The princess is beautiful and Ziye

Chapter 166 Exposure
Just as Sheng Fuqing took a rest, there was a commotion outside.

He was about to get up and ask what happened, when someone knocked on the door and said in a panic: "It's not good, my lord! Someone broke in from outside!"

Sheng Fu frowned and got off the bed, and opened the door impatiently.

I saw the servants in his courtyard standing at the door profusely with sweat, "Master... Your lord! A group of officers and soldiers came outside, who are said to be from the Ministry of Punishment."

Sheng Fuqing's sleepy bugs ran away all at once.

"What did you say?! Someone from the Ministry of Punishment is here? Where are they!"

The servant in front of him was panting, and his words were inconsistent, Sheng Fuqing pushed him away impatiently, and ran to the front yard.

Unexpectedly, just halfway through the run, they heard a scream like a slaughtered pig in the corridor.

"Who are you! Why do you arrest me without proof! Let me go! Qinger!! Qinger!!"

Sheng Fuqing broke out in a cold sweat from fright, his foot that was about to step forward, but at this moment it seemed to be stuck to the ground by something, making him unable to move even a single step.

Sheng Fuqing thought a lot in his mind, he felt something was wrong, turned around and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, as well as the sound of armor colliding.

"stop!"

A group of officers and soldiers swarmed up and surrounded him.

Sheng Fu pretended to be calm, looked at the officers and soldiers in front of him and said, "It's so late, what are you doing trespassing on my mansion?"

"Mr. Sheng, you should go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and ask Lord Shangshu. The subordinates just arrest people."

The officers and soldiers raised their hands, "Take him to the Ministry of Punishment!"

Naturally, Sheng Fuqing didn't want to be taken away, and shouted while struggling: "What qualifications do you have to arrest me! Let go!"

However, his struggle was useless, and several officers and soldiers still arrested him and Sheng's mother, and escorted them all the way to the Ministry of Punishment.

At that time, in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was fairly neatly dressed, but it could be seen from the bloodshot eyes that he acted hastily.

Gu Qing, Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion, and Lu Yuan, Minister of Dali Temple, were also there. After listening to the words of the officers and soldiers, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment pondered for a while, and then said:

"If what she said is true, it's a big deal."

After all, who doesn't know that Sheng Fuqing once discussed marriage with the princess, although for some reason Sheng Fuqing annoyed His Majesty and ruined the marriage, but he was also a candidate for the son-in-law.

If this matter is true, then the emperor was mistaken and almost gave his daughter such a bastard.

Gu Qing said: "So this matter must be investigated. It is best if Sheng Fuqing is innocent, if he really did such a thing..."

The three looked at each other, tacit understanding.

Lu Yuan sighed and said, "But that woman changed her mind when she heard that she was in the Ministry of Punishment. She said that she was just dizzy for a while, and then came up with this method of framing the master..."

Gu Qing sneered and took a sip of tea, "Don't we see this kind of trick too often? It's just one of the accomplices, and I'm afraid of being implicated."

"I can't tolerate her changing her words or not. This matter will only happen. It must be investigated to the end."

The Secretary of the Criminal Ministry said: "First trial tonight, I will organize this matter into a memorial, and ask Your Majesty to deal with it tomorrow."

Not long after, all the people involved in the incident arrived, and the officers and soldiers came to report to the three adults, and the three of them came to the court together.

This is the site of the Ministry of Punishment, so naturally the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment sits at the head, and the other two adults sit on both sides.

From left to right in the hall, Sheng Fuqing, Sheng Mu, Lu Momo, He Ming, and those gangsters invited by He Ming.

The atmosphere in the courtroom was majestic and oppressive. Those who pretended to be robbers were just a few gangsters and gamblers, and they were still young, so they couldn't stand this kind of battle.

As soon as the voice of going to the hall fell, several people shouted.

Pointing to He Ming, he said, "My lord! We were all hired! He is the one who really wants to kill people! He hired us to kill people!"

The others nodded, "Yes, yes! It was He Ming who hired us to kill! He said he wanted to kill an old woman who had no ability to resist, so that no one would find out in the middle of the night. He also gave us a lot of money! Yes He hires murderers to kill, my lord!"

"You farts!"

He Ming was sweating profusely, and forced himself to say: "I, I, I, I have never seen you! My lord! They wronged good people!"

"What wronged a good man! My lord, this is the money he gave us, and I still carry it with me!"

