Cheng Yuanyuan was indeed secretly sent to the capital.
Cheng Jingzhou guessed the other party's purpose almost without thinking.
Is this because he wants to use Cheng Yuanyuan's incident to suppress himself, and then severely defeat his father-in-law?
If he disposes of Cheng Yuanyuan privately, he is afraid that Cheng Yuanyuan's visit to Beijing to find his bride will be exposed, and he will even be sued for murder and so on.
This was a sure sign that there was a deadly feud between him and Cheng Yuanyuan!
If that's the case, then you might as well give it a try.
Two days later, someone actually read a copy of Cheng Jingzhou's book in front of the emperor. The content was probably about his disregard for human life.
Moreover, Cheng Jingzhou killed his own cousin!
As soon as these words came out, Manchao was shocked.
After all, Cheng Jingzhou had just been promoted recently, had a capable father-in-law, and was a top scholar himself. It was really strange that such a case suddenly appeared when his future was so bright.
Emperor Jingwen never liked people who harmed their siblings, so he asked solemnly: "Cheng Jingzhou, is this possible?"
Cheng Jingzhou came out of the queue and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I don't know where this royal censor heard the rumors. Wei Chen does have a cousin named Cheng Yuanyuan, but she was a few years ago. He was kicked out of the Cheng family not long ago, and he was killed in a sea of fire a few years ago. This case should be recorded in Gaoyang County, and I dare not deceive the Holy Emperor."
Emperor Jingwen was satisfied to see that he was calm and calm, and there was no panic in his eyes.
Someone else stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not a trivial matter. Since it involves human lives, it is best to find out clearly to avoid unjustly accusing Mr. Cheng."
Xie Xiuwen didn't need to look back, he knew who the person who stood up was just by hearing the voice.
He lowered his eyes and said nothing, not intending to get involved, just to see what this good son-in-law was capable of.
Cheng Jingzhou tilted his head and noticed that the person who wanted to push was actually Wang Ting, which was a bit surprising.
After all, this Wang Ting had previously made a fuss because he stopped his wife and remarried. Later, he was dismissed from his post and self-examined for more than half a year before he was reinstated, but his official position was demoted two levels.
And since he returned to the court, it was obvious that he was not favored by the Holy Emperor.
"Master Wang is right, we should indeed find out. Your Majesty, I don't understand, how can I be involved in a human life lawsuit just like this? I am also puzzled. This is really incomprehensible. Wonderful, if this matter is not investigated, who can guarantee that other adults will not be tricked like this in the future?"
This is as good as saying directly that he has been wronged, and there are courtiers who want to impeach him based on just a few rumors. Doesn't this shake people's hearts?
Emperor Jingwen frowned and looked at the censor who had just reported: "Do you have any evidence?"
The Censor was a little panicked: "Back to the Holy Spirit, I have no evidence, but a few days ago, a woman did come to the gate of the Cheng Mansion to recognize her kin. It was also true that someone saw this person being introduced into the manor, and then sent to the house overnight. Outside the city, no one has seen him since."
What he said was truly speechless.
Even Mr. Zheng Ge frowned, how could things be handled so roughly?
Emperor Jingwen was furious: "Nonsense! If you send someone outside the city, you are killing someone? Then tell me, who hasn't sent someone outside the city?"
At this time, everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, and they held a grudge against the censor.
Wang Ting received the hint and said again: "Your Majesty, the woman was burned to death the day after she was sent out of the city. There is a witness to this."
Cheng Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Sure enough, chess pieces had been placed around him a long time ago.
Just waiting to stab him.
"Where is Jing Zhaoyin?"
"Wei Chen is here."
"What do you have in mind?"
The governor of Jingzhao is all paralyzed, and they are all making trouble for nothing!
What would happen even if Cheng Jingzhou really executed someone? What if it's a servant in his house?
What a leisure time!
"Back to Your Majesty, first of all, the key is whether the woman that the adults just mentioned is Master Cheng's cousin."
Emperor Jingwen nodded, glanced over, and Cheng Jingzhou immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, my former cousin Cheng Yuanyuan died in an accident a few years ago. I dare not lie to Your Majesty about this matter. Moreover, Cheng Yuanyuan disrespected his elders and attempted to murder someone before. My biological mother was also mad at my grandmother. It was precisely because she repeatedly made big mistakes that she was finally kicked out of the Cheng family. However, she was kept in the Cheng family villa and was not allowed to live on the street. She got married and not long after that. He died in an accident."
The governor of Jingzhao understood: "In other words, that woman is not from the Cheng family?"
"It's true, but she was crazy at the time. One moment she said she was my cousin, and the next moment she said she was my fiancée." Cheng Jingzhou smiled bitterly: "Well, as long as a normal person listens to this, he should know that this is crazy talk, right?"
Everyone looked at each other, this was indeed true.
Can my cousin and fiancee still change at will?
This is indeed not normal.
Wang Ting said again: "Even if she is a crazy woman, Master Cheng can't take human life lightly, right?"
Cheng Jingzhou was helpless: "I placed that crazy woman in Zhuangzi, so I wanted to help her find her family first, and that night I went to Jingzhao Mansion Office to report the case, wanting to know which family the missing woman was from. No, then The woman went crazy in the village, not only beat and scolded my servants, but also accidentally threw the oil lamp, which caused the fire."
Wang Ting sneered: "Mr. Cheng is really a sharp talker. Everything you said is perfect. You said she is a mad woman or a crazy woman? You said she missed it because she missed it? In such a matter of life and death, it is up to you to His words are so contemptuous!"
Cheng Jingzhou sighed, seemingly speechless.
Jingzhao Yin did not say anything. Lord Shaoyin behind him stood up and said: "Master Qi, the night before yesterday, Master Cheng did come to Jingzhao Mansion and told the story about the crazy woman. At that time, he was a minister One of his subordinates was on duty and took notes. Afterwards, Wei Chen also sent someone to question the woman in person. Unfortunately, she was unconscious at the time, and her accent was a bit mixed. Sometimes she had a southern accent, and sometimes she sounded like an authentic Beijing accent. That’s why Wei Chen didn’t dare to tell who she was.”
Wang Ting was stunned. Did Cheng Jingzhou really go to the government office to report the crime?
This is the wrong direction!
Mr. Zheng Ge, who was standing in front, had already realized that something was wrong. Things had developed beyond their expectations.
We cannot dig deeper into this matter.
Otherwise, they will be the unlucky ones.
But at this time, Wang Ting didn't know what was wrong with him, so he took a hard stance.
"Ha, if I remember correctly, Xu Shaoyin is also a student of Chief Xu Shan, right? That means he and Mr. Xie are fellow disciples? No wonder. Is it too obvious that you defend Cheng Jingzhou like this?"
Xu Shaoyin was furious: "That's nonsense! I still have all the records there, and the procedures are reasonable and legal. If Mr. Wang forcibly accuses me, he must read the facts before speaking!"
