Chapter 123: Key Witnesses
Everyone paid their respects to the emperor, and Yan Hongzhi told them to stand up and speak.
Then, he ordered Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion to send the case file.
There are two copies in Jingzhao Mansion:
One is the case of Aunt Wang's troubles and suicide on the street, including the case of the concubine's bag drop and the murder case of the substitute marriage.
The other is the case of Ying Caiyue gathering a crowd to make trouble and smashing a little Chunda Pharmacy, and was trampled on and lost her fetus.
And the Dali Temple side is the case about Ying Caiyue in the next day.
The two sides decided the case, Jingzhao Mansion left a record of the case, and the chief trial was handed over to Dali Temple.
Therefore, to settle the accusations of both sides, the emperor only had to look at the dossier of the merger of the two institutions.
The case of Wang's suicide can only play an auxiliary role in speculating on the causes and consequences of the latter case.
Dali Siqing gave a speech to the emperor and explained the facts of the case clearly.
When he finished speaking, he stepped aside and waited for the emperor to decide.
"Yan Xiang, are you still sticking to what you said before?" Yan Hongzhi had already listened to the rhetoric of both sides before, and he actually knew it in his heart.
Recently, he has been very disappointed with this eldest son.
Especially the matter of spoiling concubines and killing wives.
Although the Chang family is a courtier, even if the daughter is married and wronged in her husband's family, she does not dare to show her face to the emperor.
But in their hearts, there will still be the same wholehearted loyalty to the emperor as before, it's hard to say!
Yan Xiang didn't expect that the first person to be questioned was himself.
He stood up and said, "Father, Caiyue is just out of filial piety and wants to seek justice for her biological mother!" ”
"Since she was a child, she has been loved a lot by the Wang family, and it is normal to have this heart."
"She doesn't want these things to happen later!"
Yan Hongzhi looked at Yan Peiyu and asked, "Peiyu, what do you say?" ”
Calling the son, by the name of the name.
Calling the nephew, instead shouting the word.
It can be seen how partial this emperor is to Prince Kang's son!
So many years, it's always been like this.
It can be said that he is pampered and loving, Yan Peiyu couldn't have imagined that the one who almost killed himself by poisoning him was the imperial uncle who loved him and loved him!
He bowed his hand and said, "This matter is a grievance between the sisters, why don't you let the princess answer?" ”
It's not that he doesn't want to come forward.
Instead, stand on the position of Cailan to avenge grievances as the main hit.
Then, as a husband, out of the position of loving his wife, he came to complain.
It would be better to work together like this.
With Yan Xiang's stupid means, for the sake of a woman who doesn't know what to say, he broke away from his own princess.
Now that another person has carried all the reckless behavior, what can he do in the end?
Yan Hongzhi agreed: "Princess Shizi, you say." ”
Ying Cailan was looking at his toes with his eyes down, but when he heard his name, he stood up and said: "If you go back to the emperor, what the courtiers say doesn't count, but what the evidence and witnesses say!" ”
I didn't bring any personal emotions at all, and proposed the best solution.
Not to mention, even the eldest prince is not so calm and rational!
Of course, this look of being a bamboo in her chest makes her even more confident.
Yan Hongzhi glanced at her, turned his head to look at Dali Siqing, and said, "Jiang Qing, you say." ”
"Obey."
Jiang Liang saluted and said: "The rioters caught at the scene have already asked some questions. There is a confession that someone paid them to hire them to make trouble at a little Chunda Pharmacy! ”
Yan Xiang's breath was suffocated.
How can there be such a thing?
"Who is it?" Yan Hongzhi asked.
Jiang Liang replied: "It is said that it is a middle-aged man with a black mole on the corner of his mouth. ”
"When the minister was interrogating, it coincided with the summoning of the holy decree to the palace, so it could only be put on hold for the time being, and there was no time for the witnesses to identify."
"But!"
He made a turn and said: "Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion have been registered, and the passers-by, the adjacent shops, and the guys and patients in the pharmacy at the time have confessed to ......."
"Mrs. Caiyue of the Great Prince's Mansion led people to a little spring pharmacy and had a dispute with the princess."
"The troublemakers were overly excited and smashed the pharmacy."
"And Mrs. Caiyue accidentally got involved in the crowd, was trampled on, beaten, and was seriously injured and slipped the tire!"
In other words, Ying Caiyue is to blame - she went to do things by herself, and as a result, she did it herself!
As soon as these words came out, Yan Xiang's face darkened.
Yan Hongzhi was silent.
No one expected that that person, Zhao Cheng, would take the initiative to stand up at such a time and said: "The minister is brave, and I implore the emperor to allow the minister to report!" ”
He said that he was big, and he was a Beijing official from the third grade.
To say that it is small, only those who are four grades and above in the Liang Dynasty can go to court.
A Jing Zhaoyin, almost everyone who sees someone in this temple has to nod his head.
Usually, his style of doing things has always been to hide and hide, and to steer when the wind blows.
Today's courage is entirely because of Ying Cailan!
The woman looked sweet, but in fact she was too cruel.
So many things are wrapped around him, where can he still get out?
Simply, take this opportunity to gamble and tie yourself up with her.
If you win, you can ride the wind!
"Yes." Yan Hongzhi naturally has no reason not to speak.
I saw Zhao Cheng say: "A few days ago, a little spring pharmacy had not yet opened, and some fanatics broke in and smashed it. ”
"The princess suffered losses, and the complaint was brought to Jingzhao Mansion, and the minister also captured several of them according to the accounts of eyewitnesses."
"After some questioning, I learned that they also accepted other people's silver, and purposefully damaged the property of the princess!"
"Chen Zheng wanted to open a court to try this case, but he didn't want to, but a middle-aged man with a black mole on the corner of his mouth came to Jing Zhaoyin."
"The other party claimed that the prince was watching this matter from above, and asked the minister to judge the case casually."
"The minister didn't dare to mess with justice, so he specially asked the princess what she meant."
"The princess knows the roots, saying that her arms can't twist her thighs, so she can only temporarily suppress the case."
"As a result, the case is still an open case for the time being."
"The minister has already brought the case file, which can be sent to the emperor for inspection!"
His rhetoric coincides with what Jiang Liang said:
A middle-aged man with a mole at the corner of his mouth!
"Who's that?" Yan Hongzhi asked.
Ying Cailan replied: "Emperor Qiqi, if the courtiers are not wrong, then they have been following Mrs. Caiyue...... The mother-in-law's friend! Of course, his person is not a member of the Ying family, but a domestic slave of the Great Prince's Mansion! ”
The reason why the word "good" is used is naturally to steal chickens and dogs together.
There is no name and no points, and it cannot be said that it is husband and wife.
Yan Hongzhi concluded: "So, that middle-aged man is from the Great Prince's Mansion and helps Ying Caiyue do things; And the case of smashing the pharmacy was pressed down, which is also the meaning of the eldest prince? ”
His eyes swept to Yan Xiang's side, and the pressure was also on him!
Not only did he break out in a cold sweat on his back, but he hurriedly said: "Caiyue has always been very good to the minions below, think about it, it is those minions who make their own decisions and fight for the master, so they will do such a thing?" ”
In the imperial study, there was silence, and the sound of everyone's breathing was obvious.
Suddenly, a sneer!
Everyone looked at the laughing man.
