Chapter 68: Marigold, Blessing
Have you heard of the witness evidence, what is the witness cat?
Zhao Guanjia looked stunned.
Fu Jiuqu smiled calmly: "Official, although the water ghost case in Zhangjiacun was investigated and handled by Kaifeng Mansion, because of the prophecy of Pengxing's appearance, Weichen did not dare to slack off, and has been investigating in secret. After Xiao Zhang's fall into the water and survived, he was always under the surveillance of the Imperial City Sichazi......"
Zhao Guan's family probably knew his intention, and snorted: "You came to exonerate Little Lady Zhang?" β
"Official's Mingjian! Xiao Zhang's family has been plotted against many times, and she told Weichen early in the morning that someone wanted to frame her. The strychnine tree is poisonous, Cui You is very likely to be the murderer of Zhangjia Village, and the small piece of paper was reported to Weichen in advance, and he did not hide it, but Weichen noticed the complexity of the case, so she was not allowed to make a noise, and she wanted to put a long line to catch a big fish, so she cooperated......"
Zhao Guanjia was laughed at by him.
During the day, Zhang Yao Zhuocai brought evidence, saying that Zhang Xiaoniang did not report it if she knew about it, and it was a great crime, and Fu Jiuqu said that it was their plan at night.
"I know that you value love and righteousness, and you are bent on excusing Zhang Xiaoniang, but this matter is certain, and she can't get rid of it. I can't ignore the evidence of Kaifeng Mansion because of your words alone, and be a faint monarch who listens to and believes partially, right? β
Fu Jiuqu lifted the marigold.
"The official family, Weichen also has evidence."
"Oh? This cat? Zhao Zhen is still laughing, just like treating an ignorant child.
Fu Jiuqu said: "Xiao Zhang's family kept Weichen's cat at home, reported to the official in front of the whole village that the cat was stolen, and then notified Weichen to go, creating the false impression that Weichen and her turned their faces in public, and led the murderer to take the bait, which can be ......proved by the people of Zhangjia Village."
He half-truthed about his plan and Xin Yi's plan.
However, when Zhao Guanjia heard this, his face did not change, rubbing his temples, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
"Heavy building."
He pondered for a moment and pointed to the notebook on his desk.
"Come and see."
Fu Jiuqu: "Official, this is not in accordance with the rules. β
Zhao Guanjia glared at him, "I will watch you if you want to see it." β
"Yes." Fu Jiuqu stepped forward to open the notebook, his face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Zhao Guanjia stared at him, and his voice was lowered a little, "You are my nephew, the only nephew." I won't hurt you...... Don't get involved in this matter anymore, so as not to attract criticism from the courtiers, and then join you in acting perversely, which will make me embarrassed......"
The unfinished meaning of Zhao Guan's words, Fu Jiuqu understood.
"Do the officials think that if Weichen doesn't do anything, they can stop?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Your silence is the best response." Nowadays, there are many parties in the DPRK and China, and it is inevitable that there will be-for-tat confrontations. At this time, once there is any more chaos, it will shake the foundation of the country. β
Fu Jiuqu was silent for a moment and looked up at Zhao Zhen.
"Uncle, balancing power and stabilizing the dynasty is of course the foundation of governing the country, but if you continue to allow them to form gangs and factions to dominate the government, it will inevitably encourage unhealthy tendencies, making Xiaoxiao kick her nose more and more in the face, while Qingliu in the DPRK is afraid of attack and dare not speak up again. In my opinion, it is better to only give grace and not to degrade power, and it is better to give both grace and power, and the two-pronged ......"
"Let's go down." Zhao Guanjia waved his hand to stop him from continuing, "I'm tired, it's all shit all day long, which makes me unhappy, those old guys still point at my nose and scold me every day, you let me clean up for a while!" β
Fu Jiuqu glanced at the emperor and silently took out a blue-green porcelain bottle from his arms.
"This is the elixir brought back by a guest from Jingxiang by a guest of Weichen, and the official family ordered someone to grind the pill into powder and mix it with water, and apply it to the sun, Yintang, Fengchi, and Tianzhu acupuncture points, which can relieve pain and awaken the mind, remove plague and relieve evil. Wechen has tried it and it is extremely effective. β
Zhao Zhen took it and took a look, the smile on his face regained his face, seeing that he was a little more loving, and his voice was extremely gentle.
"Good boy, you are still filial. Go ahead, listen to your uncle, and don't get involved. β
Fu Jiuqu didn't speak again, bowed his hand, looked up at the tired emperor on the throne again, and turned to leave with the golden gold.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The dark night shrouded the snowy Bianjing City.
In the midwinter wax moon that is about to usher in the New Year's Festival, Xin Yi waited in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion for several days, and finally got the first news after the emperor's "three-day limit".
"Zhang Niangzi didn't report it if she knew about it, and she should have been guilty of the same crime as the murderer, but the official family remembered that your deceased husband Zhang patrolled the country's meritorious service, so she was given a light hair, sixty rods, twelve hip canes, and gathered a crowd to execute."
Even if you beat her, you have to gather a crowd to execute it, so that people can watch her being beaten?
It's cruel.
There is no day or night in the prison, there is no starlight, and the whole world sleeps except wailing. When he got the news, Xin Yi was still panicked and couldn't sleep. Soon, she calmed down.
