The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 202. Betrayal

“Jiang Shangshu,” Sun Xu said with a stern face: “The court is not a place where you are random, you should first hear the witness’s remarks.”

Before Jiang Quan had time to speak, Butterfly kowtow to Sun Xu and said, “My lord, slave and maid, this is here to explain the guilt committed by the lady at the beginning.” She lowered her head, but her voice was clear and clear, which just happened to be heard. Looking outside, in the ears of the lively people: “When the first wife was alive, my wife was just an aunt at the time. Although the master loved the aunt and the young lady, the wife was the mistress. The aunt has always been arrogant and arrogant. Coming from a family of high-ranking officials and aristocrats, naturally he is reluctant to succumb to others. Although the food in Shangshufu is not bad, sometimes even the status is higher than the first wife, but the aunt is still dissatisfied.”

Although Butterfly’s words seemed to be just stating the facts, it felt very different when it was spread to other people’s ears. Who doesn’t know how Xia Cheng’s title was originally obtained, if it weren’t for the brothers to die early, he would never have his turn to be a bastard. Even the titles came after Xia Yan entered the Shangshu Mansion. Before that, she was just the daughter of a small official and concubine. Wherever she can be called an official noble, she also prefers to have the face to say it herself. If it was really a woman from a high-ranking noble family, how could Jiang Quan marry Zhao Mei instead of Xia Yan? A concubine’s daughter still admires vanity so much, but according to Butterfly, Xia Yan’s status in Shangshufu is even higher than Zhao Mei. Isn’t this what it means to dominate a concubine and annihilate his wife?

Although everyone had heard the rumors that Jiang Quan favored Xia Yan, they thought it was after Zhao Mei’s death. It was not long before Zhao Mei married into Shangshu Mansion that Jiang Quan did so excessively. But it’s not just that he has taken a fancy to the power in the house, and once he finds that he can’t bring any benefits to his official career, he reveals his true colors.

Butterfly continued to say: “Later, my auntie thought, the master, as the court order officer, couldn’t find a reason to divorce his wife for no reason. It was my aunt who bought exotic poisons and mixed them with the first wife’s daily meals. The first wife was poisoned bit by bit, and later the toxins accumulated more and more, and she died. And all this, the master is also I know, once the aunt’s poison was discovered by the master, and the master told the aunt to be more careful and don’t leave any handle.” Butterfly said, slammed two heads at Sun Xu: “My lord, what the folk girl said The sentence is true, and I would never dare to deceive a sentence.”

“A school of nonsense! A school of nonsense!” Jiang Quan yelled at the butterfly: “Who gave you this courage to disturb people’s hearts by talking nonsense here, Butterfly, don’t forget who you are! You are a subordinate of my Jiang mansion!” ”

Butterfly shook her head: “Master probably forgot. Butterfly’s sales contract is no longer there. Butterfly is no longer a member of Shangshufu.” When she said this, although she tried to suppress something, there was still a trace of hatred in her eyes.

Jiang Quan was speechless, and Sun Xu beat the gavel again and again: “Quiet!”

Butterflies knelt on the ground and said in a shocking voice: “If you go back to the adults, there is still evidence for the people to say!”

Jiang Quan was startled, and Sun Xu said solemnly: “Where is the evidence?”

Butterfly glanced at Jiang Ruan. The latter sat safely on one of the seats. The smile on his lips didn’t seem to be shaken from the beginning until now. Butterfly felt calm in her heart, and said frankly: “It’s in the lady’s residence. In my house, the medicine was really precious at the beginning, and the lady didn’t know when the lady would be dying. She thought that the medicine might be useful in the future, so she ordered the girl to keep it. The girl buried the medicine on the same day. It was under the tree in Madam’s yard. But the prescription was probably still there. Later, the master said it was useful, so he received it in the box in the study. It happened that somehow, the master probably forgot the box. Madam once. Let the slave maid clean up the study, and the slave maid received the box into the innermost wooden box. The wooden box will not be touched for many years because it contains all old things.”

