Chapter 119: Beat to Death with a Stick
"Li Cairen is so strong, and he has nothing to say." Hua Qingrao turned her head to the other side and stopped looking at her.
Zhao Xuan stared at Fang Ruo for a while before he spoke: "Fang Ruo, what evidence do you have to prove that Yingmei instructed you?" β
Fang Ruo had already thought about this question, so she didn't show a trace of panic on her face, and replied fluently: "Niang Niang just verbally ordered the slave maid, so there is no evidence. But what the slave said was true, and she didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, so please be clear. β
Hui Jieyu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said in a clear voice: "Everyone, the concubine has been watching for a long time. These words were all said by Fang Ruo alone, and the jade bracelet was found in her room, which inevitably made people feel a little exculpation. β
She paused, "If this charge is imposed on Yingmeiren, it will really be wronged." β
Li Cairen's hanging hand secretly clenched up, and he was about to condemn Yingmeiren, but he killed another Hui Jieyu halfway. "Niangniang is an outsider, you can't just look at it and make assertions!"
"The so-called authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. And the standard is just saying some of his own opinions, and everyone has not yet made up their minds, so what are the talented people anxious about? Hui Jieyu said coldly.
Li Cairen pursed his lips and knelt there with a disdainful expression and said no more. She knew very well in her heart that although she only had Fang Ruo's words now, the dirty water had been splashed on Yingmeiren's body. Since Fang Ruo can't find evidence to prove that Ying Mei ordered it, then Ying Mei naturally can't find evidence to prove that she didn't order.
She just needs to shut up and wait now, and Yingmei will fall down in everyone's hearts.
Snow Kite looked around and saw that things had reached an impasse, and everyone had said what they had to say. Only then did she slowly walk out, knelt down and saluted, "Everyone, there is one thing that the slave maid does not know whether to say or not. β
When Li Cairen saw the snow kite come out, he sighed in his heart. At the moment when the white jade bracelet was not found in Yingmeiren's bedroom, she felt that Snow Kite had betrayed her, but fortunately, Fang Ruo temporarily turned around, and this play could be sung.
"Since I don't know whether to say it or not, it's better to swallow it back. Otherwise, when the time comes, you will collide with everyone, what kind of crime should you be guilty of! She hurriedly spoke.
The corners of Hua Qingrao's mouth hooked slightly, and she still turned her face sideways to do her aggrieved appearance.
Snow Kite straightened up and knelt on the spot, neither humble nor arrogant: "What Niangniang taught. The slave and maid thought clearly, even if they would collide with everyone, the slave and maid would not dare to hide anything from everyone. β
She leaned her entire upper body on the ground and said respectfully: "Everyone, the slave maid once lost a pair of earrings given by her mother before entering the palace, and later found the same earrings in Fang Ruo's room, the slave maid only thought it was a pair of identical earrings at the time, but later more and more palace people in the palace lost their objects. β
Today, the white jade bracelet was found in Fang Ruo's room, and the slave was suspicious and dared to show it to everyone. If there is a collision with everyone, please punish you. β
"If what you say is true, then I will not only not punish you, but I will reward you!" Zhao Xuan said.
A palace man in the hall who had a good relationship with Snow Kite on weekdays hesitated for a moment, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "What Snow Kite said is true, the slave maid has indeed lost things. β
As soon as these words came out, one after another palace people knelt down and said, "The slave maid has also been lost. β
Zhao Xuan's eyes turned to Fang Ruo, whose face was gradually pale, and said in a cold voice, "Okay!" Word.
Hua Qingrao turned her head and glanced at the palace people kneeling in the hall, basically everyone who was waiting in the hall knelt down.
Before, when she listened to Snow Kite tell about Li Cairen's plan, she suddenly had a plan. Use the plan of the talented people to make her regain her favor, and by the way, kick Fang Ruo's eyeliner out in a bright light.
