Yang Bao was a loser when he was young. He lived to a very old age without any wisdom. He felt that among the people he knew, the most "otherworldly" was his brother-in-law Qiao Ke. He believed that by following his brother-in-law, one could become a successful person. Like a rock, he followed Qiao Ke when he moved south. Even when he was deposed by Wang Lan, the former Dazhongzheng, because of his lack of knowledge and skills, he was not very disappointed. He even "confessed" to Qiao Ke - I came to Jiankang. He had no intention of using his official position, and His Majesty did not dare to treat a noble family like us lightly. Even if we were not given the job, we would still be given land so that we could raise troops to defend the country.

But the current situation is very different from before. His niece is the mother of the prince, and with Qiao Ke's full support, can the fifth prince still lose his throne?

So Qiao Ke hated Qiao Hu's elbows turned outwards, and Yang Bao also gritted his teeth in hatred. Just using his mouth to agree was not effective. Yang Bao also understood that Qiao Ke should return to Qiao Ke, and Nanci should return to Nanci. If he wanted to be trusted by Nanci, he should He has to make great contributions first.

But he didn't expect that not only did he not receive any credit, he would actually be charged with slandering the imperial official!

Yang Bao panicked and forgot that he was still in the execution hall at this time. In front of the chief judge and the supervisor, he discussed with Qiao Ke: "Don't Gongzhi firmly believe that Mrs. Jiang has been killed? Logically speaking, Mrs. Ren, If we can't force Mrs. Jiang, we will indeed not allow Mrs. Jiang to live. Why...could it be that Qiao Xi deliberately deceived us?!"

"Jiang will be sued soon, and Mr. Yang can never think of making false accusations against me again!" Qiao Huan no longer called Yang Bao his uncle at this time, and said coldly: "Ever since Huan returned from the expedition, my father has never raised today's lawsuit. After reporting these two cases, Fu thought that his father had just listened to Yang Gong and Yang Taijun's words of alienation. But after all, he still had love for Fu, so when he woke up, he no longer acted according to Yang Gong's poisonous plan. If his father had already repented, , the affairs of the Qiao family in Pingyi would not go to the execution hall. If his father asked about the whereabouts of Fu and his wife Jiang, Fu would tell the truth. However, his father never mentioned it at all, and he did not report the matter until today. The Jiang family is a weak girl who is not willing to taint herself. Huan is an official and noble, and she dare not embarrass herself. She has failed to live up to the reward and salary of the king and the temple of her ancestors."

Yingshu looked at Qiao Ke's face, which looked like a burnt black and reddish piece of wood. She wanted to "add insult to injury": "I just said that Uncle Pingyi didn't find out the truth. It turned out that he didn't discuss it with the prince at all. , it happened suddenly today. It was not difficult to find out the matter originally. The prince was registered by the imperial court, and Ren Nujun’s imperial edict was also approved by the imperial court. If Pingyi Bozhen decided that Ren Nujun violated the etiquette of Qichu, Logically speaking, before filing a complaint, we should explain it to the many clan elders of Pingyi Bo."

"I've said it a long time ago. I didn't hold a temple meeting first to save some face for Qiao Xun and his wife!"

"This is really ridiculous. Let's put it bluntly. In history, there has never been a precedent for a family to avoid the temple meeting in advance and directly appeal to the imperial office. Even if Pingyi Bo first drafted a letter to express his love to His Majesty, he said: Comparatively speaking, they are more tolerant than today's behavior. It's not that Pingyi Bo didn't expect the consequences, he knew the consequences and did it intentionally."

Qiao Ke stood up angrily: "I admit that I believed the words of estrangement and got too angry and wrongly blamed my descendants. Could it be that the elder made a mistake accidentally and must still apologize to his descendants?"

When Uncle Pingyi wanted to leave, even Gu Geng felt that there was no need to stop him. But seeing that Yang Bao and Qiao Xi also wanted to run away together, Gu Geng naturally would not tolerate it and shouted: "Uncle Pingyi's fallacy has its root cause. It's because of the slander you two made against Prince Qiao. Although you are Prince Qiao's uncle, you have no kindness to teach him. Prince Qiao should treat your uncle with respect, but you intend to slander the prince. The national law should Hold you accountable for the crimes you committed.

