Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Chapter 335

"No hurries?"

Mrs. Lin sneered again and again: "My lords may have forgotten that six years ago, the two heads of the Ye family were called in for questioning in the same way, and they were questioned to death. It's all over."

The onlookers suddenly started whispering, including many low-level officials in the Ministry of Punishment who didn't know the details, and asked their colleagues in low voices.

What's more, the later officials were even more ignorant.

Xu Yuanwailang, who was also unaware, suddenly stopped in his tracks, but he was frightened into a cold sweat by the sentence of Yuanwailang who was blamed, as if he saw that the next yuanwailang who was blamed was himself.

"May I ask everyone, if it is your family members, are you in a hurry? What's more, Luo Shizi of the Changping Marquis Mansion is also involved. The Ministry of Punishment is so secretive. Could it be that there is something shady about it?"

Mrs. Lin is a woman, even if she speaks inappropriately, it will not affect the Hou family, at worst, the Hou master will just say that women have no knowledge.

But almost everyone in the punishment department already knew that this woman was Mrs. Yong'an Hou, and beside her was Mrs. Yong'an Hou Shizi. These two people came in person, and their weight was not low.

The reputation of Yong'an Hou's beloved wife is well known in the capital, and Yong'an Hou's mansion is a family of military generals, and his temper is always stronger. If anyone offends Yong'an Hou's wife, he dare not think about the consequences.

And the other lady with an elegant posture is the daughter-in-law of a century-old family in Qingping County.

"Then you should go in and say, what is the trouble here?" The official said, still persuading them to go into the yamen.He was anxious, why didn't Yuanwai Lang come?
Yin Tao walked over weakly, raised his arms, and said: "We are timid, afraid that we won't be able to get out after entering."

The people behind shouted: "The Ye family is really stingy. Since they said to redeem people with money, how can they give so much? It's not like your family has no money. I'm afraid you won't be willing to give money to redeem your second master, right? If you take out a thousand taels Gold, ten thousand taels of silver, do you think the Ministry of Punishment will let you go?"

"Yes, yes, just give the money. The Criminal Department has always been like this. If you give enough money, you will release the person. However, there is no guarantee that it will be life or death, or it will be just a broken hand and a few legs!"

Those people hid in the crowd and shouted, and the people in the punishment department didn't know who they were.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the audience, some refuted, some reprimanded, and some agreed.

Seeing that they couldn't control the situation, the people from the Ministry of Punishment couldn't control the situation, and their yelling was covered up. They turned around and grabbed Xu Yuanwailang who was about to turn around and run away.

They all breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the stiff Xu Yuanwailang forward, and then hurriedly introduced: "This is our Mr. Yuanwailang. Yesterday's case was also supervised by Xu Yuanwailang. He knows the whole story best."

As soon as Xu Yuanwailang turned around, everyone behind him took two steps back, leaving him alone to face the Ye family and the two unprovoked wives.

After listening to the other party's introduction, Yin Tao shrank her fingers slightly, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said to the Lin family: "Eldest lady, please stand aside later, I'll come!"

Mrs. Lin knew her better, so she pulled her daughter-in-law back a few steps when she heard the words, and she didn't stop until she was not far from the crowd.

Yin Tao straightened her clothes, took two steps forward, looked straight at Xu Yuanwailang, and said, "Excuse me, my lord, what crimes have been convicted of my husband?"

Xu Yuanwailang was embarrassed and regretted that he should have slipped away earlier, but he forced a smile and said, "Mrs. Ye, our criminal department has always handled cases in an open and aboveboard manner. It was the day when someone testified that the crime was committed. Master Ye made arrangements in advance. Premeditatedly lure Prince Luo to come, and then want to kill him."

"Kill him? But isn't Luo Shizi good?"

