The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"
Chapter 71 Enough is Enough
Imperial Censor Li Wenqing was also startled by Jingxue. He was about to continue speaking when Jingxue interrupted, "What's wrong with women in the inner quarters? Isn't your mother, no, your mother a woman? Isn't your great-grandmother a woman? Your father was framed, were you just going to stand by and do nothing?"
"Isn't it said that seeing is believing? Well then, I'll show you right here what seeing is believing!"
After Jingxue finished speaking, she pointed at Li Wenqing and said, "This sir stole one hundred taels of silver from me. Please be my witnesses!"
Upon hearing Jingxue's words, Li Wenqing hurriedly said, "Princess Consort Zhan, you are making false accusations. When did I steal your silver?"
Jingxue waved her hand, "Don't try to deny it. Now is the moment to witness a miracle. All of you, be my witnesses!"
The ministers all felt that Jingxue was being a bit frivolous, while others were simply watching the spectacle.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review felt that Jingxue had gone too far in the courtroom and said, "Princess Consort Zhan, that's enough!"
Jingxue turned her head and said fiercely, "Sir, you also stole one hundred taels of silver from me!"
"Princess Consort Zhan, what nonsense are you spouting?" The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review slammed his gavel down.
The hall fell silent. Jingxue took a step forward and said, "I said that the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and this official each stole one hundred taels of silver from me. It was hidden in their boots!"
Li Wenqing angrily said, "You're talking nonsense! I didn't do it!"
Jingxue said with a serious expression, "Whether it was stolen or not, can't we just take a look and find out?"
One of the ministers said, "Yes, we also believe you didn't steal it. You were so far away, what could you possibly be stealing? Show her!"
"This Princess Consort is too arrogant!"
Li Wenqing was furious and reached into his boot to grab it.
But he was stunned; there really was a folded silver note!
The paper used for banknotes is different from other papers; you can tell it's a banknote just by touching it!
"What are you standing there for?" a minister next to him said, looking at Li Wenqing who was bent over and standing there.
Li Wenqing reacted quickly, straightened up and took out the banknote. "I forgot, I put it in the day before yesterday."
"Yes! Can't they just hide their own banknotes?"
"How did Princess Consort Zhan know that there were silver notes in Lord Li's boots?"
Jingxue ignored them and turned to look at the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was a little incredulous when he saw Li Wenqing take out a silver note. He also reached out to touch his own boot.
Seeing him pause, Ye Muchen pursed his lips, glanced at the fourth brother beside him, and Ye Muchi smiled knowingly!
Playing with his third sister-in-law will make you regret it!
The moment the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review took out the silver notes, several people also wanted to touch their own boots.
Li Wenqing was still saying, "These are my own banknotes, don't believe Princess Zhan's words!"
Looking at Jingxue's confident expression, Prime Minister Zou felt that things were not going as he had expected.
Jingxue gestured to Li Wenqing to invite him to stand back by the desk of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. With Jingxue blocking Tong Yi's view, he had to keep craning his neck to peek from Jingxue's left and right sides.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review glared at him several times in anger!
Li Wenqing steeled himself and took a few steps forward.
Jingxue didn't want to waste any more time. "My lords, please bear witness for me. I say that these two men stole my silver notes, which were worth one hundred taels. To prove that what I said is true, please look at the silver notes in your hands, because there is a mark on them!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wenqing quickly looked at the silver note in his hand but found nothing. However, he still insisted, "My silver note also has a mark!"
Jingxue smiled sarcastically. "Oh? Then please tell me, sir, what markings are on this banknote?"
"I, I, I can't tell you!" Li Wenqing said stubbornly.
Jingxue rolled her eyes at him. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't say anything. Well, I'll say it myself. There's a pinhole in the middle of these two silver notes!"
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review immediately held the silver note up to the light, and sure enough, there was a pinhole!
Princess Zhan came prepared!
Li Wenqing didn't move. He knew there must be some, because the silver wasn't his. Could this Princess Consort of War be using sorcery?
"Princess Zhan must have used some secret technique to frame us!" Li Wenqing said angrily.
Jingxue wanted to hear those words, so she turned to the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and said, "Your Honor, didn't everyone witness my experiment? But everyone knows in their hearts that you two didn't steal the silver notes!"
“Since this official says I used secret techniques, then who can prove that my father’s case wasn’t handled by someone using secret techniques! Your Honor, there are many suspicious points in my father’s case, please investigate thoroughly!” Jingxue said, waiting for the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review’s reply.
Li Wenqing stood there, unsure whether to put the silver note away or return it to Jingxue. In the end, someone pulled him back into the line.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review looked at the silver note on his desk and had a terrible headache.
At this moment, another minister said, "Recently, the shops on West Street in the Princess Consort of Zhan's residence have been selling items that my Bei Ye has never seen before. May I ask where these items come from, Princess Consort of Zhan?"
The speaker was Hu Yucheng, the Minister of Revenue. Hearing this, Ye Muchen felt a little flustered, because Jingxue's things were indeed not available in Bei Ye.
Jingxue looked in Hu Yucheng's direction and said, "If Bei Ye doesn't have it, can't I sell it?"
"This humble official is asking where Princess Zhan's goods came from? Did they come from another country? If they did, is Princess Zhan related to your father...?"
"Snapped"
Wow!
The Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was startled to see the table in front of him suddenly fall apart. He quickly stood up and frantically tried to grab the scattered papers and pens. Fortunately, the inkstone had fallen to the ground first, so the papers were not soiled.
Wow! This Princess Zhan's grip is incredibly strong! She could kill a pig, let alone a mosquito!
There was nothing else he could do but order someone to bring over another table!
Jingxue didn't turn around, her gaze turning icy as she walked towards Hu Yucheng. She said in a deep voice, "My shop does sell some new products, but why should I tell you where they come from? If your family has a secret family recipe, would you tell others? Can you tell me where your family keeps your money? If you can tell me honestly, then I can too! If you don't tell me, then your family's money is stolen money! You embezzled it!"
Hu Yucheng was the Minister of Revenue, in charge of finances. How could he possibly bear the accusation of embezzlement?
"You're just spouting nonsense and making baseless accusations!" Hu Yucheng was so angry that his beard twitched.
Jingxue pointed at Hu Yucheng's nose and said sternly, "You're framing him, kicking him when he's down, and harming a loyal and virtuous person..."
"Snapped!"
Just as Jingxue was about to continue the idiom chain game, she was stopped by the judge's gavel.
"Stop! We are now handling Jing Zhiyuan's case. Do not discuss matters unrelated to the case in court!" the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review shouted.
Jingxue rolled her eyes and stood back next to Ye Muchen.
At that moment, the bamboo curtain was lifted, and the emperor stepped out!
