Chapter 43: Cross-examination

"Shut up! Where did the daunting folks dare to slander like this after eating

the guts of the bear heart and leopard!" Yan Ke loves Kuang Xihan the most.

However, he is holding it in his hand for fear of falling, and holding it in

his mouth for fear of melting, where is it? Can others say that I am not good

at all? I was so angry that I wanted to take the person who spoke and put him

in jail. I was so angry that even the guards were hit, "What are you guys

doing stupidly? Don't take her down quickly!"And when she gave this order, the guards of the palace immediately responded,

and they were about to go up to take people. There was a commotion in the

crowd, some of them were frightened and retreated by the posture of this

official, and some were ** and motivated to refuse to accept. Intimidated, I

was about to rush forward to resist-seeing that it was about to riot, I had to

say: "Hold on!"While begging Yan Ke with his eyes to restrain the guards not to be impulsive.She frowned, she didn't want to brush me at all, she only waved her hand and

taught the guards to stand on the spot, with a cold face to block all those

who were trying to come closer, screaming to clear the scene, leaving me a

word room.I smiled with her, but couldn't help sighing in my heart: If I didn't mean to

be rich and wealthy, and believed that her love for Kwong Xihan would not seem

to be a falsehood, how could I be allowed to follow the law and control

everything in exchange for someone else? The housekeeper?It is necessary to be afraid of her deceiving the young master, and the

suspicion of holding the emperor to make princes.Want to come to Kuang Xihan so disgusted that Yan Ke slandered Kuang Xiqing in

front of her, it might have been a bit rebellious."Who is the one speaking? Don't hide in the crowd, blindly instigate

provocation...Since you keep accusing this king of fault, you might as well

stand up, speak clearly in front of everyone, and teach this king to know.

What is the relationship between the natural disaster like Jinhe’s bursting

bank and the weak mortal womb of this king!" I said aloud, and gestured to the

nearby guards with my eyes, and taught them to keep an eye on the person who

spoke. If she wants to take advantage of the chaos Run, catch her out and

interrogate her.I don’t know that the person seems to be confident. Hearing what I said, he

didn’t panic. Instead, he stepped forward carelessly, letting more than a

hundred pairs of eyes stare at her, and inadvertently made a bet at everyone,

but his eyes were wrong. Just staring at me nicely, with provocations in his

eyes: "My fellow Cao Xianmin, a native of Laijing County, Xiangwei City, lives

on the edge of the river. His grandparents and grandchildren have been working

in a family for three generations. Even though there are no officials in this

generation, then He is also a good citizen of his duty. The family has a few

acres of thin fields, and the life is easy. Who would think that this flood

flooded the fields and livestock of ten miles and eight villages, even the

villagers who had lost their families were countless. There are 12 people in

my family, but I am the only one who escaped to death!"She spoke in detail, and was well-founded, as if she had prepared a statement

long ago. Before I waited for my question, she listened to her speech, with a

bit of crying in her voice, and she stared at me even more. With a bit of

resentment: "You do evil! I only thought that the calamity that came from this

day was because God blamed us for not working hard and sacrificing to the

heavens, but it was actually a good thing done by the corrupt official

silverfish-not a natural disaster, it is Man-made disaster!""Natural disasters are natural disasters, man-made disasters are man-made

disasters, but you can't just listen to your slanderous nonsense, vouchers?"

Yan Ke saw me mediating with her with great interest, without urging me, and

beckoned to teach the attendant to move the table and chair and put it at the

gate of the post. Put on a posture for a long talk.I couldn’t get rid of it, so I had to sit down; but she sent a waiter to bring

fruit tea to eat with me, quite a bit of spoiling for me, but it weakened my

original serious interrogation a little bit, and it was more like a leisurely

interrogation. The dude who came to join in the fun.I smiled bitterly in my heart, just not seeing the contempt and resentment in

the eyes of the audience, posing a light and breezy look, but I couldn't help

but quietly glanced at the indifferent Jiang Zhuo next to her, and

deliberately acted in front of her. So he cleared his throat and sat down

tightly, letting Cao Xianmin speak, silently thinking about how to deal with

it.I heard her sneer, clasped her fists to the sky and arched her hands, and said

sternly: "Xianhuang Shengming, I know that Xiangwei is located in the lower

reaches of the river and floods are frequent. Every year in the flood season,

a large sum of money is allocated to reinforce the dam. Therefore, the current

river is fierce, but there are few major disasters. Nowadays, the precedent

has not been changed. If it is to be in accordance with common sense, if the

river’s water surging again, it will not be able to pass the dyke-the Xiangwei

city The prefect is a foolish lard, not only deducting the money for building

the dam, but also cutting the workers’ wages. A good dam only has a

superficial effort, how can it withstand the waves?"She did a thorough analysis like this, which immediately aroused everyone's

