It was impossible for Lu Bing to bully Yan Shifan in person in order to protect Yan Shifan, not to mention that this matter was not a big deal. He nodded immediately and told the truth.
"At that time, Shen Lian had some problems with the Yan Mansion because of the Gaoliang case. It happened that Yu Dayou wanted to go to the Yan Mansion but had no way, so he wanted me to introduce him.
I took Shen Lian with me by the way. I had no other intention. I just wanted to ease the relationship between Shen Lian and Yan Mansion.
It's just that Shen Lian has an aloof personality, and there are indeed scenes where he toasts instead of drinking. As for what happened to the girl who was toasting, I really don’t know.
Long live if you want to know the truth of what follows, Mr. Zhang happens to be here.
Baihua Building is a property managed by Dongchang. If you have ever bought such a beautiful disabled girl, you may have an impression. "
Jiajing didn't ask about it first, but looked at Lu Bing: "Since you brought the golden tiger bone wine, don't tell me that you didn't see it either."
Lu Bing's tone was calm and he didn't care: "I heard Yu Dayou said this. He borrowed the money from Hu Zongxian. Hu Zongxian was born in a wealthy family in Anhui and has a rich family fortune. He has always been very generous."
Jiajing snorted and turned to look at Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Yuan, do you have any impression of what Lu Bing said just now?"
Zhang Yuan looked at Yan Song and then at Jiajing, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Long live, although Baihua Building is under the jurisdiction of Dongchang, the slaves have many things to do, and they really rarely care about these details, and they are all taken care of by the flower slaves.
Later, Master Xiao solved the Baihualou murder case, and the slaves learned that Huanu, that bitch, was crazy and had done many evil things. I really don't know this. "
Xiao Feng nodded: "This is easy to handle. When Hua Nu was tried, in order to prove that all her girls had prostitution contracts, she submitted her own accounts to Shuntian Mansion for verification. Look back to see if there is such a thing in the accounts. Just one transaction and you’ll know.”
Jiajing nodded. In fact, whether it was golden tiger bones or maiming a maid, Jiajing didn't care about these small things.
But the details Rouge Leopard said were related to the authenticity of her other testimony, so Jiajing made an exception and asked.
Looking at Yan Shifan's expression and Lu Bing's verification, we knew that what Rouge Leopard said was true. Naturally, Rouge Leopard's statement that he had met Yu Dayou here was also true.
Lu Bing pondered for a moment and looked at Rouge Leopard: "Except for this time, have you never seen Yu Dayou again?"
Rouge Leopard shook his head firmly: "I've never seen him again."
Lu Bingdao: "You just said that after seeing this, you felt that things were different and you were disappointed in Yu Dayou, but why?"
Rouge Leopard curled his lips: "Yu Dayou, whom I liked back then, was a heroic figure in the world. He was famous all over the world and his chivalry was so great. Who in the world would not be in awe of him?
But the Yu Dayou I saw that day was humble and cautious in front of his master. How could he have any sense of manliness? How could I not be so disappointed? "
Jiajing's face turned even darker. Although he knew that military officers had always been inferior to civilian officials in the Ming Dynasty, Yu Dayou, who had great military exploits, was so groveling in front of Yan Shifan. This also shows that Yan Shifan used his father's authority as chief minister to manipulate power and make money!
At the same time, Jiajing also felt a sense of pride: Look, it has to be me. I have known for a long time that a single family cannot be the only one, so I support my junior brother and the Yan family in decentralizing power. I am truly the hero!
After all, Lu Bing was the chief judge of this case. Seeing that Xiao Feng and Yan Shifan were silent for a while, he had to continue the trial.
"Since you said you didn't betray your master because of Yu Dayou, what was your identity when you met Xiao Feng in the Tatar camp, and how did Yan Shaoqing explain to you?"
As soon as he asked this question, Yan Shifan turned pale and looked at Rouge Leopard in horror.
Yan Shifan's fear is easy to understand. The Rouge sisters all knew about his collusion with the White Lotus Sect and the Tatars. If Rouge Leopard revealed everything at this time, wouldn't he be doomed?
Seeing Yan Shifan's expression at this time, Rouge Leopard really felt that this was what he thought. Since he is so scared, I should tell him!
