Chapter 1,54 Confrontation

After pausing, he asked, "Sir, why do you ask like this?"

Jiang Lang reiterated again and said, "I have told you before that this is just to fight back. Some people say that you rob someone else's wife forcibly. If you prove that you are in love, it would be like slapping this person on the face. This will not have any impact on your mission, and it can also improve your status in the court. Although you are a fourth-rank official, in the eyes of some adults, you are nothing. Do you know this?"

It is a rare thing for the Ming Dynasty to be a fourth-rank official at a young age. Because of this, Ouyang Chengxu is very likely to become the target of public criticism. Many people actually think of him in a large sense. In their eyes, he got it because he sold arms at a high price. In other words, this is actually a bit like a bought official!

What's more, there are still many people in the imperial court who want to pull him down. Now that some people are the ones who stand out, they will naturally be there to fuel the fire.

The court is like a river. It looks calm on the surface, but in fact, there is an undercurrent below. If you are not careful, it will be a place where you will die without a burial!

Ouyang Chengxu now understood his situation, pondered for a while, and then said, "What if he didn't speak?"

"You still have no affection for that girl?"

Jiang Lang asked back, although this was not a question he should care about, if he fought back, he would naturally have to fight back beautifully, leaving the other party speechless. Although as long as he proved that Yu'er was not a erotic wife, Ouyang Chengxu would not have the guilt of forcing someone else's wife, but doing so would seem too weak, and it might be possible that the other party would put another crime on it.

Ouyang Chengxu actually didn't know what to say in his heart, and he frowned immediately!

"Okay, go back and think it through!"

Jiang Lang waved his hand and signaled that Ouyang Chengxu could leave!

"Sir, I..."

Ouyang Chengxu hurriedly said, this adult seemed a little angry!

Jiang Lang would not be angry about this matter. This love between men and women is originally a matter of mutual affection, but it is a bit regrettable that the other party is completely speechless. He said immediately: "Okay, you can prepare for it when you go back, so as not to tell you to go to the court at that time, you don't know how to deal with it!"

Ouyang Chengxu had no choice but to turn around and leave at this time.

As Emperor Jingtai expected, although he suppressed this matter, how could the other party give up so easily? Seeing that Emperor Jingtai was not moving for a few days, he found Ouyang Chengxu on the third day of Jiang Lang. During the morning court, he was the right governor and censor.

After all the ministers had finished saying everything they should say, he walked out and said loudly: "I have something to do!"

The minister had to ask Emperor Jingtai to report something, so he could only let him say it, so he agreed on the spot, and the right censor shouted: "Your Majesty, I heard that someone recommended Mr. Ouyang, who was about to go on a mission, forcibly rob someone else's wife. Now that it has been a few days since then, why didn't he beg him?"

All this was also expected by Emperor Jingtai. Jiang Lang also told him the results of the investigation, so he said: "The investigation has been made clear about this matter now, and now it has been proven that some people are indeed accusing Ouyang Aiqing. Originally, this matter was also planned to be explained clearly to you all. Since someone mentioned it, I will take this opportunity to talk about it carefully. Well, Wang Aiqing, you can say it!"

"Yes, the emperor!"

Jiang Lang immediately said, stood up, looked at the right governor and censor slightly, and said, "The emperor attaches great importance to this matter, so he ordered me to thoroughly investigate this matter. It is not just that Ouyang Chengxu has forcibly robbed someone else's wife. It must be true evidence. If not, it is someone deliberately framed him. If there is, then as the official of the court, he actually did such a thing, that is to slander the court, and naturally he must be severely punished. After careful investigation, we also obtained the evidence. Ouyang Chengxu did not rob someone else's wife because this Yu'er girl is still alone and is marrying!"

"Mr. Wang's words are unfounded, so he must be honest!"

The right governor censor said immediately!

"Of course!"

Jiang Lang was not timid at all and said, "Then it's better to cover up. Now here, let's save this case in front of the emperor and all the lords? Ouyang Chengxu is about to go on a mission, which means our Ming Dynasty, and we can't let him bear the grievances!"

When the other adults heard that this was the Golden Palace, how could it be the court? They were talking about it!

However, Emperor Jingtai immediately said: "I think this matter is feasible. In this way, it is said that Ouyang Chengxu, Miss Yu'er, and another miser will go to court together. What is the whole story of this matter? Everyone will come to break it down!"

Emperor Jingtai said this, how could the others have any opinions? Everyone agreed at the moment, and at this time, they immediately sent someone to summon Ouyang Chengxu, Yu'er, and Ermaozi!

