The princess of Huanghuo loves farming

Chapter 92 The verdict is finalized, the maidservant defected!

On the resplendent Jinluan Hall, solemn and solemn.

The old emperor was wearing a majestic and gorgeous golden dragon robe, with a cold expression and an imposing manner.

Below, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and several other important ministers, chief arrester Sun Ying, stood on the left side with the criminals from the Shangguan Mansion, while the Fengzhuang gang headed by Feng Yunkai were on the right side.

After the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments reported all the evidence that had been investigated to the old emperor, there was a flash of anger on the old emperor's expression.

Although the anger faded away quickly, the old emperor still slapped the armrest of the dragon chair in a serious manner: "Shangguan's patriarch, is it true what the minister of punishment said?"

Shangguan Jin's eyes were slumped, and he lowered his head slightly: "I... don't know..."

The old emperor raised his chin proudly, scanned Shangguan Jin from head to toe with his eyes, and sneered in his heart.As long as the descendants of the aristocratic family do not worship officials or kneel down, how prestige was the Shangguan aristocratic family back then?
But what about now?

There were originally four great families in the Da'an Dynasty, but due to the rapid decline of the Shangguan family, only three are remembered for the world.Shangguan Jin would never have imagined in his dreams that one day he would be in the Golden Luan Hall without even being able to say a complete sentence, right?

Among the people of the same generation, he is still the only one, Huang Fuxiong, who is still majestic and alone!
In the old emperor's heart, he couldn't help feeling somewhat proud.

"Your Majesty, this incident was done by my fourth uncle. I received a secret report and immediately rushed to the attic where my fourth uncle was staying. It was just that everyone from the Ministry of Punishment happened to arrive, which caused a misunderstanding." Shangguan Zhiyun is worthy of Shangguan Jin The son who was highly valued before also had the courage to face danger without fear.

However, his superficial calmness could not conceal his inner bewilderment.

He would stop his habitual coughing like a medicine jar only when he was quite nervous and frightened.This point was not only clear to Shangguan Liuyun, but also in his heart.

"That's not the case!" Shangguan Rui immediately knelt down on the ground, crying: "Your Majesty, the grass people have been imprisoned for so many years, living a life that is worse than death, and they can't get out of the Shangguan mansion. It is impossible for the grass people to know about Ye Mingzhu. , and it is absolutely impossible to take away the Ye Mingzhu from the hands of the palace guards! Please, Your Majesty... Ming, Ming Jian..."

As soon as Shangguan Rui's words fell, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment hit the iron again and reported while the iron was hot: "Report to the emperor, I sent the head of the Ministry of Punishment to arrest Sun Ying, and went to the East Palace to ask the guards who escorted Ye Mingzhu. The guards all said that they were hit very hard. The ecstasy incense is what leads to complete inability to resist."

Mihun incense, of course, can only be produced by Baicao Villa and Shangguan family.However, Shangguan Rui seems to have little chance to get this kind of thing, but Shangguan Zhiyun has a great chance.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" The old emperor gave Shangguan Zhiyun a meaningful look, and said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I immediately invited the imperial physician to go see it. The imperial physicians Chen and Sun of the imperial hospital both proved that those guards were indeed poisoned by the ecstasy incense. I also traced the ecstasy incense and found out who was in the Shangguan mansion. On the head." All the spearheads were pointed at the Shangguan Mansion, how could the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments let go of this great opportunity to make meritorious deeds?
Regardless of whether his real murderer is Shangguan Rui or Shangguan Zhiyun, they are all from Shangguan's family. There is no doubt that he has made great contributions to the criminal investigation this time!

"Huang..." Shangguan Zhiyun was about to speak again, but he didn't want to. Shangguan Jin beside him let out a long sigh, stepped forward first, and knelt heavily on the ground.

Just listen to Shangguan Jin said: "Whether it is Shangguan Rui or Shangguan Zhiyun, they are inseparable from my Shangguan family. The emperor does not need to re-trial. Everyone in the Shangguan family is up to the emperor."

"Father!" Shangguan Zhiyun was shocked, how could father give up?Once you give up this kind of thing, it is a serious crime to destroy your family!
As for Shangguan Jin, all thoughts were lost at this moment. He had already determined that this incident was an unwarranted charge imposed on Shangguan's family by the emperor.

If it was the former Shangguan family, he might still have the heroism to fight to the death, but now... Now that his Shangguan family is an empty shell, what capital does he have to fight against Huangfuxiong?
However, facing Shangguan Jin's confession, the old emperor hesitated.

The Shangguan family no longer poses any threat to the imperial court.Even if the case of Ye Mingzhu was indeed committed by Shangguan Zhiyun, the old emperor was unwilling to convict the entire Shangguan family, lest it would be true that he would weaken the power of the family with 'unnecessary' charges.

But now that the charges are conclusive, if the old emperor grants mercy outside the law, he is afraid that his emperor's majesty will be broken.After all, the case of Ye Mingzhu is no small matter. The thief snatched the treasure from the palace guards, and sending Ye Mingzhu to Baicao Villa was an imperial decree from his own mouth!
After deliberating for a long time, the old emperor finally said slowly: "Since the truth of the matter has been revealed, then I will sentence..."

"Your Majesty, the girl has something to say."

The old emperor was slightly taken aback, naturally he did not expect that someone would dare to interrupt him.

The old emperor's first guess was Feng Yunkai, but when he looked towards Feng Yunkai's side, he found that Feng Yunkai hadn't stepped forward to speak.The one who interrupted him was the beautiful woman who was standing beside Feng Yunkai, that white dress like snow, with a calm expression.

