Chapter 414 Extra 05 False Accusation (Second Update)

Everyone else in the palace also knew that Pei Linye's words were actually meant for them. He was telling them that Concubine Yang had suffered a little, but her life was not in danger, and the new emperor had no intention of killing her.

Gu Jue tapped the index finger of his left hand on the armrest twice casually, and said to Concubine Yang who was lying on the stretcher: "Concubine, you can say it now."

Concubine Yang: “…”

After being punished for thirty years, Concubine Yang's mood was completely different from before. How confident and flamboyant she was before, she was now so nervous and fearful.

She was frightened by the solid thirty-year-old man, and she also had doubts about what that person said. At this moment, she had the idea of ​​retreating.

The man didn't say that she would be beaten. He kept saying that in order to protect the reputation of his emperor, Gu Jue would not order her to be beaten.

Previously, Concubine Yang also felt that what the other party said was reasonable. Three years ago, Anlehou got drunk at a palace banquet and went crazy. He behaved inappropriately before the king and should have been punished by twenty. However, in order to show his tolerance, the late Emperor Gu Lang gently Let it go.

While Tai Fei Yang was hesitating, she heard Gu Jue say again: "Don't you want to file a lawsuit against me? Why don't you sue?"

Gu Jue fanned his folding fan gracefully and casually, with a bit of interest and a bit of condescension in his expression.

At this moment, Princess Yang felt like a humble ant who could be easily crushed...

She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes bright and clear, and finally suppressed the trace of hesitation and fear.

Can't retreat.

She has already received thirty canes. If she retreats now, won't she receive this beating in vain and all her previous efforts be wasted? !

If you quit now, you won't be able to get back your wealth and your title, and you will become a joke in the capital!

Sue, how could you not sue? This imperial edict must be sued.

Having made up her mind, Concubine Yang weakly but firmly said: "I want to file a lawsuit."

Concubine Yang was lying on a stretcher on the ground. She couldn't see outside the palace. She didn't notice that several more figures appeared outside the palace. Two guards in royal robes and two men in rich clothes with similar looks were walking toward the Huagai Palace.

The four people standing in a row on the left side of the main hall, including Prince Li and the Minister of Punishment, saw it and quickly exchanged glances with unknown meaning.

Soon, two men in rich clothes walked under the eaves outside the main hall and walked in side by side.

The older one is in his mid-twenties, wearing purple straight clothes, has a handsome appearance, smiles before he speaks, and has an upright and free temperament; the younger one is in his mid-twenties, with very handsome features, but a slightly fatter figure and twinkling eyes. The uncertain look in his eyes made him appear not upright enough.

These brothers are Gu Jin and Yang Taifei's biological son Gu Ming.

"Your Majesty, please bring Gu Jin and Gu Ming." One of the guards with a mustache in Jinyi cupped his fists and said to Gu Jue.

Gu Jin's expression was magnanimous and generous, but there was a hint of anxiety in Gu Ming's description, especially when he found Concubine Yang lying weakly on the stretcher, the anxiety in his eyes became even stronger.

The mother-in-law was actually scolded by a stick. Could it be that...

Gu Ming lowered his eyes and looked at Concubine Yang with questioning eyes. Concubine Yang nodded slightly at him, which meant that everything was going as planned.

Gu Ming, however, could not rest assured. He stood beside Concubine Yang's stretcher anxiously, wondering why the new emperor announced his visit.

Concubine Yang became more determined because of her son's arrival. She swallowed and continued:

"When my wife wanted to sue her stepson Gu Jin for dividing the family, she bullied her younger brother and was unfilial to her stepmother. She was not an heir, but she took away 70% of the family property."

"I am accusing the queen of helping Gu Jin to bully orphans and widowed mothers because she is related to her."

"I'm telling you, Your Majesty, that you indulged the Queen and listened to one side of the story. Because of the Queen's words, my title in Jingjun Prince's Palace is still vacant."

She really hates it in her heart.

For the sake of her son Gu Mingchengjue, she submitted two papers. One was given by the late emperor Gu Lang when he was still alive, and the other was handed over to the new emperor after he ascended the throne. However, it had been more than two months since the new emperor ascended the throne. Please seal the fold with that message.

Obviously she had already distributed 70% of the family property to Gu Jin, but the new emperor still didn't give the title to Gu Ming. If that was the case, she would just beat the drum and complain about the unfair division of the family and the attack. Whether the title is fair or not, she wants to get back all the title and family property that should belong to Gu Ming.

Concubine Yang spoke with righteous indignation, her voice was low at first, and gradually became more and more forceful, as if she was pouring out all the anger and unwillingness she had felt during these days in these words.

It can be said that every word of blood and tears, and the sound of mournful moans, made the three candidates except the proclaimer feel sympathy for her.

The advocate frowned slightly, Mrs. Yang's words simply described the queen as a demon queen who brought harm to the country, and the new emperor was a monarch who was misled by beauty!

Gu Jue, who was sitting on the throne, listened excitedly, with a smile on his face, as if Mrs. Yang was just a bad actor on the stage, and this excellent singing and composition was just to amuse him.

