Jiajing frowned and listened to what Zhang Yuan said again. It was very similar to what Yan Song said, but he made Xiao Feng's tyranny even more powerful, and repeatedly emphasized that Xiao Feng didn't take Dongchang seriously at all!
Jiajing knew that Dongchang managed a brothel and didn't think it was a big deal. But now that the matter had become a big deal, he had to ask.
Just when he was about to ask, Lu Bing asked to see him, and Jiajing felt relieved. Finally, someone would stop crying and make a fuss, and he could ask what was going on.
Lu Bing's account is relatively neutral. Although Yan Song and his son were dissatisfied with Jin Yiwei's involvement in this matter, after all, it was not Lu Bing who led the team there.
Moreover, Jiajing did say before that Jin Yiwei should cooperate with Xiao Feng to arrest the traitor, so he only snorted a few times during Lu Bing's narration, and did not choke directly.
Jiajing pondered for a moment: "What is Xiao Feng doing at this time?"
Lu Bing glanced at Yan Song, his son, and Zhang Yuan: "Shuntian Mansion opened its doors, and the case was heard openly. There were many people watching. People from the Three Law Departments and the Five Cities Military and Horse Department were on site to maintain order."
Jiajing shook his head helplessly. He originally wanted to order Xiao Feng to suppress the matter first and call him over to discuss it together. They are all my confidants. It would be best if they can wipe the mud.
But Xiao Feng was engaged in such a big battle, and it was in full view of everyone. It would not be appropriate to forcefully suspend the trial now. He thought about it and finally stood up.
"Since this is a public trial, I don't expect Xiao Feng to be able to seek personal gain. Since you are worried, I will accompany you to take a look."
I know you are worried that Xiao Feng will blow the whistle, so I, the boss of the referee committee, came to the scene in person, so you can rest assured.
Bar.
The Yan family father and son and Zhang Yuan looked at each other helplessly. They were not worried about Xiao Feng blowing the whistle, but they didn't want the game to start at all. Because this guy is so bad, no one knows what he will do.
But now that Jiajing had spoken, they couldn't object, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and set off with Jiajing.
Because there were too many people awaiting trial in the hall and even more people watching the excitement in the hall, Shuntian Mansion, with the help of Jinyiwei and Dali Temple, finally managed to maintain order and the hall could be opened.
At this time, Jiajing led a group of VIP spectators and quietly entered the back hall of Shuntian Mansion through the back door, intending to sit in the VIP private room and watch, and stop the black whistle at any time.
Entering the back hall, I immediately saw Guo Jun lying on the bed, with a white cloth on his head. He looked very sick.
Jiajing frowned and looked at Guo Jun. Guo Jun didn't expect Jiajing to come suddenly, so he quickly got up from the bed, thought about it, and fell directly to the ground, showing that he was very weak.
"Long live... Ahem, long live. I'm not feeling well, so it's really hard to persevere. Fortunately, Mr. Xiao is diligent in his duties and manages the Shuntian Mansion very well.
The corpse of the humble minister is sitting on a plain meal. I am very ashamed of having failed the emperor's favor. I beg for the bones! "
Jiajing was too lazy to talk to him and said, "Everyone, sit down" and occupied the position with the best view.
There aren't many chairs in the back hall, because we don't usually entertain guests. What's more, Xiao Feng's palm smashed a chair into pieces during the last inspection of Liu Xia, so the shortage of chairs that were not rich was even more severe.
Jiajing naturally wanted to occupy a chair. Huang Jin helped Jiajing spread the futon and stood beside it. This is my duty, regardless of Huang Jin
No matter how high his status was, he would never sit down as long as he was in front of Jiajing.
If Huang Jin doesn't sit down, Lu Bing won't sit down either. If Lu Bing doesn't sit down, Zhang Yuan won't sit down even if his leg is broken. Yan Shifan could not sit down in front of his father and Long Live, so he stood.
Yan Song's legs were really weak from running and he couldn't stand. After thanking En, he got a chair to sit on.
Guo Jun was very embarrassed. There was no chair for him to sit on, and if he could stand, he was pretending to be ill. But it was absolutely impossible to go back to bed and lie down.
After thinking about it, Guo Jun took out the horse from under the bed and sat down next to Yan Song, coughing and sighing from time to time.
At this time, there was a sound of the wooden door in the front hall snapping, and Xiao Feng shouted loudly: "Come here, bring the criminal!"
The obese businessman was dragged forward, pushed to the ground, and repeatedly shouted: "Sir, I am really just a businessman. I come to Baihualou every time I come to the capital. It is not illegal for a businessman to visit a brothel!"
Xiao Feng sneered: "It is not illegal for a businessman to visit a brothel, but it is illegal for a businessman to kill someone. Did you kill this woman?"
