839 Imperial Petition
In a loud "mighty" sound, the public court of Jingzhao Mansion opened again.
Xia Jin's body had been dragged down, and the blood stains on the court had been cleaned up, as if nothing had happened.
The atmosphere in the public hall was a little weird, and the air was slightly condensed, like a cold wind howling in the cold winter.
Those yacha have long been surprised, serving in the yamen, they have never seen all kinds of things, and the wicked woman who bites off her man's ear in the court, this corpse or something is not a rare thing!
Mama Fang, who came with Duanmujun, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but glance at Duanmujun beside her again.
After Fang Cai Xia Jin committed suicide, Mama Fang proposed to let people go back to the princess's mansion to report the news, but was stopped by Duanmujun.
Mama Fang always felt that this case could not be good, and she was uneasy: His Royal Highness asked him to accompany Miss Duanmu to come over, he trusted himself, and he couldn't live up to His Highness's trust.
In the shouts of the yacha, Duanmu Chao and Xiao He went to the court again.
Even after a stick of incense, Xia Jin's blood splash on the spot still clearly appeared in their minds, and the faces of the couple were a little stiff, only to feel that there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air, lingering on the end of their noses.
The couple didn't expect Xia Jin to suddenly kill herself, they just felt that Xia Jin was really loyal.
Originally, the couple was also angry that Xia Jin didn't protect their daughter, but now that Xia Jin is determined to die, their anger towards Xia Jin has disappeared, and the anger in their hearts is directed at Duanmujun.
Things have come to this point, and the lives of two people are just gone, but Duanmujun, a little slut, is still stubborn and refuses to admit his guilt!
Duanmu Chao and Xiao He glared at Duanmu Jun hatefully, wishing that she would immediately splatter blood on the spot and pay for their daughter's life!
"Lord Ho!" Duanmu took a step forward, and shouted at He Yushen with grief and indignation, "Please also ask the adults to pronounce the sentence quickly, kill people to pay for their lives, and let Duanmu bow down to comfort the little girl's spirit in the sky!" β
"My hard-working daughter, you died too unjustly...... Xiao He's tears began to flow down again, and he couldn't cry.
After the public case, He Yushen was already sweating profusely.
He didn't expect things to get into trouble to this point!
Whether it is accusing the fourth girl of Duanmu of being an evil upper body, or convicting the eldest girl of Duanmu for murder, this is too fatal!
At this moment, He Yu repented that his intestines were also green, and he really wanted to turn back time, so he went back and slapped himself.
I knew that he should have withstood the pressure and retreated, and he shouldn't have asked people to go to the princess's mansion to invite Duanmujun over, even if he did that, it would inevitably attract questions from these readers, but it was definitely much better than the current situation.
After all, this case does not have to be tried by his Jingzhao Mansion, there is also Dali Temple in this capital, no matter how it works, it can also be tried by the emperor himself, why should he be a little Jingzhao Yin in this troubled water!
Hey, it's hard to buy, I knew it earlier!
Now that half of the case has been tried, and all the witnesses have died in the court of Jingzhao Mansion, and there are so many famous scholars who have witnessed it with their own eyes, it means that he has to send an arrow on the bow, and he can no longer control the situation at all.
Cold sweat from He Yushen's forehead trickled down his cheeks, and he had a splitting headache.
The interrogation stopped for a while, but the number of people watching from the outside of the public hall did not decrease but increased, and those who were studying did not leave, and even called more people from the forest to their friends, and surrounded the public court.
Whether it was the people who had just witnessed Xia Jin commit suicide, or the people who heard about the incident later, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and their dark eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and they were indignant.
Outside the court, it seemed to be surrounded by a raging fire.
Originally, these students were suspicious of Duanmu because of Wu Gu's words, but they had not yet made up their minds, and it was not until Xia Jin killed herself in court that the case was "finalized".
Xia Jin used her death to reveal the truth, and the murderer of Mrs. Yang San was Duanmujun!
It doesn't matter whether those ghosts and gods are true or not, this Duanmu girl is afraid that she will believe it.
Women and children are women and children, ignorant and ignorant, and even did not hesitate to kill her own cousin for this reason, which is really ruthless.
Obviously, the evidence is conclusive, however, Jing Zhaoyin has not yet made a judgment, it is clear that he is afraid of the power of the Shoufu family, or he is afraid that the sister of Miss Duanmu is the future queen!
