The emperor passed by the entrance of the Purple Orchid Palace and heard the loud crying inside. He stood outside the palace and listened and watched for a while. When he almost knew what happened, he looked at Song Jieyu and Cao Guiren and directed their actions. One of the maids robbed someone else's wallet, and the other beat them until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and then they walked in.
Although Gongren Li was a low-ranking concubine and the emperor did not necessarily like her, the emperor could not tolerate Song Jieyu and Cao Guiren being so arrogant in the palace. As soon as they came in, he immediately gave orders People, pull Song Jieyu and Cao Guiren down, and send them on the road with a white silk ribbon.
There is such a vicious woman in the palace. She slaps the emperor in the face without knowing it, as if she is mocking him for not knowing who he is. Is it possible to make such a vicious person Jieyu and noble?
Jieyu and Guiren are of higher rank and smaller in number, so the emperor is quite familiar with them.
To be awarded such a high title shows that the emperor liked them before, but he didn't like them later.
At this moment, Song Jieyu and Cao Guiren were horrified to see that the emperor was going to kill them.
Since Song Jieyu knew how to pretend to be Xiao Bailian, she naturally had some scheming intentions. She burst into tears and said with a weak and innocent look: "Your Majesty, we are just asking her to get our money back. Maybe the action is intense It’s a little bit wrong, but we’re not wrong either. It’s only right to pay back debts.”
She immediately began to accuse Li Gongren, and was ready to change this matter from robbing money to borrowing money from Li Gongren. If they don't pay back their money, they want their money back.
In this way, the nature of the matter changed from them robbing money to the fact that Li Gong was a sleazebag and would not give them money, so they had no choice but to take the initiative to ask for money. It was only natural.
Anyway, even if Li Gongren said that it was not the case and that they were robbing the money, there is no evidence.
What they said was not just what others said. If they said this, people in the Li Palace could not prove it themselves.
Cao Guiren on the side also reacted, nodded like a fool, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. Li owes us a lot of money. We just want the money back. Our actions are rough. Yes, but it’s right that we want the money back.”
Hearing the two people’s retort, Li Gongren couldn’t help but become anxious and said: “Your Majesty, that’s not the case. I don’t owe them money, that’s right. they want Steal my money..."
It is not said that they robbed the money to give it to Liu Bin, because Liu Bin was not at the scene, and she was afraid of getting involved with Liu Bin. Liu Bin refused to admit it, and the emperor had no evidence. The emperor would not deal with her, and Liu Concubine, who had not been punished, would definitely cause trouble for her if she got involved with her after the emperor left. She would be the unlucky one, so at the moment, the Li palace people did not Mention Liu Concubine.
Song Jieyu listened to Li Gongren’s retort, and immediately started to put on Xiaobailian again, crying with tears in her eyes: "How can you say that? You said you are short of money, Cao and I The noble person has a higher status than you and has some money, so he lent you a little money. We treat you so well, how can you do this? ”
Li Gongren said: "You said you lent me money, did you have an IOU? Are you wronging me like this?"
Song Jieyu looked pitiful, with tears all over her beautiful face. Looks like I feel pity for you Zi, said: "It's not because we trust you that we didn't write the IOU. I didn't expect that you would use it to wrongly accuse us now."
Li Gongren became anxious now, took a few steps on his knees, and kowtowed to the emperor. Said: "Your Majesty, I am my concubine. I really don’t owe them any money!” The emperor asked someone to help her up and said, “I have already seen what is right and what is wrong.”
He shouted immediately. Those who come to the Criminal Division, and then treat Song Jie Yu and Cao Guiren said: "If you still want to make excuses, I can ask you to go to the Division of Punishment and tell them. Once it is found out that what you said is a lie, it will be deceiving the emperor. By then, it will not be as simple as a white silk! ”
Looking at Song Jieyu and Cao Guiren's move, it seemed that they felt that they could withstand the interrogation of the Shenxing Division and would not be accused of deceiving the emperor. They could also successfully frame Li Gongren. They couldn't help but sneer at the moment. He said: "Think carefully whether you can withstand the punishment of the Shenxing Division! Moreover, I saw that you were bullying..." The emperor really He couldn't remember the name of the people in the Li palace, so he could only say: "Low-ranking concubines, I don't need any evidence at all to ask you to death!"
This is not the previous dynasty. He can't kill ministers casually. The women in the harem are all his concubines. Except for those in high and low positions, he can kill whoever he wants. No one in the previous dynasty will say anything.
Perhaps the emperor's last words were too lethal. Song Jieyu and Cao Guiren stopped arguing, so the emperor dragged them down a piece of white silk.
As for the maids who followed and bullied the Li palace people, they were not so dignified. The emperor had them pulled down and beaten to death with sticks.
These people used to be very arrogant when they followed Song Jieyu and Cao Guiren to bully others. Now they knew they regretted it and cried and begged for mercy, but what was the use? Soon these words were heard outside the palace. People screamed repeatedly. Song Jieyu and Cao Guiren were still alive at this moment. The emperor ordered the eunuchs to take them over to watch the execution.
Seeing the miserable condition of the maids under their command, Song Jieyu and Cao Guiren's faces turned pale with fright. At this time, they didn't know if they regretted having followed Liu Concubine to bully others all these years.
Regardless of whether they regret it or not, after all, they helped Liu Bin do those things and ended up like this. Naturally, they were not willing to let the two of them die. They wanted to kill Liu Bin and Liu Bin's other losers. Pulled them into trouble, but because the emperor didn't want to hear them anymore The words blocked their mouths, so they didn't have time to confess Liu Concubine. When they heard that the emperor came to their palace and something happened in their palace, they quickly came from behind and saw that Song Jieyu and Cao Guiren were arrested. Liu Bin, who was originally frightened, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that something would happen if she was bitten by these people.
However, in addition to Song Jieyu and Cao Guiren, there were other low-ranking concubines in the palace. It would not be easy to handle if these people reported her to the emperor.
But it doesn't matter. She didn't get caught by the emperor, so she just didn't admit it. The emperor didn't have evidence, so he could at most reprimand her or demote her status. He probably wouldn't kill her.
Thinking of this, Liu Bin calmed down.
The next development was just as Liu Bin thought. Someone wanted to take this opportunity to report to the emperor that Liu Bin was making money. However, because the emperor did not catch the scene, there was no evidence. In addition, Some of Liu Bin's losers took stock of the situation and felt that Liu Bin might not be able to fall today and did not need to adapt to the situation, so they stood up to refute, saying that those people were jealous of Liu Bin and wanted to bite her randomly.
Because it was not a one-sided complaint against Liu Concubine, the emperor could not distinguish the situation, and then it was not easy to arrest all his concubines for interrogation in the Shenxing Department, so the complaint was dropped, so the emperor Just like Liu Bin thought, she just scolded Liu Bin. Then because of his poor control over his palace, it happened that a concubine in the palace under his jurisdiction cursed Concubine Li. Now it happened that Song Jieyu and Cao Guiren bullied the lower-ranking concubines. Concubine Liu was imprisoned for three months and fined. Three months' monthly payment and no other punishment for Liu Bin.
However, he also warned Liu Concubine that if there was a next time, her concubine position would be taken away. (End of this chapter)
