For hundreds of years, the Tianjia family, the prince of * * Dynasty, was assassinated for the first time with such serious consequences.
Princess Yuyang has several swords in her body. Although the wounds are not in the key, they are all painful places that torture people, so that Princess Yuyang wakes up after several days of sleep. When the news came to the market, the people who were originally in the mood of watching the crowd all denounced the assassins for their cruelty, and there were also some people who suspected that Bu Qingyi was the culprit.
After all, there is no one who has such deep hatred with Princess Yuyang except Bu Qingyi.
The emperor had planned to arrange a joint trial of the three departments in private to settle the case. However, a group of courtiers, headed by several princesses and princesses, echoed and supported many people. The call for the joint trial to be held in public spread all over the streets overnight.
***The court had the law that major cases could be adjudicated openly. As the "Ming monarch" who always advocated governing the country according to law, the emperor could not oppose the four voices, so he had to order the third division to hold a joint trial in jingzhaofu Yamen. If the joint trial was located in jingzhaofu, the emperor could not participate in it personally.
However, Princess Yuyang and maid Dongqing must be present and personally identify buqingyi as the murderer.
A princess who stirred up the situation of the imperial capital and was suspected of assassinating a princess with deep gratitude and resentment, this trial is absolutely enough eye-catching. Therefore, on the day of the joint trial, although it had not yet arrived at the time of the trial planned by jingzhaofu, the onlookers on the inside and outside of the gate were already crowded into a group.
"This way, princess."
At noon, escorted by two commentators from Dali temple, bu Qingyi walks slowly to the front hall of jingzhaofu yamen, and sits at the long table on the left side, wearing seemingly frightening but very light shackles. Directly opposite her, Princess Yuyang, who is so weak that she can only sit in the chair, looks pale, and the maid Dongqing stands by her side.
Bu Qingyi nodded to Princess Yuyang, and did not say anything exciting or sarcastic.
She really didn't like Princess Yuyang, and even thought this kind of stupid woman was unreasonable, but after all, she was a hapless person who was injured for no reason, so there was no need to add insult to injury.
But Princess Yuyang's eyes at Bu Qingyi were not so kind.
In the joint trial of the three divisions, Dali temple first narrated the case and provided evidence. When the dagger was presented as an undocumented sword, Su Jinshang also appeared in the hall as a witness. The two women who had fallen out with each other actually coincided with each other before pointing out Bu Qingyi's evidence.
"Although the assassin was wearing a veil that night and could not see her face clearly, Dongqing and I could hear her voice clearly. It was her, Princess Qingxiang Bu Qingyi!" Princess Yuyang was panting, and her trembling fingers pointed to bu Qingyi.
"If you cover your face, the sound will change because of the shelter. You two cut off your ears from the donkey. Can you hear it so accurately?" Bu Qingyi retorted calmly.
Princess Yuyang trembled with anger: "other people's voices may not be heard, but I can recognize your voice even if it turns to ashes!"
"Don't make a fuss. You can't even listen to me correctly. It's even more unreliable to burn you to ashes." Bu Qingyi sneered and turned to Holly, "and you. When I was invited to Wanyun hall for dinner, I only said a few words. How could you be so wise and remember my voice so clearly? Have you taken a fancy to me long ago? "
"You -- you're too brazen!" Holly is as angry as Princess Yuyang, and her face is as red as blood.
Bu Qingyi was sitting lazily in the chair and didn't pay attention to their evidence. Seeing that the scene was deadlocked, Xu Wei licked his dry tongue and said in a low voice, "it's far fetched to convict only by voice."
"It's not just far fetched? It's ridiculous A rebuke outside the door added a lot of strength to Xu Wei's low voice explanation.
Everyone turned to look at the door. Lu Jingyi appeared in the hall with three young women behind him.
"We can't just rely on conjecture to adjudicate unjust cases. We need to repeatedly examine any doubtful points before we can find out the truth." Lu Jingyi pushes the three women to bu Qingyi and looks firmly at Xu Wei and others. "If Princess Yuyang and Dongqing can accurately judge Princess Qingxiang's voice, they will know by a try."
"Jing Yi, are you crazy?" Yuyang Princess patted the table and got up, but because she was weak, she fell back to her chair. She looked at Lu Jingyi angrily, and her eyes almost burst out: "no matter how bad it is, you are also the assistant inspector of Dali temple. How can you make mistakes in front of right and wrong because of your children's private affairs? You're covering up! It's ignoring the facts! "
Lu Jingyi is not moved: "what I do is to find the truth, not to let innocent people be wronged and humiliated."
"The truth is that this woman assassinated the princess. Why did king Jin turn his elbow to speak for the murderer?" Dongqing holds the puffing Yuyang princess, and the spearhead points to bu Qingyi.
"Well, it's a joint trial, not a vegetable market. How can a case be tried even if there's so much noise?" The Minister of punishment impatiently interrupted both sides and said, "what does King Jin mean by a try? It's not going to be a joint trial, is it? "
Xu Wei glanced at the Secretary of the Ministry of punishment and turned his eyes secretly.