This is so clear, someone wants to shield the murderer in public!
It's no wonder that this Duanmu girl is calm and relaxed from beginning to end, which is clearly a bully, and she is sure that Jing Zhaoyin will not dare to treat her!
At this moment, when these students looked at Duanmujun again, they had a different feeling.
This Duanmu girl watched a person kill herself, and her face did not change in front of her, it was not simple!
Yes, if the maid named Xia Jin hadn't been forced to a dead end by Duanmujun, why would she want to die!
This is a living human life!
The more these readers thought about it, the more indignant they became, and their hearts seemed to be burning with flames.
"Lord Ho!" A medium-sized Tsing Yi raised his hand at He Yushen in the public court, and said loudly, "Murder pays for life, please be sure to deal with it with the public, so that the murderer can get the punishment he deserves!" β
"Not bad." The other blue-clothed man also echoed loudly, looking at He Yushen with awe, "Otherwise, we will go to the palace gate to beat the drum, sue the emperor, and let the emperor call the shots!" β
The other students around were faintly led by these two people, and for a while, a chorus of echoes sounded one after another:
"That's right, that's right!"
"If the murderer can't be brought to justice, wouldn't it be a wrongful death for two lives!"
"An explanation must be given to the deceased, and an explanation must be given to the family of the deceased!"
ββ¦β¦β
The emotions of these students became more and more excited, more and more high-pitched, and they boiled like a pot of boiling hot water.
He Yushen looked around at these angry students outside the court, and was almost forced to a situation where there was no way out.
What should he do?!
He Yushen subconsciously looked at Duanmujun in the center of the public hall again.
In the midst of the restless noise, Duanmu Jun was still calm and relaxed, and did not panic about the noise around her, she stood elegantly, as if there was an invisible barrier separating her from the others around her.
Looking at Duanmuxuan, He Yushen thought of Duanmufei, and thought of Cen Yin and the new emperor behind Duanmufei......
He Yushen held the startling wood tightly, and his eyes gradually precipitated.
At the same time, the people outside the public hall were not idle, and they were talking one by one, but their focus was different from that of these scholars.
"Eldest sister, do you think this Duanmu Fourth Girl is evil and demonic?" A middle-aged woman in green clothes frowned deeply, and pulled an old woman in gray and asked.
The gray-clothed old woman looked worried, looked at the place where Xia Jin had fallen before, and said hesitantly: "I listened to what the maid said just now with a nose and eyes......
"I think nine times out of ten!" Another round-faced young woman with a delicate face came over to talk to them with a strange expression, "Oops! This demon possessed him, deceived the king, and entered the palace to become a queen...... Isn't it, isn't it ......"
"Daji?!"
I don't know who said in a trembling voice.
The story of Daji's calamity to the country, even ordinary people, is familiar.
They gasped in unison, and their expressions became more complicated, like layers of invisible clouds hanging over their hearts, and their hearts were heavy.
The demon concubine is a bad omen, but Su Daji made the Shang Dynasty destroy the country by herself, will they also embark on the old road of the Shang Dynasty?
The people thought restlessly, looking at each other.
"Smack!"
He Yushen in the public hall once again knocked heavily on the shocking wood, and the sound of thunder shook the silence inside and outside the public hall.
Those people and students were silent, and they looked at Jing Zhaoyin in unison, their eyes burning like hundreds of sharp arrows.
He Yushen withstood the pressure and said in a tough tone: "The evidence in this case is insufficient......
He Yushen planned to leave the hall first, but Duanmu Chao would not let He Yushen get his wish so easily.
There is a way that one drum is vigorous, then it declines, and three times it is exhausted.
If He Yushen and Duanmujun are confused today, next time, it will not be so easy to convict Duanmujun of the crime.
"Lord He," Duanmu Chao immediately interrupted He Yushen and said sharply, "The human and material evidence is all there, how can it be called insufficient evidence!" The murderer must be punished severely! β
Duanmu stared at Duanmu a few steps away with gloomy eyes.
At this moment, it is not only the revenge of killing women, but also the new and old hatreds over the years, if it weren't for the Duanmujun sisters, how could their second room be abandoned by the old man, it was the two sisters who separated their father and son.
The students outside the public hall also shouted:
"That's right, the murderer must be punished severely!"
"If the murderer is not punished, it is really intolerable!"
