Pang Ming only panicked for a moment, then calmly said: "These women have good relations with Huang Manxiang, so they will naturally speak for her."
Lu Huaiying said deliberately: "I want to ask you, but Huang Manxiang's improved loom was taken away by you to the Brocade Weaving Institute?"
Pang Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he said wisely: "This... I bought all this from her!"
Lu Huaiying seized the opportunity: "So, you really want Huang Manxiang's loom?"
Pang Ming said anxiously: "It's just a deal between you and me!"
Lu Huaiying then cross-examined: "Since it is a transaction, is there a receipt?"
Pang Ming stammered: "At that time... I only gave money, no bills..."
Huang Manxiang finally couldn't listen anymore: "You're talking nonsense! If you don't allow me to teach the loom and skills to others, how can I sell the loom to you!"
Pang Ming's eyes were filled with disdain: "Why else? I just want money."
Huang Manxiang sighed: "When you saw that I refused to sell my loom and skills to you, you kidnapped me and imprisoned me, and sent people to beat me every day."
"The man's name is Fang Tai, and he has a big black mole on his nose. I remember it clearly!"
Lu Huaiying immediately ordered: "Someone, bring Fang Tai up!"
After a while, the yamen officer escorted a man who looked like a young boy up, and saw that he really had a big black mole on his nose.
Fang Tai's psychological quality is obviously not as good as that of the director of Brocade Academy.
When he was taken to court, he was already shaking with fear.
Pang Ming quickly gave Fang Tai a wink secretly.
Lu Huaiying took the shot and asked in a loud voice: "Fang Tai, were you ordered by Pang Ming to beat Huang Manxiang every day to force her to hand over her textile skills?"
Fang Tai trembled and said: "Replying to your lord, I don't know Huang Manxiang, and I have never beaten anyone severely..."
Huang Manxiang rushed over, grabbed his arm, and asked sternly: "Then where did the bite mark on your hand come from?!"
Fang Tai pushed her away reflexively, and then covered his hand.
Huang Manxiang said to Lu Huaiying: "Sir, this Fang Tai wanted to cheat on a common woman, and the common woman bit him on the hand! The bite marks match the common woman's teeth marks!"
Fang Tai blurted out: "Nonsense! You are my concubine, how could I..."
Halfway through the words, Fang Tai realized that he had made a mistake and stopped talking.
However, Lu Huaiying was aware of it and said, "Didn't you just say that you don't know Huang Manxiang?"
Pang Ming also stared at Fang Tai angrily.
This idiot can't speak his mind!
Fang Tai saw Pang Pangren's ugly face and knew that he had gotten into a big trouble, so he hurriedly said: "I heard that..."
How could there be such ignorance!
Pang Ming gritted his teeth when he heard this and wanted to sew Fang Tai's mouth shut!
Doesn't this sentence admit that his relationship with Huang Manxiang is not as simple as buying and selling looms?
Lu Huaiying shouted: "It's full of nonsense! Someone, please take rubbings of Huang Manxiang's tooth marks and the bite marks on Fang Tai's hand, and I will compare them!"
Immediately, a government servant went to rub Huang Manxiang's teeth marks.
Next, when the yamen went to prepare to rub the bite marks on Fangtai's hand, he refused to show them his hand.
One of them held him down, the other grabbed his hand, and rubbed the bite marks on his hand.
After a while, the officer handed the two pieces of paper to Lu Huaiying.
Lu Huaiying compared them and found that the two marks really matched.
He said sharply: "Fang Tai! The marks on your hands were caused by Huang Manxiang's bite. How should you explain this?"
Fang Tai hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.
During this period, he secretly looked at Pang Ming, hoping to get a hint.
However, Pang Ming was already too angry to bother hinting at him.
Lu Huaiying shouted loudly: "Fang Tai, if you don't tell the truth, I will be sentenced to death!"
Fang Tai was a weakling. As soon as he heard that Jing Zhaoyin was going to punish him and Panda couldn't rely on him, he did everything.
He explained: "The younger one was ordered by Panda to whip Huang Manxiang every day so that she could teach her textile techniques..."
At the end, Fang Tai added dryly: "Sir, everything is not done by the small one! It's all ordered by the big man..."
Pang Ming was so angry that he was dizzy: "Fang Tai, you bastard! How dare you slander me, see if I don't kill you..."
Lu Huaiying knocked on the gavel and said coldly: "Quiet!"
He said to the director of Zhijinyuan: "Pang Ming, now that all the witnesses and material evidence are available, what else do you have to say?"
Pang Ming argued: "It's all fake! You all joined forces to slander me..."
Lu Huaiying said solemnly: "Pang Ming, because you coveted Huang Manxiang's improved looms and textile techniques, you took her to your house by force in the name of taking a concubine, and privately imprisoned her and beat her severely."
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, I will sentence you to a hundred canes and an additional three years in prison!"
Pang Ming was panicked at first, and then became confident again: "Lu Huaiying, my sister is the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and my niece is the second prince's concubine. How dare you execute me?"
Lu Huaiying was speechless.
This Pang Ming has such a bad brain, he doesn’t know how he became the sixth-grade chief of Zhijin Academy!
Oh, yes, it's because he has a backstage.
But Pang Ming didn't ask the backend to operate it privately. Instead, he exposed this matter in broad daylight. He was simply mentally ill!
To show his fairness, Lu Huaiying immediately sentenced him more resolutely: "Come here! Execution immediately!"
They were all escorted to the torture bench by the yamen, and Pang Ming was still there saying arrogantly: "If you really dare to hit me, believe it or not, I will make you lose this black gauze hat..."
Lu Huaiying laughed angrily: "This person dares to threaten the imperial officials and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. Give me a severe beating!"
Hearing this, the two government officials took the torture sticks and began to beat Pang Ming alternately.
Pang Ming had never suffered like this before. He was so painful that he broke into cold sweat and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Seeing that Lu Huaiying was serious, he had to beg for mercy: "Oh! It hurts me to death... Why did you really hit me... Stop hitting me! Don't hit me..."
Seeing his miserable condition, Huang Manxiang and several women who were watching all let out a bad breath.
This unscrupulous bastard is finally punished!
Fang Tai looked shaky on the side.
It’s over! It's all over!
With all the adults in his family beaten like this, his fate will not be much better...
Outside Jingzhao Mansion, in a sedan chair not far away.
Because she wanted to avoid suspicion, Chu Siqing did not go to the court with her mother and concubine to watch the trial of Jing Zhaoyin, but only waited outside.
But before the trial, she gave Huang Manxiang an idea.
Now listening to this news, it really works!
Chu Siqing gloated to her mother and said, "Concubine, did you hear that? It must have been the head of Zhijinyuan who screamed out while being tortured with a stick..."
Princess Yu said: "He deserves this."
Chu Siqing nodded, feeling extremely happy.