Gao Jin, the Minister of punishment, and the former Minister of rites were good friends in the Ming Dynasty. They had a lot of interests in private. When they were forced to personally verify and convict their friends, they were full of complaints. They also learned from the Ming Dynasty that the troublemaker was Bu Qingyi. Now that he has the chance to censor Bu Qingyi, he naturally doesn't want to let go of the great opportunity. He just wants all the people who block him to kick away.Lu Jingyi has never seen the world before. Because of his status, he is not afraid of anyone's face. He nodded slightly to the three women, who took out their veils from their sleeves and covered them. One of them handed one to bu Qingyi.
"Dongqing claims to be able to distinguish the voice of Princess Qingxiang, so you might as well verify it in court to see if she can judge who is the real princess Qingxiang only by hearing." With a wave of his hand, Lu Jingyi's subordinates brought a screen from outside and placed it between Bu Qingyi, Princess Yuyang and Dongqing.
Princess Yuyang and holly looked at each other, and there was some uneasiness in their eyes. Holly was full of panic and subconsciously looked at the Minister of punishment.
The Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment coughed lightly, raised his voice and said, "is it against the rules for King Jin to do this? This case is jointly tried by our third department. The emperor doesn't say that King Jin will also participate in it. "
"Where does Gao Shangshu begin?" Xu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "King Jin has been helping me to solve the case in Dali temple. It's well known that he has a pair of bright eyes. Since this case needs the assistance of Dali temple, King Jin is also qualified to participate. Besides, even if King Jin doesn't mention it, Dali temple has to list out its objection. It's too much fun to judge the culprit just by his voice. "
"Xu Wei, who are you talking about?" Princess Yuyang, who had just calmed down, was so angry that she patted the table again.
Xu Wei's eyes moved aside, pretending not to hear or see.
With the support of King Jin, Princess Yuyang and Minister of rites, he has the courage to refute and offend. Anyway, if there is any trouble, just push Lu Jingyi.
Lu Jingyi and Xu Wei's proposal is reasonable, not to mention the censor is staring at him. Rao Shigao Jin is reluctant and can only agree.
Through the screen, Princess Yuyang and Dongqing can't see the opposite situation. After a group of people sent by Lu Jingyi make a noise, they don't remember Bu Qingyi's voice very clearly. When a group of people dispersed, four women's voices came from behind the screen, ranking in order as a, B, C and D. The four men spoke as like as two peas, who were assassinated by the assassins on the same night.
With the screen removed, the figure of Bu Qingyi in the chair appeared again.
Lu Jingyi stood with his hand down and looked at Princess Yuyang: "all four of them have heard their voices. Please tell Princess and Dongqing which of them is Princess Qingxiang according to what they heard."
"This..." Holly face with a hesitant color, flashing eyes frequently look at the Yuyang princess.
Bu Qingyi is playing with the ends of her hair. She looks at the embarrassed master and servant with great interest, and glances at Lu Jingyi's back from time to time.
Lu Jingyi dares to use this method to verify the authenticity of the statements made by Princess Yuyang and Dongqing, because he stood on the position that she was wronged from the beginning, which is not easy.
Next, it's up to the master and servant how to continue to perform the play.
Faced with Lu Jingyi's interrogation, Dongqing was already flustered. By contrast, Princess Yuyang was calm, but she was also hesitant: "I listen Like C? "
"It's like what kind of cake, it's like yangchunmian." Bu Qingyi scratched his earlobe.
Outside the hall, the crowd burst into laughter.
The screen just blocked the sight of Princess Yuyang and Dongqing. Xu Wei, Gao Jin and other people, as well as the onlookers outside, could clearly see the situation on both sides from the side. They knew which voice came from Bu Qingyi's mouth.
Hearing the laughter, Princess Yuyang judged that she was wrong. She quickly changed her words and said, "no, no, I remember wrong. It should be a, the first one! "
Xu Wei coughed softly: "a? Are you sure? "
When Xu Wei asked, Princess Yuyang murmured in her heart again. She had to turn her head slightly and put her last hope to Holly. But at this time, Dongqing is also secretly looking at her, and their eyes are opposite, so they have a conclusion in their hearts. Qi Qi shows desperate eyes - four female voices are mixed together, and they can't recognize who is who.
Seeing their embarrassment, Lu Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, and the seriousness between her eyebrows eased slightly: "the princess might as well recall carefully. Is the voice heard that night sure to belong to Princess Qingxiang? At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and it was justifiable to remember wrongly in a hurry. "
After all, she is Lu Jingyi's sister. He doesn't want to make the relationship between them stiff, and he doesn't want Princess Yuyang to lose face in public.
Unfortunately, Princess Yuyang didn't get the love.
"No, I'm sure! I can hear you! She was the killer that night! " Under the heavy pressure, Princess Yuyang was a bit hysterical. She stood up and leaned against holly. Her angry eyes and trembling fingers pointed to bu Qingyi without hesitation: "second! The second person who spoke just now was the assassin that night! "
