Chapter 93: Trial (4)
The officials standing on both sides did not move, Lu Hongfu looked around back and forth, but no one listened to his order, "Bold!" Licentious! You're all going to rebel, aren't you? I'm still a county waiter, you dog minions with no beads! ”
"Lu Hongfu, everyone in the next room accuses you of abusing and enslaving them, what is the use of you struggling to refute now?" Ye Linghuang said.
"I don't plead guilty! I have no sin, why should I confess it! You are complicit in them and slander me! I want to sue the emperor to make the decision for me! My ancestor is the founding general Lu Chengzhou, who has made great contributions to the military industry, and the emperor has given him the Holy Emperor, no matter what mistakes the descendants of the Lu family make, they can be spared the crime of death! ”
From Lu Hongfu's words, he could already hear that he was too nervous.
Ye Linghuang replied to him, "This king hasn't even blamed you yet, why are you in a hurry to take out the Holy Emperor to protect yourself?" Or are you weak-hearted and indirectly admit that you embezzled food and enslaved the people!? ”
Lu Hongfu immediately retorted, "I didn't!" I didn't do this, those grains were all bribed by Wang Liangcai, and those slaves were all bought by me with money! These are all false accusations! ”
"Why hasn't Mrs. Lu said a word?" Ye Linghuang suddenly turned his target.
Shao Youwei was suddenly mentioned, woke up from his state of shaking his mind, and immediately replied in a panic at Ling Huang's scrutinizing gaze in the previous night, "I don't know anything!" It's none of my business! ”
"All the people accuse you of abusing them, what is your explanation?" Ye Linghuang asked quickly.
Shao Youwei shook his head desperately and denied, "I didn't!" They are minions, I just saw that they were not good at work, and scolded a few words, and there was no abuse at all! ”
"Then when they entered the mansion, what did you arrange for them to do?" Ye Linghuang continued to question.
Shao Youwei grabbed his sleeves tightly with both hands, and replied in a panic, "Naturally, it is laundry and sweeping the floor, making beds and stacking quilts!" It's all ordinary work, and if you don't do it well, you only reprimand them a few words, and you never whip them! ”
"I haven't even mentioned the word whipping, how did Mrs. Lu know about whipping them?" Ye Linghuang just used her panicked psychology to quickly question her some questions, and when she was in a hurry, she would naturally show her feet!
Shao Youwei's eyes changed, he looked at Lu Hongfu beside him, and replied pretending to be calm, "No, no?" It must be that I heard it, didn't those two little brothers just now keep saying that Wang Liangcai's wife enslaved and whipped them? ”
"Mrs. Lu is really good at blaming others, if I remember correctly, we never mentioned the word whipping!" Xiao Ne immediately retorted, singing and harmonizing with Ye Linghuang, but there was quite a tacit understanding.
"Nonsense! When interrogating Peng's just now, it was clearly mentioned that she whipped Li Dali! Shao You retorted excitedly, this time she remembered it clearly, and she must have mentioned it, so she said it so justifiably.
Lu Hongfu persuaded her to calm down, even so, as long as she didn't admit it, and she had the status of a county candidate and the Holy Emperor to protect them, they couldn't do anything to her.
But Shao Youwei was really excited, Lu Hongfu reminded him on the side that his right ear was eight points in, and his left ear went out for eight points.
"There is an old man whose legs have been broken, crying and shouting for you to accompany him with one leg, how can this be fake!?" Ye Linghuang changed his way to stimulate Shao Youwei.
"Nonsense!" Shao You said without thinking, "I was very careful when I beat them, and this kind of thing has never happened!" ”