response, and for a while, the emotions that had just been suppressed showed a

tendency to rebound again."Even if what you said is true, this king wants to ask-how did the Xiangwei

prefecture embezzle money, how did it fall on this king's head?" Pushing away

the attendant peeled the fruit to be handed over, I know her The topic was

about to come, and he straightened up quickly, waiting for her to speak.Sure enough, she suddenly pointed at me, gritted her teeth and shouted: "When

the matter is up to this day, do you still want to deny? No one knows, no one

knows, the prefect of Xiangwei City Wang Hu was pulled by you Ling Wang. ,

She’s greedy for ink, but most of it went into your pocket!"——Wang Hu? Who is that?Not to mention, I really don't know about it...In Kuang Xihan’s scattered memories, I didn’t have much impression. For this

reason, I turned my head and asked Yan Ke in a low voice: "Aunt Ke, what she

said is true?" In fact, I wanted to ask that Wang even more. What exactly is

Hu's background and what does it have to do with Kuang Xihan? Just because she

was suspicious, I didn't mention it."Nonsense!" Yan Ke immediately retorted, "Who is Wang Hu, the prefect of the

district, dare you want to get entangled with His Royal Highness? Besides,

even if Wang Hu is filial and respectful, with my dignity, How can you see the

income that these people have turned in for corruption?"Her vocal refutation sounded reasonable, but it was really frightening when

she carefully tasted it-although she despised the act of taking bribes, she

did not deny the fact that Wang Hu was corrupt, nor did she clarify the

position of the Ling Wang Mansion. It is the arrogance that all the products

are the only one who is the only one who is the only one. If I am added to the

jealousy by the caring people, there is no bargaining. I don't know how to

reply for a while, but it is a little messy.So Cao Xianmin really did not let go of the omissions in her words, and smiled

with his palms: "Yes, you don't look down on this small city in Lingwang

Mansion, I am afraid that what you are plotting is the whole world!"Her words are utterly condemned. If she doesn't justify her words, she can

only teach people to bully me, who is weak as Ling Wang. It would be

unacceptable to be accused of trying to usurp the throne for no reason."Your hat is buttoned too much... how heavy is the punishment for falsely

accusing the prince, do you know?" Looking back at each other without

hesitation, trying to make myself look more prestigious, I raised my voice and

questioned. "This king is really curious. You are a commoner, saying that you

have never read a book and no one is an official at home. How can you be sure

that the prefect Wang Hu is suspected of corruption? How do you know how the

official position of Wang Hu was obtained? According to my king, your

conversation and vision are not what ordinary peasant women should have.""This..." She probably only thought that I would try to deny my ambitions and

justify the suspicion of taking bribes, but she didn't expect that I would not

play the cards according to the rules and instead seized the loopholes in her

words to question.Without giving her a chance to think about counterattack, I motioned to the

guards on both sides to step forward and stop her immediately; one of them

cleverly pulled out a piece of cloth and quickly blocked her mouth.Regardless of her fierce struggle, I looked at the crowd who was starting to

move again because of this change, trying to make a gentle and friendly

expression, and patiently explained: "Everyone, listen to this king. This king

knows that his reputation is not good, and you have misunderstood. It is also

inevitable; but this Jinhe’s levee is related to the lives of the people, the

greed of ink worship is also related to the face of the royal family, the king

must clarify one or two. This man has a lot of lies, and is full of errors.

She was fooled by her slander and clashed with the guards of the palace, but

wasted her life, why bother?"After a pause, I turned my eyes to look at Jiang Zhuo. She was frowning and

looking at the bound Cao Xianmin, her expression gloomy and obscure; I felt

lost for a while, and then went to find Yan Ke, she stared at me and saw me.

Seeing her, he nodded to me to show encouragement-with her support, I felt a

little bit emboldened in my heart."In order to clear up the rumors, the king decided to invest in the

establishment of porridge sheds in the flood-affected areas, spread rations,

build houses and schools, and provide relief to the victims-as for this

deceitful villain, the king wants to send her away I hope you will take her as

a warning, don’t do nothing, let alone challenge the majesty of the heavens!”

