Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Zhang Anyu personally took Zuo Si to convey this decision to Ji Chen.

Jiang Fenghua suddenly said, "Master Zhang, Master Zuo, please stay. Ji Chen drugged Yun Fang and then used violence against her... How should this be handled? The laws of the Great Zhou should have a stipulation!"

Zhang Anyu looked at Zuo Si, "The officials from the Ministry of Rites should know better."

Zuo Si said, "The law has provisions for whether to be convicted or sentenced to death. If the circumstances are serious, the person may be sentenced to death immediately, depending on the circumstances."

Ji Chen and Madam Zhang II committed adultery consensually, and both men and women were guilty. The Zhang family did not report the matter to the police at the time because they wanted to cover up the scandal, which indirectly showed that the Zhang family forgave their behavior and only divorced Madam Zhang II, without pursuing any other questions.

He drugged Yunfang and assaulted her, but did not report it to the police at the time. They even became husband and wife, which shows that she forgave his behavior and it would be difficult to sentence him to death.

It is fine to torture him and put him in jail, but if such a person is not punished, how can we give an explanation to the people of the world?

Jiang Fenghua didn't understand the laws in this area, and only got a general idea through the explanation. In fact, there is no unified law, and it is not perfect.

Yun Fang didn't understand after hearing this, but she had previously hoped that Ji Chen would pass the imperial examination so that she could become an official's wife. Now that he could not take the imperial examination, her dream of becoming an official's wife was shattered.

She stared at Jiang Fenghua, "Princess, can you really let me and Ji Chen sever our ties?"

"I just said that according to the laws of the Great Zhou, make him sign a divorce agreement, and you will no longer have any relationship. This will be handled by the Ministry of Rites. Now that the officials from the Ministry of Rites are here, they will naturally make the decision for you." She said in a deep voice, "Aunt Yunfang, do you want to divorce him?" If you want to continue to live a hard life, rescue him!

She believed that Yun Fang was not stupid, and was greedy for money and power, but Ji Chen did not have these.

"Of course I do." Yunfang blurted out.

"Then please ask Master Zhang to also ask Ji Chen if he is willing to divorce his wife!"

Before Jiang Fenghua finished speaking, the common people said, "Such a shameless man should be put in jail. Miss Yun should just divorce him. If he disagrees, you should punish him severely until he agrees."

After a while, Zhang Anyu came out and said to them, "Ji Chen doesn't want to divorce. He even said that he would drag Miss Yunfang down with him even if he died. Alas, he doesn't agree, and Master Zuo can't do anything about it."

Yun Fang was completely led astray. She wanted to rescue Ji Chen and let him go. He had been locked up for so many days and it was not found out that he was the murderer who assassinated the princess, so he should be released. Once Ji Chen was released, he would seek justice from Jiang Fenghua or Jingzhao Prefecture, throw the dirty water on them for their disregard for human life, and pull Jiang Fenghua off the altar.

Even if he is released now, no one will believe what he says because he is a person of bad character.

Yunfang's brain couldn't possibly think of this level.

Now she just wants to divorce him, so naturally she doesn't want the government to release her. She would rather let her die in prison.

She said, "Many people in the palace saw it at the time. It was Ji Chen who drugged me. I was forced by him. I want to sue him..."

As she spoke, she shed tears and showed everyone the chilblains on her hands. "I serve him like a maid every day, and he beats me. Wuuwuwu... After I followed him, I never had a full meal. He even asked me to give him money. The money was the monthly allowance I saved when I was a maid. He spent it all. If I didn't give him any, he would beat me. He is not a human being, but a beast..."

It is true that Yunfang is beautiful, and it is also true that she cries beautifully, which aroused everyone's sympathy for her.

Jiang Fenghua believed in Yun Fang's acting skills. In her previous life, she was able to hook up with Xie Shang and get into his bed, which showed that she was capable. Yun Fang was arrogant and selfish. How could she live a hard life for someone like Ji Chen? Knowing that there was no hope in following Ji Chen, she would cut her losses in time.

After she cried and complained, everyone spoke up for her, "Why can't they divorce if he doesn't want to? The government should directly grant the divorce and give Miss Yunfang justice."

"Give Miss Yun some justice..."

Then, the crowd started to make a scene in the Jingzhao government office again, "Let him divorce, and then sentence him to death. He killed someone, and he wants to drag someone else to death. Is there any law?"

Zhang Yumo also stood up at the right time and told the people the truth, "If Ji Chen hadn't seduced my second aunt, how could she have fooled around with him? My second aunt is already over 40 years old. It was because of him that my second aunt was divorced by my second uncle. Then she hated my second uncle and set fire to the Zhang family, causing my grandparents to die in the fire. They had to suffer the pain of the fire at such an old age, all because of Ji Chen. He still dared to cry out for injustice and reverse right and wrong. A villain like him should be cut into pieces. I will also sue him for murdering my grandparents."

"So, Duke Zhang and the old lady both died because of him. Such a person is truly unforgivable and should be sentenced to death."

"Sentence him to death..." The people shouted loudly, "Perhaps he was the one who instigated Madam Zhang Er to set fire to the Zhang family. He is so evil."

Zhang Anyu did not expect that public opinion would suddenly point to the killing of Ji Chen. Although there was no evidence to prove that he intended to assassinate Princess Heng, he could be directly sentenced to death based on his crimes of seducing a married woman and drugging and raping her!

Lord Zhang said, "As the saying goes, lust is the root of all evil! There will be no happiness unless it is eradicated!"

Zuo Si said, "It's really abominable. Without rules, there will be no order. If there were no laws to restrain the world, the world would be in chaos. Ji Chen is a scholar. On top of the multiple crimes, he should be punished more severely."

He bowed to Jiang Fenghua and said, "Please wait for a moment, Princess. I still need to report this case to the Minister for a decision."

Yunfang and Zhang Yumo both want to sue Ji Chen, so the Ministry of Rites must accept the case. Even if the Su family has people in the Ministry of Rites, they will not stand up for Ji Chen when the matter has become so serious.

Jiang Fenghua nodded, "Yunfang was originally a maid in my Prince Heng's mansion. This princess only found out today that she married the wrong person and has lived such a miserable life. If Lord Zuo can help them get a divorce, it will save her from the dire straits."

"I will do my best." After saying that, he left.

The incident had become so serious that the people outside the yamen had no intention of leaving. They were all waiting for the Ministry of Rites' decision to see whether they could send people like Ji Chen to the guillotine as a warning to others.

Now, because of him, two more lives have been lost. Even if he brings this matter to the emperor, the emperor will not forgive him.

Jiang Fenghua brought Yunfang into the yamen and asked their people to quietly control the people Yunfang brought with him, leaving them no chance to leave.

Even if Su Tingwan received the news and rushed over, it would be of no avail. If she wanted to save Ji Chen, she had to be prepared to be slandered.

Jiang Fenghua thought: It would be great if Su Tingwan really came, she would definitely make her reputation ruined.

The fact is, things have come to this point, even if Su Tingwan came she wouldn't dare show up. If she continues to be as stupid as before, she will have lived in vain.

If anyone speaks up for Ji Chen now, everyone will point the finger at her.

Jiang Fenghua is really vicious, causing so many people to cause trouble.

At this time, Su Tingwan was really sitting in a carriage in the distance, watching quietly, as Yun Fang, that idiot, was actually instigated by Jiang Fenghua to rebel.
