Chapter 435: Suing the Master as a Slave
It is impossible for Lu Bing to bully the king in front of him in order to cover Yan Shifan, not to mention that this matter is not a big deal. Nod your head and tell the truth.
At that time, Shen Lian had some ties with the Yan Mansion because of the sorghum case. It just so happened that Yu Dayou wanted to go to Yan Mansion and had no way, so he wanted me to introduce him.
I took Shen Lian with me by the way, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted Shen Lian and Yan Fu to ease the relationship.
It's just that Shen Lian has an arrogant personality, and there are indeed scenes of toasting and not drinking. As for what happened to the girl who toasted later, the minister really doesn't know.
Long live If you want to know the truth of what is going on, it just so happens that Zhang Changgong is here.
Baihualou is an industry managed by the East Factory, whether you have ever bought such a beautiful crippled girl, you may have an impression. β
Jiajing didn't ask about it first, but looked at Lu Bing: "Since you brought it, Golden Tiger Bone Wine, don't tell me that you didn't see it." β
Lu Bing's tone was flat and he didn't care: "I heard Yu Dayou say about this, he borrowed money from Hu Zongxian. Hu Zongxian was born in a big family in Anhui, and his family property is quite rich, and he has always been very generous. β
Jiajing snorted and turned his head to look at Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Yuan, do you have any impression of what Lu Bing said just now?" β
Zhang Yuan looked at Yan Song and then at Jiajing, revealing a smile that was even uglier than crying.
"Long live, although Baihualou is under the jurisdiction of Dongchang, there are many slaves, and they really rarely care about these details, and they are all handed over to Huanu to take care of.
Later, Lord Xiao cracked the Baihualou murder case, and the slave learned that the slut of the flower slave was mad and did many vicious things. The minions really don't know about this. β
Xiao Feng nodded: "This is also easy to do, when the flower slave was tried, in order to prove that her girls had a deed of sale, she handed over her own accounts to Shuntianfu for verification, and looked back to see if there was this transaction on the account." β
Jiajing nodded, in fact, whether it was a golden tiger bone or a disabled maid, Jiajing didn't care about these little things.
But the details that Rouge Leopard said were all related to the authenticity of her other testimonies, so Jiajing made an exception to ask a question.
Looking at Yan Shifan's expression and Lu Bing's verification, he knew that what Rouge Leopard said was true, and naturally Rouge Leopard said that it was also true that he had seen Yu Dayou here.
Lu Bingwei groaned and looked at the rouge leopard: "Except for this time, have you never seen Yu Dayou again?" β
The rouge leopard shook his head firmly: "I haven't seen it again." β
Lu Bingdao: "After you just said that after seeing this side, you feel that things are wrong, and you are disappointed in Yu Dayou, but why?" β
Rouge Leopard pouted: "Yu Dayou, who I liked back then, is a heroic man in the rivers and lakes, with a world-famous reputation and chivalrous spirit, who in the rivers and lakes is not in awe?"
But Yu Dayou, whom I saw that day, whispered in front of his master, cautious, how could he have a little manhood? How can I not be disappointed? β
Jiajing's face was even more ugly. Although he knew that the military attachΓ©s of the Ming Dynasty had always been one level lower than the civilian officials, Yu Dayou had great military achievements, but he was so groveling in front of Yan Shifan, which also shows that Yan Shifan used his father's first auxiliary authority to pretend to be a tiger and gain power and money!
At the same time, Jiajing also felt a sense of pride: Look, it has to be me, I have long known that one family is not the only one, so I support the division of power between the junior and the Yan family, I am really the hero!
After all, Lu Bing was the presiding judge of this case, and seeing that Xiao Feng and Yan Shifan were silent for a while, he had to continue to interrogate.
"Since you said that you didn't betray your master because of Yu Dayou, then when you saw Xiao Feng in the Tatar camp, what was your identity, and how did Yan Shaoqing explain to you?"
As soon as he asked this, Yan Shifan's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at the rouge leopard in horror.
Yan Shifan's fear is easy to understand. The Rouge Sisters all knew about his collusion with the White Lotus Sect and the Tatars, and if the Rouge Leopard revealed it all at this time, wouldn't he be finished?
Seeing Yan Shifan's expression at this time, Rouge Leopard really felt that he was thinking so. Since he's so scared, then I should say it!
