Chapter 215 Need Evidence
The responsibility naturally lies with Qiao Sang himself.
Qiao Sang deserves to die.
Lu Sen is not afraid of Qiao Qiancheng, but after being in the officialdom for many years, he knows a truth, if you can't make enemies, you won't make enemies. If you are an enemy today, you may be a friend tomorrow. The situation in the court is changing rapidly. Flowers don't bloom forever, and people don't live forever. He can't be sure that he won't have to deal with Qiao Qiancheng in the future.
Besides, it’s none of my business, just hang on high.
Whether it is the Xi Mansion or the Meng Mansion, it has nothing to do with the Lu Mansion, and it is not the life of the Lu family girl that is at stake. Therefore, there is some resentment, avoid it if you can, and avoid it if you can.
Of course, as the governor of Beijing Yamen, he must judge the case impartially.
The premise is that he has this opportunity.
Now, there is undoubtedly this opportunity.
As for Meng Shisan not accepting his move and not following his wishes, she used her words to say that Qiao Sang's death was entirely his own fault, which made Lu Sen deepen his understanding of Meng Shisan.
Although this girl is young, she is not a follower of others, she is not a narrow-minded person, and she is not an ignorant lady who can easily be taken advantage of and climb up regardless of others.
He recalled his second brother's recent change in his opinion of the eldest daughter of the Meng family. From time to time, he would make comments and compliments. Before that, he thought that his second brother was obsessed with Meng Liangchen. Now, now Come to think of it, even if the second brother is obsessed with his heart and soul, there is some truth in it.
Not to mention anything else, he just dared to trample on Qiao Sang’s face under his feet in the court, in front of Qiao’s family, and did not hesitate to make Qiao Sang’s reputation clear and clear. , if it were true that even if he died, black was black, right was wrong, and there was no ambiguity at all, he would have to give Miss Meng a high look.
All the previous rumors cannot be believed at all.
Although Meng Tianguan's eldest granddaughter is weak due to minor illness, her character is persevering. Although she has a violent temper, she is also fierce in her behavior. This time, she stepped forward in court and tore Qiao Sang's heart to pieces. The fig leaf made it impossible for Qiao Sang to keep his name even after his death, and in the words that explained the facts, he invisibly argued for Xi Yanwen.
Xi Yanwen had just accused Miss Meng of being the murderer who forced Qiao Sang to death, but Miss Meng just said that she didn't dare to accept it, and followed the procedure in a regular manner, telling what happened in Bixu Manor one after another. To tell it in detail, it should be broad-minded and repay evil with kindness.
After all, Yushi Xi’s daughter is also innocent.
No matter what, Meng Tianguan had to admire Meng Tianguan for raising his eldest granddaughter to be so virtuous.
However, he still hasn't guessed what Meng Liangchen's intention is when he is willing to come to court in person?
Is it possible that he really came to be a Bodhisattva in this world because of the support of the Meng Mansion and the East Palace?
If this is the case, then this girl is also kind-hearted, but her vision is limited, and she is brave and reckless. If she is not careful, she will bring endless disasters to the Meng family sooner or later.
Nothing.
Lu Sen put away the admiration in his eyes and said impartially: "Miss Xi, when Miss Qiao drowned that day, you and Miss Meng were both on the stone bridge of Bixu Manor. It can be said that you witnessed it with your own eyes and participated in the whole process. , then just now Meng Da Do you agree with what the lady said? "
"...I agree." How dare Xi Yanchu disagree? At this moment, Meng Shisan did not pursue her second confession to shift the blame. Thirteen is kind and doesn't care about her.
If she continues to be ignorant, she will surely end badly!
Lu Sen looked at Master Chen. Master Chen understood, immediately stood up, and presented the still-ink-stained confession to Meng Shisan with both hands.
Meng Shisan read it and confirmed that there was no difference. He signed and pressed his fingerprint.
"Okay." Lu Sen nodded and turned to Mrs. Qiao, "I wonder if Mrs. Qiao has anything else to say?"
Seeing that the case had reached this point, Mrs. Qiao She already After losing control, it was Sister Sang who was unreasonable. In the name of her eldest brother-in-law, it was acceptable for her to control the daughter of a small imperial censor. She had no choice but to save Xi Yanchuan's life. I forgive Xi Yanchuan. Not out of her palm!
But she didn't expect that all the other five houses refused to help Xi Yanjuan. However, the eldest lady of the Meng house, whom she hated the most, came to the court to testify in person, regardless of her identity, and told all the consequences of Sister Sang's death.
She exhaled a breath, slowing down the beating heart in her chest.
Today I beat the drum and filed a complaint. I originally thought that I would kill Xi Yanchan, save Sister Sang's life, and also give an explanation to my uncle who was about to return to Beijing. I never thought that Meng Liangchen would be here. Accident.
She was really angry to death!
However, in today's case, if she had known that Meng Liangchen would condescend and set foot in the lobby of the Beijing Yamen to argue, she would not have come, but now that she has come, she cannot lose!
After thinking about it, Mrs. Qiao had the last resort: "Sir, Miss Meng kept saying that my Sister Sang was scheming. She not only provoked a quarrel between Miss Jiang and Miss Xi, but also jumped into the water twice with the intention of It was slander to coerce Mr. Lu into falling into the water with the intention of marrying into the Lu family! As for Sister Sang accidentally knocking Miss Meng off the bridge, I heard about it that afternoon. After that, I personally went to Miss Meng to plead guilty. I also hope that Miss Meng will stop arguing with the dead Sister Sang, so that my Sister Sang can rest in peace under the Nine Springs!"
Fortunately, she had the foresight and was prepared in advance. If something unexpected happened and Xi Yanchuan complained about Sister Sang's bad behavior in court, she would also make it difficult for Xi Yanchuang to defend her, and it would be useless to argue!
Unexpectedly, this move was finally used on Meng Liangchen.
It doesn’t matter, it can be used on anyone, as long as it is useful.
As expected, Lu Sen turned to Meng Shisan: "Does Miss Meng have any evidence?"
If the master himself spreads rumors with only a maid waiting by him, there will be no evidence.
As soon as Qiao Sang said it, Xi Yanjuan believed him. They were only followed by their respective maids. The only people who knew the truth were two pairs of masters and four servants.
Xi Yanwen is the defendant, Hong Zao cannot be a witness, and Qiao Sang is dead. If his maid Cuiliu can tell the truth, she will be an excellent witness, and her testimony will be convincing enough.
It’s just...
Meng Shisan glanced at Mrs. Qiao, but since Mrs. Qiao could raise questions like this in court, it was naturally impossible to leave Cuiliu as an important witness. The Jing Yamen summoned, and Lu Fuyin couldn't produce the evidence she wanted for a while.
Furthermore, she had not prepared to go to court before, so Xi Kuangjing's begging on her knees was unexpected. Even though she had already thought of Cuiliu, a crucial figure, it was of no use.
Mrs. Qiao Er was at first glanced at by Meng Shisan, her eyes lowered imperceptibly, and then she couldn’t hear Meng Shisan’s voice for a long time. She thought she was overjoyed, knowing that Meng Shisan was being stumped by her. .
In other words, Meng Liangchen has no evidence!
Thinking like this, she raised her eyes, met Meng Shisan's eyes, and said aggressively: "Miss Meng doesn't think that she can slander my Sister Sang's reputation just by talking! ”
Then he turned to Lu Sen: "My lord, Miss Meng's words are unfounded and she doesn't know what evil intentions she hides. She even wants to make my sister Sang's posthumous name low. This means that our sister Sang will not be able to live in peace after her death!" ”