But at the critical moment, Xiao Feng coughed weakly, and Rouge Leopard immediately stopped his thoughts. No matter what, you must act according to Xiao Feng's words and not ruin the plan!
"Master Lu, the master said that he has some secret business dealings with the Tatars, and asked me to take the opportunity to see the Tatars' situation and come back to tell him the news.
So I went to the Tatar camp in the name of a black market business partner. They were quite polite to me. It happened that Mr. Xiao was captured, and I met Mr. Xiao. "
Yan Shifan's frightened expression disappeared miraculously like he was acting.
He looked at Rouge Leopard in disbelief, and Rouge Leopard actually saw great shock and disappointment in his eyes!
He is actually disappointed! What is he disappointed about? Are you disappointed that I didn't expose his collusion with the White Lotus Sect? Are you disappointed that I didn’t expose his collusion with the Tatars? How is this possible?
Rouge Leopard's eyes suddenly lit up, she understood! Just now, Yan Shifan kept silent and let Lu Bing take over the questioning. This was a clever trick to win from defeat!
This is the reason why Xiao Feng repeatedly told him that if he comes to Jiajing, he should only talk about this time.
If the White Lotus and the Tatars are involved, according to black market trading, don't say too much, otherwise it will be counterproductive!
There are two reasons here. The first is that the Ming Dynasty was extremely taboo about using slaves to sue their masters. Even if it was a serious crime of treason, if a slave sued his master, the slave would be beaten to death after the master was punished!
This strange rule was not unique to the Ming Dynasty, but existed throughout almost the entire feudal society. However, different dynasties have different severity of execution.
For example, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, slaves sued their masters for different crimes, and the slaves had to bear corresponding punishments ranging from beating with a board to beheading.
Even when Yongzheng died in the Qing Dynasty and Qianlong issued a general amnesty to the world, he deliberately added several "unpardonable" crimes to the amnesty decree.
These include: conspiracy and rebellion, descendants killing their fathers and ancestors, wives and concubines killing their husbands and suing their husbands, slaves killing their masters and suing their masters, killing three or more people, harvesting and cutting, killing with murder, killing with poison, evil spirits, poison, bandits, evil words, ten Evil and other sins will not be forgiven.
Reporting a slave against his master can actually be ranked alongside these crimes as one of the top crimes that "will not be pardoned"!
Many people may not understand why the feudal rulers were so afraid of suing their masters from slaves.
Because the core of the rule of feudal society is that class is as big as the sky. The official class and the non-official class are completely two different worlds. Master and servant are also people in two worlds.
This concept must be deeply rooted in people's hearts, so that people can naturally think that emperors and officials are people from two worlds and are not the same species at all.
Moreover, everyone has secrets. As the person with whom the master has the most contact, a slave can sue the master if he knows some secrets. Wouldn't the master be threatened?
If the servants disobey their masters, then the officials will disobey the emperor. Will the world be in chaos?
Besides, the emperor has royal guards, officials at all levels, and patrols. What crime can't be found out in the end, and you have to rely on your slaves to expose it?
Therefore, under this kind of culture and concept, not only is it a serious crime for a slave to accuse his master, but many reports from slaves are directly regarded as invalid evidence and will not be accepted!
Since Yan Shifan already believed that the Rouge sisters had been bribed by Xiao Feng, and that the two sisters knew too much about his secrets, what he hoped most was that Rouge Bao would tell them all in front of the emperor at this time!
That is to sue the Lord as a slave! Not only will Rouge Leopard not survive, but all her testimony will also raise doubts about the authenticity.
Sister Rouge herself has no evidence. If her testimony is doubted again, she will no longer be able to threaten herself!
The second reason is that Xiao Feng knows that Yan Shifan also knows Jiajing's consistent thinking.
When two parties are at odds, if one party impeaches the other party, it must have real evidence.
If it is empty talk, then the more serious and outrageous the accusation is, the more he will feel that it is a partisan dispute and that it is most likely a false accusation.
In order to bring down Xia Yan, Yan Song had ready-made evidence of Xia Yan's arrogance and extravagance. Yan Song spent a lot of energy to fabricate the rest of the evidence to convince Jiajing that it was true.
Moreover, Xia Yan had completely offended Jiajing at that time, and Jiajing was willing to kill Xia Yan in his heart, so the matter succeeded.