And Qiao Xi, the prince is the elder brother, and you are the younger brother. The elders and younger ones should be in order, but you have insulted your brother and are not jealous. This trial has not allowed you two to leave the court. If you two dare to leave without authorization, this trial will have Quan ordered that you two be detained on the spot and executed with the cane first! "

No matter how panicked these three people were, Gu Geng's attitude seemed to be that he was unwilling to tolerate or condone. Qiao Xi actually sat upright without any intention of interceding. Qiao Xi was frightened to the point where his legs went weak, and then he collapsed. Sitting back on the bench, his sheep's coat was also precariously sitting down. Qiao Ke wanted to walk away, but he was not so shameless - now he could only look forward to the moment Jiang went to the execution hall and faced him face to face, he would change his mind. He repented, retracted his confession on the spot, and admitted that he was coerced by Qiao Ming!

Yingshu has never met Jiang.

In the previous life, Qiao Ke and his wife probably chose to settle the matter and let Jiang expose Qiao Ke's conspiracy face to face, so Qiao Ke had to cancel the plan. Later, he would definitely arrange Jiang's settlement properly and redeem her citizenship. Finally, I found a kind man. Of course, he couldn't give Jiang a rich life, but in fact, not everyone is so greedy for wealth.

When Mrs. Jiang entered the execution hall, Yingshu's eyes lit up.

This is a beautiful woman. She cannot be described simply as "beautiful." She naturally has a weak style. Her frown is like a smokey willow, her skin is like light frost, and her eyelids are slowly drooping, like a thin curtain covering half of her eyes. The black hair on her temples also covered her dimples, and her lips seemed to have faded from winter to early spring. The pale morning light finally showed a slight hint of morning color, but when her biological mother held her in her arms and cried bitterly, she straightened her spine. , even the eyebrows and eyelashes didn't move at all.

She calls herself "People's Girl Jiang".

Her confession was very calm, as if she was talking about an experience that had nothing to do with her.

"The women of the people did not dare to sue the uncle of Pingyi for raping and humiliating the women of the country, because at that time, the women of the people were not well-born and were slaves of the uncle of Pingyi. The slaves had no right to act independently. The honor and disgrace of life and death depended entirely on the decision of the master's family. But the people The girl must explain that it was Uncle Pingyi who instructed the girl to try her best to seduce the Seventh Young Master. Uncle Pingyi also told the girl that Zhui Feng, the servant of the Seventh Young Master, would cooperate with the girl."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ji was about to take action: "Don't try to frame Uncle Pingyi, you rebellious girl..."

Mother Jiang also cried: "Winter Solstice, my child, you can't talk nonsense. You clearly didn't mean this before. You know you are lying in the execution hall now. Your father and I will definitely have only one way to die!"

Mrs. Jiang turned her face and looked at Jiang Ji, who was holding her palm high but did not dare to slap it down, and her biological mother. Looking at them, she seemed to see a shadow. That shadow was her in the past, who had never known anyone before. At that time, she lived with fear, like the person who fell into hell. The shadow was smiling at her, waving to her, turned around, and walked away.

"When I was a slave, I had no parents." Jiang's voice was not loud, but her words were extremely clear: "People who claim to be my parents, you are all telling me how to please Lady Jade, because the only way to please her is to please her. , learn some of her skills, and then you can hope to please the eldest lord and become his personal maid in the future.

Do you know that Madam Jade never let me have a full stomach because I have to maintain a slender waist? I have never been able to talk about the so-called skills she taught me. Do you still remember that one New Year's Eve, I was really hungry? I couldn't bear it, so I took a steamed cake to eat. One of you beat me up, and the other looked at me coldly. You all said you were doing it for my own good. I could only obey Lady Jade's instructions to avoid toil in the future.

