Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam
Chapter 1068: She doesn’t look like a peasant girl who grew up in the border area.
The girl from the Li family now lives in a house outside the Dali Temple. There are imperial guards stationed outside, and some maids and old women have also been sent to take care of her.
"Miss Li, you said you wanted to sue Princess Chao'an. What's going on? Please tell us in detail..."
Hearing what Minister Lu said, Miss Li was a little scared.
"This is Minister Lu of the Ministry of Justice, a very important official. He can make the decision for you..." The old woman who was in charge of taking care of Miss Li comforted Miss Li and explained to her.
After hearing this, Miss Li dared to raise her head and look at Minister Lu.
"Greetings, sir. I am a villager from Lijia Village, which is more than 20 miles away from the border city. My parents obtained several crops a few years ago..."
Miss Li told the story again.
"You said that this thing your parents obtained was snatched away by Princess Chao'an? She only gave you ten taels of silver for thousands of kilograms of crops? And then she was afraid that the matter would be leaked, so she killed your whole family?"
"Everything I said is true. My parents told me in person that they have been planting for several years..."
When Lord Lu heard this, he frowned.
"You are the only family in your village that grows it, or are other families following suit?"
"To answer your question, my parents planted it for a year first, and then they led the villagers to plant it together..."
Lord Lu, Lord Tang and others carefully questioned for an hour and recorded all the words.
"Do you have any evidence for what you said?"
Hearing this, Miss Li glanced at them and lowered her head again.
"I have evidence."
"You bring out the evidence."
"I want to see the emperor. The emperor is a benevolent ruler and will definitely give justice to my family."
Upon hearing that Miss Li wanted to see the emperor, Lord Lu and Lord Tang looked at each other.
"Give us the evidence first, and we will present it to the emperor. If the emperor is willing to see you, we will take you to see him..."
After hearing what Lord Lu said, Miss Li was still a little hesitant.
"You won't protect each other, will you? I have many copies of this evidence. If you take it away and destroy it, it will appear on the street, and someone will go to the palace gate to ask to see the emperor."
Hearing what Miss Li said, Lord Lu frowned even more.
He felt that there was something wrong with this Miss Li.
Miss Li's behavior was totally unlike that of a peasant girl who grew up in a border area. Her every move, the tone of her voice, and even her threats were all uncanny.
Although it is right to be cautious, these actions are different. He has been the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice for so many years, so he can naturally tell the difference at a glance.
I'm afraid this incident is just another trap.
But this is his inner analysis, so he naturally has to be fair and just on the surface.
"Don't worry, we will never protect each other. We will hand over the evidence you provide to the emperor..."
Hearing Lord Lu say this, Miss Li looked at Lord Tang and others again.
"I assure you that I will never do such a thing."
Only then did Miss Li produce the evidence.
"My parents led the villagers to plant this. Each family planted a certain amount of crops, and after each family finished planting, we bought them for one cent per pound..."
When Lord Lu saw the words written in the account book and the villagers' fingerprints, his eyes deepened.
Miss Li looked at the adults who were silent, then she knelt down and spoke.
"I beg you gentlemen to help me and give justice to my family."
