Chapter 259: Not Guilty

Fang Jinrui stood up and smiled at the scholar who was standing with his hands down, his voice full of patience.

"Shen Xiu is so young. It can be said that the future is limitless, and it is not only the official and the four deputy judges who are being questioned in the hall today, but the saint is also in the hall, if you refuse to tell the truth, wouldn't you be a bully?

"Today's case is public, there are still so many people watching outside the lobby, if Shen Xiushu makes a false testimony and overturns it later, do you still have the face to see the people again?

"You have to think about your family, your parents and your relatives and friends. With your family, it is not easy to support a scholar, and you are still young, and the future is still very long. ”

Fang Jinrui is kind and persuasive, which can be said to be the most patient words today.

Shen Mo lowered his head, as if he was fighting between heaven and man.

After a while, Shen Mo suddenly abandoned the spirit of a scholar, knelt down with his clothes upright, his voice was no longer excited, and he said ashamedly: "My lord, the student knows his mistake, and the student just gave a false testimony. ”

The people in the hall were in an uproar.

The words were spread outside the lobby by Soap Li, and the people were also in an uproar.

At this point, the case seems to be able to see the light of day.

"My lord, the student is sorry for the reputation of the reader, the student was bought."

Zhu Youning raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Mo, always feeling that it was impossible for Shen Mo to reform himself so easily, maybe there was some bigger conspiracy in this.

The rest of the ministers who were watching also looked at each other in confusion.

The emperor in the back of the screen did not move at all.

"Who bought you?" Fang Jinrui asked.

Shen Mo lowered his head, like a frosted eggplant, "Go back to your lord." In fact, the student's background is similar to that of Miss Zhu. The student was born in the side branch of the merchant's family, and when the family had silver, he established a clan study, and the student went to study in the clan study, and later it was because the family saw the student's talent that they focused on cultivating. ”

What the?

Everyone looked surprised, and the conservative scholars who were listening in the hall were all stunned.

Shen Mo has been tepid since he did the revision of the Hanlin Academy, and he has been in this position for many years.

They are officials in the same dynasty, and although they have no intersection, they don't think Shen Mo hates it.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a businessman who came out to enter the court as an official!

"It's not a great secret that the student is a businessman. Xu is an adult who didn't think of me, but the information on the registration and household registration of the officials cannot be faked, as long as those who are interested go to check, my origin is not a secret.

"There are some adults who are not used to being a businessman, and they have been suppressing me all the time. I have not been promoted for seven years since I entered the Hanlin Academy at the age of 26.

"Because these people look down on businessmen and belittle businessmen, as long as I still have the blood of the Shen family in my body, I will never be able to get ahead, I will never be promoted, and I will not be reused.

"Until Uncle Yan's incident happened, I bumped into something that shouldn't be seen, Jiang Ge Lao said, as long as I follow his words and let me bite Uncle Yan to death, I will not be suppressed in the future. If I dare to tell him about him, he will reveal the secret that I am a businessman, so that I will not be able to turn over in officialdom for the rest of my life. I'm also obsessed, so I'll agree......"

When Shen Mo said this, Jiang Ge Lao, who was already trembling with anger on the side, suddenly got up, his strength was so great that his calves pushed the heavy official hat chair back, rubbing against the ground with an unpleasant "creak".

"Nonsense! It's bloody! When did this official threaten you? If you are really a businessman, your character is low, and you bite people indiscriminately when you open your mouth, the Holy Ancestor does not deceive me, I knew that you were a businessman, and the official would have deposed you! ”

Jiang Ge Lao's eyes were red, his hands trembled, and he was excited to rush up and beat someone, Fang Jinrui gave him a look, and the servants on both sides helped Jiang Ge Lao. Forced pressure on the chair and sat down. He also covered his mouth.

Jiang Ge was treated so rudely, and he struggled even more, but he was pressed by others, and he had no ability to resist.

"Shen Xiu, what the hell happened that day, you recruited from the truth."

"Yes. Students must tell the truth. That day was indeed as Uncle Yan said. He wanted to divorce Miss Jiang, so he asked me to be a witness. We went to Jiang's house, but we were not entertained, only one of the servants came to serve tea, and we both cooled in the front hall, and no one paid attention to us after waiting for a long time.

"As the students ate their tea, they felt a little sleepy. Uncle Yan was even more drowsy at that time.

Just when the students were about to fall asleep, they suddenly heard a woman's screams and cries for help, which woke up both the students and Uncle Yan. We went out of the front hall, there was no one in the courtyard, the woman's screams were too terrible, so we went straight to the source of the sound, thinking that we had seen the subordinates of the Jiang Mansion all the way and were calling for more people

"I followed the sound to a side room, but the students saw it, saw ......"

