The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 421 The Court (3)

Zhao Guang stared and wanted to scold back, but he didn't want Jiang Ruan to open his mouth before him, and asked Jiang Quan, "I wonder who Jiang Shangshu is talking about?"

Jiang Quan didn't expect her to be so merciless when she said it, and immediately said angrily: "Facing my father's attitude like this, I don't know where I have learned etiquette!"

"Jiang Shangshu may have misremembered it." Jiang Ruan smiled: "The blood on half of my body yesterday has been paid off, and I have nothing to do with Shangshufu. Where did my father come from?"

Jiang Quan was at a loss for words, everyone recalled how Jiang Ruan cut open the back of his hand with a sword in the snow yesterday, Jiang Quan's old face flushed red.The face that was always elegantly held was actually a bit distorted.

"Silence!" The master who opened the hall sang in a long voice, the guards on both sides stood silently, and the judge Sun Xu, who was dressed in a government suit, walked in with big strides, and he sat down on the high seat in the center.Sweeping down, he handed the certificate to the master beside him.The master took the petition, cleared his throat, and loudly read the contents of the petition alone.

The content of the complaint is how Xia Yan and Xia's family murdered Zhao Mei's mother and son, including the ambush against Jiang Xinzhi in the woods, and those vicious methods when they were young, which made people's hearts jump.And Jiang Quan's indifferent attitude in the complaint also surprised everyone. It is not uncommon for rich families to have intrigues like this. Generally ignore and let go.That master is also a character, this petition was written to make people feel angry, and he also read it in a cadence full of emotions.The men in the Zhijiao crowd rolled up their sleeves and wanted to rush in and beat up Jiang Quan immediately, while the women wiped away their tears vigorously with handkerchiefs.

Although Zhao Guang and the three brothers of the Zhao family knew that Zhao Mei's life in the Shangshu Mansion was not good for a long time, but now they read out the statement one by one, which made them feel worried.There is no one in the world who understands more than Jiang Ruan how painful and dangerous Zhao Mei's mother and son lived in Jiang's mansion. Because of her serious writing, the more Zhao family listened to it, the more angry they became. I can't wait to rush over and kill Jiang Quan immediately.

Jiang Quan frowned, and now everyone here did not look at him with any kindness, and he became the target of public criticism. He didn't know when Jiang Ruan would have such influence.Sun Xu's temperament has been known to his colleagues for many years, and he is especially respectful and humble when facing Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan has such ability?The original confidence had been replaced by uneasiness at some point, and Jiang Quan's expression was no longer as confident as before.

The previous crimes in the complaint were attempted in the end, but at the end of the reading, the topic changed and it talked about Zhao Mei's poisoning.It was clearly written in the complaint that Xia Yan was responsible for the poison, and Jiang Quan was the accomplice, because he knew it but stood by and even encouraged it secretly!
After reading the complaint, Jiang Quan couldn't help standing up angrily and said: "Nonsense! Nonsense! What poisoning? I didn't let anyone poison her at all? Zhao Mei died of illness. How can you slander and accuse her?" Me!" While he hated Jiang Ruan, he even hated Zhao Mei who passed away early.I just feel that everything started from Zhao Mei.

Zhao Guang stood up from his seat all of a sudden, and said angrily, "Jiang Quan, do you think I dare not kill you here?" He could scare a child into tears at a glance, but he was really angry at this moment, the bloodthirsty momentum rushed towards his face, Jiang Quan trembled, and suddenly swallowed what he wanted to say.

A trace of disdain flashed in Zhao Yuanping's eyes, and he said with a light smile, "Shangshu Jiang, why are you so anxious? You haven't been convicted yet, maybe things will turn around. If you really want to complain, you might as well wait until the last moment."

There was a faint chill in these words, and Zhijiao couldn't help but tremble in his heart.Jiang Quanzheng wanted to speak, but he heard Jiang Ruan's smiling voice: "Not only that, I have evidence, Jiang Shangshu, anyway, please ask Mr. Sun to read the evidence before we talk about it."

Jiang Quan was surprised, he didn't expect Jiang Ruan to have evidence.After all, so many years have passed, he thought that Jiang Ruan would not be able to make any big waves even if he uncovered the old things. What would be the final result of the old case without evidence?But as soon as Jiang Ruan talked about the evidence, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but he still insisted on saying: "What are you making up?"

Sun Xu slapped the gavel and shouted, "Bring witnesses!"

The subordinates quickly brought up the so-called witness. It was a thin young woman, and she could be called handsome when she looked carefully, but she didn't know why she looked a little haggard. Appearance looks older than age.When Jiang Quan saw it, he sneered and said mockingly: "I don't know this person. You are a witness, so you have to invite someone from Shangshu's mansion."

The woman raised her head when she heard the words, and said in a hoarse voice: "After a long time, the master doesn't recognize the servant, but the servant still recognizes the master."

Jiang Quan was startled, and looked at the woman carefully. After looking at the woman for a long time, he said in surprise, "Are you... Butterfly?"

Butterfly smiled lightly: "It's hard for the master to remember the slaves."

"Why are you here?" Jiang Quan pointed at her trembling hand. He had heard about Jiang Susu's expulsion of Butterfly. The confusion between the car and the miscarried boy in the mansion ruined Jiang Susu's reputation and made Jiang Susu frightened. It would not be an exaggeration to beat such a maid to death.It's just that Jiang Susu had already sold her out. Jiang Quan thought that such a maid had died long ago, but he didn't know why she appeared here.

Butterfly smiled, but that smile was a bit weird, and a trace of hatred flashed across her eyes when she looked at Jiang Quan: "The servants came here because they couldn't bear the condemnation of their conscience, and they came here in person to serve the innocent Mrs. The eldest young master and eldest lady testified."

"Nonsense!" Jiang Quan's face turned blue when he heard the words: "What are you talking about?" He turned his head to look at Jiang Ruan who was smiling slightly, and suddenly realized: "What benefits did she give you, you want to So slandering me? Butterfly, do you know how serious the crime is for slandering a court official?"

Jiang Quan seemed to have lost his mind, but the people in the hall were watching intently, including the judge Sun Xu. The more Jiang Quan jumped the wall in a panic, the more ugly he would be.Sun Xu had been managed by someone beforehand, seeing that Jiang Ruan and the Zhao family were happy, naturally he would not obstruct it.

Facing Jiang Quan's frantic questioning, Butterfly shook her head and said, "Missy didn't give me any favors, the master knows what he did, why bother to make such an innocent gesture? Knowing that there is a definite number in the dark, and people are doing things, the sky is watching, and when doing things, they should think of the day when the Dongchuang incident happened."
