Chapter 279: The Old Men Gather in the Prison
Lord Bao is bold and bold, in front of so many officials in the public court, he is like a woman in Wanhualou, and he seems to have forgotten the purpose of his promotion today.
Nalan Jin has always felt strange, although Wanhualou is not a good place, but the people are also respected, and this peony seems to wrap itself too tightly.
And Peony's gaze seems to have been avoiding Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi.
From the time she went to the hall to this moment, Peony has never looked at Nalan Jin's direction, but has been frowning at Lord Bao, as if she wants to drain Lord Bao.
"Master Bao, is this case still being heard?" Lord Nalan Jin white-eyed.
"Uh...... Yes, the official still has a case to try, you go back first, the official will definitely not let your aunt die in vain. Master Bao comforted Peony and asked her to step aside for the time being.
Peony nodded, wiped away her tears, and stood aside, but her eyes kept looking at Dongfang Yi, Dongfang Yi turned around, or when Nalan Jin looked at Peony, she subconsciously avoided it.
"Someone came, in view of the conclusive evidence, immediately put Nalan Jin in prison and wait for his fate." Master Bao walked to the hall and made an announcement.
Nalan Jin glanced at Dongfang Yi, and then the two looked at Master Bao in surprise.
"What evidence is conclusive, and can the woodcutter's words be used as evidence? If you put other people's lives on the line, believe it or not? Nalan Jin took out the Hou Jue token and reminded Lord Bao.
"This official ...... Is there any truth in what the woodcutter said? "Lord Bao is also a bit of a rat trap.
Peony looked at the Hou Mansion token in Nalan Jin's hand, knowing the official rank of the Central Plains, and the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him.
"My lord, my aunt can't die in vain, and I don't want to wronged anyone because of my aunt's death, and I believe that my aunt's spirit in heaven doesn't want to do this, and when we find strong evidence, it's not too late to convict." Peony raised her hand to suggest.
Peony glanced at Nalan Jin quietly, feeling that she was full of doubts about herself, staring at her with curious eyes.
Nalan Jin really didn't expect that Peony would intercede for herself, shouldn't the murderer be executed quickly?
This made Nalan Jin more curious about the peony, and had a little more desire to explore in her heart.
Master Bao didn't understand Peony's approach, it was she who took the initiative to ask to go to court, and now she is the one who forgives Nalan Jin.
"Okay, since the bitter masters are so generous, the official will temporarily postpone the trial, and the province will say that the official will cover up." Mr. Bao pushes the boat down the river to maintain his image.
Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi were safe for the time being, and the two of them left the yamen and walked on the street, each frowning, thinking about what happened in the hall today.
"There's no reason for that." Nalan Jin sighed.
"This peony seems a little strange, why have I never heard of a peony in Wanhualou before." Dongfang Yi said with a crooked mouth.
"If you hear about it, it means that you go there a lot, and if you haven't heard of it, you can talk a little bit about it." Nalan Jin turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at Dongfang Yi
。
"Tell you about the Lin family's case, how did you talk about other things, the land of fireworks like Wanhualou, I won't set foot in it at all." Dongfang Yi sighed angrily and accused Nalan Jin.
"I'm talking about the case, it's a bit weird."
Nalan Jin's face was not red or dry, she glanced at Dongfang Yi, turned her head and secretly laughed, but her laughter was still heard by Dongfang Yi, he just shook his head helplessly.
After Mr. Bao left the hall, he wanted to invite Peony to dinner together, and his purpose was obvious. Mu happened to have something to say to Master Bao in private, just to hide people's eyes, so he agreed to push the boat down the river.
"I don't know if this dish still meets Miss Peony's taste?" Mr. Bao took off his official uniform, and the whole person was a little greasy and bloated.
"It's okay." Peony glanced at the people waiting around him, and Lord Bao immediately nodded understandingly.
"You all go down, you don't have to wait here." Master Bao raised his hand and motioned for the maid to go down.
The maid put down the flask in her hand and left.
When there was no one, Mr. Bao wanted to kiss the peony, but suddenly the peony changed from the gentleness just now and became black and vicious.
"This is 100,000 taels, I want Nalan Jin to die!" Peony slapped the silver ticket on the table.
Master Bao suddenly felt that Peony was like a different person, which made him a little scared, and sure enough, the femme fatale, the more beautiful the food, the more smiling.
"This is ......" Lord Bao looked at the peony inexplicably?
"Don't worry, money is not a problem, if you don't think it's enough, you can talk about it again." Peony swept Lord Bao coldly.
"That's not what I mean, what the official doesn't understand is why you only hate men so much?" Mr. Bao had a grudge against the peony, so he kept an extra heart.
"You don't need to know this, you just need to know that the money I gave you is something you can't get in exchange for being an official for a lifetime, and you don't need to ask about the rest." Peony stirred his water sleeves.
Master Bao suddenly felt that Peony was a bit not simple, you were definitely not an ordinary fireworks woman in Wanhualou on the surface. It's just that Nalan Jin doesn't seem to have heard of a feud with anyone for so many years.
