The dark-bellied prime minister's cute wife

Chapter 178 Above the court
The night was getting darker quietly. At this time, the entire Jinling City was covered by wind and snow. People on the street were hurrying to avoid the severe weather from the blizzard. At this time, Duke Tang's mansion was already in chaos. Tang Yanran's room Everything in it smashed to the ground, her gaze was like a knife, anyone who saw it would die, the wind blew in from the window, the pink curtain fluttered with the wind, Mrs. Tang Guogong stood outside the door, so anxious that she didn't know what to do Good: "Yan'er! You are going to be the queen, so don't let it get you too busy. If you have anything you want to say, you can tell mother, and mother will uphold justice for you."

Tang Yanran opened the door, and the cold wind blew in.She also messed up her hair: "Justice? Mother! That bitch, how could it be Ronghe! How could it be Ronghe? She is a princess, so what am I? What am I? If I become Now that I’m the queen, I have to call her little sister. At the beginning, I said I wanted to get rid of her, but you said I couldn’t do anything about it. What about now? Now she’s become a phoenix!”

The Duke's wife was a little helpless: "Mother doesn't know her... She is actually a princess."

"Bah, look at her temperament, she looks like a beggar, what kind of princess is she! Mother, is the lawyer you hired useful? If I lose at that time, won't my reputation as a wise man be ruined? "Tang Yanran was a little worried about this, and when she thought about the downturn that day, she was full of anger.

"Did you really kill that Xiaotao? That's the prime minister's mansion there, why are you so restless?" Mrs. Guogong hated iron for steel.

"It's just a lowly slave, what are you so concerned about? Besides, no one has seen this matter except Zhiyue, and now Zhiyue is not in Jinling City, so what if they found out!" Tang Yanran was so confident Don't know where it came from either.

"If it doesn't work, you push this matter out. You just pretend that you don't know at all. When you go to court tomorrow, you must hold your breath. If you can't hold your breath, others will think that person is your fault!" Tang Guo After all, Mrs. Gong has a lot of experience, and she generally gives pointers to her.

The next day everyone went to the court early, because it was the princess of the current dynasty who sued the Duke of the current dynasty, and it was a minister who came to judge the case, and the young general and the eunuch beside the emperor listened to the case, so they all went to court together. Most of the people from Jinling City had arrived at that time. It can be said that the yamen was full of people. Tian Lanshan's group was surrounded by these ordinary people. Tian Lanshan was a little nervous for a while. Xintao stood behind Tian Lanshan, He tugged at her sleeve secretly, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, don't be nervous, you just need to leave the whole process to Lawyer Song."

"There are... so many people." Tian Lanshan lowered his eyes. There was still a coffin in this hall. After performing an on-the-spot autopsy, he ran back and said to Su Yunbo: "My lord, this good friend has passed away for more than half a month, and he was killed by the coffin." Strangled to death with a human belt and thrown into a well!"

Su Yunbo leaned lazily on the table, looking at Lawyer Song. Lawyer Song took a step forward and said to the lord: "My lord, this girl Xiao Tao was killed for no reason at the prime of her life, and now Her Royal Highness is in the same state. Sue Eldest Miss Tang for committing murder, and ask your lord to investigate the case..."

Tian Lanshan sat in a chair, staring at Lawyer Song!How could it be a servant to commit murder?It was clearly instructed by Tang Yanran!

Xintao pressed her hand, shook her head secretly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the general and this lawyer Song have passed the case. Your Highness can just hand over the case to Lawyer Song."

"But, it's a murderer..." Before Tian Lanshan finished speaking, Luxiu fell to her knees with a plop, and cried out with tears streaming down her face, "It's all the servant's fault. That's why I did this secretly, but the servant... the servant didn't expect that she would die, the servant was the one who pinched the servant's neck at the time, and the servant pulled the belt to tie her neck under the fight, but who expected Then...then she accidentally fell into the well, servant girl... the servant girl pulled on her belt, but she didn't hold it steady, so she fell into the well. Moved the stone to cover it. The servant confessed, all this is the fault of the servant, and the servant does not want the young lady to suffer this humiliation, so I ask the lord to come down."

No one present expected that this matter would pass so quickly. Tian Lanshan clenched her fists tightly and stared at Luxiu with a murderous intent in her eyes: "Why did you kill Xiaotao, Xiaotao?" She's so much younger than you, you won't even let her go..."

"It's Yanran's fault. It's Yanran's failure to take care of her servants. That's why she behaved like this. I also ask Master Su to apologise. Although Luxiu did something wrong, she was dedicated to me. Therefore, Yanran has nothing to say, Master Su. It's not good to punish Yanran, and Yanran herself will not forgive herself, such a fresh life is just gone, so Yanran asks to hit the top ten boards, and execute it immediately." Tang Yanran lowered her eyes and knelt down.

Tian Lanshan stood up abruptly, and said with a sneer, "Is that all for you if you say you want to commit murder? My lord, that's a life too!"

Tang Yanran knelt on the ground, sighed, her voice choked up: "I know you are angry, if you want to beat me up, you will never fight back. As for this girl Xiaotao, I will send someone to take care of her family." Okay The words were gentle and helpless, and there was a slight sadness in the whole person. Those who watched whispered to each other. In their eyes, Tian Lanshan became aggressive, but this Miss Tang Mansion was a woman who was taken by her own family. Serve the innocent people who have been cheated.

