Chapter 217 Long live personal trial
Just now, Grandpa An found Mu Lanzhi and told her to take medicine to understand, and told her a lot of rules, what to say and what not to say. Mulan's guess was that Concubine de asked for her. She wanted to embarrass the father-in-law more. For a while, she thought that the maid's clothes were really awkward on her and strongly requested to change back her clothes. For a while, the etiquette was completely messy, which really made Grandpa An's brain trouble. Grandpa An had no choice but to lift out Qin Manxiu. As soon as he heard that Manxiu was also involved, Mu Lanzhi became really anxious and did not pester with Grandpa An. Now he hurried to the hall with Grandpa An.
Entering the door, Mu Lanzhi first saw the shackles on Manxiu's hands and feet. Her first reaction was to rush to see Man Xiu, "Brother Qin, have you been injured? Have they embarrassed you?"
Everyone sneered at it. As a wild girl, she didn't even know how to kneel down first when she saw the emperor, but she cared about a dying person.
Manxiu smiled at Mu Lanzhi and gave her another wink. Mulan immediately knelt down to the emperor, "Grasman Mulanzhi, see the emperor."
If Defei hadn't said that she was a girl, the emperor would not have anything to do with the "her" in front of him. From head to toe, he was dressed as a boy, and even called him "grass people" instead of "people's women". His voice was not gentle, but masculine everywhere. However, with the handsome man who is kneeling next to him, there is no very discord, but it is very natural.
"Your name is Mu Lanzhi?" The arrival of Mu Lanzhi diverted the emperor's attention from Man Xiu. Perhaps the emperor also guessed that even if he asked Man Xiu, Man Xiu would think of a big pair of words, but he would not tell the complete truth, so he decided not to waste time and directly focused the problem on Mu Lanzhi.
"To the emperor, yes!"
"Do you still have a family?"
"Grassman also has a father, called Mu Feng."
"Oh? Where is he now?"
"After Cao Min entered the palace, he was separated from his father. I don't know where he is now."
"So you have always lived with Chen Tao?"
"Chen Tao?" Mu Lan was stunned, "Do you dare to ask the emperor if it is Brother Qin?"
The emperor came to his senses, yes, Chen Tao is his fake name. His name is Qin Manxiu. As soon as he went to the hall, didn't Mu Lanzhi ask him about his situation in a hurry, and the name was also "Brother Qin"?
"Yes, Qin Manxiu."
"Yes. In the past two years, Caomin and Caomin's father have lived with him.
"I heard that there is another person living with you."
"The emperor, that is the original owner of the deep mountain hut. I'm bothered by going to stay overnight. The master has lived in the mountains for a long time and does not know the identity of the grass people. Man Xiu hurriedly got rid of Yuan Fei's relationship and could no longer implicate people in. His life is now a matter of the emperor's words, and now he is implicated by Mu Feng's father and daughter. In case he hurts a few more lives again, how can he feel?
"Oh?" The emperor looked at Qin Manxiu kneeling below doubtlessly, and at the same time, the fleeting surprise and worry in Mulan's eyes were also seen. Although he admired Qin Manxiu and was reluctant to kill him, he did not think that he should be punished. He escaped from the barracks, pretended to be an eunuch and entered the palace, and played the piano for Defei to bully you. Now he still dares to lie. No matter what Qin Manxiu's starting point is, he should be punished! And the way of punishment... The emperor looked at the materials on hand except for the sea arrest document.
"You just said that your father and daughter lived with him for two years. What is your relationship with him? Why did you choose to live in the deep mountains again? The emperor put down the materials at hand and continued to calmly ask Mulan's way.
"When I returned to the emperor, the people called Brother Qin as the eldest brother. Naturally, it is a brotherly relationship. Oh, brother and sister... As for choosing to live in the deep mountains, the mountains are quiet, suitable for people to live in, and no one has disturbed."
What Mu Lanzhi said is true, and it is true. If possible, she even wants to stay out of the deep mountains forever and be with her brother Qin forever.
"Do you know that he was a soldier in the Qinfeng Road barracks in Shaanxi, under the disguised Chen Tao?"
"I don't know when I return to the emperor."
"I don't know?"
"Yes, I don't know."
Manxiu began to celebrate Mu Lanzhi's cleverness. Fortunately, she answered that she didn't know, otherwise it must be a crime of concealing and not repaying.
"Then how did your father and daughter meet him?"
"When I returned to the emperor, I met him by chance. I didn't expect to meet him."
What Mulanzhi said is also true. She and Mu Feng originally wanted to steal a legendary night pearl from Xinyuan, but they didn't expect that Xinyuan's guards were so strict that they easily found a weak link - the kitchen and saw the long-lost Qin Manxiu. But every time she thinks of this, Mu Lanzhi's heart will be very painful. She will never forget the unhuman appearance of Man Xiu being tortured, and she will never forget the scene where Uncle Yuan spent his real energy to take out the chain for Man Xiu, and Man Xiu also fainted several times. And all this comes from Zhou Xinran, the owner of Xinyuan.
"Did you meet by chance? Where is it? Was he wearing a military uniform at that time?
"Your Majesty, it's in Shaanxi. I can't remember exactly where the people are. He was wearing sackcloth at that time." Mulan's words were not timid at all. Every sentence answered the emperor, but every sentence was ambiguous, which made it difficult for the emperor to grasp for a moment.
