Chu Chengye felt the secretly looking up at him, but there was no joy or pride in his heart.
He has seen this kind of look many times.
Although he has always been known as a virtuous king outside his business, the old man Ming Chongjun was right: a monarch can win people's hearts by combining kindness and power!
Only those who are virtuous and powerful can be modeled as a king!
In the future, he will be admired by all people. These are just small scenes.
He said indifferently: "In our Eastern Xia, we have Jingzhao Yin, Dali Temple, four city governors, and county yamen. Where can we not file a complaint? This is not a yamen, this is in front of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion. I broke into an official's mansion privately,
Disturbing the public order, the following offense is committed, the intention is unknown, maybe you want to do something sinister, and you have already violated the law! What you did, fourth child, is treating the law as nothing!"
Chu Yuncheng said: "Brother, what you said is wrong! First, this is in front of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion. Since it is in front of the door, we have not entered the door, and there is no way to break into the mansion secretly; secondly, this young lady
I came here with my son to recognize my relatives. Because the King of Hell is easy to meet and the kid is difficult to deal with, I was blocked outside the door. My intention is obvious;"
He smiled and said: "It is precisely because I am familiar with the laws of the Eastern Xia Dynasty and see this little lady helpless that I have the courage to face such a wealthy family as the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and important ministers in the court.
, I feel admiration in my heart! I want to ask, who did a young lady who came to look for her bride offend? Yes or no, originally I just had to make it clear, but Dingyuan Houfu obviously didn’t think so. It would be fine if I didn’t see him.
But it happened that I was allowed to see it! My eldest brother, as a prince, I do not take sides. However, I feel that everyone present thinks the same as me, and they just want the truth.
If it is really a blackmail, there will be a judge to punish it. If the matter is true, preventing father and son from meeting each other, preventing people from recognizing their ancestors and returning to their clan, this is a sinful thing, don't you think so?"
Mu Qingyu looked at Chu Yuncheng and couldn't help but squint her eyes.
This person is vicious, violent and lustful, but if it hadn’t been for the Ming Qinxue incident, how many people would have known about it?
After all, these princes all know how to pretend!
The eldest prince is also known as the wise king outside.
Chu Yuncheng's words made those watching the excitement feel a sense of identity.
Yes or no, all it takes is a confrontation. Not only does the Dingyuan Hou Mansion want to arrest people, but looking at the appearance of Mrs. Hou and Prince Hou, I am afraid that the two of them will not end up well.
Also, although what this little lady said makes people sympathize, she was pushed out by the entire village and treated as an object as a gift for the disaster relief imperial envoy, but she is a human being after all, and she gave birth to that man's son.
Liu and Qin Xuran are the principal wife and the legitimate son, so the mother and son are the concubine and the concubine.
It is not strange at all for a wealthy family to have concubines and concubines, but the concubines and concubines found in this way are called the treasures of the sea at best, and they are embarrassing at worst!
Now I just recognize my relatives, but think about it deeper, what happens after I recognize my relatives?
At this time, Qin Muzhao's voice sounded in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness Laosi is worried, but my memory has not deteriorated to this extent. I was ordered by the Lord to provide disaster relief, and worked tirelessly day and night to travel to the affected areas to deal with the disaster.
I am so busy worrying about affairs that I don’t even have time to eat or drink. What’s ridiculous is that today someone would say that I still have time to indulge in pleasure while I am providing disaster relief. I don’t know what this person’s intentions are! But slandering the imperial officials should be done.
No matter what the crime, they will be punished by their own officials. I will never go beyond my fault, so I will send them to the official for strict investigation!"
At this time, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were arguing, and Dingyuan Hou had already stood at the door for a moment.
Ruan Xinlian said anxiously: "Sir, it doesn't matter if you want to punish the slave family, but Bao'er is your own flesh and blood!"
Qin Muzhao's face was dark and he sneered: "Who is this cunning woman? Who ordered you? You said you served me, but I have stood here for so long, but you didn't recognize me! Now you say this child
Is he my son? Do you think I am easy to fool, or are everyone present fools?"
He had a stern voice and a strong look. He had been rich for many years and had a sense of majesty. He looked down at Ruan Xinlian with a heavy gaze, which made Ruan Xinlian turn pale and she took a step back in fear unconsciously!
Although this step back was only a small step, the onlookers' eyes became strange.
Yes, what Marquis Dingyuan said makes sense. If it was really the person who had served Marquis Dingyuan, she should have recognized him the first time he walked out of the house, instead of standing there anxiously and miserably.
Wipe away tears.