"The crime of murder should be exiled in the Southern Jin Dynasty. As for Ms. Tang, Ms. Tang strictly controlled her servants to commit murder, so she responded to Ms. Tang's request and gave twenty blows. Does Major General Dugu have any objections?" Su Yunbo looked aside and listened Dugu Zhan looked at the sky, saw her face flushed with anger, and thought in his heart, this girl must be very disappointed?A life, the last exile, and a [-]-year-old board were passed away, and Xiao Tao, after many years, who would remember her again.

"In this Southern Jin law, if the owner confesses and repents, it will be reduced to ten boards. After all, she is a young lady. I don't know if she can bear the ten boards. But this crime is a serious crime. It's not easy to get a reduction, Miss Tang, do you really want to take the [-] boards?" It was obvious that she was helping Tang Yanran, but in fact she was blocking Tang Yanran's way out.

Tian Lanshan sat on the chair and looked at her without saying a word. This silent appearance gave Tang Yanran, who had been thinking about answering all night, the illusion of cooking dumplings in a teapot. It was like taking an exam. You studied all night. However, the next day, the teacher did not test those contents.

"It is true that Yanran made a mistake first, and Yanran is willing to be punished." Now is the most critical moment for her to become a queen, and there is no room for any mistakes. Moreover, the people in Tang Guogong's mansion have already greeted her, so all she needs to do is gently Just hit it.

"Okay, I appreciate Miss Tang's courage the most, come and execute." Su Yunbo threw out the red-headed lottery in his hand, and Luxiu stood beside Tang Yanran like crazy, crying: "It's me It's my fault, it's all my fault, my lady didn't know it at all, my lord, hit me if you want to hit me, it's my fault, miss, I'm sorry, I hurt you, if I was... willing to bear it at that time , and won’t harm Miss.”

Tang Yanran held her green and beautiful face. At this time, Tang Yanran was like a virgin, her whole body exuded a halo. Tian Lanshan looked at the coffin, she clenched her fists tightly, and told Xiaotao in her heart that a gentleman takes revenge. Ten years is not too late, Xiaotao, one day, she will want Tang Yanran to pay for her blood!
"Hit!" Someone came and dragged Lvxiu away, Tang Yanran sat on the wooden stool, her hands and feet were tied up, and then two newcomers came and threw a wooden board at Tang Yanran's body. They hit it with a bang, the two of them showed no mercy at all, Tang Yanran couldn't help it after only three strokes.

Seeing Tang Yanran crying for her father and mother with tears streaming down her face.Tian Lanshan felt extremely angry, she looked at Su Yunbo, but saw Su Yunbo blinking at her, Tian Lanshan seemed to understand why the emperor didn't let others to try the case, but let Yan Ke's good brother Su Yunbo To save the case, this Su Yunbo hated Miss Tang, so he would naturally stand by her now. As for General Dugu, who was listening, he was just a good-for-nothing face who was going through the motions.

"Ah, it's my fault...it's my fault..." Tang Yanran stared fiercely at Tian Lanshan, her back had already started to see blood, Tian Lanshan looked at her pale in pain That face, just watched quietly.

After hitting the eleventh board, Tang Yanran said loudly: "My lord, stop hitting, stop hitting..."

Su Yunbo raised his eyebrows, looked at these spectators, and slapped the gavel in his hand, and the group of people fell silent instantly. He looked at the group of people lazily, and said with a sneer, "You are doing this for Ms. Tang begs for mercy? It's not impossible, but Miss Tang begged for this board herself. If it is not beaten lightly, how can I be worthy of Miss Tang's hard work? But there are still eight boards, and it will be over if you bear it. Are you trying to disturb Miss Tang's kindness?"

Tang Yanran was biting the handkerchief tightly, she was sweating all over, staring at Tian Lanshan wishing she could kill her with her own hands!
Tian Lanshan also looked at her coldly, the eyes of the two collided in the air, Luxiu was crying beside her, and the sound of the board kept ringing.

At the seventeenth board, Tian Lanshan suddenly stood up, and said calmly: "Tang Yanran, you said at the beginning that human life is precious, but now, what are you doing? After a few boards, will this person's life be forgotten? Then If I kill you, I will receive another twenty boards, do you wish?"

Tang Yanran looked at her with a pale face. At this moment, Tang Yanran's face was completely drained of blood, and she was about to faint. Tian Lanshan glanced at the blood that had spilled on the ground, and looked at her broken body. Buttocks and back, suddenly remembered the time she was beaten by the magistrate, that time was the same, with injuries all over her body, life would be worse than death.

"Oh my God, we are endless!" She gritted her teeth, her voice came out between her teeth, and she was still short of the last two boards. The Duke rushed over and shouted to stop, but the last two boards still didn't come down. Tang Yanran turned her head and looked at Tang Guogong and his wife who came in a hurry, tears streaming down her face, calling her father and mother aggrievedly, watching the sky fade away, she just felt tender!She doesn't even have parents now.
