Chapter 524: The trial begins
Early in the morning, the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion sent someone to pick up people from Prince Rui's Mansion. Hua Qingyan originally wanted to be coquettish and ask Yun Shumo to take her to the prison to have a look, but looking at the posture outside the mansion, she had to rest her mind and obediently got into her own carriage.
Hua Qingying sat on the wheel with a cold face, and pulled the corners of her mouth at Yun Shumo with difficulty: "Lord Wang, although you are engaged to your sister, but you have not officially married, let an innocent girl stay overnight, this is not good for my sister's reputation." ”
In the face of such accusations, Yun Shumo did not feel the slightest guilt, and raised his eyebrows: "Then let her marry as soon as possible." ”
"Phew, my sister-in-law, can you marry if you want!" Hua Qingying slammed back mercilessly.
In the face of her brother who had a sudden change in painting style, Hua Qingyan was helpless, she also knew that Hua Qingying was under great pressure, she had to shoulder the safety of Daqi, and she was worried about her wife, which was too heavy for Hua Qingying, so Hua Qingying's face was calm during this time, and she did not smile even in front of the children.
Hua Qingyan touched Hua Qingyan's head: "Brother, let's go back." ”
Hua Qingyan's action is intimate, but it is a little big and small. The corners of Hua Qingyan's mouth twitched, grabbed Hua Qingyan's hand, and pushed Hua Qingyan into the carriage with a backhand push. Hua Qingying hugged her fist towards Yun Shumo: "Lord Wang, let's go first." ”
When she returned to the Hou Mansion, Hua Qingyan was scolded by Hua Yaozong's head and face, why a big girl doesn't return home at night, why did she live in her husband's house who didn't pass through the door, etc., Hua Qingyan's ears were red before she stopped. Hua Qingyan blushed silently, did not refute, but also sighed, the atmosphere of their family has become like this, it is all the people of the Han family who are making trouble!
She is a person who doesn't want to cause trouble, but the Han family is about to make their family unpeaceful, if you don't give them a little color to see, you really think you can go to heaven!
Hua Qingyan racked her brains and thought that she should rub the sharp spirit of the Han family, but the people from the Criminal Department who went to Qingjiu County to investigate came back and brought evidence to Xuan Mu Zilan directly to the court.
Mu Zilan is a girl's family, where has she ever seen such a battle, although she is on the side of Zhanli, she is still a little flustered. As a friend, Hua Qingyan accompanied Mu Zilan to the Criminal Department without saying a word.
"I'm a little nervous." Looking at the majestic gate of the Criminal Department, Mu Zilan's legs were a little trembling.
"What's there to be nervous about." Hua Qingyan patted her shoulder, "The whole thing, you are the victim, the Criminal Department is to seek justice for your Mu family, you can rest assured, neither our Hua family nor Prince Rui's Mansion will let you be wronged." Therefore, you should not mess up and let the merchants take advantage of the loopholes. ”
How could Mu Zilan not understand what Hua Qingyan said, although she is now a person from Linyuan Winery, the Hua family has no obligation to help her avenge at all, and she has also pulled Prince Rui's Mansion to back her up, which is simply a great kindness! Mu Zilan thought that she must not let down Hua Qingyan's friendship for herself!
Mu Zilan took a deep breath and nodded towards Hua Qingyan: "I'm ready, this battle, I can't lose no matter what!" ”
"Okay, we're not going to lose."
As soon as Hua Qingyan's words fell, Shang Yuyang walked over from a distance. There are a lot of people from the merchants, and they have all seen Hua Qingyan and Mu Zilan, and they have seen it in the criminal department at this time, and they feel like enemies are meeting. is indeed an enemy, if it weren't for Shang Liu's forcible takeaway of the Mu family's heirloom wine recipe, there would be no fall of the Mu family in the future, let alone the current East Window incident.
The merchant is an enemy to Mu Zilan, and Mu Zilan is also an enemy to the merchant.
If Mu Zilan hadn't been born, Shang Liu would not have been imprisoned, and the merchant would not have collapsed!
When the enemies met, the emotions of both sides were stimulated, compared to the calm Mu Zilan, the merchant side was much more excited, glaring at Mu Zilan angrily one by one, if they could, they would definitely pounce and tear Mu Zilan apart and swallow it into their stomachs!
Those red eyes full of hatred made Mu Zilan unconsciously take a few steps back.
Hua Qingyan clasped Mu Zilan's shoulder, raised her eyebrows and said, "What, the people from the merchant want to attack the victim in front of this criminal department?" ”
"We are the victims!" A woman couldn't help but shout, and she couldn't help but shout, and she couldn't wait to eat Hua Qingyan with her.
Hua Qingyan sneered, didn't pay attention to the woman who had lost her mind, but looked at the leading Shang Youyang, "Master Shang, you should be clear about what is right and which is wrong for so long." ”
"County Lord." Shang Youyang opened his mouth, but in the end he only showed a wry smile.
