big prince? !
As soon as these words came out, Xuncheng Xiaowei and others trembled.
trouble.
Faintly, Captain Xuncheng felt something was wrong. It seems to be involved in a terrible event.
The eldest prince bribed Prince Mo's official maid...
This matter can be big or small, it's hard to say! Come to think of it, even the politically minded would find this a scandal.
Fools know that people are vying for positions, but you can't make it clear. Especially directly buying off another prince's close personal, this means too much.
And this person is not an ordinary girl, but an official servant girl. The eldest prince bribed the servant girl assigned to Prince Mo by the clan officials under Emperor Xuanwu, what do you mean? This is tantamount to denying the neutrality of Emperor Xuanwu in the struggle for the position among the princes!
Even the servants and guards of Prince Mo's mansion were shocked when they heard that, and they all took a peek at Dugu Mo.
Dugu Mo's face sank like water, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Look, Prince Mo finds it tricky, doesn't he? Everyone thinks so.
Shiliu didn't have so much political savvy to think about these things. Now she was afraid that she would be beaten to death by the murderous Prince Mo. Seeing that everyone didn't respond for a while, she suddenly gained confidence and felt that her life was saved.
"Is what you said true?" Prince Mo said word by word.
"It's true, it's true!" Pomegranate hurriedly took two steps on the ground, leaned closer and shouted: "The golden jade phoenix hairpin on this head, and those three pieces of jewelry were all given to me by the eldest prince."
"You mean that the eldest prince ordered someone to send you four pieces of valuable jewelry?" Prince Mo seemed in disbelief: "I heard that this hairpin will cost eighty million taels."
"It's not wrong at all." Pomegranate had an expression on his face that what I said was true.
Wu Zhe watched from the side, and said in his heart: Sister Shiliu, a primary school student, is really a good teammate...
"Nonsense!" Prince Mo seemed to be angry: "Where did you come up with lies?!"
"I don't dare to cling to it indiscriminately, everything is true." Shiliu quickly grabbed the life-saving rope of the eldest prince. She felt that as long as the eldest prince was powerful, Prince Mo would not dare to kill himself on the spot.
She hurriedly took out a sign from her close-fitting clothes: "This is when the eldest prince sent someone to give a gift, he also attached a sign. It said that if I intend to invest in his house, I can find a cheap opportunity and use this sign Unimpeded."
Including the Xuncheng school lieutenant, they all stared at it, and saw that the sign in Shiliu's hand was indeed the pass card of the Grand Prince's Mansion, and it was also a sign above the level of a well-known staff member.
With this brand, what Shiliu said could not be false.
The Xuncheng school captain felt a little bit drummed in his heart: Why does the eldest prince do things with such a trace? Yonu betrayed and returned the sign
They didn't expect that the eldest prince wanted to prove his sincerity by asking the brain truster to switch to him. I can't wait for the real money to be sent directly, and a sign can even break through the obstacles for pomegranates to walk.
This brand was suggested by Master Maitreya, which means that it can greatly enhance the trust of the think tank in the sincerity of the eldest prince. Moreover, it also allowed the think tank to find a good time to quietly find the eldest prince's subordinates to join the camp by cheating death and other means.
But the problem is that you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs.
The eldest prince and Master Maitreya never imagined that the think tank they thought would be able to plan the plan to build a monument to redeem their brother would not be able to control their own mouth and brand!
Deceit! Who would have thought that a guy with such a high IQ would not even know how to keep secrets.
But Pomegranate is not Wu Zhe, let alone a think tank with an extremely high IQ. But a mediocre woman who can only dream and is jealous.
Prince Mo coughed lightly, and said to Xuncheng Xiaowei and others: "The family is unlucky, I made everyone laugh."
"Where is there, who can guarantee that there will be no defeated slaves? Not to mention others, it is a concubine of my brother who ran away with the gardener." Captain Xuncheng hurriedly helped Prince Mo save face: "Of course, later my brother and I Bury this pair of dogs and men underground."
The rich families have considerable freedom to punish the servants and concubines who elope and flee. As long as the witness evidence is confirmed. Report the death to the official family.
Pomegranate trembled even more when she heard this, and she was convinced that she could not let go after she had firmly grasped the life-saving rope of the eldest prince.
Wu Zhe looked at her. I feel a little pitiful in my heart. But in an enemy country, how can you give up the best strategy because of a moment of mercy
It was a good idea to use pomegranate as a shield before. But now that he has been invited by the Sanshengzong, the eldest prince is not a fool, it only takes a day or two to find out that something is wrong. After all, pomegranate is too muddy to stick to the wall, and it is impossible to take on such an important responsibility as a shield for a long time...
So Wu Zhe was before the qualification ceremony for the Xuanwu female general. The matter of pomegranate must be dealt with quickly, so that her shield can be maximized. Emperor Xuanwu has already made it clear that he is paying attention to himself, and many people in the Sanshengzong know him, even the trainees in the state of Jin know him, so it is impossible for him to always hide behind others.
"Brother, you are telling the truth." Dugu Mo expressed his deep gratitude to Captain Xuncheng for his help in exposing his family's ugliness, and sighed: "Since the pomegranate matter is related to the clan, then I can't deal with it normally. Brother, please be a circumstantial evidence, and I will escort this poor maid to the clan mansion."
