Chapter 255: Outbreak of Plague (2)

In the prison of Yingtianfu, Xia Mengning was closing his eyes to recuperate, and a sound of rustling came, the cell door was opened, and a person who looked like a jailer bent down and said: "County Lord, the King of Mojun sent a small one to pass on, please go to the court." ”

Xia Mengning opened her eyes, and there was a clear attitude under her calm eyes, she stood up calmly, with an elegant posture without a trace of panic.

The jailer followed behind Xia Mengning, and couldn't help but admire, if such a woman is worthy of the handsome and unparalleled prince, she is really a match made in heaven.

"Tell the suspect!"

Xia Mengning stepped forward from the steps on the left, stood in the center of the field, and looked at Changsun Mo who was sitting on the high platform in front of him, and his eyes slowly condensed killing intent.

This time, the public trial was set on an empty execution ground in front of Ying Tianfu, surrounded by people who gathered to watch the excitement.

Today, Changsun Mo is the presiding judge, and the jury is Cheng Tianxing and Dong Jiancheng.

The scene and the situation were all unfavorable to Xia Mengning, but Xia Mengning was not flustered, and a moon-white butterfly pattern dress danced in the wind, making people feel daunted.

The eldest grandson Mo sat on the top, looking at Xia Mengning condescendingly, with hatred and reluctance in his heart, he once thought that Xia Mengning was just an ordinary boudoir woman, but with the slow contact, he gradually found that Xia Mengning was not an ordinary woman, she was indifferent and ruthless, but she was like the poppy flower, people couldn't help but be attracted by its fragrance, even though he knew that one step forward would be doomed, but he still insisted on the original choice.

The weather in the morning was originally warm, but there was a strong wind for no reason, Changsun Mo squinted his eyes, looked at Xia Mengning who was standing in the center of the venue, and Dong Jiancheng on the side said: "King of the county, the time has come." ”

Eldest Sun Mo's face was pale, "The trial begins!" ”

He knew what would happen in the next moment, but he had to do it, an interesting woman, and if he could get what he wanted in the future, all the women in the world would be his own.

The eldest grandson Mo said to Xia Mengning: "Today, the king of this county specially tried this case, Xia Mengning, are you guilty?" ”

Xia Mengning stood in place, the cold wind blew her skirt, and her face looked at the eldest grandson Mo, and said with a faint smile: "What is the crime of this county lord?" ”

The eldest grandson Mo didn't speak, and Dong Jiancheng on the side hurriedly said: "Bold, the human and material evidence is there, you still dare to quibble?" ”

Xia Mengning glanced at Dong Jiancheng and didn't make a sound.

Cheng Tianxing echoed on the side: "Lord Dong doesn't know, the person who testified against the county lord just died violently last night. ”

When Dong Jiancheng heard this, he said angrily: "Died violently? Why is this so coincidental? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Mengning and said, "It must have been done by the suspect's accomplices." ”

Xia Mengning smiled faintly, looked at Dong Jiancheng and said, "It's really interesting for Lord Dong to say this, do you want to say that I sent someone to kill this person?" Who can I send, my father or my son? ”

Dong Jiancheng was stunned, Xia Mengning said that he obviously couldn't afford to offend these two people, if there was no complete evidence, he would have to be beaten by them if he didn't get it right.

Thinking of this, Dong Jiancheng hurriedly closed his mouth.

Eldest Sun Mo looked at Xia Mengning and said, "Xia Mengning, the king of this county will give you one last chance, if you confess, the king of this county can intercede for you in front of the emperor and spare your life!" ”

What Changsun Mo said had a deep meaning, Xia Mengning listened, and a smile overflowed at the corner of his mouth, this Changsun Mo was still thinking about the events of that day, could it be that his warning that day was not enough?

Thinking of this, Xia Mengning smiled slightly, and said: "The county lord believes that the Qing is self-purifying, if the county lord can come up with evidence, the county lord is willing to bear all the blame." ”

Eldest Sun Mo sneered, she had already given Xia Mengning several chances, this was the last chance, she still didn't cherish it, so don't blame herself for being ruthless.

At this time, a burst of voices suddenly erupted in the crowd, "Get out of the way, get out of the way......

Eldest Sun Mo frowned, "Who dares to trespass on the law field?" ”

Everyone turned around and saw a group of people coming from the crowd, the first to bear the brunt was the couple just now, Changsun Mo saw it from a distance, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

The man walked in front and said loudly: "I want to see the Lord of Hehe, and let Jiancun Pavilion give us an explanation......"

Some of the insiders around were full of righteous indignation, raising their hands and shouting, Xia Mengning was stunned for a moment, and then his brows furrowed tightly, feeling that something was wrong.

Changsun Mo looked at it and said, "Who is it?" ”

An officer and soldier ran to the front, knelt down on one knee and said: "If you return to the county king's words, it is a group of civilians, saying that they want to see the county lord of Hehe and ask for an explanation." ”

Changsun Mo looked at it and said, "Is there any hidden secret, bring someone up." ”

The officer nodded and went, making way to bring the group in.

