[Qing Dynasty] Friends always come to chat with me in the middle of the night

Because of Wei Tong's identity, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture actually opened the trial himself and ordered someone to bring the plaintiff.It was a slightly frail and embarrassed woman, with her head tilted sideways, her hair hanging down, she couldn't see her face clearly.When Wei Tong saw a person, he had a three-point guess in his heart, but after the person really spoke, he only felt that people's imagination is infinite after all.

"My concubine's name is Wei Ning, and she is the younger sister of the person next to me. I have no one to rely on since I was a child, and I depended on my brother for life. Unexpectedly, my brother had thoughts on my concubine and raped me. I wanted to escape He went out, but he was surrounded by his people, and he was helpless. Two years ago, he seemed to have disliked the concubine and never came again. The concubine was very happy, but found out that she was pregnant, and couldn't bear to give up under the sadness , gave birth to a child, and only hoped that he would be raised by himself, and that he would have someone to rely on. Unexpectedly, more than half a month ago, he heard the rumors and took away the child, and there has been no news since then. The concubine couldn't bear it, so she came Report the case and ask the elder to make the decision for this concubine, at least... At least return the child to this concubine, I really can't live without this child...he is my life." The woman knelt on the ground, her voice was mellow and sad, It made people feel both pity and love, wishing to beat the skin and bones of the elder brother in the words, and punish him with hatred.

After this Wei Ning finished speaking, Shun Tianfu Yin slapped the gavel and said in a deep voice: "Wei Tong, can you plead guilty to what the plaintiff said?"

As a person in front of the imperial court, Wei Tong does not need to kneel down in the hall.He glanced at the others, and said calmly: "This crime, I don't admit it."

Wei Tong's words made Shuntian Fu Yin slightly raise his eyebrows, and then said: "It is true that you can't just listen to this person's words, come here, pass on the witness—"

"Yes!"

Not long after, a man dressed as a servant came in shyly following the official. Wei Tong felt familiar when he saw him, and he recognized who it was after he opened his mouth.This is the servant he recruited when he was in Hangzhou. After he left Hangzhou, the house was handed over to Ah Chen to take care of him.When the man's eyes touched Wei Tong, he immediately looked away in fright, and his eyes fell firmly on the floor tiles in front of him, and the hands next to his legs subconsciously clenched into fists.Shun Tianfu Yin coughed twice, looked at the person kneeling beside the woman and asked, "Zhang Daniu, tell me what you know."

"Yes, yes. Caomin is, he was Lord Wei's servant when he was in Hangzhou. At that time, Lord Wei was not yet an official, but a businessman. People outside said that he was good, but in fact the mansion was closed. His biological sister forced him to do that every day! Chen Su was in charge of Mr. Wei's personal affairs. I was afraid, so I didn't dare to say anything. Later, Mr. Wei left Hangzhou and took away his sister from the house. Cao Min didn't want to stay in Hangzhou, so he came all the way to the capital to do work. Half a month ago, Wei Ning asked She came to the door and said that she gave birth to a child but was snatched away by her brother. She really couldn't bear it anymore and must put this beast to justice. Cao Min thought that this matter was beyond the reach of nature, so she gritted her teeth and agreed to testify. "Although Zhang Daniu was shaking and swishing, he finally finished speaking.

The governor of Shuntian Mansion shouted: "Wei Tong, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, you still don't admit it?"

"Where is the physical evidence?" Wei Tong asked, and Shuntian Fu Yin smiled with an unclear meaning, "Bring the child up!" Following his words, Chen Cha was pushed in with a child carved in powder and jade in his hands , the officials behind him watched from time to time.Wei Tong's face was full of anger, and he was even more angry when he saw Xiao Ke who was hugged in a swaddling baby, but he was quickly suppressed. "Master Fu Yin is eager to ask questions, and even children can go straight to the execution hall. Only when you see an adult, you will know the meaning of unscrupulousness. It is really a word, and I can't bear to scatter." Living people are used as physical evidence, which is outrageous. .

Faced with Wei Tong's sarcasm and sarcasm, Shuntian Fu Yin was a little annoyed, and slapped the gavel again.Originally, he didn't have any good feelings for these imperial guards, but they were just dandy kids who went out of their way, relying on the merits of their parents to do nothing but be able to get promoted quickly, how can people not feel jealous?This Wei Tong seems to have no connections, but he was a businessman in his previous life, and he may have spent a lot of money to get to where he is today.But now this fact of brother-sister incest is enough to obliterate this person's entire future!Thinking of this, he was actually a little happy.

