Chapter 149: Proving Innocence
"She's a victim?" Fu Hong saw Fu Wenxiu come forward to speak, his expression softened slightly, he held his chin with one hand and said in a deep voice: "How can you say this?" ”
Fu Wenxiu looked at Si Nan, not only him, but everyone present turned their eyes to her, and even a few officials had mocking eyes.
That's right, Sinan's identity is embarrassing, in the eyes of outsiders, she is a sinner who has a relationship with a wild man, gives birth to an ominous son, corrupts the style of the family, and is a waste who can't cultivate, the only thing she can rely on is her appearance like a country and a city, so now in the eyes of outsiders, she is now a slut who hugs the prince's thigh, and everyone is waiting to see her ugly.
But...... Hehe, she Sinan's dictionary has never had the word "ugly".
Hearing this, Sinan slowly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, what happened back then, I listened to the words of the dealer and the Si family, have you really investigated it thoroughly?" ”
Hearing this, Fu Hong's face sank, and his face immediately turned wrong, and there was anger in his cold voice: "Are you questioning me for not investigating strictly and being suspected of favoritism?!" ”
Ask yourself, Fu Hong really didn't make a bowl of water flat for the things of the year, but he is the emperor, even if there are thousands of wrongs, it is not the turn of others to accuse.
"The women don't dare." Sinan tugged at the corners of his mouth and continued: "It's just that there was really another secret back then, if the innocence of the people's daughter has been insulted because of this, I am really unwilling, let me ask the emperor, if you are framed for innocence, you can't go back to your home, you can't say that you have suffering, can you swallow your breath?" ”
"You!" Fu Hong was about to take the case, but after looking at Fu Wenxiu, since this matter was his own child, he couldn't refute too much, so he had to hold back his anger and said withholdingly: "That's it, you say, I want to see what flowers you can say!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sinan bowed, and then took out something from his pocket.
Fu Wenxiu looked at her, his eyes were a little more worried, he had been in the officialdom for many years, he knew how carefully these old fritters in the officialdom were doing, could Sinan really find strong evidence?
And the others mostly looked at Sinan with a joke in their eyes, Si Chengyun and the dealer had long hated Si Nan, not to mention that she was the only descendant of the Nalan family, and it was hard to get rid of her, but they didn't believe that the evidence of the false accusation three years ago could still be obtained.
Si Nan didn't know what these old thieves thought in their hearts, of course they didn't want her to clear her innocence, if she clarified what happened back then, Si Nan would naturally become the most reasonable heir of the Si family, and this big fat meat would not be able to reach her mouth.
Hehe, it's beautiful to think about!
"Your Majesty, please see, this is the sales record of Baicaotang's drug three years ago, and there is only one transaction in the whole year, which is sold to Zhuang Shuiqin's personal maid."
The list of sales records was handed over to Fu Hong by the eunuch himself, and while he was looking at it, Sinan said.
"At that time, I had an in-law relationship with King Zhou, and Zhuang Shuiqin and Si Meng drugged my food, and broke the marriage contract in the name of being a good person with me, so that Si Meng could marry into the royal family."
Fu Hong's eyes fell on the list, his expression was solemn, this is indeed the sales record of Baicaotang, or the copy of the shopkeeper's backup, it can be seen that Zhuang Shuiqin and Si Meng did destroy the real evidence back then, but they didn't know that the shopkeeper still had a spare one in his hand.
"This item is indeed the sales record of Baicaotang." Fu Hong put the paper in his hand on the table and looked up at Sinan.
As soon as Fu Hong's voice fell, the corners of Fu Wenxiu's mouth immediately rose slightly, although the arc was not large, and he himself lowered his head, so that almost no one could see it, when compared to Fu Wenxiu, the disappointment on the faces of other officials was not too obvious.
"But......" Fu Hong's words changed and sneered: "The words after this are all said by yourself, and it does not prove your innocence." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Fu Wenxiu and the others' expressions change.
Fu Wenxiu clenched his fists, his brows furrowed, and he just wanted to rush forward to reason with Fu Hong, but was stopped by Si Nan.
"I have another witness, I wonder if the emperor can listen to me?" Sinan didn't have half a bit of annoyance in his expression, but asked with a smile.
This smile suddenly made Fu Hong a little incomprehensible, he looked directly at Si Nan, with a bit of scrutiny in his expression, as early as when the Si family and the Zhuang family betrayed and chose to stand on Fu Wenlang's side, he sent someone to put the people of these two families in the dungeon, because the evidence was not conclusive, so he did not raid the house for a long time, where did he come from.
Fu Hong thought for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Please." ”
Where did the witness come from, it was clearly Sinan's struggle before he died.
"Okay." The corners of Sinan's lips twitched slightly, a sneer bloomed on his beautiful face, and he said loudly: "Bring people up!" ”
Si Nanqing's cool and crisp voice echoed above the hall for a long time, until the aftersound was gone, and no one came, and the longer the time, the more discussions in the hall became.
"It can't be a lie, I haven't seen anyone come for so long."
"Hmph, she's bluffing, she doesn't shed tears when she doesn't see the coffin, where is the witness, the news of King Zhou's rebellion came to Kyoto, and the emperor sent someone to put all the people of the Si family and the Zhuang family in the dungeon, can she find a witness?"
