Have you ever heard of witness evidence? What is a witness cat?

Zhao Guanjia looked stunned.

Fu Jiuqu smiled calmly and said: "Officially, although the case of the water ghost in Zhangjiacun was investigated by Kaifeng Mansion, because of the prophecy of Peng Xing's appearance, the ministers did not dare to neglect and have been investigating secretly. Little Zhang fell into the water and died.

After his death, he will always be under the surveillance of the Imperial City Inspector..."

Zhao Guan's family probably knew the purpose of his visit, and hummed: "Are you here to exonerate Mrs. Zhang?"

"Official officials have a clear warning! Xiao Zhang has been plotted against many times. She told her ministers early in the morning that someone was going to frame her. The nux vomica tree is poisonous. Cui You is most likely the murderer who harmed Zhangjia Village. Xiao Zhangzhi even warned her in advance.

Reporting to Wei Chen, she did not hide anything. In fact, Wei Chen realized that the case was complicated and ordered her not to speak out. She wanted to play a long game to catch the big fish, so she cooperated..."

Zhao Guan's family was laughed at by him.

During the day, Zhang Yaozhuo brought evidence and said that Madam Zhang had committed a heinous crime by not reporting the incident. At night, Fu Jiuqu said it was their plan.

"I know that you attach great importance to love and righteousness, and want to exonerate Miss Zhang, but this matter is a certainty, and she cannot escape the crime. I cannot ignore the Kaifeng Mansion's evidence and be a one-sided believer just because of your words.

Are you stupid?"

Fu Jiuqu lifted the golden cup upwards.

"Officials and ministers also have evidence."

"Oh? This cat?" Zhao Zhen still smiled, like he was treating an ignorant child.

Fu Jiuqu said: "Xiao Zhang kept Wei Chen's cat at home, reported the cat to the official in front of the whole village that the cat was stolen, and then notified Wei Chen to go, creating the illusion that Wei Chen and her had fallen out in public, and attracted the murderer.

Taking the bait, everyone in Zhangjia Village can testify to this..."

He told half truths and half lies about his and Xin Yi's plan.

However, after Zhao Guanjia heard this, his face did not change. He rubbed his temples and frowned even more tightly.

"What a heavy building."

He pondered for a moment and pointed to the note on the desk.

"Come and see."

Fu Jiuqu: "Officials, this is against the rules."

Zhao Guanjia glared at him, "You can watch it if I tell you to."

"Yes." Fu Jiuqu stepped forward and opened the note, his face changed slightly, but he said nothing.

Zhao Guanjia stared at him and lowered his voice a little, "You are my nephew, my only nephew. I will not harm you... Please stop getting involved in this matter, so as not to attract criticism from the courtiers.

Shen, you act erratically and make things difficult for me..."

Fu Jiuqu understood the unfinished meaning of Zhao Guanjia's words.

"Do the officials think that if the ministers don't do anything, they will be able to stop?"

Zhao Zhen said: "The best response is for you to speak less. Nowadays, there are many parties in North Korea and China, and tit-for-tat confrontation is inevitable. At this time, if there is any trouble again, it will shake the country."

Fu Jiuqu was silent for a moment and looked up at Zhao Zhen.

"Uncle, balancing power and stabilizing the government are the foundation of governing the country, but if they continue to allow them to form cliques to dominate the government, it will inevitably encourage evil trends and make Xiaoxiao more and more angry, while Qingliu in the government is afraid of criticism and dare not continue to do so.

Speak up and speak out. In my opinion, it is better to only show kindness without condescending. It is better to show kindness and power at the same time, a two-pronged approach..."

"Go down." Zhao Guanjia waved his hand to stop him from continuing, "I'm tired. All day long, I'm full of nonsense, which makes me unhappy. Those old guys point at my nose and scold me every day.

, please let me be clean for a while!"

Fu Jiuqu glanced at the emperor and silently took out a green porcelain vase from his arms.

"This is the elixir brought back from Jingxiang by a retainer of Weichen. The official ordered people to grind the pills into powder and mix them with water, and apply them on the Taiyang, Yintang, Fengchi, and Tianzhu acupoints. It can relieve pain, refresh the mind, and eliminate plague.

Sha. Weichen has tried it and it is extremely effective."

Zhao Zhen took it and took a look, his smile returned to his face, he looked a little more kind, and his voice was particularly gentle.

"Good boy, you'd better be filial. Go ahead and listen to your uncle and don't get involved."

Fu Jiuqu said no more, bowed his hands and saluted, then raised his head and took a deep look at the tired emperor on the throne, turned around and left with the golden lamp in hand.