ββ¦β¦β
The students shouted one after another, and the crowd was indignant, like waves of the sea, wave after wave, a posture of unity.
"The court is heavy, no noise!"
He Yushen once again knocked on the shocking wood, with a strong attitude. Now that he has made his decision, he can't look ahead or backward.
"......" Mama Fang's eyebrows were deep, and she was even more anxious.
The current situation is obviously unfavorable to Duanmujun, even if Jing Zhaoyin does not dare to convict Duanmujun casually, but these students criticize Duanmujun's reputation and Duanmufei's reputation, after today's trouble, I am afraid that it will be completely ruined, and I don't know how much gossip it will attract!
As if to verify Mama Fang's worries, the shouts of those students became louder, drowning out He Yushen's voice.
"How can this be true? This Jing Zhao Yin is clearly biased in favor of the murderer! β
"Lang Lang Qiankun, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can the murderer get away with it! We went to a sit-in outside the Imperial City in protest! β
"Let's go, let's go sue the royal court!"
The students only felt that the world was unfair, and they were completely boiling, with a posture of "I will never give up if I don't give an explanation today".
"Duanmu girl......" Mama Fang called in a low voice, wanting to propose to go to the princess's mansion again to move rescue soldiers, but was stopped by Duanmu Jun again.
Duanmujun raised his hand calmly and motioned for her to be silenced.
Mama Fang swallowed back the unspoken words, and she was always a little unsure in her heart: Hey, Duanmu girl doesn't have to be too strong......
In the sword-like gaze, Duanmu Jun was never frightened, angry, or anxious, as if none of the earthly hustle and bustle affected her in the slightest.
She has her own furrow in her heart, and she is more successful.
"You want to sue the Emperor?!" Duanmujun turned around, calmly looked at the students outside the public hall, raised his hand and made a "please" gesture, "The holy driver is now in the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping." "Since my sister is in the princess's mansion, then Mu Yan will definitely go too.
As he spoke, Duanmujun hooked his lips slightly, and a confident and bright smile appeared on his delicate face, like a red rose with thorns.
Her eyes were bright, and her smile was a little fearless, a little wanton, as if to say, even if you go to sue the emperor, what can you do with her!
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
No one expected Duanmu Jun to say this, and the surroundings fell silent for a moment, and there was a dead silence.
The atmosphere is a little quirky.
Those students looked at Duanmujun with subtle expressions, not knowing whether to be angry or praised.
It's too arrogant, it's too arrogant!
Duanmu Chao and Xiao He were so angry that they trembled all over, and their cheeks flushed.
Tsing Yi, who was standing in front of those students, took a step forward and said with his head held high: "If you sue the emperor, you will sue the emperor, I don't believe that the evidence is conclusive, and the emperor can still help the murderer!" β
Duanmu Chao also thought deeply and nodded frequently.
That's right, these scholars are protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, with so many pairs of eyes staring at them, even if Mu Yan is the emperor, it is impossible for him to completely ignore the thoughts of these scholars, Mu Yan has just ascended the throne, and his throne has not yet been secured?! At this time, shielding the murderer, Mu Yan is not afraid that the world's scholars will scold him for being a faint king?!
At this time, the Tsing Yi raised his head and looked back at the other students, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, the contemptible people plan to go to the princess's mansion to sue the emperor, what do you think?!" β
"Brother Li, let's go with you to sue the royal court!"
"Brother Li, count me in!"
ββ¦β¦β
Those students echoed each other's words, and their blood was boiling, and they all decided to go to the royal court together.
Duanmu Chao looked at those students again and again, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your righteous words, I thank you for my poor daughter." β
Xiao He also thanked them and wiped his tears.
Soon, all the students left Jingzhao Mansion and went in the direction of Zhongchen Street, and those people also followed.
He Yushen was once again shocked by the development of the situation, and was completely stunned.
He never guessed that Duanmu Jun would lead these scholars to the princess's mansion to sue the royal court, and he didn't have time to react at all.
In other words, even if he has time to react, it is not easy to stop him. What qualifications does he have to stop these scholars from going to the princess's mansion, he can't learn from Jinyiwei and Dongchang to lock these people up, right?!
Then he is really going to be drowned by the world's scholars with spittle stars!
That's a real problem.
Should I send someone to the princess's mansion to report the news?! He Yushen thought confusedly.
