[Red Mansion] The happiness of a winner in life

When Jia Amnesty came over, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the Imperial Censor of Ducha were already there.There was a letter on the imperial case in front of the emperor, but Jia Amnesty didn't read it carefully.

"Your Majesty, I found these items in Zhou Qing's room. Please take a look at them, Your Majesty."

The eunuch came over and put the bellyband, obscene trousers and fire avoidance map on the tray and presented them.

The eunuch was also a little embarrassed looking at these things, hesitating whether to present them.This thing is filthy, it will stain the eyes of the Holy One.

"Duofu, why are you hesitating? Why don't you present the things quickly?"

Duofu knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty...this thing insults His Majesty's eyes and ears, and my servant dare not."

"Submit it quickly, what are you talking about?" The emperor was a little angry, why is this blessing so unlucky.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Duo Fu hurriedly presented the things and placed them far away from the emperor.

Gently unfold the clothes, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Looking at the "Li" on the bellyband and the menstrual blood on the obscene trousers, the emperor's face turned green.When the eunuch opened the fire avoidance map, his face turned blue.

The joy of London and London between husband and wife is a matter of course, and there is nothing wrong with having more tricks.But the painting on it turned out to be very cruel and violent, making people uncomfortable to look at.

"This is the suicide note found in Mrs. Li's room, come up and have a look." The emperor ordered Jia She.

"Yes." Jia Amnesty stepped forward and unfolded the letter, browsing through the ten lines at a glance.

There is not much written on it, but it is just crying about being preempted by Zhou Qing and even pregnant with an evil child.I hope that with death as an apology, the husband will continue to marry a step-wife and have more children.

Looking at the inscription above, it was written by Mrs. Li the day before his death.I guess it was a little hesitant, but after being provoked by the two of them the next day, he made up his mind to hit him to death.

"Roujia found this from Li Shi's dressing box, and the Ministry of Criminal Inspection found that it was Li Shi's handwriting." The emperor explained lightly.

"Your Majesty, now we need to order someone to search for Li's clothes and compare them with these."

"Okay. Honghua, you take someone there yourself, and be sure to bring Li Shi's clothes back."

The big court lady behind her bowed, "Your servant respects your life." After speaking, he picked out a few palace maids to go out together.

"According to you dear ministers, how is the situation of this case?" The emperor looked at the three people expressionlessly.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice hesitated for a while and stood up, "Your Majesty, there are many doubts about this incident, and it is not easy to make a conclusion."

Zuodu Yushi crossed out the plan in his heart to excuse Mr. Zhou Ge, saying that he has nothing to do with Mr. Zhou Ge, and let's just talk about it according to the case.

"Weichen took people to visit the wives of Zhao Langzhong's neighbors, and they all said that Mrs. Li is a very well-behaved woman. She is at home on weekdays and has never had contact with outsiders."

Looking up carefully at the emperor's expression, "She was also a very cheerful woman, but she has become melancholy in recent months."

Seeing the emperor's bad complexion, he was even more nervous, "All the servants in the mansion said... Madam has always been lenient and kind, but recently she has become a lot more irritable. And people in Madam Zhao's yard said... they heard Madam Crying, and seeing blood-stained clothes."

The emperor suddenly threw out the teacup in his hand, "What a Zhou Qing, it's really a good job to usurp the wives of subordinates in broad daylight!"

The three lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, allowing the emperor to vent his emotions.Zhou Ge was always promoted by the emperor, and the relationship between the monarch and his ministers was very harmonious.

Naturally, the emperor also had expectations for Zhou Qing.When Zhou Qing came to the Ministry of Household Affairs, he asked specifically, knowing that Zhou Qing was doing a good job, so he was at ease.Unexpectedly, it was Zhou Qing who did such shameless and law-breaking things.

"Zhou Qing will be interrogated in Dali Temple, and the three divisions will interrogate. Bring all these evidences to me, and I will see them myself." The emperor asked for interrogation of Zhou Qing immediately with a gloomy face.

The three of them came down together, and the emperor stopped Jia She again, "Set up a screen in the hall, and Roujia will be the witness. After a while, Honghua will take all the things over there."

The emperor ordered someone to change clothes, and the three went to Dali Temple to arrange it first, and took Zhou Qing out of the prison with their fingerprints.The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment quietly ordered someone to pass the news to Mr. Zhou Ge, hoping that he could come up with an idea.

