After the two female ladies of the academy, Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Xue, went into the stone garden to check the situation, they sent people outside the gate to call in all the waiting maids from each house, and asked them to help their ladies change.
After everyone's makeup and clothing were properly dressed, the two ladies led the ladies out of the stone garden.
There is an organization in Mingshan Academy called Mingchajian, which specializes in collecting evidence or hearing disputes arising in the academy. The person in charge is called Zhao Mingyi.
Zhao Mingyi was originally a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment of the Central Government. He was honest and upright. Later, he was suppressed by the powerful for handling cases impartially, which caused him to resign in frustration.
Zheng Gongpei cherished his talent and pitied his unfair experience, so he invited him to come to Mingshan Academy to be the director of Mingchajian.
After Shen Zhuo and others came out of the stone garden, they were taken directly into Ming Chajian.
There are about ten independent rooms of different sizes in Mingchajian, which are specially used for inquiries. Shen Zhuo and others were taken to different rooms, and Zhao Mingyi led the supervisor to personally question them one by one.
No matter how scheming Han Zhizhi is, how can they compare to Zhao Mingyi's sophistication? After just one round of questioning, things came to light.
The incident happened because Han Zhizhi fell in love with Kang Minghui, the second son of the Taifu family. Kang Minghui took good care of Han Mei because he was a good friend with Han Mei's elder brother Han Tao. Han Zhizhi was jealous of Han Mei.
Since Han Mei is now the third young lady of the Shen family, she does not dare to act rashly. It wasn't until Wei Qi returned to Kyoto that she incited Wei Qi to take action. As soon as Wei Qian heard that her favorite Prince Min had been seduced by Han Mei, she wished she could immediately step Han Mei into the mud so that she would never be able to succeed.
Han Zhizhi and Wei Qian hit it off, which led to today's bullying of Han Mei. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhuo accidentally broke into him, and it turned into a one-sided beating.
Zheng Gongpei's face darkened after reading the confessions of several people. This is a set of high-class inner residences brought to the college. She is jealous of men and uses dirty means to try to get the bad guy's innocence and reputation.
"Take my name card and invite the ladies from all the houses to come to the academy." Zheng Gongpei said in a deep voice.
When Princess Pingyang arrived with her guards, the eldest lady of Han Mansion and the head of Ziluo Palace, Grandma, had already arrived. A large group of people were sitting in the hall of Mingchajian.
Princess Pingyang entered the hall in a hurry and walked straight to Shen Zhuo and Han Mei. She pulled them and looked them up and down. Her beautiful eyes were so cold that it was scary.
"Auntie, I'm fine." Shen Zhuo comforted softly.
"Mom, I'm fine too." Han Mei also whispered softly.
But Han Mei's face was covered with scrapes of blood and bright purple bruises, and she didn't look like she was okay.
Princess Pingyang's face darkened visibly.
"Princess, please relax. The doctor from the academy has looked at several young ladies. They are all skin injuries. They are not serious. They only need to apply medicine for two days to reduce congestion and swelling." Madam Cao saw Princess Pingyang. His expression was wrong and he hurriedly spoke out.
Princess Pingyang seemed to be indifferent, her eyes swept over everyone present coldly, and without waiting for anyone else to say anything, she walked directly to Wei Qian and stood still.
"You, you, what are you going to do?" Wei Qi looked at the depressed Princess Pingyang and couldn't help but feel panicked and frightened.
When everyone thought Princess Pingyang was going to say something, she suddenly raised her hand, "Pah! Pah! Pah!" and slapped Wei Qi several times.
Wei Qi was stunned by the slap, her face was swollen before she screamed: "Ah~~~~I want my father to kill you, kill you!"
"Princess! What are you doing?!" The nanny in the palace also jumped up in fright, stepped in front of Wei Qi, and received several slaps from Princess Pingyang.
"Princess, no!"
"Princess, please calm down."
In the hall, there was an uproar and chaotic sounds everywhere.
Shen Zhuo stared at Princess Pingyang in surprise. In her impression, the way A Niang beat people was always chasing the second and third brothers across the yard with a feather duster. This was the first time she had seen such a stern and arrogant appearance in her past and present lives.
Princess Pingyang flicked her wrist and looked at Wei Qi and the nanny in front of her with a cold face: "Go back and tell Chang Ning that if she can't teach her daughter well, I will discipline her for her!"
After Princess Pingyang finished beating the man, her depression dissipated a little. She walked up to Zheng Gongpei and bowed.
Zheng Gongpei hurriedly stood up and returned the gift: "I really don't dare to accept this gift from the princess. Such evil things happened in the academy because I am not strict in my studies. I am really ashamed."
"Mr. Zheng, Mingshan Academy has a century-old reputation. It is not only good at teaching, but also good at educating people. It has always been fair in dealing with things and strict in academic studies. That is why the Shen family has allowed all the children in the family to study at Mingshan Academy."
"Who knew that today, my daughter would be so humiliated in the academy! I hope the academy can severely punish the evildoers, otherwise the Shen family will go to the palace to ask for an explanation from His Majesty!"
When Zheng Gongpei heard this, his mind was buzzing, one head was as big as two! The feud between Shen Shoufu and the leader of the Dasu Kingdom could be resolved by him as the Academy Headmaster?
In the courtyard of a deep house, everything is a family matter. The life and death of maids, aunts, concubines, sons and daughters are all decided by the owner of the house. The people do not sue, the officials do not investigate, everything goes by just turning a blind eye.
But academies are different, especially Mingshan Academy. If something happens here, it may involve the court or state affairs.
Zheng Shanchang was so angry that his hair stood on end. Studying the law must be put on the agenda and arranged as soon as possible! We must not let the back-house style spread in the academy!
After Princess Pingyang said these words to Zheng Gongpei, she took Shen Zhuo and Han Mei and walked out. When passing by everyone in the Han Mansion, she didn't even glance at them.
Before leaving the house, she stopped and said, "Today, I, the princess, put it here. If any family in Kyoto wants to marry the Han family, they will have trouble with the Shen family and Prince Zhao's palace!"
Princess Pingyang's words were clear and resounding. The four words "using power to bully others" were vividly interpreted by her.
"Bang!" The teacup in Mrs. Han's hand rolled to the ground and broke into several pieces. The pale and frightened faces of Han Zhizhi and Han Pingping made Mrs. Han's expression even more gloomy.
Princess Pingyang left in a grand manner with Shen Zhuo, Han Mei and a group of guards and maids.
Her coming and going was like a gust of wind, and it took less than a stick of incense to come and go. From the beginning to the end, she never asked about right or wrong, and she didn't bother to listen to anyone's words.
Guo Haotian has been sitting in the most remote place of the Mingchajian Hall. He is not the protagonist in today's matter. He watched Princess Pingyang come and go in a hurry, and couldn't help shaking his head and clicking his tongue. The style of the Shen family's little witch turned out to be hereditary.
In the past, Guo Haotian had always been the one on trial when he entered the Ming Dynasty, but today he was rarely a bystander. This experience was really new.
He was able to help a little today. Zhao Mingyi looked at him with a look of surprise, which made him feel quite happy inexplicably. Well, let’s just say I owe Shen Zhuo a favor this time around. Guo Haotian thought in a good mood.
