want to find a good family for his daughter? ”
Song Erniu's original intention was to sow discord, who knew that when Lord Wang heard this, not only did he not have the slightest jealousy, but even said a little proudly, "You don't have to worry about this matter, the official's family affairs, the official will watch it." ”
Song Erniu saw satisfaction in Lord Wang's eyes, and after thinking quickly, she said, "Lord Wang doesn't want to marry his daughter to the Ji family." ”
When the words fell, I saw Lord Wang's expression change slightly, so Song Erniu knew that she had guessed correctly.
"There is only one serious young master in the Ji family, but the reputation of this young master, I don't think I need to say more, Lord Wang should also know a thing or two."
Song Erniu glanced at Lord Wang and continued, "It is said that this woman's marriage is related to the rest of her life, and she made a wrong step, but she made a wrong step. Lord Wang doesn't look like a person who doesn't care about the life and death of his children for the sake of climbing, hasn't he thought of a better way out? ”
What is a better way out, all over the world, is there a better way out than to marry the emperor?
He is just a five-grade petty official, and the emperor is unwilling to accept a concubine, he just has a heart and a way.
Lord Wang frowned, thinking of something, and glared at Song Erniu dissatisfied.
"If Lord Wang is willing to let me go, and your daughter's family affairs are wrapped up in me, I will definitely help her find a satisfactory one."
Song Erniu wanted to make a deal for Lord Wang, but Lord Wang was unwilling. "How long have you been in Kyoto City, and who do you know?"
"I know the emperor." Song Erniu said as a matter of course, "This should be more useful than knowing other people." Lord Wang believes in me, and cooperating with me must be less dangerous than cooperating with Lord Ji......"
Lord Wang had already hesitated, but at this time, Young Master Ji walked in with someone.
"What a clever mouth that can speak well, if Young Master Ben listens to it for a while, I'm afraid he will be persuaded by you."
Young Master Ji slapped his face and walked over. "Miss Song has been in prison, and she doesn't stop like this. Lord Wang, Jing Zhaosi is your territory, why can't you even deal with a single woman? ”
"Young Master Ji is angry, and the next official will start to try the case."
Wang Dasheng was afraid that Young Master Ji would talk about what happened just now, and before leaving, he glared at Song Erniu dissatisfiedly.
Song Erniu saw that things were self-defeating. I was a little flustered.
Right now, I'm afraid that no one can save her. But she was still a little unwilling to die like this......
"Why did Young Master Ji come here, Young Master Ji doesn't believe Lord Wang?"
Young Master Ji was smart today, ignoring Song Erniu's provocation, and turned his head to look at Lord Wang.
"Song Erniu, can you plead guilty to the murder of a beggar in a broken temple on the outskirts of Beijing?"
Song Erniu knows that if she doesn't admit her guilt, it will be a pain of flesh and skin at most, but if she confesses, it will be a worry for her life.
After thinking about it again, Song Erniu kept her mouth shut and denied it, Lord Wang waved her hand, and the official stepped forward with a whip.
Song Erniu has seen this scene on TV countless times, but when this scene really appeared in front of her, Song Erniu understood the fear and panic.
When the whip was struck for the first time, Song Erniu seemed to hear the sound of skin and flesh blooming. Immediately after the second whip, the third whip......
"Song Erniu, do you admit your guilt?"
Lord Wang stepped forward with the accusation of human guilt, "This official will give you another chance, otherwise, the next step will not be as simple as whipping." ”
"Lord Wang still has any tricks, just use them."
Song Erniu closed her eyes after speaking, looking like she was waiting to be slaughtered.
Seeing this, Lord Wang took two steps back with a displeased face, "I don't know what to do." ”
Then he waved his hand and motioned for the official to take the discus in the brazier, seeing that the official was about to approach, Song Erniu really wanted to compromise for a moment. At this moment, Master Hu rushed over with someone.
"Stop."