After hurriedly speaking, I pulled up my sleeves and walked back to the

station with my head up; even though I pretended to be innocent, I was full of

mind. But all fell on the people behind me who were silent after I finished

speaking, so nervous that their palms were sweating coldly, for fear that this

perfunctory rhetoric of concealing the concept would teach people to explain

it.——After investigating to the end, I dare not vowed to promise the integrity of

the Xiangwei prefect, let alone the beginning and end of her and the Lingwang

Mansion.Spending money to comfort the victims is the only way I can think of.Just when I was about to step into the inner courtyard, I only heard sparse

discussions one after another. The crowd who was still impassioned about

rushing into the post had dispersed in twos and threes. This massive farce

finally ended. Hastily ended-my heart that had been hanging high finally fell,

my stiff back loosened, my legs softened, and almost collapsed to the ground.At this moment, I stretched out my hands in the oblique thorn, and firmly

supported my arm; with the inertia, I plunged into the person's arms, and the

familiar cold breath taught me to suddenly relax my defenses, simply Leaning

all the strength of my body on her, letting her half hold and half hug me and

walk me into the room-no matter how many pairs of eyes are watching in full

view, only the secret sweetness in my heart is quietly fermenting, and I can't

help it. To indulge this moment of forgetfulness.This distance was only a moment away, and this short sweetness was also

fleeting.I heard Yan Ke's depressed cough, I sighed, but reluctantly got up from Jiang

Zhuo's arms, sat back upright in the chair, and waited for her to ask

questions-I also knew my own The performance is really not like Kuang Xihan

herself. It is natural for her to be suspicious. Unfortunately, I only try to

get upset for a while, but I haven't considered how to deal with it."His Royal Highness..." Yan Ke looked at me and stopped talking, teaching me a

tremor, and couldn't help thinking of escaping."Come here, bring that Cao Xianmin." I intercepted her words, and I shouted to

the guard outside the house-the corner of my eye swept Yan Ke helplessly shook

his head, did not hold me anymore? put.Cao Xianmin was twisted and sent in by the guards, forced to kneel on the

ground, his mouth was stuffed with cloth, his hands were tied behind his back,

and he couldn't move. He stared at me fiercely with only one pair of eyes,

unwilling to give in.Knowing that most of the people gathered outside the inn had left, only a few

remained unswervingly guarding the door, intending to inquire about some

incredible secrets, so I stopped the guards from driving them away, and I did

not allow the officers and soldiers of the government office. Arbitrarily

arrest people-if it arouses public outrage, then my only emotional performance

will be all in vain.With a little bit of happiness that I had escaped, I didn't have any stern

thoughts about her. I just told the guards to close the door and remove the

fabric from her mouth; pretending to hold up the tea cup, skittering the tea

foam, I just settled and waited for her. Speak, and don't take the initiative

to ask questions.Her patience is not as good as I expected, but after a little tea, she

couldn't help but mutely asked, "Even if you are a prince, you can't arrest me

without any evidence. Xingtang!""You also know that this king is a dignified prince. What's the big deal when

interrogating a civilian who has committed a disturbance? Even if you are

beaten to death indiscriminately, what can you do?" On the hand side, I held

my chin, and learned the calm posture of Kuang Xiqing when he went to court,

and said casually."You! Dog thief! Kill me if you have the ability!" she shouted angrily,

seemingly intending to teach people outside to hear it.I shook my head. I didn't get angry because of her verbal abuse. I just taught

others to condemn like this in front of my sweetheart. Is it displeased?"Don't deliberately make such a gesture, this king won't eat this set," I

looked at the close doors and windows, and I didn't bother to teach the guards

to stop her mouth again, just warned in a cold voice, "The master behind you

is Who, what is the purpose, this king knows perfectly well-if it weren't for

a long line to catch a big fish, you would have been a corpse by now."I say this only to deceive her. Although there is a vague object of suspicion,

I am not sure at all; and torture is something I can’t do, so I can only use

this little trick to test. That's it.When she heard me say this, she sneered nonchalantly, with a look of disdain,

but her eyes drifted for a moment.When I was about to ask carefully, I heard Yan Ke slapped a palm on the

armrest, and said in hatred: "You said, did Kuang Xiqing's hands and feet

behind his back sent someone to ruin your Highness's reputation!"I couldn't stop it, so I had to keep an eye on Cao Xianmin's expression; I saw

her pursing her mouth, as if panicked by guessing, her eyes suddenly revealed

a touch of determination.I secretly said that it was not good. Just about to teach the guards to stop

her, Jiang Zhuo, who had been silent beside her, suddenly jumped to her side,

squeezed her chin, put his hands hard, just listened to the sound of "click".

Removed her joints-unfortunately, it was too late.Cao Xianmin smiled "hehe" and slowly fell to the ground, with blood dripping

from his mouth, the front ** were wetted with saliva, and then dripped on

the floor, gradually converging into a terrible red.The wheezing changed from light to heavy, and then became lighter, and finally

there was no breath; this change was only a few short breaths, and when

everyone reacted, she had died.