If it is said that it is Dongfang Yi's romantic debt, it is even more impossible, no one in the city knows that Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin have a deep love affair.
All kinds of doubts made Mr. Bao wary of peonies.
"This official has been an official for so many years, and he still knows about it. It's just a little bit, there was such a good opportunity to punish the crime just now, why did you let this official let it go, isn't it a lot of trouble? Mr. Bao stared at the silver ticket for a long time, and slowly picked it up and put it away closely.
"Even if you are convicted, the evidence must be conclusive, otherwise your black yarn will not be able to be saved, and even if you have more money at that time, you will not have the life to spend it." Peony touched Lord Bao's neck, and he instantly felt cold.
Master Bao hurriedly arranged a few intimate officials to give Nalan Jin as long as there were not many direct clues, all of which indicated that Nalan Jin killed the Lin family, and they were all direct evidence.
"Come on, put Nalan Jinhou on death row, and ask for beheading after autumn!" According to the direct evidence, Lord Bao ordered Nalan Jin to be sentenced to death.
Nalan Jin was imprisoned by Master Bao and sent to the prison.
Dongfang Yi refused to give up, feeling that all the clues were too direct, obvious, they were simply going towards Nalan Jin, he couldn't watch Nalan Jin being wronged like this.
"Wait! You can't take Jin'er with you. Dongfang Yi kept Nalan Jin and blocked the hands of those people.
"The evidence is conclusive, do you still want to openly confront it?" Bao scolded loudly.
"The evidence you said is conclusive, and I was there at the time, so I can prove that Jin'er didn't kill people at all." Dongfang Yi raised his head and protected Nalan Jin with his broad shoulders.
"Your evidence? According to the law, the confessions of relatives cannot be used as evidence, not to mention that the two of you appeared at the scene of the crime at the same time, and it is not unreasonable to say that the two of you colluded to kill the Lin family. It was the official who was merciful enough to let you go. ”
Master Bao, holding his official uniform, walked in front of Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin, stared at the two of them pacing back and forth, and dismissed Dongfang Yi's remarks in one sentence.
"Someone! Hold on! ”
Master Bao beckoned the officials on both sides and put Nalan Jin in prison, no matter how Dongfang Yi explained and emphasized that there was a problem with the evidence, it did not make Lord Bao change his mind.
Dongfang Yi couldn't bear to be put in prison as a death row prisoner like this, so he ran around looking for clues. I made a secret visit to Linjia Village for many days.
The people in Linjia Village said that they didn't know about other people's affairs at all, and some people were even afraid of setting themselves on fire, so they didn't pay attention to Dongfang Yi's words at all.
Peony heard that Nalan was on death row and came to the county office again.
"Miss Peony suddenly came to the county government today, what advice do you have? Your aunt's case has finally come to light, Nalan Jin is the murderer, and the official has taken her into custody. Master Bao still looked at the peony in a daze, but he didn't dare to approach.
"I'm here for this today, and I don't want to see her get out of prison alive." Peony shot a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, without blinking his eyes, and put it in front of Lord Bao.
There's nothing wrong with the saying that money can make ghosts grind.
Master Bao looked at the thick stack of silver tickets, and in his eyes it was white silver. Naturally, the cooked duck will not be allowed to fly away again.
"The conditions on death row are so bad, it's normal for prisoners to die every day." Master Bao put away the silver ticket, "It's just...... What this official doesn't understand is, what is the deep hatred between you and Nalan Jin? She had to be put to death. ”
"You just take your money, be careful to know more, you don't spend it. Let your people lead the way, I'm going to see her! ”
Peony's gentle warning made Master Bao afraid, so he had to ask the official to take her to death row.
On death row, the smell was abnormal, there were the wails of death row prisoners everywhere, as well as angry scolding, and some people who broke jars and broke their jars saw Peony come in and flirted with them.
As a result, Peony gave a look and all retreated.
"The conditions here are a little worse than those in Nalan Mansion, but they are finally sheltered from the wind and rain." Peony said, looking around the death row.
"How did you get here?" Nalan Jin looked at Peony suspiciously.
"You are the murderer of my aunt, of course I am here to take revenge." Peony said as he picked up the whip next to him and whipped Nalan Jin hard.
"You ......"
Before Nalan Jin's words could be spoken, I saw another whip from Peony's backhand, which hit Nalan Jin's face directly, and there was an instant red cut on her fair skin, and blood flowed down.
"Isn't your face quite attractive? I don't think I like it yet! Peony pinched Nalan Jin's chin and threw it out hard.
The moment Nalan Jin shook her head and saw the wound on Peony's wrist, she would never forget the days on Qingfeng Village.
Same scar!
Willow like smoke! It's really Liu Ruyan!
Nalan Jin stared at the ground in confusion and shock, her brain was buzzing, she really couldn't understand how Liu Ruyan could run to the Central Plains, and the affairs of the Lin family made her even more confused.
