Kowtow to the emperor and introduce your name and where you are from.
Xu Houde knelt on the ground and testified: "On July 10, the villain saw Zhuang Xun being driven off the frame of a gorgeous car. He did not expect to do such a shameful thing. After the villain recognized the handwriting It is indeed Zhuang Xun’s.”
This sentence was full of loopholes, how could it be so coincidental, but before there was physical evidence of fingerprints, Zhuang Xun didn't know how to refute it for a while.
Angrily accusing the other party of falsely accusing you? Everyone knows it's a false accusation, but your fingerprints are on it and your name is also on it.
"After all, it is a family scandal that should not be publicized, but I didn't expect that Zhuang Xun would actually use this matter as a promotion. How could I let a thief occupy such a high position? Even if I expose my family scandal today, I want people to know that Zhuang Xun is a hypocrite. "Lu Buming was filled with indignation.
Zhuang Xun took a deep breath, Si Qinmi's teachings were in his ears, and he didn't feel sad or happy with anything else.
"If you steal someone's wife or concubine, they won't be beaten if they are found. It seems that everyone in the Zhenguo Palace is free to go." Zhuang Xun said with a chuckle.
Suddenly the entire banquet was filled with lively atmosphere.
"At that time, I wanted to protect the reputation of Duke Zhenguo. What would I do if I beat you and were discovered by others? Now, how can I let someone like you who deceives the world and steals fame be allowed to be in the court." Lu Buming said bravely, the truth or falsehood is not important. What's important at this moment is that he is on Yang Zuoxiang's team.
"That's quite interesting. I am a unruly man who stole the Duke's wife. When he was found out, he was not punished at all. He was even sent back by chartered car instead of being sent to a mass grave. It is said that the Duke's mansion is full of Bodhisattvas' hearts. It is indeed true. Duke Lu Guo is also a good man, and he can make such sacrifices for the reputation of the government. Now that Duke Zhen Guo's wife has been humiliated, does Duke Zhen Guo have to let her go?" Zhuang Xun didn't bother with the confession, he knew that he would never be able to make it clear on it.
This is all evidence. It would be too stupid for the other party to fall into his trap after he has clearly framed you.
The emperor laughed after hearing this. Zhuang Xun's words were so insulting that they made Lu Buming's face turn red. He felt very happy.
I had tasted the feeling of being betrayed by someone I trusted many times, but this was the first time I had seen a traitor blush like this.
Then, his expression turned worried again. Is it a good choice to insert Zhuang Xun into the household department?
Even nobles like Duke Zhenguo have turned to the Qingliu faction. Not counting this time, how many times can I protect him?
For a person to go to a world full of animals, wouldn't this push him into a pit of fire?
How was he going to crack this kind of fabrication that was made out of nothing? Just changing the subject could not hide that what the other party had obtained was evidence, names and fingerprints.
"Your name and fingerprints have been pressed, and you still dare to quibble! I personally saw you getting out of the car at the Zhenguo Palace." Xu Houde became anxious when he saw Lu Buming's appearance, and began to present facts and evidence, although they were all false. , his future and destiny all depend on this time.
"Zhenguofu's bicycle frame should be very gorgeous, right? Won't it attract other people's attention when it appears in Xufang? Just ask the neighbors on this date to know if there are any gorgeous bicycle frames in Xufang." Zhuang Xun shook his head and said, choosing See the loopholes in the other party's logic.
"What I saw with my own eyes could be false. Who knew at that late at night that this confession was not your fingerprints?" Xu Houde said, pointing to the confession.
Force Zhuang Xun to say yes or no.
You can't talk about anything else with Zhuang Xun. Everyone knows it's a frame-up. The more you talk, the bigger the problem will be. The problem now is how Zhuang Xun can explain that he didn't do this.
As long as Zhuang Xun answers yes or no, he is entering the trap set by the other party. Answering no means that the handwriting and fingerprints are his own, which is tantamount to lying in public. Answering yes is tantamount to admitting guilt.
"I didn't expect that Xu Houde would use me as a surrender certificate." He found other words to say without admitting the truth of the charges.
"Don't say that you have all these things. I am reporting you out of loyalty to His Majesty and to prevent hypocrites like you from entering the court." Xu Houde did not hide his resentment towards Zhuang Xun.
During the last rehearsal, Qian Xinzhao offered him an olive branch. He only considered it at first, but after Zhuang Xun rejected him, he approached Qian Xinzhao because Zhuang Xun was too selfish and would not introduce him even though he had the resources. , why should I help him?
"Yes, just tell me whether the name and fingerprints on this confession are yours." Lu Buming also reacted and bit on the only physical evidence.
Zhuang Xun froze. He only recognized the signature and fingerprints. It would not work if he didn't recognize anything else. As long as you said that the fingerprints were yours, you would have acknowledged the authenticity of the confession.
Isolated and helpless, the emperor is also waiting for his answer. Whether he admits it or not, the emperor will save his life, or deny it.
"If it is July 15th, the slave family will also testify." Shi Shiran walked out of the banquet.
The plump and pearly beauty looks like a moon goddess in a toad palace under the moonlight. The gorgeous decoration does not hide her grace.
