Volume 1 The Newlyweds Chapter 29 Everything Goes Through the Stage
Listening to the litigator's words, Prime Minister Lin showed displeasure. This man was so eloquent that he could tell at the first glance that the words were sophistry.
But since Ma Jiu had been bullying the people for a long time, naturally no one was willing to testify that day. There were also those gangsters who had conflicts with Jiu Prince Consort. When they learned that his niece Anyang was behind him, they wanted to hide as far away as possible.
.
As for these matters, the litigator knows very well. Since there is no one to testify, it would be better to plead not guilty directly. By then, his reputation will be better, and his reputation will be even more prominent.
Although the other party's little thoughts were completely seen through by Lin Xiang, the case was related to Anyang's happiness and his own status in the court.
Calculated in this way, it can be regarded as a transaction of equal value.
Thinking about it in his mind, Mr. Lin made up his mind to accompany the litigant through the necessary formalities.
So he spoke in an official tone and said: "What you say makes sense, but there is no real evidence. Without real evidence, how can I know whether what you say is true?"
When Jing Huan heard this, he immediately understood that the Prime Minister had already agreed, so he also answered: "If the student can find irrefutable evidence that the prince-in-law cannot kill people, will your Excellency change the sentence and sentence the prince-in-law not guilty?"
"Then it must first be handed over to the Prime Minister and all of you adults for review, and then to my three halls for discussion before making a decision." Lin Prime Minister responded condescendingly.
Jing Huan nodded, raised his head and reported back: "This irrefutable evidence has always been there, but at that time, the governor of the imperial capital only wanted to protect Ma Jiu and put the consort to death, so everyone ignored it."
Prime Minister Lin frowned slightly and seemed to ask him again where the irrefutable evidence existed.
Jing Huan turned to look at Xue Junyou and nodded.
Xue Jun immediately understood. He coughed a few times in front of the court and pretended to be listless. Jing Huan raised his hand and said: "The ironclad evidence is of course in the consort. The student got the news from the princess. After the consort's wedding,
Unfortunately, he was injured by the Qiang dog in the house on the first day, and he was seriously injured. Naturally, he did not have the strength to hurt anyone again."
The three adults in the hall looked at each other for a few times, then made a gesture to the Dali Temple official.
The officer removed the shackles and shackles and took off Xue Junyou's prison uniform. Sure enough, several shocking scabs came into view. Some of the deep wounds had not even grown new flesh.
Not only did he show it to the three adults, but at Jing Huan's signal, Xue Junyou also turned around and showed it to the old men in the inner courtyard.
But seeing this horrific damage, the old people who accused Xue Junyou of being the murderer also felt pity in their hearts.
How could a mortal be able to kill someone with his bare hands after suffering such heavy injuries? It would be reasonable if Ma Jiu and the other deceased died in a sneak attack by the consort with a sharp stone, but the beating of Ma Jiu that everyone saw that day with his bare hands has become absolutely unacceptable now.
What might happen.
"Sir, my student, there is also a document collected by the Imperial Medical Office here. It is a report from Imperial Physician Zhao on the first day after the wedding of the consort and the princess. It is enough to prove that the consort suffered the stab wound before the conflict with Ma Jiu."
After speaking, Jing Huan sent the document up. Lin Xiang read it and nodded.
Jing Huan worked hard and presented evidence that Ma Jiuben was guilty of the crime and even died, as well as a letter from all the people begging for the prince's innocence. All the relevant documents were quite complete.
Xue Junyou could only see clearly from where he was that his identity was there, and everything he did today was just a formality to give the world a "fair" explanation.
After the three adults in the hall quietly discussed the time for half a stick of incense, they heard a heavy slap on the table. Lin Xiang sat in the middle and pronounced the verdict:
"After deliberation between the Prime Minister and all of you, it is true that Xue Junyou, the Nine Prince-in-law of the dynasty, picked quarrels and committed murders in the street. According to the laws of the Great Entropy, anyone who picks quarrels will be sentenced to eighteen canes. It is also true that he accidentally killed someone in the alley.
, according to the laws of the Great Entropy, anyone who accidentally hurts someone will be sentenced to eighteen years in prison.
But I, Entropy, have feelings, and my thoughts have a reason, and it is actually the deceased who harmed me first, and the failure of the Nine Prince Consort was also due to desperation. There is also the Book of Ten Thousand People drafted by the people of Xuanyang City.
Therefore, the Prime Minister and the two gentlemen changed the sentence based on public opinion, and the nine princes-in-law were sentenced to eighteen canes, and the prison sentence was changed to pay five hundred taels of silver to the family of the deceased."
After the announcement, Luo Junyue stood up, bowed her hands to her uncle and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, my prince-in-law is seriously injured at the moment, and he has been on death row for several days. He is already infected with the disease. Can you give me the cane first and wait for the prince-in-law to get sick?"
