Chapter 362: You Are All Sinful
"Lord Shizi, even so, Mrs. Zhou's youngest son obviously has handwritten letters in his hand that Wei Feng colluded with Xidi, but he has never handed over these letters to Chen Xiang, how is it different from shielding Wei Feng?"
"Weichen feels that the Wang family is still guilty." Wang Zhengrong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, followed closely and said.
"What Wang Shangshu said makes sense, although what Mrs. Zhou did, although it is excusable, but she hurt my mother and shielded Wei Feng and Wei Feng's cronies, and the crime is not light." Xiao Qiongzhi glanced at Wang Zhengrong approvingly and said solemnly.
Her grandmother, Mrs. Chen, treats Mrs. Zhou's family well, and her betrayal of Mrs. Zhou's behavior is absolutely unsupportable.
It's about interpersonal order and the rules of life.
It is also Chen Lingfeng's fate, and when she gave birth to her, she was saved by Guan Zhongzhi, who has superb medical skills, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Princess Zhong Ling, you are right, the old slave almost killed Mrs. Shizi and you in order to protect his family, and he was guilty of a lot of sin, and the old slave was willing to die to apologize."
"I just ask you and Mrs. Shizi, for the sake of the old slave's innocent family, and let the old slave's family have a way to live." Mrs. Zhou hurriedly looked at Xiao Qiongzhi, kowtowed to her more than a dozen times, and then said very sincerely.
Xiao Qiongzhi glanced at her with pity, shook her head lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Zhou, you just said that when Wei Feng's cronies asked you to do what he ordered, you discussed it with your husband. ”
"And Wei Feng's cronies went back on their word, didn't want you to pay back the money, and insisted that you act according to him, even if you didn't tell your family about it, your family should be able to see that things are not simple from the fact that your money has not been repaid."
"Including what you also mentioned, the youngest son quietly followed Wei Feng's cronies, which shows that he is in the know."
"After so many years of this, your whole family, as servants who signed a deed of sale with the Chen Mansion, has never told my grandfather or my grandmother about it. Is this different from shielding Wei Feng and his cronies? ”
"You are all guilty! It's just that your loved ones will be less guilty of your crimes. ”
"What Zhi'er said is very true." When Xiao Xuanliang heard this, he suddenly spoke.
He beckoned Xiao Qiongzhi to him, discussed with Xiao Qiongzhi in a low voice, glanced at Mrs. Zhou with a cold expression, and said loudly: "Now start announcing the verdict!" ”
"Mrs. Zhou was threatened by Wei Feng's cronies, and in accordance with the instructions of Wei Feng's cronies, she put too much tonic medicine in the food of Mrs. Shizi of the Prince's Mansion, which caused Mrs. Shizi of the Prince's Mansion to have a difficult birth, and her body was seriously damaged during childbirth, and she has not been able to give birth again.
"However, Princess Zhong Ling remembered that Mrs. Zhou's conscience was still clear, and she did not fully follow the instructions of Wei Feng's cronies, and pleaded with me for Mrs. Zhou, so she was exempted from the death penalty and exiled to Northern Xinjiang as a military slave."
"Mrs. Zhou's eldest son is a gambler, which indirectly led Mrs. Zhou to accept threats from Wei Feng's cronies, and has been concealing crimes for Mrs. Zhou, and the crime is unforgivable, exiled to Western Xinjiang, and served as a military slave."
"Mrs. Zhou's youngest son found evidence that could prove Wei Feng's treason, and used it to coerce Wei Feng's cronies, so that Mrs. Zhou no longer had to be constrained by Wei Feng's cronies, and continued to murder the prince's wife.
"Mrs. Zhou's other family members also have the fault of shielding criminals, but Princess Zhong Ling thinks that they are small people in Shengdou, and it is their nature to be timid and afraid of things, so they are especially for them, and they plead with me, so they are all sentenced to be exiled to Northern Xinjiang, and their descendants within three generations cannot return to Beijing or take the imperial examination."
"Wang Shangshu, this matter, you wait until I deal with the case of Zhang Fu, according to what I said, handle it personally!" Speaking of this, Xiao Xuanliang looked at Wang Zhengrong.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Zhengrong immediately agreed loudly.
