After the court dispersed in the morning, Emperor Qi Wenjue left only a few ministers to review the case in the Jinluan Hall.
They include Chen Songan, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Prime Minister He, the leader of the powerful ministers, Jiang Xingwei, the governor of Dongchang, Zhaoyong General Zhou Yaolei, Zhaoyi General Song Wensheng and others...
After Mrs. Fu took the lead in saluting, she stood in the center of the hall, with a sneer in her eyes, and slashed at Fu Yunqing.
Fu Yunqing avoided the old lady's needle-piercing gaze, behaved dignifiedly and elegantly, walked into the magnificent, magnificent and solemn hall, and kowtowed with all manners.
"My maid, Fu Yunqing, comes to see Your Majesty."
Qi Wenjue pinched the root of his nose and raised his dragon robe slightly: "Daughter of the Fu family, do you know why your grandmother is suing you for beating the drum in front of the palace?"
Fu Yunqing said calmly: "My grandmother sued my daughter and accidentally hurt my cousin Xingye."
"Since you know it, do you know what crime you committed?" Qi Wenjue's tone was a bit colder.
If someone else were to be accused by a court woman, their legs would become weak even before they entered the Jinluan Palace. If they heard the emperor's question again, they would tremble with fear, confess their guilt and be executed.
But Fuyunqing is not.
I heard that this general's legitimate daughter followed the late God of War to kill enemies at the age of ten.
He also broke off the engagement to the ninth prince and killed his cheating stepmother.
Each and every one of them is astonishing and shocking, which is something that ordinary women cannot do.
How should she deal with being sued by her grandmother today?
The ministers looked at her.
Under several gazes, in the majestic hall, Fu Yunqing's voice was calm:
"My daughter is guilty of one crime. As the eldest daughter of the Fu family, she failed to educate her cousin well. As a result, the cousin raped and humiliated many women and caused great disaster."
"The second crime is that my father died in the battle, but he failed to protect his younger brother, which allowed my second uncle to take advantage of the situation and mixed the medicine with heartbroken grass. My younger brother almost died of poisoning."
"The third crime is that he failed to protect the family property left by his parents and allowed his second aunt to embezzle tens of thousands of taels, causing the family property to suffer losses."
As soon as this statement came out.
Even the officials who had seen the strong wind and waves were also in an uproar.
Qi Wenjue frowned even more.
Mrs. Fu tightened her grip on the crutches in her hands. Little did she know that Fu Yunqing was so eloquent that even though he claimed to be guilty, he always accused others.
Fu Yunqing's voice was a little sad, which made people feel a little worried: "The last crime was that when my cousin tried to rape and humiliate my maid Meev, I rescued her but left my cousin in the attic. Inside, he was set on fire by his second aunt and burned all over his body."
"Therefore, my cousin Xingye hated my daughter, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to chop me with a knife. I was afraid of hurting others and was trying to protect myself, so I took his knife and accidentally hurt him. .”
In her words, she told everything about what Erfang had done these days, and also explained the causes and consequences of Huan Fu Xing Ye very clearly.
Qi Wenjue didn't show anything on his face.
Mrs. Fu sighed, her voice choked with sobs, and she beat her chest sadly and said, "Your Majesty, Fu Yunqing is an eloquent speaker. I am old, so it is better for her to confuse right and wrong."
"She possesses martial arts skills. If she didn't want to hurt Xingye, she could just take his sword away. Why did she seriously hurt him? It can be seen that Fuyunqing had a murderous intention early on and was deliberately killing people! Please seek justice!"
"It was an accidental injury after seizing the sword." Fu Yunqing couldn't hold it back, sobbed softly, and pretended to be strong, "Ever since his father died in the war, the second uncle has been trying hard to seize the family property. My daughter and my brother are in the middle of the Fu Mansion. Survive. In the past, my second uncle poisoned and set fires, and later my cousin killed people with a knife..."
"My daughter's father served the country and the people all his life. Since he died heroically, a pair of orphans have been treated like this... If I had known that life would be so difficult, it would be better for my daughter and my younger brother to go with their father and mother to avoid having to live in this world." Being plotted and assassinated.”