Master Hu asked the soldiers to stop the servants, and came to Lord Wang angrily, "What is Lord Wang doing?" When did Jing Zhaoji start to torture to extract confessions? ”
Hu Taishi was also a veteran of the dynasty and a trusted courtier of the first emperor. If it weren't for the close contact between Taishi Hu and Chu Mufeng later, and even wanted to help the Chu family overturn the case and anger the emperor, maybe the current assistant minister is Taishi Hu.
However, even if it was Master Ji who came to the throne in the end, the emperor still respected Master Hu. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, who saw Taishi Hu and didn't give a few thin noodles?
Lord Wang didn't need to say it, "Master Hu calmed his anger and went down to the official...... Xiaguan's move is also a helpless move, and now the evidence is conclusive, but Song Erniu refuses to admit guilt, and Xiaguan ......"
"Lord Wang has been in Jingzhaosi for five years. Didn't you learn the rules of Kyo Zhao Si in five years? ”
Master Hu didn't listen to Lord Wang's explanation, "What does it mean that the evidence is conclusive? Are you talking about the murder of a beggar in the suburbs of Beijing? ”
Lord Wang nodded, and when Master Hu saw this, he became more and more dissatisfied.
"The old man in this case has already asked people to investigate just now, but the result is the opposite of Lord Wang,"
Master Hu took the file and threw it directly at the feet of Lord Wang, "You take a good look at the confession above, if Lord Wang doesn't know how to investigate the case, the old man doesn't mind teaching you in person." ”
"The lower officials are afraid, the lower officials are afraid." Lord Wang didn't expect that Master Hu would personally intervene in the case.
Yes, whatever evidence he said before is conclusive, it is all false. It's true that I want Song Erniu to confess.
At present, Taishi Hu saw through her conspiracy and stood up to support Song Erniu...... I'm afraid this matter will not end well.
Lord Wang was flustered and didn't know what to do, and the prince of the Ji family glared at Master Hu dissatisfied.
"Master Hu, you are an official in the same dynasty as your father, since your father has already intervened in this case, is it not good for Master Hu to interfere again?"
The son of the Ji family wanted to use Master Ji to suppress Master Hu, but unfortunately she didn't understand Master Hu's temper, not to mention that he was entrusted by Chu Mufeng to come over, even if he didn't know someone who was treated like this by the Ji family, he would definitely not stand idly by.
The Ji family is now rampant and domineering, doing all kinds of evil, and others dare not stand up to uphold justice, he is not afraid of these.
"What does Young Master Ji mean by this, could it be that this case also has something to do with Master Ji?" Master Hu said mercilessly, "If that's the case, then the official will have to talk to the emperor about this matter tomorrow......"
"You don't use the emperor to scare Young Master Ben, the emperor went to the suburbs of Beijing early this morning, and he won't come back for a while......"
"You know everything about me?" A low and familiar voice came, and the people in the torture room turned around sharply when they heard the words, and after seeing the people clearly, everyone's faces changed.
The emperor crossed everyone and came directly to Song Erniu, looking at her scarred and weak appearance, he blamed himself, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”
Song Erniu shook her head, "This matter has nothing to do with the emperor, the emperor doesn't need to be sorry." ”
At the beginning, the emperor did not approve of her meddling in this matter, she had to go her own way, and now that something has happened, the emperor has rushed back to save her, if she still complains, wouldn't it be too unconscionable.
"No, it's all my fault. If I had come back sooner, you wouldn't have ......."
The emperor took Song Erniu off the shelf in distress, and then turned his head to look at Lord Wang and Young Master Ji.
"Come on, pull Lord Wang down and rectify the Fa on the spot. In addition, send Ji Kun back to Ji's house, and let Master Ji give me an explanation within an hour. ”
The emperor was angry and killed Lord Wang on the spot, everyone was panicked for a while, and Young Master Ji was also stupid.
Although the emperor sent him back, the words behind him were to let his father personally kill him, which ......
He didn't want to die.
"Your Majesty, don't ......"