But at the critical moment, Xiao Feng coughed weakly, and the rouge leopard immediately stopped his thoughts. In any case, you have to act according to Xiao Feng's words, and you can't ruin the plan!
"Lord Lu, the master said that he secretly had some business dealings with the Tatars, so I asked me to take the opportunity to check on the situation of the Tatars and come back and tell him the news.
So I went to the Tatar camp in the name of my black market business partners, and they were quite polite to me, and I met Master Xiao just as he was captured. β
Yan Shifan's frightened expression was like acting, and magically disappeared all at once.
He looked at the rouge leopard in disbelief, and the rouge leopard actually saw great shock and disappointment in his eyes!
He was disappointed! What is he disappointed about? Disappointed that I didn't expose his collusion with the White Lotus Sect? Disappointing that I did not expose his collusion with the Tatars? How is this possible?
Rouge Leopard's eyes suddenly lit up, and she understood! Yan Shifan was silent just now, and letting Lu Bing start to take over the questioning was a clever trick to win in defeat!
This is the reason why Xiao Feng repeatedly told him, if he came to Jiajing, he would only talk about this time.
If the White Lotus Sect and the Tatars are involved, according to the black market trading statement, don't say too much, otherwise it will backfire!
There are two reasons here, the first is that the Ming Dynasty is extremely taboo to sue the master with a slave, even if it is a major crime of rebellion, sue the master with a slave, and after the master subdues the law, the slave will be killed!
This strange regulation is not unique to the Ming Dynasty, but runs through almost the entire feudal society. However, the severity of the execution varies from dynasty to dynasty.
For example, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the slave sued the master according to the different charges charged, and the slave had to bear the corresponding punishment from beating the board to beheading.
Even when Yongzheng died in the Qing Dynasty and Qianlong granted amnesty to the world, he deliberately added several charges of "pardon or not" to the will of amnesty.
These include: plotting rebellion and rebellion, children and grandchildren killing their fathers and ancestors, wives and concubines killing their husbands and suing their husbands, slaves and maidservants killing their masters, killing more than three people, harvesting and mutilation, murdering for murder, killing people with poison, poison, robbers, gossip, and ten heinous crimes.
Suing the master as a slave can be ranked alongside these crimes, and it has become the top crime of "forgiveness"!
Many people may not understand why feudal rulers are so afraid of suing their masters with slaves.
Because the ruling core of feudal society is that the class is as big as the sky. The official class and the non-official class are completely people from two worlds. The master and the servant are also people of two worlds.
This concept must be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in order to naturally make people think that the emperor and the officials, who are also people of two worlds, are not the same species at all.
And everyone has secrets, and the slave, as the person who has the most contact with the master, can tell the master if he knows a little secret, so won't the master be threatened and held hostage?
If the servants do not obey their masters, the officials will not obey the emperor, and then the world will be in chaos.
Besides, the emperor has brocade guards, officials at all levels, and patrol envoys, what crime can't be found out in the end, and it depends on your servants to expose it?
Therefore, under this atmosphere and concept, not only is it a felony to accuse the master of being a slave, but even many slaves' reports are directly regarded as invalid evidence and are directly not accepted!
Since Yan Shifan already thought that the Rouge sisters had been bought by Xiao Feng, and the two sisters knew too much about his secrets, what he hoped most was that the Rouge Leopard would tell it all in front of the emperor at this time!
That is to sue the master as a slave! Not only will Rouge Leopard not survive, but all her testimony will also lead to doubts about the authenticity.
The Rouge sisters themselves have no evidence in their hands, and no matter how much their testimony is doubted, they can no longer threaten themselves!
The second reason is that Xiao Feng knows it, and Yan Shifan also knows Jiajing's consistent line of thought.
When two parties are fighting, if one party impeaches the other, there must be real evidence.
If there is no evidence, then the more serious and outrageous the accusation, the more he will feel that this is a party dispute, and there is a high probability that it is framed.
At the beginning, in order to bring down Xia Yan, except for Xia Yan's arrogant and extravagant incriminating evidence, Yan Song spent a lot of energy to falsify the rest of the incriminating evidence, so that Jiajing believed that it was true.
And at that time, Xia Yan had completely angered Jiajing, and Jiajing was willing to kill Xia Yan from the bottom of his heart, so this matter succeeded.
