Chapter 134: Guilty of Tongue

This time, the He family sued Pei Shufen, Marquis of Ningyuan, to the Criminal Department, and He Ningxin had already figured out how the other party would defend himself. In her opinion, the most direct and effective way is to push and do not know, and say that it is not done. The He family wanted to coerce the three nobles to go to court to testify, if the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion could make these three nobles unable to go to the court by then, or when they went to the court, they temporarily changed their words, and the He family would be defeated.

Therefore, the first thing He Ningxin had to do was to trap the other party in the pit first, so that she didn't know what to do, saying that the He family had sued someone.

The property dispute case of Earl Zhu's family was a famous case concluded by Pei Shufan's sister-in-law Shen's father when he was the secretary of the Criminal Department in the Longqing Dynasty. After this case, there were many fewer people who used rumors to slander others to achieve their goals. However, people die for money, birds die for food, and there are too few worldly talents like Shen Shangshu in terms of criminal names and laws, and most of the officials of the criminal department are indiscriminate, so this kind of thing is still endless, and in view of the fact that everyone wants to save face, most of them are not over.

The He family reopened the case this time, and it is estimated that those who like to spread rumors will stop for a while.

He Ningxin's strategy was to first use a suggestive anti-correlation case in the hall to attract everyone's attention, and after everyone subconsciously accepted this suggestive case, they directly buckled the other party with the crime. As long as the other party has a ghost in his heart, he will be involuntarily led by the nose and take the initiative to "provide evidence" and "not spread rumors".

With this kind of evidence, the convenience method is used to get out of the way, and it is officially transferred from the suspect to the passing party. In order to exonerate the guilt, it is convenient to present evidence to prove that what is said is not a rumor, but the truth. But for this kind of thing, unless the woman is abandoned by the man, otherwise the two have become relatives and worshipped, how can you prove that the couple went out before marriage to "run prostitutely", not to go to the suburbs? It is a false proposition that can be proven.

At that time, Nie Wei originally thought that this strategy might not be successful, but He Ningxin said that if the current criminal department Shangshu was still Shen Shangshu, she would definitely not make this move. But today's Li Shangshu is mediocre, and he is a wall grass that has fallen down when he sees the wind, and it is very easy to jump into the pit, but it is useless.

As a result, of course, as He Ningxin expected, Ning Yuanhou unknowingly said where she heard the rumors in the first place!

Although Jian Lao's source is too unbelievable, but for the moment, as long as Ning Yuan Houfa shirks her ignorance of this matter, it will be easy to do.

He Siping endured his suspicion of Jian Lao, turned around and stretched out his hand to the little guy, and the little guy hurriedly handed over the three pieces of testimony to He Siping.

He Siping took the testimony and said happily to Li Shangshu in the hall, since Marquis Ning Yuan has admitted that this was passed on by her, I still have the testimony of the three nobles who drew their own hands, which can also prove that they heard the rumors from Marquis Ning Yuan, and they were instructed by Marquis Ning Yuan to spread them everywhere. ”

As soon as He Siping's testimony was taken out, even Chu Huajin couldn't sit still. - Aren't they all sent out of the city, will the He family get these?!

Pei Shufen's heart also sank. In order to allow Chu Zhongyu to marry Jian Feiyang, the prince of Zhenguo, Pei Shufen thought about it for a long time before making this plan. It's just that at that time, in order to take out the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion and not let people see that the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion wanted to make a profit, she couldn't find a suitable person to help her spread these words for a while.

Chu Huajin listened to her embarrassment, smiled and pointed out to her the three powerful noble mansions, asked her to find hints from these three families, and promised that they would definitely help the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. Later, when Chu Huajin had a strong love for her in bed, he told her many extremely confidential things about the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion in the pillow jacket, including these three powerful nobles, which turned out to be the secret chess of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion!

Pei Shufen couldn't figure out what went wrong with such a sewing strategy? And the people of the He family can see the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion hiding in the shadows through these three nobles at once? !

Li Shangshu asked people to bring up the testimony, and when he saw the neat words and sentences on it, and the three red finger prints, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said to Ning Yuanhou Daopei, who was standing under the hall, do you have anything to say? Do you want to send Jian Lao to testify? But it is implying that Pei Shufen can get away with it as long as Jian Lao is introduced.

Pei Shufen secretly complained in her heart. The Zhenguo Mansion is a status in the court, and she knows it now. Originally, he did so many things, just to marry the Zhenguo Mansion. But if she pulls Jian Lao in in order to get rid of the crime, it will be a feud with the Zhenguo Mansion. With the strength of the Zhenguo Mansion, if they were angry and threw themselves on the side of the imperial concubine, they would lose more than half of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and the Empress Niangniang in the court. - If this is the result, she, the Marquis of Ning Yuan, will also be able to do it......

There are also those three nobles who are the secret chess of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, and they must not let others gain insight into their relationship with the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion.

In a flash of light, Pei Shufen had already made a decision, planning to sacrifice his reputation to protect Jian Lao and the three nobles.

Thinking of this, Pei Shufen smiled bitterly at Li Shangshu and said that their traps have been set, and the folk women have something to say. It's just that I blamed my bad fate and fell into someone else's plan. ”

Li Shangshu was in a hurry, and hurriedly said Didn't you say just now, you heard it from Jian Lao? ”

Pei Shufen grabbed the curtain with both hands, his face was even more miserable, and he said sadly...... Jane Laoguan...... Elder Jane is kind and righteous, would he say such things? - It's all folk women and ghosts, and they have nothing to do with others! "He Siping turned to look at He Siping again, and cried Lord He Yushi, I asked myself if the well water of the He family does not violate the river water, why do you want to unite the three noble mansions and can't get along with me and my female stream?"