In less than half a cup of tea, the inside and outside of Jingzhao Mansion was empty, and those students and people left, leaving only Duanmu Chao and his wife, Duanmu Jun and Fang Mama still standing in the hall.
"Miss Duanmu." He Yushen, who came back to his senses, looked at Duanmu Jun again and again, and wanted to ask her what she wanted to do.
Duanmu pursed his lips and smiled, his eyebrows were heroic, and he was in his chest, just standing there so elegantly, his whole body exuded a dazzling look, the essence of his spirit, which made people unable to take their eyes off it.
Just looking at her like this, Mama Fang's heart calmed down, and she couldn't help but think of young Anping. This Duanmu girl really has a bit of His Royal Highness's demeanor when he was young!
Outside the courtroom, the noise faded away.
Those people who watched the excitement followed the students not far behind, and their mouths did not stop.
"Let's go to the Princess's Mansion too."
"I heard that there is a peony banquet in the princess's mansion today? There were a lot of nobles who went, and those princesses, princesses, and Mrs. Hou all went. β
"So, isn't that Duanmu Fourth Girl also in the Princess's Mansion now?"
"Then we'll have to go over and have a look. I want to see if this Duanmu Fourth Girl is a human or a demon! β
ββ¦β¦β
As the people went away, their voices gradually became inaudible.
In the crowd watching the excitement, a young man in Tsing Yi quietly withdrew from the crowd with bright eyes.
The little girl in Tsing Yi glanced at the crowd again, and then went in another direction, until he came to the end of the street.
At the end of the street, a small green cabana was parked next to a restaurant, and the curtain on one side of the carriage was raised by a slender hand.
The little guy in Tsing Yi quickly got into the carriage, clasped his fists and saluted the blue-robed young man in the carriage, and explained in detail what had just happened in Jingzhao Mansion, and then said, "Everything is as planned by the child, it is going well." β
"Childe is really clever." The little guy in Tsing Yi complimented with a smile.
Yang Xuyao looked at the direction of the students from the window of the carriage, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he hooked his lips with a confident smile, looking like "everything is under control".
This bureau, he has been laying out for a long, long time.
After patiently waiting for so many years, he waited until today, when everything was ready.
Thinking of the past, Yang Xuyao's eyes flickered and changed.
Five years ago, their Yang family was deposed by Emperor Mu Jianming to take the title of Earl Qingyuan, and he fell from the clouds all of a sudden, leaving him with the exception of barely keeping his errand in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
At that time, Yang Xuyao didn't know anything, and he was glad that he and the second girl of the Duanmu family had a holy decree to marry.
As soon as Duanmu Qi arrived, he couldn't wait to marry someone, and he also wanted to rely on the Duanmu family to support the Yang family.
However, even if the two families got married, Duanmuxian didn't give himself a good face at all, but Yang Xuyao endured it, grovelled to Duanmuxian, and was respectful, who made the situation stronger than others, and who made their Yang family down.
The turning point of everything happened after he married Duanmu Qi.
Three months after getting married, he took leave to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, and took Duanmuqi back to his hometown to worship the ancestral hall and go to the family tree.
Who wants to have one night the ancestral hall suddenly went out of the water.
Yang Xuyao also ran to put out the fire and helped the clansmen move the spiritual seat together, when he accidentally found that one of the tablets was a bit heavy, so he took it to heart, and after privately pried open the base of the tablet, he found a secret letter and a tiger talisman.
After reading the secret letter, Yang Xuyao knew the true identity of the Yang family.
Their Yang family is not surnamed Yang, but surnamed Yi, and is the only descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty.
All the tablets in the ancestral hall are two-tiered, one layer on the surface is disguised with the surname "Yang", and the next layer is the real name of each person's surname "Yi".
His uncle Yang Hui and the ancestors of the Yang family have been lurking in the court for a long time, in order to subvert Dasheng and restore orthodoxy.
At that moment, he understood everything.
Yang Xuyao once couldn't figure out why his uncle and grandfather would secretly hide the edict of the first emperor, at that time, the Yang family was already a very popular minister, and the honor was infinite, so why should he take the risk of destroying the family.
It turned out that for the Yang family, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Yang Xuyao still remembers that the first emperor died in Wutai Mountain at that time, and the only cronies around him were his uncle and grandfather Yang Hui.