Zhao Guangchong Sun Xu arched his hand, and the tone of his words was already indisputable: “Master Sun, now that all the evidence is presented, is it necessary to ask someone to search for it?”

“Naturally.” Sun Xu said with a serious expression: “This official has already ordered the officers and soldiers to go to Shangshufu to search.”

Jiang Quan sneered: “It’s extremely ridiculous. Do you think that a few nonsense can condemn me? Butterfly, I don’t think you are afraid of death!” He felt confident, and the officers and soldiers were determined not to search in the house. What happened. Not to mention that he never directly intervened when Xia Yan poisoned him, even Xia Yan himself would not be stupid enough to leave evidence. Xia Yan is attentive and thorough, and will clean up any handle. Although he didn’t know that Butterfly accepted Jiang Ruan’s advantage to make a false evidence in this way, but Jiang Quan also admitted that not anyone can come in Shangshufu. Especially in the study, which is the most important thing, he has to check several times a day. He has never heard of wooden boxes and boxes.

Butterflies probably only lied, but there was no real evidence. If you can’t get it out, you can’t be convicted. What about the butterfly? Thinking of this, he went to see Jiang Ruan’s expression. But seeing Jiang Ruan sitting upright, he seemed to notice his gaze, turned his head and smiled at him slightly. Jiang Ruan’s smile was even more calm than Jiang Quan, and there seemed to be some subtle ridicule. That gaze immediately made Jiang Quan’s heart sober, and he couldn’t help but feel a little scared. Jiang Quan doesn’t know how evil his own daughter is. For so many years, neither the Xia family nor her have been able to seek benefits in her hands. Jiang’s Mansion is a copper wall and iron wall, and she can’t keep her from thinking of any weird way to harm people.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers who were in charge of the search had already returned. The officers and soldiers in the lead strode into the court with a report, leaned over and said something to Sun Xu in a low voice. Sun Xu glanced at Jiang Quan as he listened, and Jiang Quan thought. “Hey” click. Before he could think about it, Sun Xu slammed the startle and shouted: “Bold Jiang Quan! As a court commander, you are not strict in governing your family. You allow your concubine to harm others, or even conspiracy to murder your wife. What should you do? Sin? The officers and soldiers have found evidence from the box in the wooden box in your house. What else do you have to say?: “After that, the officer next to him presented an iron box. Everyone can see clearly. A thin piece of paper floated out of the box that Xu personally opened in his hand.

Zhao Yuanping got up and walked to Sun Xu. Please take it and watch it. After reading the ten lines, Zhao Yuanping returned the paper to Sun Xu. When he looked at Jiang Quan, his smile was full of indifference: “Jiang Shangshu is really good plan. Good intentions, if I hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, this son wouldn’t know that there would be such a wolf-hearted person in the world.”

Zhao Yuanping has always been accustomed to being a mean and mean sarcasm. Jiang Quan’s expression was ashen as soon as he heard this, but what followed was unbelievable. It was that he came out to take the case today, but before he left, he checked the study well, and he didn’t even see any wooden boxes or boxes. How could it suddenly come out. What exactly is going on? He shouted injustice: “This is definitely not what I did, Sun Xu, as the case secretary, you must pay attention to finding out what you are doing. With a small prescription, how can you dare to bring me to justice? This is clear. Was someone deliberately framed me? Wouldn’t you be unclear?”

“This official has always only looked at evidence.” Sun Xu said unhurriedly. It’s not that he didn’t receive the threat in Jiang Quan’s words, but what kind of case was this case? It was Xiao Shao’s wife, the current Princess Jinying, and the former Hongan princess personally complained. What kind of power the Jinying Palace behind her is, no one knows what the big Jin Dynasty officialdom, Xiao Shao personally greeted him, how dare he neglect. Moreover, the woman who was killed in this case is still the jewel in the hands of the General’s Mansion. If she doesn’t give an explanation, with the Zhao Guang family’s short-term temperament, she is afraid that the case secretary will be demolished, not to mention the one in the palace who even said hello.

