"Miss, there is a group of people gathered outside... They are going to destroy our Gu family."
The doorman ran into Yu Jinxi's yard and crawled, speaking in panic.
Bi Cao's face changed greatly, "What are they doing around us?"
The boy said, "The curse words they used seem to be related to the woman who beat the drum this morning to complain. The one who caused her husband to die unjustly...is our Gu family...Mrs. Gu."
"There is no Mrs. Gu here..."
Bi Cao lost her words mid-sentence. She always followed Qing Ti and called her miss, but for a moment she forgot that Mrs. Gu of the Gu family was Yu Jinxi, wasn't she?
Bi Cao looked at Yu Jinxi in shock, "Miss, have you been framed? Are you that bastard Gu Qiheng?"
Yu Jinxi did not answer her words, but asked calmly, "What time is it?"
Qingti replied, "Miss, it's already time to apply!"
Yu Jinxi looked in the direction of the door with a sneer on his lips, "It's time to announce, why haven't they shown up yet?"
The woman went to complain in the morning, and it's already the afternoon, and she still hasn't decided to resolve it?
There was heavy snow in the sky, and all the people in the capital were kneeling.
Bi Cao didn't understand what Yu Jinxi was talking about, and when Qingti didn't say anything, she didn't dare to say anything anymore.
The yard became very quiet for a moment, except for the howling wind, there was no other sound.
Not long after the boy sent the message, someone from the Gu family came again.
This time, it was someone from the palace.
Not only was there a clear edict, but there were also guards accompanying him.
The father-in-law not only invited her to the palace, but also invited Gu Qiheng to the palace.
Gu Qiheng was still injured, but the palace meant that even if he had only one breath left, he would have to be carried into the palace.
Yu Jinxi personally took his father-in-law to Gu Qiheng's room. When he opened the door, a strange smell filled the room.
The father-in-law who came from the palace had never seen anything before. With a frown, he knew what happened in this room.
Walking further inside, Gu Qiheng was sleeping on the bed, and Yinniang was kneeling beside her. Her clothes were messy, and there were vague red marks on her neck.
Yu Jinxi asked, "What's wrong, sir?"
Yinniang said in a weak voice, "I took medicine... and fell asleep. I'm afraid I won't wake up in a while."
Yu Jinxi didn't speak again and looked at his father-in-law beside him, letting him make the decision.
A flash of disgust flashed in the father-in-law's eyes, and he no longer insisted on letting Gu Qiheng enter the palace.
Yu Jinxi was wearing regular clothes. As his father-in-law went out, the people at the door started to curse again when they saw someone coming out of the house, throwing dirty and smelly things at Yu Jinxi.
No matter how much Qingti protected her, it was useless, Yu Jinxi was also stained with dirt.
After a difficult journey into the palace, Yu Jinxi finally entered the palace before dark.
The woman who complained was not qualified to enter the Jinluan Palace, so she knelt on the street outside the palace.
The high-ranking man in power was sitting on the platform, winding down from the platform, with hundreds of glazed lamps lit. The lights were bright, and Yu Jinxi could clearly see the lines on the bluestone slab where he was kneeling.
On both sides of her, stood many officials, including the eldest prince and the second prince.
When Yu Jinxi knelt down, the complaining woman pointed at her and accused her of being a murderer.
Yu Jinxi's face didn't change, he just said that he was wronged.
"My husband, Zhang Cheng, runs a silk and satin shop for you. This is known to everyone. It was you who accused him of corruption and sent him to jail. However, he died suddenly before trial. It was you who had him poisoned!"
The woman who complained was Zhang Cheng's widow. She pointed at Yu Jinxi with red eyes and wished she could eat her alive.
Yu Jinxi ignored her gaze and said calmly, "Zhang Cheng did work for me, but it is true that he was corrupt. It was reasonable and reasonable for me to send him to the official. All the evidence was filed in the government office. As for saying that I sent someone to poison him to death He is just talking nonsense."
"Is there any place in the Yamen that no one can enter? If you have any doubts about the cause of Zhang Cheng's death, you only need to bring the jailer who arrested the Yamen head for questioning and you will know."
When he finished speaking, someone applauded.
Yu Jinxi raised his eyes and saw that it was the second prince with a sinister look on his face. He stared at Yu Jinxi, his eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, "Mrs. Gu is so good. If we want to find out, we have to bring the Yamen and the jailer." .”
After saying that, he snapped his fingers, and the Yamen head and jailer were brought in.
They were beaten so badly that they still had the strength to kneel down.
This is the method used in the palace, which makes people a hundred times more painful, but will not kill them.
They spit out that someone from the Gu family had indeed seen Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng died after they left.
Hearing this, the woman excitedly rushed towards Yu Jinxi. Although there were guards watching over her and pulling him away in time, Yu Jinxi was still caught with her hair messed up and a bloody mark on her face.
The second prince sneered coldly when he saw this, and asked someone to bring the person the jailer said was going to see Zhang Cheng.
The man's face was also beaten with bruises and swelling. After kneeling down next to Yu Jinxi, facing the second prince's questioning, he said Gu Qiheng's name with a look of fear on his face.
On the day Zhang Cheng died, it was Gu Qiheng who went to see him in person, but no one else.
The second prince's face changed slightly, and Yu Jinxi raised his eyes to look at him, a dark color flashing in his eyes.
In the eyes of the second prince, Gu Qiheng was already useless. What was the use of identifying him?
Now that the matter is so big, of course the only way to make the Yu family bow their heads is to identify Yu Jinxi.
When the incident first broke out, it was not that the palace was unaware of it, and it was not unable to suppress it. It was the second prince who presented the evidence to the emperor. It was the second prince who, under the emperor's instruction, deliberately made the incident worse and wanted to drag Yu Jinxi into it. He identified her as the murderer and wanted to use her life to fill the people's anger.
But the Yu family was not someone to be trifled with. In order to avoid being criticized, this matter had to be done openly and above all, which gave her an opportunity to take advantage of.
The second prince thought that everything was omitted, but he didn't expect that she had already planned and followed the plan. The mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind, and now it was time for the drama to begin.
Yu Jinxi took out the paper from his sleeve and suddenly said loudly to the emperor on the platform, "Yu Jinxi, a civilian girl, sued the emperor for embezzling the dowries of civilian girls, framing people's crimes, and killing people and silenced them by Gu Qiheng, an official of the Ministry of Rites. I beg the emperor to serve the people." Women call the shots!”
As she said that, Yu Jinxi kowtowed heavily on the ground, making a snow nest in the thick snow, and her forehead was visibly bruised, "Back then, the emperor gave the top scholar Gu Qiheng a gift to marry a commoner girl. Since the marriage, Women of the common people abide by their maternal virtues, are filial to their mothers-in-law, serve their husbands, and take care of their young sons, but they cannot bear to think that Gu Qiheng has a foreign wife and his adopted son is his biological son."
"At the Jinluan Palace, he said that he was never married, but in fact he already had a wife. He betrayed his wife, deceived the emperor, and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. I hope the emperor will give you a clear warning and give justice to the daughter of the people."
After Yu Jinxi finished speaking, the street became silent.
After a moment, the second prince sneered, "Mrs. Gu, you are complaining that your father decided your marriage, isn't that bad?"
When the question came, Yu Jinxi immediately felt the changes in the eyes around him.
The emperor's favor is so great that even if he is given death, it is still a favor from the emperor.
If she dares to complain about the emperor, no truth will matter.