In this world that is not entirely real to her, she often unconsciously looks down on the fate of the people in the play - not from above, only compassion and helplessness.
Their life, death, sorrow, and joy are all a game, a setting. In the trajectory of fate, whether it is a crisis or death, it is all an illusion and a virtual product. But she is different, she should not have appeared in the game world, she should not have been in the company of NPCs, and she should not have been involved in the grievances and hatreds of this world.
So, is this a well-deserved punishment?
In the cold prison, Xin Yi thought a lot.
Perhaps, it was her efforts that were wrong.
The more you do, the more you get wrong.
If she doesn't do anything, maybe the fate of the people in the play will return to the established track.
Then she'll be able to get out of the way.
In this case, it is the best choice to put it on the rotten and lie flat.
If you can't survive the fifty spine cane and the twelve-hip cane, then leave it to fate.
When Xin Yi was thinking about life in prison, it was already snowing outside the prison. On the endless streets, the fire was not extinguished all night, and the people of Bianjing City were discussing her affairs, arguing endlessly about which punishment she should apply to the flogging, rod, imprisonment, exile, and death, while doing New Year's goods, beating children, and waiting for the arrival of the New Year......
Three days in the capital and three years in prison.
Turning over the old imperial calendar, the day has reached the seventeenth day of the lunar month of the third year of the emperor's reign.
On this day, Jupiter conjunct the Moon, the Moon Evil, the White Tiger, the main calamity.
As the first woman in history to pass through the prison, Xin Yi waited a little impatiently in the prison to die, and the prison door that had been locked for many days finally opened.
"Mrs. Zhang, come out."
A group of officials stood in front of the prison door, led by Zeng Qinda and a head catcher named Guan Chang.
Zeng Qinda had a smile on his face, like an old friend who had not seen him for many days, and his words were warm and practical, "Zhang Niangzi is really a blessed person, the king of Guangling County and Commander Cao have run for you in many ways, and even the queen mother has come forward to intercede for you, and the official edict and the punishment system must be based on leniency, so as to avoid death." β
According to the provisions of the "Song Criminal Code", those who know are guilty of the same crime as the murderer, and there is no doubt that Xinyi will be sentenced to death.
At first, Zhang Yaozhuo wanted her to die.
But in the place where Xin Yi couldn't see, the cat named Marigold and Queen Cao, who had repeatedly persuaded the official family, still made the Zhao official family change their minds.
Fifty rods and twelve rods were the lightest of the rods.
Zeng Qinda thought she should be content.
Xin Yi felt that this was the greatest fear and shame in his life.
"Master Zeng, this blessing is given to you, do you want it?"
There are a total of sixty-two canes, what is the difference between smashing the back and fart, and Ling Chi? It's not as refreshing as killing with a knife.
What about the blessings?
Fu Ta Uncle!
Zeng Qinda snorted, "Mrs. Zhang, don't know what to do." In other words, let alone beheading, there are also executions in Ling Chi. β
Xin Yi looked at Zeng Qinda's expression and smelled the blood and cruelty from the Great Song Dynasty for the first time. She understood that under the iron and blood of the emperors and nobles, the common people had no possibility of struggling, even at the cost of their lives......
"Why don't you thank the emperor?"
"Yes......"
Xin Yi responded slowly, dragging his shackles and shackles, and letting the two servants put shackles on him......
The moment he walked out of the prison, Xin Yi craned his neck and squinted at the sky.
Only then did I find that the snow had long since stopped, the snow had not melted, the sun was dazzling, and the golden sun sprinkled a halo from the cornices and arches and the blue bricks and tiles, and the world was as beautiful as ever.
Before the rod is broken, it is to be paraded through the streets.
Xin Yi stood on the prisoner car, looking at the restaurants and restaurants along the way, the foot shops and tea houses, the rows of shops and floors, and the people who were all over the street to see the lively and smiling people, his mood was very complicated.
I think she is a high-dimensional creature, and she is actually planted in the hands of the paper man she participated in the planning.
No reason!
When she goes back, she must arrest the main planner and complain fiercely for three days and three nights. Then find the character cards and poke these guys to death one by one......
"Kui Xing is pretentious, there is no glory and harmony in it, if you see blood, the Lord will be tortured."
"Break-break-yah-"
"The year is tortured, and the official is ...... in fear"
On the street, an old man wearing a scarf, shabby clothes, and long eyebrows, holding a flag of "blind fortune telling", as if he could not see the oncoming prisoner carts and officials, nor could he hear people's discussions.
He was blind.
The official sent him to chase him.
"Fortune teller, get out of the way, don't get in the way!"
The blind man didn't know if he heard it, and turned his head with a heavy face, his empty eyes looking in the direction of the royal street, and his voice suddenly became high.
"The congenital Xun is southeast, and the day after tomorrow is due west. Hindering the way, I am afraid that disaster will comeβ"
"Damn, this blind man is dying? If you don't get out of here, you will be punished by a lie. β
The official sent a prisoner car to come slowly, and the blind man was still pretending to be crazy and stupid, and with a bang, he pulled out his waist knife to scare him.
Unexpectedly, the blind man did not dodge or dodge, and slammed straight into the blade of his sword......