Then come and be tortured."
"That's right." Lin Xiang changed from his normal state and nodded kindly.
... ... ...
Dusk is approaching.
Deep in the palace, the glazed roof is shining with golden light, and the black and red high-walled pavilions show the majesty of a black empire.
"The case of the Ninth Prince Consort has been decided. You can use the hands of the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate the Ninth Prince Consort's mansion."
"I have secretly sent the imperial censor to sneak in. The secret room in Ma Jiu Mansion has been destroyed and cannot be entered."
In the Imperial Garden, Luo Yexuan and Nalan Yanhua walked on the cobblestone path.
Hearing Nalan's response, Luo Yexuan didn't seem surprised, but he looked a little sad and said: "The two inspections were disrupted by the adopted son of the Xue family. It seems that Donglinghou's tail is going to find another way.
"
Nalan Yanhua chuckled lightly: "Ma Jiu secretly robbed civilian girls and forced them into prostitution. It is already known to everyone. This also shows that the Marquis of Dongling is not afraid of this matter being exposed, and there is no substantial evidence.
"
"But the connection between the Marquis of Dongling and the Imperial Capital, didn't your Jiuying Protectorate only grasp this point? It used to be that there was at least a thin thread, but now there is nothing left." Luo Yexuan said with a look of reluctance.
"Although a thin thread is broken, a new thread has been picked up from Ma Mansion." Nalan Yanhua said immediately.
"Huh?" Luo Yexuan's eagle eyes lit up, he turned to look at Nalan Yanhua and asked, "Where does the new line come from?"
"Fourth Princess." Nalan Yanhua said bluntly without hesitation.
Luo Yexuan frowned suddenly, as if he was hesitant.
After a long while, he asked: "Huan'er... I know the rumors about her and Ma Jiu, but she has a relationship with Dongling Marquis. How did they know each other?"
Nalan Yanhua heard the sound and responded: "This minister has verified that the people who destroyed the darkroom that day were indeed the hands of several people sent by the Fourth Princess to express condolences. And now think carefully about how Ma Jiu and the Fourth Princess met.
, it’s also a little strange.”
Luo Yexuan stopped and asked, "What's so strange?"
Nalan Yanhua analyzed: "When Ma Jiu came back from Dongzhou for the first time, the first person he visited was Princess Lingyang, but he was not summoned by Princess Lingyang. In the end, he met the four princesses. Among them,
I feel that Ma Jiu wanted to help Marquis Dongling from the very beginning."
Luo Yexuan nodded, feeling that there was some truth in it, and replied: "Perhaps there is such a meaning. Marquis Dongling is Lingyang's uncle. Naturally, the first choice for this kind of thing is his own family. But why is Lingyang still there?
I figured it out and didn't get involved."
"But it's also possible that Princess Lingyang deliberately arranged for the two of them to meet?" Nalan Yanhua asked casually.
Luo Yexuan, however, shook his hand with extra confidence: "Haha, it's impossible. Lingyang and Anyang are the two children who make me most at ease. Lingyang has suffered a lot since he was a child, but he is still polite and kind when he grows up.
What's more important is that this child is very affectionate. The second prince-in-law and her childhood sweetheart were bedridden and have been together for ten years now. It can be said that they are pure and good."
Since His Majesty said so, Nalan Yanhua also kept silent.
Compared to the fourth princess who had a perverse temperament since she was a child, Princess Lingyang is indeed courteous and gentle. Moreover, she and the second prince-in-law have known each other since childhood, and their affection is obvious to all, and this cannot be faked.
... ... ...
It was a quiet night, and the lights were dimly lit all over Princess Anyang's mansion.
"Thank you princess for taking the trouble to catch me."
As soon as Dr. Li left, Xue Junyou moved his arms a few times on the bed and thanked Anyang.
Luo Junyue's face was a little gloomy. During the day, the little girl's background was still unclear. After taking over the case, her consort not only did not return home immediately, she actually went to the hospital again, and then took the Wang brothers and sisters.
Taken home.
After all, we had been together for a few days, and this time Xue Junyou could see some clues, so he winked at Yun Ni who was aside, moved his lips, and said silently: "Who is making our princess unhappy?
?”
Yun Ni also moved her lips: "Maybe it's your little sister Wang."
Xue Jun understood clearly, nodded, turned his attention to Anyang again, and explained: "I only treat Qin Qin as my own sister, and have no other feelings. The princess can rest assured about this... You
You are so beautiful, I wish I could consummate my marriage with you as soon as possible, so I don’t have time to worry about other people.”
"Really?" Hearing this, Luo Junyue's face turned slightly red. She had not heard such frivolous words for a long time.
Xue Junyou nodded: "Really."
After speaking, Xue Jun worked and touched Anyang, "Otherwise? Consider, let's get that ... that light or something, the small one will give yourself to you, and you too
It’s no better than being jealous all day long when meeting people.”