Think about why the two groups, Xiao Feng and Yan Dang, have been fighting openly and covertly for so long, but they have never been able to do anything to each other. It is because there is no irrefutable evidence to prove An Gui's charges.
Yan Shifan even hoped that Rouge Leopard would be as harsh as possible!
It would be better to say that you are colluding with the White Lotus Sect, colluding with the Tatars, colluding with Japanese pirates, colluding with pirates, or even saying that you are raising private soldiers and preparing to revolt in Beijing.
The more outrageous and serious what she said today, the less likely it will be accepted because Xiao Feng has no evidence!
And Yan Shifan was completely cleared. From now on, if anyone accuses Yan Shifan of the same crime, Jiajing will not believe it even if there is some weak evidence.
But such an excellent opportunity to turn defeat into victory was discovered by Rouge Leopard! She shouldn't be so smart!
She did not accuse Yan Shifan of any crime, but answered Lu Bing honestly, saying that her master had business dealings with Tatars.
He even took the initiative to defend Yan Shifan, saying that he would go back and report to Yan Shifan after learning the situation.
This cannot be regarded as a slave suing his master in any way, but it calmly told everyone that Yan Shifan and the Tatars were secretly doing business, a black market business!
Although this is not a heinous crime, Jiajing, who already hates Yan Shifan, will definitely hate him even more, and this disgust will eventually continue to wear away Yan Song's health bar.
The most ridiculous thing is that Yan Shifan still can't refute Rouge Leopard. Because he said before that he sent Rouge Leopard to spy on the Tatars, and the situation was exactly consistent with what Rouge Leopard said.
To be honest, even Yan Shifan himself couldn't think of any better reason besides black market transactions.
If you don't admit such a logical reason and make up a less reasonable reason, you will only make the situation worse!
So when Lu Bing looked at Yan Shifan, Yan Shifan's heart was bleeding, but he had to pretend to be calm and nodded on his face.
"Master Lu, you know me. Our Yan family is not short of money from black market business. It is just to provide the imperial court with an additional channel to inquire about information."
Lu Bing was noncommittal. Anyway, you haven't given me a message, but if you don't ask, I will definitely not talk about it.
"Rouge Leopard, what did your two sisters do last night, and why are you the only one left at this time? Let's get real!"
Rouge Leopard became smarter after having the critical experience just now. She looked at Lu Bing in fear, shrunk slightly, and trembled just right.
"Master Lu, if you ask me a question, I have to answer it, but if I tell the truth, I will be suspected of suing my master as a slave.
It's about death. I might as well not say anything, so as not to be accused of betraying the Lord. Please give me a break.
I just ask the master, for the sake of my silence, if my sister is still alive, please let my sister live! "
Yan Shifan was so angry that he fell out of the car and kowtowed to Jiajing.
"Long live, long live! It's a misfortune for my family, Yan Mansion, to have such a cunning slave! Long live the warning, long live the clear warning!"
Jiajing glanced at Yan Shifan and said calmly: "She won't say anything, so just say she is a unruly slave. It is too difficult to be a slave of your Yan Mansion."
Yan Shifan was agitated and knew that Jiajing's dissatisfaction with him had reached the extreme, so he cried quickly.
"Long live, long live here today. It is my blessing to see thousands of miles away and listen to this case personally.
I beg you, long live it, let her say, don’t use slaves to sue the Lord, and don’t dare to speak out. She is killing people without using a knife, long live it! "
Yan Song also knelt down, crying and looking ten years older. He knew that whatever he said at this time was nonsense, it all depended on what Jiajing thought.
Jiajing looked at Yan Song, finally feeling a little unbearable, and nodded lightly.
"Lu Bing, keep asking. Huang Jin, ask someone to help Chief Yan get up and return to his seat. Yan Shifan, please get up too."
Huang Jin did not call anyone, but came down personally to help Yan Song back to his seat. But this time Yan Shifan was very embarrassed.
Because Jiajing didn't ask Yan Shifan to get up and take his seat. In fact, Jiajing didn't give Yan Shifan a seat in the first place! But Jiajing granted Yan Shifan a life again!
Yan Shifan definitely didn't dare to lie down anymore, otherwise he would be disobeying the order!