Next, Xiao Xuanliang began to pronounce sentences on the people of Wenfu and Zhangfu.
Among them, Wen Yugui is Wei Feng's mastermind who pierced Xiao Qiong's head with a needle, and is also one of the masterminds of Wei Feng's cronies who used Zhou Pozi to murder Chen Lingfeng.
Wen Tian asked his goddaughter to have no way, almost killed Xiao Qiongzhi and Chen Lingfeng, was sentenced to raid the house, and the whole family had official positions, all of them were cut to the people, and sent to northern Xinjiang, within three generations, they were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.
Zhang Fu had many sinners involved in the murder of Xiao Qiongzhi and raided his home.
Zhang Huitong was the mastermind of the murder of Xiao Qiongzhi and was sentenced to beheading.
Zhang Yuanchun was the mastermind who participated in the murder of Xiao Qiongzhi according to Zhang Huitong's plan, although there were circumstances of exposing Wen Yugui and making meritorious contributions, but the crime was unforgivable and he was sentenced to beheading.
Although Zhang Yuanchun's daughter Shi Zhu knew about it and did not report it, she was Zhang Yuanchun's daughter.
Although Zhang Chun and Zhang Liangxian did not participate in the murder of Xiao Qiongzhi, they cooperated with Zhang Huitong to pretend to be seriously injured, and they always knew that Wei Feng and Wen Yugui collaborated to murder Chen Lingfeng, but they also did not report it, and sentenced them to be reduced to the people, exiled to northern Xinjiang, and never allowed to return to Beijing.
Zhang Ruoyao has no obvious crime, and the net is open and will not be investigated.
When all the verdicts were handed down, the tens of thousands of onlookers at the entire noon gate couldn't help but whisper one after another.
"Your Majesty is really merciful, the Zhang Mansion, the Wen Mansion and the Wang family murdered Her Royal Highness Princess Zhong Ling and Mrs. Shizi, and they only beheaded a few masterminds, and did not punish their five clans."
"I think Her Royal Highness Princess Zhong Ling is more merciful, after all, it was her and her mother who murdered Zhangfu, Wenfu and the Wang family, and she could not intercede for Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou's youngest son and other family members. Especially that Shi Zhu, I heard that when she was in the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, she was very rude to Her Royal Highness Princess Zhong Ling! ”
"You don't know, originally, in other countries, there are sinners in the family, all of them are from the Zhulian Nine Clans, as far as our Da Xiao is concerned, but the Zhulian Five Clans are already very benevolent, but since Her Royal Highness Princess Zhong Ling became the Great Xiao National Teacher eight years ago, she has advocated the implementation of the Zhulian Three Clans!"
"What a fuss! Since Her Royal Highness Princess Zhong Ling became the national teacher of Da Xiao, what thing has she done for Da Xiao, is it not for the good of our people? I lived to be ninety-six years old, and I have never seen a wiser and more merciful person than her. Although I also attach importance to Zixi, if Your Majesty really puts Daxiao Jiangshan into her hands in the future, I will definitely lead the whole family to support her! ”
"Dad, you are willful, in which dynasty and generation, there are not many more excellent men than excellent women? Since the Great Xiao Royal Family can produce such an excellent woman as Her Royal Highness Princess Zhong Ling, will there not be such an excellent man as Her Royal Highness Princess Zhong Ling in the future? ”
"Get out, which dynasty and generation has there ever been such an excellent woman as Princess Zhong Ling? You dare to say that I am willful, you are very unfilial! ”
"Daddy......"
……
Xiao Qiongzhi listened to the conversation of the onlookers for a while, shook his head helplessly, and looked in the direction of the noon gate execution ground.
No matter what point of view in this world, there will basically be opposites, there will be convincing places, and unconvincing places, there is only one point of view, which is an eternal truth, that is: the strong are respected.
For example, Wen Yugui, Zhang Huitong, and Zhang Yuanchun, who are about to be beheaded now, if Xiao Qiongzhi and Xiao Xuanliang, Xiao Zhenjia, and Xiao Zhengzhen behind Xiao Qiongzhi are not strong enough, how can they force them to confess their crimes and kill them?
She believes that things are man-made, and when she makes it clear that she wants to continue to do so, at least in front of her, the vast majority of people dare not have any objections. That's enough.
