"Second brother, second brother, how can you say that, you quickly kneel down and kowtow and say that it is not like this, this is not true! Second brother, you know what consequences you will suffer if you say this, second brother! When Qiao Yuncui heard Qiao Xiangmin confess his guilt, she was so frightened that she hurriedly told him to shut up, this is a capital crime.

It's just that Qiao Xiangmin has long been prepared to die if he can come to Beijing, Xiao Qing promised him that if he is willing to admit his guilt obediently, he will ensure the safety and glory of his family, although he doesn't want to die yet, but for the sake of his family to live a good life, he still agreed.

"This is what I owe to my eldest brother and eldest nephew, and now that I say it, I feel much better!" Qiao Xiangmin knelt on the ground and kowtowed, as if he was repenting: "My lord, the original matter, the grass people secretly hid a letter in their hands, just for fear that one day Qi Duwei and Jiao Pinliang would regret it, then I will be the back, now this letter is in the hands of the grass people, please take a look!" ”

When he corresponded with Jiao Pinliang's cousin, he kept an eye on it, and he left an important letter in Qi Duwei's reply, and he put the letter above his head and presented it.

The master beside Zhang Xian went down to take it, took the letter from Qiao Xiangmin's hand and handed it to Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian was quite shocked after reading it, and passed it to Xu Shaoli and several other officials.

After reading the letter, Zhang Xian shouted angrily: "I didn't expect you to do such a hurtful thing, you really deserve death!" ”

Qiao Xiangmin cried loudly: "The adults are angry, the grass people are guilty, and the grass people are guilty!" ”

"Second brother, second brother, why are you? Why confess your sin, why bring out that faith! Qiao Yuncui asked in pain.

She also participated in these things at the beginning, and she also knew the whole story, because her family's cake stall was in urgent need of silver, but she raised money everywhere, so she had to listen to Jiao Pinliang's words and coaxed Qiao Dajing together, and she got ten taels of silver afterwards.

If the second brother pleaded guilty, wouldn't she have to confess?

"My lord, now that the human and material evidence are gathered, can the case of my son Dajing and her late husband be retried?" Xiao Qing turned his head and glanced at He Jining lightly: "There are also people today who want to use some people in Yaoshan to frame me, please deal with it as a felony!" ”

Zhang Xian was silent when he saw He Jining's lifeless and blackened face, and saw the evidence in his hand and the kneeling person, the iron-clad facts, he was so angry that he wanted to drag people out on the spot and beat dozens of boards, he went down with a shock: "Come on, pull the prisoner Qiao Yuncui out and hit fifty boards first, to warn everyone, and then anyone who dares to slander others in front of this official, this official will not show mercy in his hands, hum!" ”

"Yes!" The officials responded, and the four of them set off to pull Qiao Yuncui.

After Qiao Yuncui was dragged out to play the board, the rest of the people were much quieter.

Zhang Xian hurried to try the case behind, saw the pleadings in his hand, and continued to ask: "Miss He, the mother-in-law you brought to sue Qiao Xiao is slanderous, so is it necessary to retry the following piece of paper?" The group of mothers-in-law you brought are all a rabble, and none of them are credible! ”

He Jining didn't seem to be shaken by Qiao Yuncui's beating, but instead knelt down and said, "My lord, the little girl is stupid, she was almost deceived by a woman, and I ask the adult to forgive her sins, the adult beat it well!" But my lord, the following incident is not to slander the Pingning County Wangfu family, everyone in Shangjing knows that the little girl sued the eldest princess for defiling the court, seducing the court officials, and privately forming a party for personal gain, in order to achieve an ulterior purpose! The human and material evidence are all there, please make a clear judgment! ”

The ones mentioned here are all big crimes, but these big sins are slightly insignificant on Zhao Liumei.

These things are even more spread in Beijing than this, and He Jining said this lightly.

But although there are a lot of rumors, most of them say that there is no real evidence, and everyone disperses when they talk about Lele.

Zhang Xian was quite surprised when he heard that there were witnesses and physical evidence: "What kind of witnesses, what kind of physical evidence?" ”

He Jining turned his head and glared at a mother-in-law behind him, who stepped forward and threw herself on the ground.

"My lord, this aunt is the nurse of the eldest princess, she married into the palace of Pingning County with the eldest princess, she has watched the eldest princess grow up since she was a child, and I believe that what she said is true!" He Jining said.

When Pinzhu saw Zhao Jingniang, the aunt next to Zhao Liumei, he wanted to go up angrily to stop him: "Aunt Zhao, will you harm the eldest princess?" ”

Zhao Liumei raised his hand to stop: "Let her say!" ”

"Eldest Princess!" Pinzhu said anxiously: "They are slandering you, you are ice and jade, they don't know the truth, and they talk nonsense about you!" ”

Zhao Liumei glared at Pin Zhu solemnly: "Let her say!" ”

Pin Zhu was angry, so he had to retreat angrily.

"Yes, my lord, the eldest princess had privately made a lifelong agreement with Mrs. He, and later saw Xiao Biheng King Xiaojun, and was with King Xiaojun, Mrs. He got married, and the eldest princess still didn't let him go, ostensibly to send gifts to Mrs. He, but in fact she secretly sent letters, at that time the eldest princess and King Xiaojun had already made a marriage, and the eldest princess let the slave maid not have to tell others, and the two often let the slave maid take the wind for the two when they met in private." When Zhao Jingniang said this, she pondered for a moment, and when she looked up again, she said: "My lord, there are some things that slaves and maids don't dare to say, and they have persuaded the eldest princess many times to no avail, but what the eldest princess has done is too contrary to human morality, and the women are afraid that it will hurt to say it on this occasion!" ”

What she just said, everyone has heard of it, but no one has seen it, it is not an uncommon thing, but if she has really done something unusual, it is a mess in the palace.

"Say!" Xu Shao was one step away from Zhang Xian.

He had long wanted to hear how the eldest princess and Taishi He had defiled the palace.

Other officials bowed their heads, and they also wanted to know.

Seeing the expressions of several people, Zhang Xian resolutely ordered: "Zhao Jingniang, go on!" ”

Zhao Jingniang received the order and continued: "My lord, since the eldest princess and the king of Xiaojun became married, the years when there was a little princess were also kept to themselves, until six or seven years ago, the eldest princess suddenly contacted Taishi He again for some reason, and the two spoke quite intimately, oh, I still have a letter between them here, and please take a look at it!" ”

"This is a letter from Mrs. He to the eldest princess, the eldest princess put it at the head of the bed, read it carefully every day, when reading the letter, sometimes the laughter is gloomy, sometimes the strange screams are made alone in the house, these are the people's own ears to hear!"

The master on the side took the letter in Zhao Jingniang's hand, and then presented it to Zhang Xian and other adults.

I saw that after Zhang Xian saw the letter, his face was full of frowns, and his expression was dirty: "What kind of letter is this, this is clearly foul language, it is simply insulting and immoral!" ”

As he spoke, he tossed the letter aside, glanced fiercely, and immediately turned his head.

After reading the letter, Xu Shaoli and the others all glanced at their mouths, their faces full of disgust, as if they were disgusted.