When it comes to the latter part, Fu Yunqing cries with restraint.
The irritable Zhou Yaolei took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, we must not chill the hearts of all the soldiers! The general who ruled the country died in battle, and a pair of orphans were treated like this. The general and others are all soldiers. If one day they fight for the country, Death, thinking of the women and children at home, I am afraid of death without resting in peace!"
"I second the proposal." Confucian general Song Wensheng said, holding a wat tablet in his hand, "When Fu Ting forged a suicide note to seize Dafang's family property, I happened to be present. The old lady was selfish and partial. It is difficult for these two siblings."
"Even if Fu Xingye is wrong in raping the girl, Fu Yunqing should not have murderous intentions!" Concubine Yu's biological father, Chen Yushi, took a step forward and sternly criticized Fu Yunqing with a cold expression, "Fu Yunqing was seriously injured after grabbing the knife! Those who seriously injure others should be jailed and sentenced to three years!”
Mrs. Fu nodded and said: "Chen Yushi clearly distinguishes right from wrong and is very reasonable. However, the two generals used to follow Hexiao on the battlefield and wanted to protect Fuyun Qing. I can understand that, but in the face of the law, you two should not be emotional! "
Prime Minister He, who was stroking his beard at the side, said calmly and quietly: "Fu Xingye is guilty, the second wife is guilty, and Fu Yunqing is also guilty of hurting others."
Madam Fu hid a look of pride in her eyes, suppressed her emotions, and glanced at Fu Yunqing.
Tigers surrounded her, all eager for her death.
Fu Yunqing raised his eyes and met the old lady's calculating eyes. His eyes were calm. He took a step forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please grant permission to allow those present that day to come to the palace to testify for my daughter."
"Correct." Qi Wenjue said.
The next moment, Fu Ge was supporting the seriously injured Mei Fu, Grandma Fu was limping over holding Song Ying, and Tofu Xi Shi with a bandage on her shoulders...
The five women stood beside Fu Yunqing and knelt down together, saying in unison: "If your Majesty and your lords want to punish Miss Fu, why not punish us?"
There were tears in Fu Ge's eyes. Although he did not dare to face the Ninth Five-Year Master, he mustered up the courage and said loudly with a trembling voice:
"My sister used to protect me, and now it's my turn to protect her. My sister said that animals should live in the darkness, and victims should stand in the sunshine. There is no shame in standing in the sunshine."
"Folk girl Fu Ge is just a concubine who supports the prosperity of the industry."
"Song Ying, a folk girl, was helped to start a business last summer...raped and humiliated."
"Wang Xiaoqing, a civilian woman, made a living selling tofu in Dongshi. Her husband died in the Battle of Nanchi, and no body remains." Wang Xiaoqing held back her tears and said firmly, "That beast Fu Xingye took advantage of my husband to go out to fight. , raped and humiliated women of the common people many times..."
"Slave Mei Fu, when Fuxingye raped and humiliated slave, it was Fu girl who saved slave girl. That day, Fu Xingye came to kill the girl with a knife, but the slave girl was seriously injured. When the girl saw that slave girl was seriously injured, she grabbed the knife and accidentally injured Fu Xingye, slave girl. It can be used as proof that the girl definitely did not intend to kill anyone."
"What's wrong with a girl getting rid of harm for the people? A beast like Fu Xingye should have died. She is upright and kind, and it is she who gave us salvation."
"If Your Majesty really wants to punish the girl, I, despite my humble position, will be willing to take the punishment on my behalf." Mei Fu kowtowed heavily.
Fu Ge said: "People's girls are also willing to take the punishment on my sister's behalf."
"The same is true for civilian women!"
"If my lives can save the life of the girl, we are willing to take the punishment for the girl."
The whole hall was silent, even Qi Wenjue was a little surprised.
Mrs. Fu frowned even more, her eyes filled with resentment.
Several thin women knelt beside Fu Yunqing and united with her.
In fact, Fu Yunqing did not expect that the few women she had redeemed would treat her so sincerely.
