Because of his aristocratic status, Prince Mo bestowed the seat on the left head. After Wu Zhe finished writing the pleadings, he and Bao Lao stood behind him. The rest of the guards naturally stayed in the hall.
The Xuncheng school lieutenant and his party who came with them are also waiting to be summoned in the hall. In this era, there is no perfect criminal prosecution system, and it is quite common for witnesses to watch the trial.
"Who is asking for an interrogation late at night at the Clan Mansion?" The head of the Clan Mansion raised his eyelids slightly, asking with authority.
He is the landlord and owner of this place, and he has the position of head of the clan. Even if Dugu Mo is His Royal Highness, he should respect him.
Prince Mo stepped forward and said loudly: "The official title of Prince Mo of the Dawu Kingdom, hereby ask the clan's mansion to judge, the official and the maid pomegranate eat the inside and outside, and the inside and outside thieves!"
He is willing to complain directly by himself, which is relatively rare among nobles. The Clan Mansion regards this as respect for itself.
Shiliu, as the eldest servant girl of the clan's government, was actually sued by her master, Prince Mo, directly. But everyone knows that if the evidence is not conclusive, Prince Mo would not have come to sue in the middle of the night.
The headmaster raised his eyelids: "Do you have a warrant?"
Wu Zhe hastily presented the pleading paper with wet ink to Dugu Mo, who held it to the patriarch and master with both hands.
"Bring it up." The master in charge said slowly.
The master hurriedly handed it over to the master in charge, and graciously helped spread it out with an inkstone to hold it down.
The master in charge stared at the pleadings, and couldn't help shouting: "Good word!"
I only saw the font on the paper, floating but not moving, soft but not demonic, both cursive and majestic. Knowing that it was written by a woman, but it smells of lead and powder. Among the fluttering and graceful fonts, it is wonderfully full of the masculine and generous feeling of the pen.
As soon as the master in charge rolled his eyes, he was deeply attracted. He has cultivated a lot in calligraphy, and when he saw such a good font that he had never seen before, he felt as if he was fascinated by it.
Wu Zhe used the font of Wu Zetian Shengxian Prince Stele.
This font has never been used. Wu Zhe planned to use this as his font for playing Zhou Zhiruo. As early as when she sneaked into Zhou's house, she had already considered that the font might reveal her identity, and quietly replaced some of Miss Zhou's handwriting practice posts.
The principal stared at the pleading paper for a while, reluctant to look away, but soon realized that he couldn't ignore the case like this, and hurriedly said: "Ah, the plaintiff, Prince Mo, come to dictate the reasons for the matter."
Dugu Mo spoke generously and spoke slowly.
The prince left, the burglars entered the mansion, the thieves were chased to show off, the maid recruited herself, everything happened one by one. Although Dugu Mo was not as eloquent and eloquent as Wu Zhe, he still spoke clearly.
It's just that he deliberately concealed the name of the eldest prince. One is that he does not want to accuse the eldest prince directly by his own accusation, but hopes that Shiliu will not accuse himself; the other is to follow Wu Zhe's plan. Dugu Mo is still waiting for the response from the Grand Prince's Mansion.
When he and Bao Lao had already left Prince Mo's Mansion, they both noticed that someone hurriedly rushed to the direction of the Grand Prince's Mansion to report. Old Leopard followed quietly for a while, confirming that he was a follower of the Grand Prince's Mansion.
There was such a commotion in Prince Mo's mansion, and the pomegranate was still escorted to the clan's mansion overnight, ordinary people would have heard about it. What's more, the eldest prince who is concerned about Prince Mo's mansion? Presumably, urgent consultations are underway on how to deal with it.
This is exactly what Wu Zhe expected, exactly in line with expectations, and saved a lot of hands and feet.
After Dugu Mo finished speaking, the lord in charge also read Wu Zhe's pleadings from beginning to end.
Although the appreciation of calligraphy is still endless. But he had no time to continue, so he could only carefully roll up the pleading paper and put it aside. He glanced at Wu Zhe.
Seeing this, his heart skipped a beat.
She really wrote the words on the pleading paper just now? You can't judge people by their appearances! Unexpectedly, such a beautiful girl, and she is still a maid, can write such beautiful and fresh fonts.
Judging by her dress and position, she might be Prince Mo's study maid, and she must go to Prince Mo's mansion for advice when she has time.
The master took this matter to heart. Concentrating again, he shouted: "Pomegranate, the criminal woman, do you know the crime?!"
After Dugu Mo's slow statement, Shiliu's heart has stabilized a lot, and she hurriedly said: "The servant girl is convicted, what Prince Mo said is true. But..."
In the clan mansion, she claimed to be an official servant.
When the Lord Master heard that she confessed directly, he couldn't help but looked at her in surprise, seeing that she didn't appear to be lying, he couldn't help but take a look at him.
By the way, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, and the ironclad evidence is as strong as a mountain. She finally knows that it is undeniable.
The master in charge said: "Since Prince Mo's words are true, you should truthfully recruit any thief from outside the family who has been fornicating, and still say [but] what?"
"But, but, it was the eldest prince who gave gifts to the servants, and the servants dare not refuse to accept them..." Shi Liu said surprisingly.
The master in charge jumped in his heart, and immediately slapped the hall in surprise: "Bold and cunning woman! How dare you speak nonsense..."
"Officials and servants don't dare to speak nonsense, everything is true! Here is the sign of the Grand Prince's Mansion to prove it!" Shi Liu immediately brought out all the life-saving methods in Prince Mo's Mansion.
Looking at the sign, as the head of the clan's mansion, the Master Chief naturally knew it was true, tears streaming down his face...
It's too bad, something big has happened!
In the middle of the night, the prince came down to file a complaint, and sure enough, nothing good happened!
The lord in charge glanced at Prince Mo who was calm and calm at the side, and shouted in his heart: You didn't say the name of the eldest prince yourself just now, you just waited for this foolish maid to call it out, right
Prince Mo, who was able to do such a famous thing as building a monument and redeeming brother, really knows how to do things!
Well, you lead the fire to me, and let me suppress it first.
The master in charge calmed his mind, and slapped the hall: "Bold and cunning woman, and said that she is not talking nonsense. You are a maid, how could the eldest prince give you jewelry worth more than ten thousand taels? I think you are infatuated." Crazy! Come on, give me ten marks on her spine, and ask again!"
The master in charge is the boss of the clan mansion, in charge of all kinds of miscellaneous affairs of the royal clan and relatives. Although there are a lot of miscellaneous things, he must be a trusted minister of Emperor Xuanwu, and he has the authority to directly meet the emperor.
Involving the eldest prince's bribery of Prince Mo's official servant girl, this matter is hard to say, and the principal does not dare to initiate an interrogation.
At this time, it is naturally the best trick to drag the word. He planned to move his stick recklessly, directly knocking the pomegranate unconscious, and then went out of the hall, procrastinating until dawn to communicate with Emperor Xuanwu.
Even if Prince Mo objected, the principal culprit fainted, and the trial could not continue.
All the yamen servants in the hall responded in unison, and amidst Pomegranate's exclamation, they threw out their coiling dragon sticks, and they wanted to set her up to make her stronger.
At this time, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "My lord, wait a moment, I have something to say!" (To be continued...)