Think about why Xiao Feng and Yan Dang have been fighting openly and secretly for so long, and they have never been able to help each other, because there is no ironclad evidence to prove the charges given to the other party.
Yan Shifan even hoped that Rouge Leopard would be as ruthless as possible!
It is better to say that he colluded with the White Lotus Sect, with the Tatars, with the Japanese bandits, with the pirates, and even that he raised private soldiers and prepared to revolt in the city of Beijing.
The more outrageous and serious she said today, the more unlikely it is to be accepted, because Xiao Feng has no evidence!
And Yan Shifan has been completely whitewashed, and from now on, if someone sues Yan Shifan with the same crime, even if there is a little evidence that is not ironclad enough, Jiajing will not believe it.
But such an excellent opportunity to turn defeat into victory was actually recognized by the rouge leopard! She shouldn't be so smart!
She didn't accuse Yan Shifan of any crime, but honestly replied to Lu Bing, saying that the master had business dealings with the Tatars.
even took the initiative to defend Yan Shifan, saying that he would go back and report to Yan Shifan after learning about the situation.
This can't be regarded as a slave suing the master in any way, but it quietly told everyone that Yan Shifan and the Tatars secretly did business, black market business!
Although this is not a heinous crime, Jiajing, who is already very disgusted with Yan Shifan, will inevitably be even more disgusted, and this disgust will eventually continue to wear out Yan Song's blood bar.
The most nonsense thing is that Yan Shifan can't refute the rouge leopard. Because he said it earlier, he sent Rouge Leopard to spy on the Tatars, and the situation was very close to what Rouge Leopard said.
To tell the truth, even Yan Shifan himself couldn't think of any better reason besides black market trading.
Such a logical reason, if you don't admit it yourself, and make up a reason that is not so reasonable, you can only make the situation worse!
So when Lu Bing's eyes looked at Yan Shifan, Yan Shifan's heart was bleeding, but he had to pretend to nod calmly on his face.
"Lord Lu, you know me, my Yan Mansion is not short of money for the black market business, just to have one more channel for the imperial court to inquire about the news."
Lu Bing was noncommittal, you didn't give me a single message anyway, but if you don't ask, I definitely won't talk about it.
"Rouge Leopard, what did your two sisters do last night, and why are you the only one left at this time, from the truth!"
The rouge leopard had the experience just now and became smarter, she looked at Lu Bing in fear, her body shrunk, and she trembled just right.
"Lord Lu, if you ask me, I can't help but answer, but if I tell the truth, I will be suspected of suing the master as a slave.
Left and right is death, I might as well not say it, lest I bear the infamy of betraying the Lord, you give me a good time.
I just ask the master to keep my mouth shut, if my sister is still alive, please let my sister live! β
Yan Shifan was so angry that he fell off the cart with a puff and kowtowed to Jiajing.
"Hooray, hooray! There is such a slave, it is the misfortune of my Yan family! Long live Mingjian, long live Mingjian! β
Jiajing glanced at Yan Shifan and said lightly: "She doesn't want to say anything, you just say that she is a slave, and your slave in the Yan Mansion is too difficult to be." β
Yan Shifan was excited, knowing that Jiajing's dissatisfaction with himself had reached the extreme, and he hurriedly cried.
"Long live, long live here today, seeing thousands of miles, and being able to hear about this case is a blessing for the minister.
Long live the minister, let her say, don't use slaves to sue the master, don't dare to prevaricate if you don't dare to speak, she doesn't use a knife to kill people, long live! β
Yan Song also knelt down, with tears in his eyes, and he looked ten years old all of a sudden. He knew that it was nonsense to say anything at this time, and it all depended on what Jiajing thought.
Jiajing looked at Yan Song, and finally couldn't bear it, and nodded lightly.
"Lu Bing, you continue to ask. Huang Jin, let Yan Shoufu get up and return to his seat. Yan Shifan also get up. β
Huang Jin didn't call anyone, and personally came down to help Yan Song back to his seat. But this time, Yan Shifan was very embarrassed.
Because Jiajing didn't say that Yan Shifan would also get up and return to the seat, in fact, Jiajing didn't give Yan Shifan a seat! But Jiajing gave Yan Shifan a flat body again!
Yan Shifan definitely didn't dare to continue lying on his stomach, otherwise he would be disobeying the order!