Fang Jinrui asked, "What do you see?" Still not telling the truth? ”

"Yes." Shen Mo wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "The student saw that Elder Jiang Ge was forcibly insulting Miss Jiang. The two were disheveled, and they were doing those things. ”

"What!"

This really stunned everyone.

Jiang Ge is too old and obedient, and he has been in a high position for many years, he is not a young and impulsive young man, where can he be so anxious, besides, if he wants a woman, what woman can't get it? How can you force your own daughter?

"Ridiculous!" Yang Ge, who was listening, got up angrily, pointed at Shen Mo and reprimanded: "You treacherous villain, talking nonsense, slandering the officials of the imperial court, and bullying the king, you should be beheaded!" ”

Not only Yang Gelao, but even Zhu Youning felt that this statement was too ridiculous.

The father is strong on his daughter, and he can still be bumped into by two guests, is it possible that the Jiang family's descendants are all dead?

Shen Mo didn't think about it and continued: "We were all stunned at that time. Uncle Yan was hit on the spot and fainted in the back of the head. In a panic, I was attacked by several guards, and I almost felt that I was going to be killed.

"Who would have thought that Elder Jiang Ge would threaten me with my life experience at that time, and he would need me to be successful in the future.

"I have been doing so many years of revision, and I am indeed unwilling, Jiang Ge is old and powerful, and he can almost cover the sky with one hand, and I am indeed afraid, so I gave in, and only then did I agree to slander Uncle Yan.

"These days, I haven't come out to testify to Uncle Yan, in fact, I am also very entangled and panicked in my heart. It's just that I hesitated and didn't make up my mind. However, with the presence of the Holy Lord today, and the call of the adults, I can finally tell the truth with confidence. ”

When Shen Mo said this, he kowtowed, and then lowered his eyes and was silent.

Jiang Ge Lao's eyes were red and almost dripping blood at this time, and he struggled hard, and the two young and strong servants were almost unable to suppress him.

Fang Jinrui's brows furrowed and asked Yan Sui: "Uncle Yan, what Shen Xiu said just now is different from the confession you said. Didn't you eat tea and don't know anything? ”

Yan Sui raised his eyes to look at Shen Mo, then at Fang Jinrui, and sighed solemnly: "Lord Hui, the confession I said just now is indeed true, my memory stopped drinking tea, I have no memory of the rest of the matter, and when I completely regained consciousness, someone had already stuffed a knife in my hand." What Lord Shen said, it is indeed possible, but I was drugged and really can't remember. ”

Zhu Youning looked at Yan Sui.

Maybe he took drugs and his brain was dizzy, so there was a fault in his memory, just like a drunk person can break off.

But Zhu Youning always felt that Shen Mo's confession was really incredible, even if Jiang Ge was old and cunning, thick-skinned and black-bellied, he wouldn't force his daughter if he wanted a woman!

Could there be a hidden meaning in this?

At this time, the people outside the hall also heard about the situation, and they were all shocked and shouted.

Jiang Ge is such a big official, he would actually poison his daughter, it is simply inferior to a beast!

Fang Jinrui looked at Jiang Ge Lao, who had been indignant and wanted to speak, so he turned to take the record of Beizhen Fusi's injury examination for Yan Sui, and then looked at Yuan Jianqing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"Commander Yuan."

Yuan Jianqing stood up and arched his hand with a smile: "Lord Fang." ”

"Uncle Yan's medical record in Beizhen Fusi that day, can it be true?"

"Don't worry, my lord, the record is completely true, Uncle Yan was severely punished by Zhao Yuanwailang of the Criminal Department that day, with whiplashes and burns on his body, and clip lock wounds on his fingers and ankles, and different degrees of bruises on his face and head."

"So was he knocked unconscious, or was it due to the drug?"

"My lord, he did show signs of being hit in the head, but I can't be sure how he fainted."

Fang Jinrui thought about it for a while, and then said, "Take the Jiang family." ”

At this time, there was a soap from outside to spread the word: "Back to my lord, bring the bamboo leaves." ”

Fang Jinrui raised his voice and said, "Pass the bamboo leaves." ”

Not long after, I saw that the little girl Zhuye, who was originally on an errand in Renyibo's mansion, but was seduced by Miss Jiang on the spot, entered the hall.

Zhu Ye originally only thought about falling in love with Miss Jiang, so that she would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life, and she could also accept the grace of beauties. Who would have thought of such a thing?

The scene of the trial of the case in Shuntianfu was too big, the chief trial and deputy judge, plus the officials who were observing, all of them were all senior officials that he could only look up to, Zhu Ye was so frightened that he fell to the ground on the spot, and he didn't even dare to quibble, so he directly said the events of the day.

