Go over and arrest the two women who disobey my orders and wantonly disturb the order of the court, and give each one ten strokes with a rod! Xu Nian hurriedly pointed to the two women, and commanded the five guards with sticks on the left in a deep voice.

The matter involved insulting Prince Zhao, and he didn't dare to slack off for a moment.

"Yes! My lord. Five guards with sticks immediately rushed towards the two women.

Among the two women, the middle-aged woman who looked a little similar to Chu Yunqing's wife Zhu was so frightened that she subconsciously turned around and slipped away.

The old woman, who looks a little similar to Zhu County, is much bolder.

Not only did she not turn around, but she also straightened her neck and scolded loudly: "Xu Nian, you are so bold!" I'm Concubine Yun's cousin! You-"

She could not say the rest of the words, because one of the guards who had come to arrest her had already taken a coarse cloth from his bosom and stuffed it into her mouth, so that she could not speak.

As for the middle-aged woman who turned around and slipped away, she was soon caught by the two guards and gagged with a coarse cloth handkerchief.

Next, they were given a cane in public.

The basic procedure is similar to Jiang Bai and Zheng Gang's cane execution in Chu Mansion.

After ten rods, the two women almost fainted.

Jiang Bai and Zheng just lifted them down from the high stool, and they lay on the ground without moving for a long time.

The people who watched the excitement all learned their lessons, and stood very solemnly one by one, not to mention whispering, and even the sound of breathing seemed to be gradually decreasing.

Xu Nian was more satisfied.

He looked at the two guards who accompanied Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang and stood at the door of the west door, and commanded loudly: "Take the plaintiff." ”

"Yes." The two guards immediately took Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang and walked to the middle of the court.

"Xiaomin Zheng Bang, see Lord Zhixian!" Zheng Bang followed the rules and gave Xu Nian a salute.

"Minnu Xiao Qiongzhi, see Lord Zhixian!" Xiao Qiongzhi found it interesting to perform the Jianghu salute, and deliberately followed suit.

Xu Nian waved his hand at them gently, and asked loudly, "You just beat the drum and shouted grievances, what grievances do you have?" ”

"Here's the thing, I am the daughter of Chu Yunqing of Chu Mansion and my only sister Chu Yunniang...... Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly repeated the two statements that Zheng Bang said when Zheng Bang beat the drum outside the yamen and inquired about the news.

After listening carefully, Xu Nian turned his head to look at Jiang Bai, Zheng Gang, and several other guards, and ordered them in a loud voice: "Take the defendant." ”

Soon, Zhu Countywei, Chang An, Zhu, and Bai Lingling were all taken to the middle of the court.

Chang An honestly followed the rules, gave Xu Nian a salute, and reported his name.

Zhu didn't know when he woke up from a coma.

She was seriously injured and was helped to the middle of the court by two guards.

Soon, she noticed that the middle-aged woman who looked a little similar to her was slumped to the ground.

She seemed very surprised, but she became a lot more honest, like Chang An, according to the rules, obediently saluted Xu Nian and reported her identity.

As for Zhu County Lieutenant and Bai Lingling, because they didn't wear any clothes and were tied together, they became the focus of attention of all the onlookers and lively people from the moment they appeared.

Fortunately, everyone has just seen the tragic situation of the two women who were each subjected to ten rods just now, and no one dared to whisper, but one by one, they couldn't help but come out, and the sound of inhaling with shock was full of contempt and ridicule when they looked at him.

County Lieutenant Zhu had never been so embarrassed, he was so angry that he straightened his neck, his eyes widened, and he glared at Xu Nian with hatred.

Fortunately, his mouth, before, was blocked by Xiao Qiongzhi with the hairband on his head.

Otherwise, he would have to scold Xu Nian.

And Bai Lingling, on the other hand, saw the wind and steered the rudder, and actively saluted Xu Nian and reported his name according to the rules.