Clan mansion? Pomegranate was startled when she heard it, but soon settled down again. Going there means you won't be lynched.
"It's naturally the responsibility of brothers and me to arrest criminals and maintain law and order. Prince Mo doesn't need to be courteous. Are we going overnight?"
"It's not a small matter, we'll go to the clan's mansion right away..." Prince Mo paused at this point, then sighed again: "Oh, that's all I need to do with this defeated maid."
You see, this is Prince Mo who built a monument to redeem his brother, he is called a noble man! The Xuncheng school captain and his subordinates gave thumbs up secretly.
It is obvious that the eldest prince sent someone to buy his personal servant girl to do something wrong, but she refused to make it too public. This is called character!
Prince Mo took the relevant guards and servants, as well as the witness Xuncheng Xiaowei and others, to the clan's mansion overnight.
The clan's mansion is different from ordinary yamen, because there are people there at twelve hours a day.
There are more clan mansions in Wu Kingdom than the Ming and Qing clan mansions in another world. As long as it is a matter of the royal family, it must be taken care of. For example, worshiping ancestors, arranging seniority, hereditary titles, marriages and deaths, and even royal clans fighting dead people and messing with flowers and grass. It is one of the functions of officials to assign maids.
It has independent judicial power, but it is the most independent yamen. Because no one in the royal family is easy to mess with, any clan member may be involved in the forces behind it.
"What, Prince Mo and Captain Xuncheng have arrived together?" The temporary steward of the clan's mansion heard that the person with the status of a prince had come overnight, and immediately knew something was wrong: "Quickly go and invite the principal!"
Although he had received Prince Mo here in advance, he deliberately evaded for a while, and sure enough, the master had already arrived panting heavily.
The head of this session is an official sent by Emperor Xuanwu. The Clan Mansion plays a great mediating function, so the principal is not a reckless man, but a peacemaker who is good at observing words, tone and contradictions. Of course, he is kind on the surface, but the majesty in his bones is only sent out to some clan members who do not have a big background.
The master in charge is slightly fatter, got up from the bed at home and came in a sedan chair, and ran all the way into the lobby of the clan mansion.
"Oh, Prince Mo."
"Oh, my lord."
The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and the school captain Xuncheng also came up to talk.
"Why is the captain here?" The master in charge is a lot higher than the captain, and it is already very face-saving to call him an adult.
Prince Mo quickly explained: "Sir Captain is involved in this matter, so I was invited to be a witness."
The Xuncheng school captain smiled apologetically.
"This time, it's because of a servant girl." Dugu Mo naturally could no longer call him a servant girl in front of the head of the clan's mansion, and briefly explained the situation.
The person in charge of the clan's mansion quickly understood: "Prince Mo is in charge, accusing the servant girl Pomegranate of being a thief? Are there any witnesses?"
The school captain Xuncheng said from the side: "The seven of us who patrol the city can all be witnesses."
Old Leopard said: "There are also three pieces of jewelry here, as well as the golden jade hairpin still on the pomegranate bun, which can be physical evidence!"
Prince Mo added: "I sent someone to invite the shopkeeper of the jewelry store of the Chu family, which can also be a witness."
The master in charge glanced at Pomegranate who was being held by the side of the hall, snorted and said: "In this way, this matter deserves to be opened for trial!"
Dugu Mo solemnly cupped his hands: "I would like to ask my lord to make a clear decision."
"Prince Mo, please take the plaintiff's seat." The chief officer shook his sleeves: "All the yamen servants! Waiting for you!"
"Shengtang—" All the servants in the hall of the clan's mansion echoed, and immediately took out the guys and lined them up on both sides.
The newly replaced Panlong stick sounded rhythmically.
Wu Zhe was writing the pleadings in the corner of the hall while watching the bustle. I just feel that the promotion of this clan's mansion is much more prestigious than the county government on TV.
As soon as she heard that the trial would begin, Shiliu's face immediately turned pale with fright. From the hands of the servant who was holding her, she sat limply on the ground.
With the lights on, the clan mansion was soon brightly lit.
The principal is wearing an official robe with a belt, and sits majestically on the python seat in the hall. This is the official seat with a python-shaped pattern bestowed by Emperor Xuanwu.
"Bring that daring convict, Pomegranate, to the court!" The master in charge was full of authority.
Although Shiliu has relatives of the first emperor's nanny, she is nothing in front of this kind of thing. Moreover, the habit of presuming guilt in this era also made her called a criminal woman directly.
Seeing that Pomegranate couldn't get up, the yamen servants of the clan's mansion didn't say much, they thrust two coiling dragon sticks into her ribs, lifted her up with a bang, and threw her into the hall.
The pomegranate was thrown into the air and fell to the ground with a slap. He fell so badly that he almost fainted from the fall.
This is exactly the case where the eldest prince bribed a golden jade hairpin, and the clan mansion tried the maid at night. Qiao Zhiruo cleverly set up a house thief's trick, and the silly pomegranate dreamed of concubine fate. (To be continued..)
