Chapter 212: Dog Eats Dog
What the? "Dead?" Xia Ye's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "How did she die?" ”
"It is said that the business of Jiujulou is not good, and she committed suicide by jumping into the river."
There is no proof of obvious death, Xia Ye didn't expect Xing'er to die, so how to solve her mystery?
"Then I will sue the governor of Minzhou, embezzle and accept bribes, despise the king's law, and obtain personal gain!" Since there is no proof of death, then she can only learn the truth of the matter from Jiang Xiangtian's mouth.
Jiang Xiangtian patted the case board: "Your case is being tried now, you can't just make false accusations against this official." ”
"This matter is also indirectly related to my case, so I want to sue the governor of Minzhou!" Xia Ye insisted.
"Since it's related, there's nothing you can't do." Zhang Zi suddenly opened his mouth to help.
"But..."Seeing Zhang Dudu speak, Jiang Xiangtian was a little powerless to refute, so he had to nod and agree: "Then you tell me about the false accusation against this official." ”
Xia Ye suddenly wanted to laugh, but before she could say anything, this Jiang Xiangtian said that she had falsely accused him.
"Since you are now trying your case of corruption and bribery, you go down and I will try the case." Zhang Zi got up and walked to the main hall.
"Huh?" Why did he, a governor, go from a judge to a defendant?
Zhang Zi slapped the board, and a majestic aura immediately appeared: "What did the woman in the hall sue him?" ”
Xia Ye knelt on the ground: "Lord Hui, when the folk girl was imprisoned, a friend once took thousands of gold to ransom me in my restaurant, but all of them were lost, not only did there be no reply, but the money was also swallowed by the governor of Minzhou." ”
"You talk nonsense!" Jiang Xiangtian didn't know any of her friends at all, let alone thousands of gold: "My lord, the lower official was wronged, and the lower official did not receive any thousands of gold." ”
"You said he took thousands of dollars from you, do you have any proof?" Zhang Zi asked Xia Ye.
Natsuba nodded: "Yes!" My friend's name is Feng Qi, and my lord can announce him to the hall to confront the governor of Minzhou. ”
Feng Qi? When did she and Feng Qi become friends? Jiang Xiangtian's eyes rolled, and he didn't understand Xia Ye's words a little.
Zhang Zi patted the board: "Xuan Feng Qi enters the hall." ”
Feng Qi didn't know what was going on, so he was taken to the yamen by Hong Ying, saying that he would hear the trial together, why did he still announce him now?
"Villain Feng Qi meets the Lord Qingtian!" Feng Qi suddenly had a bad premonition and looked at Xia Ye and Jiang Xiangtian who were kneeling in the hall.
"Feng Qi, this official asked you, the woman in the hall said that you had taken thousands of gold in her restaurant and planned to ransom her, but is there such a thing?"
Oops! Although he took the money in the restaurant, but he didn't give it to the governor of Minzhou, all of it was privately swallowed into his own money bag, if he admitted that it was, then the governor of Minzhou would definitely refute it, but if he didn't admit it, then where did he take the money?
"This official is asking you!" Zhang Zi patted the board and said.
Feng Qi was frightened, lay on the ground and said, "The villain did give money to the governor of Minzhou and said that he wanted to ransom people, but the governor of Minzhou did not agree. ”
"How much money did you give him, saying you wanted to ransom people?" Zhang Zi asked again.
"The villain... The villain took five hundred gold..."Feng Qi lowered his head and said.
Zhang Zi felt that this Feng Qi was not telling the truth, so he continued to ask: "But the woman in the hall said that you took thousands of gold from the restaurant." ”
"The villain did take 3,000 gold in the restaurant, but the villain saw that the governor of Minzhou received the money but didn't do anything, so he had to give up and didn't send it again, and the rest of the money was not returned to her before the villain had time to go."
"You talk nonsense!" Jiang Xiangtian heard that this Feng Qi took 3,000 gold, but only gave him 500 gold, and he was angry in his heart, so he simply told the truth: "My lord clearly checked, Xia Guan did accept Feng Qi 500 gold, but he didn't come to ransom people, he let Xia Guan kill people." ”
"Oh?" Zhang Zi was even more curious: "Master Zhai just said that this case is boring, and this official will think it is very interesting!" ”
Master Zhai laughed twice on the side, "Lord Du Du is right, the villain also finds it interesting now." ”
"This official will give you one last chance, if you tell the truth, you can be treated leniently, if anyone dares to tell a lie, they will be punished by criminal law!" Zhang Zi sat on the high hall and said solemnly.
Jiang Xiangtian thought that he had embezzled at most, and if he took the initiative to confess, he would definitely get leniency, so he took the initiative to ask to tell the truth.
"My lord, the lower official is willing to confess."
Hearing that Jiang Xiangtian was going to confess, Feng Qi began to panic, and looked at Xia Ye with a little panic, he thought that he could solve this trusted palace master today, but he didn't expect things to reverse, and now he can't protect himself.
"Tell the truth!" Zhang Zi patted the board and said.
"Some time ago, Feng Qi found Xia Guan, saying that he was going to be the first person to fornicate with mountain bandits, Xia Guan asked him what evidence he had, and he said that he had some evidence to prove."
Speaking of this, Jiang Xiangtian glanced at Feng Qi: "Later, the lower officials found out that this woman had fornicated with mountain bandits, and the evidence was conclusive. After Jiang Xiangtian finished speaking, he took out the ivory chain that was torn off Xia Ye's neck from his arms that day.
"This is physical evidence, this ivory chain is the belongings of the mountain bandit leader, and it was found on this woman."
Now Jiang Xiangtian already knows Xia Ye's identity, so he doesn't dare to offend easily, but in order to pick himself up as much as possible, he still explained the human and physical evidence when Xia Ye fornicated with the mountain bandits.
"Later, Xia Guan saw that there were all the human and material evidence, so he put her in prison, but later this Feng Qi sent gold, silver and jewelry to Xia Guan, a total of 500 gold, and said that Xia Guan must execute this woman who fornicated with mountain bandits."
"At that time, Xia Guan didn't know what was going on, so he shirked it a few times, and seeing that Feng Qi insisted on giving it, Xia Guan had to reluctantly accept it, but I don't know how she said that she was friends with Feng Qi today?" After Jiang Xiangtian finished speaking, he pretended to be innocent.
Xia Ye originally wanted Jiang Xiangtian to admit the fact of corruption, and then say why Xing'er framed her, how could she hear him say that this Feng Qi actually wanted her life behind his back? So all of this, including Xing'er's false accusations, was all done by Feng Qiyi?
"Feng Qi?" Xia Ye looked at Feng Qi kneeling beside her in disbelief, she had always only thought that Feng Qi was probably just a treacherous person, but she didn't expect him to disobey her and want to kill her!
Feng Qi's eyes flickered, he didn't dare to look at Xia Ye who was full of annoyance, but he was thinking about how to explain it in his mind.
"Is it just as Governor Jiang said?" Zhang Zi asked Feng Qi.
"The villain... Villain..."Feng Qi thought that since he couldn't explain it clearly today, he simply pulled Xia Ye into the water: "Yes, it is indeed as Governor Jiang said." ”
Fortunately, Jiang Xiangtian didn't help her clarify her fornication with the mountain bandit just now, even if he admitted to bribing Jiang Xiangtian, anyway, Xia Ye is also a bandit who wants to be shown to the public, maybe if he admits what Jiang Xiangtian said, he will not die.
"Why?" Xia Ye looked at Feng Qi angrily.
