Chapter 202

"Jiang Shangshu," Sun Xu said with a straight face, "the court is not a place where you come at random. You'd better listen to the witness first."

Before Jiang Quan had time to speak, butterfly kowtowed to sun Xu and said, "Lord Hui, I'm here to account for my wife's crimes." She lowered her head, but her voice was clear and clear, which could be heard by the people watching the crowd: "at that time, my wife was only an aunt. Although the master loved his aunt and miss, she was the master's mother. My aunt has always been arrogant and comes from the family of high-ranking officials and nobles. Naturally, she is not willing to be subordinated to others. Although she does not eat badly in Shangshu mansion, sometimes she even has a higher status than her first wife, she is still dissatisfied. "

Although butterfly's words are just a statement of facts, they are very different when they are heard by others. Who doesn't know how Xia Cheng's title came from. If it wasn't for brother Zao's early death, he would never have been a concubine. Even after Xia Yan entered the Shangshu mansion, she was just the daughter of a little official and a concubine. She was not a noble in the official family, and preferred to have the face to say so. How could Jiang Quan marry Zhao Mei instead of Xia Yan? The daughter of a common son is so vain. According to butterfly, Xia Yan's position in Shangshu mansion is even higher than Zhao Mei's. This is not to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife. What is it?

Although people had heard the rumor that Jiang Quan favored Xia Yan, they thought it was after Zhao Mei's death. It was not long after Zhao Mei married into Shangshu mansion that Jiang Quan went so far. Is it that you have a fancy to the power in other people's house? Once you find that you can't bring any benefits to your official career, you will show your true face.

Butterfly continued: "later, later, my aunt thought, as the official of the imperial court, the master couldn't find a way to divorce his wife for no reason, so he had to live under others all his life. If he didn't want to, he wanted to poison his wife. On that day, my aunt bought a lot of exotic poisons and mixed them in her daily meals. The first lady was poisoned bit by bit. Later, the toxin accumulated more and more, and she died. And all this, the master also knows, once my aunt's poison was found by the master, the master also said to my aunt to be careful, don't leave any handle Butterfly then kowtowed two heads to sun Xu: "my Lord, what the daughter of the people said is true, and she never dares to cheat."

"Nonsense! What nonsense Pointing at the butterfly, Jiang Quan angrily scolded: "who gives you the courage to talk nonsense here to disturb people's hearts, butterfly, don't forget who you are! You are my servant of Chiang's house

Butterfly shook his head: "master probably forgot that butterfly's deed of sale is no longer there, and butterfly is not a member of Shangshu mansion." When she said this, although she tried to suppress something, there was still a trace of hatred in her eyes.

Jiang Quan's words stopped, and sun Xu was shocked by another beat: "silence!"

Butterfly knelt on the ground, language out of surprise: "back to adult words, women still have evidence to say!"

When Jiang Quan was stunned, sun Xu said in a deep voice, "where is the evidence?"

Butterfly looks at Jiang Ruan, who is sitting on one side of the seat safely. The smile on her lips seems to have not been shaken from the beginning to now. Butterfly is calm in her heart and says frankly: "it was in the house where the wife lived. Because the medicine was so precious at the beginning, the husband didn't know when the wife would be the first to be terminally ill. She thought that the medicine would be useful in the future Then he ordered the women to keep it. On the same day, the woman buried the medicine package under the tree in the lady's yard. But the prescription was still there. Later the master said it was useful, so he received it in the study box. Coincidentally, later, somehow, the master forgot about the box. Once the lady asked the maid to clean up the study, and the maid sent the box to the innermost wooden box. That wooden box won't be touched for many years, because it's full of old things. "

Zhao Guangchong, sun Xu arched his hand, and the voice was already unquestionable: "Mr. Sun, since the evidence has been put out, do you want to ask someone to search it?"

"Naturally." Sun Xu looked serious and said, "I have ordered officers and soldiers to search Shangshu mansion."

Jiang Quan sneered: "it's ridiculous. Do you think you can convict me with a few words of nonsense? Butterfly, I think you are not afraid of death! " He felt that he had a plan in mind. The officers and soldiers would not find anything in the room. Not to mention when Xia Yan poisoned at the beginning, he didn't directly intervene, even Xia Yan himself would not be stupid enough to leave evidence. Xia Yan is careful and thorough in his work. He will clean up any handle. Although he didn't know what advantage butterfly had received from Jiang Ruan to make a false evidence, Jiang Quan also admitted that not everyone in Shangshu mansion could come in. Especially the most important study, he had to check several times a day. He had never heard of wooden cases or boxes.