Although the Division of Justice is in charge of cases that ordinary people do not dare to manage, even if it involves many bureaucrats in Beijing, it is not afraid, 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 cronies have no fish when the water is clear, Sun Xu knows this truth well. After so many years of sitting for such offending people’s official duties, but standing in the court, Sun Xu himself is also very good at being a man. Nowadays, Xuan Pei’s status in the palace is constantly rising, and the emperor is more blue-eyed for him. The fifth and eighth princes can only see open and secret fights, but who will fall to the throne now is anyone can tell. Maybe the future prince of the Dajin Dynasty will be the thirteen thirteen budding princes now. Xuan Pei specially asked people to come over to say hello, although he didn’t know the reason, Sun Xu also felt a lot of pressure. It is precisely because of his colleagues for so many years that Sun Xu can see clearly that this time it will be difficult for Jiang Quan to be good, because everyone he offends has the ability to put him to death.

Zhao Yuanfeng leisurely said: “Jiang Shangshu, that Shangshu Mansion is your residence, naturally only your people can enter. You don’t know when the box was put in, so you can’t ask us outsiders what answers they are looking for. Yes. I know your Shangshu Mansion, since the opening of the mansion, the Zhao family has never set foot except for my little sister.”

What Zhao Yuanfeng said was not without irony. At first, Zhao Mei broke off contact with the Zhao family, but after Zhao Mei’s death, the Jiang family also banned all contact with the General’s Mansion. Even secretly treating the General Mansion as a strong enemy, the Zhao and Jiang family never dealt with it. It is impossible for the Zhao family to enter the Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Quan touched a nail, but he didn’t want to fight with Zhao Yuanfeng for his lip service. Now he is also aware of the importance of things. With the presence of human and physical evidence, looking at Sun Xu’s attitude, it would be very difficult to get rid of crime. By this time, Jiang Quan, who had always been full of confidence, was already a little panicked in his heart. He desperately thought about how there would be a box in the study, swept a circle in the crowd without focusing his eyes, and froze abruptly.

A familiar figure mingled in the crowd, it was a pretty young and beautiful woman. Jiang Ruan was taken aback, a few thoughts flashed through his mind, and he immediately yelled out: “Xia Yue! You bitch, you actually hurt you. I!”

The figure of the woman in the crowd is Xia Yue, the current mistress of Shang Shufu. She originally looked at Jiang Quan with her head down to avoid Jiang Quan’s gaze. At this moment, hearing Jiang Quan yell out so loudly, she couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed. He blushed and didn’t speak.

Jiang Quan seemed to figure it out in an instant, and regardless of the occasion, he yelled: “It’s her! It’s this bitch who colluded with outsiders to harm me. Only she can enter my study on weekdays!” Only she can squeeze things in in the shortest possible time. Xia Yue, I have treated you so badly, you are so vicious, murdering your husband! You poisonous woman!”

Xia Yue was in the crowd, and everyone turned their eyes to her. She endured it, and suddenly two lines of tears came out: “Master, Yueniang has been married to you as his wife, so how can I not do well? You want to treat me like this. Even pour the accusation of violating the sky on Yueniang? How could Yueniang frame the master, if there is anything wrong with the master, what can Yueniang be a lonely and helpless woman? Yueniang knows that the master and sister Yan are deeply attached Like the sea, Yueniang has not been liked by the master since she passed the door, but master, Yueniang is also your wife, how can you treat Yueniang like this?” She was born thin and timid, but such words would come down. Showing a very sad state, she knelt down and knocked a few heads towards the door of the court: “No matter, master, if you and I are a husband and wife, if Yueniang can save the master, Yueniang will save the master willingly. Fate! The box and the wooden box were placed by Yueniang!”

