Chapter 1219 Is There No Basis for Empty Words
Shuangshuang didn't know who Bai Heran was, but when he saw that Master Meng always looked at Bai Heran intentionally or unintentionally when he spoke, to ask for her opinion, he knew that this girl should be able to be the master of the Meng family.
But when she heard that Bai Heran filed a complaint, she was worried again: "Can you really sue?" It was the monarch who killed the people, which yamen would dare to take such a case? Also, I only saw it with my own eyes, and I didn't have any evidence, would anyone believe it? She looked at Bai Heran, "This girl, is there any other way to take revenge besides suing?" ”
Bai Heran nodded, "Yes, you can also go to assassinate the monarch and enter the palace to assassinate." ”
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then shook their heads, "That's even more difficult, don't say that the Li family can't do it, and the Meng family can't do it either." ”
"Therefore, there is only one way to go." She stretched out her hand and patted both of them, "Don't worry, someone will take our case, in fact, we have already arranged this matter for the complaint, and the Lord of Fengxiang City will take this case." ”
Shuangshuang followed them out of the carriage with deep doubts, and when they looked up, it was the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Master Meng asked Bai Heran: "How can we sue the law?" Do you want to go straight in? In addition, once the lawsuit is filed, as witnesses, her safety must be protected, and the monarch will do everything possible to kill people. ”
Bai Heran nodded, "Father, don't worry, just give her to me and let her follow me as a maid first." ”
As soon as she heard Bai Heran call her father, she was even more confused, she had followed Meng Shuhe since she was a child, of course she knew that the Meng family had only one daughter, but why did she suddenly have another one? Still a stranger I've never met.
Bai Heran didn't want to explain more, and when she saw that she was puzzled, she only said, "It's a righteous girl." Then he pulled her by the hand, pointed to the big drum in front of the city lord's mansion and said, "See?" It is the drum of grievances that ordinary people have to beat when they complain, and as long as you sound it, the lord of the city must ascend to the court. Listen to me, don't worry, go to the drum, hit hard, hit loudly, and faster, so as to attract more people to pay attention to this side of the matter. We are plaintiffs, and there is nothing to be afraid of, just to let more people know that we are coming to sue, and to let more people know what kind of complaint we are suing, so as to deter the defendant. ”
She patted her hands again, "Believe me, the more people know about this matter, the bigger the disturbance, and the more secure your life safety can be." Go, go and beat the drums now, and we're going to sue His Majesty. ”
Both glanced at Master Meng, and saw that Master Meng also nodded at her, so he gritted his teeth, walked to the drum of grievances, picked up the drum hammer, and used all his strength to knock the drum up.
Sure enough, many people were attracted by the sound of drums, and soon gathered around. Some officials immediately came forward to inquire, and some people asked her to stop immediately, and the city lord was already preparing to ascend to the hall.
But they didn't stop, she just said while beating the drum: "When this hall is raised, my drum will stop when it is, His Majesty the monarch tortured and killed my young lady, I must sue for this situation, please ask the city lord to call the shots and avenge my young lady!" ”
As soon as I heard that it was to sue His Majesty, not to mention the onlookers, even the officials at the door were stunned. Someone couldn't help but ask, "You're not sick, are you?" Where did the madmen come from to run around here? Stop! "As you speak, you have to do it.
But this hand has just reached in front of Shuangshuang, and suddenly I feel a numbness in my wrist, and then I look at it, there is a silver needle pierced into the wrist, I don't know what acupoint it pierced, and it doesn't bleed, but it hurts and numbs, and half of my arm is unconscious.
He turned his head to look in surprise, and at a glance he saw Master Meng and Bai Heran standing at the bottom of the steps, and at that time he remembered what the city lord had ordered him to come down this morning. The lord of the city said: If the Meng family comes to complain, immediately notify the lord of the city to ascend to the church, no matter what kind of complaint they are suing, no matter who they are accusing, don't be surprised, just bring it in.
He remembered the words of the city lord, but he didn't expect that the Meng family was actually going to sue the monarch, and he dared to beat the drum at the door to attract so many onlookers. This official felt that he was in chaos, he felt that this world was too crazy, and the high-ranking monarch could now be sued by someone to the yamen? also abused and killed the young lady, tortured and killed...... Thinking of this, he suddenly stirred, and then cast his gaze towards Master Meng, and his eyes widened.
That young lady is the daughter of the Meng family! The eldest lady of the Meng family was beheaded a month ago and threw her head back at the gate of the Meng Mansion, and this matter was known to the whole city. But the murderer of Miss Meng is also unknown to the whole city. This has almost become an unsolved case, and even the city lord said that this case cannot be solved and there is no solution. But I didn't expect the Meng family to make such a fuss today, and it seems that the city lord also knows about it and is willing to cooperate. This is the greatest provocation to the majesty of the king, right? Is it going to change again?
Not only did he have such thoughts, but also the people who were watching, everyone thought that the girl who played the drum was crazy, and the Meng family was also crazy. Even if the daughter was killed by the monarch, he can't really come to sue him, the city lord will only take this case if his brain is broken.
