Chapter 118

Not long after, there was the sound of horseshoes flying in the street, as well as the clang of weapons.

The onlookers were driven away by the officers and soldiers of the brigade, so they could only crowd on both sides of the street and continue to watch.

When the ladies saw the officers and soldiers coming, they seemed to grasp the straw of life-saving, and went up to ask for help.

The leading officers and soldiers were taken aback when they saw the officials and wives with "scorched" complexions.

"Madam Wang, what happened?"

"She," Mrs. Wang pointed at Gu Mingshu angrily, "spreading rumors and insulting our Qingyu, arrest him quickly."

The officers and soldiers came here with the badge of King Hailing, but they didn't see Qin Yue at this time, thinking that it was inconvenient for him to show up, and they secretly helped these wives.

After all, now that Qin Yue and the adults are officials in the court, it is also good for him to help the people next to them.

"Madams, then I ask you to come with us. In the courtroom, I hope you will point out the sinner's crime."

The leader of the officers and soldiers said, and asked the officers and soldiers to protect the wives, together with Gu Mingshu and Ruan Meiniang, escorted them to Jingzhao Mansion.

Qin Yue remained calm, and secretly followed the four servant girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Master Luo of Jingzhao Mansion, when he learned that the wife of the minister of rites was humiliated in the street, he immediately raised the case and promoted him.

A group of wives, although their husbands are high-ranking officials, but most of them have their own orders, and even some of them are not as good as the governor of Jingzhao.

Seeing Mr. Jingzhao Mansion, all the wives knelt down and begged for justice.

"Lord Luo, this wild man humiliated us in broad daylight, and he must be sentenced to death. If your lord can't handle it fairly, I'm afraid my husband won't let it go easily." Mrs. Luo opened her mouth and offered her husband the position of minister of rites to Luo. Adult stress.

Master Luo coughed secretly, and said: "I will follow the laws of Dazhao, handle it impartially, and will never spare lawbreakers lightly. In broad daylight, there is someone so bold at the feet of the Son of Heaven. If I don't strictly investigate, how can I be worthy of it?" Your Majesty."

Master Luo shouted loudly, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the "man" who caused the accident was standing with his lips pursed and refused to kneel. He slapped the gavel and said angrily: "Bold and unreasonable, you will not kneel when you see this official."

The corner of Gu Mingshu's mouth twitched, "My lord, according to the Jokhang law, I don't need to kneel to you. Instead, you should give me a chair. I don't want a bamboo chair, cool."

Master Luo was taken aback for a moment, then he blew his beard and stared angrily.

Looking at the capital, he knew almost all the men who didn't need to kneel when entering the court of Jingzhao Mansion. This young man was neither a prince nor a prince, so there was no reason not to kneel.

"Bold, who are you, how dare you speak wild words in the courtroom." Lord Luo said angrily.

Gu Mingshu stepped forward and said: "I don't know what my identity is. Excuse me, my lord, what is the identity of the second-rank imperial order issued by the emperor?"

"What, what? Order of the second grade?" Master Luo stammered for a moment.

The ladies kneeling in the hall also looked at Gu Mingshu in astonishment.

Master Luo looked at Gu Mingshu, suddenly realized, slapped the gavel, and said angrily: "How dare you pretend to be a royal order. You dare to pretend to be a man or a woman even if you can't tell whether you are a man or a woman. Come here, give me I hit."

Just as Master Luo drew the lottery, Gu Mingshu made a "slow" gesture, took out a silk handkerchief, and wiped it on his face.

After wiping it a few times, he took off his coat majestically, revealing the girl's outfit inside, and continued to wipe his face.

Now, everyone can see clearly.This is not a beautiful man with delicate features, he is clearly a beautiful woman disguised as a man.

"Princess Qin Gu of Hailing, I have met your lord." Gu Mingshu bowed slightly to salute.

When Master Luo saw it, his courage became cold. He shook his hand on the stick and knocked the stick over the desk.

His own daughter-in-law was still beaten by the master, and she was still unable to get off the bed.Now she is the emperor's imperial order, if she is really punished, it is tantamount to contempt for the power of heaven and disrespect to the emperor, which is a serious crime of beheading.

