Chapter 298: Witness Zhu Changrong
The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Duke Ning dares to despise the prince, I will write down this crime for you first, and when the court trial is over, you will go and get thirty court rods!" ”
Bai Shizu looked at the emperor with his mouth open, why did he have to be punished by the court staff before he did anything? Thirty strokes, that's not a good feeling, especially someone like him who has been raised for decades.
This is still secondary, since ancient times, he can't punish a doctor, but the emperor wants to beat him, which makes him unbearable. Where can Ning Guogong's face be placed in the future?
He wanted to say something to make up for it, but he heard Feng Jiuqing say idly: "Ning Guogong, I haven't faced the saint for a long time, and I have forgotten this little rule?" Don't thank you yet! ”
Bai Shizu hated Feng Jiuqing in his heart, but he didn't dare not kneel, lowered his head, and thanked the emperor: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”
The emperor ignored him, but Feng Jiuqing spoke first: "Didn't Grandpa Guo just want to give evidence?" It doesn't matter if you don't see anything, since you are a slave of your Bai family, you can listen to what you say! ”
"Does the prince think that the minister is looking for someone to make a false confession?" Bai Shizu can hold back the fire in his belly.
Feng Jiuqing raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's not that I thought it, it's for sure!" ”
Bai Shizu really hated itchy, but he couldn't afford to offend the person who spoke, so he could only swallow his anger and say to the emperor: "Please ask the emperor to be the master of the ministers!" ”
The emperor waved his hand and said, "How can a slave be qualified to face the saint?" Besides, what King Xuan said makes sense, after all, he is a slave of your family, can he still go against the will of his master? ”
Bai Shizu was blocked, his face was flushed, but this was not the focus of his struggle, so it was inconvenient for him to entangle with the emperor, so he had to take a step back and said: "Since the emperor is unwilling to see the manager, then please ask the emperor to allow the minister to invite a key witness to the court, he will let the emperor understand the truth of the matter!" ”
The emperor glanced at Feng Jiuqing, then at Bai Mujian, and found that both of them were silent, so he nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
A hint of joy flashed in Bai Shizu's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Please allow the emperor to allow the son of Lord Zhu, the commander of the Nine Gates, Zhu Changrong to come to the court!" ”
The emperor was a little surprised, he naturally knew that Zhu Changrong had made a lot of trouble recently, which was no different from his usual domineering style, it was nothing more than that the people who were bullied this time were too big, but the two families did not pursue it, which was what surprised him.
He glanced at Bai Shizu, according to common sense, Bai Shizu should hate Zhu Changrong so much, why did he ask Zhu Changrong to speak for him at this time?
But since he opened his mouth, there was no reason to take it back, and with a wave of his hand, he let people announce that Zhu Changrong was in court.
After Zhu Changrong came in, he first glanced at Bai Yunxi, and saw that Bai Yunxi seemed to lower his head a little shyly, and a trace of joy flashed in Zhu Changrong's eyes.
After he saluted the emperor according to the rules, he knelt there quietly, in fact, he was afraid of the emperor, so he rarely took the initiative to face the saint, and he usually had to do it as a last resort.
The emperor didn't ask about the Bai family first, but instead greeted Zhu Changrong and asked, "Changrong, I haven't seen you for a few days, have you grown up recently?" ”
Zhu Changrong smiled awkwardly before he apologized: "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister doesn't dare anymore!" ”
"Hmph, you are also a big boss, a few days ago you set a family affair, your sister has been happy for a long time, I am still ready to give you some rewards, I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, you are retreating from your relatives and asking for relatives in the mansion of the country, but it is very lively!" The emperor's tone couldn't tell if it was a joke or serious.
Zhu Changrong really wanted to bury himself underground, after going back this time, his father would definitely lock him up for a few months, but in the face of the emperor's question, he also had to answer, kowtowed again, and said: "These are all things for a reason, and the reasons are long, when the emperor is free, the minister will be careful to understand!" ”
The emperor shook his head, sneered, and said: "You, you should also go through the experience, the Zhu family will spoil you to be lawless, after this incident, you will go to the city defense camp to find an errand!" ”
Zhu Changrong was not as uncomfortable as the emperor expected, but thanked him generously, as if he was quite happy. The emperor was a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart, thinking that Zhu Changrong had finally gained some brains.
Feng Jiuqing coughed lightly and reminded: "Brother Huang, it seems that Zhu Gongzi is here to be a witness for Ning Guogong!" ”
Bai Shizu was in a hurry and didn't know how to lead the topic to this, seeing that the emperor seemed to want to have a family relationship with Zhu Changrong, he couldn't rest for a while, but he didn't expect King Xuan to be willing to help this time.
The emperor also seemed to have just remembered this stubble, and he also cleared his throat and asked, "Chang Rong, did you come to confirm the guilt of the county lord of Anping?" ”
Bai Shizu was stunned for a moment, the emperor's question was too clueless, according to his plan, he should be good at it, and peel off the "truth" of the matter little by little, so that it is not so abrupt, this is to condemn his daughter, so straightforward, what do people think of him, the grandfather of the country?
But the emperor is not him, and he will not consider his feelings, he has lost patience with Bai Shizu's family, and just wants to quickly break things up so that he can go back to the palace to rest, and he is also very tired to be the emperor.