Butterfly is about to lie, but the real evidence is not out. If you can't get it out, you can't be convicted. What about butterfly? He thought so and went to see Jiang Ruan's look. But seeing Jiang and Ruan sitting upright, he seemed to notice his eyes and turned to smile at him. Jiang Ruan's smile was even more calm than Jiang Quan's, and there seemed to be some subtle sarcasm. The sight made Jiang Quan's heart wake up immediately, and he could not help being afraid. Jiang Quan didn't know how evil her daughter was. For so many years, neither the Xia family nor she had been able to get any advantage from her. Jiang's house is a copper wall and iron wall, and she can't keep it. What strange way can she come up with to harm others.Just at this time, the officers and men in charge of the search have come back. With a report, the officers and men in charge of the search stride into the court. They bend over and whisper a few words with sun Xu. Sun Xu listens and takes a look at Jiang Quan. Jiang Quan "clatters" in his heart. Before he could think about it, sun Xu clapped his head in amazement and said, "bold Jiang Quan! As an official of the imperial court, you are not strict in governing your family. You let your concubine harm others, or even collude with others, to murder your wife. What's your crime? The officers and soldiers have found evidence in the wooden boxes and boxes in your house. What else do you have to say? "After that, the official around him presented an iron box, which everyone could see clearly. A piece of shallow paper floated out of the box opened by sun Xu himself, and he could not do it in full view of the public.

Zhao Yuanping got up and went to sun Xu. Please take it and watch it. After reading it at a glance, Zhao Yuanping returned the paper to sun Xu. When he looked at Jiang Quan again, his smile was full of Indifference: "Jiang Shangshu is really good at planning and scheming. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, I didn't know there would be such a wolf in the world."

Zhao Yuanping has always been used to silent sarcasm. When Jiang Quan heard this, he was very angry, but he couldn't believe it. He came out today to accept the case, but before he left, he had a good inspection of his study. He didn't see any wooden cases or boxes. How could they suddenly come out. What the hell is going on? He cried out: "this is not what I did, sun Xu. As the case department, you must pay attention to finding out the truth. That is, with a small prescription, how dare you bring me to justice? This is clearly someone deliberately framed me? Don't you know? "

"I always look at evidence." Sun Xu is not tight and slow. He didn't receive the threat in Jiang Quan's words, but what kind of case was this? It was Xiao Shao's wife, now Princess Jinying, and the former Princess Hong'an who complained in person. What kind of power is Jinying palace behind her? No one knows the officialdom of Jin Dynasty. Xiao Shao has said hello in person. How dare he neglect it. Moreover, the woman who was killed in this case is still the apple of the eye of the general's mansion. If she doesn't give an explanation, with the character of Zhao Guang's family, I'm afraid she will tear down this case, not to mention the one in the palace.

Although the case division is in charge of the cases that ordinary people do not dare to deal with, even if it involves many bureaucrats in Beijing, it is because sun Xu himself relies on the emperor for his official career and does not need to rely on anyone's face. But if the emperor's confidants, water to clear, then no fish, sun Xu knows this truth. After so many years of sitting in such an offending official position, sun Xu still stands firm in the court. He is also very good at being a man. Now xuanpei's position in the palace is rising, and the emperor has a green eye on him. The fifth Prince and the eighth prince are only fighting openly and secretly, but who can tell exactly who will take the throne. Maybe the future Prince of Dajin Dynasty is the newly emerged thirteen highness. Xuan Pei specially asked people to come and say hello. Although he didn't know why, sun Xu felt a lot of pressure. It is precisely because of his colleagues' many years that sun Xu can see clearly that it is very difficult for Jiang Quan to do good this time, because everyone he offends has the ability to kill him.

Zhao Yuanfeng said leisurely: "Jiang Shangshu, that Shangshu mansion is your mansion. Naturally, only your people can go in. You don't know when the box was put in. You can't ask us outsiders for answers. You know, since the founding of your Shangshu mansion, except for my little sister, the Zhao family has never set foot in it. "

What Zhao Yuanfeng said is not without irony. At the beginning, Zhao Mei broke off contact with the Zhao family. Later, after Zhao Mei died, the Jiang family also banned all contact with the general's house. Even secretly regard the general's house as a strong enemy. The Zhao and Jiang families never deal with it. It's impossible for the Zhao family to enter the Jiang's house.