One of them took out a silver ingot from his pocket and offered it up.

The servants at the side handed over the silver ingots to the superiors, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment glanced at them and did not make a sound.

He Ming sneered and said, "Just take a silver ingot and slander me, you bastards are really brave! What evidence do you have to prove that I gave you that silver! It flowed out of our house again!"

The name of Shengfu will not be printed on the silver.

The gangsters were speechless, and wept and said, "He really gave it to the adults! Many people in the casino recognize his face!"

"And we don't know that old woman, how could we kill someone. Someone she knew must have a grudge against her, so he killed her!"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice had a headache from the noise.

That's not what matters now.

He raised his hand to stop the gangsters below, and said, "Shut up, all of you. We'll talk about your affairs later."

The yamen servants at the side stepped forward and dragged several people down.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice looked at Nanny Lu, and said in a serious tone: "Talk to the official about what you are suing. If you dare to conceal or tell a lie, be careful of your life."

Grandma Lu was frightened on the ground.

Mother Sheng's eyeballs are about to fall off.

In the presence of the three adults, she didn't dare to shout loudly, so she lowered her voice and cursed Mother Lu: "You heartless bastard! How did I treat you before! It's true that you made a mistake and I drove you away, but I It also gave you face, but you dare to make up such a lie to harm me, you...you will die!"

Sheng Fu knelt on the ground lightly, frowned to try to stay calm, and said, "Master Shangshu, there must be a misunderstanding about this matter. This nanny used to serve my mother, and she committed some crimes a few days ago. After serving for many years, I made up a pretense that her mother was seriously ill, and took the opportunity to send her away. But this nun felt resentful in her heart, and after what happened, she even made up lies to deceive adults, and used this to take revenge on my mother. These are all her tricks, my mother was wronged, this matter is just a misunderstanding."

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments snorted and said, "As expected of being the No. [-] man who won three prizes in a row, he has a sharp tongue, and in a few words, this matter has been completely wiped out."

Sheng Fuqing said very calmly: "If your lord doesn't believe it, then ask her again if she is talking nonsense."

As soon as Sheng Fuqing understood the whole situation, she roughly guessed that it was Mother Lu who angrily revealed the previous incident after she learned that Sheng's mother bought her to kill her.

But it doesn't matter, he and his mother arranged that matter very carefully, basically there is no flaw.

Ji Fu is honest and honest, that woman is as timid as an ant, and she loves him so deeply that she will never tell the truth.

Grandma Lu didn't have any solid evidence here, and she knew very well that exposing this matter would not do her any good, and she would more likely die with them.

Sheng Fuqing bet that Nanny Lu would not dare.

Nanny Lu is also regretting it now, she regrets so much that she can't wait to slap her mouth, why did she speak so fast back then, why did she just say it!
Is that something you can say casually!

Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs glanced at Nanny Lu, who trembled and said tremblingly, "My lord, forgive me, the woman was just confused for a while... that's why... the woman deserves to die!"

The first few adults did not speak, and after a while, Gu Qing said coolly: "Why did you leave Beijing in such a hasty and late night. What did you do? After all, you are a servant who has served for many years, and you are so anxious to send him away?"

Sheng's mother turned quickly in her mind, and found an excuse: "She hurt the woman with her hands and feet, that's why the woman sent her out of the capital."

"Where is the injury?"

"This... this... the woman fell down. It happened many days ago, and the injury on her body has healed. It's just that I feel unhappy when I think about it, so I..."

"Then what kind of grudge does the housekeeper in your house have with her? He actually hires a murderer to kill someone?"

He Ming opened his mouth to refute, but the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice sneered and said: "Don't treat me and the other two adults as fools. You and those gangsters can be found out with a little investigation. With their testimony, Even if you don't plead guilty, you can still plead guilty. You decide for yourself whether you want to suffer this board."

He Ming was sweating like rain, he fell on the ground and shivered, and kept scanning the two people around him from the corner of his eye.

Sheng's mother's heart also rose to her throat, and her fingers couldn't help curling up.

At this time, a yamen servant came in from the outside, "My lord, the coachman who fainted has woken up."

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishments nodded slightly, "Bring him up."

The coachman just woke up, he was still in a daze, and when he got into the hall, he caught a glimpse of Madam Lu standing still, his knees went limp and he knelt on the ground, and he took a long breath.

