Chapter 81: The Confrontation in Court
Yunzhou is about to usher in the rainy season, the other side of the sky is gray, the surrounding verdant are hidden in the fog, and the clouds cover people's heads.
Yan Xiangcheng was picked up overnight, but in order to let her enter the mansion, she was directly placed in the side hall of the yamen.
Seeing that she was wearing a coarse cloth plain dress because of her tossing and turning on the Zhuangzi, coupled with her haggard appearance recently, it is estimated that she has been looking for a way to get out all night. It's just that she hasn't shown a panicked look yet, which makes Qin Huai very unhappy.
And the Bai family, who had just been pressed, was not much better, and now it was dark and green, and he was still wearing the dirty clothes from yesterday, and there were traces of the soil drying up on it.
The down-and-out embarrassment of the mother and daughter has become a scenery in the eyes of many people.
The Yan family sued their wife and daughter, how new this is, a group of good people have long been surrounded outside the yamen, they are not afraid of the rain that is about to fall, but also want to see this good show that has been foreshadowed.
Bai, who was originally frightened, quickly got up from the ground after seeing his daughter, hugged Yan Xiangcheng, and wanted to hug the savior. She was about to say something, but she heard the county order in the hall slap Xingmu and restrained the two.
"Bai's, Yan's, the Yan family's relatives sued you for murder in the Yan family, first wanted to poison the old lady of the Yan family, and then framed the only son of the Yan family, just to embezzle the family wealth, do you know each other."
Yan Mo placed Qin Huai in the left hall of the yamen, and she could accurately hear all the conversations of the hall officials, while Mingyue stood quietly aside, peeking into the hall through the gap in the side door.
As soon as the pleadings came out, they all burned everywhere, and they all condemned Bai and Yan Makeup.
"I said earlier that this Mrs. Yan is not a good bird, and if she can't give birth to a son, she wants to occupy the family business, our city lord is really unlucky, and she has this kind of poisonous woman."
The peddlers and pawns outside pointed and pointed, and Mrs. Broken Mouth fanned the flames, first, the atmosphere was high.
"She is just the daughter of the Bai family, and if she does this kind of unconscionable thing to corrupt the lintel, I'm afraid the Bai family won't let her go."
This matter is a big matter, and I believe that it will soon reach the ears of the Bai family, and it will not be too late for them to send someone to arrive.
Some officials brought up all the incriminating evidence collected yesterday, including Yan Xu's medicine residue, Yan Hao's broken screen, the remnants of the toad hidden in the screen, and the account book of the medicine shop.
The county order was eye-catching again, reminding the onlookers outside to be quiet, and asked in a deep voice.
"This is the evidence of the crime brought up by the Yan family, the poison of the toad can be taken out to harm people, and it is only for today that it is hibernating. Yan, you are really calm. β
As Qin Huai thought, Yan Xiangcheng was not so easy to accept her fate, and she must have thought of all the words of rejection this night.
"My lord, this toad does have it, but it has been placed in the screen outside my bed, and it is only used for insect repellent purposes, so why is it involved in this matter. You also said that this toad was purchased by me a year ago, why should I choose to murder my grandfather today, I am just a woman of the Yan family, and it is difficult to pick the pillar. β
This also makes sense, but the county order was unmoved and continued to look at each other coldly.
"The mouth is like a river! There are many good medicines for insect repellent and ant removal in the world, and the camphor and realgar can all be wished, so why bother to choose the highly poisonous toad. β
In fact, Yan Xiangcheng wants to get away with the crime, unless she continues to throw this black cauldron to Yan Mo, as long as she insists that this toad is not another toad, then the chance of a retrial of this case will also increase.
Qin Huai listened nervously to the movement, he was afraid that Yan Cheng would have a trick, after all, Qin Huai had experienced such a thing that almost succeeded more than once.
"I've always liked the few things in the world. The toad can repel insects and can also be used in paintings, which is a godsend. Could it be that I have to report something to the adults in my boudoir? β
The fact that she can still calm down on such occasions shows the strength of her heart, which is enough to prove how eager she is to achieve her wishes.
Many people outside the hall have turned against each other, thinking that there is still an inside story in this matter, and the county order is also hesitant, looking at Yan Mo, who has not moved, and immediately stops it.
"Since you don't want to confess, then don't blame the official for the execution, come onββ"
"Your Excellency may have heard my name and my rumors, you can ask in this Yunzhou, am I the one who will murder my grandfather and instigate my mother to covet family wealth in the eyes of everyone? In the past two months, my Yan family has had many accidents, and many disputes have caused me to keep to myself. Or is someone trying to make my Yan family the target of public criticism? β
Yan Xiangcheng interrupted with a rash remark, and then understood the reason, turning himself into a poor person who was framed by someone, and won it all.
"What do you mean......"
Qin Huai was shocked, Yan Cheng wanted to tell her identity as a princess.
She is threatening herself, if she can't get out of the country today, will she rather be broken?
At this time, Yan Mo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, intercepted the topic, and led the spearhead to Yan Xiangcheng again.
"My lord, my second sister's heart is higher than the sky, since she knew that our Yan family had a noble concubine, she was bent on stepping into the palace gate, but my grandfather had already admonished that the children of the Yan family were not allowed to step into Xunyang City for half a step. Seeing that he is getting older, he may not be able to make this decision as he wishes, and his femme fatale heart can be seen. β
Yan Mo would say such a thing, which really made Qin Huai unexpected.
