After hearing this, Su Peisheng was shocked and kept saying: "That 120,000 taels of silver was actually given to Lord Taili by the noble lady?"
He heard that not long after Shu Mulu Gongming was escorted to Beijing, Master Taili suddenly found the silver that he had not been looking for for a long time, and he petitioned to start the case immediately.
Under Ru Liu's surprised gaze, Shu Mulu said solemnly: "Yes, I discovered the location where he hid his silver from the letter sent by Amma, and then asked Ru Liu to go out of the palace to dig it out and secretly hand it over to Master Tai Li.
Otherwise, who would be able to find such a hidden silver hiding place?"
Su Peisheng thought it was true: "What the noble man said is exactly what he said. Alas, it is admirable that the noble man can kill his relatives with justice. I will tell the emperor now."
When Su Peisheng relayed Shu Mulu's words to Yinzhen, Yinzhen couldn't help but be startled. He stared at Su Peisheng and said, "She gave the silver to Taili?"
"Exactly, Shu Mulu Gongming hid the silver in his ancestral grave. If Hui Gui hadn't asked Ru Liu to dig it out, who could have found it. Although I have no knowledge, I feel that Hui Gui's move is really rare." Su Peisheng noticed that Yinzhen
There was a violent turmoil in my heart, so I quickly took the opportunity to put in a good word for Mr. Shu Mulu.
At this moment, a joyful voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment has made a verdict on Shu Mulu Gongming's case, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to review it."
Yinzhen's already somewhat moved expression turned cold due to these words. After returning to the imperial desk, he sat down and said, "Bring it in."
Sixi entered with the memorial in his hands, presented it to Yinzhen respectfully, and then stepped aside.
Yinzhen opened the memorial and saw that it was written that the case of Shu Mulu Gongming's corruption and perversion of the law was found to be true, and the stolen money had been found, so Shu Mulu Gongming and his wife were sentenced to hanging according to the law. As for his daughter, they should have been hanged together.
She was sentenced to death by hanging, but because she was a concubine in the palace, the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to make mistakes and asked Yinzhen to deal with it.
Su Peisheng secretly glanced at the contents of the memorial, and when he saw the word "hanging", he couldn't help but shudder. Alas, everything was fine originally, but unexpectedly this happened out of thin air. What a crime. The emperor didn't know this time
What will you do with the noble Hui who is kneeling outside?
There were only a few lines in the memorial, but Yinzhen read it for a long time. Originally, he had been avoiding Shu Mulu these days. The biggest reason was that he did not want to be troubled by her.
As for the other level... he was afraid, afraid that his lust for Shu Mulu was so strong that he could not contain it. Although he was dominated by lust that night, after that, he knew everything he had done. He didn't understand himself.
How come I have become so greedy? It feels like I have become a different person.
Or is it that he is simply such a person?!
Putting aside these for now, the most important thing now is how he should deal with the Shumulu family, whether by hanging or something else...
After thinking for a long time, Yinzhen gritted his teeth and threw the memorial to Sixi and said: "Let the Ministry of Punishment judge the crime according to the results of the trial. As for the Shumulu family... Su Peisheng, please pass on my decree. I want the Shumulu family to take the initiative to find out the stolen money and kill their relatives in a righteous way to prevent them from doing so."
Even if he dies, he will not escape the sin of living. He will be deprived of his status as a nobleman. Tomorrow he will go to Yong'an Temple to become a nun."
Keeping her alive and only allowing her to become a nun would be considered as fulfilling her righteousness of handing over the stolen money, so be it. Besides...Shurmulus is no longer in the palace, so his love for her should gradually fade away.
Su Peisheng stepped back as he was told, and said to Shu Mulu, who was looking forward to it: "Mr. Hui, the Ministry of Punishment has made a decision. Master Ming and his wife have been hanged. As for you..."
"What do I do, what does the emperor say?" Shu Mulu's parents' execution had been expected for a long time. Now she only cares about how Yinzhen will deal with her, and whether she will forgive herself for not taking the initiative to hand over the stolen money.
crime.
"The Emperor thought of what Hui Gui had done and decided to forgive Hui Gui the death penalty." Before Shu Mulu could be happy, Su Peisheng said again, "But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Let Hui Gui go to Yong'an Temple tomorrow to become a nun."
Yong'an Temple and Wanshou Temple are both royal temples, but Yong'an Temple is full of female nuns.
Shu Mulu shook his body and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty... did he really say that?"
"Well, Mr. Hui, please be more liberal. At least you still have your life."
Apart from this sentence, Su Peisheng didn't know what else to advise.
Ru Liu supported Shu Mulu who almost fell to the ground and said in a hoarse voice: "How can the emperor be so merciless? The master is also the one who sleeps with him. Besides, it is the master's family who committed the crime. What does it have to do with the master?"
Su Peisheng shook his head and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. I have tried my best to speak good words to Mr. Hui, but the emperor's will has been decided and cannot be controlled by a servant like me."
Before Ru Liu could say anything more, Shu Mulu had already raised his hand and said: "The emperor wants me to become a monk. I have nothing to say. I just want to see the emperor again before that, so that I will have no regrets. I also ask my father-in-law to help me in the last step."
once."
"Um..." Su Peisheng hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "That's all, I think that Mr. Hui treats me well, so I will go out of my way to help you one more time."
When Su Peisheng told Yinzhen this, Yinzhen shook his head and said, "It's already this time. Is there anything else to see? Let her leave quickly."
No matter how Su Peisheng tried to persuade him, Shu Mulu refused to leave and insisted on kneeling outside the Hall of Cultivation of Heart.
Naturally, she wanted to see Yinzhen not just for the last time. She belonged to the deep harem. Even if she died, she would never go to Yongan Temple to become a monk!
The news that Mrs. Shumulu was kneeling down in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation quickly spread throughout the six palaces of the East and West. Each palace had different reactions, but most of them rejoiced in the misfortune. Who made Mr. Shumulu so favored in the first place and stole the hearts of many people?
scenery.
Mrs. Liu also had the same idea. Although it would be much more difficult for her to deal with Concubine Xi once the Shumulu clan fell, the Shumulu clan was also a scourge, so it was natural that she could solve it without her taking action.
But soon, Mrs. Liu could no longer laugh, because Haitang brought the verdict of Shuntian Prefecture. Liu Changming killed a good citizen and forcibly married his wife as a concubine. The evidence of the crime was conclusive and he was executed according to the law and beheaded in the autumn. As for him,
Follow him for a long time, take the blame for others, and be punished with fifty rods.
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a long time, and then she came to her senses and said sternly: "Why is this happening? Didn't Shuntian Prefecture Yin accept our money?"
Haitang whispered: "I told the master that Shuntian Prefecture Yin took it, but when the case just started, he quietly sent someone to send the money back to Liu Mansion intact."
"What does Shuntian Prefecture think of our Liu family? He took the money and then returned it. Do you really think that our Liu family can't do anything to him?!" After scolding, Mrs. Liu said with a cold face: "How is father's situation?"