Shen Qianchen only regarded Concubine Yang as a joke. When the other party said that Gu Jue indulged her, she couldn't help but laugh. She silently handed a cup of tea to Gu Jue's free left hand and blinked at him with a twinkling look in her eyes. .

Shen Qianchen never thought that she actually had the potential to become Su Daji. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she could not help but smile into Gu Jue's arms.

Should she say that Concubine Yang has "sightedness" or not?

Shen Qianchen wanted to laugh, but Prince Li was so angry that it was as if all the blood in his body was rushing to his head. His forehead was hot, his face was pale, and he was speechless for a moment.

Concubine Yang is so shameless!

Apart from anything else, when the family was divided, he, other royal family members and Gu Nanzhao were all present. The family was divided according to the rules. Because Gu Jin gave up his inheritance rights, Gu Ming became the heir as the youngest son. , so he shared 70% of the family property, but Gu Ming was in urgent need of money for some unknown reason that day and insisted on exchanging the property for cash.

Prince Li thought with his toes and knew that Gu Ming must have committed something before asking for cash, but he was too lazy to care or say anything.

Concubine Yang took a few breaths and continued to say angrily: "My wife is not convinced. Today, even if I am fighting for thirty years, I still want to ask the emperor to give my wife justice!"

When she said this last sentence, her eye circles suddenly turned red and she choked.

After Mrs. Yang finished speaking, Gu Jue put down the tea cup leisurely, with a faint smile still on his lips, and asked: "Have you finished talking? Have you forgotten that I was also present on the day of separation?"

She dared to add jealousy and make up nonsense in front of him. Gu Jue really didn't know whether to praise her for being bold or fearless.

Others may be misled by Princess Yang, but Gu Jue, Shen Qianchen and Prince Li were all present to witness the separation of the families at Jingjun Palace.

The Minister of Punishment, several other adults, and the four officials were astonished and confused, speculating on the meaning of Gu Jue's words. Is there any hidden secret behind the separation of the Jingjun Prince’s family? !

Concubine Yang: “…”

Concubine Yang was choked for a moment, her eyes flickered, she immediately cheered up and said firmly: "Yes, the emperor was also present that day. Your Majesty, didn't you go to the Prince's Mansion that day just to support Gu Jin?!"

Gu Jin could no longer laugh. He was so angry at Mrs. Yang's confusing words that his hands went cold and his teeth chattered.

He had a lot to say, but Jin Yiwei told him before he came. Now that Gu Jue didn't let him speak, he couldn't say it and could only endure it.

He was also afraid that if he talked too much, he would make mistakes, and if others got the handle, it would embarrass Shen Qianchen. Gu Jin had scruples in his heart, so he could bear it, but Prince Li couldn't bear it any longer. He angrily scolded Concubine Yang: "Ms. Yang, you talk nonsense and confuse right and wrong. Do you really think that this king is mute?!"

Prince Li did not call him younger brother or sister, but called him Yang in public, which shows that he was extremely angry.

Although he was filled with anger, he still remembered the occasion, and immediately clasped his hands to Gu Jue: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my disrespect in front of you."

Prince Li took two deep breaths, calmed down a lot, and continued in an orderly manner: "On the day the family was divided, according to the clan rules, the heirs were allocated the ancestral home and 70% of the property, and the remaining property was divided equally among the other shares. The **** gets an extra ten percent."

"There is a family separation document as evidence."

The documents for the division of the clan were all backed up with Prince Li. He had already prepared for entering the palace. He immediately took out a document from a wooden box in the hands of the chief attendant and gave it to the middle-aged chamberlain to present to Gu Jue.

Gu Jue quickly glanced at the family separation document and asked the middle-aged servant to hand it over to the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of Dali Temple and the Censor of Zuodu to read it one by one.

This family division document was written in great detail. It clearly stated the number of shops, villages, fields and other properties owned by the Prince of Jingjun, as well as the amount of cash. It also stated that Gu Ming was divided into 70% and Gu Jin was divided into 10%. Second, the former takes property and the latter takes cash.

When the family was divided, the value of the property was converted into cash. However, everyone knew that the property had a profit every year. Good properties were marketable but priceless. They could be found but not sought, and their value far exceeded that of cash.

The three adults all read it carefully and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the family separation document. It can be said that if the family is divided according to this document, the person who will suffer the loss will definitely be Gu Jin.

After a while, the document from the Wen family returned to Gu Jue's hand, and Gu Jue asked someone to take it to the four officials for a look.

The four people, including the advocate, were all surprised and somewhat flattered.

It was a great courtesy for the four of them to be here to hear the trial with their own eyes. There were princes and high-ranking officials here, and there was no room for them to comment. They didn't expect that the new emperor would be so polite to the corporal. They were both surprised and extremely nervous. .

The four of them gathered together and read the family separation document carefully.

Although they don't know the rules of clan separation, they can also think of it based on the rules of ordinary people's family separation. In ordinary people's families, the eldest son usually supports his parents, so the ancestral home belongs to the eldest son, and more of the family property will be distributed to the eldest son. It can be argued in the same way. It is understandable that the heir inherits the title and gets most of the property.