Xu Nian just glanced at her lightly, then looked at Chang An, and ordered in a deep voice: "Chang An, you tell your cousin Zhu Yu about the causes and consequences of yesterday's decision to arrest Zheng Bang and Xiao Qiongzhi, as well as what you saw with your own eyes, your cousin Zhu Yu led people and injured Liu Wuxiu and Zhou Dayong, and told me in detail in public. ”

"Yes, my lord, that's the ......" Chang An unequivocally said all the relevant situations seriously.

After finishing speaking, he also deliberately identified Bai Lingling again as a masked woman with a long neck.

Bai Lingling didn't deny it again this time.

After all, she had already put all the blame on County Lieutenant Zhu before, and now, even if she admits this, it is nothing.

She pretended to be aggrieved and helpless, stretched out her hand and pointed at the county lieutenant Zhu who was tied to her, and told Chang An: "Didn't you pay attention to what I said to the little girl before?" All of this was done by Lieutenant Zhu County. I'm also innocent. ”

"Then do you know why County Lieutenant Zhu killed my cousin?" Chang An asked a little puzzled.

"I don't know, maybe it's because your cousin knows about him, what secret is it?" Bai Lingling said casually.

Zhu had been quietly listening to their conversation, and at this time, inspired by it, he suddenly had an idea, and suddenly said, "I know what's going on!" ”

provoked Xiao Qiongzhi, Prince Zhao, Xu Nian, and Zheng Yuan, and they couldn't help but look at her.

Although there is Bai Lingling's testimony that the charge of Zhu County's participation in the murder of Liu Wuxiu and Zhou Dayong can be confirmed, Liu Wuxiu and Zhou Dayong are still alive, and this charge cannot constitute a big blow to Zhu Countywei.

If the death of Zhu Yu and his four subordinates can be confirmed on the body of Zhu County Lieutenant, then Zhu County Lieutenant will only have a dead end.

I believe that the ordinary people who are watching the excitement will inevitably have the courage to take the opportunity to report and expose him, and more criminal facts will make him completely doomed.

And this is what Xiao Qiongzhi, Prince Zhao, Xu Nian, and Zheng Yuan, who have clearly stood on the opposite side with Zhu County, are happy to see it.

"Zhu, now is the only chance for you to atone, tell me quickly, what's going on?" Zheng Yuan reminded Zhu in due course.

"My younger brother told me at the beginning of the month that Zhu Xiuwei once took him to his house for a drink, and after getting drunk, he told him that he had a marriage contract with Concubine Yun Niangniang in the palace, and he had quietly been together in a tight relationship, and Concubine Yun's Yuanpa has been kept by him so far."

"He showed it to my brother that day." Zhu replied seriously.

After Chu Yunqing visited flowers in high school last year, she was able to be arranged by the King of Chu to enter Beijing as an official, thanks to Concubine Yun's mother, who contributed to it.

Originally, she wasn't going to tell anyone about it.

However, in order to avenge her brother, this time, she can't control so much.

"Xu Nian, you immediately arrange for someone to go to the Governor's Mansion of Zhu County to search for Concubine Yun's Yuanpa!"

"Zhu Qian, Bai Yuanmo, you also go over together, be sure to find out the handkerchief!" Prince Zhao hurriedly seized the opportunity and ordered without hesitation.

If what the Zhu family said is true, it means that Concubine Yun is not complete before her father.

Although, there are many monarchs nowadays, and when they take concubines, they don't care about this, but Concubine Yun is different.

Concubine Yun and her other six sisters were all innocent and the daughters of Wei Feng, the national teacher of Daxiao, who were assigned by Emperor Daxiao to the monarchs of various countries as side concubines.

In addition, when Concubine Yun was accepted as a concubine by his father Wang for nearly eight months, she gave birth to a baby boy prematurely.

But this baby boy, weighing seven pounds, does not look like a premature baby at all, and looks strange.

His mother, Queen Jiang, and his grandmother, Queen Mother Jiang, always felt that something was wrong.

At that time, it was his father who said that it was certain that when Concubine Yun was with his father, her chastity was still there.

His grandmother and his mother didn't suspect it anymore.

Now it seems that these things are not simple.