So she asked Xue Kite to put the bracelet that was originally going to be placed in her place into Fang Ruo's room, and then asked Si Luo to put the objects stolen from the other palace people in Fang Ruo's room. Due to the urgency of time, only a few palace people were stolen, so the vast majority of people in the palace did not have anything missing.
"Ding Zhen!" Zhao Xuan called sharply.
Ding Zhen heard Zhao Xuan call his name, and hurriedly stepped forward: "The little one is here." β
"Did you find anything else in Fang Ruo's room?"
Zhao Xuan's cold voice made Fang Ruo's body tremble, and she raised her head to see the cold light in the emperor's eyes, which made her heart fall to the bottom in an instant.
Ding Zhen raised his head to meet Hua Qingrao's shining star eyes, and when he searched, he did find a bag of pendant jewelry in Fangruo, and there were some scattered silver taels.
He wanted to hide this, so he didn't report it to Zhao Xuan. But because there were many palace people from Changle Hall watching during the search at that time, and Zhao Xuan's questioning at this time, he had to say it.
He lowered his eyes, "Back to everyone, the little one did find a bag of pendant jewelry and some scattered silver during the search. β
He lifted his robe, knelt on the ground and said, "At that time, the little one only thought that it was given to Fang Ruo by Yingmei, so he didn't care about it. A small negligence almost made Yingmei suffer, and I ask everyone to punish her. β
A disdainful smile appeared in Hua Qingrao's eyes, thinking it was a reward? I'm afraid he deliberately didn't want to report it. Come to think of it, she didn't have anything to do with this Ding Zhen after she entered the palace, why did he have to deal with himself?
Zhao Xuan glanced at him and said coldly: "Go down and get the punishment yourself!" β
"Yes, little one." Ding Zhen hung his head and said.
The chamberlain obeyed Zhao Xuan's instructions and took the baggage jewelry in Fang Ruo's room. As soon as the chamberlain opened the baggage, everyone gasped.
I don't know who exclaimed: "That's not the cloisonnΓ© red coral earrings that everyone gave to the mother!" β
The anger in Zhao Xuan's eyes became more and more vigorous, he grabbed the burden and threw it at Fang Ruo, "You are so bold!" The master's things dare to touch! β
Fang Ruo's whole person was smashed stupidly, and she looked at the jewelry and silver scattered in front of her with a dull gaze. Why is this happening? How could such things be found in her room?
She didn't care about any image and etiquette, and threw herself on the ground and cried: "Everyone! The slave didn't do it! Everyone! β
Zhao Xuan didn't even bother to look at it again, and said coldly: "If Fang commits the crime of stealing, he will be beaten to death in public to set an example!" β
As soon as Fang Ruo heard this, it was like five thunderbolts, and her tense nerves couldn't hold it anymore, and she looked up and fainted.
Li Cairen showed a shocked expression on his face, a palace maid committed the crime of stealing, at most, she was demoted to the last palace maid, and sent the Huanyi Bureau. This is beaten to death in public, and I am afraid that no one of the big beams has ever had. What kind of ecstasy soup did this Ying Meiren give everyone to let him defend her like this.
"Everyone, I'm afraid this is..."
Without waiting for her to finish, Zhao Xuan swept over with an eagle eye and sneered: "What? You don't think it's enough to punish the person who stole your bracelet, does it? β
Li Cairen was so frightened by his eyes that his body trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "That's not what the concubine meant. β
"That's not what it means!" Zhao Xuan sneered, "Li Cai violated the palace rules, and if he commits the following crimes, he will be fined half a year, and he will think about it behind closed doors in the palace for a month." β
One month?! Li Cairen raised his head in disbelief and met Shang Hua Qingrao's eyes with a smile on her face. In my mind, I instantly recalled the words she said in my ear: "Sister, you have to keep your eyes open and see how your sister let you taste it." β
She got goosebumps, it turned out that all this was made by Ying Mei for her, just waiting for her to drill into it!