The man came to him, looking grief-stricken, "The grass people see the king of the county." ”

Eldest Sun Mo said, "What are you doing here?" Could it be that you don't know that this is the Dharma field, and idlers are not allowed to enter? ”

The man said eagerly: "The grass people have been wronged, Lord Junwang, here's the thing, the grass people's lady ate the medicinal food of the Jiancun Pavilion a few days ago, and now she has died, and the doctor has diagnosed it, saying that she has been infected with the plague, and the grass people have also been infected." ”

Eldest Sun Mo was shocked, "What did you say?" ”

The man's face was flushed, as if he had a fever, and he cried: "My wife and I have only been exposed to the medicinal diet of the Jiancun Pavilion, and now there are many people around us who have been infected with it, and I ask the king of the county to quickly behead this poisonous woman, and give us justice." ”

The eldest grandson Mo didn't make a sound, and Dong Jiancheng on the side hurriedly said: "It's really mad, I actually used such inferior medicinal materials to make medicinal food, and caused so many innocent people to be infected with diseases, so I should be beheaded!" ”

Eldest Sun Mo stood up, walked down, walked to Xia Mengning's side step by step, and said softly: "Xia Mengning, did you think of today's ending?" ”

Xia Mengning raised her head and saw the smugness on Eldest Sun Mo's face, she woke up suddenly, "Did you do it?" ”

Eldest Sun Mo lowered his voice, "This king gives you one last chance, as long as you are willing to go to the emperor and propose to break the marriage contract with the eldest grandson Yun to be the king's side concubine, this king will save your life, and from now on, I will no longer embarrass you." ”

Xia Mengning looked at him and said word by word: "Changsun Mo, I thought you were just a greedy person and a little more insidious, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable and shameless, in order to achieve your own goals, you did not hesitate to lose so many innocent lives, Changsun Mo, you are narrow-minded, and you are by no means a material that can take on a big responsibility." ”

Hearing this, Changsun Mo said with a faint face: "Xia Mengning, don't care who I am, I only ask you once, how do you choose today?" ”

Xia Mengning smiled, "I said yesterday that I won't be with you." ”

Eldest Sun Mo was furious, laughed a few times in a row, and said: "Come on, find a doctor to diagnose and treat these people, if the condition is confirmed, immediately put the suspect and all the people in the Jiancun Pavilion into the prison, and this king will personally report the matter to the emperor, and ask the emperor to decide." ”

After the eldest grandson Mo finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked forward, sat on the chair, and said to the winner beside him: "King of the county, don't miss the opportunity." ”

Eldest Sun Mo knew what the good opportunity was for Jue Yingzi, as early as yesterday, the two had already discussed today's strategy, and now if they take advantage of the chaos to behead Xia Mengning, and come to a prelude, they can truly disintegrate the involvement between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Dingxi Palace, so that they cannot form a faction, so as not to threaten their own forces.

Eldest Sun Mo frowned and sighed slightly, he couldn't say why, but no matter how many decisions he had made and how determined he had made before, when he really faced Xia Mengning's clear eyes, he couldn't be ruthless.

He can't tell what's wrong with him, is this what people call emotion?

Seeing that Changsun Mo was silent and didn't speak, Jue Yingzi was secretly shocked in his heart, could it be that he had discovered something and was thinking about it, so he saw Changsun Mo sigh and said, "Sir, I have my own way." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked out, Jue Yingzi stood in place, looking at the back of Changsun Mo and thinking to himself, and a murderous aura gathered in his eyes.

Dong Jiancheng quickly found several well-known doctors in the capital, and after the joint diagnosis and treatment of several doctors, they all concluded that the disease on this man's body would be contagious, and if he didn't get it right, a major plague would break out.

As a result, everyone was so frightened that they ran away, and the eldest grandson Mo said: "Go to the palace to report to the emperor." ”

At this moment, a sharp voice came, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Everyone hurriedly knelt down, and a bright yellow carriage drove up, and the eldest grandson Han, wearing a dragon robe, walked out of the carriage.

The eldest grandson Mo and Dong Jiancheng were both stunned, and hurriedly walked to the front and knelt down, "I've seen the emperor." ”

Changsun Han nodded, walked up and sat down, and said, "What's the matter?" How's the trial going? ”

Eldest Sun Mo looked around, knelt down and said: "Back to my father's words, the person who testified against the county lord of Hehe suddenly died violently last night, and when he was trying it today, someone suddenly came to report that the medicinal diet of the Jiancun Pavilion contained the root cause of infectious diseases, and if it was not controlled, I am afraid that a plague would occur." ”

Eldest Sun Han was shocked and frowned, "Why is this happening? Someone, pass on the Imperial Doctor! ”

After a while, a doctor came to diagnose and treat, and Changsun Han asked anxiously, "How is it?" ”

The imperial doctor finished checking the man's pulse, and said with a panicked face: "If you go back to the emperor, the old minister will diagnose...... It's a contagious disease......

Eldest Sun Han was furious, and slapped his big hand on the table, "How can this be, what kind of disease can you diagnose?" ”

The imperial doctor nodded again and again, "Back to the emperor's words, according to what the old minister can see, this infectious disease seems to be originated from the cold, and it is infected by the pollen of a flower called Tianchi. ”

Changsun Han was stunned for a moment and said, "Ridiculous, can you find out where the source came from?" ”

After listening to the words of the eldest grandson Han, Dong Jiancheng on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said, "These people who have been found to be infected with diseases have all taken the medicinal diet of the Jiancun Pavilion before...... According to what the minister saw, the emperor should immediately issue an order to thoroughly investigate the medicinal materials of the Jiancun Pavilion. ”

Eldest Sun Han was furious and said: "Come on, give me a thorough investigation of all the medicinal materials in the treasury of the Jiancun Pavilion, before that, all the people in the Jiancun Pavilion will be put into the heavenly prison, and before the matter is clear, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be taken into custody, and you are not allowed to go out, nor are you allowed to visit casually!" ”

Xia Mengning was shocked in her heart, she already knew that everything was done by Changsun Mo, but now all the evidence is unfavorable to herself, once this situation has long been in place, how can Changsun Mo give herself a chance to turn the tables?

Xia Meng was worried, and saw the officer and soldier step forward and said, "County Lord, please." ”
