Chapter 89: Am I Eligible?
When the carriage was about to arrive at the mansion, Ye Linghuang caught a glimpse of Yu Feng's eyes had closed, and his body was shaking weakly with the carriage, as if he was sleepy and wanted to sleep.
The wheels of the carriage outside suddenly rolled over a big hole in the ground, and Yu Feng, who was defenseless in the carriage. Directly thrown by the carriage, he lost his balance and threw himself forward...... Fortunately, Ye Linghuang's eyes were quick, and she stretched out her hand to help her steady, but she was frightened by the sudden movement.
"Thank you, Lord Xie came to the rescue in time!" Yu Feng said in horror, if Ling Huang didn't help her, I'm afraid she would have to get out directly.
Ye Linghuang frowned, slightly angry, "Who found this groom...... This is not the first time this has happened! ”
The groom outside immediately replied, "Lord forgive me!" That big pit is really too much to avoid......"
Yu Feng lifted the curtains, looked at the lantern on the side of the road, and turned back to him and said, "This road is full of big potholes, no matter how good the horseman's skills are, he can't hide from it, the prince shouldn't blame the horseman, it's time to play the emperor, and the road is going to be repaired." ”
Ye Linghuang snorted, and he also glanced out, there were indeed big pits everywhere, so he didn't bother with the groom anymore, "Are you tired, can I send you back to rest?" Ye Linghuang asked.
"I'm not tired, I'm not sleepy, I want to watch Lu Hongfu and Wang Liangcai go on trial." Yu Feng said, I've waited for so long, just wait for this time.
When he arrived at the mansion, the lights were bright, and above the public court, Guo An had already begun the trial, so he sent his master to greet King Rui and Princess Rui at the door.
In the hall, Lu Hongfu had already woken up, and was sitting side by side with his wife Shao Youwei, although his face was pale, looking at his sharp eyes, I am afraid that he fainted in Lu Mansion just now, and he was pretending to be out, wanting to slip away, right?
But in the end, he was not sent to the yamen, and he couldn't escape.
Now that they can sit and stand trial, it is already enough to give face.
Wang Liangcai and his wife Peng Shi were all tied up and kneeling in the hall with five flowers, and their mouths were blocked by strips of cloth, although Ding Tai was not bound, he also knelt aside in a proper manner, and Li Dali and Xiao Ne, who were involved in the whole thing, were also waiting outside the hall, waiting for the summons.
In addition, all the slaves rescued from the Lu Mansion and Wang Liangcai's house were all arranged in the side hall and taken care of by the officials.
Guo An sat down on the Taishi chair, slapped the shocking wood suddenly, and sharply questioned everyone kneeling in the hall, "The human and material evidence is complete, the county Hou Lu Hongfu, the talented Wang Liangcai, and the bookkeeper Mr. Ding Tai, the three of you, do you plead guilty?" ”
"What a sin I have! Guo An, if you commit the following crimes, I will kill your whole family! Lu Hongfu yelled.
"Bold!" When Guo An said this, he obviously lacked confidence, "The three of you took over and embezzled 60 stones of wheat, 50 stones of rice, 50 stones of corn, 20 stones of salt, 500 eggs, 80 live chickens, live ducks, and 200 catties of mutton!" ”
"And he took advantage of the reason of the good hall to help the poor, and secretly locked the beggars in his own house, enslaved them, and whipped them! You are the ones who deserve to be killed! ”
Guo An told them the crimes they had committed one by one, Wang Liangcai and his wife were already scared, their heads were lowered, their eyes were evasive, only Lu Hongfu and his wife were still calm.
"Guo An, your official character is under me, what right do you have to interrogate me!" Lu Hongfu could only use this trick in the end.
It just so happened that at this time, Ye Linghuang walked into the hall and said casually, "If this king comes to interrogate the county lord, does he have that qualification?" ”