When she said this, Shanshan was in tears, and she almost fainted in tears. People always sympathize with the weak, and if the weak is a good woman, the sympathy is doubled. The more Xia Yue said this, the more people suspected that Jiang Quan had framed his newly-married wife as well. He was really a selfish man. Xia Yue’s words are reasonable, indeed, now that the Xia family is gone, why should she go to frame Jiang Quan, Jiang’s mansion fell, she became a widow, and how difficult it is to live. As for what Xia Yue said about Jiang Quan’s thoughts and thoughts about Xia Yan, everyone laughed in their hearts, fearing that only a man like Jiang Quan in this world would treat a woman who was unfaithful and unclean who gave herself a green cap. I can’t forget, what kind of pot is matched with what lid.

Jiang Ruan smiled and watched Xia Yue’s performance in the crowd, only to find it interesting. The Xia women seem to have a natural talent for acting, especially in the matter of Bo Ren’s tears and sympathy. What Jiang Quan ate the most back then was Xia Yan’s set. Now Xia Yan is replaced by Xia Yue. I don’t know that Jiang Quan can still eat it now. The lies and tears of a woman can only be understood by experiencing them. Now Jiang Quan is afraid that he will hate the Xia family.

Xia Yue is a smart person. Since the Xia family has fallen, her pawn for maintaining the relationship between Xia and Jiang’s family is useless. Xia Yue knows that with Jiang Quan’s ambition, one day she will be useless. The stumbling block kicked aside. Besides, she is now the mistress of the Jiang family. She knows exactly what the Jiang family looks like. Sooner or later, an empty mansion will collapse. Jiang Quan is neither cold nor warm to her, and Xia Yue is at her young age, so she is willing to do so. The women of the Xia family have always been ambitious, even if Xia Yue is a distant cousin, she would not be willing to bury it for a lifetime. Jiang Ruan made a deal with her, and Xia Yue sold Jiang Quan without hesitation for her own future.

Jiang Quan was already going crazy with anger, and the people around him looked at him with suspicion. He wanted to find someone who could help speak, but in the end he found that no one could speak for him. NS. His wife, his children, his colleagues, and even his allies, none of them are by his side now. He suddenly found that he had become the abandoned one, he had become a useless abandoned son.

“Is this what you want?” Jiang Quan stared at Jiang Ruan deeply, and suddenly laughed miserably: “You made everyone betray me, my good daughter, hahaha, I didn’t even know that I raised such a Good daughter!”

“Many acts of injustice will kill oneself.” Jiang Ruan replied calmly: “Jiang Shangshu, there are gods up to three feet above your head. When you did all this to my mother that day, you should think of the ending.” Yes, she It is for Jiang Quan to taste the fate of the betrayal of the people. The father of the previous life strategized and turned all those who were not valued by him into chess pieces in his hands, the stepping stones of Jiang’s mansion, and step by step pave the way for Jiang Susu’s position as queen. Every step of the glory of the Jiang family is cast on the blood of the three of them. Now Jiang Quan should also try this taste. This kind of struggle is helpless, lonely and desperate, and suddenly finds betrayed by everyone and finds himself ridiculous for nothing. Like to play chess? Can! In this life, the person holding the chess will change positions. This game is written by her, and he is just the last step of the chess game to kill the useless chess piece in the game, one waste piece!

Jiang Quan shut up suddenly, he looked straight at Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan’s undisguised hatred and crazy eyes fell on his eyes, and he suddenly felt a panic of fear. He didn’t know where Jiang Ruan’s hatred came from, how could a person show such a terrible expression, like a cannibal beast.

“Jiang Quan, can you plead guilty?” Sun Xu cried out when he saw that the noise was almost the same now.

Jiang Quan turned around stupidly. He looked at Sun Xu in the hall and suddenly laughed slowly. He stood in the middle and said with a little disdain: “Sun Xu, what are you pretending to be high-minded? Everyone is an official in the same court. Since you are an official, there is no innocence. Today you treat me like this, I admit that I am inferior to the power, and there is nothing to say, I also admit this sin! But you remember, I just succumbed to power, Today, as long as my power is able to contend with it a little bit, I will fight anyway!”

