Chapter 357: Accused of assassinating the Queen Mother
The official of Dali Temple was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The lower official was ordered to arrest the county lord, and now you are wearing a guilty body, why do you want this official to salute you?" ”
Bai Mujin didn't say a word, stepped forward and gave the man a big-eared scraper, and scolded: "Okay, you thing with no eyes, what crime has this palace committed?" Does the emperor have a will to take the position of the county lord of the palace? You dare to commit a crime and despise this palace, let's go into the palace and let the emperor comment on this palace, you are a person from Dali Temple, can you do anything wrong? ”
The man panicked for a moment before he said: "It's not impossible to ask the official to face the county lord, but it's better to ask the county lord to go to Dali Temple with the official first!" ”
Bai Mu Hibiscus snorted coldly and said, "Who is your surname, who ordered you to arrest this palace, and ...... What crime did Hongu commit? ”
The man didn't prevaricate, and simply replied neatly: "The lower official's surname is Mei, and the cursive character is benevolent." I came on the order of Lord Qing Shang of Dali Temple, because the Queen Mother met an assassin in Xiangguo Temple, and the assassin had already confessed that the county lord had taken her into Xiangguo Temple after interrogation! ”
The corners of Bai Mujian's mouth showed a hint of ridicule, and said: "I see, this is indeed a serious matter, so can the Queen Mother be injured?" ”
Mei Renxin said: "It's not true, it's just that the relics pagoda of Xiangguo Temple went to the water for no reason, and caught this assassin of unknown origin in the tower, and the assassin pounced on the queen mother as soon as he woke up. ”
Bai Muhibi nodded and asked: "This is strange, the main palace has never been to the relics pagoda, when the main palace left Xiangguo Temple, the queen mother was fine, where did the assassin come from?" What does this have to do with the palace, is it just based on the words of a person of unknown origin, do you dare to arrest the palace in Dali Temple? ”
"This ...... Lord Shang only said that he wanted to ask the county lord to find out about the case, but he didn't say that he wanted to arrest you! Mei Renxin's arrogance suddenly fell.
Bai Mujin said and gave him a big-eared scraper, and scolded: "Then you dare to say anything to this palace to arrest and bring to justice, and also say that this palace is a guilty body, who gave you dog guts?" ”
Mei Renxin's body was almost crooked to the ground, covering his face, and he was surprised in his heart, looking at the delicate girl, why was his hand so strong, and he felt that his teeth were about to loosen.
Mei Renxin covered his face and said, "You...... The county lord is so rude, and I am also an official of the imperial court, how can you say that you will fight? You are contemptuous of the law and order, and you have no emperor! ”
Bai Mujin sneered and said, "Then what crime should you be guilty of disrespecting the county lord?" The sesame official of the little Dali Temple even dared to shout at the palace, believe it or not, this palace is the emperor, and you are a contempt for the royal family, intending to make food? ”
Mei Renxin blushed and glanced at Lu Zhaoan, as if waiting for Lu Zhaoan to speak out to help, but where could Lu Zhaoan be so stupid? Bai Hibiscus has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and it is not the first time he has seen it, and now that Bai Hibiscus has to leave, he will not touch this moldy head.
Mei Renxin saw that there was no hope of asking for help, so he said curtly: "The lower official knows his mistake, and he also asks the county lord to be magnanimous." The lower officials are also in a hurry, so they will anger the county lord! ”
Bai Muhibiscus snorted and said: "Since it is the Queen Mother's business, this palace naturally can't go away, but trouble Lord Mei Renxin, you still have to have a little humanity, don't think that there is someone behind you to support you, so you dare to be disrespectful!" ”
Mei Renxin was scolded with a disgraced face, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't say a word after all, and said after a while: "County Lord, please!" The Queen Mother confessed, no matter who the person involved is, you must do business, so don't be embarrassed! ”
Bai Mujin ignored him, and instead said to Lu Zhaoan: "Second uncle, grandma is unpredictable now, you have to be careful, if grandma has a good one, this palace will not give up, you better remember!" ”
Lu Zhaoan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the county lord, now you are in trouble, don't worry about our Lu family's affairs, take care, Dali Temple is not the White Tiger Hall of Yulinwei...... No one will help the county lord anymore! ”
Bai Muhibiscus also smiled back and said, "Thank you for your concern, this palace has always been auspicious, and besides...... Evil is invincible, and people who are never unlucky will not be this palace! ”
Lu Zhaoan's eyes darkened, and he didn't say anything after all, but said in a loud voice: "Congratulations to the county lord, I hope the county lord can return safely!" ”
He didn't believe it, Bai Hibiscus could always be so lucky, Dali Temple was not King Xuan's sphere of influence, and Old Man Lu was not there, who would give Bai Hibiscus face. Not to mention...... Dali Siqing has a very personal relationship with the Chu County Palace, although it is not controlled by the King of Chu County, but it is almost the same.
Bai Mujin goes, I'm afraid I have to take off a layer of skin, that Shang Kejing is not a good person, Dali Temple has always been one of the places that the magnates are most afraid of, this is a public hall specially set up for nobles and even royalty!
As long as the cases involving the royal family, clan relatives and princes are basically handled by Dali Temple, so there is nothing powerful in their eyes, and some are how to force the powerful to bow their heads and admit their guilt.