The businessman winced and looked at the flower slave kneeling on the other side: "It was an accident. She was a brothel girl and died while serving people. I will pay for the property damage that belongs to Baihualou!"
Xiao Feng looked at Hua Nu: "Hua Nu, is this what you usually tell your guests? No wonder your Baihua Tower is packed with people!"
Hua Nu gritted her teeth, knowing that she must not admit this matter, otherwise, even if it makes sense legally, it would not make sense in human terms, so she could only avoid the truth and ignore the truth.
"My lord, what you said is wrong. People's hearts are made of flesh. Naturally, the slave family will not use this as a sign to attract customers.
It just happens
Son, what no one wants is that as for the guests, the most important thing is to be happy. The slave family can't do anything to the guests just because something happened. "
Xiao Feng said calmly: "If the person who dies is indeed the woman who sold herself to death in your Baihua Building, although this matter is against human ethics, it is difficult to control by law.
But you can't get her deed of prostitution. This is forcing a girl into prostitution. What this businessman committed is murder. As a mother, your crime is even higher! "
The businessman was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground: "My lord, my lord, I am just visiting a brothel. She said that as long as the money is enough, I am not afraid of death or injury. The girls in her building are all selling themselves to death!"
Sir, you have to be reasonable. As a brothel visitor, can I still ask the proprietress to show me the girl’s deed of prostitution before I consider whether to play with it or not? "
Xiao Feng suddenly said sincerely and kindly: "My brother is also a businessman. If you put yourself in his shoes, if you just have fun, you won't have to go to such trouble.
But if you know that your actions are not serious or serious, you should really ask the other party to show you the contract next time you go to play!
You went to Baihualou so many times before and played with so many girls to death. You were lucky that nothing happened. If nothing else, weren't you afraid that she would turn around and blackmail you? "
The businessman felt warmed by Xiao Feng's kind tone: "That won't happen. Hua Nu's mother is very honest. Every time she just pays taels of silver, everything will be fine!"
Hua Nu was in a hurry and was about to say something to stop her, but An Qingyue grabbed her shoulder and was so painful that she was speechless.
Xiao Feng sat up straight and looked at the businessman as if he were a dead person: "Sure enough, this is not the first time for you. Killing is forgivable and unreasonable. If you don't die, what will be the law of heaven?"
ah? "
The businessman knew he had been fooled and quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, this is my first time, my first time, I just said it wrong!"
Hua Nu also hurriedly expressed support: "Sir, you are trying to trick us into confessing like this. You are clearly bullying us ordinary people who do not understand the law. You are using your power to bully others!"
Xiao Feng glanced at the girls from Baihualou who were standing down the hall, and spoke in a soft tone, but with incomparable confidence and majesty.
"Girls, Hua Nu doesn't even have a deed of prostitution in her hands now. You don't need to worry about the revenge of those behind her.
Since I dare to try this case, I dare to guarantee your safety. If anyone is willing to testify about what happened today, I will give you a way out!
If you all keep silent and the perpetrators are not punished, they will not let you go when they come back, and they will force you to sign a new contract of sale.
You should think about it carefully, think about the days you lived every day in Baihua Building, think about those sisters who died unjustly and tragically, and make your own choice. "
"Sir, he is right! Every time he comes, the sisters in the building are always on tenterhooks, for fear of being chosen by him!"
"Yes! The sisters who served him all escaped death! This scar on my chest is what he left me!
There was also Xiaohong, who was tortured until she was dying and was thrown into the well before she could even die! "
"Not only him, but also other guests treat us as human beings!"
"They are all beasts!"
"Hua Nu is an evil spirit, she torments us more cruelly than anyone else!
She even poured the hearts of the sisters who were beaten to death into wine and gave it to Zhang Yuan to drink! It is said that it can restore the eunuch's glory! "
The accusations made Hua Nu turn pale, and she turned around.
Trying to show off his usual coldness and cruelty, hoping to scare these girls who are usually like lambs.
But fear made the girls even more convinced of what Xiao Feng said: if she was acquitted, they would be in great trouble!
Therefore, the girls' accusations became more intense and detailed, and the cruel details made the onlookers unable to bear it any longer. They shouted angrily, hoping to severely punish the flower slaves.
Zhang Yuan was sweating profusely in the back hall. Looking at Jiajing's calm face, his legs were shaking more and more violently. Finally, he could no longer hold on and fell to his knees with a plop.
"Long live, they are obviously bewitched by Xiao Feng! Xiao Feng is close to Jin Yiwei and controls Chunyan Tower. Whether in public or private, he hates Dongchang and his slaves with all his heart! Long live!"
Zhang Yuan didn't get it for nothing. These two sentences of complaining and evading the serious matter very cleverly pushed his guilt to the power struggle between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, as well as the business dispute between Chunyan Tower and Baihua Tower.
