Chapter 208: Li Hanyao: It's better to live than to die
Watching chess was refreshed, and my eyes lit up.
Li Zhuohang's heart also fell back into his chest.
Jian Fan was also overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered Luo Wuchen and the others to retreat aside, don't go far, listen to orders at any time, and order Wenzhi and Zhou Hua to go to the court.
He thought: Wen Zhi and Zhou Hua are magistrates, and it has been two or three days since the Jiangjia shipyard was burned, so they must have checked some things and asked them to save some trouble.
When he was young, two officials hurried to the court: the scarlet coat was about forty years old; The green-clothed man was nearly fifty years old, and he bowed his hands and said, "Xiaguan Wenzhi (Zhou Hua) has seen Lord Qincha. β
Jian Fan raised his hand and said, "No courtesy." β
The two of them withdrew their hands, but they didn't dare to straighten up and look directly at Lord Qincha, but still bowed slightly, waiting for Lord Qincha's orders.
Jian Fan said: "Zhou Hua-"
After screaming, I saw the old man in green kneeling down with a "plop", and said tremblingly: "The lower official is guilty!" The lower official is guilty! β
Simplified and Traditional: "......"
He hadn't asked anything yet.
After a silent meeting, he was called "Zhou Hua." β
Zhou Hua prostrate on the ground and said to the ground bricks: "The lower official is here." β
Jian Fan said: "Why did the Jiangjia shipyard catch fire? Tell the truth. β
Zhou Hua said: "Xiaguan should be damned...... Dereliction of duty...... Failure to prevent problems before they occur...... Ask for mercy from the lords, and allow the officials to atone for their sins......"
Jian Fan asked, "What have you checked?" β
Zhou Hua said: "The lower official should be damned......"
He was only at the bottom of the list when he was in his forties, and he entered the official career, and he sat in the position of county magistrate for seven or eight years. On the seaside at the mouth of the three rivers, he is the emperor of the soil, and he is used to being powerful and blessed. It's rare to see a decent official all year round, Chen Fei is the uncle in front of him, not to mention that today I saw Lord Qincha. He thought that the Jiang family's shipyard had burned down, and such a big thing had happened, and he had done it as an official.
He was only worried about the black gauze hat on his head, and he only cared about pleading, but he didn't hear what Jian Fan asked him clearly, and he couldn't say anything.
Jian Fan has been an official for many years, so it's not strange.
There are many officials in the world, how can they all be outstanding. This week Hua is good, and there are even worse.
But the young man in the hall couldn't see it. These people - Wang Yan, Zhang Jinyan, Luo Wuchen, Ning Zhiyuan, Dongguo Wuming, Fang Yisheng...... Which one is not amazingly talented, seeing Zhou Hua's bearded old official, he actually has this cowardly image, where there is the slightest bit of official demeanor and majesty, they are all disdainful, disappointed, and worried - worried about the future of Dajing!
Jian Mao saw it, and he was not very comfortable.
He didn't bother to talk to Zhou Hua anymore, and shouted: "You are damned!" Someone came, took off his black veil, and went to his official uniform. Take it down! β
Zhou Hua's legs weakened and he fell to the ground.
Soon, he was dragged down.
The prefect of Ningbo Wen Zhi was sweating on his forehead, but he could still maintain his composure, so he heard the above call "Wen Zhi", and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The lower official is here." β
Jian Fan asked: "Can you find out the inside story of the fire in the Jiangjia shipyard?" β
Wen Zhi said: "Time is pressing, and the lower officials have not had time to investigate in detail." But on the way here, Xia Guan has already asked clearly: Behind this fire, there is a big implication. Lord Chin sent witnesses to the court, and he knew when he asked. β
This time it's organized.
Below, Ning Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Zhi is a friend of his father, and he is the same as Jian Fan, and if his performance is too poor, he will also feel that his face is dull.
Jian Fan said: "Bring witnesses to court!" β
Wen Zhidao: "Yes." β
Because he turned around and shouted outward: "Take the Jiang family shipyard Steward Zhao, the craftsman Jiang Dashan, Miss Wu and Miss Wu's maidservant ......"
Then a group of people came in Hulala, and Li Hanyao was also among them, but it was just the appearance of watching chess; There is also a stretcher, on which is a person lying on it, with his head and face intact, and his body burned black and shrunken, it is Wu Peirong.
Liu Shiyu and the other women were taken aback when they saw it.
