Jiang Yingying had never seen this battle before, and she was so frightened that she tried to do anything.
"Yes... it's a man. He came to me and gave me a letter, asking me to find an opportunity to hide in the house of the senator's wife, and then take the opportunity to frame the Yuan family for collaborating with the enemy. I... I was forced to
Yes, sir, have mercy on me! Have mercy on me!"
It's really useless, it's all gone at the very beginning.
"Who is that man? What does he look like? Where did you meet him, and what did you say after meeting him?"
Jiang Yingying trembled and recounted everything that happened in the Jiang Mansion that day.
While talking, she cried: "I didn't agree at first. Really, although I wanted to get rid of the relationship with the Yuan family, the Yuan family is still my husband's family after all, but that man told me that if I didn't follow him
Do as you say, once the Yuan family is convicted,
Even if I escape to the ends of the earth, I will be captured and buried with the Yuan family. He said that as long as I do what he says, as a meritorious person who exposed the crimes of the Yuan family, I will not only be able to escape, but I will not be afraid of being helpless in the future.
remarry,
I...I was confused for a moment and agreed to this matter, but other than that, I have never done anything to harm the Yuan family. Grandma, grandma and granddaughter-in-law know that I was wrong. Please forgive me this time.
Give me another chance to change my ways!"
While talking, Jiang Yingying crawled over on the ground, hugged the elder's wife's thigh, and cried so hard that her heart broke.
But Mrs. Yuan no longer had any sympathy or soft-heartedness. She only looked at her indifferently and said, "You accepted this false letter slandering the Yuan family as a collaborator. Have you ever thought that the Yuan family is also your family? You hid the letter in my
In his house, he ran to Dali Temple and sued the Yuan family.
If the anomaly in this letter had not been discovered in time, once convicted, dozens of members of the Yuan family would have died on the guillotine in vain. Now that the matter has been exposed, you know you were wrong. It is already too late. It is your own fault.
, it’s up to you to repay it!”
Jiang Yingying collapsed on the ground, but she didn't want to die, even if she had to seize the last chance.
So she turned her head and hugged Yan Mingzhu's thigh again, "Cousin, it's all my fault. I told you everything I know. Please, please forgive me. As long as you can forgive me,
I will not hesitate to work for the Yuan family in the future!"
"When that man came to you, did you see what he looked like?"
Jiang Yingying thought about it carefully, but in the end she couldn't remember anything, "He...he was masked and dressed in pitch black, and it was still night, so I really couldn't see his appearance clearly..."
"If you don't see his appearance clearly, then what's the use of keeping you?"
Yan Mingzhu's almost heartless words made Jiang Yingying suddenly raise her head and look at her in disbelief.
"I...I am the official wife of Jin Shenming, who was married to the matchmaker and carried into the Yuan family on a large sedan chair. I am also a member of the Yuan family. You can't do this to me..."
Hearing this, Yan Mingzhu smiled instead, "Jiang Yingying, do you remember what I said to you on the day of my grandfather's funeral, when you escaped privately and then came back and entered the Yuan family gate?"
Jiang Yingying looked at Yan Mingzhu blankly, unable to react for a moment as to why Yan Mingzhu suddenly mentioned this.
"I said that returning to the Yuan family after you escape is the last chance we give you. As long as you step into the gate of the Yuan family again, if you do anything that harms the Yuan family again in the future, you will not be the granddaughter-in-law of the Yuan family.
And I will never show mercy to you again."
After saying that, Yan Mingzhu no longer looked at her, but turned around and said: "Sir, according to the laws of Jokhang, if someone deceives the government, slanders and slanders others, how should they be judged?"
"According to the law, you should be punished with fifty canes, and then you should be tortured with salt for two hours. Come on, take me down for execution!"
As the name suggests, salt torture is to add table salt to a bucket of water and soak the person in the salt water.
If you are an ordinary person, there will be no problem if you soak in it for two hours.
But if a person has been beaten fifty times, his skin and flesh are bruised, and then he is soaked in a bucket of salt, the wounds on his body will not heal, but will become more and more serious. This process is simply worse than death.
Still painful.
Jiang Yingying's face turned pale and she screamed for mercy, but she was still dragged down and beaten mercilessly.
"Mr. Cai, although there is no conclusive evidence to prove the Yuan family's innocence, you have also seen today that someone did not hesitate to set up such a sinister trap and wanted the lives of the Yuan family. There must be major problems in the Yueshan battle.
For those who have suffered grievances, please restore my grandfather’s innocence and bring justice to the thousands of soldiers who died in vain!”
After what happened today, Cai Siqing has already made some judgments in his mind.
"I will definitely submit a petition to Your Majesty regarding today's matter. The case of Marquis Yongyi is full of doubts. I will definitely not wrongly accuse a good man. Just don't worry."
With Cai Siqing's words, Yan Mingzhu can rest assured to do other things in a short period of time.
When I walked out of the hall, I saw Jiang Yingying lying on the bench and leaning against the board, screaming one after another.
Jiang Yingying was a weak woman. She only hit less than ten boards before she was knocked unconscious.
However, the government officials were not merciful and poured cold water on her to wake her up. After she woke up, she continued to beat her.
Repeat this until all fifty boards are played.
Jiang Yingying lay on the bench, panting and unable to even move a finger.
Until a pair of embroidered shoes stopped in front of her.
"This letter and the letter of departure are for you."
Jiang Yingying raised her head in disbelief and met Yan Mingzhu's clear eyes. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through everything and see through people's hearts.
"When the news of my grandfather's death reached the imperial capital, my grandmother wrote a letter of separation for them. Not only you, but also your eldest aunt, second aunt and eldest cousin. Grandma made up her mind from the beginning.
If the Yuan family is really convicted, you will be asked to take the He Li Shu and leave the Marquis Mansion. Originally, grandma wanted to hand over the He Li Shu to you on the day of my grandfather's funeral. You can keep it as you wish. She will never interfere.
.”
Jiang Yingying opened her eyes wide and shook her head with difficulty, unwilling to believe it, "No... you lied to me, it's impossible, the Yuan family... there's no way the Yuan family will let me go, they want me to be buried deeply for Yuan Jin...
"
"He Lishu is right here. Believe it or not, although you are selfish and not worthy of your second cousin, there is one thing I still want to thank you for."
As he spoke, Yan Mingzhu squatted down and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You made such a fuss in Dali Temple today, but it made the Dali Temple minister understand that there is a lot of doubt about my grandfather's collaboration with the enemy, and there must be someone behind it.
operate,
As long as he reports today's matter to Emperor Bing, he will definitely be able to save the Yuan family's life. Seeing that you are stupid but have rarely done a good thing for the Yuan family, I will give you a break."
