Taking the two hairpins from the Empress Dowager, Ning Yujin nodded to Zheng Zhongkui: "That's okay, sir, let them come in one by one."
Zheng Zhongkui waved the officer to bring witnesses in, and at the same time said to Ning Yujin with a serious face: "You'd better not play any tricks. Delaying the trial and disturbing the court is a serious crime. If your innocence cannot be proven by then, don't blame me for punishing you."
sin!"
This sentence was meant for the Empress Dowager. She was not happy about what happened just now. Now when she heard Zheng Zhongkui say this, it was hard to pursue anything. She snorted coldly and raised her eyes to look at Ning coldly.
Hibiscus.
Ning Yujin raised her hand to Zheng Zhongkui and said, "Yes, sir."
At this time, the yamen servant had already walked in with the first witness. Ning Yujin turned around and saw a little maid in a pink dress. She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with an oval face and a pair of big, smart eyes.
Still somewhat pretty.
It's just that his eyes are a little uncertain, and he can't help but glance around. In such a solemn place, under the attention of so many important people, if you don't have any courage and confidence, it's really easy to get weak.
When Ning Yujin saw her like that, the corner of her mouth curled up into a silent smile.
Although there are many witnesses, they are all servants, maids, and old women shopping for groceries. They can be bribed with a little inducement, but they can also be bribed with a little coercion to tell the truth.
This little maid was a third-class maid in Ning Yuyan's room. She said she saw Ning Yujin sneaking into Ning Yuyan's yard, and it took a long time to sneak out under the protection of someone.
The description of the process is very detailed. I am afraid that after practicing this rhetoric countless times, the process of saying it the second time is exactly the same as the first time.
Ning Yujin didn't ask her these questions. She just raised the two hairpins in her hands and asked her with a smile: "According to what you said so clearly, you should have been very close to me at that time. Let me ask you, at that time
Which of these two hairpins is it that I’m wearing on my head?”
This situation was completely unexpected. The little maid was stunned immediately and stared blankly at the hairpin in Ning Yujin's hand: "This..."
The Empress Dowager immediately understood what Ning Yujin meant, reached out and slapped the armrest of the chair, and sternly scolded: "Ning Yujin, don't try to deceive others!"
When Ning Yujin saw Mo Jingxiao about to speak, she quickly shook her head gently to stop him.
The presiding judge at the moment is Zheng Zhongkui, and she is the suspect and he is the observer. If he helps her at this moment, he may have to live up to his confession.
She smiled at the Empress Dowager and said: "The Empress Dowager, please calm down. How can this be considered a lie? She even remembers exactly where I stood with my eldest sister and what I said. Ask her this question."
It’s not too much. If this little girl had no problem hiding aside and eavesdropping on her master’s speech, her intentions would be really suspicious.”
As she spoke, she glanced sideways at the little maid, and saw her eyes dodge for a moment, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
Indeed, regardless of the collusion between Ning Yujin and Ning Yuyan, just saying that she betrayed her master as a maid in Ning Yuyan's courtyard was enough to make her die a miserable death.
Ning Yujin walked up to her at this time and handed the hairpin to her: "Do you remember? Which hairpin was I wearing at that time?"
The little maid looked at Chaizi, then raised her head to look at Ning Yujin. She was facing away from everyone at the moment. She was obviously about the same age as herself, but there was a cold and fierce power in her eyes.
When you stare at someone, your gaze is like a knife, which can kill you.
She immediately flinched and raised her hand to cover someone casually: "This, it's this!"
"Okay." Ning Yujin turned around and showed the hairpin that the little maid pointed out to everyone, and then asked the little maid to retreat.
At this moment, the mood of everyone in the venue had begun to become more subtle. The Empress Dowager looked at Ning Yujin with colder and sharper eyes, while Mo Jingxiao, Mo Ye and the others had changed into a mentality of watching a good show.
, waiting calmly for Ning Yujin to perform.
After all, she still underestimated her ability. It seemed that she could clear herself out of the crime without them having to take action.
What happened next was even simpler. Ning Yujin asked everyone the same question, and everyone answered with different answers. Ning Yujin didn't say anything, and let them go after asking.
After everyone had finished asking, everyone present had already made up their minds.
Ning Yujin glanced at the crowd, finally faced Zheng Zhongkui, smiled slightly and said: "Sir, you also saw these two hairpins borrowed by the common people from the Queen Mother Taihuang. The common people have never worn them, but the witnesses said
The common people wore one of these on that day, so the authenticity of their testimony is not worthy of consideration."
"Hmph, using deception to obtain useful testimony for yourself, the majestic Princess Zanding is really good and resourceful!" The Empress Dowager raised her eyes and snorted coldly, her tone becoming more and more insistent.
Ning Yujin was not annoyed and said slowly: "If they haven't seen it, just say they haven't seen it. Why do they have to give false testimony? What's more, everyone around me knows that I have always disliked wearing these pearl hairpins.
It’s very troublesome, so except for some plain hairpins, I never use hairpins. How did they see me wearing these?”
The Empress Dowager immediately slapped the coffee table and angrily shouted: "You are speaking one-sidedly and talking nonsense!"
Ning Yujin bowed her hands respectfully, without missing a beat of etiquette, and simply said: "The Empress Dowager, justice is in the hearts of the people."
Such a sentence, "Justice is in the heart of the people", immediately won the eyes of Dali Temple Minister Zheng Zhongkui and Shen Laoguo Gong, etc. who nodded in approval.
Then Zheng Zhongkui stood up and raised his hands to the Empress Dowager and said: "Empress Dowager, this case has not been tried clearly yet, please be patient. If who is the murderer, I will not tolerate him even a cent; if he is innocent,
"Wei Chen will not wrong anyone even a cent. Please be fair and impartial. If Wei Chen makes any mistakes during the trial, please ask the Empress Dowager to correct me."
To put it bluntly, we are the presiding judge of this case. Can you please stop getting involved? It is not up to anyone to decide who is who and who has the final say. Is it interesting to continue this dispute?
The Queen Mother was not a fool, so she naturally understood what she was saying, snorted coldly, turned away and stopped talking.
Only then did Zheng Zhongkui sit back in his seat. He was startled and his thick black eyebrows showed his majesty: "The previous witnesses provided false testimonies and repeated testimonies. It is difficult to prove the authenticity of the previous testimonies. Therefore, Ning Yu
The crime of Jin colluding with Ning Yuyan, the side concubine of Prince Xing, with the intention of murdering Princess Xing and her unborn child is not found guilty!"
Mo Jingxiao's eyebrows raised slightly, the corners of Ning Yujin's lips raised slightly, and everyone around them started talking quietly.
The Empress Dowager winked at the Korean minister next to her, who immediately stood up and looked at Ning Yujin angrily: "I still have evidence that she murdered my Ling'er!"