This woman doesn’t even know Marquis Dingyuan, but she still claims that this child is his son. Isn’t it ridiculous?
Chu Yuncheng also frowned and said, "This little lady, do you have any evidence?"
Ruan Xinlian was startled, shook her head subconsciously, and muttered at a loss: "Bao'er is his child, do you still need evidence?"
Chu Yuncheng also secretly complained that he was unlucky. He had already reached this point. If Ruan Xinlian had no evidence at all, he would be roasted on the fire.
Now that he heard her words, he almost laughed angrily. Does she think this child is evidence?
Who can prove that the child is Qin Muzhao’s?
Qin Muzhao shouted coldly: "That's nonsense! Qin behaves and sits upright. He has always been clean and self-sufficient. He is not a womanizer, and he will not leave evil seeds outside!"
He looked at Chu Yuncheng and said: "Your Highness Prince Ding, I am not a bully. This person came with his son to slander me. I want to avoid suspicion and will never interfere. It is better to hand her over to Jingzhao."
Let Yin or Dali Temple try it!"
Chu Yuncheng felt a little unwilling, looked at Ruan Xinlian, and asked again: "Why do you dare to come to the door if you don't have a token in your hand?"
Ruan Xinlian was even more at a loss and spoke more cowardly, with a lack of confidence: "Slave, my family is living in my hometown... I can't survive anymore, so I just thought about bringing Bao'er to find... to find his father, so that he can
Live! They... said that Baoer's father is the Marquis, Dingyuan Marquis, right here!"
Her voice became lower and lower, and only those close to her could hear her.
Chu Yuncheng was disappointed for a while, thinking that today a pie in the sky would suddenly fall from the sky, and a big handle would suddenly fall from the sky, which could deprive Qin Muzhao of his skin, but it turned out to be such a misfortune.
He gritted his teeth and asked without giving up: "Who are they?"
Ruan Xinlian knew that he was the prince, and she also knew that if it weren't for him, she would have been sent to prison long ago. Although she didn't know why such a noble person helped her, she still said: "He is the one who saved us!"
It’s just that this woman doesn’t know Qin Muzhao. She doesn’t have any tokens of Qin Muzhao in her hand. Not to mention Jing Zhaoyin of Dali Temple, most of the people present showed disbelief.
Before, they all felt that Ruan Xinlian's mother and son were pitiful. At this time, Qin Muzhao's decisiveness and Ruan Xinlian's cowardice and guilty conscience made people believe Qin Muzhao unconsciously. They also felt that their previous sympathy was simply feeding the dogs, and they suddenly looked at Ruan Xinlian.
When things got bad, some people started to make rude remarks: "Bah, I really thought I was here to find my relatives, but I didn't expect that he was a blackmailer. He didn't know how to live or die. Do you really think there is no king's law in the capital?"
"No, this woman is not a good product at first glance, and she doesn't look very good. What kind of woman does Dingyuan Marquis want, so that he would fall in love with such a product?"
"I can't say that. Although this woman is not well-dressed, she looks really good. If she were a few years younger, she would be a beauty!"
"The Marquis of Dingyuan did a wonderful job in disaster relief. The emperor personally commended him back then. How many years have passed, and there are still people who want to throw dirty water on the Marquis!"
"Is this woman crazy about wanting to be a noble lady? She thinks that she can live a good life after entering the Dingyuan Hou Mansion? She is just talking nonsense, who are she treating as a fool?"
"This kind of person should be allowed to die in prison. She can only live a good life. She doesn't learn well. She also brings up bad children!"
"The fourth prince originally had good intentions, but it seems that he was also deceived by this woman!"
"They are all princes. The eldest prince has not been deceived. The eldest prince is so smart!"
"I thought it was the secret of the honorable family, but it turned out to be just a farce. This woman stole the chicken but lost the rice. She regrets it!"
……
Sounds of ridicule, sarcasm, and discussion came over. Those people became more and more angry and forgot to control their voices. Chu Yuncheng's face became even worse. He looked at Ruan Xinlian with a cold and murderous look.
, the voice sounded more like it was squeezed out from between the teeth: "Ruan, you don't know Marquis Dingyuan, but you say that your child is the child of Marquis Dingyuan?"
Ruan Xinlian hugged her son and was trembling. She had also heard what she said just now. If no one believed it, she would be sent to prison.
She shivered and said: "No, no, I, I know, I know!"
Chu Yuncheng pointed in the direction of Qin Muzhao and said in a stern voice: "Then why didn't you recognize it just now?"