"What kind of testimony does Mrs. Jiang want?" the emperor said with a frown.
Have the Qingliu people communicated with foreign countries?
No, Mrs. Jiang is Zhuang Xun's recommender and should be here to help Zhuang Xun.
Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.
"On July 10th, Zhuang Xiaolian was with the Nu family all night, so how could he show up at the Zhenguo Duke's mansion to steal incense and jade." He spoke with great enthusiasm.
"You guys stay together? One night?" Lu Buming said in disbelief, Xu Houde also seemed to have seen a ghost.
The eyes of all the civil and military officials were circling back and forth, sometimes on Zhuang Xun, and sometimes on the tall Jiang Xiannuo.
"When Xiaolian was poor, he was sorting out the accounts for the caravan under the slave family. We talked happily and sent Xiaolian home the next day." Jiang Xiannuo said nonchalantly.
The suggestive element in the sentence made everyone smile ambiguously, and of course there was also the regret of a flower stuck in cow dung.
"Impossible, I will send you that day..." Xu Houde swallowed back his words.
"Do you have any evidence to prove this?" The emperor looked at the two people who did not match in size and smiled slightly.
"Xiaolian, please take out the handkerchief from the slave family. In order to preserve Xiaolian's reputation, I have no choice but to do so." Jiang Xiannuo said apologetically.
As a practitioner, reputation is not important. This merit is actually earned. Zhuang Xun, who I learned from people like He Heng, is not a good person. He is simply a saint. This cannot be emphasized.
"Handkerchief, oh..." Zhuang Xun rummaged around in his cuffs. Today Si Qinmi asked, and he took the handkerchief and put it in his cuffs.
"The blue bird carries the wind in its mouth, and the beauty is full of tenderness, lingering and pathos, living up to the beauty's wishes."
There was a limerick on the back of the handkerchief, as well as his signature. Zhuang Xun's eyes widened. There was no such thing before.
It wasn't until the attendant came that Zhuang Xun reacted and handed over the handkerchief.
"Xiaolian, you are very sentimental. Today you are Mrs. Jiang, tomorrow you are the wife of the Duke's Mansion, and the day after tomorrow..." The emperor took the hand Juan and recited the verses on it softly.
Some female guests blushed upon hearing this, and the joking expressions of the male guests filled their cheeks even more.
Belonging to one gossip overshadows another. After all, the first gossip is already dead, and the other gossip is alive in front of you.
The body shape and appearance of both parties are not very suitable. While everyone is weird, there is also a sense of taboo.
"This thing is a forgery!" Xu Houde clearly remembered July 10, when the Ghost Festival was coming, so he invited Zhuang Xun to his home.
His mother said that Zhuang Xun lived alone, and during the Ghost Festival, he was afraid that ghosts would haunt him and ask him to come to his house. Some things delayed him. It was only dusk when he went, and Zhuang Xun had already fallen asleep.
How could I be so romantic with this Mrs. Jiang?
"Who should I believe in these two pieces of evidence?" The emperor handed the handkerchief to the attendant. He was relieved that it was not one-sided and required him to forcibly protect it.
He had forcibly bailed out many people, but the price was that these people's reputations were so bad that they fell into the ranks of corrupt officials. The same was true for Zhuang Xun. Forcibly bailing him out would mean acknowledging this matter, which would damage his reputation and make false accusations. And official certification are two different things.
"Your Majesty, there are fingerprints on the confession, and this one is true." Having reached this point, Lu Buming said bravely.
"The Nu family is good at copying and can also get fingerprints." Jiang Xiannuo covered her mouth and smiled.
"How do you get the fingerprints?" Xu Houde felt that things had exceeded his expectations.
"Please bring the red ink paper and the forged confession for the slave family to copy." Jiang Xiannuo requested.
"Prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones." The emperor was excited. This kind of excitement was rare.
Red ink and paper were brought up, as well as a square table and soft cushions for sitting on.
Jiang Xiannuo lightly combed her hair, showing so much tenderness that Zhuang Xun didn't understand or understand, but now he was very grateful for Jiang Xiannuo's protection.
A soft black hair, dipped in red ink, was swayed on the white paper, and a fingerprint had been formed. She also copied Zhuang Xun's name, then stood up with dignity, and handed over the confession and the two things she copied. Passed by the attendant.
"Excellent workmanship, exactly the same, circulated among the ministers." The emperor was greatly surprised. What kind of skillful hand was this to be so accurate?
"Xiao Lian used to be the accountant, and he did a lot of signatures and deposits. I'm sure someone would copy them like this." Jiang Xiannao's words denied the authenticity of the confession.
After all, you can fake fingerprints, but the authenticity needs to be verified.
"Since Zhuang Xun has an old relationship with you, why would you spend all your money on the funeral of Si Qin's daughter? Isn't it just a person who is just trying to gain fame and fame?" Xu Houde had a bright idea.
"Because there was a conflict. This man cannot be a son-in-law. He would rather marry an ugly wife than marry a slave. I originally wanted him to come to the slave family, but I didn't expect that he did it by himself." Jiang Xiannuo Take it easy.