But what they didn't expect was that soon there was news of the promotion, and the promotion was still a public court that could be seen by people.
It is to put a fence at the entrance of the public court, so that the complainant and the person who hears the complaint are inside, and the people can listen to the trial process outside.
People are too curious, strange stories through the ages, there are people who dare to sue the monarch, and there are also city lords who dare to try the monarch's case. Some people recognized Meng Wenchenglai, and talked about the identity of the Meng family, as well as the fact that Miss Meng was beheaded.
There were three people who came to the hall, Meng Wencheng, Bai Heran, and Shuangshuang. Because it is a double-double drum, the pleadings are naturally done by Shuangshuang. But I heard Miao Fusang, the city lord above, slap the startled wood and asked loudly: "Who is down there, what is the matter?" ”
Shuangshuang knocked his head to the ground and said loudly: "The folk girl is the maid of the Li family in Xianyu City, and the Li family has in-laws with the Meng family in Fengxiang City, so the thing that the folk girl wants to sue is that my young lady Meng Shuhe was tortured to death and beheaded." In the process, the folk girl saw with her own eyes, every detail has not been left behind, if the adult is willing to listen, the folk girl must talk about it in detail! ”
Miao Fusang barely slept all night yesterday, and when his daughter came home, he was happy, although he was crazy, but at least he came back.
Second, he took over the case of the Meng family at the palace banquet, and it was too difficult for him to think about it. Not to mention whether the Meng family can come up with human and material evidence, even if they take out everything, he will conclude that it was the monarch who did the right thing. But so what? Can you still punish the monarch? Can you still ask the monarch to be killed?
In Meng Shuhe's case, the murderer is a capital crime, but he can't kill the king of a country no matter what, so won't the world be in chaos?
So he prayed in his heart that the Meng family had better not have any physical evidence, so as not to make things too embarrassing and there was no turning back.
Unexpectedly, the Meng family gave him a surprise today - the person who watched the whole process testified.
He sighed, nodded, and listened carefully to Shuangshuang's account of Meng Shuhe's killing. From the master and servant returning to Beijing from Xianyu City, to their resting next to the mountains, forests and streams, and then to meeting the monarch and a group of people led by the monarch, including Meng Shuhe who was caught in the back, she was also tied to a tree. The whole process, every detail is clearly explained, even the last she ran into the tiger hole, what the tiger looked like, how it died, all made it clear.
There are also the words that the monarch said when he abused Meng Shuhe, and the name of Chun Yulan mentioned, she told it all, including the appearance of the monarch and the clothes he was wearing at that time, she remembered it clearly. It was the murderer of her young lady, and she knew everything she knew when she turned to ashes.
Shuangshuang was hoarse when he said these things, but he also desperately tried to keep himself from crying too much, because if he cried too much, he couldn't speak clearly. But in the end, I couldn't help it, and I cried out.
Miao Fusang was stunned, especially when Shuangshuang said the name Chun Yulan, he suddenly realized.
It turned out that the monarch killed Meng Shuhe because of this, because he had been holding a grudge against the former prince and his sister for so many years, and all the people and things that had been related to these two people were evidence and nightmares that he could not avoid. But he couldn't kill so many people, so when he remembered it again, or when he had the opportunity again, he secretly attacked and got rid of one after another.
Meng Shuhe died for her father, this is the truth.
Miao Fusang finally understood the cause and effect, but in the face of Shuangshuang's accusations, he felt that there was no factual basis. After all, anyone can say empty vernacular, but what if it's made up? It's too difficult to make up a story to pull the monarch into the water.
He shook his head while listening, and instead of asking Shuangshuang, he said to Meng Wen: "Lord Meng, there is no basis for empty words, so it is difficult for the government to conclude this case." Do you think your family can come up with other evidence besides this maid's dictation? ”
Meng Wencheng frowned and looked at Bai Heran, their family had evidence, and the gold thread that was picked out from the book and fingernails was the best evidence. It is something that can only be worn by kings, and even the eunuchs and palace maids who are close to each other on weekdays cannot pick out the gold thread and hold it in their hands. If the king's clothes are damaged, they will be registered, and there will be a record of how many gold threads have been damaged.
But now he couldn't make up his mind whether to take out the gold thread or not, so he asked Bai Hezhan to dye.
Bai Heran shook his head at him slightly, the golden silk can't be taken out now, her golden silk has to be kept for Meng Shuyu to cry out for injustice! Shuangshuang sued Shuangshuang, Meng Shuyu sued Meng Shuyu, and the golden silk was to be kept by Meng Shuyu as evidence, as for the current Shuangshuang......
"It's not necessarily that there is no evidence." She suddenly opened her mouth and looked at Miao Fusang, "The city lord feels that the empty words are unsubstantiated and undocumented, so what if we explain the process in more detail?" For example......" she paused, and then turned to Shuangshuang, "can you describe the appearance of His Majesty in detail, not only the appearance, but also any details you can see on the body......
