The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 23. Overturn

Beauty is like a poisonous flower, fatal with a smile.

Chen Zhao’s body softened, he only felt that Jiang Ruan had dug countless traps in his soft words. No matter how he answered, he was wrong. From the beginning, he lost.

Qian Wanli is not much better than Chen Zhao. Jiang Ruan’s dismantling of the stage made it impossible for the trial to continue. Only Qian Wanli has collected people’s money, and he has always done so well on the bright side. Today’s troublesomeness has exceeded his expectations, not to mention that there is still a Master Wang watching. Help Chen Zhao, it’s hard to convince the crowd, and I don’t know what Lord Wang thinks. He helps Jiang Ruan, but he doesn’t want to spit it out after eating Chen Zhao’s silver. Besides, he plans to make a fortune on Jiang Quan. Fat should not be lost in vain. Just how can I think of a way to get the best of both worlds?

But the facts did not allow Qian Wanli to think about it. For a moment, the sound of drums from outside spread to everyone’s ears. Li Mi walked in and hugged Qian Wanli with his fists: “My lord, someone outside is sounding an injustice drum.”

Speaking of grievances, no one on East Street has made such a move. Everyone knows what kind of place the yamen is. There is a real grievance. There is more money than a drum. If there is no silver, it would have been a year and a half, and no one would pay any attention to it, and maybe he would be taken to prison.

Qian Wanli was also taken aback: “Who is wronged?” He looked at Lord Wang on the side, and asked for instructions: “Lord, do you think?”

“Bring in.” Lord Wang snorted coldly, and Qian Wanli’s heart was beaten by this hum, and he couldn’t help but be frightened.

Man was soon brought in. She was a young girl dressed as a maid, and she knelt down as soon as she entered the court.

“Who are you? What’s wrong?” Before Qian Wanli could speak, Lord Wang had already spoken first. Qian Wanli didn’t dare to stop him, he only complained in his heart. It seemed that Lord Wang had intervened in the case. He couldn’t refuse because of his partiality. This Wang Yushi was a celebrity in front of the emperor. On weekdays, he did not miss out. This person was like a smelly and hard stone, and it was extremely unbearable. The officials he participated in did not end up with anything in the end. Good end. It can be said that Wang Yushi is the god of plague in the hearts of officials. Now that the god of plague is speaking, he does not dare to neglect. Although his silver is good, he must first keep the black hat on his head. Qian Wanli made up his mind that Chen Zhao’s money would not be needed, and Jiang Quan would also forget it. Today, Wang Yushi is in front of him, and he will be the image of a parent official of the Great Master Qingtian.

Thinking of this, Qian Wanli said kindly: “What are your grievances, even if you tell the truth, this official and this adult will make the decision for you.”

The people outside made a burst of laughter, and Qian Wanli’s words made people laugh out of their teeth. An innocent dog official who vowed to say these words would only make people think of pretending. Chen Zhao looked at Qian Wanli in amazement, and a panic suddenly appeared in his heart. Things did not develop as he thought. Qian Wanli’s attitude was unclear. What if the key points were turned?

The girl rushed to her head and kowtow: “Master Xie is the master of the slave and maid. The slave is not grieving for herself, but for Miss Jiang. The slave is the maid of the Jiang family village. The slave can testify for Miss Jiang and kill him. Chunying’s is not Miss Jiang, but he—Chen Zhao!”

She raised her head, revealing a familiar face, it was Qiu Yan.

“Qiu Yan…what nonsense are you talking about?” Chen Zhao was unbelievable after the initial panic. No matter what, Qiu Yan should be on his side. There is no reason to favor Jiang Ruan. Now he comes out to testify against him. , What is it for?

“The maidservant didn’t lie,” Qiu Yan didn’t even look at Chen Zhao. “The maidservant and Chunying are both big maidservants in Zhuangzi. They live in the same place on weekdays. With a strange sound, he didn’t dare to go in for a while, so he looked in from the small hole in the window and saw Chen Zhao pressing Chunying to the ground. Chen Zhao was covering her nose and mouth. At that time, Chunying was no longer struggling. I was terribly fatal, afraid that he would find out, so I escaped. After that, I didn’t dare to mention it to anyone. Who knew yesterday that the lady was held in prison. Although the slave and maid were greedy for life and fear of death, they couldn’t just watch one. Innocent people carried the scapegoat for this devil and tried to die before they came out to testify.”

“Death hoof, what nonsense are you talking about? How much benefit did Jiang Ruan give you by allowing you to slander my son like this. Master Qingtian is fair. He will naturally know who is lying and be careful to be put in prison! Little prostitute, wait for you to come out. Let me see if my old lady does not tear your mouth!” A familiar voice among the crowd said loudly. It was Zhang Lan. At first, I saw Chen Zhao’s posture smoothly. I was a little anxious when I saw Jiang Ruan speaking. At this moment, Qiu When the geese came out to confuse, Zhang Lan was already aware of the danger and scolded like a shrew regardless of the occasion.

It was not very happy to hear such words in Qian Wanli’s ears. Wang Yushi who looked at the other side had already frowned. Qian Wanli slapped his gavel: “Quiet!” When it calmed down, Qian Wanli asked Qiu Yan, “You are here.” What evidence is there for Fan’s words?”

Jiang Ruan smiled softly. In the quiet court, her smile was very clear, and she only felt that a soft wind was blowing into people’s hearts. Seeing everyone’s eyes, Jiang Ruan said slowly: “I don’t have to think that Qiu Yan is speaking for me. Zhuangzi knows that, except for Baizhi and Forsythia, the maids on this Zhuangzi are not very close to us. familiar.”

Jiang Ruan’s smiling eyes fell on Qiu Yan: “Qiu Yan is willing to come out to testify for me, I am also very surprised.”

Qiu Yan somewhat avoided Jiang Ruan’s gaze: “The slave maid and the slave maid just don’t want to be sorry for their conscience.”

“You lied!” Chen Zhao furiously said: “You are obviously nonsense! You are in collusion and want to frame me!”

“You are so funny.” Jiang Ruan Yangmei looked at him: “I have been in prison all day, and I have never had the opportunity to ventilate with Qiuyan. Could it be possible that we colluded before? But how did we know Chen Zhao you Would you bring officials to arrest people in the courtyard yesterday? Could it be that I am a ghost or a monster?”

Chen Zhao looked at the beautiful face in front of him, his eyes were full of spring water, but he taught people to fall into a trap unconsciously, his lips were full of petals, but he always uttered harsh words. The eyebrows are moving as enchanting, but faintly murderous, not a fairy, but a demon, not a beauty, but a snake.

A trace of panic flashed in Chen Zhao’s heart, only to feel that the other party had turned from a charming lady to a terrifying monster, with an unknown aura all over him.

“The slave servant can also testify for Ms. Jiang, it is not Ms. Jiang who killed the person!” Another voice intervened in due course.