"Yo, it's a person who wants to cling to the powerful, and he even wants to be the second Miss Cijing, our Miss Cijing can be compared, and he doesn't look in the mirror, it's really not a shame."
"That is, our Miss Cijing was the best in Yunzhou in martial arts back then, and she was also one of the best nobles in the country, so she was favored by Your Majesty. Makeup? Is she worthy! β
"If it weren't for the fact that the old city lord was too sad because of the loss of his beloved daughter, and didn't let us mention Miss Cijing, then Miss Cijing would really be a model for my Yunzhou woman, and it would definitely be included in the document and spread on."
Seeing that the people of Yunzhou could evaluate his mother like this, Qin Huai was very relieved. At this moment, she is even more determined in her original intention, she must not let her mother be ashamed because of herself, so that her mother will always be the legend of Yinzhou City, and she will always be the favorite concubine of her father.
After listening to it for so long, Bai's expression also changed back and forth, one moment was glad that Yan Xiangcheng still had a way to deal with it, and the other time he was worried that those followers of Yan Cijing would cause trouble again.
In the end, the county order is a person who understands, and he has already made a conclusion in his heart, and now the Yan family is the trend of the times, while the Bai family is dying and struggling, and they can't become the climate.
"That's the case, according to the official's opinion, the Bai family's goddaughter is not strict, which caused this chaos. The Yan family's letter of resignation has been handed to the court, and the official sentenced the Yan family to divorce his wife, whether you accept it or not. β
What a shame it is to be ordered to divorce his wife by his parents in the public court, since the opening of Yunzhou, there are only a handful of such scenes.
Bai's face was extremely bad, looking at everyone in front of him was shy and timid, and he couldn't show his anger, and he was completely blocked in his chest.
"I, I don't admit it, if you want to divorce your wife, you should also let my husband come in person, even if you are the county order, how can you cut off my family history!"
The county magistrate shook his head, very disappointed in the stubborn woman, and was about to order her to draw a charge, and deal with one thing first, but Yan Mo spoke again.
"Bai Shi, don't you admit your mistake until now? Instead of thinking about how to save face, it is better to think about what to do after being suspended, you don't think that the Bai family will take the abandoned people back to the Bai family to serve the old age, right? β
This is also what Qin Huai wanted to say, she expected it from the beginning, the Bai family would definitely not put an abandoned woman in the mansion who was difficult to count, what a shrewd person the old lady of the Bai family, since she was cold to her face at the beginning, now for the sake of the Bai family's face, what is it to give up a concubine.
"You deceive people too much!"
The Bai family couldn't hide her anger at this time, thinking about where the noble she had been squeezed and harsh like this, and she couldn't stand the gap in identity overnight.
There were also people outside, and the noise overshadowed the voices in front of the hall for a while.
Yan Xiangcheng quietly pulled Bai's sleeve when everyone was not paying attention.
"Mother, now everything is a foregone conclusion. Qin Huai, that slut, just wants to see us lose power, presumably we have already bought off the government, and we can't escape easily. β
Without waiting for Bai Shi to refute, Yan Xiangcheng's eyes flashed with coldness, as if he had been prepared, and said slowly.
"If my daughter has a chance, she will definitely seek justice for her mother and let this slut ...... Doom to come. β
For a moment, Bai felt sweaty behind his back, and the whole person seemed to be frozen.
She didn't seem to recognize her daughter a little.
In her opinion, Yan Xiangcheng has always been well-behaved and obedient, and she never causes trouble, which is what she is most at ease, but today she actually said such a thing......
Bai Shi trembled, thinking that she had misheard, and she asked for confirmation in a voice that was difficult for others to hear.
"Makeup...... You are, forced to die for your mother. β
Yan Cheng's face was as usual, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied with lips.
"Shouldn't mothers give everything for their children?"
β¦β¦
It seemed to be raining outside, like fog and smoke, and the slightest wisps of it were entangled.
Seeing that this matter was stalemate, the county magistrate couldn't help but ask: "Bai, this official asks again, do you accept this letter of resignation or not." β
"My lord, the reason for this incident is that the people are alone, if you want to blame the people's women, it's better to blame the people's women."
What do you mean?
"It's the people's women who are jealous, blame God for not giving me a son to inherit the family business, blame God for obviously taking away Yan Mo's biological mother, but still keep this man to answer me all day long."
"I hate, Yan Lu is the lord of the city, but he can't level a bowl of water, and he doesn't dare to step into Xunyang for fear of his father's orders, so that my two daughters will waste their lives in vain! So a year ago, the women planned this matter, in order to be prosperous and rich in the future, and then hid the toad in her daughter's bed. Now that it has been planted, the women of the people have confessed their sins. β
The sudden anti-transfer county order caught him off guard, and Qin Huai, who was listening in Zuotang, was unexpected.
How could someone like Bai confess his guilt so easily.
"In this case, Bai has pleaded guilty, redrafted a copy of the crime for him to sign and detain, and then pressed the ......"
"Heyβ"
Qin Huai only heard a slam in the left hall, and saw Mingyue covering her mouth and her eyes were distracted, and the outside suddenly quieted down, which she had a bad premonition.
