Jiang Pengji sneered and asked, "Why is the county governor's face so strange, is it because the witness you mentioned is completely false?"
After a moment, Wuma's dull eyes regained their vigour.
"Don't be arrogant, wait for the witnesses to testify, and see how you refute? Bullying the king is a capital crime. This official advises you to think about the way back."
At this moment, not only Jiang Pengji sneered on his face, but other officials laughed secretly in their hearts.
Hearing that Jiang Pengji jumped from county magistrate to state shepherd, they were indeed a little sour, but sour turned sour, they dared not say such words.
Not to mention bullying the king, according to the current power of the Liu family, even if their swords go to the palace, for the sake of the overall situation, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty still dare not make a sound, and at most cast a few glances, not to mention the life of Jiang Pengji, Wuma Those words just made people laugh out loud.
It is indeed a big sin to deceive the king, but at some point, it is not worth mentioning at all.
Everyone was waiting to see the show, and for a while, it was no longer a meeting from the court.
After a while, an old-looking woman knelt at the entrance of the hall, dressed in sackcloth, with a frosty face.
Although she is an ordinary-looking old woman, she is quite calm in the face of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and the emperor sitting on the head.
The woman knelt down and saluted, greeting her in an old voice, "Slave, Zhao Jiashi, pay homage to Saint Wan'an."
Looking at the man, Jiang Pengji couldn't help laughing, "Wuma County Governor, is this what you call a witness? You are making me laugh."
Wuma pointed at Jiang Pengji and Liu She, and asked the old woman, "Are you sure this father and son are the owners you served?"
The old woman raised her head slightly, glanced at the two of them quietly, and said in a low voice, "It's the old lady and the eldest lady."
Baiguan was stunned, Huang Song had a confused expression of "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
The old woman spoke the Mandarin very well, with clear articulation and articulation.
The words she said, everyone knew every word, but they couldn't understand them together.
Huang Song was stunned for a moment, regained his lost self, and tried to correct the old woman's slip of the tongue.
"That... I'm wrong, it's clearly 'the old man and Erlang-kun'."
The old woman said firmly, "Yes, although the old man is old and his memory is not bad, she is clearly a pretty lady."
Huang Song was silent, he thought to himself - the memory of the old woman in front of him may be correct, but her eyes are definitely blind.
A lively handsome man can actually be seen as a pretty lady, how blind must he be to say such absurd words
After the old woman replied, she lowered her head again, and Wuma hummed proudly.
"Liu Zhongqing, do you dare to admit that this Zhao Jiashi was once the servant girl of your house?"
Liu She laughed and said, "I'm a man, and I've always been a woman in the inner courtyard to take care of the chores in the inner courtyard. How could I know?"
Wuma snorted, "It's okay to avoid the important ones, and you can't do it if you don't admit it. This Zhao Jiashi is clearly a dowry servant brought by your original wife, Gu Min. Not long after you lost your wife, you personally took the lead and released a group of servants. You Dare you say you don't know him?"
After hearing this, Liu She didn't pay much attention to the tunnel, "It happened more than ten years ago. I don't look like the Wuma County Sheriff, who can remember the things in other people's backyards so clearly. You said that this Zhao Jiashi is his wife's dowry servant, That's fine, I have no objection."
When others heard it, they felt that Liu She's attitude was a little strange.
Others were clearly attacking Liu She's son. Liu She not only failed to maintain it, but actually fell into trouble
Before they could figure it out, Jiang Pengji, the party concerned, suspected that he had dug a hole for himself.
"Father, I heard from my stepmother a long time ago that the old man by my mother's side does have a Zhao Jia family, maybe she is."
Liu She glanced at the old woman, and said casually.
At this time, everyone saw that the father and son did not take this matter at all, and they deliberately scolded people.
The old woman knelt on the ground, squeezed her hands secretly, and said in a hoarse voice, "The slave is indeed the dowry slave of the late madam. Back then, the madam lost two sons one after another, and her body was already very weak. It didn't take long for her to die, leaving behind The old man and the eldest lady."
Wuma asked the old woman, "Are you sure the Liu Xi in front of you is the 'eldest lady'?"
The old woman nodded affirmatively and said, "The slave family can be sure that the eyebrows, nose and chin of the eldest lady are quite similar to the first lady. Back then, the first lady loved Erlang Jun, who was only four years old, but Erlang Jun was taken care of because of his servants. Not careful, accidentally fell into the water and drowned. In order to appease the pain of losing her son, the old lady lied that it was the eldest lady who died of drowning, and let the eldest lady bear the name of Erlang Jun. "
Liu She sneered after hearing this. "For my wife and I, every child is a close relative, and there is no distinction between the palm of the hand and the back of the hand. Because of such absurd reasons, we let the daughter replace the son, let the daughter live in the shadow of the son, and be a father and a man in vain. mother."
Wuma Sheng immediately grabbed his words and asked, "So, are you denying the truth?"
But Liu She said, "I just deny that ridiculous reason."
In other words, apart from the reasons, Liu She does not refute other facts.
Acknowledging so happy, Wuma Jing felt that she had hit the cotton with a fist, and she felt uncomfortable.
Now, it was Jiang Pengji's turn to make up for the knife.
She looked at Wuma Jing with caring eyes and asked him, "Wuma County's guards and teachers are all just for this?"
Wuma Jing and the woman's expressions instantly synchronized, and they seemed to be stunned.
Jiang Pengji continued, "Actually, I am very grateful to the Governor of Wuma for this matter. Because if you don't tell me, my father and I also plan to tell the truth to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager after we go to court. But, after all, our father and son are at fault for this matter. First of all, I lied first, and I didn't know how to speak. Wuma County Shou was kind and considerate, but he tied our father and son very busy and saved us from worrying."
Wuma Jing's expression froze, and the old woman also looked at a loss.
After a while, Wuma said, "You're a good planner, don't think that the crime of bullying the king can be alleviated now! If this official doesn't expose it, who can guarantee that your father and son will take the initiative to confess when they go to court, instead of continuing to hide from the sky and the sea, deceive the world?"
Jiang Pengji asked him in annoyance, "This is just a trivial matter, why does the Wuma County Shou hold on tight?"
"In your eyes, the crime of bullying the king is actually a trivial matter, so what is considered a major matter?" Wuma scolded sharply, then knelt down to the young emperor and said impassively, "Your Majesty, such sinners are not severely punished enough to deter them. Xiao Xiao! If you don't punish this person severely, from now on, everyone will think that deceiving the king is just a trivial matter, what is the majesty of Your Majesty? What is the majesty of the royal family?"
Jiang Pengji snorted, a scornful sneer that was particularly clear in the hall.
Wuma's face was ashen, her eyes were like copper bells, and she looked at Jiang Pengji with a strong killing intent.
"Wuma County Shou I said that I deceived the king, then I have a few questions to ask the County Shou. If you can answer, I will admit the crime of deceiving the king."
