Just listening to it, Mingtai could think of this scene, and the anger in his heart bubbled out.
He has always been calm and self-possessed, and there are very few things that can make him truly angry.
But at this moment, hearing what happened to this girl and seeing the injury on her head, Mingtai was extremely angry.
"Xue Fuyin, is this what you call a trial according to rules and regulations? You are so brave. It seems that you don't want the black gauze hat on your head!"
At this time, Xue Fuyin was completely frightened. He knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted for his life: "Xiaoguan... I haven't had time to interrogate you more. It's because of my dereliction of duty. Please forgive me, Prime Minister. Please forgive me."
Prime Minister, please forgive me!"
"An innocent girl has suffered such a great injustice, and you were able to expose it without even having time to interrogate her with just one or two sentences? Today, if you can't give her justice, the truth will be revealed to Your Majesty.
If you do somersault, call your majesty to come and question me!"
If this matter comes to Emperor Zhao, then he, the governor, will be done with it.
Xue Fuyin didn't dare to delay even a little bit, and said repeatedly: "Yes, don't worry, Prime Minister, I will deal with it seriously and will never tolerate anyone!"
"You're still worried about what you're doing here. Could it be that you want the truth to go to court to judge for you?"
Xue Fuyin quickly said no and almost crawled back to his official position.
"You boldly Ping Changbo, abused your own daughter, violated the peace of his late wife, and made irresponsible remarks in front of me. Do you agree with each of these things?"
Ping Changbo struggled to get up, "Xue Fuyin, you are wronged, I have never abused this evil person... Mingzhu, I am her biological father, how can I be willing to hurt her?"
Today, I asked someone to take her back to my house. I just thought that after she separated from the Pei family, it would be too dangerous for her to be alone outside. I wanted her to live in the Earl's Mansion. My heart for loving my daughter is overwhelming.
Take a look!
Furthermore, this child said that I abused her. Apart from her one-sided statement, is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, I will never admit such an unjustifiable crime!"
This was categorical, and he looked like he was innocent, as if he was really innocent.
At this time, Mingtai said: "He did it to you in the Earl's Mansion, right?"
Yan Mingzhu nodded.
Mingtai only raised his hand and said: "Go to the Earl of Pingchang's Mansion and bring me all the servants involved in today's incident. They will interrogate them one by one. If these people all say that you are not guilty, Uncle Pingchang, and are inconsistent with your words,
Likewise, the truth will never wrong a good person."
Uncle Pingchang's face suddenly changed. Before he could speak, Mingtai added: "The step-brother and the second daughter are also brought here. If Uncle Pingchang is guilty, they will not be able to escape."
Their relationship must be punished together."
After a while, all the servants from Pingchang Earl's Palace were brought over, and Mingtai ordered the servant to follow him for interrogation.
Deng and Yan Qinglian were carried over. Both of them were seriously injured and could not walk at all.
"Dad, you must avenge your daughter and kill this bitch..."
Before he finished speaking, Pingchang Bo covered his mouth and said, "Shut up, this is in court, and Prime Minister Ming is personally in charge. You are not allowed to talk nonsense!"
Yan Qinglian hated Yan Mingzhu so much that when she was carried in, she only saw Yan Mingzhu and ignored the others.
Turning his head, he met Mingtai's stern and sharp gaze. His heart skipped a beat in fright, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
Although this right minister of the Ming Dynasty was a civil servant, he dealt with things vigorously and without any mercy. Together with Qi Jue, the king of Dingbei, they were the two people who should not be provoked in the entire imperial capital.
And here, the torture room in Jingzhao Mansion is called the Hall of Hell by the outside world. Anyone who is caught and interrogated cannot even think of getting out without peeling off a layer of skin.
It was obvious that these servants were not strict-mouthed. Not long after they entered for interrogation, many of them had already been recruited.
The boy quickly came out with the confession, "Master, these are the confessions of the servants. What they confessed is almost the same as Miss Yan San's."
Ping Changbo was so frightened that his legs weakened and he collapsed on the ground.
"Ming Xiang, I can explain that things are really not like this..."
Mingtai directly threw the confession in Ping Changbo's face, "As a father, he is so cruel to his own daughter. He is worse than a beast. Xue Fuyin, you don't need the truth to teach you how to judge.
Alright?"
"Of course, the bold Pingchang Bo actually dared to make up lies and deceive his own officials. Fortunately, someone knew clearly and found out the whole story. He lied to deceive the officials, abused his own daughter, and burned his wife's coffin. The evidence is conclusive.
Uncle Pingchang is sentenced to fifty boards. His step-sibling Deng and his second daughter Yan Qinglian are accomplices. They are sentenced to forty boards. They will be executed immediately without delay!"
Fifty boards down, half of Pingchang Bo's life was lost, "Xue Fuyin was wronged, I was wronged..."
"No! Daddy, daddy, save me, mother, mother wuwuwu..."
Yan Qinglian was slapped fifty times yesterday, and today she was slapped thirty times, and her life would be cut in half.
But the worst thing is that the Deng family suffered 50 blows yesterday, and another 30 today. It's hard to tell whether they will survive after the beating.
Suddenly, screams rang out one after another in Jingzhao Mansion.
"Prime Minister, after all, Yan Mingzhu is the biological daughter of Uncle Pingchang. The official has already punished her in accordance with the strictest regulations in our laws. Do you think?"
Xue Fuyin carefully tried to please him. The law was revised by Mingtai, and he naturally knew it better than anyone else.
"Xue Fuyin, if an unjust case like today happens next time, your position as Jingzhao Fuyin will be at its peak."
Xue Fuyin bent his waist as low as possible, not daring to refute at all: "Yes, what Prime Minister Ming said is, I will bear it in mind, and I will handle cases fairly and strictly in the future, and will never tolerate it!"
Mingtai no longer wasted time, turned around and came to Yan Mingzhu.
As soon as he stretched out a hand, Yan Mingzhu took a step back to keep a suitable distance.
"Thank you Mingxiang for upholding justice for this little girl. I am very grateful."
This girl seems to be particularly afraid of contact with him. Does he look so scary?
Obviously, Mingtai had a misunderstanding. He thought he was too serious and scared Yan Mingzhu, so he tried to soften his eyes.
"No need to be polite. Where do you live? Can I take you back home?"
Yan Mingzhu immediately refused: "I dare not trouble Ming Xiang. The little girl can go back by herself..."
"How can you, a girl like you, be injured again and add a coffin to the house? How can you go back by yourself? Xue Fuyin, please find two official servants and prepare a spacious carriage to properly place the coffin and coffin."
Xue Mansion Yinlian claimed that it was true and quickly ordered the officials to do it.
Mingtai turned his head and said without allowing refusal: "Get in the carriage first. The injury on your head needs to be treated as soon as possible."