Of course, you have to wait for this message. All the ministers were standing and waiting in the Golden Palace. There was no problem with Jianglang. After all, he was a soldier. No matter how long he stood, there was no problem. But the other ministers were different. Now they could only stand there and wait!

After a long time, the three of them finally arrived here one after another. Ouyang Chengxu had been here several times and was used to it, but the other two had never been here. After all, this was the Golden Palace. The most important thing was that they didn't know why they were summoned, especially Yu'er. Although there were so many things happening now, she didn't know at all. The fact that Ermao didn't provoke her during this period made her feel much better. Of course, she also thought that it was Ouyang Chengxu's warning that played a role! But she didn't know why she came here. However, she was very calm when she saw Ouyang Chengxu, and suddenly felt much more relieved. The other thing was why Ermao also came, which made her a little puzzled!

He was actually summoned to the Golden Palace by the emperor himself. Seeing the majestic soldiers outside holding weapons, the erudite men were already timid, especially Ouyang Chengxu was also present, which made him feel somewhat as if the matter had been exposed. However, what should I do when I came to this palace? Will I beheaded?

What Erjos did not expect was what those who instructed him did not expect. They originally thought that the emperor would be furious and then removed Ouyang Chengxu from his official position, but they never expected that it would be tried on this court paper.

Ouyang Chengxu felt the lightest burden compared to the other two, and to a large extent, it was because he knew what was going on and how to deal with it!

The person who passed the message in the palace was sent by the eunuch on duty, and the turn was regular, so Jiang Lang had already arranged it. When they went to inform Ouyang Chengxu, they also notified Murong Yan, Ouyang Chengxu's parents, and Wang Sheng. Since someone was talking about this, let's see if there were too many people there!

Walking to the Golden Palace, Ouyang Chengxu fell to the ground first and said aloud: "I am Ouyang Chengxu, please see the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Ermaozi and Yu'er, who walked behind, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to show off. Those who were staying in the hall were all big shots.

Emperor Jingtai did not let them get up, but asked, "Now that all three of you are present, there is one thing you three will confront you, Wang Yuer, raise your head..."

Emperor Jingtai didn’t ask first, but asked Yu'er first, which was also the wisest choice.

"The girl is here"

Yu'er replied timidly, then raised her head timidly to look at Emperor Jingtai!

When Emperor Jingtai saw it, he was pretty, and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"The young girl is eighteen this year"

Yu'er quickly said, because she was a little nervous, she forgot to bring the honorific title in front of her, but Emperor Jingtai didn't care about it either, and then asked, "Then you haven't gotten married now, or are the matchmakers coming to propose marriage to you?"

What is marriage? At this time, there is no marriage certificate. Only after the wedding is celebrated is the marriage. Emperor Jingtai has expanded the width to the matchmaker's proposal, so naturally it is to let the ministers hear it clearly, and he has a judgment in his heart!

Yu'er didn't expect that Emperor Jingtai would ask this question, but the emperor still had to answer honestly, and said, "The young woman has not yet married!"

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere of the entire Golden Palace changed a little. Those skeptical adults also understood one thing, that Ouyang Chengxu was likely to be framed!

When Emperor Jingtai asked this, he did not continue asking, but asked Ermaozi: "Well, Ermaozi, right? I wonder if you got married?"

Ermaozi couldn't help but tremble and said quickly: "No...no!"

But after saying that, I suddenly realized something. The emperor asked himself, of course it was impossible to be a joke. He immediately said: "But her father has promised to betroth her to me. I have already planned to let the matchmaker come to propose marriage!"

When Yu'er heard this, she immediately understood that this matter should have something to do with her, but she didn't dare to speak randomly in the Golden Palace!

Emperor Jingtai continued to ask: "A master submitted a memorial saying that your wife was forcibly snatched by this Lord Ouyang, and you didn't get married. Where did your wife come from? Even if her father agreed, you haven't been accused of the church yet? How can she be your wife? By the way, the girl Wang Yuer mentioned in this memorial should be this one!"

Yu'er immediately understood that the evil man complained first and falsely accused Ouyang Chengxu. He didn't care about that much at the moment. He immediately said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this is not the case. My father never agreed to him. Instead, he has been pestering the common woman. Last time he happened to be met by Lord Ouyang, and he helped me to rescue me, but he did not expect that the evil man complained first and slandered Lord Ouyang, the king, the common woman said the truth, please let the emperor observe it clearly!"

Emperor Jingtai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not sure about this matter. I'm not guilty of Ouyang Aiqing. You said just now that Ouyang Aiqing met, well, do you know each other?"

