Chapter 330: No Progress
When Du Fang'e heard this, she quickly wiped away her tears, stopped crying, and pretended to be innocent and said, "My lord! The woman was just overly angry, and I ask your lord to forgive me for my ignorance. It's just that this kid really bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people, which makes me angry. ”
"Huh? The prince didn't ask you, you are not allowed to roar in court! "Shi Lei is also loud, looks very strong, and makes people feel scared when he speaks.
Ming Haojie saw that there was a lot of silence in the hall,Then he began to ask:"Wan Fuan, what industries do you operate in this 10,000 small towns?" ”
As soon as Wan Fuan heard the adults interrogating him, he quickly raised his head and replied: "Go back to the adults!" The shops run by the grass people include rice shops, cloth villages, restaurants, and inns, and what aspects are involved? ”
"And it's still an imperial merchant, isn't it?" Ming Haojie then asked。
Wan Fuan looked up at the prince above suspiciously, and replied: "Yes!" and the military masters of the official family to make some winter cotton clothes. ”
Ming Haojie knocked on the startling wood with a "snap",Shouted:"Are you embarrassed to say,How did you make cotton clothes and pants for the military masters? ”
Wan Fu'an had never seen such a battle, so his legs were weak in fright, and he stumbled and said, "My lord...... My lord! Although Caomin is said to be the imperial merchant of Wanjia Town, but the things inside and outside here are all decided by my insiders, I am just a decoration, to put it bluntly, the person in charge is not me, it is her! ”
Everyone heard his words below, followed his fingers and looked at each other, and they didn't have to guess that he was referring to Du Fang'e. Sure enough, the people pointed out that he was a wretched person who was afraid of his wife.
Du Fang'e saw that she was pointing at herself, and she looked very angry, and hummed in her mouth: "All this was given to me by my mother's family, what is his old family, he didn't start from us, what can I do if I speak?" ”
"Be quiet! So that means that you can take full responsibility for everything in this 10,000 business? ”
"Of course?" Du Fang'e also looked very bullish and puffed up her chest.
"Then let me ask you, is the military uniform urgently produced in the northwest in winter rushed by your military factory in Wanjia Town?"
Lin Ting hurriedly grabbed the words and said, "Back to my lord? There are countless military uniforms supplied from all over the country, and they are not necessarily made by our Wanjia Town. ”
Ming Haojie's face sank,Shi Lei scolded:"Who are you from the court,Dare to ignore adults,Rush to reply。 ”
Du Fang'e saw it and hurriedly explained: "My lord! He's our housekeeper Lin Ting! ”
"Lin Ting! Do you think of the court as your own family? If you want to speak, you can speak, I am asking Du Fang'e, can you represent her opinion? ”
Lin Ting heard this and realized that Ming Haojie was angry,Hurriedly waved his hand and said:"It's the grass people who are wrong!" Grass people shouldn't be talkative! Excuse me, sir? ”
Ming Haojie praised in his heart when he saw it,It's still the ninth sister-in-law who is powerful,Among the three people, only this team of men and women is not easy to deal with,Now I really responded to that sentence。
Continue to ask: "This king also remembers that your Wanjia Town has been rewarded by your father for the fast speed and quality of cotton clothes, can you do this?" ”
"Of course! That batch of things was made by workers day and night, without pay, and the absolute quality passed the test, and it was also verbally rewarded by today's Long Live Lord. ”
"That means you admit that the military cotton uniforms were produced by your family?"
"Of course? That's the result of our hard work day and night. ”
Lin Ting next to her dragged her vigorously and didn't let her speak.
When Du Fang'e talked about Xingtou, there were still hints of him.
Ming Haojie saw it"Bang" and there was a shocking sound,Said:"Bold women! You finally admit it, what you said is like a river, don't you feel sorry for the soldiers who froze to death unjustly? They are all young children, who went into battle to kill the enemy with the determination to defend their families and the country, but they did not die honorably on the battlefield, but they were frozen to death by the military cotton clothes made by black-hearted imperial merchants like you. ”
At this point, Du Fang'e was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and collapsed to the ground, and the people in the hall were extremely heartbroken when they heard it, because their children and men should be soldiers, so they felt as if the men and children of their own family were also suffering, and they said one after another: "Bring this black-hearted businessman to justice, people like them are extremely evil, and murder pays for their lives......."
Shi Lei shouted, "The people in the hall are quiet.
It really worked, and his shout really calmed the people at the entrance of the hall, and everyone wanted to know what evil things were unknown to their families.
Ming Haojie said again at this time:"This is one of the culpables,There is also this prosperous rice shop,Raise the price of rice for no reason,Disrupt the rice market,Causing the poor people to have no money to buy rice,Starve to death on the streets。
"They have no money to buy rice and starve to death and blame us, because they are poor, and the poor have no money to buy rice, so they can only wait for death, do you want me to give them alms?"
"If you don't raise the price of rice, will you make them so depressed? You also suppress your peers, forcibly buy other people's grain at a low price, you sell at a high price, sell it and mix sand into the rice, you say that these are not done by you. ”
These are the evidence that you forcibly bought and sold, and after saying that, you threw a bunch of evidence in front of the three of them.