"No, no need to."
Seeing Xue Junyou's coming, Luo Junyue stood up from the stool and tried to hide. However, it was too late, and a pair of generous palms pinned her down on the stool again.
"What are you going to do... Ah!"
Luo Junyue only felt a pain in her body, but she didn't break free. Instead, she felt a little comfortable.
"Can I still eat you?" Xue Junyou stood behind Anyang, squeezing her shoulders and whispering.
The unexpected scene was indeed something Luo Junyue had not expected. Although the prince-in-law of the Great Entropy had no status, he had never seen someone who could take the initiative to do so.
"A dignified man, for serving his own woman like this, if you tell anyone, you will be laughed at. You have no manners that a gentleman should have." Luo Junyue said, but her heart felt warm.
"Eh! You can't talk about a man and a gentleman together." Xue Junyou immediately retorted, taking the opportunity to take a close look at the head and neck as white as snow.
Luo Junyue was completely unaware and asked softly: "Why can't we talk about it together?"
Xue Junyou said: "A real man is a real man, he does things openly and aboveboard, and does not follow the pedantic and old-fashioned poor rules. But a gentleman... ...sigh! Aren't you just shaking your head all day long, saying, don't look at anything inappropriate?"
Don’t listen to anything that’s inappropriate, don’t say anything that’s inappropriate, don’t do anything that’s inappropriate, call out...
"Hehe!" Luo Junyue chuckled, her face full of joy.
Although the scholars didn't like to hear what he said, it was still an appropriate description.
Luo Junyue had also accompanied her father to several royal banquets for the scholars who passed the scientific examinations. Those gentle and elegant top scholars were indeed like this. They did not dare to look at her, even when she spoke, they did not dare to look up.
She listens.
Having said that, my father once said that no matter whether he is a famous scholar or a nobleman, he cannot do without studying.
As the saying goes, only by reading thousands of books can you travel thousands of miles.
Thinking of this, Luo Junyue sighed lightly and said the same as when she asked Xue Junyou to go to school that day: "We can just talk about this in private as a couple, but we can't make a big deal outside.
speak."
Xue Junyou nodded: "Understood. In front of outsiders, I won't give you a shoulder rub or a pat on the back, princess."
"This... It's not necessary. You can figure it out on your own. I think you can pinch it better than Yun Ni." Luo Junyue's slightly red face showed a little show off.
In the past, during palace banquets, her royal sisters would show off their consorts all day long, and she had long wanted to show off.
But Yun Ni was dissatisfied. She glanced at the prince-in-law and said directly: "Who can handle it better than me... From what I see, the prince-son-in-law just wants to take the opportunity to touch the princess's body.
After all, you are still young and greedy for beauty."
"Tsk!" Xue Junyou immediately gave Yun Ni a fierce wink. Obviously, his slightly dirty thoughts were seen.
"Is this really true?" Before Xue Junyou could explain, Luo Junyue raised her head and asked with a slight frown.
Xue Junyou smiled bitterly: "How could it be? I really feel that the princess has been running around for me these days. There is really nothing I can thank you for. I can help you relax and at least have a good sleep."
After saying that, Xue Junyou pinched his shoulders with both hands instead of one. With lightning speed, he quickly took out a banknote and threw it to Yun Ni. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "As for Yun Ni,
What you said is that she is just jealous of me, this little girl! She is so jealous!"
Yun Ni made a soft hum and pouted, lowered her eyes and opened the banknote, her eyes immediately lit up, and she said with a smile: "Oh! Okay, I admit that I am jealous of the Prince Consort, please forgive me, Princess."
Although Luo Junyue didn't know why Yun Ni changed as she said, she still felt that she had pinched enough, so she stood up, stretched her waist comfortably, and said: "Okay, okay, Prince-in-law, you pinched very well.
You will definitely have a good sleep too.”
"Oh um... Are you going back to the dormitory?" Xue Junyou stopped his hand in despair, as if the five thousand taels he had just thrown were wasted in an instant.
Luo Junyue nodded, then reminded: "After all, I have to get up early to have dinner with you tomorrow."
"Get up early? Why?" Xue Junyou asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Originally, he planned to have a good sleep tomorrow and wake up naturally. After lying on straw for a few days, he already wanted to lie down on a soft bedding and have a good sleep.
Seeing that Xue Junyou didn't seem to know, Luo Junyue then remembered that she had forgotten to mention it, so she said, "Didn't we agree before that you should go to Junde Academy to learn how a gentleman should be?"
Xue Junyou suddenly realized that there seemed to be such a thing. It was all the fault of that bastard Ma Jiu for delaying his schooling!
However, when it comes to academies, it seems that Xue Junyou has never attended an ancient school. After all, he is a businessman and is not qualified to be taught and solved.
Thinking of the environment there, it must be like spring singing and summer strings, which makes readers yearn for it.
