【041】Evil slaves and deceitful masters should be punished with sticks!
"Please let me know."
Cuizhu leaned down, because his hands were tied behind his back, so he could only touch his forehead to the ground.
"Early this morning, my servant went to help the young lady change her clothes and prepare to pay homage to my uncle."
"But the young lady is frowning. It turns out that she forgot the time and made an appointment with her friends to go out to the lake today."
"Slave... When I saw that the young lady was upset, I asked the young lady to go and have fun on her own. I asked her to pretend to do the ceremony of paying homage to the church..."
"Then why didn't you pretend to be the bride?"
Someone asked loudly.
Even if Cuizhu puts on bridal clothes and covers her head, at least it will leave some room for Su Ping.
But bringing several dead objects to worship is a great shame and humiliation for anyone.
"My slave... This slave has a grudge against Su Ping..."
Cuizhu seemed to be frightened, and her voice began to tremble, "A while ago, relying on the favor of the master, and seeing that Su Ping was from a humble background, I verbally abused Su Ping and was slapped by him."
"After the young lady slipped out of the house, in order to avenge herself, the slave did not pretend to be a bride as she had said to the young lady, but brought out the phoenix crown and harem."
"The purpose is to retaliate against Su Ping!"
Having said this, Cuizhu didn't know where she got the strength to stand up straight. Her eyes were full of deep-seated resentment, and she didn't seem to be faking it at all.
"A mere mountain man from Suping is not worthy of my young lady at all!"
"I just want to humiliate him in front of everyone, let him know how much he weighs, and where to go back to where he came from!"
"Not only that, I also spread rumors outside that Su Ping is uneducated, despicable, shameless, idle all day long, and only does random things based on kindness."
"Hahahahaha!!!"
Cuizhu laughed maniacally, "You don't know, Su Ping's expression when he reacted... was so beautiful!"
"Hahaha, a pariah like him deserves to die!"
"I will definitely kill him, kill him, kill him...!!"
"shut up!!"
Zhou pointed at Cuizhu, her face was pale and her whole body was shaking: "Crazy, crazy!"
Looking at this scene, everyone was thoughtful.
Cuizhu's rhetoric is very reasonable.
Why has Su Ping been here for so long and only recently have despicable rumors about him surfaced?
Why is Su Ping, despite his obvious talent, being described as unlearned, despicable and shameless?
Why was Su Ping able to write such sad and angry poems?
If there is an evil slave who is proud of his favor and is deliberately targeting him.
Then all this is explained.
After understanding this, everyone no longer cared about the image of high-ranking officials and started to curse.
"Bad maid!"
"Damn thing!"
"How dare you slander Xiao Shijun?"
"Such evil slaves deserve to die!"
"..."
The most extreme one among them is none other than the Ninth Prince.
"It's ridiculous that this prince claims to have the ability to know people, but he was deceived by a mere evil slave and misunderstood Brother Su!"
The Ninth Prince stepped forward directly and kicked Cuizhu to the ground, "Fortunately, Brother Su is already fine, otherwise even being cut into pieces with a thousand cuts wouldn't be able to offset half of your guilt. Even this prince would have to blame himself."
This kind of behavior that is disgraceful to the royal family does not seem to be inappropriate in the eyes of everyone.
Everyone knows that the Ninth Prince Lu Chengxu has been good at poetry since he was a child, and Su Ping just happened to write such a masterpiece.
The two were supposed to be close friends, but there was a rift between them because of rumors.
This made the Ninth Prince not angry.
"Mrs. Crown Prince!"
The Ninth Prince turned around and looked at Zhou, "Although I am an outsider, I have to ask one more question at this time, how do you plan to deal with this evil slave?"
"this……"
Anxiety flashed in Zhou's eyes, and she gritted her teeth after a moment, "According to family rules, if a slave misleads his master, he will be killed with a stick."
When the opportunity came to ease the relationship with Su Ping, a group of officials immediately jumped out and said with indignation: "Madam, please follow the family law!"
Mrs. Zhou hesitated for a moment again, then as if her strength had been drained, her voice became a little softer: "Come here, enforce the family law."
"yes!"
Soon, strong servants came carrying torture sticks and benches.
Screams followed.
As if she couldn't bear it, Zhou lowered her head to avoid this scene.
Cuizhu was just a maid, one year younger than Su Ping. Although she was not thin, she could not withstand the beating of the stick. After being beaten for more than a dozen times, she completely lost her voice.
"My lords, you are laughing today."
Mrs. Zhou was supported by the maid and bowed slightly, "You fool, I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry."
Everyone calmed down and returned the favor one after another.
After many twists and turns, the truth is now revealed, the evil slave has been executed, and Su Ping's reputation will gradually get back on track.
This incident seems to have just passed.
And just as everyone turned around to leave, they suddenly saw two people walking in from outside the courtyard.
One was Luo Rong, the young minister of Dali Temple who was the first to leave.
The other one was wearing a red python robe and a seven-beam golden crown.
Fortunately for Luo Rong, no matter how good or bad the relationship is or what the faction is, at least everyone is familiar with him.
But when they saw the man in red, all the powerful people's pupils shrank in unison.
He is a man in his fifties, with a white face and no beard, sinister facial features, and eyes as sharp as poisonous snakes.
"Hey, everyone is here?"
The man in the python robe put his hands in his sleeves and greeted everyone with a smile. His voice was sharp and smooth, which made people feel goosebumps.
"I have seen the lady in red."
Everyone bowed their hands, but their expressions were not very good.
The man in the python robe was named Jia Hongyi. He was the chief eunuch in charge of the ceremonial function of the dynasty and was commonly known as the internal minister.
Holding in his hand the blood-clothed guard, the yamen directly under Emperor Qing, he could directly drive the guards to patrol and arrest, which can be said to be a powerful force.
The most terrifying thing is that this person is extremely powerful, but no one knows what path he takes.
Not like martial arts, but capable of competing with the seventh-level martial arts masters of the Dayu Dynasty in Nanzhou.
Unlike Confucianism and Taoism, the classics, meanings, articles, poems and songs are all excellent.
"Jia Hongyi, why aren't you dead yet?"
Yin Dongqiu said solemnly.
Others are afraid of Jia Hongyi, but he is not.
There was even a faint urge to fight with him.
"Marquis Wu is joking. I'm still waiting to observe my filial piety for you. Isn't it a good life to support me?"
Jia Hongyi was not angry at all.
Yin Dongqiu was disgusted, as if he had eaten a bowl of maggots, and he was about to take action with a dark face.
Wen Daoyuan pulled him and said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Jia is here, but does your Majesty have any instructions?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Jia Hongyi with stern expressions.
Logically speaking, oral edicts are of a much lower level than imperial edicts.
But it depends on who is delivering the oral message.
The imperial edict can also be delayed, and it can be violated temporarily.
But the oral instruction brought by Jia Hongyi means that there is absolutely no room for maneuver in this matter. If you violate it, you will have to go to the Xueyiwei Prison for a while.
The blood-clad guards don't need to have any solid evidence to arrest someone.
"Still Wen Sheng's wise eyes."
Jia Hongyi's expression became serious, "Everyone, please listen to your Majesty's instructions."
"I will respectfully listen to the holy teachings."
Everyone bowed down and bowed down.
"Your Majesty said: All ministers must keep silent about the matters here."