Mr. Zhou Ge was anxious and angry when he received the news from the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so he didn't know his son's mistake.But he only has such a son, what will happen to their family's incense if something happens!

He really didn't understand why his son wanted to commit adultery!The daughter-in-law is gentle and virtuous, and there are many concubines in the family, and she has never wronged him.

Not to mention that although he doesn't like to study, his every move is very decent, and he never thought that he would force his subordinate's wife!He thought it was Zhao Langzhong who took money from his opponent's family to make a false accusation, but he actually found something from his son's room.

That's when he knew that he might not be able to be kind. He knew Jia She very well.Although he only participated in the review of the case, as long as he did not comply with the provisions of the criminal law, he would be sent back.He is extremely stubborn and capable.

Jia Amnesty has his own principles and will not excuse others easily.He has a high status and will not be afraid of his threats.The Jia family is no longer in his control.

With tears in his eyes, Elder Zhou Ge only hoped that the emperor would allow Qing'er to keep the child and execute the death sentence, otherwise...he would not be able to have another child at such an old age.

He and his wife are affectionate, and his mother is happy to see this, and is not keen on giving him a favor.As a result, he only had one son and two daughters, Qing'er. If Qing'er disappeared, the Zhou family would be over.

When Mr. Zhou Ge received the official notice of Zhou Qing's interrogation, he granted himself a leave of absence to go to Dali Temple.He still has this privilege, and His Majesty will not blame him for it.

When Zhou Ge arrived at Dali Temple, they had already started interrogating him.The three presiding judges sat on chairs, the emperor sat on the seat above, and a large screen was erected in the hall.

The emperor didn't say anything when he saw him coming, and motioned Duofu to add a seat under him.The interrogation is still going on now, so it's not appropriate to disturb him, just let Mr. Zhou Ge sit by himself.

After taking out the physical evidence obtained by Honghua from Zhao's house and Jia Amnesty's from Zhou's house, and comparing the handwriting on the fire-avoiding map with Zhou Qing's handwriting, it is certain that it belongs to Li and Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing was surprised and desperate when he saw it. He didn't understand how he could be discovered because he hid it so well.

No one dared to use torture in front of the emperor, so he only asked questions.If Zhou Qing doesn't answer, keep asking repeatedly until he answers.After a while, Zhou Qing was dizzy, thinking that his own father was sitting on it, even if he confessed, he would definitely not be sentenced to death.

Zhou Qing boldly explained the whole story.

It turned out that when he went to Zhao's house for a banquet, he turned to the second door, and he was a little surprised to see the female relatives suddenly.Although the layout was similar, the Zhao family was too small compared to the Zhou family, so he thought it was still in the outer courtyard.

When I first met her, I was amazed, the delicacy of a girl and the style of a mature young woman were reflected in her at the same time.The weather was relatively hot, and a drop of sweat flowed from her temples.

After discovering him, Mrs. Li saluted from a distance, then quickly covered her face and left, and he returned to the banquet in a daze.As the saying goes: "What you can't get is the best." He tossed and turned for Li Shi, this is the woman he dreamed of.

Unconsciously increased the number of visits to Zhao's house, but never saw her again.Later, he thought of a way to visit Zhao Langzhong when he was not at home, and Mrs. Li had to come forward to wait for him, and then he relieved his lovesickness.

He felt that Li Shi's affectionate eyes always seduced him vaguely, so he must have feelings for him.So he asked her to pass on the excuse of confidentiality, and hugged her soft body tightly after waving away the people.

Li Shi struggled, but he threatened to strip her if he called someone over, so Li Shi didn't dare to say anything.The two of them achieved a good thing, but Zhao Langzhong also came home and happened to see this scene.

Mrs. Li cried too much, and Langzhong Zhao cried while holding his wife.Zhou Qing threatened them that if they refused to comply, he would let his father deal with them, so that Langzhong Zhao could not get along in the household department.

Under forced helplessness, Langzhong Zhao opened his eyes and closed his eyes, ignoring Zhou Qing who often came to the house, and unwilling to talk to his wife.As a result, Mrs. Li became pregnant by accident, and now the origin of the child is unclear.

In shame and anger, Li hit the wall and committed suicide. He threatened Zhao Langzhong not to speak out and then left.

Feeling the increasingly solid atmosphere, Zhou Qing lowered his voice slowly.The emperor closed his eyes severely, and looked at Zhou Ge in disappointment.Zhou Ge's face was full of despair, and the breath of aging and decadence suddenly appeared.

