Chapter 362
"Hmph..." The emperor stopped talking to her, and his cold eyes surveyed the faces of the children of the aristocratic family. "As the children of aristocratic families, you don't want to study and make progress, and do your best for the country. Instead, you are like a woman in the market, spreading rumors and spreading rumors all day long. Can you be convicted?"

How dare the children of these aristocratic families say that they are innocent in front of the emperor?They had no choice but to bow their heads and say they were guilty.

The emperor looked at Gu Qingyang with pity, and thought in his heart that the number one scholar made such a big fuss, clearly to protect his wife's reputation, and there was no way out, so he took the risk and wanted to use this method to make things big, The fact that Mrs. Zhuangyuan lost her virginity before marriage, even if it is true, it can only be false.

Catch traitors, catch thieves, catch thieves, these children of aristocratic families who spread rumors have no witnesses or physical evidence. Once the red mouth and white teeth are said, people will be caught.

He pondered for a while, and then said: "Since you have admitted that you are spreading rumors, you have wronged Mrs. Zhuangyuan. I will punish each of you with a fine of 500 taels of silver, send them to the Zhuangyuan Mansion in person, and punish you by kneeling in front of the Zhuangyuan Mansion." For an hour, make amends with Zhuangyuan Lang and Zhuangyuan's wife. In the future, such rumors will spread into my ears, and they will all cut off their tongues and feed them to dogs! I will never treat them leniently!"

The children of these aristocratic families lay on the ground nonchalantly, expressing their thanks one after another, none of them dared to object.

"As for you..." The emperor's gloomy gaze fell on Ping'er. "As a servant girl, the master does evil and doesn't know how to stop it. Instead, she helps the tyrant to abuse her. This is inhumane. If the traitor master sues, this is unrighteous. Sentenced to have his tongue pulled out, with a fifty court rod, and immediately dragged to Caishikou for execution."

The reason why the emperor punished Ping'er in this way was entirely for Gu Qingyang's consideration. Now that the rumors have started, there must be a public opinion to suppress the rumors. Sentencing this maid to execute in public is to create an environment for creating public opinion .

The person who spread the rumors has already been dealt with, and Tian Xiaomeng's loss of virginity before marriage is of course a fake.

"There is also Murong Wenxia, ​​punished to kneel in front of the Zhuangyuan's mansion for an hour, another fifty slaps on the mouth, twenty court rods, and the execution by the nuns in the palace in public, as a warning to everyone else!"

The emperor judged the case neatly, and left the imperial study with the concubine Chun, and returned to the concubine Chun's bedroom.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, Concubine Chun shed two lines of tears, sat on the couch and cried loudly.

The emperor hurriedly supported her shoulders to comfort her, "What's the matter? Why are you crying so well?"

"Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged. The case went through trial and error, but it ended up being tried on the concubine's family. The person behind the scenes turned out to be the concubine's own niece. How could the concubine have the face to face the emperor?"

"Okay, don't cry, it's just that the little girl is ignorant and provoked by others to make such a big mistake, so she should teach her a lesson, that's all." The reason why the emperor lightly sentenced this case today is because Letting those who spread the rumors and Murong Wenxia go to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to kneel down and make amends is just to minimize the consequences of the rumors.

After the emperor and the pure concubine left, Murong Wenxia sat on the ground with a face ashamed, she never imagined, how could things turn out like this?

Two muscular nuns came out under the signal of Eunuch Yao, one by one grabbed Murong Wenxia, ​​and took them out of the palace to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to kneel for punishment.

A group of children from aristocratic families hurried home to prepare silver taels, and were going to kneel in front of the Zhuangyuan's mansion together.

Gu Qingyang and Murong Yu both walked out of the gate of the palace, looked at each other at the gate of the palace, and breathed a sigh of relief.

They originally thought that there was no way to solve this matter. After all, no one could stop rumors, but Gu Qingmei insisted on letting them come out and make a big fuss, saying that if they didn't make a fuss, Tian Xiaomeng's reputation would really be ruined.

Tian Xiaomeng can only be saved if he comes out to make trouble and finally finds a way to find out the instigator behind the scenes and confront him.

Little did they know that the idea would actually work.

As long as the children of the aristocratic family and Murong Wenxia went to the gate of Zhuangyuan's mansion and knelt, and someone with a heart explained it, this matter would be attributed to spreading rumors, and all the sympathy points belonged to Tian Xiaomeng.

When Murong Wenxia was carried back to her residence, her face was swollen like a pig's head, and her buttocks were also slit open.

Seeing her miserable appearance, the second lady was so distressed that she almost fainted, and hurriedly went to ask the doctor to heal her injuries.

When the second wife learned that the reason she was beaten was because Gu Qingyang and Murong Yu went to the palace to seek the emperor's complaint, she brought people to Gu Qingmei's yard aggressively.

"Brother Yu, how can our sister Xia feel sorry for you? You actually hurt her like this? She is an innocent girl, and now she has suffered such injustice, how can she live?" The second lady wanted to die. She has all her heart, early this morning, someone came to Prince Guo's mansion, saying that she was going to divorce.

Murong Wenxia has lost such a big person, how could the Prince Guo's mansion marry her again? Retirement is absolute.

"She didn't feel sorry for me. The one she felt sorry for was Mrs. Zhuangyuan. This case was tried by the emperor himself. If Second Aunt has any dissatisfaction, she can go to the palace and tell the emperor." Murong Yu stood coldly at the door, The second wife is not allowed to break into the room and make a big fuss, his little wife is pregnant now, it would be bad if he bumped into her.

"You..." The second lady wanted to pounce on him and bite him, her facial features were distorted like a living ghost.

Murong Yu didn't even give her a chance to speak, "Besides, I just went to the palace to file a complaint, and it wasn't Sister Xia who I brought up, it was her who did something wrong and was found out by the emperor, Second Aunt won't go back and get well Disciplining my daughter, instead she came to my yard to make a scene. It's really indecent. By the way, Second Aunt, I advise you to teach and teach Miss Xia after you go back. As the saying goes, if you want to I don’t know, unless I do nothing.”

The second lady saw a group of hidden guards standing in the courtyard, and knew that she would be no good under Murong Yu's hands, so she had no choice but to go back to her courtyard bitterly, and cry bitterly while guarding her bruised baby daughter.

Three days later, a heavily guarded carriage was hijacked on the official road, and the woman in the carriage disappeared.

The concubine who got the news was stunned for a long time before showing a wry smile and sighing, "I thought I could save Shaoyan's life, but I underestimated that girl."

Qiu's mother had a sad expression on her face, "Concubine Tai, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? According to the original plan, report the funeral! Reporting the funeral now can at least save Shaoyan a face, otherwise, I'm afraid Xiaomeng's incident will happen again, and within half a month, the capital will know, we The daughter of the Jiang family was robbed by the bandits." Among the women who were robbed by the bandits, which one can come back with an innocent body?
Qiu's mother said worriedly: "Then Wangfei..."

"Let's be honest, if she is smart, she knows what to do. If she doesn't know and insists on making trouble, I can't protect her anymore." The concubine said quietly. "This girl is really ruthless, and she is smart enough. I feel relieved to have such a person by Brother Yu's side."