The emperor asked you to lie down, but you continued to lie down. Why do you have such a big opinion against the emperor? Do you want to remonstrate to death?
But he didn't dare to climb back on the car, because the emperor didn't ask you to take your seat, so you took your seat on your own. After all, you didn't need anyone to give in, right?
So Yan Shifan had only one choice left. He pushed himself up and sat down on the ground.
All the officials in the court looked at Yan Shifan secretly, feeling that the years they had lived before were still too short, but today they finally lived a long time.
Over the years, I have seen people kneeling, people lying down, and people standing, but I have never seen anyone sitting on the ground during a court meeting...
Yan Shifan's face turned blue and red, then white, and he felt that this was the saddest and most embarrassing moment in his life.
Jiajing was actually stunned for a moment. He didn't mean to humiliate Yan Shifan, he just simply forgot that he had no legs in his anger.
However, Yan Shifan had already sat down at this time, and it would be too deliberate to ask him to return to his seat. He simply ignored his mistake and ignored him. He nodded to Lu Bing and signaled to continue.
Lu Bing looked at Yan Shifan who was just a short distance away on the ground. He endured the amusement in his heart and continued the interrogation in a calm tone.
"Rouge Leopard, Yan Shaoqing has asked Long Live for an order. As long as you tell the truth about what happened that night, it won't be considered a slave suing the master. Just say it."
Rouge Leopard then touched his tears and spoke timidly. The movement of wiping tears made even Jiajing's eyes straighten and he quickly closed them slightly.
"Master Hui Lu, around the second watch yesterday, the master suddenly called for my sister and me and asked us to go out urgently.
The master said that Xiao Feng had found out the details of the servant who had complained, and he also suspected that the servant had never been to the Wise Temple before. Moreover, he heard that Xiao Feng was going to petition Long Live for an overnight interrogation!
The master said that my sister and I should divide our forces into two groups. My sister would go to the Punishment Department to kill the servants, and I would go to the Imperial Prison to rescue Xiaodong. My sister and I were both frightened at that time.
Although he has done some killings under his master over the years, after all, those are tasks that can be accomplished, and these two tasks are simply impossible. "
Lu Bing nodded: "Under normal circumstances, with the skills of your two sisters, let alone the imperial prison, even the Ministry of Punishment, you can't do it alone."
Rouge Leopard said aggrievedly: "That's right. My sister said that Zhan Feiyun's kung fu is probably better than hers, and there is still some hope for us to join the Criminal Department together.
As for the imperial prison, the Jinyi guards who guard it are highly skilled in martial arts, and next door is Beizhen Fusi. There are four or five people on duty at night all year round. They can come over with just a greeting, so it is really difficult to start.
The owner gave us two bunches of incense, saying that he got it from the Ministry of Punishment. It was the unique secret recipe of a flower-picking thief, and it was confiscated by the Ministry of Punishment.
The owner said that one stick of this incense can make ordinary people feel weak. Because we have to deal with the Criminal Department and Jin Yiwei, we need to bring enough. "
Everyone looked at Liutai in unison, and Liutai was greatly frightened: What the hell are you looking at me for? I really didn’t give it to Yan Shifan!
Even Jiajing looked at Liutai: There is no need to ask about this. If it is true, it must be you who gave it to Yan Shifan.
In the entire Criminal Department, only you and Zhang Juzheng are qualified to present the confiscated evidence. If not you, could it be Zhang Juzheng? He has a hard time dealing with Yan Mansion!
Liutai naturally saw Jiajing's eyes, but he couldn't tell.
Because Jiajing didn't ask anything, he jumped out to cry for injustice at this time, and he was definitely suspected of not having three hundred taels of silver here!
Liu Tai did not dare to cry out for injustice, while Yan Shifan was sitting on the ground and already started to cry out.
"Long live this, this is pure nonsense, there was absolutely nothing like this last night!
Her sister obviously went to Luoma Lane to have fun with her young husband, but she stayed in the house all the time. These are all unfounded things! "
Jiajing said coldly: "Yan Shifan, Lu Bing is interrogating the case at this time. If you have anything to say, he will naturally give you a chance to say it. Why are you anxious?"
Yan Shifan immediately shut up and looked at Rouge Leopard helplessly, wondering what other fatal words would come out of her sexy red lips.