Ruan Xinlian wanted to say something, but her lips moved, as if it was difficult to speak, so she closed her mouth again.
Chu Yuncheng was almost furious with her and shouted: "Say!"
Ruan Xinlian shook suddenly and blurted out: "He, he is wearing clothes, I can't recognize him!"
Everyone: "..."
Liu sneered: "That's nonsense!"
Chu Yuncheng: "..."
He almost rolled his eyes.
Chu Chengye sneered unceremoniously and said, "Fourth, what else do you have to say now?"
Chu Yuncheng, who was already angry, almost cried out when he heard this. He was careless and shouldn't have come forward in person. Now that he had come forward in person, the situation now became difficult to get out of.
Just leave it alone, didn’t you hear those onlookers saying that he is not as smart as Chu Chengye?
But forget it, this woman is too unreliable, and she seems to have no knowledge. She has no idea what to say that is beneficial to herself. She speaks in a low voice, lacks confidence, and shows a guilty conscience. Who will believe her?
?
Okay, let’s muddy the water!
Everyone should be embarrassed together, but he cannot be embarrassed alone.
He squinted his eyes and said, "You mean, when you saw Dingyuan Hou, he was not wearing any clothes?"
The crowd was in an uproar!
This is a vulgar question to ask, and it is still in front of so many people. Even if Ruan Xinlian expressed the same meaning before, you can’t tell the truth if you see through it!
Qin Muzhao's face turned darker, and he seemed to be unable to bear it and said: "Your Highness!"
Chu Yuncheng has already broken the pot. If he loses face, he will lose face. If he can let out a bad breath, even if his father finds out and scolds him, he doesn't care now.
He said: "I also wanted to give justice to Marquis Dingyuan. I asked the question in front of everyone present so that everyone can judge. It is also fair and open. Since Marquis Dingyuan has a clear conscience, he should not be afraid of the shadow!
”
Qin Muzhao was annoyed and said patiently: "Your Highness, today is the day when I am hosting a banquet. This woman is obviously being instigated by someone behind her back to throw dirty water on me. If you continue to ask questions like this, even if I am innocent,
Today is going to be a big joke! I am also an official of the imperial court, please give me some face!"
Chu Yuncheng nodded and said in agreement: "Since the Marquis has spoken, I agree!"
Qin Muzhao was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Chu Yuncheng say again: "I will pay attention to your questioning skills!"
With that said, he turned around and said calmly to Ruan Xinlian: "Ruan, in front of me and so many people, you'd better not lie, otherwise, I will be the first to send you to Jing Zhaoyin!
”
Ruan Xinlian nodded frantically.
She is completely helpless at this moment.
She had no idea why a simple matter like acknowledging her relatives would become so complicated after arriving in the capital. Doesn't his father not want to recognize such a big son like Bao'er? Don't those rich families pay attention to the bloodline?
?
On the way to the capital, she thought about the life she might live after recognizing her relatives, but she did not expect that just recognizing her relatives would be so troublesome.
What would she do if she was really sent to prison?
She still felt a little aggrieved. Back then, she was from an innocent girl's family. She never thought about being a concubine for any high official. She also wanted to marry the big brother in the village and give him a few children, just like her parents.
Live your life peacefully!
Later, the disaster relief officials came, but their village could not get relief food. The bark of the trees was stripped off. Many people ate loess, their stomachs were greatly swollen, and they were writhing in pain and screaming. Many people starved to death before their eyes.
Finally, someone in the county said that it was because their village did not send Xiao Jing, and other villages and counties had sent Xiao Jing, so they distributed relief food. Although the food distributed contained sand and was moldy, eating it could help you survive!<
/p>
The villagers learned that filial piety is a beautiful yellow flower girl, and if the imperial envoy serving the disaster relief is satisfied, the disaster relief food will be delivered.
Their village wanted to give away two, and the pavilion director personally selected them, and she was chosen.
Father, mother, and brother are extremely reluctant to part with each other. Who is willing to send their innocent daughter to others to be ruined?
However, the lives of the entire village are tied to her, and they cannot stop her.
When she was taken away, the whole village came. They knelt on the side of the road with dumb faces.
Ruan Xinlian cried hard. She alone could buy food for so many people to survive, but she was only a woman who had just grown hair!
She was taken to the county government office, and together with three girls selected from other places, they were "taught" by an old woman, how to speak, how to walk, how to serve the imperial envoy...
According to what the old woman said, it seems that they are the third batch, because the imperial envoy likes fresh ones!
She didn’t know what happened to the people before her. She was very scared, but she still waited for that day!
