Chapter 509: I am the most noble princess of the Chu Kingdom

Didn't she do it all herself?

The people closest to her are not facing her, but she is really a failure.

Chen Jingyan and Chen Qixuan quickly found out that there were twenty-eight palace maids who were persecuted to death by Princess Jingqing.

Chen Yue was furious and immediately sent Princess Qinqing to prison, waiting until Chen's envoys left.

Mo Yan and the others didn't delay any longer, and the monarch was afraid that he would be impatient to wait.

They said goodbye and went back.

Gu Ting'an also brought Wan'er back with him.

Gu Ting'an's matter, Xiao Haitang has already told Chen Dashan and Chen Qixuan.

Chen Qixuan also secretly mentioned the Huo family to Chen Yue.

Chen Yue was obviously reluctant to talk more about this matter, and had the intention of avoiding it.

Qi Xuan told Xiao Haitang about his reaction.

Xiao Haitang knew that the Huo family's affairs really had a rhetoric.

It's just that her grandfather has no intention of rehabilitating the Huo family, and he still has a lot of evasions, which shows that she knows about the Huo family's wrongdoing.

Sure enough, what Dr. He said is right, the people who wronged you know how wronged you are better than you.

Could it be that the Huo family was on Xiangguo's side back then, and grandpa deliberately framed Xiangguo in order to bring down Xiangguo?

Xiao Haitang shuddered for a moment, her grandfather was so good to her that she almost forgot that he was a monarch who wanted means and means, and was ruthless.

If he is really a soft-hearted person, it is impossible to turn things around.

Although he was a good king, he certainly had a lot of human blood on his hands.

Perhaps, the Huo family is one of them.

However, she doesn't blame grandpa.

If he doesn't hold the power himself, how can he have the right to speak?

How can the people of Chu live a peaceful life for the country and the people?

Of course, it is not realistic to want him to rehabilitate the Huo family.

Let's wait until the prayer proclamation takes power.

She also went to see Mo Yan off them.

Gu Ting'an gave Wan'er's silver to her and said, "This is the gift she gave you to make amends." ”

Xiao Haitang raised her eyebrows, looked at the carriage, and asked, "Does she really know that she is wrong?" ”

Gu Ting'an laughed and said, "Although I know that you won't bother with her, she is uneasy. ”

Xiao Haitang said: "Since this is the case, then I will reluctantly accept it, so as not to make her feel uneasy." ”

Gu Ting'an couldn't help laughing, obviously she wanted it herself, and she said that she had to do it.

He reached out to touch her head, but he was afraid that his hair would be messed up, so he simply withdrew his hand.

As soon as the envoy left, Chen Yue began to deal with the matter of Princess Qinqing.

He discussed with Chen Dashan and Chen Qixuan what to do?

What he thinks is that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized.

However, Chen Dashan and Chen Qixuan firmly believed that in order to rectify this unhealthy trend, there should be the determination of a strong man to break his wrist.

Although the state of Chu explicitly forbade the killing of slaves at will, this phenomenon was repeatedly prohibited.

The power to kill is not in the hands of individuals, but should be firmly in the hands of the imperial court.

Now if you want to completely stifle this unhealthy trend, start with Princess Qinqing.

So, they made a bold decision to judge Princess Qinqing in public, so that everyone knew that the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people.

As soon as the notice came out, it was posted all over the country.

Chu was the first to boil, and all the people talked about this matter before and after tea.

The king judged the princess, and no one had ever experienced such a thing, which was the first time in the world.

They had all heard that the prince had committed the same crime as the common people, but they had never seen a prince who had been beheaded for a crime.

Unless it is a rebellion, like the kind that hurts people's lives, in the end it will be over.

So, everyone is speculating about what will happen this time?

Some people say that the king is different from the previous king, and nine times out of ten he will kill the princess.

The people who echoed it felt reasonable, otherwise why would they make such a big fuss?

Some people say that tigers are poisonous and do not eat children.

Some people also say that the whole world belongs to their Chen family, isn't it normal to kill a few palace maids?

There is everything that has been said, and everyone is closely watching it.

On the day of the trial of Princess Qinqing, there were thousands of empty alleys in the city of Chudu, and there were many people who came from other places, all of whom watched together.

Chen Yue also called the magnates in the city to come over to watch.

He did not go to the trial in person, but asked the very famous doctor Sanlu of the Chu State to preside over the case.

The new decree of the state of Chu was drafted by Dr. Sanlu, and he also proposed that slaves should not be tortured and killed, because he himself was sold as a small servant when he was a child, so he knew the suffering of the people at the bottom.

It was most fitting that the case should be handed over to him for trial.

When the hour came, Princess Qinqing was escorted up, and all the sufferers came forward to complain with their mouths.

Some of the palace maids who were killed had family members, and the people in their families lost contact with each other in the palace, and they did not see anyone alive or dead. They also had no way to ask for help, and they all cried when they saw the names of their children in the list of victims.

The yamen asked them to come to the court before the public hearing.

For other victims, they could not find the sufferer, and if they could not find the sufferer, the yamen would file a public prosecution.

Most of the bitter lords are low-level people, only Su Susu, the daughter of Prime Minister Su Cheng, is the daughter of an official eunuch, but before that, she was also a person who sold herself to bury her mother.

Of all the victims, she was the only one who survived.

Princess Jingqing saw that these people had come to complain, and her eyes were full of contempt.

She thinks that the reason why her father wants to judge her in public is just to give an explanation to the common people and to gain a good reputation.

She didn't think that her father would kill her, and she didn't know which unlucky ghost would become her substitute.

Therefore, in the face of everyone's accusations, she did not panic at all.

The human and material evidence against Princess Qinqing were all there, and her charge of indiscriminate murder of innocents was quickly decided.

According to the laws of their Chu state, they should be beheaded for public display to set an example.

The documents for the trial were quickly written, and Dr. Samlu immediately announced the result on the spot.

Decisive decision?

Princess Qinqing was a little panicked, should she be killed now?

Doctor Sanlu asked the executioner to escort Princess Qinqing to the stage to verify her identity, and prepared to kill her at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Princess Jingqing never expected them to come for real.

She hurriedly shouted: "I am the most noble princess of Chu State, which of you dares to kill me?"

The whole world is not the king's land, the whole world is not the king's ministers, you are all the subjects of our Chen family, dare to kill me, are you not afraid of God's punishment? ”

Doctor Sanlu snorted coldly and said, "Princess, you have done a lot of evil and don't take human life seriously, but you don't know that this is not your retribution?" ”

Princess Qinqing was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't have so much confidence, and said, "If you dare to be disrespectful to me, I will let my father kill you all." ”

Doctor Sanlu waved his hand, and the executioner escorted the person to the place where the head was cut off with an expressionless face.

At this point, Princess Qinqing panicked and hurriedly said, "I want to see my father, I want to see my father." ”

No one paid attention to her.
