After traveling through time, she just wanted to eat, drink and have fun
Chapter 78 Public Trial
He just glanced at the noisy crowd indifferently and said in a deep voice: "The bandits and a group of innocent women died in the fire. As the investigator of this incident, I have indeed failed in my duty. After returning to the capital, I will personally ask for punishment from the emperor. But the others who made mistakes must also bear the due price for this!"
The troublemakers who were quietly watching the outcome of Wang the Butcher's mother's incident were all shocked when they heard this. Some of the quick-witted ones even began to quietly hide in the depths of the crowd. Prince Jing gave an order: "Zhang Ling." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ling led a group of guards to the scene. They acted quickly and decisively, and in the blink of an eye, they subdued all the troublemakers, even those who tried to escape.
"I will interrogate all of you right now, and let all the people here see if I have been partial or taken advantage of the situation to seek revenge." After hearing what Prince Jing said, those people turned pale, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. The people watching were not stupid, and of course they could see that these people were guilty. Moreover, there were some insiders here. I don't know who shouted first, "Your Highness is wise." Then the crowd shouted "Your Highness is wise."
Following Prince Jing's eye signal, Zhang Ling quickly calmed the restless crowd and began to assist Prince Jing in conducting on-site interrogations.
First, Zhang Ling asked Wang the butcher's mother, who confessed her guilt on the spot, to sign and seal her confession to confirm her guilt; then, according to the laws of the time, he imposed the highest penalty on her - twenty strokes of the cane - and immediately took her to the streets for public display.
Next, it was the turn of Wang Ying's husband and his family who pretended to be dead to stand trial. Although they had known that Wang Ying had committed suicide by drowning because she could not bear the abuse and her whereabouts were still unknown, they still followed suit and reported the case in an attempt to gain personal benefits. In the end, the family was sentenced to caning and exile.
As the cases were tried one by one, the crowd cheered from time to time. Some relatives who really cared about the women finally mustered up the courage to stand up and said that the women were gone, and the prince had handled the cases impartially and avenged them, which they could not avenge when they were alive. Human power is limited, and they are not obsessed with their deaths. For some reason, Zhu Yu's eye sockets suddenly became a little shallow, and he secretly wiped away a tear.
After finishing the interrogation of the last family that caused trouble, Prince Jing stood up, looked at everyone with a firm gaze and solemnly promised that he would start with the situations of other women in the case and extend it to everywhere to ensure that every woman who had suffered injustice or unfair treatment would be able to get help. Some people in the crowd cheered and some shrank back. It was said that not long after the crowd dispersed, someone took the initiative to go to the yamen to surrender.
In the end, with his swift and resolute measures, Prince Jing dealt with all the people involved in the case in less than half a month. At the same time, he also dealt with several cases of abuse of women. He posted the reasons for the punishment of these people and their confessions written by themselves at the city gate for the people to check and understand the truth at any time, and encouraged women to protect their legal rights in the notice.
This matter was drawing to a close. As a female member of the family, Zhu Yu could not do much, but she admired Prince Jing from the bottom of her heart for being so meticulous and for being able to sincerely do practical things for women.
After careful preparation, the chicken has been marinated and fried to golden brown, and set aside to drain excess fat. Sakura stood aside, looking at the tempting fried chicken nuggets, and couldn't help but secretly took a piece and put it in her mouth. As a result, she was burned and grimaced, making a "shashasha" sound.
Xiaohua stood by, deftly helping Zhu Yu put ginger, garlic, dried chili peppers and peppercorns into a pot with a little oil in it. Once they were stir-fried, the aroma immediately filled the air. This alluring smell seemed to have magic, penetrating through layers of space and making people salivate even if they were two miles apart.
At this time, Prince Jing, who had just returned from the government office, was attracted by the aroma. He stepped into the courtyard and saw a huge iron pot in the middle of the courtyard. Zhu Yu, wearing an apron, was holding a large shovel and concentrating on turning the ingredients in the pot. The strong aroma that wafted out came from this.
"Your Highness is here! Please take a rest on the bench over there. I'll be ready soon. Let's have delicious spicy chicken for lunch today, hehe." Zhu Yu greeted him warmly and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeves. Prince Jing nodded in response, with a smile on his face that he didn't even notice, and placed the set of Rouxianlou limited edition rouge that he brought back for Zhu Yu on the table.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Prince Jing, Zhu Yu once again threw herself into the busy cooking. She waved the spatula vigorously and continued to stir-fry: "Xiaoying, don't just eat it secretly! Pour the chicken in quickly, and remember to add more fire." While speaking, Zhu Yu's eyes were full of anticipation, as if she was full of confidence in the spicy chicken that was about to be served.
Xiaoying responded by bringing the chicken over and pouring it into the pot. Prince Jing did not sit down, but walked to the simple stove and squatted down, and began to add firewood. After filling it, he sat on the small stool there and watched Zhu Yu busying herself, so that he could be closer to her. Things were almost over, and the day for them to return to Beijing was approaching. If he could not marry her, it would be difficult to get along like this. He did not actually intend to tie her down with the promise of the jade pendant.
Zhu Yu had no idea what he was thinking, and called Xiaohua to add some salt, sugar, soy sauce and other seasonings to the pot, and continued to stir-fry evenly, and finally sprinkled some chopped green onions and served!!!
When she was about to go to the table with the plate, she saw that the person who had been sitting next to her and adding fuel to the fire was actually Prince Jing. "Your Highness, you know how to light a fire?" And the fire was just right!
Prince Jing nodded, lowered his eyes and said, "Well, I went to the border military camp for training when I was very young. I served as a fireman, a wounded soldier, and so on for a while. I know a lot of things."
Zhu Yu: "Thank you for your hard work. You have been busy all this time. Come, please go over and sit down. Try this dish and see if it suits your taste."
Prince Jing stood up after hearing this. He was wearing a moon-white robe today, and he had a few small eyes burned by the flying sparks when he was making a fire. They were like a few flickering stars in the clouds.
The deliciousness of spicy chicken is indeed irresistible. When Prince Jing ate the first piece, his taste buds were pleased. As he ate more and more, Zhu Yu knew from his expression that he liked it. She was afraid that he would be embarrassed to pick out the meat from the chili peppers, so she picked up the serving chopsticks and picked out several pieces of chicken from the chili peppers and put them on his plate. "My cooking is definitely not as delicious as the locals'. When there is a chance, Your Majesty can go to Shu to taste the local cooking skills."
Prince Jing raised his eyes and looked at her deeply: "Can we go together?"