Yu'er didn't care about so much at this time. Ouyang Chengxu was slandered because of himself. If he hadn't helped him, he wouldn't have encountered such a thing. Now he told the truth, it would be nothing. He immediately said: "Know!"

Emperor Jingtai is not in a hurry to interrogate anything now, because he already knows the whole story of the matter. If he is like this, it will not be fun to be sentenced. So he continued to ask: "How did you meet?"

The other ministers also discovered at this time that the emperor seemed not to be trying the case, but to listen to the story with interest. However, the emperor is in a good mood now. If he interrupts, there will be no good result, and no one will speak out at the moment!

Yu'er hurriedly said: "The matter has to start more than a month ago!"

So, he told the story clearly about the day, because it was about Ouyang Chengxu and Yu'er said it very carefully, including what happened to the two of them at the Ouyang family. He didn't wait until he came back when he left. After he left, he came to see him again. Of course, she didn't think there was anything wrong with this!

But in the ears of others, it was like a girl trying to excuse her lover. The anxiety was easily heard. Ouyang Chengxu couldn't help but be surprised. He never thought that Yu'er could remember these things so clearly, and many of them could no longer remember them.

After saying that, Yu'er looked at Emperor Jingtai with some anxiety, waiting for his hair to fall, but she was still a little uneasy, afraid that he would not believe it!

Emperor Jingtai did not immediately express his opinion, but asked, "Ouyang Aiqing, is this girl Yu'er telling the truth?"

Ouyang Chengxu immediately said, "Your Majesty, Miss Yu'er is telling the truth!"

Emperor Jingtai nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Jiang Lang, and said, "Wang Aiqing, do you think there is any possibility that the two of them will collude and then deceive me?"

Jiang Lang immediately stood up and said, "I don't think it's true that the emperor said, because I know that Mr. Ouyang took Miss Yu'er home to recuperate. That afternoon, I originally asked him to go to Mr. Murong to discuss the mission, but he did not go. He reported to me that it was because he accidentally injured a girl. After being sent to the clinic for treatment, he took her home to recuperate, so he wasted time. Now, this girl Yu'er said it, it is completely up to me. This shows that he did not lie. Another point can also be proved that more than ten days ago, Mr. Murong Yan, my sister-in-law, found her and said that Mr. Ouyang's mother and his sister-in-law found her, hoping to ask me for help through her!"

Yu'er also looked up slightly at this time, but she could only see Jiang Lang's back in her position, and she felt like a lesson of pine trees!

"Help? What are you going to do?"

Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but wonder. Of course, he knew about this!

Jiang Lang was also polite at the moment and said, "These two young people are affectionate with each other, but they are both thin-skinned and do not express each other. The mother was also anxious, so she thought that she would let me be a middleman, but they might not be able to see me. Of course, she was worried that I would not be willing to help, so she went to find my sister's sister. She was soft-hearted and agreed at the moment. I couldn't postpone it. However, outsiders were not easy to interfere in this young man's affairs. This relationship is naturally so particular that you are willing to be in love, and this forced melon is not sweet, so I mentioned it at that time!"

"oh?"

Jingtaidi immediately became interested and asked, "What do you mean is that these two people are originally in love with each other?"

Yu'er and Ouyang Chengxu below suddenly turned red. They never expected that the monarch and ministers would openly discuss their relationship in the lobby. Ouyang Chengxu now understood, is Jiang Lang's so-called complete counterattack against those people? Is this method?

As for Erjos, it was like a slight silence when he knelt on the ground now. Listening to the conversation between these two people became less and less sensible, but he didn't have the courage to interrupt him. Not to mention him, these adults didn't have them either!

When Emperor Jingtai asked, Jiang Lang replied seriously: "I also think so. Of course, in order to prove what I said, I also ask the emperor to upload Murong Yan, Ouyang's mother and sister-in-law, Wang Sheng, the father of Miss Yu'er, the doctor who treated Miss Yu'er's leg injuries at the beginning, and two women who helped Miss Yu'er!"

Jiang Lang did not do anything, so he simply dragged these witnesses to the Golden Palace, without giving those people any chance!

Emperor Jingtai did not object, he was also a smart person. All the civil and military ministers in the court knew that Ouyang Chengxu was wronged now, so of course they had to make them more clear about the cause and effect of this matter!

These people had actually been waiting outside the palace for a long time. Although they were not sure what was going on, Lord Wang personally sent someone to pass on the message. Not long after, the group of people all went to the Golden Palace, and then knelt down on the Golden Palace. It was really spectacular!

After seeing these people arrive together, the Ermao, who had no confidence, suddenly felt at the bottom of the water. If he found out that he had slandered others, would he be beheaded?
Chapter completed!
