God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1002 The Great Reversal

Seeing more than 30 witnesses, they all fell to their knees on the ground, shouting incessantly.

Brothers Lu Mingan and Lu Mingyu were stunned for a moment.

Especially Lu Mingyu.

He had already guessed that Du He was not reconciled, and would definitely interrogate the matter in person today, so the arrangement was made overnight last night. Not only did he give these people a generous sum of compensation, but he also threatened these people with kindness and majesty.

This group of people did promise well, not to mention the county government of Huxian County, even if they went to Jingzhao Mansion or Chang'an City, they would insist that it was Jinyang Princess Du Jinwei who ordered the brown bear to commit murder in the street.

But why has everything changed now?

Lu Ming'an's face was gloomy, and he asked in a low voice, "Second brother, what's going on?"

Lu Mingyu looked confused: "Brother, I... I don't know!"

Snapped.

Du He slapped the gavel, and said loudly, "Shut up!"

Swish.

In the noisy lobby, suddenly quiet down.

Only then did Du He ask: "According to what you said, this matter is not that Princess Jinyang instigated the brown bear to hurt people for no reason, but something else hidden?"

A bold old man hurriedly got down on the ground and stammered, "Gong Mingjian of Huyi County, this is because Mr. Lu You forcibly bought the girl who sold her body to bury her father with a penny, but the girl refused. Then he was beaten by Mr. Lu You. Princess Jinyang couldn't see it, so he came to help. If Princess Jinyang ordered the brown bear to beat someone, that's nothing. I just saw a bear running out of nowhere. I know...Besides, the little one has lived for so many years, and has seen many bears, but they are all animals, how could he listen to people's words."

Du He asked with a smile: "If you say that, you don't believe that the bastard was ordered by Princess Jinyang?"

"Exactly!" The old man nodded.

Others echoed: "Your Majesty Huyi, you have to investigate carefully. The Lord of Jinyang is just a child, how could he instruct a bear to beat someone!"

"This matter, absolutely not!"

"I can testify!"

"Me too!"

Everyone is very enthusiastic.

Du He asked again: "You guys, dare to be responsible for your own words, sign and pledge, if there is half a sentence false, that is a serious crime."

"willing!"

"We do!"

"Me too!"

Everyone nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Wei Shuyu was dumbfounded.

Yesterday, he had interrogated these witnesses, and these guys insisted that Du Jinwei beat them on purpose.

Today, there is a big reversal.

Du He was stunned.

interesting!
He even wondered if these guys were bought by him, how could they cooperate so seamlessly?
He turned his head and looked at the two Lu brothers with a half-smile.

"Patriarch Lu, you have also seen it. The fact is that your son committed crimes in the street. Princess Jinyang is just killing harm for the people. There are so many witnesses, all of whom are willing to be responsible for their words and deeds. What else can you say?"

Lu Mingan did not speak.

But Lu Mingyu said: "Mr. Du, these unscrupulous people, yesterday and today's rhetoric are completely different, and they are not credible at all. Maybe they were bought by someone!"

Seeing this, the old man stood up suddenly, pointed at Lu Mingyu, and said loudly: "Second Lord Lu, I... know you, Lord Huyi, last night, he brought someone to the second child's house and gave it to the second child. Eryi Guanqian, let the little old one identify the princess of Jinyang in the county government today for beating someone for no reason. If the villain refuses to agree, he will break the villain's legs and send him to the south to be a beggar... Please help the little old man Second call the shots!"

"Yes, it was him last night!"

"He was the one who gave us the money and asked us to identify him."

All of a sudden, several people got up and glared at Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu shouted angrily: "You... how dare you spout blood, okay, okay, I, Lu Mingyu, remember you, you all wait for me!"

The old man sneered and said, "Second Master Lu, the little one knows that you, the Lu family, are rich and powerful, but we are not afraid of you. Hmph, I think back then, we were living on the streets of Hu County with little clothes and food. To feed our hunger, we had no choice but to wait for death. It was the Duke of Huyi who came to Hu County, he implemented the three major policies, he gave us a chance to survive, and then he led everyone to make money. Let us live a better life...Even if we die, we will not scold Princess Jinyang!"

"Yes, we are not afraid of death!"

"If Mrs. Lu has the guts, just beat me to death!"

"The Duke of Huyi County is my reincarnated parent. Whoever dares to fight against him will have trouble with me!"

"Lu Shi is shameless!"

"shameless……"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and said one after another.

This is the hearts of the people!
Back then, when these refugees lived on the streets, they couldn't even save their lives.

It was Du He who gave them a chance to survive and let them live a good life.

These simple people don't have the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in their hearts, and they don't have the current Majesty, but they have Du He.

Lu Ming'an stood up abruptly, and looked at Du He: "Mr. Du, these unscrupulous people don't know what's good or bad, and turn black and white. I don't accept this matter!"

Du He sneered and said, "Patriarch Lu, you want to make a big fuss, to Jingzhao Mansion, to Chang'an City, right?"

"Humph!"

Lu Mingan snorted coldly, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

But Du He suddenly laughed: "There is one more thing, I forgot to tell you, I am not the one who is trying this case today, I, Du He, am just a son-in-law, without any official position, how can I try this case... ...You two adults, you can come out and announce the result!"

He shouted into the back hall.

Everyone was stunned.

Immediately, two middle-aged men came out from the back hall.

It is Wei Ting, the minister of Dali Temple, and Wei Zheng, the imperial historian.

Both of them were known for their ruthlessness and selflessness in the court.

Lu Mingan and Lu Mingyu's complexions suddenly changed, and they had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Wei Ting stepped forward, looked at the two Lu brothers, and said coldly: "This official is Wei Ting, Minister of Dali Temple. Today, I was entrusted by Prince Du to hear the murder case of Princess Jinyang. The facts are already clear, Lu You misbehaved, beat people in the street, forced to buy civilian girls, the crime is unforgivable, he was immediately arrested and brought to justice, although Princess Jinyang helped others out of righteousness, he also hurt others, so he was arrested together Now, the two will be tried by Wei Shuyu, magistrate of Hu County, and punished according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

As he said, Wei Ting looked at the Lu brothers: "Patriarch Lu, are you satisfied with what I said? If you are not satisfied, you can go to Jingzhao Mansion or even the capital to tell them that today, not only are there so many witnesses present, There is also Lord Wei to witness."

Lu Mingyu was about to rely on his mouth, but was stopped by Lu Mingan's eyes.

Lu Ming'an said: "Master Wei is impartial and selfless, and the grassroots have heard of it for a long time. However, since this matter has been found out, it was all wrong. Now, his life and death are uncertain. Please be sympathetic to the grassroots and stop pursuing this matter. As for The fact that the princess of Jinyang instigated Xiong to beat people is purely false, and the grassroots are willing to spend a lot of money to appease the girl who sold her body to bury her father, please learn from me!"