But do you know? I have never been afraid of hard work. I would rather be a rough servant who sweeps and washes clothes. Although it is hard work, I will not endure... humiliation.

Aniang, I called you Aniang for the last time. What did I ask you for? I don't want to be a concubine, but what did you say? You said that if I didn't listen, I would die at the hands of my biological father! ! ! From then on, I didn’t dare to tell you anything. How many years have we not seen each other? From the age of fourteen to now, do you really care whether I live or die? Uncle Pingyi has long disliked me, because I have long been injured in order to maintain this weak figure. One time, when I was serving Uncle Pingyi, I was injured by him, but he thought it was because I was menstruating. , thought I was unlucky and beat me up so hard that I almost died. However, Madam Jade was still a little soft-hearted and took care of me for dozens of days. She told me that I should not blame her, she also wanted to live. "

Mother Jiang let go of her daughter.

"Uncle Pingyi forced me to frame the prince and the seventh son. If I don't obey, I will definitely die. I also want to live, so I can only beg the eldest lady. The eldest lady is a kind person and understands the meaning behind my words. She couldn't bear to see me die innocently, so she really took me back to the hospital. The eldest daughter didn't even feel embarrassed. Although I wanted to live, I didn't want to lose my conscience, and I knew very well that if I obeyed the orders of Pingyi Bo In the end, there was only a dead end. My only chance was to ask the eldest lady to help me leave Pingyi County. I thought at that time, even if I was begging on the streets, as long as I could get a piece of leftover food, it would be better than what I had been doing. Live easy.

It was I who took the initiative to tell the eldest daughter Jun Pingyi Bo's conspiracy. I didn't expect that the eldest daughter Jun would actually consider it for me. The eldest daughter Jun said that only by redeeming my nationality can I truly be safe. What the eldest daughter Jun thought at that time When the prince returned, they discussed with Uncle Pingyi and persuaded him to settle the matter.

But I was too scared. I heard that my so-called aunt had come to Bieyuan several times to cause trouble, so I knew that Uncle Pingyi would not let it go. I was worried that even if Uncle Pingyi spared the prince, he would never let me go. , I was the one who begged the eldest lady to redeem my citizenship for me first, and it was also I who begged the eldest lady not to let Pingyi Bo’s spy Zhui Feng know my whereabouts. It’s the same me who hoped that the eldest lady could save Pingyi Bo before he got angry. I have found a lifelong support for me. Now of course I am not afraid. Not only have I left my country, but I have also found a good man. He knows my past, but he does not dislike me, and he is not afraid of Pingyi Bo at all. He said that if Uncle Pingyi dares to bully me again, he will go outside Taicheng to beat the Dengwen drum. He is a soldier of Dayu and has been commended by His Majesty. He is not afraid of bullies like Uncle Pingyi at all. He said The Northern Zhao cavalry can't scare him yet, why should he be afraid of a mere old man! ! ! "

"Diao Nu, you are so brave!!!"

"Father, please calm down. Mrs. Jiang is just relaying Tang Xin's words. Tang Xin is not a private soldier of our Pingyi Bofu. He is now the captain of the Dongqi Army."

Gu Geng also smiled slightly: "Uncle Pingyi, you first gave the Jiang family to the prince. In fact, it should be the prince's opinion on how to arrange the Jiang family. Doesn't Uncle Pingyi know that due to the controversy caused by the case of Yu Duo and his son, many Confucian scholars in the government and the public After several debates, a new consensus has been reached. A maid is a maid and a concubine is a concubine. Within a family, slaves can be exchanged with each other, but concubines cannot.

It is true that you took Mrs. Jiang to be your concubine, but she was a slave. Your behavior of forcibly giving her to the prince cannot be determined by this trial as being disrespectful to a father and contrary to human ethics. However, according to the cases that have been discovered Facts are, Ms. Jiang has been released and you came to court in person to explain the case, but you threatened Ms. Jiang in court... This trial will also truthfully report to Your Majesty, how many days will you wait patiently for the punishment that the criminal should receive? There will always be results. "
