Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 361
At this time, he was suddenly announced into the palace by the emperor, and he didn't know what happened. He was flustered and sweated continuously from his forehead.

The emperor asked with a smile: "Bai Xianyu, I heard from Xuanyuan Luo that you told him about the loss of virginity of the champion's wife before marriage. I want to know, how did you know about it? Did you see it with your own eyes, or did you make it up?" rumor?"

Bai Xianyu never dreamed that the emperor asked him to enter the palace to ask such a question. He couldn't help being stunned for a long time before he said, "Reporting to the emperor, I didn't spread any rumors. I am Zhang Wei, the second son of the servant of the Ministry of Rites. Said."

The emperor laughed again, "Come here, bring Zhang Wei..."

While the emperor in the palace was busy trying the case, a man came to the gate of the capital. Ping'er got off a carriage without any hesitation, and stepped forward to beat drums and shout for grievances.

Yin Shengtang of the capital prefecture tried the case, but he was taken aback when he asked a question, and hurriedly brought Ping'er into the palace.

At this time, in the royal study room in the palace, seven or eight children from aristocratic families had already knelt down, all of whom were implicated by biting one another.

The Governor of the Kyoto Prefecture was summoned, walked into the imperial study room, and hurriedly knelt down to pay homage, "Report to the Emperor, I have something to report, just now a woman came to the Kyoto Prefecture to beat drums and cry for grievances, and the minister was promoted to the court for trial. Unexpectedly, what this woman said The case was actually the same as the case of Zhuangyuanlang, so this minister brought this woman into the palace and asked the emperor to judge her."

The emperor was a little tired of asking questions at this time, and said impatiently: "Then bring it in."

The governor of Kyoto hurriedly turned around and went out, and brought Ping'er into the imperial study room. Ping'er knelt down and kowtowed in panic, "Your servant sees the emperor, sees the empress."

The emperor squinted his eyes and glanced at the screen, "This woman, why did you go to the capital to beat drums and cry for injustice?"

When Ping'er was trembling, she said, "The servant's name is Ping'er. She is the personal maid of Murong Wenxia, ​​the second lady of Jiajun Prince's Mansion. Because our lady has always looked down on the eldest family, and often has conflicts with the eldest family's ladies. Ever since the eldest young master married Miss Xia thought that she was not pleasing to the eyes of the young lady, so she sent her slaves to spread rumors, saying that the wife of the number one scholar lost her virginity before marriage."

"Nonsense!" The emperor suddenly reprimanded. "If your young lady doesn't like your eldest grandma, why don't you just frame your eldest grandma for losing her virginity before marriage? Why not frame the wife of Zhuangyuan Lang? This is completely unreasonable!"

"My Majesty, please show me that this servant is telling the truth." Ping'er hurriedly fell to the ground. "That day, our lady received a letter, and then sent me out to spread rumors. Now the lady is afraid that I will reveal the secret, and intends to kill me, so I finally escaped and went to the capital to file a complaint."

"So, you are still a poor person?" The emperor couldn't help but let out a sneer, he had already guessed that the appearance of this girl had something to do with Murong Yu.

Ping'er lay down on the ground and said timidly: "Your maidservant also obeys others' orders and can't help herself. She also asks the emperor to make the maidservant's decision."

The emperor's cold and sharp eyes swept across the children of the family kneeling on the ground, and a look of disappointment flashed instinctively in his eyes, "Come here, let Murong Wenxia enter the palace!"

Half an hour later, Murong Wenxia appeared in front of the emperor in an incomparably beautiful dress. When she saw the people kneeling on the ground in the imperial study, Murong Wenxia was taken aback.

But when she saw Ping'er was there, the blood on her face faded immediately, and she instinctively realized that something was wrong, her feet softened, she knelt down on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Mr. .”

The emperor frowned indistinctly, "Murong Wenxia, ​​you only have me in your eyes, don't you see the pure concubine beside me?"

Murong Wenxia was startled, she didn't expect the emperor to find fault with her, so she hurriedly said: "My daughter, see the pure concubine empress! This is the first time my daughter enters the palace to see her, it is inevitable that she is flustered, and she is out of courtesy, so please invite the emperor and empress Forgive me."

The emperor said expressionlessly: "I heard something from your maid..."

"My daughter has never done anything..." Murong Wenxia was in a bad mood. Ping'er had been missing for the past few days, and she must have been captured and tortured. excuse. "I beg your Majesty to learn from you. Ping'er, a girl who stole the jewels of my courtiers and was punished by her, will speak nonsense and slander my courtiers. Your Majesty must never trust her."

The emperor smiled ferociously, "Murong Wenxia, ​​you haven't heard what I said, but you have heard something from your maid, and you have to defend yourself in such a hurry, is it a guilty conscience?"

"Your servant dare not..." Murong Wenxia broke out in a cold sweat from fright, only feeling that her body was chilly, like falling into an ice cellar, and she no longer dared to speak indiscriminately.

The emperor asked with a sneer: "Then I'm here to ask you, did you let the servant girl spread the rumor about Mrs. Zhuangyuan losing her virginity before marriage?"

"No!" Murong Wenxia never dreamed that this matter would come to the emperor, how could she dare to admit it, she knew that once she admitted it, she would only die, so she gritted her teeth and refused to admit it .

The emperor let out a cold laugh, "Your servant girl said it was you, but you said no, what should I do? Who should I trust?"

Eunuch Yao at the side said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, people are bitter insects, if you can't beat them, you should use torture."

When Murong Wenxia heard this, her face like the morning glow suddenly turned pale.

The emperor nodded, "Yes, if there is no punishment, some people will not tell the truth."

Murong Wenxia bravely raised her head, "Your Majesty, do you want to beat me to death?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes in displeasure, "You little girl, you have a sharp tongue, and dare to accuse me of being tortured."

A little eunuch suddenly came in from the outside, holding a letter in both hands, "My Majesty, this letter was found in Murong Wenxia's bedside mezzanine!"

The emperor's gloomy voice said: "Submit it!"

As soon as Murong Wenxia saw the letter, her heart shook, her body trembled violently, and she kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, my daughter is convicted, and she was provoked by others to commit such a serious crime." , and begged the emperor to spare his life."

The emperor opened the envelope, took a glance at the letter paper inside, and then let out a gloomy laugh, "Murong Wenxia, ​​you are really good at changing the wind, if you don't have such ironclad evidence, you must have refused to admit it until now. Bar."

Murong Wenxia's body was like sifting chaff, trembling violently, "I beg your majesty to spare me, I don't even know that this matter is a rumor, it was all instigated by someone."

"Then who is the person who wrote the letter?"

"I really don't know, the person who sent the letter to my daughter didn't leave a name. My daughter is foolish and bewitched to make such a big mistake. I hope the emperor will spare my daughter's life for the sake of my grandfather. My daughter Willing to be punished."
