Ling Sheng's whole body felt almost indescribably dead.
It's so dark that no light can be seen.
Faced with all kinds of pointing eyes, even the ladies next to her subconsciously stepped aside. Ms. Li hissed, "I really didn't! I didn't!"
However, who didn’t know about Miss Ling San’s encounter with bandits five years ago?
Besides, at the previous palace banquet, and vaguely in general, we had heard that Mrs. Li, the head mistress, was not as kind to the other aunts and ladies in the General's Mansion as she appeared to be.
If this is true, no, this is obviously true eight/nine times out of ten!
More than five years ago, the young lady in the mansion was not only disfigured but also lost her virginity. She narrowly escaped death.
Such a vicious woman is so terrifying!
"I didn't...I didn't! Master, sir, long live my lord, believe me, I didn't! I didn't find bandits to harm her!"
"I don't have one!" He cried blood every time, but it was a mute eating Coptis chinensis!
She knew it wasn't like this, it wasn't like this at all, but even if this kind of shit basin was placed on her head, she couldn't tell the truth about that year.
When a person is in a desperate situation, he either gives up the struggle and waits for death, or he puts himself to death and survives.
Li's mind, which had been frightened during this period, suddenly became clear, "As the mistress of a house, I have an innocent natal family and gave birth to two outstanding legitimate daughters. She, Ling Jing, is not the leader, and her mother is not.
She is an aunt of unknown origin, why should I harm her! What good will it do to me!"
She said bitterly, "Even if I don't like them, and the master is not in the house all year round, even if I treat them as two dogs, it's just a matter of giving them scraps! Why would I, Li Qiong, take such a risk to harm them!"
She looked at Baili Feiyue again, her eyes so poisonous that she almost died, "Ling Jing, your mother and I don't get along. Your mother thought you were gone. She was so sad that she died accidentally in a fire in the plum garden. You should tell all this."
Keep a grudge on my head!"
"I'm telling you, something has been wrong with you since you returned home, and now you are making up and performing a good show! What kind of bandit is this? I'm afraid you are the one who found it!"
Baili Feiyue sneered, "I found it? Did I know that I would be harmed today? Do you think I am a god? How can I arrange a 'bandit' more than ten years ago? Or, why don't you just tell the Ministry of Punishment directly?
Mr. Wang Shangshu is colluding with me?"
Anyone can collude with her, but Wang Shangshu from the Ministry of Punishment is absolutely impossible!
Not to mention Wang Shangshu, not even Mu Shilang!
Everyone present could understand this.
There is a Shangshu, two ministers, and three people in charge of the Ministry of Punishment. They are all inexperienced people who only focus on cases and have no power.
It is their destiny to solve the case and find out the truth.
And Baili Feiyue closed her eyes again, "I should have thought of it a long time ago. Ever since I returned home, you have been trying to make things difficult for me. At first, I thought you were just like in the past, and you didn't like me. I'm so naive.
Already."
Ling Sheng finally found his own voice, but it seemed to be coming from a distant place where he couldn't hear clearly, "Li Qiong, is it you?"
Li was stunned. What should she say? The bandit is really not her!
"Master, I really am not a concubine!"
"Then how do you explain this bandit's words?!"
"I don't know, I was really wronged!"
In fact, even if he is quibbling, many people present already have their own concerns. Even in Ling Sheng's own heart, after all, what has happened in the house since he returned to the house this time, people outside don't know, doesn't he still know?
.
It felt like something had hammered my heart into a dull numb state.
He actually had no energy left and had too many emotions.
Li just kept saying that she was being unfairly accused over and over again, but she couldn't explain why she was being unfairly accused.
When Zhan Xiuzhu saw this, he really wanted to run away. However, not only were the Royal Forest Army beside him, Baili Feiyue looked straight at him when he saw him moving, and her eyes grabbed him tightly, "Master Zhan can't stay still."
Already?"
"Ling Jing, I don't know what tricks you used to make those nuns tell lies, but you yourself know very well whether this child has anything to do with you!"
Baili Feiyue smiled, "Since I am no longer innocent, are you still afraid of giving me another child?"
"Ling Jing, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Baili Feiyue sneered and looked at Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, I suggest that Mr. Zhan be tortured!"
Emperor Jing frowned slightly, torture was undoubtedly the most common and effective method.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Then leave it to the Criminal Department." After all, Grandma had passed the test, and Ling Jing's loss of virginity was related to bandits, so Zhan Xiuzhu in front of her was obviously suspected of lying.
When Zhan Xiuzhu heard this, he knelt down. If he was tortured in this situation, he would not survive a narrow escape!
Even if you don’t die, you’ll shed a few layers of skin!
"Long live my lord! Ling Jing is going to give in to a trick!"
However, Emperor Jing just waved his hand and Zhan Xiuzhu was pinned down by the imperial guards on both sides.
The moment he was held down, Zhan Xiuzhu was really panicked. But things had reached this point, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.
It was at this time, at the entrance of the General's Mansion.
The two sedans stopped.
The boy beside the sedan helped an old woman out of one of the sedans, and a young daughter-in-law holding a child in her arms from the other sedan.
Lead him to the house.
As she walked away, the old woman asked, "Brother, my son is really lucky to be able to get acquainted with the General's Mansion, and to have the honor to invite you to the birthday banquet of our mother-in-law. By the way, little brother
, where is my son?”
The boy smiled and said, "Old lady, it's in the garden inside. We'll be there soon."
"Oh, okay, okay."
The old woman and the young daughter-in-law were both a little impatient. After all, the old woman had not seen her son for a long time, and the young daughter-in-law had not seen her husband for a long time.
But when they were happily looking forward to meeting, they heard a scream in the distance, and their expressions immediately changed. Why did this voice sound familiar?
Don't tell me that your child committed some taboo in the General's Mansion, right?
The old woman's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried toward the sound without waiting for the boy to lead the way.
But at a glance, he saw his son being held down and his fingers pinched by a few people who looked like officers and soldiers!
Fingers connected to the heart!
The old woman rushed over desperately and pounced on Zhan Xiuzhu, "What are you doing! Why did you hit my Abao!!"
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
However, no one reacted as big as Zhan Xiuzhu.
He turned to look at the old woman in almost horror.
When the old woman saw that the torturers around her were about to come around again, she immediately stood in front of her like a hen protecting her young, "What on earth did my A Bao do wrong?"
Looking at Zhan Xiuzhu's bloody hands, he felt even more hateful and painful, "Abao, mother has told you a long time ago that these wealthy families are not something people like us can afford. You just always have a higher heart than the sky."
! What are you doing here in such a big government office, you!"
At this time, the young wife also came over with the child in her arms. When she saw it, she saw that it was something extraordinary.
He also rushed over, whimpering with heartache and confusion, "Ms. sir, what's wrong with you..."
