Chapter 249 Settled (1)
"You're talking nonsense, when will I—" the second aunt said unwillingly.
"The second aunt gave Caique a lot of money. If the lord doesn't believe it, you can check Caique's house."
"No, I have already checked it." Ke Xiuran waved his hand.
The case officer on the other side said: "Jiang Li, you are trying to kill Jiang and poisoning Jiang and do not want to repent. You are particularly despised. In order to kill people, you buy murderers and kill people. The evil spirit of his heart is not hungry. He is like a jackal. He is so cruel that he is like a wolf. He is so intolerable. The laws are still clear. How can I tolerate you? The law is pregnant and the murderer dies. Now you are sentenced to beheading."
As soon as the three words "Zheng Li Jue" were released, the second aunt felt like a cork that had lost her heart. She could no longer support her and collapsed softly. She was a timid and vicious person, and she had no strength to defend herself. There was only one thing in her mind, that is, the matter was exposed. But when she thought that her father was the Minister of Personnel, she might have a way to save her, her eyes lit up and she shouted: "I am wronged, I am wronged! Please let the master let me see my father!"
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly when she heard this. The second aunt was determined to rely on her mother's family, and perhaps she wanted to ask Hu Qianqiu to help her, but it was still difficult for the Li family to protect themselves now. As for Hu Qianqiu... I am afraid there will be no such person in the future.
Ke Xiuran slapped the arbor again, a deep meaning flashed across his eyes, and he shouted: "Li Dexing, the guilty minister!"
The second aunt was struck by lightning.
Then he saw the officers and soldiers escorting in a few people wearing prison uniforms with shackles and slaughtered hands. They were not others, but the second aunt's father, Li Shangshu and his brothers.
Li Shangshu was in a very embarrassing body, obviously suffering a lot. When he saw his second concubine, he spat at her viciously and cursed: "Damn it!"
The second aunt was stunned: "Father, this is..."
"Get out!" Li Shangshu was very irritable.
"Silent!" Ke Xiuran slapped the arbor with a very serious expression.
Li Shangshu gritted his teeth. If it were the same, how could Ke Xiuran dare to treat him like this? The official commander was ordered to copy the Shangshu Mansion early in the morning. It was still unbelievable, but the information revealed by the official commander surprised him. All the past matters were revealed, and even the past transactions that he thought were seamless were also broken. If you say anything else, it would be a taboo for the emperor to form cliques with the court officials.
Li Shangshu's life was smooth sailing, but he didn't expect that he was now secretly imprisoned. He couldn't remember some things clearly, but he was also dug out and listed them one by one among the confessions he confessed in prison. Li Shangshu almost suspected that his confidant betrayed him.
The crime also involved Hu Qianqiu, which was said that Hu Qianqiu had collected the money from his second concubine, and the second concubine hindered official business. Li Shangshu felt strange at the time that other crimes were just for him, so how could he get involved in the second concubine's affairs? The prison head had also had some friendship with him and kindly reminded him: "Shu Li, blame your daughter, it's not good to provoke who it is, but he provoked Princess Hong'an. The person behind Princess Hong'an is not something that the Shangshu Mansion can afford to offend."
Li Shangshu asked who was behind Princess Hong'an, but the prison head refused to say it. However, Li Shangshu knew one thing, and it was all caused by the second aunt. In other words, the second aunt destroyed the entire Li family.
When Li Shangshu saw the second concubine, he wanted to not strangle the second concubine to death when he was born. The entire Li family's court officials were destroyed by this stupid daughter! When he saw Zhao Yuanfeng again, he was confused. Could it be that the person behind Princess Hong'an was the Zhao family? It was natural for Jiang Ruanshi to help the Zhao family. However, the Zhao family has always been open and upright, and he will not be so cruel. He will take the lifeline of the mansion as soon as he takes action.
The case official shook the scroll and read it word by word: "Li Dexing, as the official of the court, you actually disregarded the law, injured people's lives, embezzled bribes, concealed the saints' listening, and deceived the people's people. You conquered the people's wealth and colluded with the top of the mountain. This court sentenced you to behead your head and abandon the world, and to rot with plants and trees, to feed insects and eat rats, and to eat flies, and to die without burial."
"The Li family is a family member who thieves and prostitutes, who do not cultivate themselves internally and externally, lose their moral character, lose their moral character, and lose their moral character, and humiliate their sages. This court has ruled that if the Li family members are deprived of their official duties, the Li family will never be admitted to the imperial examination."
"No--" the second aunt shouted in a hurry. Why is this happening? It's just that she was exposed. Why was the Li family also jailed? What's the crimes that were criticized by the superiors? She raised her head and looked at Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan sat quietly, with a clear and charming smile on the corners of her lips, as if she was deeply mocking, looking down at their embarrassment from a high point.
"It's you..." the second aunt murmured.
"Take Hu Qianqiu!" Ke Xiuran said again.
This time, the person escorted by the officers and soldiers became Hu Qianqiu.
Hu Qianqiu was brought up, and first he stared at Ke Xiuran viciously. Ke Xiuran was promoted by him and was considered a talented person, but he had never expected that he had more and more threatened his status in recent years. This time, this time he was dismissed, and Ke Xiuran must have contributed to the fire.
Ke Xiuran also saw Hu Qianqiu's gaze, but was a little proud. He shouted: "Hu Qianqiu listened to the verdict. You are a rude official, colluding with other people's concubines, and framing the princess. You are really confused and have no face to be an official. Now you are deprived of your imperial examination and demoted to a commoner. You will never be allowed to be an official."
Ke Xiuran felt a little confused. Although he knew that his official position would be unsecured, he couldn't help but feel stuffy when he heard the word "never be an official" and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Qianqiu!" The second aunt was panicked and crawled to Hu Qianqiu's side.
"Get out!" Hu Qianqiu no longer had the tender and affectionate appearance of the past. He pulled her away with a palm, and looked at her like an enemy: "Bitch!"
If it weren't for her, how could his grand Censorate have fallen to this point? He wanted to use her to reach the point of contact with Jiang's Mansion, but now his career in his life has been destroyed. Who dares to tolerate him in the future?
The second aunt looked at Hu Qianqiu blankly, as if she was looking at a stranger. She didn't understand why everything changed overnight. The Li family fell to this point, and Hu Qianqiu's official position was not guaranteed, and they all hated her. Did she make them like this?
Jiang Ruan sat in the hall with a smile, as if nothing could shake her calmness and calmness. She was like a witch wandering outside the world, looking down at everyone indifferently and sarcastically and struggling.
Feeling the second aunt's gaze, Jiang Ruan turned her head. The clear and charming eyes raised clearly had no emotions, but the second aunt understood. She was saying: I am willing to accept the loss.
I am willing to accept the loss of the bet, and I am willing to accept the loss of the bet. The second aunt laughed bitterly, and the laughter became louder and louder, making everyone present frown. However, the second aunt was still laughing, her face full of tears.
