Chapter 423 Secret (3)
Zhao Guang glared at him and wanted to scold him, but Jiang Ruan spoke first and asked Jiang Quan, "I don't know who Jiang Shangshu is talking about?"
Jiang Quan did not expect that she would be so merciless as soon as she said that, and immediately said angrily: "Faced with such an attitude from her father, I don't know where to learn etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame!"
"Shangshu Jiang may have remembered it wrong." Jiang Ruan smiled: "The blood in half of his body was paid off yesterday. I have no relationship with the Shangshu Mansion anymore. Where did my father come from?"
Jiang Quan was speechless, and everyone recalled yesterday when Jiang Ruan took a dagger in the snow and decisively cut open the back of his hand. Jiang Quan's old face turned red. The face that had always been elegantly held showed a bit of distortion.
"Silent!" The master who started the hall sang a long voice. The guards on both sides stood silently. Sun Xu, a judge in the government, walked in with great strides. He sat down on the high seat in the center. He glanced down and handed the prosecutor to the master on the side. The master took the prosecutor, cleared his throat, and loudly stayed alone in the complaint.
The content of the complaint is how Xia Yan and the Xia family conspired to murder Zhao Mei and his son, including the ambush of Jiang Xinzhi in the woods, and the vicious means of childhood, which made people frightened. Jiang Quan's indifference in the complaint also surprised everyone. Such intrigues by wealthy families are not uncommon. The rare ones are Jiang Ruan and Jiang Xinzhi, as the legitimate son and daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and Jiang Quan's biological bones are so ignorant. The master is also a character. This letter is written in anger, and he is also full of emotions. The man in the crowd rolls up his sleeves and wants to rush in and beat Jiang Quan immediately, while the woman wipes her tears with a veil.
Although Zhao Guang and the three brothers of the Zhao family had known that Zhao Mei had not lived well in the Shangshu Mansion, they were worried now that the words were read one by one. No one in the world knew better than Jiang Ruan how painful and dangerous Zhao Mei and her son lived in the Jiang Mansion. Because of her serious writing, the Zhao family became more angry the more they heard it. They were so eager to rush over and kill Jiang Quan immediately.
Jiang Quan frowned. Now everyone's eyes looked at him without any kindness. He became the target of public criticism. He didn't know when Jiang Ruan had such influence. His colleagues knew Sun Xu's temperament for many years. When facing Jiang Ruan, his subordinates were respectful and humble, and Jiang Ruan actually had such ability? His original confidence was replaced by uneasiness. Jiang Quan's expression was no longer as righteous as before.
The crimes in the complaint were attempted, but at the end of the day, the conversation changed and Zhao Mei was poisoned. The complaint clearly stated that the poison was at the Xia Academy, and Jiang Quan was the accomplice, because he knew it at all but stood by and even secretly encouraged and instigated!
After reading the complaint, Jiang Quan couldn't help but stand up and said, "All nonsense! Nonsense! What kind of poisoning, I didn't let anyone poison her? Zhao Mei died of illness. How could you slander me?" While he was angry with Jiang Ruan, he even hated Zhao Mei, who passed away early. He felt that everything was caused by Zhao Mei.
Zhao Guang suddenly stood up from his seat and said angrily: "Jiang Quan, do you think I dare not take your life here?" He was a body of iron trained from the battlefield. He usually had to scare the child by blowing his beard and glaring at him. At this moment, he was really angry. The bloodthirsty aura came to his face. Jiang Quan shivered, and suddenly swallowed what he wanted to say.
A trace of disdain flashed in Zhao Yuanping's eyes and he chuckled: "What's the matter in a hurry? I haven't convicted you yet. Maybe things will turn around. If you really want to complain, you might as well wait until the last moment."
The words were filled with a faint chill, which made people's hearts tremble. Jiang Quanzheng wanted to speak, but only heard Jiang Ruan's smile coming: "Not only that, I have evidence. Shangshu Jiang, please ask Lord Sun to see the evidence first."
Jiang Quan was shocked. He did not expect that Jiang Ruan would have evidence. After all, so many years have passed. He thought that even if Jiang Ruan found out old things, he would not cause any big storm. What results could be achieved in the end? But as soon as Jiang Ruan said the evidence, he couldn't help but feel guilty, but he still said, "What are you making up for? "
Sun Xu slapped the gavel and shouted: "Bring a witness!"
The subordinate quickly brought the so-called witness up. He was a thin young woman. She looked very handsome when she looked carefully. But for some reason, she looked a little haggard. Perhaps because of life, she actually made her look older than her. Jiang Quan sneered and mocked, "I don't know this person. Even if you are a witness, you must hire someone from the Shangshu Mansion."
The woman raised her head and said hoarsely, "After a long time, the master did not recognize me, but I still recognize me."
Jiang Quan was shocked and looked at the woman carefully. After looking at her for a long time, he was surprised and said, "Are you... a butterfly?"
Butterfly smiled faintly: "It's hard for the master to remember me."
"Why are you here?" Jiang Quan pointed at her and couldn't help but tremble. He had heard of Jiang Susu's expelling butterflies. As a maid, he didn't do anything seriously. He mixed up the Zihe cart bought in the pharmacy with the male fetus in the mansion, which ruined Jiang Susu's reputation, which made Jiang Susu shocked. It would not be an exaggeration to beat such a maid to death. However, Jiang Susu had already sold her at the beginning. Jiang Quan thought that such a maid would die long ago, but he didn't know why she appeared here.
Butterfly smiled, but the smile was a little strange. A hint of hatred flashed in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Quan: "I will come here, of course because I can't stand the condemnation of my conscience, and came to testify for the innocent Lady and the eldest son and the eldest son."
"Nonsense!" Jiang Quan's face turned blue when he heard this: "What are you talking about?" He turned to look at Jiang Ruan who was smiling slightly, and suddenly realized: "What benefits did she give you? You actually want to slander me like this? Butterfly, do you know how much guilt is for slandering the imperial officials?"
Jiang Quan seemed to have lost his mind, but the people in the hall watched leisurely, including Si Punishment Sun Xu. The more he was panicked, the more he could show his ugly appearance. Sun Xu had been in charge of others in advance, and seeing how happy Jiang Ruan and the Zhao family were, naturally he would not obstruct him.