More than twenty years of glory and prosperity were obtained by his father by despicable means, and when all the lies and sins were exposed, everything turned into a dazzling bubble. The business that you used to enjoy is filled with abuse and resentment every day, and there are people complaining all the time. They didn't dare to blame the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion or Prince Rui's Mansion, because it was an existence that they couldn't afford to climb and couldn't offend. However, they are not afraid of Mu Zilan, so they talk about Mu Zilan every day, starting with her dead father and scolding until Mu Zilan's later life, no matter how ugly it sounds, it doesn't stop for a moment.
However, they also began to complain about Shang Yang and Shang Liu, thinking that all this started from their merchants' divorce, if Shang Liu's decision to let go of the Hua family's family business, then now their merchants are still high, enjoying glory and wealth, and enjoying the admiration and envy of thousands of people! It's not like this now, and you don't dare to go out at all, because as soon as you go out, you will be greeted with countless contemptuous eyes!
By the way, home? What else is home? Just yesterday, the merchant compound has been sealed by the people of the Criminal Department, and dozens of people in the family have all been driven out!
The merchants were angry but also very afraid, this is a crime of bullying, but they will punish the nine clans!
The culprit of all this is Mu Zilan! This makes the businessman who is about to separate his head from his body not hate!
But what about hate? It's all about to be a foregone conclusion.
It's not that the merchant didn't want to go over to find Hua Qingyan, let her see the melodious relationship with Shang before, spare them this time, let Hua Qingyan talk to Mu Zilan, let the two families reconcile, and even want Mu Zilan to tell the emperor that the wine party was created by the two of them, and there was no business robbery at all.
Merchants want to be beautiful, but they don't want to be happy at all. Because they can't see Hua Qingyan at all!
The county lord is very busy, every time the merchants arrive at the door of the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, before they can explain their intentions, they are ruthlessly driven away by the porter, not to mention Hua Qingyan, even Mu Zilan has not been able to meet!
The road of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion could not be followed, so they sent people to guard the various markets and wait for Mu Zilan to come out. Mu Zilan can't hide in the Hou Mansion every day, as long as she has a heart, she will definitely be able to wait for people!
It's a pity that Mu Zilan is on the street, but every time she is accompanied by someone, the merchants don't have any chance to get close at all.
The merchant had no way to ask for help, and waited and waited, but waited until the day of the verdict.
At this time, an official walked out of the Criminal Department, and respectfully owed to Hua Qingyan, "Lu Mian, the waiter of the Criminal Department, has seen the county lord. The county lord, please. But when it comes to this class, the county lord can only observe, which is really sorry. ”
Hua Qingyan smiled and waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just idle to see the excitement, I believe that Lord Lu will not be unfair." ”
The merchant's home has been raided, which proves that the investigation of the Criminal Department has already yielded results, and the things that Shang Liu did back then are simply conclusive, so she is not afraid of the merchant's reversal.
Lord Lu also breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded towards Mu Zilan: "Miss Mu, please." After that in the lobby, you just have to tell the truth. ”
"Okay." Mu Zilan bit her lip firmly.
The merchant is no secret in Yongjing City, almost the whole city knows that the Qionghua brewed by the merchant who was named the imperial wine is not owned by the merchant, and the matter of Shang Liu's killing of his confidant brother for his own selfish sake is also widely spread and is very despicable, so today's trial of this case by the Criminal Department has attracted a lot of people to come and see, and the door of the lobby is tightly blocked. Many people still carry a basket in their hands, and if you look closely, you will find that there are actually some rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs inside, which is obviously used against the merchants.
Hua Qingyan naturally saw it, and whispered in Mu Zilan's ear, which provoked Mu Zilan to finally smile.
Hua Qingyan's eyes were sharp, and she also saw a person in the crowd.
Hua Qingyan looked at the sun, that person should be teaching two children in the Hou Mansion at the moment, and it stands to reason that there is no reason to appear in the Criminal Department.
However, Hua Qingyan looked at Mu Zilan, who was standing in the center of the lobby, and bent her eyebrows, how could there be no reason, Mu Zilan is the best reason!
And the person Hua Qingyan found was none other than Mr. Yu Feng, who taught the piano without worrying and Xi'er.
After Master Lu sat down at the desk, the officials on both sides shouted mightily, and as soon as the hall was startled, the originally noisy yamen of the criminal department was quiet, and it looked particularly solemn. Soon Shang Liu was escorted up. Shang Liu's glorious and beautiful appearance at the birthday banquet that day was long gone, he was wearing a gray prison uniform, with a buckle around his neck, his hands and feet were buckled, his hair was messy, and his face was sallow.
Shang Liu seemed to have accepted his fate, and knelt on the ground with a pop, his face like ashes. He looked at Master Lu, then at Hua Qingyan who was sitting on the side, and finally his eyes fell on Mu Zilan's face.
"Miss Mu." Shang Liu spoke, his voice was very ugly, as if he was struggling to squeeze out of his throat, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Mu Zilan looked at him and didn't say anything, Shang Liu smiled miserably: "After so many years, your Mu family still won." ”
