Chapter 275: Above the Court 1
Ministry of Justice
The things brought back from Jingui Tower were compared with the palace records by people from the palace, and were finally confirmed to be the dowry of Concubine Jade.
"There are 5 items in total, all of which are the dowry of Concubine Jade! The slave family has to look at the book to confirm it. I heard that some people recognized the items as dowry of Concubine Jade when they looked at the objects? I think back then, the dowries of Concubine Jade entered the palace...
Except for the Nu family and a few servants who took a look at it when they were counting, the rest are the few servants in front of Concubine Yu who have seen these things. Now that those servants are gone, the Nu family is a little curious. Mr. Li,
I don’t know who is so capable…”
Manager Jiang of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has always followed the Holy One, and even Li Xinyuan, the Minister of Punishment, was somewhat polite to him when he saw it.
Li Xinyuan immediately looked at the two men who were brought back with a straight face.
"Listen, tell me honestly, how do you know this is Concubine Jade's dowry?"
In the courtroom, two men knelt and kowtowed, and their confessions were the same as they had said before in Jingui Tower.
His eyes focused on Chu Xue again. He Mei Shijiu stood beside her, and Li Xinyuan couldn't help but have a headache.
He coughed, took down the gavel and started asking Chu Xue.
In the courtroom, Chu Xue knelt down and replied, "Replying to your lord, the folk girl does not know these things, let alone the dowry of the Jade Concubine, but... there are people around the folk girl who know these things."
Chuxue suddenly said this, frightening Pearl and Taoer who were listening to the trial. What is the lady going to do?
"The person around you? Who?"
Li Xinyuan swallowed secretly. Manager Jiang made it very clear just now that few people in the world have seen these dowries.
Chuxue turned to look at Pearl and gave her a look. Pearl immediately stepped forward and knelt down beside Chuxue.
Chuxue looked up at Li Xinyuan and said calmly: "Sir, it's her! Her name is Pearl. She and her husband Liangping once served Yufei in the Jin family. Before entering the palace, Yufei returned their deeds and let them
When she returned to her hometown to live, it happened that she was responsible for counting the dowry of Concubine Yu, so when she took out the red jade and coral fan, she recognized it at a glance, but...the two masters were far away at that time, and Pearl
He spoke very quietly when talking to the daughter of the people, perhaps because these two men have amazing ears..."
Mei Shijiu's brows moved when she heard Chu Xue's words, as if she understood why she would do this.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but look at Pearl. It turned out to be an old friend of Concubine Yu. No wonder she kept her with her!
It seemed that her trip to the southeast was more complicated than he thought.
"Have you ever served the Jade Concubine?"
As soon as Chu Xue's words came out, even Manager Jiang was startled.
"You said she...served the Jade Concubine and saw these dowries?"
Li Xinyuan believed that no matter how bold the little girl kneeling in front of her was, she would not dare to joke in court.
"Return to your lord, civilian girls don't dare to speak nonsense, your lord will know clearly if you see clearly."
Indeed, this matter is easy to investigate. The head of the Jin family will be here in a few days. You will know after asking.
If it was really like what she said, then it would be normal to recognize Concubine Jade's dowry.
"Master Li, now that it has been confirmed that these things are really the dowry of the Concubine Jade, the matter is serious and the top priority is to find out how these things left the palace as soon as possible. Master Li, if there is nothing else to ask, Shi Jiu
I will take my junior sister back first."
Mei Shijiuyi spoke in a gentle manner, but his tone had a toughness that could not be refused.
Li Xinyuan was furious. Mei Shijiu had gone too far. This was the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice. He thought it was a vegetable market!
She screamed in her heart, but nodded on her face, "In that case, let's go back first, but... how long will it take to find out the identity of this pearl..." It means that she can leave, but she must leave one behind.
"Back to your lord, Pearl is now with Minnu. She lives in Minnu's house. Your Majesty is only responsible for verification. If you need any cooperation or questions, you can just summon her!"
Chuxue directly opened her mouth and blocked Li Xinyuan's mouth. She suddenly revealed the identities of Pearl and Liang'an in public, just for the sake of convenience in the future. They had served her mother, and people might know about it one day. Instead of making people curious to find out,
How about she tell them directly and let them know?
The corner of Li Xinyuan's mouth moved. Looking at Mei Shijiu who was about to help others, he could only wave his hand to let them leave.
What matters right now is Concubine Jade’s dowry, and other things are not the focus for the time being!
Oh my God, this concubine’s dowry was well kept in the palace. Why did she escape from the palace and be auctioned in public...
"People's daughter resigns!"
Chuxue took the pearl and saluted and stood up. Manager Jiang on the side also said goodbye. He had to go back and report to the Holy Master.
Facing Chu Xue, Manager Jiang had a complicated expression and actually gave up half of his body in front of everyone, letting Chu Xue and Mei Shijiu go first.
Everyone in the hall didn't care for a moment, they just thought it was to give Mei Shijiu face and the Mei family face.
However, the people watching were most curious about Chuxue. I wonder which woman in this capital could be protected by the Ninth Young Master like this?
"Let's go!"
She protected Chuxue out of the crowd and helped her get into the carriage in front of everyone.
"Why are you here, senior brother?"
"When we heard that the Jade Concubine's dowry appeared in Jingui Tower, the prince and I immediately thought of you. The prince asked Luo Sang to look for you, but we didn't expect you to be in Jingui Tower. What happened?"
Mei Shijiu was not sure whether it was related to her.
Chu Xue pursed her lips and shook her head, saying innocently, "Brother, do you believe it is a coincidence?"
Mei Shijiu sighed: "It can't be a coincidence that those two men only recognized you out of thin air. You just deliberately revealed... her identity, firstly so that she can be fair and upright around you in the future, and secondly, to give those two men
A chance to escape is a good way to catch a big fish in the long run, right?”
"Senior brother is really very smart. I was originally going to the Chu Family Trading Company, and on the way I decided to go to Jingui Building. I didn't expect that I got caught up in the drama, and suddenly dragged me into the water. It must have been temporary, and the person who ordered them was in Jingui today.
In the building."
Looking at the somewhat cunning Chu Xue, Mei Shijiu smiled helplessly.
"When you said that, they insisted that they listened to your words. The Ministry of Punishment couldn't find anything in the trial, so they probably had to let them go in the end. Maybe Mr. Li would use them as bait like you... I had already ordered A Qing just now,
He'll get people staring."
Chuxue cupped her hands playfully, "Thank you, senior brother!"
"You, did you notice the look in Manager Jiang's eyes just now? He is not an ordinary palace man. You are born just like your mother, and now Concubine Yu's old person appears next to you. It's hard for him not to think too much..."
Chuxue smiled, held her head up and looked at the people passing by outside the car, "Senior brother, even if he has thought of it... so what?"
Even if everyone knows that she may be the daughter of Concubine Jade, the daughter of the current Holy Emperor, and a princess! So what?
If she doesn't want to admit it, then she isn't.
"By the way, senior brother, we have to ask someone to tell the prince so that he won't worry!" Chuxue suddenly remembered Feng Ziyue and forgot to send him a letter.
"Don't worry, he should be in your house now. Let's talk about it when we get back. The capital is going to be lively again!"
Chuxue nodded and couldn't help but think about what happened today, "Brother, it seems that the prince did not do this. The traces are too heavy..."
Chapter completed!
