Chapter 042
The boat flutters gently on the water, the sun shines down, the waves are rippling, it is a very suitable day to play, it will be spring, the weeping willows on both sides of the White River have sent out new buds, fresh and tender green.
She stood on the deck, feeling very comfortable, thinking that she would be able to marry Wei Lang in less than a while, and then the two would face each other day and night, not believing that he would not be fascinated by herself. Unexpectedly, the hull of the ship shook violently, only a loud sound was heard, and I don't know what was going on, many people rushed from the stern of the boat, including boatmen and subordinates, all of whom were saying that the boat had crashed, and sure enough, it was shaking more and more.
At this moment, she was suddenly knocked on the back, and with surprising strength, she fell off the deck without reacting.
Water poured in her ears, and she lay on her back in the waves, so that she could see the people on the deck clearly.
On the left is the panicked Chen Yujing, and on the right is Liu Ying, with her hands on her sleeves, triumphant, as if she was appreciating the play she had planned.
But she couldn't do anything, and her body sank straight down.
It was pitch black.
Luo Baoying sat up from the bed abruptly, sweating profusely.
It's been a long time since I've had such a nightmare, Zifu heard it from outside, hurriedly came in, and said softly: "The girl is dreaming, the slave and maid heard it and shouted." ”
"Did you hear what you said?" She asked.
"No, as if talking about ......water," Zifu said, "Is the girl thirsty?" ”
"Nope." Luo Baoying leaned on the pillow and half-lowered her eyes, "But you said it, let's drink some." ”
Zifu hurriedly went to the kitchen to fetch water.
The night was deep, there was silence, in this early autumn night, there was not even the sound of insects, she stretched out her snow-white arm, pulled the quilt, wrapped in a little cold.
At this point, it's time to end, right?
Otherwise, how could those prisoners be beheaded after the autumn?
Coming out of Liu's mansion, Liu Ying wore a hat and went straight to the household yamen, although Mrs. Liu said that she should not go out again at this time, but she must not sit still, she has to clear her grievances and make those people regret it.
Yang Xu was discussing the matter of Tian Tax with the two adults in the main hall, someone from outside handed over the letter, he glanced at it, did not move, and waited until the matter was done before standing up and asked, "Are you still outside?" ”
"Yes." The attendant replied.
Yang Xu walked out.
At the gate, sure enough, there was a girl waiting, wearing a plain white dress, with a full waist and limbs, looking a lot thinner than before, if he didn't know who it was, he might not recognize it with this figure. It can be seen that the rumors are terrible, and this has not yet been convicted, so it tortures people without human form.
"Cousin." He walked up to him and whispered, "Why are you here?" ”
In front of his face, Liu Ying took off her hat.
Although the person has lost weight, his appearance has not changed, he is still extremely beautiful, his cousin's face is not as graceful as Luo Zhen, the country is beautiful and fragrant, but beautiful and generous, durable, I don't think it is at first, after a long time, once or twice, it is easy for people to remember, only when he was about to speak, he saw tears falling from Liu Ying's eyes.
Drops are like pearls, sliding down the cheeks.
"Cousin, I'm really desperate, please help me, I want to avenge my grievances!" Liu Ying wanted to step forward, but her body staggered, and she suddenly fell into Yang Xu's arms.
It doesn't matter if everyone in the world doesn't treat her, but as long as Yang Xu believes it, it's enough.
Because he is the crown prince, he said a word, in the emperor, and even the queen, Mrs. Liu's heart is very weighty, she has to win him over first, and get Yang Xu's affirmation first, then it will be easier for her to marry.
The weak body didn't seem to have any strength, Yang Xu frowned slightly, supported her and said, "Cousin, you said you wanted to avenge your grievances, so how are you going to ......?"
As he spoke, a young man in the distance strode over, raised his eyebrows and said, "Cousin, so coincidental?" Do you want to avenge your grievances? ”
Staring at the enemy opposite, Luo Tianchi's eyes were on fire, if it weren't for the open-mindedness of Liu Ying, he would have sneaked into her boudoir early in the morning and took off her head!
Now I have to endure it.
Seeing Luo Tianchi, Liu Ying was startled, she was a little weak-hearted, she lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "Could it be that my cousin, like those people, thinks that I pushed my cousin into the water?" She bit her lip, "I know that people out there are suspicious of me, and they listen to rumors indiscriminately, so I have come today to sue those who slander me." I don't know much about the complaint, cousin, and please write it for me......"
Before she finished speaking, Luo Tianchi sneered: "Paper? I've already written. ”
Both men looked at him in surprise.
Luo Tianchi said word by word: "I, Luo Tianchi, sued Liu Ying for murdering my sister Luo Zhen!" ”
It was no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Liu Ying's face suddenly turned pale, and Yang Xu couldn't help but let go of his hand, stared at Luo Tianchi and said, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"Of course." Luo Tianchi looked at Liu Ying, "Shuntianfu has already received the paper, and in two days, we will see you in court." ”
Liu Ying was stunned and couldn't say a word.
This shocking case in court spread instantly, and of course the Locke family also knew about it, after all, it had been boiling in Kyoto for several months at this time, and everyone was speculating whether Liu Ying had done the poison.
The old lady inevitably gossiped, and said to the Yuan family: "Since the sons of the Luo family have identified Miss Liu, it must be her, she is really vicious, Miss Luo is her cousin, she grew up together." ”
Yuan stroked his stomach and sighed: "Probably jealous of Miss Luo, I heard that the queen mother, Mrs. Liu loves her very much." ”
The old lady sighed twice: "It's not a concubine, it's really ......" said and suddenly stopped, the Yuan family in this house, and the two granddaughters are all concubines, but they can't overturn a boatload of people with a rod, she smiled and patted Yuan's hand, "People are different from people, this Miss Liu, her heart and liver must be black, poor Lang'er, she originally had a good wife, but now she has also been harmed." ”
Yuan's smile didn't care about the old lady's words.