Jian Fan also asked in surprise: "Who is this?" β
Wen Zhi said: "Jiang Rucheng's fiancΓ©e, Wu Peirong, a girl from the Wu family who is a textile merchant." Unable to speak, her life is on the verge of dying, and she is still more than a month pregnant. β
Jian hurriedly said: "In this case, why don't you send her to be healed, but take her to court?" If there is any grievance, it will be relayed on behalf of someone. β
Wen Zhi said: "My lord: This woman is dustless because of her private admiration for the talented son of Jiangnan, and she is dissatisfied with the family affairs set by her elders for her. In order to marry Luo Wuchen, she secretly colluded with Pan Ziyu and Chen Fei to murder Jiang Rucheng by despicable means, in a vain attempt to marry Luo Wuchen after Jiang Rucheng's death. successively planned the pirate case and the Jiang family extermination case, and even the future mother-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, was buried in the fire, and her heart was extremely vicious......"
He only cared about talking, but he didn't know that Jiang Rulan was in the hall.
Jiang Rulan didn't know the news that her mother was burned to death, and Guanqi didn't dare to tell her, but she heard it all. After staying for a moment, he suddenly threw himself on the stretcher like crazy, choked Wu Peirong's neck, and screamed, "Slut!" β
Watching chess, Li Hanyao hurriedly grabbed her.
The Jiang family was destroyed, and Mrs. Jiang was the only remaining light in Jiang Rulan's life, and now this light has also been extinguished, and her life has fallen into darkness.
She didn't strangle Wu Peirong, but she couldn't bear another heavy blow, and cried out sadly, "Mother! And he fainted.
Jian Fan saw that there was chaos in the hall and could not be tried again, so he ordered Jiang Rulan to be sent down to the court.
Li Hanyao hurriedly went to make arrangements for embroidery, and the servants of the Li family sent her cousin back.
After the silence, the trial continued.
Jian Fan pointed at Wu Peirong and asked, "Who is the child in her womb?" β
It won't be Jiang Rucheng's.
Is it dust-free?
He looked at Luo Wuchen suspiciously.
Ning Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "It's definitely not my brother's!" β
Everyone looked at him in amazement, wondering why he was so sure.
Luo Wuchen was looked at by everyone and was embarrassed.
Wen Zhi hurriedly said: "This is evidenced by the confession of her maid Xiao Tao: she is pregnant with Pan Zichen's child. β
Everyone was stunned - how did you get involved with Pan Zichen?
Jian Fan ordered Xiao Tao to step forward and reply.
Xiao Tao knelt down with tears in her eyes and confessed: how Wu Peirong admired Luo Wuchen, how she hated Li Hanyao, how she brought the letter into Guanyue Tower, and how she tricked Luo Wuchen into going to Li's house to paint a boat, wanting to take advantage of Pan Zichen's attack on Li Hanyao, pretending to be a victim and doing good things with Luo Wuchen...... Who knows, Li Hanyao didn't go to the painting boat at all. Wu Peirong was killed by Pan Zichen, and then she became pregnant.
Jian Fan asked: "What about dustless?" β
Xiao Tao said: "Ran away." β
Ning Zhiyuan immediately stepped forward and said, "Students in this section can testify. That night, the brother escaped by swimming and was rescued by the students. Then he was poisoned and asked him for help.
Luo Wuchen was ashamed - he knew that he couldn't hide it, because Pan Zichen saw him at that time. If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do!
All the teenagers looked at Luo Wuchen sympathetically, and they all felt bad for him, it was a nightmare to be liked by a woman like Wu Peirong; The girls didn't expect Wu Peirong to be this kind of person, which simply turned their lives upside down.
Li Hanyao stood beside Guan Qi and looked at Wu Peirong hatefullyβthis is the look that Guan Qi should haveβas if asking, "It doesn't taste good, right?" β
Wu Peirong is not only uncomfortable, it is better to live than to die.
She would rather be burned to death by fire than be exposed to all her personal affairs and ruin in front of all the ladies and teenagers!
Especially, when it falls dust-free.
Li Hanyao, you are so vicious!
This shame is comparable to the lower eighteen layers of hell.
Wu Peirong stared at Xiao Tao deadly, hoping that Xiao Tao would look at her and understand the meaning of her eyes. She doesn't blame Xiao Tao for betraying her, Xiao Tao is for the Wu family and her parents. However, if you confess, why not confess thoroughly?
Why don't you say that Li Hanyao and Guanqi swapped identities?
Expose them!
Let Li Hanyao enter the palace!
Can't let the chess watch take her place!
Can't let Li Hanyao marry dustless!
Just as Li Hanyao knew how to treat Wu Peirong, it hit her the hardest; Wu Peirong also knew that Li Hanyao didn't care about glory and wealth, let Li Hanyao enter the palace, and if she didn't let her marry Ruyi Langjun, she would be tortured for life!
