Chapter 20: Confrontation in Court (1)
In order to have enough time to solve the problem, Ouyang Jing got up early the next morning, and while having breakfast, he instructed Muzi to inform the city head to prepare for the opening of the hall.
Poor Liu Ming hasn't found Liu Qing yet, but he only knows a general story from the accompanying officers and soldiers, and he hasn't completely figured out what is going on, and he is unwilling to open a hall in his heart.
However, who would dare to disobey the emperor's closest father-in-law, Muzi? He didn't dare! Therefore, we can only do it with fear.
It had been a day and a night without seeing enough light, Ouyang Jing felt dazzling as soon as she stepped out of the door of the cell, and hurriedly blocked her eyes, and it took a while to get used to it, but unfortunately, she didn't take a few steps, and she was dazzled again.
What's the matter with this group of commotion?
Could it be that she made a slip of the tongue that day, these people have a grudge and came to see her jokes today, right?
"Princess, it's the princess who has come out!"
Well, Ouyang Jing paused, not daring to leave. She just came out, and they were so excited, if she proved her innocence, these people wouldn't be able to calm her, right?
"Oops! What a princess! Come on, Princess! ”
Huh? Ouyang Jing was dumbfounded, her ears shouldn't have their own change function, right?
"Yes, yes, come on, princess! We believe in you! ”
"We believe in you!" ......
The sound kept flowing, and she was shocked, changing the function without such a good one!
Obviously, her IQ could no longer understand the phenomenon in front of her, she rolled her eyes, and hurriedly asked Ningxia, whose IQ had always been lower than her. "What's going on?"
No way, isn't there no third person to ask?
"Miss, they're here to cheer you on." With a full sense of pride, under Ouyang Jing's eager eyes, Ningxia explained with a smile:
"Yesterday the news of your new quilt for the women's prison has spread in the main city. There are no felons in the women's prison, and they will go back after a while, but the extremely poor conditions have caused many people to fall ill after being released from prison, and some even die before they can be released from prison.
You asked the head of the city to clean the women's prison to improve the environment, and add quilts, and the families of these criminals were so excited that everyone praised you for your kindness. Everyone thinks that you are such a kind-hearted person who will not steal, so I will cheer you on today. ”
Oh~~ I see.
Ouyang Jing nodded, looking at the crowd who were stopped outside the door in the distance, and felt a little excited in his heart. Cheering? That's a lot of people!
Does Ariki feel like she's the eldest sister? It's exciting to think about, pull the wind!
Obviously, she didn't need to go through the door to go to the court, so she specially walked a few more steps over there, and when she passed by the door, she couldn't help but raise her hand and wave lightly, and said arrogantly: "Comrades, it's hard work." "The demeanor of a leader is really amazing.
"It's not hard~" In the crowd, I don't know who answered, and suddenly the voices of the people were everywhere.
Ouyang Jing was so excited, did she want to go back and tell them that she should go back to "serve the people"? And then...... She was dragged away by Ningxia who was very disgusted.
"Miss, aren't you afraid of losing time? What if you don't finish the trial when the prince comes back? ”
"Uh... It makes sense, Ningxia, let's hurry up. ”
Without waiting for Ningxia to pull, she ran away happily by herself.
As soon as Liu Ming saw her come in, he hurriedly greeted her, pleasing the princess was the only thing he could do to save his life at the moment.
The main city, at the feet of the emperor, there are not many people who have violated the law and committed crimes, and the previous city head has strict governance, so in his hands, he only needs to act according to the previous regulations, and there is really no need to do anything.
He thought he would just wait for the elderly, but he couldn't imagine such a moth, hey.
"Princess, do you want to go and sit down on it?"
"No need, I'm not a suspect, you can sit down, my lord." She's going to have a quick fight today, so she shouldn't be too tired to stand for a while.
"Okay, listen to the princess." Liu Ming didn't dare to persuade more, after all, he didn't know what kind of character the princess was.
As soon as he sat down, before he could speak, he saw Ouyang Jing lightly sweep the crowd, and then asked, "Why don't you see people from the palace coming?" The concubine was tried, and the family members didn't come? ”
The mastermind is not here, how will she play later?
"This ......" Liu Ming hesitated, when the case was tried, it was voluntary if the family was not present, he couldn't drag everyone over, right?
If it's an ordinary person, he can try it. But, that's the palace, all of them are masters, and he won't dare to grow ten heads!
As soon as "Ming" saw his cowardice, Ouyang Jing knew that he couldn't do it, so he had to solve it himself. "The housekeeper should be waiting outside the door, you go and tell him that all the ten ladies of the palace must be judged outside the court, and whoever doesn't come will be chopped directly."
Chop it, she said it very lightly, anyway, it's enough to be heard, but it can't spoil the kind image that has just been established. In fact, she said that if you don't scare, those women will definitely be disobedient.
"Lord Castle, are you okay?" It's someone's court anyway, Ouyang Jing still consults meaningfully.