In fact, as a concubine, no matter how much she pretends to be a mustard on the surface, there is no one in her heart who is not jealous of her concubine, if it weren't for God's will, who would want to be a concubine?
It's just that the man is better off than his own life.
Luo Baozhang pouted: "It's so lively, it's a pity that I can't watch it." ”
Luo Baoying held the stove, warm, and secretly thought to herself, the person she wanted to see the most was here, but even if she didn't go, she could know Liu Ying's ending.
Because of this ending, she arranged it for her.
Just like Liu Ying at the beginning, she also set the result.
Retribution.
On September 6th, before the gate of Shuntianfu was opened, it was already full of people who came to watch, after all, it was a rich family's grievances, and it spread so lively, hanging people's hearts, and waiting until this day, how could you not be curious? is that all the girls in the boudoir are eager to try, but it is a pity that they are strict in the end and can't show their heads.
Therefore, most of the people who came were sons and brothers, or ordinary people.
Luo Tianchi arrived early in the morning, he was even more anxious than those people's hearts, just waiting to see Liu Ying Fufa, he stood in the hall, holding his hands, wearing a black brocade robe, standing as quiet as a pine.
The back was dark and dreary, like a thick night.
Liu Ying was late.
Before coming, she told Mrs. Liu that she hoped that Mrs. Liu would believe her and tell Luo Tianchi not to mess around, but Mrs. Liu was so cold, saying that she would not do anything wrong, and she was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, as long as she was innocent, the prefect would definitely return her innocence.
But although she believed that she had made no mistakes, she was still frightened by Luo Tianchi's actions, he was so resolute and ruthless, what did he want to do?
In the past few days, she has been sleepless all night, and in a trance she feels as if her life has ended, only to see the bright sun in the morning and the gorgeous dress, she still does not want to admit defeat.
She's got to get through it!
As if walking on a rope, she was dignified and never swayed, walking through the crowd step by step to the main hall of the yamen.
The prefect sitting in the hall, with an iron face and selflessness, knocked the startling wood, and the officials on both sides made a mighty sound, resounding inside and outside, and Liu Ying's legs instantly became a little weak.
Luo Tianchi preemptively struck: "Lord Prefect, there are slaves and maids in the Benhou Mansion who were instructed by Liu Ying, and she got a lot of money to hide the matter of pushing people on the tour boat for Liu Ying, and ask the adults to investigate thoroughly." ”
The prefect immediately brought people up.
Seeing that the girl was in her teens and her face was round, Liu Ying looked over and was taken aback: "Falling moon? Her eyes widened, and she tried her best to argue, "My lord, Luo Tianchi slandered me, I have never given her a lot of money, let alone know about pushing people, please find out and return my innocence!" ”
As she spoke, she stared at Luo Tianchi fiercely, and at the same time felt a little disdain in her heart, what good way did he have, it turned out that he was looking for someone to frame her. Also, this kind of case was originally extremely difficult to trivialize, otherwise with the queen's ability, Chen Yujing would have been arrested a long time ago.
Now find a girl...... That Yahuan is a person from the Yichun Marquis Mansion, he wants that Yahuan to say this, Yahuan is obedient, who can not know the truth?
is really stupid, like Luo Zhen, others praise her for her talent, and they think she is really good, but except for calligraphy, which one can beat her? It's just because of this identity that the world has been blinded, and it has also made her Liu Yingming dusty!
She lifted her chin proudly.
Unexpectedly, Luo Tianchi asked someone to take out another thing: "This was found in her room, and there were also officials present at the time, and she could never afford it with her monthly money, and besides, this thing was given to Liu Ying by my sister more than a year ago." ”
A red gold hairpin inlaid with sapphire is made in the palace and is unparalleled in the world
Liu Ying was really moved, because Luo Zhen did give her a lot of things, only from her hands, she would never like it, so the hairpin was put away by her in the morning.
How could it be!
"This hairpin should be in my makeup......," she cried out, "it can't be, it can't be here!" ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
The prefect shouted: "Luoyue has already confessed, you gave it to her, are you still quibbling?" Could it be that this hairpin can fly out on its own? ”
"No, it's not, it's you!" Liu Ying looked at Luo Tianchi, her eyes were full of horror, and she understood what his intentions were, she trembled and said, "It's you, you stole it, didn't you?" ”
Luo Tianchi said coldly: "Don't blame Benhou for accusing you of slander again!" ”
There was a lot of excitement outside, and most of them already believed that Liu Ying pushed Luo Zhen, or bribed the falling moon to push Luo Zhen together, after all, it was someone close to her.
It's useless to say anything.
Human witnesses and physical evidence are all there.
Liu Ying had a rumble in her head, and she couldn't speak half-loudly.
Seeing that she still did not admit her guilt, the prefect shouted: "The prisoner is slippery and refuses to speak, so give her a wrench." ”
The last of her strength was drained, and she collapsed to the ground.
Seeing that the white finger was clamped off, Luo Tianchi's face was expressionless, he remembered what Luo Baoying said, originally Liu Ying was just a firefly, it was effortless to deal with her, like a little insect that could trample her to death, but people's hearts were so unpredictable, and partiality made her play with them.
It can be seen that the last thing people can afford to commit is to be arrogant.
But no matter what, Liu Ying's life should be over.
I only heard a scream, and the intermittent voice spit out of her mouth, like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind: "I confess, yes, I pushed Luo Zhen ......"
Blood poured from her fingers, bright red.