Zhu Changrong was also a little dazed, glanced at the white hibiscus kneeling in the upper left corner of him, and felt a little reluctant to go, to be honest, he didn't have any bad feelings towards the white hibiscus, the first time they met was in the Guogong Mansion, but they were amazed by her appearance, but it was a pity that the beauty was too indifferent and lost her original charm.
But this time he had to do something against his conscience, so he hardened his heart and said, "Actually, this matter ...... It's really a long story, and the causes and consequences are also very tortuous, and it's all because the minister was confused for a while and made a big mistake! ”
"Why does this still have something to do with you?" Although the emperor said what he said to Zhu Changrong, he looked at Bai Shizu.
Zhu Changrong hurriedly explained: "The matter also started because of the minister, that day was Lu Xiang's birthday, the minister and his father went to celebrate his birthday together, and his father left first on official business, and the minister stayed in the Lu family." Afterward...... Later, someone led the minister to a courtyard in the backyard of the Lu family, and soon after...... The county lord of Anping came, and she ...... She asked the minister to talk to the second lady of the Lu family, Lu Jiaojiao, in private, and later the matter was bumped into by the second lady of the Lu family, and then the minister had to marry the second miss of the Lu family! ”
Zhu Changrong said it very tactfully, and he was also a little ashamed, but this added credibility, after all, it was justified to do such an ugly thing, and it was a little too much to say.
"Then why are you quitting again?" The emperor snorted coldly, since he ruined the reputation of other girls, no matter what he wanted, he should be responsible.
Zhu Changrong looked bitter and said: "It's no wonder that the minister is in this matter, the minister originally planned to wait for Miss Lu Er and Lu to officially marry her, but not long ago, the county lord of Anping sent someone to send a message to the minister, saying that Miss Lu Er had already had an affair with someone before she was with the minister, and she also showed the evidence to the minister, so ...... That's why the minister had to quit his family! ”
The Lu family and Bai Yunxi were overjoyed when they heard this, and sure enough, as soon as Zhu Changrong's words came out, the anger on the emperor's face became more and more intense.
However, the emperor is the emperor in the end, and his ability to control his emotions is very human, so he took a deep breath and then asked: "Since you have withdrawn from your family, why don't you feel uneasy, and what are you going to Ningguo Mansion to make trouble?" ”
Zhu Changrong was ruthless, and then said: "This is also the idea of the county lord of Anping, because she is afraid that Ning Guogong will find out that she is operating all this from behind, so let the minister pretend to have a deep love for Miss Bai Er, so that everyone thinks that it is Miss Bai Er who framed Miss Lu Er, not the county lord!" ”
Bai Yunxi immediately sobbed and said sadly: "Sister...... You're my own sister, what's the matter...... How can you do this to me and my cousin? ”
Zhu Changrong hurriedly waved at Bai Yunxi and said, "Miss Bai Er, in the next moment, she was confused and almost made a big mistake, and I hope that Miss Bai Er can forgive me regardless of her previous suspicions!" ”
Bai Yunxi waved his hand, bit his lower lip, and sighed for a while and said: "That's it, no wonder Young Master Zhu, you are also being deceived, if you want to blame me, you can only blame me for my miserable life, and I actually made my sister want to get rid of me quickly!" ”
What a generous, tolerant, and kind girl! Bai Yunxi's attitude that even if everyone in the world loses me, I accept it calmly is really realistic.
Zhu Changrong was also very cooperative, and said movingly: "Miss Bai Er is really a kind and generous woman, and she can't stand you!" ”
The two sang and harmonized, but they complemented each other perfectly, as if they had rehearsed countless times, but the person they most wanted to provoke was indifferent, and knelt there calmly, as if they could not hear.
Feng Jiuqing glanced at Zhu Changrong, there was coldness in his eyes, but he shook his head and smiled: "Young Master Zhu, tsk...... Today's play is not as good as three days ago, do you want to do it again? ”
Zhu Changrong lowered his head and muttered, "I don't know what the prince means!" ”
The emperor asked in a deep voice: "Zhu Changrong, in front of me, if there is the slightest deception, even if your sister cries dry tears, she will not be able to spare you this time!" ”
Zhu Changrong didn't dare to say anything more, only lowered his head and said, "The minister doesn't dare!" ”
Feng Jiuqing opened his mouth and asked, "When did you meet the county lord?" In what place? Has anyone testified? ”
"Minister...... The minister met the county lord at the banquet in the Huwei General's Mansion, and he was ...... At that time, except for the county lord's maid, no one else was present! Zhu Changrong replied.
Feng Jiuqing nodded and said, "The banquet of General Huwei's mansion, huh...... What did the county lord say to you at that time? ”
"I didn't say anything special, I just showed favor to the minister, and I heard that it meant to make friends with the minister!" Zhu Changrong didn't dare to say anything excessive.
Feng Jiuqing's fingers couldn't help but bounce up, and asked again: "What dishes did you eat, what wine did you drink, what color of clothes did the county lord wear, and what headdress did you wear?" ”
Zhu Changrong thought about it carefully for a while before he said: "There are many dishes to eat, but the minister's favorite is steamed sea bass and golden jade tofu, and the wine he drinks is bamboo leaf green, and the county lord should have worn a cyan costume that day, and two pearl-inlaid flowers on his head!" ”