The process of Miss Jiang seducing him that he said was no different from Yan Sui's confession.

Fang Jinrui said: "In this way, it can indeed be proved that Uncle Yan wants to divorce Miss Jiang because Miss Jiang has a loss of morality first." Since he wants to withdraw from the marriage, there is no motive for killing. ”

At this time, Jiang Ge Lao was still covering his mouth, and he couldn't say a word.

Fang Jinrui was not allowed to observe the officials' roaring in court before, but now he turned a blind eye when he saw Jiang Ge Lao so embarrassed. The rest of the officials who were watching didn't want to be forked out, and besides, they were a little confused at this time, so it was not easy for them to express their opinions.

After waiting for two more pillars of incense, the maids and adoptive mothers who served Miss Jiang in Jiang's Mansion were all brought.

Fang Jinrui asked in a deep voice: "Miss Jiang met Uncle Yan in the boudoir that day?" When you get to the court, think clearly before you reply! ”

The maids trembled with fear by Fang Jinrui, and they said:

"Back to my lord, the slave didn't dare to lie, that day, Uncle Yan didn't come to the lady's boudoir. The young lady was not in the boudoir at all that day. ”

"Yes, my lord, Miss listened to the master's instructions that day, saying that she went to the study to ask about knowledge. It was Xiao Tao who followed Miss. Little Peach can testify. ”

The maidservant Xiao Tao trembled like chaff, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Hui, my young lady, she died unjustly!" The eldest of my family has always liked to move his hands and feet to the young lady, and the slave maid served the young lady closely, and he bumped into him several times. On the day of the master, he took the young lady to the wing room in the outer courtyard, and the slave and maid were not allowed to serve, and the slave and maid were outside, and they heard the young lady calling for help. Later, the slave and maid really didn't dare to know this, so they hid, and they didn't know what happened next. ”

At this time, Jiang Ge Lao finally broke free from the errand that was suppressing him, and rushed up with blood-red eyes and said, "You spray people with blood!" You said! Who instructed you to perjury against me! ”

Fang Jinrui saw that Jiang Ge was crazy, because he was so messy, the case could not be tried, and he had something to say before, so he said ruthlessly at the moment: "Come on, fork Jiang Ge out." ”

"Yes."

Soap Li stepped forward and put Jiang Ge's old one on the left and one on the right.

Jiang Ge came out of the lobby, and when he faced the onlookers, he was spat on his face first.

"Phew! It's still old! ”

"If you don't fix it, you don't have a face! I don't even let go of my own daughter! ”

"It's just a demon in the color, you should burn this kind of person to death!"

……

The people were indignant, and some people felt that there might be something strange about this matter, so they didn't say a word, but there were also many people who felt that there were a lot of such yin in the mansion door, since Jiang Ge Lao was corrected by so many maids, could there still be a fake? It was because they all saw him as a brute who forced his daughter and killed people.

Jiang Ge's old hair was scattered, his face was dirty, and he looked back at the lobby, his expression was also a little sluggish.

Fang Jinrui stood up at this time, bypassed the several deputy judges with heavy faces, and saluted through the screen in front of the rare door: "Holy Lord." After verification, Uncle Yan did withdraw from the marriage because he found out that Miss Jiang was having an affair, and he had no motive to kill Miss Jiang, nor did he commit the crime, and there was all the evidence. The case of Uncle Yan's rape and murder of Miss Jiang should be closed. Please show me the Holy Majesty. ”

There was silence in the screen for a moment, and then the emperor's slightly tired voice came: "I heard clearly. The case is indeed clear. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any questions? ”

Cao Deqiu and the other deputy judges, as well as the rest of the officials who were observing, all stood up and saluted in unison.

"The ministers have no objections."

Everyone is a smart person, and they tacitly agree not to talk about the unbelievable things between Jiang Ge Lao and Miss Jiang. Just like Tie Pimple said, the truth about Yan Sui's murder of Miss Jiang has been revealed, and the case can be closed.

The emperor nodded and said, "In this case, Fang Aiqing, you can deal with it." ”

"Yes."

Fang Jinrui returned to the lobby and said loudly: "The case of Renyi Bo Yanlan's rape and murder of the Jiang family has been ascertained, and Renyi Bo is really wronged and sentenced to be released on the spot." ”

As soon as the words fell, an errand officer stepped forward to untie the shackles for Yan Sui.

The great eunuch Xiao Zhengde came to the hall and said with a smile: "Our family congratulates Uncle Yan, the meaning of the saint, the uncle is still back to his original position, everything is as usual, these days the uncle has been wronged, the saint has set aside two gold silk satin horses from the inner house, and 10,000 yuan of treasure money to make up for the uncle's body." ”
