Chapter 269 Awakening
Jingzhao Yin glanced at the third young lady and glared at Zhou Qing with dignity.
"Zhou Qing, what else do you have to say!"
Zhou Qing said, "Then what do you mean by the adults is that this case has been clarified?"
Jingzhao Yin looked displeased, "I just asked, what else do you have to say? As for how I will judge the case, I will naturally follow the law!"
Zhou Qing said, "I still have something to say."
After that, Zhou Qing turned to look at Sun, "Since Honglian said that she and Sun met at the door of Zhenpinxuan, then I want to ask Sun, why did you come to Zhenpinxuan?"
"Of course I came to buy things, but I didn't expect to meet you!" Sun said with gritted teeth.
She really hated Zhou Qing.
"Buy things? The cheapest things in Zhenpinxuan cost thousands of taels, where did you get the silver?"
Sun glared, "Where did I get the silver? Of course I have it, my eldest grandson"
Before Sun finished speaking, the third young lady of Duankangbo's mansion coughed.
Sun immediately stopped talking and looked at her.
The Third Miss said slowly, "Of course I am honoring her."
Sun was stunned for a moment, then realized that she almost said the wrong thing, and quickly agreed, "Yes!"
Zhou Qing glanced at the Third Miss, and then said, "Okay, the Third Miss is thoughtful and knows how to honor her elders. The Third Miss is so caring about Zhou Yuan's grandmother, how can she be unfilial to her own father?
Duan Kangbo left the shadows, and it is said that his life is hanging by a thread.
He left just last night, why is the Third Miss in the mood to come to the treasure today? Xuan bought something.
Aren't filial children supposed to wait on the sick at the bedside?
Or is it that Duan Kangbo's situation is far worse than what the Empress Dowager said was on the verge of death.
That's why you, Miss San, have the leisure to come to Zhenpinxuan!"
Miss San's face suddenly turned cold, "This has nothing to do with this case!"
"Yes, this has nothing to do with this case, then Miss San, can you tell me what you asked Honglian to buy at Zhenpinxuan?"
After saying that, Zhou Qing suddenly stood up, rushed behind Honglian, and quickly covered Honglian's ears.
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
Jingzhao Yin directly slammed the gavel, "You are so presumptuous!"
Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Jingzhao Yin.
"You should have asked about this matter, but you never asked. I feel uneasy and I am afraid that they will collude with each other, so I can only do this. Otherwise, you can interrogate them separately now, and I don't have to be so presumptuous in court."
"You! How can you give orders when I am trying a case? Let go of Honglian! How could the third lady of Duankangbo's mansion collude with Honglian!"
"How do you know she won't?"
"Of course I trust the third lady's character!"
"Since when did the government rely on the character of the person instead of the evidence?" Zhou Qing looked at Jingzhao Yin aggressively, and his eyes were completely different from the submissiveness just now.
After that, before Jingzhao Yin could react, he said to Miss San: "Tell me what you asked her to buy, tell me quickly, and I will let her go immediately.
This is not embarrassing you.
You better not embarrass me."
Honglian was covered by Zhou Qing's ears, and she tried desperately to struggle free, but she was a pampered maid, how could she be as strong as Zhou Qing, who was born as a peasant girl.
Miss San glared at Zhou Qing angrily, and Jingzhao Yin slammed the table and stood up, "Come here, take this troublesome citizen to me!"
Immediately, a yamen runner stepped forward.
Zhou Qing stared at Miss San.
"So, Jingzhao Yin was not going to hold court today, but because the Third Miss's words were comparable to the court rules, he made an exception and held court.
So, now you can prove your innocence and prove that I am framing you by just telling me what you asked Honglian to buy, but you just don't say it.
You are just waiting for Jingzhao Yin to arrest me, right?"
Jingzhao Yin originally thought that Zhou Qing was born a peasant girl, and although she was going to marry Shen Li, she was not very knowledgeable.
Even the daughters of the wealthy officials in Kyoto would be afraid when they came to the government office, and some were even scared to panic, let alone Zhou Qing.
As long as they were threatened, the case would be over.
Not only did he close the case, but he also saved the Third Miss's face. Everyone knew that the Third Miss was the apple of Duan Kangbo's eye, and was favored by the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and the Queen Mother had always been fond of her.
Who would have thought that Zhou Qing was so bold!
He did such a thing in court!
Of course he didn't dare to really arrest Zhou Qing.
If he was caught, that would harm the Third Young Lady.
It was a minor case, but it became a major case when it went to Shadow.
What to do now!
In an instant, Jingzhao Yin felt that his hairline had moved back.
However, the yamen runners who rushed to catch Zhou Qing had already caught him like a fool, and he couldn't stop them, after all, he had just called for someone to catch him.
Jingzhao Yin looked at a servant at the front of the crowd.
He knew that this person belonged to Shen Li.
Why didn't he rush forward to save Zhou Qing?
The servant stood at the front of the crowd, folded his arms and watched the show, smiling at Jingzhao Yin.
Jingzhao Yin's brain suddenly exploded.
Damn it!
Could he have been plotted against?
God!
Wait, don't panic.
Even if he was plotted against, his biggest mistake today was to open the yamen when he shouldn't have, and if this mistake was seriously discussed, he could blame Shen Li.
Just say that he couldn't afford to offend Shen Li and was afraid of causing trouble for himself, so he opened the court.
After all, Zhou Qing was the plaintiff.
Yes, yes, that's what he said!
Taking a deep breath, Jingzhao Yin calmed down after a transition from heaven to man.
He still looked at Zhou Qing with dignity, and slapped the table with his hand, "Zhou Qing, do you know your crime! You disturbed the court in public, deliberately sabotaged my judgment, and even attacked the witnesses in court!"
Zhou Qing let go of Honglian, did not respond to Jingzhao Yin's words, and just looked at Miss San.
"So, until now, Miss San has not said what you asked Honglian to buy!"
Zhou Qing let the official escort him, and said loudly: "This is our Jingzhao Yin under the mirror! The magic of judgment! No trial, no investigation, no questioning! Judge the case based on trust in character!
Being convicted by such a wise lord, I, Zhou Qing, have nothing to say."
The crowd watching outside was in an uproar.
Jingzhao Yin stared at Zhou Qing in amazement.
He had a bad premonition that Zhou Qing came today not for Miss San or Sun, but for him.
Zhou Qing expected that he would favor Miss San, so.
Is Zhou Qing going to use this case to hold him? !
Why!
At this moment, the third lady also realized something. She quickly glanced at Jingzhao Yin, then stood up and took a few steps forward, "Sir, wait a minute!"
After a pause, the third lady of Duankangbo Mansion turned to the crowd outside.
"I did ask Honglian to go to Zhenpinxuan to buy things today, but this does not mean that Honglian did not collude with Sun to humiliate Miss Zhou."
After saying that, the third lady of Duankangbo Mansion turned again and knelt down to Jingzhao Yin, "Sir, I can understand Zhou Qing's presumptuous behavior just now. If it were me, I might also be reckless, after all, it concerns my own reputation."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Qing again.