"No, no." Liu Ming's body trembled, and he hurriedly replied.
For some reason, he always felt that it was not a good thing for his daughter to come. The daughter who has been spoiled by him since she was a child, he knows too well, although he is very smart, but he is too impulsive, and he just hopes that today's affairs will not have anything to do with her.
Within half an hour of his departure, the housekeeper came with a group of female dependents. Ouyang Jing's eyes raised slightly, and Mu Zi said sharply: "Ten chairs are added to the hall, please listen to the ladies in the hall." ”
The ladies were dissatisfied, but when they saw Muzi's indispensable appearance and lofty appearance, no one dared to say anything. Anyone with a bit of a brain knows that if a father-in-law dares to put on such a posture, his master must be a person not to be underestimated.
Therefore, in ancient times, if you offend anyone, you can't offend your father-in-law, because this thing is only available in the palace.
Muzi opened his mouth, Liu Ming naturally didn't dare to refute, and hurriedly ordered the people around him to move. Everything was ready, and then the trial began.
"Princess, can you tell you about the experience of being framed that day."
Before the trial, let's say that she was framed. Ouyang Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "The matter is very simple, that is, I was quietly put a gold medal on the way to shopping and framed me for stealing it." ”
"So, the testimony against you that day, you see?"
With this attitude, Ouyang Jing is really about to vomit blood, who is trying the case!
Ay! "Bring it with you."
"Yes." Liu Ming responded first, and then turned around and shouted, "Bring a witness." ”
This magic horse logic! Ouyang Jing regretted it now, she should have sat on it, and finished the self-examination directly.
The shopkeeper was escorted in, knelt on the ground, and after introducing himself with a simple salute, he hurriedly said without waiting for Liu Ming to ask: "My lord, that day I testified that the princess was forced, someone held my family hostage, and the villain had to do it against his will, in fact, that thing, the villain has never seen it at all." ”
"And do you know who threatens you is?" Liu Ming asked.
"The villain doesn't know. But the villain has objects of suspicion. ”
Ouyang Jing smiled lightly, oops, the main event is about to begin.
"Tell me about it." Seeing that Ouyang Jing's face was good, Liu Ming made a decision directly.
"Yes. That day in the villain's shop, the Seventh Lady and the princess had been fighting for the same fabric because they had fallen in love with it. ”
The startled wood in Liu Ming's hand tightened, and the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.
Later, it was the princess who bought all the fabric. The villain didn't dare to say that the Seventh Lady had a grudge against this, but when the princess went out, the Seventh Lady's maid took the initiative to help her, and the villain felt that this was the perfect time to put things away without knowing it. ”
Well, Ouyang Jing nodded, this rhetoric is really the same as what she explained.
"Shopkeeper, you say this, you don't suspect Mrs. Ben, do you?" The Seventh Lady's impulse was so momentous that she couldn't hold it back before the shopkeeper finished speaking.
"Yo, Father-in-law Muzi, the head of the city, is this concubine lonely and unheard? In this trial, idlers and others can also interject? ”
"Hehe" Liu Ming was quite embarrassed, so he could only angrily reprimand the Seventh Lady, "Sit down, if you say more, you will be punished for disturbing the court." ”
"Daddy!"
"Sit down!" Liu Ming unconsciously raised his voice, sometimes he really hoped that his children could be like him, they would always be a turtle with a shrunken head, as long as they were safe, why bother to be competitive.
Ouyang Jing smiled with satisfaction, in fact, how can she know any rules, she just said it casually, anyway, Liu Ming will listen to her, even if she doesn't listen, isn't there still Muzi.
Oh, today in this court, only she has a part in it.
"After listening to the shopkeeper's story, Concubine Ben also felt that the Seventh Lady was a little suspicious." Ouyang Jing's faint voice, his eyes seemed to sweep towards the Seventh Lady unintentionally, and when he saw her indignant, he immediately felt ridiculous.
was just exposed, not wronged, what did she hate? Hate to be discovered too quickly?
"However, Concubine Ben thought that the Seventh Lady was a woman that the prince had taken a fancy to, so she shouldn't be such a vicious person."
Hearing this, the Seventh Lady's face relaxed slightly, who did something bad and hoped to be discovered.
It's just that her face didn't last for three seconds, and she only heard Ouyang Jing say again: "However, whether it is or not is not something we guess, fortunately, the prince left a credible person for the concubine when he left." ”
In saying this, she just wanted people to know that the person who came out to testify later was a close confidant of the prince.
"This person successfully rescued the shopkeeper's family, and his kung fu was good, he successfully left three or four kidnappers, and the city head will know who instigated it as long as he is sent to interrogate."
"Someone, pass!" Ouyang Jing spoke, how dare Liu Ming disobey.
It's just that he also noticed that his daughter's face can already be described as crazy, thinking about the one sitting in the back hall, Liu Ming suddenly felt that their family was afraid that they would not be able to escape today.