Therefore, the uncle and grandfather hid the edict of the first emperor, and secretly threw himself at Mu Jianming, falsely passing on the holy decree, claiming that the first emperor intended to pass the throne to Mu Jianming, just to make Emperor Chongming and Mu Jianming brothers kill each other, and the court will fall apart and oppose each other.
And the Yang family can take advantage of the trend.
However, Yang Hui's life was not good, and he had just taken the first step before he died.
He and his eldest son died in an accident where a rock slipped, and they died suddenly, so at that time, some people thought that Emperor Chongming hated Yang Hui for the sake of the edict, and killed people.
The true identity of the Yang family is a secret related to the life of the family, so in each generation, only the heir chosen by the head of the family will know everything, and in Yang Hui's generation, only Yang Hui's father and son know this secret, and everyone else knows nothing.
Yang Hui's father and son died suddenly, and there was no time to tell others the secrets of the Yang family, and the Yang family also broke off the inheritance.
Grandfather Yang Xi only thought that pie had fallen from the sky, and he got the title of Earl Qingyuan in a daze, and he didn't know the secrets of the Yang family at all, since Mu Jianming ascended the throne, his grandfather knew for more than ten years that blindly pleasing Mu Jianming would make the Yang family fall to the situation of being robbed of the title and trampled on!
After Yang Xuyao read the secret letter hidden in the tablet, he not only knew all the secrets, but also got the wealth hidden by his ancestors, as well as a private soldier who listened to the order of the tiger symbol.
The Yang family has been lurking in the Dasheng Dynasty for more than 100 years, and has accumulated more than the accumulation of gold and silver treasures, but also many things that cannot be bought with money.
For example, drawings and workshops for making firearms.
For example, iron ore and saltpeter ore.
For example, a valley that raises dead soldiers and private soldiers.
For example, an organization that transmits intelligence.
β¦β¦
The Yang family has extremely strict control over the people below, and only the Yang family's lineage with a tiger talisman can order them.
After Yang Xuyao took the tiger talisman, he inherited everything from the Yang family.
On the night when the Yang family's secret was discovered, Yang Xuyao stayed awake all night and sat alone until dawn.
He is faced with two choices, he can inherit the legacy of his ancestors, or he can live a lifetime by currying favor with the Duanmu family, so it is not a problem to be a rich idler, and he can always die in peace.
However, Yang Xuyao was not reconciled.
Because of the fall of the Yang family, the people who used to flatter him and slap him have changed their faces and disdain to interact with him anymore, and some people are pointing at him behind his back, saying that he eats soft rice.
Yang Xuyao has had enough days of looking at people's faces.
A large amount of gold and silver treasures were buried in the ancestral tomb of the Yang family, and Yang Xuyao used this gold and silver to open the way, plus the connections left by Yang Hui, firearms workshops, dead soldiers, and private soldiers.
It took him a few years to control all the power of the Yang family, and he slowly accumulated strength in secret, and took advantage of the turmoil in Jinzhou to take Jinjiazhai and even half of Jinju in his hands.
Originally, he thought that the Xie family should be of some use, but he also gave the Xie family some arms, but as a result, the Xie family was useless at all, and he was served by Cen Yin in three or two clicks, but fortunately he didn't let Cen Yin find out about himself.
At this time, after the students in front turned the corner at the end of the street, they could not see anyone.
Yang Xuyao lowered the curtains, his eyes sharp.
He had endured it for so long, arranged it for so long, and only then did he plan for this opportunity.
He didn't want to live this life in mediocrity, so he decided to give it a go.
He won't let anything go wrong with his plans!
Yang Xuyao squinted, the corners of his lips pursed into a straight line, and asked, "How is it now?" His pupils sparkled with ambition.
"Childe, don't worry, our people have already been arranged, and nothing will go wrong." The little guy in Tsing Yi replied.
Yang Xuyao casually stroked his sleeves and asked again, "How is the situation in the princess's mansion?" β
"Childe, the emperor has gone to the princess's mansion, everything is going according to plan, it is going well." The little guy in Tsing Yi suppressed the agitation in his heart, and said in a calmest tone as much as possible, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl.
"Good." Yang Xuyao nodded, hooked his lips and smiled with satisfaction, his dark eyes were extremely bright in the slightly dim carriage.
"Yingxuan is a smart person, she will definitely live up to my expectations......"
Yang Xuyao leaned on the carriage leisurely, as if he was emotional, and seemed to be talking to himself.