"When I go back to the emperor, she doesn't remember, but my daughter remembers."
Zhou Xinran, you finally can't help it! Manxiu did not move, and the wind was still light. He only saw that Zhou Xinran dared not say that it was Chen Tao, the suspect she had robbed. However, I don't think so. Zhou Xinran will never foolishly lead himself in when harming others.
"Oh? It turned out to be Miss Zhou. Do you remember?"
"Yes, I remember. Because the place where they met is in the court lady's Beiyuan, Xinyuan.
"Oh?"
"To the emperor, this female Mu Lanzhi and her father Mu Feng were originally from the holy hand incense hall in the world, and her father Mu Feng was the owner of the holy hand incense hall. And the so-called Holy Hand Fragrant Hall, to put it bluntly, is a place where stolen children gather. I don't have any skills, but I steal everywhere for a living.
"What did you say!" Mu Lanzhi didn't like Zhou Xinran's, and immediately became a little anxious. However, she was immediately grabbed by the man Xiu next to her. Long live, he didn't dare to make too much. Mu Lanzhi swallowed this breath abruptly.
"What, is there anything wrong with what I said? Your father and daughter stole things from my house and burned my Xinyuan. Should this account be calculated?
"Evidence, what about the evidence? You said that I stole something and I stole it. You said I set it on fire, so I said you killed someone, that is, you killed it?"
"You don't have to talk to me here. My men robbed your father's same belongings when they were fighting with you. What, didn't he tell you? Still afraid of being too shameful, a hall owner failed to retreat and was unmounted.
"Nonsense, my father doesn't have it!" Although Mu Lanzhi said so, she was a little guilty. Because since I saw Mu Feng, I have never seen his personal dagger, which is engraved with Mu Feng's name.
"If you don't believe it, you can go back and ask him. Today is a palace banquet, and I didn't expect to see you, so the object is now in my house. If you are interested, you can go and recognize it. You can not admit it, but once you want to take it back, I will have to investigate the responsibility of stealing things and burning Xinyuan that night.
Mu Lanzhi had to admit that Zhou Xinran was indeed better than her in quickly grasping other people's weaknesses and attacking them in a quick and effective way. With a few words, he forced Mulan to death and could not turn over. Fortunately, Zhou Xinran did not intend to pursue the responsibility of his father and daughter for stealing things and burning Xinyuan. Just suppress her with words and continue her other statement.
"They are stealths, how can they meet Qin Manxiu in your garden? Could it be that Qin Manxiu is also on the same path with them?
"To the emperor, although Qin Manxiu is on the same road with them, he is not a thief, but a slave in the court lady's family."
"Don't talk nonsense here!"
"If the emperor asks questions, how dare you shout, don't you look down on the emperor?"
Mu Lanzhi was furious, but Man Xiu quietly pulled her sleeve, signaling her not to be angry and not to pay attention to what Zhou Xinran said.
"Evidence, what about the evidence?"
Man Xiu clearly remembered that Mu Lanzhi stole the contract with fingerprints at that time, together with his precious golden hairpin and peach blossom purse, Man Xiu did not hold the handle in Zhou Xinran's hand. Even if Zhou Xinran gathered the original servants of Xinyuan to testify for her, it was all one-sided words. After all, the word "servile" on his face disappeared as early as with the help of Uncle Yuan.
In that fire, Qin Manxiu in Xinyuan was dead.
Evidence? Do you mean that contract? Do you think I have no choice if you stole the contract at that time? Don't you know that all slaves are slaves, right?
At this time, Man Xiu and Mu Lanzhi were speechless. They had never heard of slavery. Wait, it shouldn't be Zhou Xinran who made it up and cobbled them, right?
"Lord Yu, are you responsible for managing slaves? But is there such a thing? At this time, the emperor also seemed to be interested in helping Zhou Xinran and asked.
"Return to the emperor, although there are many slaves, General Zhou's mansion seems to be the only one. Just now, Miss Zhou also entrusted the subordinate to find the slave status of this slave. The subordinate has ordered someone to take it. It must take half a moment to present it to Long Live."
Manxiu was shocked that Zhou Xinran did such a great job that he didn't leave a way out for himself! No wonder she was so tough when she spoke to herself just now, and Yang was righteous!
What should he do if he is really a slave? Xinyuan, which easily escaped, has been recuperated for two years. Did he come back to fall into purgatory again? What should I do? What should he do?
"Lord Yu remembers the only slave in General Zhou's mansion, so he should also remember the reason why he was a slave?"
"H Long live the return. When I first applied for slavery, it was the responsibility of Shaanxi officials, but the subordinates did not do it. However, after Miss Zhou entered Beijing, her slaves also transferred to the capital, so the subordinates had seen it. The servant vaguely remembered that the slave's father had committed the great crime of betraying the enemy and had pleaded guilty to the law. But he and his mother have disappeared since then, and now they have reappeared. They have to be held joint and severally responsible for it, so they were made a slave.
"Oh? Sell the country with the enemy? Such a great crime is only to sentence his family to be a slave, and it's really cheap for them!"
As soon as the emperor said this, he couldn't help but feel awe. He was not afraid that the emperor would sentence him to death, but touched the bottom line of his defense of his father.