Jiang Quan met a nail, but he didn't want to fight with Zhao Yuanfeng. Now he is aware of the importance of the matter. With all the human and material evidence, sun Xu's attitude is very difficult to get rid of the crime. By this time, Jiang Quan, who was always full of confidence, was already in a panic. He desperately thought about how the box would appear in the study, and his eyes swept around the crowd without focus, and suddenly stopped.

A familiar figure mingled in the crowd. It was a pretty young woman. Jiang Ruan was stunned. A few thoughts flashed through his mind and immediately roared out: "Xia Yue! You cunt, you hurt me

The figure of the woman in the crowd is Xia Yue, who is now the master mother of Shangshu mansion. Originally, she looked at Jiang Quan with her head down to avoid Jiang Quan's eyes. Now when she heard that Jiang Quan called out so loudly, she was a little annoyed and turned red for a moment.

However, Jiang Quan seemed to understand in a flash, and regardless of the occasion, he angrily scolded: "that's her! It's this bitch who colludes with outsiders to harm me. Only she can enter my study everyday! She is the only one who can't help but put things in in the shortest time. Xia Yue, I treat you well. You are so cruel to murder your husband! You wicked woman

Xia Yue was in the crowd, and everyone turned their eyes on her. She forbeared, and suddenly shed two lines of tears: "master, since yueniang married you, what's wrong with you? How can you treat me like this, or even throw such a terrible charge on yueniang? How can yueniang frame up the master? If there is anything wrong with the master, what can yueniang, a lonely and helpless woman, do? Yueniang knows that master and sister Yan are very close to each other. Yueniang can't be loved by master since she passed by. But master, yueniang is also your wife. How can you treat yueniang like this? " She was born a little thin and timid, and her words showed a very sad state. She knelt down and kowtowed to the front door of the court: "just, master, since you and I have a fight, if yueniang can save master, yueniang will willingly save master's life! That box and wooden box were put by yueniang, right! "When she said this, she burst into tears and almost fainted. People naturally sympathize with the weak. If the weak is a good woman, their compassion will be doubled. The more Xia Yue said that, the more people suspected that Jiang Quan had framed his new wife. He was really a selfish man. Xia Yue's words are reasonable. Indeed, now that the Xia family is gone, why should she frame up Jiang Quan? When Jiang's house falls down, she becomes a widow and it's not easy for her to live. As for Xia Yue's saying that Jiang Quan still remembers Xia Yan's story, people sneer in their hearts. They are afraid that only a man like Jiang Quan in the world will never forget a woman who is unfaithful and unclean and wears a green hat on herself. It's really a pot with a lid.

Jiang Ruan smiles and looks at Xia Yue's performance in the crowd, only to find it interesting. Xia family women seem to have a natural talent for acting, especially in the matter of attracting tears and sympathy. What Jiang Quan ate most in those days was Xia Yan's style. Now Xia Yan is replaced by Xia Yue. I don't know that Jiang Quan can stand it now. Women's lies and tears, only really experienced to know. Now Jiang Quan is afraid to hate the Xia family.

Xia Yue is a smart man. Since Xia's family has fallen down, her chess piece to maintain the relationship between Xia and Jiang has no effect. Xia Yue herself knows that with Jiang Quan's ambition, she will one day kick her useless stumbling block aside. Besides, she is now the mother of the Chiang family. She knows exactly what the Chiang family looks like. A mansion with an empty shell will collapse sooner or later. How can Jiang Quan be reconciled to her when Xia Yue is young again. Xia's women are always ambitious. Even if Xia Yue is a distant cousin, she won't be willing to bury herself for a lifetime. Jiang Ruan made a deal with her. Xia Yue sold Jiang Quan for her future without hesitation.

Jiang Quan was already mad. People around him looked at him with suspicion in their eyes. He wanted to find someone who could help him speak, but in the end he found that all the people who could speak for him were gone. His wife, his children, his colleagues, even his allies, are not around now. He suddenly found that he has become a abandoned one, he has become a useless abandoned son.

"Is that what you want?" Jiang Quan stared at Jiang Ruan with a deep smile: "you let everyone betray me, my good daughter, ha ha, I didn't know I had such a good daughter!"

"If you do more injustice, you will die." Jiang Ruan lightly replied: "Jiang Shangshu, there are gods in his head. When you did all this to my mother that day, you should think of this ending. " Yes, she wanted Jiang Quan to taste the end of betrayal. In his former life, his father planned strategies to turn all the people he didn't pay attention to into chessmen in his hands and stepping stones of Jiang's house, paving the way for Jiang Susu's empress step by step. Every step of the glory of the Chiang family was created by stepping on the blood of their mother and son. Now it's time for Jiang Quan to try it. This kind of struggle has no door, lonely despair, and suddenly found betrayed by all people, found himself worthless ridiculous. Like playing chess? sure! In this life, let the person in charge of the game transpose. She will write the game, but he is just a useless piece in the last step of the game!

