Chapter 0693 Whoever is private with a married man, ninety sticks!
The yamen plaque reads the four characters "Ming Xing Bi Jiao". There is a man wearing a black gauze hat and a round collar robe sitting in the high hall, and the yamen servants below are arranged on both sides.
He held the gavel in his hand and knocked it heavily on the table, only to hear a crisp sound.
"Ascending to the Hall!"
"mighty---"
Cui Jing, the Minister of Punishment, shouted loudly: "Come here! Bring the prisoner up!"
Under the guidance of the yamen servant, Su Zhen came to the court.
She crossed her arms across her chest, and her face seemed to be filled with a smile, but in fact the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Prisoners in the hall, please state their names!" Cui Jing asked as usual.
"Jinse."
"How dare you! As a criminal, how dare you not kneel down when you see me!"
"Don't mention that you are a minister of the Ministry of Justice. Even if the emperor comes, Jin will not kneel down!"
"How dare you defy the emperor!"
Su Zhen took out her ears and said nonchalantly: "Sir, you are just wasting your time. Bring all your personal and material evidence and let me see who dares to say that I killed someone!"
Cui Jing looked at the young man in front of him. Although he was wearing a mask, the pressure he inadvertently released made him feel palpitated.
Cui Jing was startled by his own thoughts. He said angrily with a sullen face: "I have only one way to resolve the case, and it's not your turn to teach me!"
Su Zhen tilted her head and pursed her lips, sighing and said: "Sir, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. You sent someone to bring me here from the General's Mansion. You should know that I am a doctor at Jinxuan Hospital. You
After half a minute of nonsense, I can save a few lives! You'd better hurry up so as not to waste our time together."
"You bastard! You still have the nerve to say that you are a doctor? Not only did you have no medical ethics, you killed the patient, you even lost your conscience and seduced the princess!"
Su Zhen was still smiling, but there was a trace of sarcasm and murderous intent in her eyes that could not be noticed.
"I have heard a bit about murders, but I don't know where and when I seduced which princess?"
Cui Jing was about to speak when Su Zhen continued: "Sir, rumors stop with the wise. I know that according to your laws in Xiliang, anyone who has an affair with a married woman will be punished with a ninety stick! It doesn't matter if you insult my reputation because of hearsay.
But if I insulted any princess from the prince’s family or even a princess personally named by the emperor! Once the matter is found out, I’m afraid it won’t be my head!”
The threat in her words was obvious. Cui Jing's face turned pale again, but soon returned to normal.
But what does ‘you Xiliang’ in these words mean?!
"Come here! Bring witnesses!"
Soon, the yamen came in with a girl wearing a goose-yellow dress. Although Su Zhen drank too much last night, she still recognized the identity of the woman in front of her at a glance.
She is Li Yue's maid.
Xiaolan knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Folk girl Xiaolan, please see me!"
"Xiao Lan, I want to ask you, have you personally witnessed Jin Se being unfaithful to Princess Chihuang?"
"Sir, that's right! The daughter of the people has seen Jinse and the princess many times in the market. Not only are they ambiguous in their speech and behavior, but they are also frivolous. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask on the street.
ask."
After Xiaolan finished speaking, someone immediately responded outside the Yamen, claiming that they had seen it many times.
"Okay! In that case, my lord, you might as well find Princess Chihuang and Prince Huo. This stick is ninety. Since I am said to be having an affair with the princess, you can't just stick it to me, right?"
"Jinse, are you admitting your guilt?"
"Admit it, admit it! If there is anything else, please tell me."
She was so free and happy that Xiaolan, who had prepared a long speech all night, was stunned.
"Come, go to Huo Mansion and ask the prince and princess to come!"
"Yes! I'll go right away!"
A government official ran quickly outside the house.
Su Zhen said impatiently: "Where is the civilian woman who accused me of killing her mother-in-law? Please come up together."
Cui Jing has been an official for many years, and has never encountered a prisoner like Su Zhen who behaves so unconventionally.
In the past, prisoners either shouted out their injustice, were stubborn, or were unrepentant and roared in court.
This Jinse, on the other hand, seems to be rushing to plead guilty and go to jail.
"Bring the woman Qiao Yuxin to the court!"
The yamen servant brought a woman to the hall wearing white linen mourning clothes. Her face was very plain, and there was only a small white flower in her bun.
Su Zhen took a look at her, and one look at her face revealed that she was a sharp and mean person.
At this time, a gust of wind blew by, and she saw Black and White Wuchang appearing in the courtroom.
Others, however, seemed unable to see them.
Hei Wuchang looked at Su Zhen with very excited eyes. She blinked and said to Hei Wuchang with her lips: "My surname is Sun, my name is Shanling. I was sixty-three years old. He passed away last night."
Hei Wuchang nodded, summoned the Book of Life and Death, and found out the truth about the mother-in-law's death within a few breaths.
Su Zhen listened to Hei Wuchang's narration of the truth with her left ear, and with her right ear listened to Qiao Yuxin, who was kneeling on the ground, talking about what happened on the eve of the crime.
"Sir, the civilian woman Qiao Yuxin wants to sue Jinse of Jinxuan Hospital! He diagnosed and treated my mother-in-law half a month ago, but my mother-in-law has had a high fever since she came home. She can't eat or sleep day and night.
Last night, he even bled to death from all his orifices!" Qiao Yuxin shed tears of sadness as she spoke: "Sir! How dare such a person with poor medical skills to treat people's illnesses! He is the murderer of my mother-in-law, so why should I ask you to do it for me?
My mother-in-law makes the decision!”
"Jinse, what do you have to say?"
"I was able to come up with a prescription to treat influenza, which saved countless people in Xiliang, and I also saved many terminally ill patients with seven-star acupuncture. There is no doubt about my medical skills!"
"That's what I said, but Qiao Yuxin's mother-in-law did die only after your diagnosis and treatment."
Su Zhen touched her chin and said: "Sir, that old woman's condition is brain death. After my diagnosis and treatment, she is indeed alive. Even if she does have a high fever, it is normal. However, according to the rules of our hospital, she
I shouldn’t have been discharged from the hospital that night.”
Cui Jing understood the meaning of her words, so he asked Qiao Yuxin: "Qiao Yuxin! How did your mother-in-law get discharged from the hospital?"
"She came back on her own!"
Qiao Yuxin's eyes flickered, and at this moment, a man's voice came from outside the door.
"My lord! She is talking nonsense!"
When everyone took a look, they found that the person coming was Pei Shaojun.
Cui Jing asked: "Who is here? How dare you disturb the court?!"
"Sir, I am the young master of the Pei family in Yuzhou, Pei Shaojun! He is now a doctor in Jinxuan Hospital. I saw with my own eyes that this woman wanted to take Grandma Sun home forcibly."
The young master of the Pei family in Yuzhou?
Cui Jing waved his hand and let the person in.
"Qiao Yuxin! I want to ask you, is what Mr. Pei said true?"
"Sir! The civilian woman did go that day, but my mother-in-law didn't want to stay any longer and begged the civilian woman to take her home! Thinking about it, they must have abused my mother-in-law! That's why my mother-in-law was so scared that she didn't dare to go back.