When Jiang Ruan heard what he said, the corners of his eyes slowly bend down, and he smiled slightly. It is indeed Jiang Quan, who has been an official for many years, and he can see the importance at a glance. Today’s matter, in fact, personal evidence is not the most important, and physical evidence is not the most important. It depends on how the case was tried. Sun Xu’s attitude is the most important. Jiang Quan probably thought that Sun Xu would not do too much for the sake of his colleagues. But Sun Xu’s attitude can only explain one thing. Someone is doing Jiang Ruan. Support, no matter who that person is, Sun Xu will be able to bend his waist for it, it is bound to have a big background. Jiang Quan even kept a hand when he pleaded guilty. He pretended to confess his guilt so generously, but the last few sentences were reverie and made people involuntarily think of other things. It is really sinister to pour a pot of dirty water on Jiang Ruan and Sun Xu even if he confessed his guilt.

But how could Jiang Quan do such a thing? Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, Jiang Quan never wasted time on useless things. Now that he has pleaded guilty, what effect can such innocuous splashing of dirty water play? Such an incompetent person who seemed to be able to do anything in the end bite indiscriminately. In Jiang Ruan’s eyes, he only found it ridiculous. She slowly stood up and walked to Jiang Quan’s side. Everyone looked at the father and daughter in silence. Jiang Quan was emotional, his old face was flushed and distorted, and his thin cheekbones were a little bit protruding. Darkened, no longer the appearance of the chic young official. But Jiang Ruan was just a young age, with a snow-skinned appearance, but his expression was very calm, even with a gentle smile.

The two were ugly and beautiful, manic and calm, and smiled angrily, seeing that there is really no way of father and daughter. Jiang Ruan walked to Jiang Quan, Jiang Quan glared at her tightly. There was anger and resentment in his eyes, and even a trace of fear, but he couldn’t find a trace of warmth. Jiang Ruan has become accustomed to it. She stopped in front of Jiang Quan, suddenly sighed, and said softly: “It turns out that Jiang Shangshu, who has always had ambitions and great ambitions into the bones, will have a moment of succumbing to power.”

She sighed full, but it was like a violent pounding on Jiang Quan’s heart. What appeared vaguely in front of him was when he was proud to become a nobleman in the court. Even though his ambition is bigger than the sky, his fortune is thinner than paper. He has always wanted to look like Qingliu is not in harmony with the world, but now he wants to take the initiative to admit that he has fallen under the footsteps of power. This was a fatal blow to him and an intolerable shame. And this shame still comes from his daughter who ran into the dirt from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Ruan is glamorous, and Jiang Quan feels that his current status is humble. From the bottom of his heart, he is a cowardly and hypocritical person. He has always valued the way others look at him, so it took him so many years to build himself into an upright and honest appearance. At this moment, when the skin was torn apart, Jiang Quan couldn’t help it anymore. He felt that he couldn’t lift his chest in one breath, and he fainted straight out.

The two officials hurriedly took Jiang Quan down. Sun Xu beat the startle and shouted: “The criminal Jiang Quan pleaded guilty in court. He conspired with the concubine’s Xia family to murder his wife and torture his children. He was inexcusable and the evidence was clear. Thousands of people. From a point of view, state-owned and national laws, family rules, and all kinds of viciousness, enter the prison according to the law, and the case will be pronounced the next day!”

The crowd watching from outside suddenly boiled. Zhao Guang clenched his fists tightly. Today he has restrained himself very well, but even when he heard Jiang Quan’s confession, he knew that he could not escape the guilt, Zhao Guang still could not stop. Out of control. Zhao Yuanjia comforted him, but Zhao Yuanping and Zhao Yuanfeng looked at each other, their eyes a little heavy.

Jiang Ruan stood indifferently watching Jiang Quan being dragged away, and slowly lowered his eyes. Is this the end? of course not.