Not letting him kneel down to her is already a kindness from her.

Master Luo couldn't sit still any longer, hurriedly went down to the hall, cupped his hands and bowed, "I have met the princess. I didn't know the identity of the princess just now. I offended you so much. I also ask the princess to forgive me."

Gu Mingshu hummed, "Give me a chair, and then, you can have a fair trial."

"Yes!"

Master Luo hurriedly asked someone to bring a chair to Gu Mingshu, served tea again, and sat down behind the desk after saluting again.

Neither party can offend, and Master Luo's attitude in adjudicating the case has also changed accordingly.

Before, he wanted to settle the case sternly, but now, he can only adjust it tenderly, and carefully ask about the antecedent of the incident. Between his words, there is a hope of "whether this is a misunderstanding".

How could the wives have imagined that the little slut who can control the "true qualities" of men to death is actually the princess Gu Mingshu they are mocking and insulting.

For a moment, none of them knew what to say.

Among those kneeling in the hall, Ruan Meiniang was the most anxious and resentful.

Originally, her plan was perfect and the effect was super strong, but Gu Mingshu was like her nemesis, and she came out at such a time.

She can justify other things, she took Gu Mingshu's arm and said it was her fault.

It was originally a fight for favor between the front and the side, but now it is in court, and I really don't know how to deal with it.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Master Luo looked embarrassed, and could only look at Gu Mingshu cautiously.

"My lord, you are all noble people, and suddenly you are arguing on the street. What kind of misunderstanding is there, let's talk about it?"

Gu Mingshu glanced coldly over the wives, no one dared to look up and meet her gaze.

"Since you don't say anything, let me say it." Gu Mingshu sat on the chair, the princess was full of momentum. "My lord, the reason why I teased these ladies is because they gathered together to spread rumors about the side concubine of King Hailing."

Lord Luo's eyes flicked past Ruan Meiniang, and he motioned for Gu Mingshu to continue.

"Why side concubine Ruan wanted to pawn, I don't know. But they ridiculed her and asked her to go to Zuichun Tower to make money. This is clearly calling Hailing Palace a brothel." Gu Mingshu said.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help arguing, "We didn't say that Hailing Prince's Mansion is a brothel. We didn't ask her to list it, it was just... just a suggestion. And she was born in a brothel."

Master Luo frowned, with a look of embarrassment.

Of course, he knew about Ruan Meiniang's background.The wives make presumptuous self-assessments, which are naturally wrong, but what they say is not false.

As for the accusation of calling Hailing Prince's Mansion a brothel, it sounds like it was imposed on them, but it cannot be denied that it may imply this meaning.

Hard to break!

Gu Mingshu's complexion suddenly became majestic, and said: "Isn't this calling me a bustard and calling my prince a wanderer? Lord Luo, what is the crime for slandering and insulting the prince and concubine of the current dynasty?"

Master Luo hurriedly said: "If it is light, it will be punished with palming and whipping, and if it is serious, it will be imprisoned."

There was a little hissing from the ladies.If this really sent them to prison, then this life would really be ruined.

They are used to being honorable, and it is impossible for them to go to a prison that is so dirty and miserable.

Gu Mingshu picked up the teacup and took a small sip. When she put down the teacup, she deliberately let it hit the sound, which made the wives tremble in fright.

"Although they were the ones who insulted me first, I did tease them just now. The wives are noble and should not be tortured. I think the punishment of slapping and whipping can be spared." Gu Mingshu said.

The ladies were astonished and looked up at Gu Mingshu.They never imagined that she would choose to show mercy to them.

Master Luo wiped his forehead secretly, his heart was full of joy, and he said it was very good.

"There are a lot of princesses and concubines, and the officials admire them."

Gu Mingshu narrowed his eyes and said: "Punishment can be waived, but punishment must be punished. I think that's it. Let them each accompany me for 100 taels."

Master Luo heard the words, and hurriedly said: "What the concubine said is very true. In this way, the law of Dazhao is not in vain, and the extrajudicial benevolence is fully displayed. Ladies and gentlemen, then each of you will compensate the concubine 100 taels of silver. Case closed.