Yan Shifan was slightly pleased: Compared with the other pig heads, Zhang Yuan looked the most handsome.
Jiajing actually didn't care about this kind of fight, but the girls outside talked more and more, and some girls named specific officials. That naturally happened before the mask-wearing event.
Jiajing frowned slightly, and Yan Song immediately caught Jiajing's emotions and spoke indignantly.
"Long live, officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes. Although this is a rule of the court, it is actually not strictly enforced.
As long as it is not during a national or family mourning period, it is not considered a serious crime. If Xiao Feng acts in such a disorderly manner, won't it make the imperial court lose face? "
Jiajing slightly
Head: "Lu Bing, go and remind Xiao Feng that enough is enough."
Lu Bing walked out of the back hall and patted Xiao Feng's back gently. Xiao Feng turned around and saw him, and immediately guessed that Jiajing was in the back hall.
He sighed, this was all he could do today. He really wanted to catch a few of those officials who were clearly humans but secretly beasts.
Because what these girls are complaining about are extremely perverted behaviors, normal officials and prostitutes, they are even grateful, because it means that they can live a less painful and miserable life today.
For example, Xiao Feng had never heard the name of his father-in-law Liu Tong mentioned by the girls, and it was obviously on the thank you list.
Yes, Xiao Feng knew that Liu Tong had been to Baihua Tower, and Xiao Feng even suspected that his mother-in-law might also know. After all, Liu Tong bought oranges more times than what was recorded in Chunyan Tower.
"Secretary, write down the testimony and have these witnesses sign and deposit it. The evidence in this case is irrefutable and cannot be denied. My decision is as follows.
Niu San, a businessman, prostitutes himself from a good family. His methods are cruel and merciless, and he kills people. It is understandable that he committed the crime in Baihualou..."
The fat businessman was overjoyed, thinking that the most he heard from this would be hard labor and exile. Naturally, this type of punishment could be dealt with gradually with money. He had nothing else but money!
"It is specially allowed to keep his whole body for easy burial!"
The fat businessman Niu Sanyi sat down on the ground. Since he was facing death, he did not hesitate to do anything.
"Xiao Feng, you bastard! Do you know who I am? I am the godson of the chieftain of Miaojiang! If you dare to kill me, the chieftain will not spare you!"
Xiao Feng's heart moved, and Jiajing in the back hall also moved in his heart.
Dong Dong, the great chieftain of Miao territory, this identity is indeed worthy of shouting.
Although Miao territory is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, many chieftains occupy hundreds of thousands of mountains. It is actually a country within a country, and its relationship with the Ming Dynasty is also very subtle.
Therefore, it is best for people from Miao territory not to show their faces when they arrive in the capital of Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, although there will be no danger, many activities will definitely be monitored.
This Niu San has been active in the capital many times, and this time he came with a purpose. If it weren't for this critical moment of life and death, he would not reveal his identity.
Yan Shifan in the back hall was also shocked, but he knew that the White Lotus Sect had a close relationship with Miao Jiang.
Since Niu San has been to Baihualou many times, there must be some contact between him and the secret envoy. But I wonder if Niu San knows about his relationship with the emissary?
Jiajing coughed lightly, Lu Bing understood and winked, two guards in golden clothes came up and dragged Niu San down to the hall.
Xiao Feng paused for a moment, but finally did not stop him. He turned to Hua Nu and his tone was particularly cold.
"Hua Nu, you forced young women into prostitution and killed countless people. According to your confession, the police are already digging dry wells in your Baihua Building to search for corpses. Do you have anything to say?"
Hua Nu's face turned pale, but his eyes became more vicious. His face, which was clearly as beautiful as a flower, now looked like a beautiful snake.
"Sir, no matter what you say, it's all your fault. So what if there are bones in my dry well? Which brothel doesn't kill people?
Do you dare to say that no one died in Chunyan Tower? These are all girls who sold themselves to death. When they die, whether I bury them in their graves or erect monuments, or throw them into a dry well, no outsider has the right to interfere!
After all, isn't it just relying on your ability as a thief?
, stole the deed of sale of my Baihualou, can you frame me like this?
Sir, please don’t forget, even if the girls I bought directly no longer have their bonds of prostitution, what about the girls from the Jiaofang Department?
They were bought from the Jiaofang Division. Although the deed of sale was returned to Baihua Building, it was recorded in the Jiaofang Division! Those records can prove the existence of the deed of sale! "
After saying that, Hua Nu looked at the girls viciously, and those girls turned pale with fear. Hua Nu laughed loudly.
"Just now you guys dared to join in the booing and accuse me of my crimes. I won't survive today, but your lives still belong to Baihualou!
I'm waiting for you in the underworld to see if you still have human form when you come down, hahahahaha! "