"Mrs. Jiang is stunningly beautiful. The story of mother and daughter returning home after being released three times is certainly fake. Mother and daughter are not as good as you, Mrs. Jiang." Lu Buming was also trying his best to find loopholes.
"I didn't know Xiaolian at that time. It seems that the Duke has already acknowledged the relationship between us." Jiang Xiannuo's rank is not something that these people can compete with.
"I..." It was too late to regret, the words were already out of my mouth.
Since it is admitted that the two parties are connected, it is also true that they met for one night on July 10th.
It's like Zhuang Cun admitted that the name and fingerprints were written by him.
"What do you think, dear friends? Can Zhuang Xiaolian still be promoted as Zuo Shilang?" The emperor was satisfied with the result, with a smile on his lips.
The ministers were whispering to each other and discussing.
At this time, Li Sixian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said: "It is normal for a filial, honest, humble and gentleman to be liked by women. To avoid criticism, we should temporarily put aside the post of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs and recruit him to be appointed as a doctor to the Ministry of War."
As the emperor's loyal dog, it is not difficult to guess the emperor's thoughts. I know that the emperor has retreated and is looking for him under the stairs.
"Prime Minister Zhang, does Hebei Province lack a Jiedu Youshi?" the emperor asked.
"There is indeed a shortage, but Hebei Province borders Chengguo..." Prime Minister Zhang's meaning was obvious, he was afraid that Zhuang Xun would collaborate with the enemy and betray the country.
"No problem, it's just convenient for Zhuang Qing to meet the beautiful lady." The emperor said nonchalantly, considering that Zhuang Xuncheng was powerful in the country, so that he would not be bullied by the local wealthy family.
Besides, does Tongchengguo count? In this windy and treacherous country, no one has many options for escape.
If we really want to conduct a thorough investigation, the court will be paralyzed.
Zhang Xiang's expression looked like he had been burped. A hundred thousand taels of small money was nothing, and it was nothing if he couldn't get a sharp knife to stab the household department, but the official position had already been reserved.
"Draw up a document for me tomorrow." The emperor took a step back, and the Qingliu people became quiet now. Only Xu Houde looked anxious.
He didn't play his due role. After this incident, Zhuang Xun felt like an ant if he wanted to pinch himself to death.
"Your Majesty, we cannot allow such a hypocrite to be in a high position. His beautiful concubine with ten thousand taels of silver cannot be ignored because he is seeking fame and reputation. It is only with the help of Mrs. Jiang that he can look down on the ten thousand taels of silver. It is he who calls the villain Chuan He went out, and he deliberately married an ugly wife for comparison, just to cultivate his reputation and surpass his high position. Otherwise, why would he have been wandering around Goulan, having an affair with Mrs. Jiang, and having an affair with the daughter of the Si Qin family? He is a lustful person. "
He blew himself up. Seeing that Zhuang Xun was about to be appointed, he couldn't bear it anymore. He could drag Zhuang Xun into trouble, and he couldn't control so much anymore.
The emperor was so angry that he even gave in. Why didn't this man know what he was doing? The air dragon in the sky was roaring, which symbolized his bad mood at this moment.
For a moment, the banquet was in danger of falling into a low pressure.
Experienced people were surprised by Xu Houde's boldness. The emperor could kill people at will. After all, whoever could withstand the investigation was seeking death.
"Was it you who spread the news? Wang Yuanwai must hate you to death." Compared with the kind of slander just now, where there is indeed evidence, this kind of slander is too low-level.
"Eating and sex are also a matter of taste. I don't think it is a shame to like beauty. Everyone has a love for beauty. There is nothing wrong with liking beauty, but I also love virtue. How many dynasties finally perished because their kings were seduced by beauties. , I took my house wife because of her virtue."
"There are four virtues in asking a wife: a woman's virtue, a woman's words, a woman's appearance, and a woman's merits."
"Women's virtues: leisurely, chaste and quiet, lawful in movement and stillness, not jealous, very annoyed when hearing and rejecting a beautiful concubine, respecting the poor and humble, wearing linen, not silk."
"Women's words: good at speech, courteous and modest, inspiring people's aspirations, so that Mr. Accountant's inquiry will be willing to serve the country, well-read poetry and books, and make up for my shortcomings."
"Wife's appearance: Although my wife is ugly, she is diligent in grooming and bathing regularly. Her body is not stained and disgraceful, her manners are modest, and her body is simple."
"Women's Gong: Do you think the gorgeous clothes on your body are worth much? How can your poor family wear such beautiful clothes, which are sewn by my wife's needles and threads with all my heart and soul?"
"Take your husband as your face, regulate your husband's words, grow your husband's ambitions, and help your husband. Although the gods are unwilling to change, Xu Houde, you are in vain to study the books of sages and sages, and you use sex to attract people."
You can tolerate it if you attack me, but you can’t tolerate it if you attack my wife.
Even if Si Qin Mi is really disfigured, he doesn't care. Maybe he's not that sexy, but he doesn't like her as much as he likes her. He followed him from the netherworld, and the human heart is like flesh.