The coachman looked to the side and saw He Ming, his pupils shrank, he pushed back, pointed at He Ming excitedly and said to the superior, "My lord! It's him! It's the nanny he paid for the murder!"

The coachman kowtowed, "Caomin dare not tell lies. Caomin was in a daze when he fainted. Hearing what they said there, he wanted to kill Mother Lu. When Caomin wakes up and sees the body, he can go back and report to Yunyun." He also said It's He Ming who paid for the murder, let Mammy go down and seek revenge on He Ming."

The coachman said: "Ninety percent of this is done by the steward, my lord! Caomin remembered that the steward came to see him off before leaving. It was the steward who told Caomin to take the official road. He said that he would not be afraid to take the official road in the dead of night. I met a thief. Otherwise, the grassroots would have taken a shortcut to leave Beijing."

It was only when Sheng's mother knew about this, that she glared at He Ming from the corner of her eye.

This idiot, even after killing someone, he even let the coachman take the official route!Isn't Qing waiting to be discovered!
He Ming couldn't tell because he couldn't tell. Naturally, he did a good job of inquiring. No officers and soldiers passed by that official road at that hour on weekdays.

The purpose of attacking there is also to create the illusion that the gangsters are very courageous, so that these few thugs who usually do nothing on weekdays can only get out after the incident.

But they never expected that God would not stand on their side, and the official way of not leaving people on weekdays would come at that time!

Naturally, He Ming didn't want to admit it. If he could avoid going to prison, no one would want to send himself to prison.

He pursed his mouth tightly, and said in his heart that if there was no evidence, he would try to delay it.

Anyway, the matter of Sheng Fuqing hadn't come out yet, and he was an official, so no matter how good the minister of punishment was, he couldn't detain Sheng Fuqing without evidence.

When Sheng Fuqing goes out, he will definitely save himself.

He Ming thought for a long time, the coachman was still chattering there.

"Those bastards pretended to be robbers. The grass people and the nanny had nothing valuable on them. They thought they would be able to escape by showing filial piety. I didn't expect that these people came to kill the nanny. The nanny seemed to have a Some valuable things, but I don’t know why they refused to give them. The grass people thought that Mammy was asking for money, but who knew that Mammy wanted to give it later, but those people wanted to kill Mammy..."

The groom recounted everything that happened at that time.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice keenly extracted information from it and asked, "What is it?"

Mother Sheng looked at Nanny Lu resentfully, and scolded: "You lowly slave, you stole my lady's treasure!"

Mother Sheng didn't do what she thought, thinking that Nanny Lu had dirty hands and feet and stole some valuable jewelry from her and left.

Unexpectedly, when she glanced over, Nanny Lu was trembling with fear, she fell on the ground and said, "It's the old slave who stole some jewelry from Madam and left, there is nothing else..."

Mammy Lu reached into her bosom to take out the jewelry, and put the jewelry on the ground.

The yamen servants on the side sent it to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Sheng's mother didn't know what jewelry it was, but seeing that the style was very old, she thought she had worn enough of the bottom of the suitcase.

She spat at Nanny Lu, "Bad maid! It's right to drive you out! How dare you steal something, you're an idiot!"

Sheng Fuqing realized that something was wrong, Mammy Lu's reaction was too big.

If it is ordinary jewelry, is it afraid of becoming like this?
Sheng Fuqing was about to open his mouth, but none of the three adults above were blind.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice was looking at the jewelry, Gu Qing stood up and said: "Come on! Search her body again to see if there is anything else hidden!"

The yamen servant responded and carried Madam Lu up.

Mother Lu looked like a fish being held down on a cutting board, struggling excitedly, and said, "No more! Caomin only stole that piece of jewelry! What Caomin said is true!"

No matter how careless Sheng's mother was, she could see that something was wrong with Madam Lu.

She couldn't help but start to get scared, and looked at her son as if asking for help.

Sheng Fuqing clenched his fingers tightly, swallowing his saliva uncontrollably.

Several yamen servants ignored Madam Lu at all, and came back with a letter shortly after dragging her away.

"My lord, I found this from her bosom."

Mother Sheng's expression changed drastically when she saw the letter!

Isn't that the marriage letter hidden by her! !
She fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

In the hall, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments put down the old jewelry and unfolded the letter paper.

At first glance, it was actually a marriage letter.

Ji Shengping and Ji Fu!

Thinking of the nanny saying that her master's son was married, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment trembled!
evidence!