Bai Mu Hibiscus looked at the bright lights of the Dali Temple public hall, Shang Kejing sat under the selfless plaque of the Dali Temple with a serious face, and when he saw Bai Mu Hibiscus coming in, he just stood up and arched his hand, and said, "The lower official has given the county lord a salute!" ”
Bai Mujin didn't greet him, but said, "I don't know why Lord Shang invited this palace here so late?" ”
"Oh...... Didn't Mei Renxin inform the county lord of Anping of the case? It's okay, the lower officials will make it clear to the county lord one by one, come here, bring the assassin Min! Shang Kejing didn't drag his feet, and directly detained the prisoner in court, so that he could confront Bai Mujian face to face.
Bai Mujin stood aside unhurriedly, but she was thinking in her heart, this assassin was probably the mysterious woman she stunned, who was this person, and why did he want to bite her? Or, in fact, this is a game for yourself from beginning to end?
Bai Hibiscus couldn't sort it out, and the woman was carried up with blood, and the pungent smell of blood made the magpie wrinkle its nose, but Bai Hibiscus didn't even lift her head.
She knew this place very well, and she had tasted such a punishment many times, and she still remembered it vividly, covered in blood, that is, when she had bathed herself. But it's a pity that she didn't even go to this court back then, and she was convicted and beheaded in a different place!
Shocked, Shang Ke shouted in a deep voice: "The person under the hall is the Min family? ”
The woman raised her head slightly, and said in a broken voice, "Yes...... It's ......"
Shang Kejing patted the shocked wood again and said, "Can you admit that you intended to assassinate the Queen Mother?" ”
"I confessed...... ...... confessed" Min quickly confessed as if he was overly frightened.
Shang Kejing asked again: "Who are you instructed by, why do you want to assassinate the Queen Mother, come one by one, if there is the slightest fraud, this official will not spare it!" ”
"It's the county lord of Anping...... It was she who instructed the prisoner to assassinate the queen mother, as for the reason, the prisoner didn't know, the prisoner just obeyed orders! As soon as Min opened his mouth, he pointed directly at Bai Hibiscus.
Shang Kejing slapped the shocked wood in anger again, and shouted, "Do you know that framing the county lord is a capital crime? ”
Min hurriedly said in fear: "The prisoner doesn't dare, the prisoner's sentence is true, if she wasn't tortured by the adult, the prisoner wouldn't dare to confess to the county lord, please find out!" ”
Shang Kejing nodded, stroked his beard with satisfaction, and then said, "Then are you willing to draw a confession?" ”
Min hesitated slightly, then nodded, and said, "The prisoner is willing, the prisoner is willing to do anything, I just want the adults to give the prisoner a good time!" ”
Shang Kejing was about to call someone to give her a confession, but she was stopped by Bai Mujian and said, "Slow down, this palace still has something to say!" ”
Shang Kejing frowned and said: "County Lord Anping, this is the Dali Temple Court, not the county lord's mansion, this official will try the case, even the county lord has no right to put his beak, you should understand!" ”
Bai Mujin smiled for a moment, and then said: "This palace does not want to interfere with the adult's questioning of the case, but since this woman identifies this palace as the mastermind behind the scenes, she can't just listen to her, as the person who is named, this palace has the right to distinguish for itself, according to the law, this palace also has the right to ask the master to defend this palace!" ”
Shang Kejing was speechless, he hadn't found out that this county lord of Anping was actually a person who knew the law well, didn't those noble ladies like to drink tea and feast all day long, travel the mountains and rivers, and enjoy the flowers and the moon? Why do you still read the law?
Shang Ke said quietly: "According to the new Tianyuan Law, there is such a rule, but ...... This case involves the Queen Mother, if the county lord wants to find a lawyer, I am afraid that the Queen Mother needs to approve it! ”
Bai Mujin smiled lightly again, and then said: "In the Tianyuan Law, there is no clause that the defendant asks for a lawyer, and the plaintiff needs to agree, is the lord deceiving the palace and not understanding the law, or are you ignoring the law yourself?" Since this case was handed over to Dali Temple to deal with, the Queen Mother only acted in accordance with the law, and did not intend to let the adults not give the palace the right to speak, so that the palace would be condemned, right? ”
The first time Shang Kejing met such a eloquent woman, she was still a little girl who could be her granddaughter, and she suddenly couldn't hold back her face, and said: "Special affairs, assassinating the queen mother is a big crime of the nine clans, and the county lord should not play with it!" ”
"This palace just knows that the crime of assassinating the queen mother is extremely evil, so you can't let the adults say anything, since you want to judge the palace, you must also act in accordance with the law, otherwise you will be convicted of the emperor's personal crown of the county lord, do you think your adult is enough?" Bai Mu Hibiscus threatened.
Shang Kejing was stunned for a moment, and said: "This official naturally has no intention of convicting the county lord of the county, this matter will definitely be revealed to the saint and judged by the saint himself!" ”
Bai Mujin nodded and said approvingly: "It seems that Lord Shang is still very reasonable and understands the law, in this case, your lord should allow this palace to speak before the Ming Sheng, right?" ”
Shang Kejing was a little surprised by Bai Mujian's calm aura, as if the smile on her face had not changed since she stepped into this court, as if she was wearing a human skin mask, even if she was identified as the mastermind behind the assassination of the Empress Dowager, she did not see her face change slightly.
In this way, he really had to deal with this girl carefully, coughed lightly, and said, "Since the county lord has something to say, this official naturally can't stop it!" ”