Ming Haojie continued:"Your business also includes selling illicit salt、Trafficking in people、Forcing good people to become prostitutes。 You say that these are not enough to cure your sins.
Du Fang'e and Lin Ting looked at each other dumbfounded, at this time they no longer had the same spirit as when they just came to the lobby.
Ming Haojie continued:"Whatever you take out, you are all capital crimes,Today, the prince wants to try more than that,Tell me how Wan Xiaohua's mother died。 ”
Du Fang'e suddenly came to her senses when she heard this, thinking that since she came for her mother's case, then she was a dead duck and didn't say anything, and they couldn't solve this case.
So he said: "Her mother is innocent, if she hadn't stolen chickens and dogs and smeared our families, would she be able to disembowel her stomach in front of the parties?" Who made her so stubborn and deserved! ”
Speaking of Li Xiaoyan who deserved to die, Xiaohua, who had been kneeling beside her, suddenly became excited and shouted: "It was you who wronged me, and my mother suffered for me, are you not human?" ”
"Huh? Little Bunny! You eat things inside and outside, we provide you with food and clothing, but in the end it falls to the point of a court against Bo, you really lose your conscience, and you don't even care about your own father. ”
The people below didn't know the situation of their mother and daughter, but the children sued their parents, which was unfilial at that time, and the uninformed people accused Xiaohua of being ungrateful.
Wan Xiaohua had no way to refute it, so she had to cry silently in the hall. Du Fang'e saw that most people were facing her, and her chest stood up again.
The people had forgotten their crimes, and now they began to sympathize with her.
"Wan Fuan! Who is the girl in the hall? Ming Haojie said angrily.
Wan Fuan's current mood is to disembowel her like a heart, to see if her heart is black, today's things are all provoked by this little broom, and I can't wait for her to disappear immediately, but this is in the court, it seems that this ten princes are also prepared, looking at the evidence scattered on the ground, he had to reply: "My lord!" Kneeling on the ground was the grass people's daughter, Xiaohua. ”
"Then tell me! Why did she sue you? ”
"This child lies a lot of lies all day long, and often learns from her mother, stealing chickens and touching dogs is not doing her job, and I will give up disciplining her after repeated teachings, so that now I have become such an unfilial child."
"Learn from her mother? Stealing chickens and dogs? Ming Haojie asked suspiciously.
Du Fang'e continued: "His mother doesn't care about stealing chickens and dogs, but also stealing people, if it weren't for the old man who wanted to make a big deal small, his mother would have been sunk in the pond a few years ago." ”
"You're talking nonsense that my sister isn't like that." Before the words fell, a man and a woman helped each other to the lobby, and after squeezing through the crowd, the two were stopped by the officials of the county government. The two of them shouted anxiously: "My lord! My sister Li Xiaoyan is wronged! ”
Ming Haojie raised his eyes and looked,There was a voice shouting grievances in the distance,Both of them are dressed in coarse cloth clothes,Honest and honest look,It looks very down,Then he waved his hand,Let the servants let them go。
The two of them staggered to the bottom of the hall, and both knelt down and said, "Lord Qingtian! We are Li Xiaoyan's brother and sister-in-law, he was framed by the mother-in-law of the Wan family, my sister has been docile since she was a child, and she doesn't argue with others when she does things, and she has been abused since she married into the Wan family. A few days ago, he was framed and ...... was disemboweled and killed, my sister is so wronged! ”
After finishing speaking, she kept kneeling and kowtowing, Du Fang'e saw the two of them making trouble again, and accused: "You don't have a long memory, do you?" Don't play a bitter trick, adults don't eat your set, your sister is misbehaving, if she is wronged, why don't you refute it and don't shout injustice, or she did something bad and wants to stay in Wanjia to forgive her sins. ”
"You talk nonsense! My sister has always been careful and kind, and she greets outsiders with a smile and treats people sincerely, how can she be the one you say is stealing? ”
"Oops! The two of them also went into battle to deal with a weak woman of mine, Lord Qingtian, you have to take care of this couple, they may be the accomplices of that slut outside the mansion. ”
"You're spewing blood? My uncle, they are not the people you say, they redress my mother's grievances, and you discussed with him to give them some color, although I don't know what you are talking about? But I later learned that my uncle was beaten by the county lord and couldn't get out of bed. She said as she pointed to Lin Ting, who was kneeling beside her.
Most of the people in the hall believed Xiaohua's accusations, because they all knew that the real people who could call the shots were Du Fang'e and Lin Ting.
Du Fang'e seemed to be sure that they had no evidence, but they were just empty words, and what they said was in vain, so she became bold and said: "My lord! In any case, they are all framed, there is no evidence, and when the evidence is put in black and white in front of me, I admit it, and I am not convinced by this empty accusation. ”
Ming Haojie listened,Look at a few people in the hall,Hesitated,Say:"This...... This matter has been a long time ago, not to mention that the parties are not there, and there is no way to investigate, so let's talk about disembowelment! Can a neighbor's family prove it? ”
