Chapter 297: The so-called family
She would never believe that the Lu family could have this ability, not only could they buy Yu Linwei's people, but they could also come up with such a wonderful plan, and they could actually hide from King Xuan, and their skills were not ordinary. Lu Zhaoan? No, Lu Zhaoan is not so capable.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess, Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled, put the evidence on the tray well, and then said, "Your Majesty...... From beginning to end, the minister never intended to defend himself. There is no difference between more and less evidence for ministers. It's just a few more cuts in the minister's heart! ”
Bai Shizu didn't intend to remain silent this time, he seemed to kindly remind: "County Lord, this evidence is not taken out for my father, could it be that the prince will also wronged you?" ”
The prince naturally doesn't want to wronged Bai Hibiscus, but people miss their hands and horses, and the prince can't guarantee that there is no difference 100%.
"Father...... Needless to say, could it be that the father really wants his daughter's white bones to eliminate the hatred in his heart? Bai Hibiscus's eyes were clear, as if he was smiling, and he made people see sadness for no reason.
Bai Shizu dodged, with such a pair of eyes, he really didn't dare to look at them directly. He didn't feel guilty about doing these things, he didn't feel empty, he was also afraid, afraid that after his daughter died, such eyes would always haunt him, and it would become the biggest torture when he dreamed back at midnight.
Lu said gently: "County Lord, your father never thought of your life, just admit your mistake and be soft, your father will definitely plead with the emperor and be light, we are still a family, okay?" ”
Feng Jiuqing said with a smile: "Madam, this is not something you can do lightly if you want to lose your hair lightly, if you are not ready to lose the county lord, you should not come here, now that you are here, don't think that the emperor will fall lightly, abuse witchcraft, and be mortal!" ”
One sentence convicted Bai Mu Hibiscus of death, not only the Lu family and Bai Shizu were surprised, but even the emperor was a little embarrassed, Bai Mu Hibiscus was the county lord who he had not been sealed for a long time, and his cousin used the emperor token, so he was executed, how could he explain to Wushuang?
The emperor asked hesitantly, "Jiuqing, is this matter ...... Isn't it? ”
He clearly remembered that Jiuqing seemed to have some intention of protecting Bai Mu Hibiscus before, why was he about to fall into the well now? Bai Hibiscus did go too far, but it is not impossible to say that it is not impossible to get a light hair.
Feng Jiuqing smiled for a moment before saying: "Since the imperial brother intends to be light, and this king is not easy to put his beak, it is better to ask Ning Guogong and his wife, what kind of punishment should the county lord show!" ”
The emperor nodded, it can be regarded as giving Bai Shizu a chance, after all, it is his own daughter, if he opens his mouth to plead, he will also get off the donkey down the slope, and there is no need to be embarrassed.
Bai Shizu glanced at the Lu family before he said: "The capital crime can be avoided, but after all, the county lord has committed the law of the country, and the minister thinks ...... first deprived the county lord of the title and demoted to the common people. Then ......"
The emperor asked, "Then what?" ”
"Then let him be whipped as an example!" Bai Shizu finally finished saying this, but he felt sweat on his forehead.
As soon as the words fell, I heard the inhalation of the people in the White Tiger Hall, and they all looked at Bai Shizu in shock, I don't know how he could be so ruthless, whipping, those hundred whips, a delicate young lady, can there be a way to live? Just said that he didn't want his daughter to die, and now he is going to be blackmailed.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Bai Shizu hurriedly explained: "The minister is not going to give a hundred lashes, please change it to fifty, a small punishment and a big commandment, I hope she can reform in the future and be a new person!" ”
As soon as Bai Shizu's words fell, he heard a burst of applause outside the White Tiger Hall, slow and crisp, and then he heard Old Madam Lu's voice, and she laughed sarcastically: "Okay...... What a good father, so that the old body is moved! ”
Everyone was shocked, and when they saw Mrs. Lu coming, they sat down again, on this occasion, the Lu family did not appear, but it was a little strange, how could they watch their granddaughter suffer and not care?
Old Madam Lu bowed to the emperor and said, "The old man just came to see the excitement, and asked the emperor to judge for himself, don't pay attention to the concubines!" ”
When the emperor saw that Mrs. Lu was coming, where could she really be if she didn't exist, and hurriedly said: "Come on, give me a seat!" ”
Old Madam Lu thanked her seat, and sat firmly on the emperor's right hand, and she really didn't say a word, but the eyes that looked at Bai Shizu made people shudder.
The emperor coughed, regained everyone's attention, and then said, "Old Madam Lu, you should have heard it clearly outside the White Tiger Hall just now, what is your opinion on this matter?" ”
"How dare the concubines have opinions, just ask the emperor to call the shots, whether to whip the county lord or kill her head, it's up to the emperor!" Old Madam Lu looked righteous and awe-inspiring, as if she really didn't care about how the emperor punished.
The emperor picked up the startling wood and was just about to speak, even the hearts of the Lu family and Bai Shizu were about to jump to their throats, and Bai Yunxi's peeking eyes at Bai Muhibiscus had turned into schadenfreude, but it was a pity......