Yin Tao said again: "If your lord has read the file, you will know that everyone around Luo Shizi is dead, and it is easy for us to kill Luo Xinfeng. However, my husband not only did not kill him because of personal hatred, but saved him and even sent him away. Report the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Xu Yuanwailang was a little bit wronged by the words, and his face turned red for a while, and he didn't know how to refute.

But Yin Tao didn't give him time to refute and think, and immediately asked aggressively: "Since your lord is talking about witnesses? I was there that day, and I am also a witness. Dare I ask you to let this witness confront me? As long as there is a word, I will If you can’t refute, I’ll leave immediately, and my husband will do as you please.”

The words are crisp, and the request is not too much. It is just to confront the witness in public, not to meet the prisoner. What can't be agreed?

If he refuses to agree again, he is afraid that the Ministry of Punishment will be convicted of disregarding human life and colluding with powerful forces to frame court officials. This will really be infamous for thousands of years.

Xu Yuanwailang hurriedly said: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. In this way, everyone, go in and we will try Commander Ye's case immediately, okay?"

Yin Tao shook her head: "We dare not go in, and please ask your lord to try the case here. Whether my husband is guilty or not is obvious to all. If my husband really committed a crime, we will not say a word and kowtow to everyone immediately." apologize!"

Xu Yuanwailang was naturally unwilling, but he heard the commotion behind him, demanding an open trial.

Lin Chongmao arrived with his people, leaned close to Zhang Huaisheng, and asked about the situation in a low voice, Zhang Huaisheng said coldly.

"I want to see if the officials of the Ministry of Punishment can cover the sky with one hand. This is the Ministry of Punishment, one of the six departments of the imperial court, under the feet of the emperor. It is so filthy! How did these people become pillars of the imperial court?"

Lin Chongmao looked around and was very worried about this brother's upright temper. However, if you meet such a person, you don't have to worry about being plotted behind his back.

So, he also smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, let's look behind, the Ministry of Punishment can't cover the sky."

When Zhang Huaisheng turned his head, he saw many scholars rushing over, and then whispered to each other about the situation inside.

He was startled, and asked Lin Chongmao: "Brother Lin, what is this?"

Lin Chongmao didn't blame Zhang Huaisheng for his rudeness in the other courtyard, but said, "Brother Zhang, I'll let everyone go back and inform everyone. I just said that there is a lot of excitement in the Ministry of Punishment today. Anyone who wants to come can come and see."

"So simple?" Zhang Huaisheng frowned in confusion.

"It's so simple. If there is excitement elsewhere, people may not be interested, but the excitement in the Criminal Department can be so simple? It must be related to the case, and it is not a small case of stealing chickens and dogs."

Lin Chongmao explained it very clearly, and Zhang Huaisheng understood it as soon as he thought about it. There is great strength in numbers.

I couldn't help admiring Lin Chongmao's wit. It seemed that he came over so rashly that it really didn't work.

Thinking of his previous recklessness, he cupped his hands and apologized to Lin Chongmao earnestly. Lin Chongmao waved his hand to express his indifference, but he really felt at ease.

Seeing that there were more and more scholars, the Criminal Ministry frowned.

They are not afraid of officials, officials have too many scruples, but they are extremely cautious in doing things; they are not afraid of ordinary people, who are unarmed, what kind of waves can they cause?
However, they are afraid of scholars, especially a group of scholars.

Before these people became officials, they were all proud, but after being officials for a long time, they slowly bent down. Naturally, there are some who would rather die than bend, and they will not live for long.

Xu Yuanwailang was about to break out in a cold sweat: "Second Mrs. Ye, don't get excited. I really can't decide this matter. Please wait a little while. I'll ask someone to invite Mrs. Chen, the right servant, to preside over it?"

Then, he turned around and looked at the person who pushed him before, and told him to invite Mr. Chen quickly. The man was taken aback, gritted his teeth and turned around, knowing that Xu Yuanwailang was taking revenge on him. He went in and called Mr. Chen. It's the same thing, but it's certain to be scolded.