According to this document, Concubine Yang’s son Gu Ming clearly divided most of the property and got a huge advantage, but now he still feels it is not enough... Could it be that he lost all the property after the separation and now wants to find someone else? His brother Gu Jin is asking for money, right? !

This kind of thing is too degrading!

The four movers looked at each other. At this moment, they all realized the unreasonableness of the whole thing.

There is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

No matter how miserable the county prince's palace was, even if Mrs. Yang and her son had only received 10% of the family property before, Mrs. Yang should not be reduced to not even having a complete piece of good clothes, but she went to knock on Denwen wearing a patched dress. Drum, crying in front of a large audience, complaining that life can't go on.

Concubine Yang was in such a state of desolation that she couldn't even dress as well as an ordinary citizen. Instead, her son Gu Ming was dressed in rich clothes. They didn't look like mother and son here, as if the son was the master and the mother was the servant.

If we talk about being unfilial, Gu Ming couldn't even support his biological mother well. This is really unfilial, right?

Originally, the candidates still had some sympathy for Concubine Yang who had been punished for thirty years with a cane, but at this moment, this sympathy had disappeared and was gone.

With the transmission of this family separation document, the situation changed.

Since there is no problem with the separation document, there is no such thing as the two crimes of the queen shielding her uncle and the new emperor conniving the queen. In fact, the fact that Concubine Yang repeatedly accused the new emperor of pressuring the Jingjun Palace to apply for a knighthood is Isn't there some other hidden secret? !

The eyes of everyone looking at Concubine Yang, Gu Ming, mother and son changed, as if they all had thorns on them, wanting to pierce their flesh and blood to see what color their flesh, blood, and hearts were.

Concubine Yang: “…”

Gu Ming: "..."

Concubine Yang was speechless for a moment, her face uncertain.

Before she came, that person told her several possibilities that might happen. It would be best for her to force Gu Jue to reduce big things to trivial matters. That's why she went to beat the Dengwen drum to arouse the enthusiasm of these students. He was full of enthusiasm and hoped that these students would cause trouble.

The exam will take place next month. If a clan scandal breaks out at this time, it will inevitably make the royal family the laughing stock of the students and damage the royal dignity. Whether it's a family separation or a title transfer, this is a family matter of the clan. Gu Jue has to save some face for the Gu family, right? !

In her heart, Taifei Yang originally hoped that Gu Jue would use the title and money to silence her. She got what she wanted, and Gu Jue could also give an explanation to the students waiting outside.

In this way, everyone gets the best of both worlds.

Unfortunately, the situation still reached the other possibility that the person said. From the moment Gu Jue showed the family separation document to the Minister of Justice and others for review, Concubine Yang knew that the matter was getting more troublesome.

Concubine Yang gritted her molar teeth, managed to calm down, and continued: "Indeed, originally the family property was divided according to the family division document, but that day the queen helped Gu Jin buy 60% of the county prince's mansion for 300,000 taels. industry!”

"That 60% of the property was originally worth more than two million taels!"

Originally, Gu Ming got 70% of the family property, but Gu Jin bought 60% of it at a low price of only 300,000 taels, leaving only 10%. This led to the prince's government losing money, and she could only keep using it. Her dowry went to make up the shortfall.

The others couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this, and they also made a calculation in their minds: Unless they were fools, no one would sell a property worth more than two million taels for 300,000 taels.

Could it be that the Queen was really using her power to intimidate Princess Yang and Gu Ming and their son? !

"My wife and my son are also forced to be helpless and unable to do anything!" As she said this, Concubine Yang burst into tears, her heart was cut like a knife, and her heart seemed to be cut out one after another with a knife.

She really felt sorry for the property that would last her for several lifetimes.

"That's it!" Gu Jue suddenly put away the folding fan and tapped it twice gently in his palm, as if he was thoughtful.

Concubine Yang's eyes flashed, and she felt a little proud: This matter can't be explained clearly. The people present that day were all princes and family members. Even if Prince Li denied her words, she could also say that Prince Li favored the queen.

If the new emperor announces the entry of other royal family members into the palace, she will say the same thing. People sympathize with the weak. Anyway, all she had to do was act like she was being bullied.

"What about the three hundred thousand taels of silver?" Gu Jue asked.

The picture that Mrs. Yang painted in her mind was immediately torn apart by Gu Jue's question.

She was stunned, but she didn't expect that Gu Jue didn't say that it was Gu Ming who took the initiative to sell it, but instead changed the topic to where the money went, and she choked for a moment.

Everyone was looking at Concubine Yang and noticed something was wrong with Concubine Yang.

Next to her, Gu Ming trembled even more, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Gu Jue asked again: "According to what you said, Gu Jin bought the property at a low price. The silver should be 300,000 taels. Where is the silver?"

"Did you squander it all?"

"Or are you and Gu Ming deliberately pretending to have no money to file a false complaint?"

Gu Jue's questions became more and more sharp.