"Wait! Brother Huang, don't worry, the evidence of the younger brother hasn't been finished yet! Feng Jiuqing spoke at the right time and stopped the emperor's shock.
The emperor was stunned, looked at the startling wood in his hand, and then looked at Feng Jiuqing helplessly, just like looking at his own naughty child, and said, "Jiuqing, when can you stop being so playful?" I'm almost going to make an order, and if you're any late, won't it be a big mistake? ”
Chrysostom said that if the emperor made an order, no matter how much evidence there was, it would be useless, and the emperor would not be able to retract his fate. Otherwise, who will surrender?
Feng Jiuqing smiled apologetically at the emperor, but no matter how you look at it, it is more perfunctory, and the emperor doesn't care, so he hurriedly waved his hand and asked him to take the evidence.
Feng Jiuqing said to the outside of the hall: "Ah Zhong, come up!" ”
Then I saw Feng Jiuqing's personal guard Ah Zhong, walking up, carrying a person in his hand, and after walking in, he threw the person on the ground, like throwing a rag.
After Ah Zhong bowed to the emperor, he said: "Your Majesty, this person exchanged the evidence in the hands of Yu Linwei last night, and his subordinates and the prince were captured on the spot, and there were several people present at the time, this is the real evidence collected by the prince!" ”
As he spoke, he took out the evidence that had been exchanged from his cuff and handed it over. Bai Shizu and the others' faces turned pale, and their hearts trembled when they looked at the people on the ground who had been shaken into a sieve.
The emperor carefully looked at the evidence, and it was simply contrary to what had just been presented. This is also the confession of those stewards, which states how the Lu family embezzled the property of Mrs. Ning Guo, how much they swallowed, and even the accounts are clearly listed. There is also a list of the dowry of Mrs. Yuan back then, and it explains which dowries are missing now, and there are still royal gifts in it.
The second copy is also the origin of the black box, but it is not the person next to Bai Muhibiscus, and this wood is not purchased recently, but it was bought before the old Guogong died, and it is the same as the base material of the old Guogong's coffin, that is, these small boxes are made of the base material left by the old Guogong.
And the craftsman who built it, the people he saw were not Bai Mu Hibiscus or her girl, but the people around the old Duchess. The emperor's eyes became colder and colder, and he became more and more angry.
He looked at Bai Shizu and sneered: "Ning Guogong, it seems that I underestimated you in the past, in terms of wisdom and strategy, in terms of killing and decisiveness, you are not much worse than the old country's grandfather, such a plan can be thought of, you can be called the pillar of Tianyuan, you have been in the Ministry of Industry, wronged you!" ”
Bai Shizu was in a cold sweat, if the emperor didn't say this at this time, but at some other time, he would definitely be so excited that he couldn't even eat, but now he was so scared that he almost knelt down and begged for mercy!
But he knew that he couldn't do it, since that evidence had been taken out, he couldn't help but give the final killer move, because this matter could no longer be good, either Bai Mu Hibiscus died, or he died!
He glanced at Bai Hibiscus coldly, and said in his heart, you forced it, under Jiuquan, I saw your mother, but don't be aggrieved, how can anyone who is a child persecute his father like this? Trapping their loved ones? It's all your own fault, and you can't complain about being ruthless for your father!
Bai Shizu knelt down straight, and did not admit his mistake, but said resolutely: "Your Majesty, whether this matter is true or not, it can't be proved by dead things alone, the prince has taken out two kinds of evidence, if the minister is not wrong, this must be for the county lord to clear the suspicion, the contrast between the front and back is so big, can the emperor still believe it?" ”
The emperor laughed angrily and said, "You are really a good change, in your opinion, what can be used as evidence?" What should I believe? ”
"Believer, the minister can invite the steward who once took care of the dowry of his deceased wife and let him confront him in the court, and he can also invite someone to prove that the county lord did frame the daughter of the uncle's family, ruined her innocence, and ruined the marriage of others, and finally pushed the blame to the little girl Bai Yunxi!"
Bai Shizu didn't seem to be afraid that the emperor wouldn't believe him, but he was full of confidence in the witnesses he was going to present.
The emperor glanced at him coldly, which added another layer of sweat to Bai Shizu's forehead, but he was more worried about the head on his neck than he was a little scared.
The emperor said: "Do you mean that King Xuan is deceiving me and deliberately trying to frame you?" ”
Bai Shizu hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Weichen doesn't dare, it's just ...... His Royal Highness King Xuan seems to have a good relationship with the county lord, and the evidence he provided before and after is different, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public! ”
When Feng Jiuqing finished saying this, he suddenly grinned, revealing Sensen's white teeth, as if a male lion was teasing his prey, ready to pounce and tear Bai Shizu into bloody pieces of flesh at any time.
Bai Shizu trembled in fright, feeling that he really couldn't figure out the temper of this prince, he was obviously like a gentleman on weekdays, occasionally polite, with a dizzying smile on his face, but he seemed to be cunning to the point of frightening in his bones.
Feng Jiuqing returned to normalcy and said, "Brother Huang, since people don't believe the evidence collected by our Yu Linwei, and they don't believe the thief caught by this king himself, then let Grandpa Guo prove it himself!" ”