The emperor couldn't bear it, but he still ignored it. "Three lovers, how do you think the sentence should be dealt with?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs vaguely sensed the emperor's intentions, and he felt relaxed, "According to my minister, although Li Shi was suppressed by force at first, but later Li Shi did not dare to call for help and obeyed the Master Zhou. The responsibility lies with Li Shi, when the servants are all around If she calls for help, nothing will happen."

He secretly glanced at the emperor, "Therefore, the two should be designated as 'adultery', according to the law, they should be punished with a staff of one hundred, and they will not continue to use their duties after being dismissed."

Jia Amnesty disagreed, "Your Majesty, Master Zhou's coercion of a woman's obedience with her reputation is also a form of coercion by force. In ancient language, it is a big thing to lose morality. Naturally, Li wants to preserve her reputation so as not to lose face in front of her servants. It is forced and should be punished as '□□'."

He arched his hands and said, "According to the law, a woman who has a husband will die. But after the two dated, Li did not resist out of her husband's acquiescence, which should be regarded as 'adultery'. According to the law, one hundred , Expelled from the name. Zhou Qing should be punished with a staff of one hundred, and beheaded."

Elder Zhou Ge almost stood up and scolded Jia She, and the emperor was shocked by Jia She's words.Jia Amnesty was too ruthless. Although it was said that everyone should be executed before, most of them were not sentenced in this way.

The emperor still wanted to save Zhou Qing's life. After all, the Zhou family only had one son.Turning his gaze to Ducha Yushi, I hope he can say a few words.

Ducha Yushi has been doing this for so many years, so he naturally sensed that the emperor's attitude has softened, and he wanted to make love to the emperor. "Your Majesty, all goodness and filial piety are the first, and the Zhou family only has this one son. If Zhou Qing is executed, the Zhou family will have no descendants, but Mr. Zhou has been loyal to the country for so many years..."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "Aiqing's words are justified. After all, there are heavy codes in troubled times. Now it is a peaceful and prosperous age. There is no need for such severe punishment. Besides, Mrs. Li is also a licentious person. When she is forced, she should call for help, but she is still forced by others." .Not as good as..."

Jia She interrupted the emperor's words and said righteously: "No matter the severity of the criminal law, it should be submitted to the court for revision. Before that, we must deal with the criminal law. If the wife and family of Zhou Qing's subordinates do not follow the law today, they will be punished in the future. There are people to imitate. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

After a pause, Jia Amnesty softened his tone, "If Your Majesty is truly sympathetic to Mr. Zhou's lack of future successors, you can sentence Zhou Qing to prison and wait for April. After April, he will be sent to the execution ground. If Zhou Qing dies or disappears, please Mr. Zhou to replace him." I'll take it."

The emperor was only sympathetic to Zhou Ge's old man who had no heirs, and he also agreed with Jia She's suggestion, and admired his son-in-law even more in his heart.Looking at Elder Zhou Ge, I sympathized with him for losing his son in his old age, but hated Zhou Qing even more for being shapeless.

The criminal law is there, and I have to be self-righteous and drill into it.I don't even want my life just to be happy, huh.The emperor ignored Zhou Qing who was crying and begging for mercy on the ground, and drove straight back to the palace.

Jia Amnesty ordered the place to be cleaned up, and Zhou Qing asked Mr. Zhou Ge to take him home.

"You are amazing, but I can't compare to you. How did you realize that?" Zhou Qing asked hoarsely.

Jia She smiled lightly, "Your room is really what a gentleman should look like. I let my guard down, but I accidentally discovered the things in your room. If you want people to know, you have to do nothing. The more you cover it up, the more suspicious you will be." That's all."

Zhou Qing followed Zhou Ge to go home, and Jia Amnesty took Shui Ze away from behind the screen.Before Shui Ze left, he suddenly asked, "Why is the fire-avoiding map really Zhou Qing's?"

Jia She said with a smile: "This is Zhou Qing's inner room. It is true that Mr. Zhou Ge's only son was murdered, but if he can't manage his own room well, then there is no need to mess around. Besides, the paint on the walls is the same. The color is different only in certain places. If the master didn't make it himself, who would be able to move Zhou Qing's inner room?"

Mizusawa nodded, and the two left together.They have already tried their best on this matter, as for Zhao Langzhong... It is estimated that it will not be better, Zhou Ge will not be safe if he is alive, even if he is a victim.