After seeing the child, the woman was so excited that she wanted to rush forward, and said softly: "Son, I am your mother, do you remember?" Xiao Ke heard the words close to his ears, and hurriedly said His face was buried on Chen Cha's shoulder again. If he hadn't looked at the scene wrongly, he would have thrown himself into Wei Tong's arms immediately.Yin Gao of Shuntian Prefecture was sitting in the lobby, and he couldn't see the child's face clearly, but he stopped drinking after watching the farce below, and the official sent him back to his seat.Chen Cha stood in the distance protecting the child.

"Wei Tong, stop arguing. You are not married, and you have no concubine. The people in your house have already been interrogated. This child did appear suddenly more than half a month ago. Tell me, this child Where did it come from?" The pressing question of Shuntian Fu Yin happened to be something that Wei Tong couldn't answer.Xiao Ke's appearance was too sudden, and he couldn't figure out the ins and outs.However, at the next moment, Wei Tong smiled and said: "My lord, the humble job has nothing to do and picked up a child to raise. Is it possible that I have to give this child a history so that others can interrogate him?"

Wei Tong's rhetorical question made Shuntianfu Yi choke, and Wei Tong hadn't finished speaking, "And I also have a question, I want to ask this... sister to answer my doubts. Since you claim to be my sister, do you have any questions?" What evidence can prove your blood relationship with me?" Not to mention that Wei Ning is still on his way to Beijing, just talk about Wei Tong's actual situation, this matter is as ridiculous as a fantasy.

Fake Wei Ning said without hesitation: "Brother has a black mole the size of a grain of rice on his left chest." Such a close-fitting logo is indeed only known to those who have been close to it.After hearing the answer, Shun Tianfu Yin asked again pretendingly: "Then how did you find Zhang Daniu, you are just a weak woman, how do you know where he is?"

"After the concubine gave birth, he ran out secretly with him. Originally, after he took me to the north, he found another place to house me. After he didn't come, I sold some things and left there. When I found out I was pregnant on the road, I found a place to give birth and came to the suburbs of Beijing to live. After the child was snatched away, I kept looking for it in the capital. Unexpectedly, I met Chen Daniu in the west market on the first day. I was thinking of him After who was it, I found him in desperation." Fake Wei Ning cried, crying so much that it was pity.

Shuntian Mansion Yin sighed, and after a few words of comfort, he looked at Wei Tong again, "Wei Tong, what else do you have to say?" Wei Tong still refused to recognize him from the beginning to the end, and he was so angry that Shuntian Mansion Yin was half dead and helpless.Because of Wei Tong's identity, he couldn't punish Wei Tong. When he knew that Wei Tong was taking a break, he was furious and put him in prison, planning to have another trial tomorrow.If there is a result of the trial, the emperor will definitely not blame him.

After Wei Tong was sent to prison, he was only worried about Xiao Ke's situation. As for this criminal case, he was really angry and funny.But even though it looked ridiculous, the momentum was so strong that everything was almost investigated. The events of the past ten years were basically dug up, and even the people from the old house were brought in as so-called witnesses.Regardless of whether it is fake Wei Ning or Zhang Daniu's words, it will be a great blow to Wei Tong's reputation. open.Coupled with the recent prevalence of opposition from the imperial court against the Wei family, it will be even worse when Shuntian Fu Yin comes to a conclusion.If it wasn't for the relationship between Kangxi and Wei Tong... this matter would have been a dead end for Wei Tong.After all, now, there is only a so-called confession missing.

Sitting against the cold wall, Wei Tong shook his head helplessly. Speaking of which, Shangfangyuan... should be called the Punishment Department now.He has also stayed in the prison of the Punishment Department, and now he can experience the prison in Shuntian Mansion. I don't know if he will see what the prisons in other places look like in the future, maybe he can give a summary.

A few hours later, he was transferred from the Shuntian Mansion prison to the Criminal Ministry prison.Wei Tong...very good, his goal has taken another small step forward.

Guo Sihai knew that it was not a trivial matter for the emperor to go out of the palace, so he hurried back to the Ministry of Punishment after he went down to court, and made plans after sorting things out early.Looking up at the emperor's understatement, but instantly suppressing the courage of all the remarks, he knew that the emperor would definitely keep this person, and if something went wrong, it would not be his turn to suffer this disaster!Shuntian Fuyin, that old bastard, must settle accounts after this matter!

However, after looking through the case file that was just delivered, Guo Sihai lamented a little. Although the case was obvious, it would not be impossible if the sentence originally planned by Yin Shuntian was followed.After all, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, the identity of Wei Tong's sister is almost certain, and the characteristics of the child have also been identified, and there are witnesses. According to common sense, this matter has a conclusion.It's just...Guo Sihai cheered up, no matter what, the judgment must not be in his own hands.

However, a quarter of an hour later, Sheng Jia arrived quietly, Guo Sihai hurried out to greet him, and sent someone to decorate the lobby to separate Sheng Jia.In the end, he sat back in his seat, changed to a serious look, and shouted: "Shengtang——"
