The reborn abandoned girl Jinghua

Chapter 972

The butler wiped off his sweat, shook his head and said, "No."

Tell them about the situation at the Criminal Department.

The statement given by the prison cell of the Ministry of Punishment was an order issued by the emperor himself, without any sympathy.

So it is useless to use money and relationships.

Mrs. Xu sat back down and murmured, "How could this happen?"

"Thank you, you haven't had dinner yet, go and eat." Zheng Rui frowned tightly, and said, "Let Zeng Yicheng and Qu Chang wait for me in the study, and I'll go there later."

The two of them are Zheng Guogong's staff, and they also came here together.

The butler nodded, cupped his hands and stepped back.

"It's all Xiao Shu, it's all him." Zheng Zi shouted hoarsely, her red eyes were full of hatred.

Zheng Rui looked at Xu Shi and said, "I'll go to the Ministry of Punishment to have a look in person tomorrow morning." After he came back, Xu Shi roughly told him, Zheng Zi, Zheng Yi, and Liu Shi about what she knew.

Mrs. Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow to see if I can see Xiao Jin."

"Mother, I'll go with you." Zheng Zi said bitterly.

At that time, she would like to ask Xiao Shu and Song Mujin if they have a conscience.

"Mother, I'll go with you too, I'll ask my second sister-in-law." Zheng Yi also said.

"The two of you stay at home, your sister-in-law is still sick, Mrs. Tai and Xuan'er both need someone to take care of them." Xu said.

Xu could still not see the hatred in Zheng Zi's eyes.

As for Zheng Yi, Xu knew that she wanted to do something for the family and sincerely wanted to ask Song Mujin, but how could she let her daughter suffer this grievance?

"Mother doesn't have to go." Zheng Rui said with gloomy eyes, "Neither Xiao Shu nor Song Mujin will see you, otherwise they wouldn't have done such a great job."

Mrs. Xu also knew, "I'd better go."

"Since mother wants to go there, then go, but if they don't see mother, you can come back directly, don't waste time there." Zheng Rui said.

"I just went over to have a look. If Xiao Jin doesn't see me, then I'll come back." Xu nodded and said.

Zheng Rui thought for a while, then looked at Xu Shi and said, "If it was only because of what happened back then, things wouldn't be such a big deal, mother, do you know what other reasons father has in Xiao Shu's hands?"

Xu made a self-deprecating smile, "I'm a woman, how do I know about the Duke of Guo?" If the Duke of Guo wanted to say anything, he would tell Aunt Wu, how could he tell her?

Zheng Rui also understood what she meant, paused for a moment before continuing to ask, "Didn't father say anything to mother when he was taken away?"

Xu shook his head.

Maybe it happened suddenly, and my father didn't know about it. Zheng Rui thought about it for a while and didn't ask any more questions. He stood up and said, "Mother has to worry about family affairs."

Xu looked at Zheng Rui who suddenly seemed to be sensible and mature a lot, and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of them, don't worry."

Zheng Rui looked at the bloodless Liu Shi, and after a moment of silence, he left without saying anything.

Liu looked at his back and left indifferently.

……

The change in the Duke's mansion naturally attracted the attention of all the officials in the court, and the next morning, there were people who excused and interceded for Duke Zheng's mansion.

The first to bear the brunt is Mrs. Zheng's natal family, as well as Liu's and Xu's natal families.

They are in-laws, so they naturally don't want something to happen to Zheng Guogong's mansion.

There are also officials who have been favored by Zheng Guogong and have a good relationship with him also come forward to intercede.

Emperor Xuan Ren glanced coldly at everyone.

Everyone felt that their necks were chilly, and they all lowered their heads hurriedly.

Emperor Xuan Ren looked away, and ordered the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to start the trial immediately, and finally glanced at the people who had just interceded, "Since the lovers are so concerned about this case, you should go and listen together today."

Since he was going to listen, Emperor Xuanren ordered several officials to come out and order them to listen.

"My minister complies with the order." Everyone hurriedly responded.

After the court was over, they went to the Ministry of Punishment to open the hall. Everyone couldn't help being surprised when they saw Zheng Guogong.

It was only one night, and Zheng Guogong's people were haggard and decadent.

Mrs. Zheng and Aunt Wu were pale and haggard. As soon as they arrived in the hall, they knelt down and cried, "My lord, I am wronged, my lord is wronged."

"Quiet." The Minister of Criminal Justice patted the gavel.

When it became quiet, the clerk next to Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment read down the charges one by one.

……

After reading one by one, Zheng Guogong's face turned pale little by little, and when the document was finished, he said loudly, "I'm wronged." Greed for ink, favoritism and fraud—how many officials in the court have not been greedy for ink, favoritism and fraud?As for the affairs of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, he was just following the good example. "I was not the main person in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment at the time. As for the matter of occupying good land and killing good people, I never did it."

Aunt Wu was trembling, she didn't dare to raise her head, wishing everyone would shrink to the ground.

"Haven't you done it?" The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice took out a stack of papers and threw it on the table, and said in a cold voice, "Read it to him."

The secretary nodded, stretched out his hand and started to read.

After he finished reading, Zheng Guogong looked at Aunt Wu sadly, "Xian'er..." A mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng didn't understand. She turned around and stretched out her hand to grab Aunt Wu's hair, and cursed bitterly, "Bitch, I will feed you and live in you. You have been raised in rich clothes and rich food. How dare you Harm us so much, white-eyed wolf!"