Jiang Quan suddenly shut up, he looked straight at Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan's undisguised hatred and crazy eyes fell on his eyes, he suddenly felt a burst of fear. He did not know where Jiang Ruan's hatred came from. How could a man show such a terrible look like a man eating beast.

"Jiang Quan, can you plead guilty?" Sun Xu saw that it was almost noisy now. He clapped and cheered.

He looked at Sun Xu in the hall and suddenly began to laugh. He stood in the middle and said with disdain, "Sun Xu, what kind of high-profile do you pretend to be? Since we are officials in the same Dynasty, there is no innocence. When you treat me like this today, I admit that I am inferior to others in power and have nothing to say. I also admit this sin! But remember, I'm just submissive to power. Today, if my power can compete with it any more, I'll fight for it anyway! "

When Jiang Ruan heard what he said, the corners of his eyes slowly bent down and began to smile. He is worthy of Jiang Quan. He has been an official for many years, and he can see the importance at a glance. In fact, human evidence is not the most important thing, and material evidence is not the most important. It depends on how the case is tried. Sun Xu's attitude is the most important thing. Jiang Quan thought that sun Xu would not dare to do too much for the sake of his colleagues. But Sun Xu's attitude can only show one thing. Someone is supporting Jiang Ruan. No matter who that person is, it is inevitable that sun Xu will bow down for him. When Jiang Quan confessed, he even kept his hand. He pretended to be so generous, but the last few sentences were imaginative and made people think of other things involuntarily. It's really sinister to admit guilt and pour a basin of dirty water on Jiang Ruan and sun Xu.

But how could Jiang Quan do such a thing? Jiang Ruan smiles. Jiang Quan never wastes time on useless things. Now that you've confessed, what's the effect of this innocuous splashing of dirty water? This kind of incompetent man, who seems to be able to do anything, finally scrambled and bit at random. In Jiang Ruan's eyes, he only felt ridiculous. She slowly stood up and went to Jiang Quan. Everyone looked at the father and daughter in silence. Jiang Quan was very emotional. His old face was red and twisted, and his thin protruding cheekbones turned black. He was no longer a handsome young official. But Jiang Ruan was just a young man, with a snow complexion and a calm look, even with a gentle smile.They are ugly, beautiful, manic, calm, angry and smiling. There is no father daughter attitude. Jiang Ruan walked up to Jiang Quan, who glared at her tightly. There was anger and resentment in his eyes, even a trace of fear, but he couldn't find a trace of warmth. Jiang Ruan was used to it. She stopped in front of Jiang Quan, suddenly sighed and said softly, "it turns out that Jiang Shangshu, who has always been ambitious and ambitious, will succumb to power."

She sighed, but it was like a thump on Jiang Quan's heart. What vaguely appeared before his eyes was when he became a new rich man in the imperial court. Although his ambition was bigger than heaven, his fortune was thinner than paper. He has always wanted to make the appearance of being clean and free from worldly pollution, but now he wants to take the initiative to admit that he has fallen in the footsteps of power. It was a fatal blow to him and an unbearable shame. And the shame came from his daughter, who was grinding the earth from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Ruan Yue was brilliant, and the more Jiang Quan felt humble. He is a cowardly and hypocritical man from the bottom of his heart. He always valued the eyes of others. That's why he used so many years to make himself a clean and honest man. At this moment, as soon as the skin was torn open, Jiang Quan couldn't help but feel that he couldn't lift it up in one breath, and he fainted.

Two officials rushed to take Jiang Quan down. Sun Xu was shocked and said, "the guilty Minister Jiang Quan pleaded guilty in court. He conspired with his concubine Xia to harm his wife and his children. The crime is unforgivable. The evidence is clear. There are thousands of people's eyes, state-owned laws, family rules, and all kinds of evils. According to the law, he will be sent to the prison and the case will be declared the next day."

The crowd outside was boiling. Zhao Guang clenched his fists tightly. Today, he had restrained himself very well. But even when he heard Jiang Quan plead guilty, he knew that he would not be able to escape the blame. Zhao Guang still couldn't stop losing control. Zhao Yuanjia comforted him, but Zhao Yuanping and Zhao Yuanfeng looked at each other with heavy eyes.

Jiang Ruan stood indifferently in the same place, watching Jiang Quan dragged away, slowly drooping his eyes, this is the end? Of course not.