…

…

The dark night shrouded the city of Bianjing in the snow.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the New Year was about to begin, Xinyi waited in jail in Kaifeng Mansion for several days, and finally received the first news after the emperor's "three-day limit."

"Mrs. Zhang knew about it but did not report it. She should have been guilty of the same crime as the murderer. However, the officials remembered that your late husband Zhang had served the country in patrolling the country, so they were given a lighter sentence. Sixty canes were used, twelve buttocks were used, and the crowd was gathered to execute."

Even if you beat her, you still have to gather a crowd to execute it and let people watch her being beaten?

It's really cruel.

There was no day or night, no starlight in the prison, and the whole world was just wailing or sleeping. When she got the news, Xin Yi was still panic-stricken and couldn't sleep. Soon, she calmed down.

In this world that is not completely real to her, she often unconsciously looks down at the fate of the characters in the play - not condescendingly, only with compassion and helplessness.

Their life, death, sorrow and joy are all a game and a setting. In the trajectory of fate, whether it is crisis or death, they are all illusions and virtual products. But she is different, she should not have appeared.

In the game world, associating with NPCs, you should not get involved in the grudges and hatreds of this world.

So, is this a deserved punishment?

In the cold prison, Xin Yi thought a lot.

Maybe her efforts were wrong.

The more you do, the more you make mistakes.

If she doesn't do anything, maybe the fate of the characters in the play will return to the established track.

Then she can escape unscathed.

In this case, then laying it down and lying down is the best option.

If you can't survive the fifty-spine staff and the twelve-hip staff, then just leave it to fate.

When Xin Yi was thinking about life in prison, it was already snowing outside the prison. On the streets with endless traffic, the fires were burning all night long, and the people in Bianjing City were discussing her affairs, wondering whether she should use the whip, the cane, or the punishment.

Liu, arguing endlessly about which punishment in death should be given, while doing New Year shopping, beating children, and waiting for the arrival of the New Year...

Three days in the capital, three years in prison.

Turning over the old imperial calendar, it was the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the third year of Huangyou's reign.

On this day, Jupiter conjuncts the moon, the moon is evil, and the white tiger is responsible for disasters.

As the first woman in history to have traveled through jail time, Xin Yi got a little impatient while waiting for death in jail, and the cell door that had been locked for many days was finally opened.

"Ms. Zhang, come out."

A group of government officials stood darkly in front of the prison door, led by Zeng Qinda and a policeman named Guan Chang.

Zeng Qinda had a smile on his face, like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. His words were warm and sincere, "Mrs. Zhang is really a blessed person. Prince Guangling and Commander Cao have worked hard for you, and even the Queen has come forward to help you."

You plead for mercy, and the officials ordered that the punishment system should be based on mercy, so that you can avoid death."

According to the provisions of the "Song Xingtong", if the insider is guilty of the same crime as the murderer, Xin Yi will undoubtedly be sentenced to death.

At first, Zhang Yaozhuo wanted her to die.

But where Xin Yi couldn't see it, the cat named Jinzhan and Empress Cao, who repeatedly persuaded the officials, finally made the Zhao officials change their minds.

Fifty canes on the spine and twelve canes on the buttocks are the lightest form of cane punishment.

Zeng Qinda thought she should be content.

Xin Yi felt that this was the greatest fear and shame in his life.

"Master Zeng, this blessing is given to you, do you want it?"

A total of sixty-two sticks were used to smash the back and buttocks. What is the difference between it and Ling Chi? It would be better to kill him with one knife.

How about luck?

Bless him!

Zeng Qinda snorted, "Mrs. Zhang, don't be ignorant of good and evil. For others, let alone beheading, there are also Lingchi executions."

Looking at Zeng Qinda's expression, Xin Yi smelled the blood and cruelty from the Song Dynasty for the first time. She understood that under the iron-blooded hands of the emperors and nobles, the common people had no possibility of struggling, even at the cost of their lives...

"Why don't you quickly thank the emperor for his kindness?"

"yes……"

Xin Yi responded slowly, dragging his shackles on his feet and hands, and let the two government officials put the shackles on him...

The moment he walked out of the prison, Xin Yi raised his neck and squinted at the sky.

Only then did I realize that the snow had stopped a long time ago, and the snow had not yet melted. The sun was dazzling, and the golden sun cast a halo from the cornices and blue bricks and tiles. The world was as beautiful as ever.

Before the battle of the sticks, they should be paraded through the streets to show the public.

Xin Yi stood on the prison car and looked at the restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, rows of shops, and pavilions along the way, as well as the people on the streets who were watching the excitement and smiling. He felt very complicated.
To be continued...