This beautiful woman was undoubtedly Tang Xiaoling.

Although he was a little unhappy when he was interrupted, men are always tolerant towards beautiful women, so the old emperor waved his hand: "Speak."

Naturally, this also gave Feng Yun a bad face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tang Xiaoling bowed generously, raised his eyebrows, and said in a calm tone: "Ministers think that this case was committed by Shangguan Rui and has nothing to do with Shangguan Zhiyun. As for Shangguan Rui, It also has nothing to do with the Shangguan Mansion, so the crime committed by Shangguan Rui should not be implicated in the Shangguan Mansion."

When these words came out, everyone was shocked!

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice looked at Feng Yunkai again and again, but seeing her calm expression, as if she was not affected in the slightest, he couldn't help shouting in his heart that it's weird!Isn't this woman Feng Yunkai's maidservant, the younger sister of Tang Huwei?Why did you help Shangguan's family again?

The old emperor was also quite surprised, not understanding why the maidservant suddenly turned against her.From his point of view, this Fengyun has a bright future ahead, but the Shangguan family has already fallen like leaves, and there is no possibility of spring green anymore!
Of course, the most shocking ones were Shangguan Jin and Shangguan Zhiyun!

Shangguan Jin knew very well what kind of treatment Tang Xiaoling received in Shangguan's family, but after being divorced, this daughter-in-law was able to speak for Shangguan's family in this critical moment, which is truly commendable!

As for Shangguan Zhiyun, while shocked, he seemed a little lost.He knew Tang Xiaoling too well, this woman had changed a lot, she was no longer as submissive, gentle and pleasant as before.However, since she no longer has him in her eyes, why in this situation, she betrayed Feng Yunkai and spoke for the Shangguan family?
He had already guessed that the person who set up a trap to frame him this time was undoubtedly Feng Yunkai!However, Tang Xiaoling actually spoke up for the Shangguan family when the emperor was about to be convicted. Could it be that she is not afraid of offending Feng Yunkai, and there will be no place for her in the future?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then turned their heads silently, pretending to be nonchalant, except for Shangguan Zhiyun who had a complicated expression and was staring at Tang Xiaoling's profile.

The old emperor also came back to his senses for a while, and asked, "What do you mean by this? You should come and listen to me."

"Minnv obeys the order." Tang Xiaoling looked calm, quite confident, "Minnv has a letter in her hand, which was found by Minnv's elder brother from the corpse of Shangguan Rui's Liugui. This letter is Written by Shangguan Rui himself, he sent a letter to the six ghosts by flying pigeons, and asked the six ghosts to set up an ambush on the way to Baicao Villa to snatch the night pearl, please look at it."

Tang Qing looked quite surprised, and blurted out: "Little Ling! How could you steal my letter?"

Tang Xiaoling didn't turn his head to answer, but everyone already understood that although Tang Qing found the letter from the six ghosts, Tang Qing suppressed it privately and did not hand it over. Tang Xiaoling found out and stole the letter.

Shangguan Rui turned pale with shock, he had a letter from Feige to the six ghosts, but the content was definitely not what Tang Xiaoling said!It's a pity that he opened his mouth to defend himself, but found that he could only utter a few words that he couldn't understand himself: "Here... no... no..."

No one saw it, Tang Qing's eyes flashed a faint coldness, and no one saw that he flicked something with his fingers just now - in the direction of Shangguanrui.

The old emperor looked at Shangguan Rui who seemed to be pissed in fright, and nodded slightly to Eunuch Mo.

Eunuch Mo hurried down, opened the letter in Tang Xiaoling's hand, and presented it to the old emperor to read.

This Shangguan Rui was also a character back then, and the old emperor even had a drink with him, and even witnessed the dispute between him and Shangguan Jin for the patriarch, so he was very familiar with Shangguan Rui's handwriting.So the old emperor saw that the handwriting was almost Shangguan Rui's, so he ordered Eunuch Mo to show the letter to Shangguan Rui for review.

Shangguan Rui only glanced at it, and was immediately stunned!who is it?Who could imitate his handwriting to such an extent that it is so fake?
However, it was his shock that made the old emperor stop looking at him.

"Even if the perpetrator is Shangguan Rui, why do you say that this matter has nothing to do with Shangguan Mansion?" The old emperor was actually happy with this result, but he was very curious about what the woman in front of him did.

Tang Xiaoling calmly said: "Back to the emperor, Shangguan Rui poisoned and murdered the previous head of the family, who was Shangguan Rui's father, because he was fighting for the position of Patriarch. After the Dongchuang incident, Shangguan Rui was removed from the family tree by his father. Fortunately, Shangguan Jin Only by interceding for him was he able to linger on in the Shangguan Mansion. If calculated in this way, Shangguan Rui is not from the Shangguan family, so what does the crime he committed have anything to do with the Shangguan Mansion?"

"This..." The old emperor was stopped by the question.

According to what she said, what Shangguan Rui did had nothing to do with the Shangguan Mansion.

After a long while, the old emperor finally seemed to have made up his mind, and generously issued an order: "According to you, this case has nothing to do with Shangguan's mansion. As for Shangguan Rui, drag him out and beat him to death with sticks, as an example to others!"

Since Shangguan Rui is not from Shangguanfu, he naturally has nothing to be polite about.He was very happy with the result.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tang Xiaoling bowed politely.

"Your majesty is wise!" Everyone in the Shangguan Mansion knelt down one after another, this time they were really grateful.

Shangguan Zhiyun tilted his head to look at Tang Xiaoling, hoping that she would look back and let him see her thoughts.It's a pity that Tang Xiaoling kept his eyes fixed on him and failed to make him fulfill his wish...