He Siping saw that Pei Shufen actually beat him up again, and sneered and said Ning Yuanhou's ability to spread rumors is really high, and now in the lobby of the Criminal Department, dirty water is splashed, and lies are easy to tell. - What a talent. "What crime should I be guilty of slandering this official against Li Shangshu Dao Ning Yuanhou again?"

Chu Huajin was slightly moved, knowing that Pei Shufen did this to remove the three nobles and not let people doubt their relationship with the Marquis of Ningyuan, so he said that the He family colluded with the nobles and framed her. But He Siping is an imperial history and an official, Pei Shufen said this, although it diverted everyone's attention and aroused everyone's suspicions, but he had to suffer some hardships.

"Lord He, they are all subordinate officials, aren't they. I also ask Lord He to raise his noble hand and let go of the loss of his heart. Chu Hua stood up, shook himself to the ground in front of He Siping, and made a big salute.

He Siping said solemnly in the lobby of the Criminal Department, every word must have a origin, and every sentence must have a source. If it's like Ning Yuanhou, he will bite indiscriminately at every turn, but is there still Wang Fa?! ”

Pei Shufen stubbornly asked, isn't it? "No mistakes**

He Siping said that if you can get the evidence, the old man will resign immediately! - Otherwise, it will be a bloody spittle, and the sin will be added to the first degree! ”

Pei Shufen was startled, the expression on her face changed, but she stopped speaking.

The lobby was so quiet that even the sound of people breathing could be heard clearly.

Li Shangshu waited for a long time, and when he saw that there was no one anymore, he slapped the shocked wood, and said that today Nie Wei sued Ning Yuanhou for spreading rumors and slandering the case, and Ning Yuanhou lost the lawsuit. However, in view of the fact that this incident did not cause major damage, and there were more casualties, this official now sentences Ning Yuanhou to compensate one hundred taels of silver to the Nie family, which is considered ......"

Before Li Shangshu finished speaking, Nie Wei suddenly said loudly that Xiaomin wants to seek justice, not silver! ”

Li Shangshu frowned, and asked unhappily What else are you going to do? "Defamation cases are generally handled only after human life. This time, because both parties are in high positions, the criminal department has to deal with it. Therefore, as far as punishment is concerned, Li Shangshu intends to be light, which will not only save the face of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, but also calm the anger of the He family.

Nie Wei didn't buy it?!

Ningyuan Hou Chuhua asked coldly on the side, if it is too little, add another thousand taels? - Or did you just want to extort money for eight thousand dollars? ”

Nie Wei secretly admired Miss He in his heart, and had expected that Ning Yuanhou would say that they "intended to blackmail", so the silver as compensation should never be asked, and if you ask for silver, there will be more trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, Nie Wei followed He Ningxin's instructions, and replied loudly to Lord Shangshu, this Marquis of Ningyuan spread rumors and slandered the family of the seriously injured ministers, not only committed seven tongues, but also violated the laws of the court, in serious terms, he could let Marquis Ning Yuan divorce his wife and be exiled for three thousand miles! ”

"Bold!" Chu Hua roared.

"Master Hou!" Pei Shufen wept.

The husband and wife looked at each other in the hall, just like a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks who were coerced and had to fly separately.

Nie Wei looked at this scene, secretly amused in his heart, but his words changed sharply, but our Nie family and the He family are both good families. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. The marriage of bad people is a thunderstorm, of course we will not force Ning Yuanhou to divorce his wife, or ask Ning Yuanhou to be exiled for 3,000 miles. ”

"What the hell do you want?" Li Shangshu is impatient, it's really hard to mess with the people! - Diao Min with a background is even more hateful!

Nie Wei saw that the time had come, and every word of the authentic woman committed a tongue, and the punishment should be light, and he should also slap his mouth ten times in front of the public, so as to set an example! ”

Pei Shufen listened to Nie Wei's request, and felt relieved: finally there is no need to be abandoned and exiled. The palm mouth only suffers from the flesh and skin, no matter what, he can endure the anger for a while, he will find a chance, and then give the He family a good look!

Li Shangshu saw that Marquis Ning Yuan and Marquis Ning Yuan both objected, so he said that this is the case, and this official sentenced Marquis Ning Yuan to slap his mouth ten times in public! ”

After listening to Li Shangshu's instructions, the messenger of the criminal department took a long board one foot long and two inches wide and gave it to Li Shangshu.

Pei Shufen thought that he was slapping a few ear scrapers, but now it seems that he is not, but slapping his face with a bamboo board!

When Chu Huajin saw this torture instrument, his face sank, he got up and protected Pei Shufen, and asked calmly, "Do you really want to torture?" ”

He Siping looked at them with his hands behind his back, and asked indifferently whether Ning Yuanhou really wanted to divorce his wife? ”

When Pei Shufen heard this, he hurriedly pushed Chu Huajin aside, and said sadly, Lord Hou can rest assured, the concubine can stand it! "He Siping said sadly to He Siping, you are so arrogant and domineering, you don't take the queen mother in your eyes......"

He Siping is a person who does not pretend in front of the emperor's favorite concubine, and he has endured Pei Shufen for a long time today, and when he saw that she moved the queen out again, he hurriedly interrupted her words, and said very unceremoniously, you count? ! is also worthy of mentioning the queen mother at every turn! - It's just a house-filling steproom, and it should be a lady! Do you think that the queen is as stupid as you, and constantly reminds others that you are not the original match? - I warn you, if you dare to insult my He family and my relatives again, I don't care who you are, and I will directly go to Shuntian Mansion to beat you again! If I have wronged you, I will resign and make amends for you! ”
