Chapter 182 Li Wang was sent to investigate the case
Everyone was silent for a moment. Most of the ministers in the court naturally looked down on prostitutes. These women were just toys for adults. They were laughing in brothels, and they tasted red lips, but there was no morality at all.
How can such a woman be used as testimony?
Su Yiyi's body trembled for a moment. She finally arrived in the capital. She was determined to die and beat the drum of the sound of the sound of the sound of the emperor. Her final hope was to meet with the emperor and tell her injustice.
Now, I only get such a sentence.
She raised her head in despair and looked around. The courtiers raised their heads high, and no one gave her any signs of her eyes, as if she was afraid of staining her eyes.
At this time, another minister stood up and said, "Mr. Geng is right. A prostitute can even sell her body for money. Her words are not trustworthy!"
Another minister also said: "The two lords are right. There are many benefactors in brothels. According to what the woman said, she is still a courtesan in the building. I guess she has some tricks, so how could she be infatuated with a single person who can't even get the money for redeeming her.
The poor scholar, I think this woman is probably planning something else to make up stories!”
The other ministers agreed: "Yes, I suspect that this woman was sent by someone with a heart!"
"Your Majesty, this woman's words are not credible. For the bandits, the court needs to send officials to find out the truth again!"
......
The court was noisy, but the emperor was silent, with a profound expression and could not see his attitude.
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Su Yiyi's lips, and she showed hatred in her eyes, ready to hit her directly on the pillars of the hall to show her determination.
The officials of the Sixth Prince and his sect saw that the trend was one-sided, but the emperor did not refute and could not sit still.
A minister immediately stood up: "I don't agree with what Lord Geng said!"
Su Yiyi was stunned for a moment, feeling a little excited.
The man continued: "Although Miss Su is a prostitute, she is not willing to do so. Besides, she dared to beat the drum and was punished by the thirty rods. It can be seen that her heart is tenacious. I think she is telling the truth."
Lord Geng sneered: "Mr. Chen, this is wrong. She said she was abducted, is that true? If she really doesn't want to be a prostitute, why don't she run out of the brothel directly?"
Su Yiyi's eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to defend herself, but she was really hard to say it.
Haven't you ever tried to escape? Before the hairpin, she was kept in the brothel by the madam, and she didn't have any money on her body. She once successfully ran out, but in the vast crowd, she was a beautiful and weak person.
The woman had nowhere to go, so she thought of going to the county government office, hoping to find her relatives, but was sent back to the brothel by the official.
She still remembers the madam smiling and said to the official officer: "Official, thank you very much. When this girl is sprouted, she will let the official officer and his brothers taste the sweetness~"
Later, she was tortured and beaten by unwilling to recall. The madam told her that she would be directly humiliated to death after running away again.
Later, she was forced to pick up customers every day, and tried to escape again. Before she could run away, she was exposed by the maid around her. All the money she had saved secretly was handed over by the maid: "Oh, I love you and spoil you, but you don't.
Remember me well, then I will make you suffer some trouble!”
In those days, her guests were either the kind of people with special hobbies, or a group of inferior people saved up money, and she couldn't get out of bed for a month after being tortured, and she felt as if she was so sad that she could only stop running away.
When Mr. Chen saw Su Yiyi's face full of shame and anger, he glanced impatiently, but continued: "Mr. Geng's words are probably difficult to justify themselves! You said that Su Yiyi's words are false, and the evidence cannot be based on your own judgment.
, just overturn all her words!”
Another minister also said: "I also think that Su Yiyi's words are true. For the courtesan, the most important thing is her face. However, in order not to receive customers, Su Yiyi was willing to scratch her face. For a
The brothel woman said that she would ruin her life."
Lord Geng retorted disdainfully: "It's ridiculous! Did she say she was the one who drew it herself? Maybe she was ugly, and even the matter of the courtesan is fabricated?"
Lord Chen said calmly: "Since Lord Geng is stubborn, you can send someone to the brothel to investigate. I think if Su Yiyi is lying, it will be too easy to be exposed!"
Someone else suggested: "I believe that officials should be sent to the village that Su Yiyi mentioned to investigate the matter again. If there is really a case of killing good people and making achievements, they should be punished more severely."
"I'm going to discuss it!"
The emperor looked at the bottom and almost divided into two groups of people, which was annoying.
He looked at the Taifu: "I wonder if Taifu, do you think Su Yiyi's words are credible?"
Everyone looked at the Taifu. His daughter Ji Qianxue was the future third prince's concubine and was likely to stand on the side of the third prince.
The tutor bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, nothing can be concluded before verification. Since Miss Su has beaten the drum, she will always have to give an explanation. I believe that two groups of people will be sent to suppress the attack.
The bandits are responsible for verifying the affairs of that year."
The emperor nodded: "As far as the Grand Tutor said, come here, take Su Yiyi down first, arrange a residence in the palace, and then stop after the investigation results are completed."
Su Yiyi thanked the emperor with gratitude, and then was taken down by the palace servants.
The emperor thought about it and finally called Si Moli: "The verification matter will be left to you."
Si Moli nodded and set off that day with her people.
Before leaving, he sent someone to bring news to Shen Qingyun and briefly explained what happened in the court. When the man came back, he brought back a small letter from Shen Qingyun. After Si Moli read it,
I couldn't help but smile and put the letter into the clothes on my chest.
When they arrived in Pingde County, they first found the brothel where Su Yiyi had been, but there was already a ruin.
The person next to him said, "Hey, sir, this place accidentally caught fire a few days ago, and all the people inside were burned to death. That scream was heard from several streets. I am afraid the person the adults are looking for.
It's gone."
The guard took out Su Yiyi's portrait: "Then do you recognize this girl? Have you ever been the courtesan here?"
The man smiled awkwardly and waved his hand: "Sir, I am a good citizen and I don't recognize any courtesans."
The guard frowned and walked to Si Moli to shake his head at him: "Prince, this is a brothel. Even if the fire broke out at night, how could no one escape? It seems that we were coming too late."
Si Moli didn't say anything and walked into the ruins with the guards. The place was already burning out.