"That's the case, heh, either say what kind of father will give birth to what kind of child, this Sinan is really the same as Si Cheng, he is a fool!"
The sound of discussion did not shy away from reaching Sinan's ears, foul language, scolding and everything, even Fu Wenxiu was angry when he heard it.
He glared fiercely at the sworn enemy of the former Si Carrier, who was the most cheerful, and the latter immediately closed his mouth and said no more, now that Fu Wenxiu was sitting firmly in the position of Prince Fu Wenxiu, and had made great achievements, no one dared to offend him.
Fu Wenxiu retracted his gaze, looked at Sinan, and said worriedly: "Sinan, is there really a witness?" ”
"Even you don't believe me?"
"No, I'm just ......"
Fu Wenxiu just wanted to explain, but was directly interrupted by Si Nan: "Believe me, just watch it honestly and see how I made this group of old immortals shut up their stinky mouths!" ”
Seeing the arrogant woman who was not a little nervous in front of her, and the corners of her slightly hooked lips even had a bit of a good show, Fu Wenxiu's heart settled down for some reason, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll watch." ”
As soon as the two finished speaking, they heard a commotion at the door of the main hall.
"Why didn't you let me in, and if you delay the delivery of witnesses, can you be responsible? The emperor and the nobles inside blamed it, can you be a little guard in charge! ”
"I ......"
"What am I, open the door quickly, there are so many people in there waiting for you!"
"But ......"
"Don't do it, open the door!"
The voice outside was heard clearly by everyone in the hall, not only the officials present showed shocked expressions one by one, but even Fu Hong was very surprised, he didn't think that Sinan could really find a witness, and besides, it was still like this...... Arrogant witnesses.
The corners of Sinan's mouth rose, who else could trespass into the palace so justifiably, and who else could do such a spicy thing?
In fact, before setting off from Huzhou City, Sinan instructed Xiaorou to go back to Kyoto in advance to find a witness, firstly, her cultivation is very low, and it is useless to follow her, and secondly, as a cat demon, it is most suitable for her to lurk in prison and rob people.
The noise outside the door became louder and louder, and Fu Wenxiu immediately shouted: "Open the door and bring people in!" ”
With a squeak, the door opened, and I saw Xiaorou come in with a maid in coarse cloth and plain clothes, and the two stood in front of the hall and saluted Fu Honggong respectfully.
Fu Hong glanced at the two of them a few times, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes, and Zhang Zicheng, who was closest to the throne under the seat, was even more stunned, and his eyes couldn't wait to stare at the people in the hall.
Because, the person next to the maid is the person he has been thinking about day and night for so many years - Xiaorou!!
He trembled with excitement, excitement flashing in his dark eyes, almost gritting his teeth to resist the urge to rush up and take the man away.
Sinan glanced at Zhang Zicheng, and at this time, the other party also looked at her, the two looked at each other, and their thoughts in each other's hearts were clear at a glance.
"This is the witness you brought?" Fu Hong looked at Sinan and asked in a deep voice.
"Exactly." Sinan nodded, pointed to the plain-clothed maid and said, "This person is the personal maid Qingmei next to Zhuang Shuiqin, and she was the one who went to Baicaotang to get the drug three years ago." ”
Fu Hong's eyes rolled, "What the hell is going on, tell everything you know, if there is a lie, I will not let you go!" ”
Fu Hong's voice was coercive, with the powerful aura of the superior, and Qingmei trembled when she landed, her legs were weak, and she knelt on the ground and sobbed: "The emperor forgives the sins, the emperor forgives the sins, the slave and maid say everything!" ”
"The medicine in Baicaotang is indeed Zhuang Shuiqin asked the slave maid to get it, she and Si Meng saw Si Nan as a thorn in the flesh in the eye, so they thought of a way to drug Si Nan, one can transfer the marriage of King Zhou, let Si Meng become the future princess of Zhou, and the other can also get rid of Si Nan, so ...... That's why it happened three years ago. ”
"Not only that, Si Meng and Zhuang Shuiqin also did a lot of things to frame Si Nan back then, and the death of the Si family's first mother is also inseparable from them!"
The maid told the cause and effect of the incident, knelt on the ground and sobbed and said: "Your Majesty, there is no half a lie in what the slave and maid said, all of them are true, please ask the emperor to spare the slave and maid, and the slave and maid were also forced by Zhuang Shuiqin, please ask the emperor to spare the slave and maid's life!" ”
Fu Hong's face was gloomy and he listened to this maid's words, his eyes were thoughtful, and he pondered for a long time before he said, "What does Lord Zhang think about this?" ”
Since Zhang Zicheng led his troops to protect Kyoto, Fu Hong's trust in him has become higher and higher, and he even has the intention of cultivating him as the next prime minister.
But Zhang Zicheng's mind was all on Xiaorou from beginning to end, and his eyes never left Xiaorou, but he was not stupid, Xiaorou was in Sinan's hands, so he naturally wanted to speak to Sinan.
He pretended to think for a moment, stepped forward and said: "The minister thinks that this matter should be true, there are all human and material evidence, and this matter is really disgraceful for a woman, if Sinan doesn't really want to prove his innocence, why should he take out this thing that is already in the past for others?" ”