The emperor asked you to be flat, and you continued to lie on your stomach, what's the matter, you have such a big opinion about the emperor? Do you want to die?
But he didn't dare to climb back into the car, because the emperor didn't say to let you return to your seat, so you returned to your seat by yourself.
So Yan Shifan only had one choice left in the end, he propped himself up, and then sat on the ground.
All the officials in the court secretly squinted at Yan Shifan, feeling that they had lived too little before, and today they finally lived for a long time.
Over the years, I've seen someone kneeling, lying on my stomach, standing on my stomach, and I've never seen anyone sitting on the ground at a court meeting......
Yan Shifan's face was blue and red and white for a while, and he only felt that the saddest and most embarrassing moment in his life was none other than this.
Jiajing was actually stunned for a moment, he didn't mean to humiliate Yan Shifan, he just simply forgot that he had no legs.
It's just that Yan Shifan has already sat down at this time, and it seems too deliberate to let him sit down again, so he simply made a mistake and ignored him, nodded at Lu Bing, and signaled to continue.
Lu Bing looked at Yan Shifan on the ground, endured the amusement in his heart, and continued to interrogate in a flat tone.
"Rouge Leopard, Yan Shaoqing has already asked for a decree from Banzai, what you say next that night, as long as it is the truth, it will not be counted as your slave suing the master, let's say it."
Only then did the rouge leopard touch his tears, and opened his mouth timidly, the action of wiping his tears, even Jiajing's eyes straightened, and he quickly closed them slightly.
"Lord Huilu, around the second watch yesterday, the master suddenly found me and my sister and asked us to go out urgently.
The master said that Xiao Feng had found out the details of the servant who complained about it, and he also suspected that the servant had not been to the World Invasion Observatory before, and he heard that Xiao Feng was going to ask Banzai for an order, and he was interrogated overnight!
The master said that I would separate myself from my sister's soldiers, my sister would go to the criminal department to kill the servants, and I would go to the Imperial Prison to rescue Xiaodong. My sister and I were terrified.
Although he has done some murderous things under his master over the years, after all, they are all tasks that can be completed, and these two are simply impossible tasks. β
Lu Bing nodded: "Under normal circumstances, with the kung fu of your two sisters, not to mention that the edict can't be robbed, even the Criminal Department, it is impossible for you to go alone." β
Rouge Leopard said aggrievedly: "That's right, my sister said that Zhan Feiyun's kung fu is only higher than her, and there is still some hope for the two of us in the criminal department."
As for the Imperial Prison, the Jinyi guards there are highly skilled in martial arts, and next door is the Beizhen Fusi, there are four or five people on duty all year round at night, and they can come over as soon as they say hello, which is really difficult to start.
The master gave us two bunches of incense, saying that he had obtained it from the Criminal Department, and that it was a unique secret recipe for a flower thief, which was confiscated by the Criminal Department.
The owner said that this kind of incense can make ordinary people's whole body weak. Because it is the criminal department and Jinyi Wei that you have to deal with, you have to bring enough amounts. β
Everyone's eyes looked at Liutai in unison, and Liutai was terrified: Damn, what are you all looking at me for? It's really not me for Yan Shifan!
Even Jiajing looked at Liu Tai: You don't need to ask about this, if it's true, then it must be you for Yan Shifan.
In the entire Criminal Department, only you and Zhang Juzheng are qualified to produce confiscated criminal evidence, not you, is it Zhang Juzheng? He is very bad with Yan Fu!
Liu Tai naturally saw Jiajing's eyes, but he couldn't tell the difference.
Because Jiajing didn't ask anything, he jumped out at this time to shout injustice, and there was definitely a suspicion that there were no three hundred taels of silver here!
Liu Tai didn't dare to shout grievances, Yan Shifan sat on the ground and already started to shout grievances.
"Hooray, this is pure nonsense, there was no such thing last night!
Her sister obviously went to Luoma Lane to have fun with Xiao Xianggong, and she has been staying in the house, these are all nonsense! β
Jiajing said coldly: "Yan Shifan, it is Lu Bing who is trying the case at this time, if you have anything to say, he will naturally give you the opportunity to speak, what are you anxious about?" β
Yan Shifan suddenly shut up, and looked at the rouge leopard helplessly, not knowing what other terrible words would come out of her sexy red lips.
