Chapter 37: Slander comes at a price

The onlookers quickly gave way of the way.

Soon, the glittering carriage stopped at the gate of the General's Palace, followed by an unpretentious carriage.

Jiang Yan jumped down from the carriage in front of her, although this action was simple, it was easy to vibrate her body, so Ning Ruyan frowned when she saw it, she felt that if this person continued to toss like this, the thread to suture the wound would probably grow into the flesh, and there was no need to take it at all.

There was also a person in the carriage behind, who was none other than Yin Xie Ningyuan, the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture.

"I've seen General Jiang, the general's wife." Xie Ningyuan bowed slightly at Jiang Changgong and Huo.

Jiang Changgong's face trembled, and he hurriedly hugged his fists: "I've seen Xie Fuyin." ”

"The official was passing by here just now, and he happened to meet someone reporting to the official, so he came over directly." Xie Ning glanced at everyone from afar, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"It's okay, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all ......"

"My lord, he is the official of the courtiers." Ning Ruyan interrupted the Huo clan who was trying to make peace with the mud, stepped forward and knelt on the ground.

"You ......"

"The courtiers Ning Ruyan, is the wife of Jiang Bonian, the eldest son of the Dingguo General's Mansion, married into the Jiang family in August last year, just after worshipping heaven and earth that day, the husband received an order to go to war with the army, these more than half a year, the courtiers abide by their duties, never more than half a step, but today, they were insulted in public, saying that the courtiers do not abide by women's morals, and the courtiers have to ask adults to come and administer justice in order to prove their innocence." Ning Ruyan's voice was not loud, but her speech was clear, and she made things clear in a few simple words.

"Not keeping women's morals? Did you catch the adulterer? Xie Ning glanced at Jiang Yan from afar.

"Gong said that the adulterer of the courtier's wife is Lord Jiang."

"Huh?" Jiang Yan seemed stunned for a moment, "Is it still related to this commander?" He couldn't help but look at Gong, "Have you seen us...... Still? ”

At this time, Gong Shi had lost the toughness he had just now, and his whole body was a little soft.

At this time, Li Jiu had already led someone to move down the tables, chairs and benches behind the carriage, and even a set of tea sets.

"Since it's the first time, Lord Xie, let's check, the innocence of this commander cannot be insulted." Jiang Yan lifted his robe and sat down, looking at Gong Shi with a gaze that was almost the same as looking at a dead man.

The people of the Gong family in the crowd were even more frightened and shrank back, for fear that they would be implicated in a while.

Xie Ningyuan glanced at Jiang Yan speechlessly, and said in his heart, Are you still innocent? Funny, right? But he didn't dare to say this, and then sat down in another chair: "Ning, you said that you are innocent, may you prove yourself?" ”

"My lord, Gong slandered his courtiers, shouldn't she give evidence? Could it be that as soon as her upper teeth touched her lower teeth, the slandered person should be tired and tired to prove himself? Is that what everyone can do in the future? Anyway, there is no punishment for slander. ”

"How can slanderers go unpunished?" Xie Ningyuan frowned, "Anyone who slanders others will be punished with a board or imprisoned, or even more serious, exiled to death." ”

"Then Gong, you can take the evidence of my innocence."

Gong couldn't open her mouth at this time, where did she have evidence? She's just guessing, but now that Master Jiang is here, can she say guess?

"Can't tell? Then hit, hit until you can speak. Jiang Yan's words came out lightly, "Let's hit ten boards first." ”

"My lord, the courtiers are wrong, the courtiers guessed, and the adults spared their lives......" When Gong heard that he was going to fight, he was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

But at this time, someone had already come up, pressed Gong to the ground and began to beat.

The screams suddenly resounded in the sky, making the people around them change their faces, especially the people of the Gong family, and even some people ran back in a hurry, obviously going back to discuss countermeasures.

Ten boards down, Gong really couldn't bear it, and begged for mercy.

Ning Ruyan knelt down again at this time: "Although the Gong family admits that it is slander, the courtiers also want to prove themselves, otherwise there will definitely be suspicions." ”

"Ning, how do you prove yourself?"

"The courtiers did not have a round of sex with their husbands, and they are still complete."

Xie Ningyuan glanced at Jiang Yan and saw that he nodded, and then called the female doctor from Gyeonggi Mansion over.

After the female doctor examined it, she confirmed that Ning Ruyan's words were true.

"Gong, what else do you have to say?" Xie Ning looked at Gong from afar.

Gong could only shake his head.

"Master Xie, a woman who has been divorced dares to come back and slander the court officials, this thing sounds strange, this commander thinks that he has to investigate carefully, maybe someone is behind it."

"Yes." Xie Ning responded far away, and then waved his hand, "Take it away." ”

So several officials rushed over and dragged Gong away directly.

Huo Shi was so frightened that he almost fell, but he was also glad in his heart, fortunately, he left, otherwise he would have affected the general's mansion.

Jiang Changgong's health is not good, standing here for a long time at this time, he can hardly bear it, seeing that the matter is clear, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Lord Jiang, Lord Xie, why don't you sit in the house?" ”

"Ning, what do you want?" Jiang Yan didn't pay attention to Jiang Changgong, but looked at Ning Ruyan.

"The courtiers abide by their duties, but they didn't expect to get such an insult in exchange, so the courtiers want to reconcile." Ning Ruyan knelt down.

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence around them, and finally Huo Shi took the lead in reacting, only to see that she suddenly pushed away Mama Yuan, who was supporting her, and walked over in a few steps, and Po Tong knelt in front of Ning Ruyan: "Ning, we admit that we wronged you before, but we didn't disbelieve you, now Ah Nian's bones are not cold, you are his wife, how can you leave?" ”

"Ning." Jiang Changgong was also helped over by someone, "I know you have been wronged, don't worry, this will never happen again in the future, you are the daughter-in-law of our Jiang family, forever, I will write to you in the next few days, and from then on, the Jiang family will be handed over to you." ”

Seeing that Ning Ruyan didn't speak, the old man even knelt down.

"Father." Ning Ruyan hurriedly got up and dodged, "Are you trying to torment your daughter-in-law?" She didn't want to leave now, such behavior was just a test, "The daughter-in-law just wants to be fair." ”

"Don't worry, if anyone dares to slander you in the future, it will be impossible to get along with the General's Mansion, even if I, Jiang Changgong, fight hard to get rid of the Jiang family's military exploits, I will seek justice for you."

"With the promise of her parents, the daughter-in-law will be down-to-earth." Ning Ruyan's grateful eyes were a little red.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but sneer, and then got up: "Li Jiu, remember to go to the Gong family to ask for compensation, the innocence of this commander is very expensive." ”

"Yes." Li Jiu should go down.

Jiang Yan glanced at Ning Ruyan and walked straight away.
