Chapter three hundred and fifty fifth: boiled eagle
This sentence made Zhu Xiaochang stop. If you don’t know, it would be a huge lie. If you study in the Imperial Academy, you will know such a simple truth, so how can you lie?
But if you say you know, wouldn’t you deny the previous words yourself?
For a moment, Zhu Xiaochang didn't know how to answer, but Zhang Fuling no longer had the patience to wait, raised his hand and patted the table, and it was useless to give him enough face to the princes of his aristocratic family.
"I asked you why you didn't answer? Do you know or don't know?"
Wen clenched his handkerchief anxiously and wanted to step forward, but was blocked by a water and fire stick.
Zhu Xiaochang raised his head at this moment, suddenly thought of something, bowed to Zhang Fuling and said:
"Adults know that having sex with a man and a woman will naturally make women pregnant. However, Xiaochang is not yet fourteen and is not an adult man, so he naturally doesn't know that Dongmei will make her pregnant."
Zhou Heng wanted to applaud Zhu Xiaochang. This answer was really perfect. He said that he knew everything, not pretending to be fake, but he was a minor. Who knows whether this can make people pregnant? He is not a doctor.
Zhang Fuling nodded calmly, without any disturbance, but just raised his hand and raised a jade pendant to show it to everyone.
"What's your explanation for the jade pendant?"
Zhu Xiaochang was very calm and shook his head and said:
"I don't know why this jade pendant came to Dongmei. Everyone in the capital knew that this was the first time I wrote a poem in the palace banquet. The emperor rewarded me. Finally, I asked a craftsman to carve my name on it. This jade pendant was only one. If I wanted to frame it, I had no way to defend myself."
Zhu Yunmo was stunned and grabbed Zhou Heng.
"What does he mean? Why don't he just acknowledge that the jade pendant is his own or a unique jade pendant?"
Zhou Heng sighed slightly, "This is the cleverness. It is obvious that retreating to advance. The jade pendant is mine, and it is only one. When you meet someone who is interested, you can prove the origin of the jade pendant. As for why it is gone, why it can be re-opened and retried when it comes to Dongmei's hands."
Zhu Yunmo sucked and saw Zhu Xiaochang shaking.
"Is this kid so sinister and vicious? Wouldn't Dongmei be defeated?"
Zhou Heng shook his head, "The prince looked at it carefully, how is the ending really unsure?"
Although Zhu Yunmo was anxious, he knew that nothing he said now was useless, so he still had to watch patiently.
Seeing that the two of them stood up again, Pang Qi quickly cleared his throat and stared at the lobby carefully.
Zhang Fuling smiled and said slowly: "What do you mean is that the jade pendant will disappear and then appear on Dongmei?"
Zhu Xiaochang nodded, "Yes, the jade pendant was still stored in my study, but it disappeared at some point. I heard that someone took it to Shuntian Mansion to complain. I searched in the study, but I didn't find it. As for when it was not found, it was unknown."
Zhang Fuling nodded and laughed. This was the first time Zhou Heng saw Zhang Fuling laughing, especially in the lobby. This smile made people's hair roots explode instantly.
"Oh? That is to say, Zhu Xiaochang, your jade pendant is placed casually in the study, but not worn close to the body, nor has it been worshipped in the ancestral hall, right?"
Wen seemed to have thought of something and wanted to reach out to stop Zhu Xiaochang, but Zhu Xiaochang had already bowed and replied:
"Yes, it's placed in the drawer in the study, and can be reached by the servants who come and go in and out."
Zhang Fuling grabbed the gavel, slammed it hard on the desk, and looked at Zhu Xiaochang coldly.
"My Daliang State has a law that stipulates that the things given by the emperor are like the emperor. You do not keep them properly and you still feel so unrepentant after losing them. Zhu Xiaochang, do you know that this is the crime of beheading."
A sentence made Zhu Xiaochang's expression collapse instantly, and he knelt down. This time Wen also learned his lesson and quickly knelt down. She was wearing an imperial uniform and blocked Zhu Xiaochang in front of her.
"Sir, it's all my fault. I encouraged Dongmei to take the jade pendant. At that time, it was really to appease her. Our family's children were withered, and I have been widowed for many years. I really hoped that there would be a child in this yard, so this matter was not stopped.
However, I didn't expect that Dongmei, a child, was arrogant because of his favor, and actually wanted Xiaochang to marry her. But Xiaochang was only twelve years old. If he had taken a concubine before marrying a wife at this time, this would not have made everyone in the capital laugh at me. I saw this and asked Dongmei to blame him.
None of us knows that she is pregnant. If we know that even if it is embarrassing, I will admit it. That is my grandson. No matter whether it is legitimate or illegitimate, it is the blood of our Ning Prince's Mansion.
Before the 20th rod was beaten, Dongmei lost her breath. I was also panicked at that time and hurriedly threw the body into a mass grave. If I really wanted to destroy the body, how could it be so hasty? At least I found a mountain without anyone to bury the person, and then went to Shuntian Mansion to make up for a stolen document. Wouldn't there be nothing wrong in the world?"
Dongmei was crying in a plate and shouted at Zhang Fuling:
"It's not like that. I said when I was beaten, I've been pregnant for three months, but I didn't get forgiven when I heard about this. Instead, every stick seemed to want my life."
Zhang Fuling waved his hand at Dongmei and signaled her not to interrupt. Han Dayong quickly stopped Han Dongmei.
Zhou Heng exhaled a breath of turbid air. After these words, Wen's tears were heard. The person outside who had pointed at them and pointed at them and the person outside suddenly became much quieter.
Zhou Heng knew that this woman was definitely a powerful person.
She was afraid that Zhang Fuling would punish Zhu Xiaochang for losing the gifts given by the emperor, so she took everything into consideration. As for the subsequent remarks, although it was unreasonable, it was also very intimidating.
Zhu Yunmo was obviously a little anxious. He grabbed the window frame and his finger joints were a little white.
Zhang Fuling looked at Wen and signaled to help her up.
"It's meaningless to explain these things now. First, Dongmei is indeed Zhu Xiaochang's girl, and her child is also Zhu Xiaochang's. Second, whether you know that Dongmei is pregnant or not, she was beaten and pretended to die and you were thrown into the mass grave of the corpse. These two things cannot be shirked."
Zhu Xiaochang bowed to Zhang Fuling, "Sir, Dongmei has never said that she is pregnant in Weizhu Hall. It is impossible to determine who the child belongs to."
Zhang Fuling looked at Zhu Xiaochang and Wen, and when they saw that they both looked up at him, they seemed very confident.
"Yes, the child was not born, and you don't think it's possible to distinguish it, but don't forget that the two stillborns, although one was lost in the mass grave, the other was still there, and the person came to bring the physical evidence."
Zhou Yian walked up with a wooden box in his arms, called the wooden box, and held it in front of Zhu Xiaochang. Zhu Xiaochang took a step back, only to glance at the pale face.
Wen Shi had no turbulence on her face. Zhu Xiaochang shook her sleeves and snorted coldly.
"Does the adult want to use such a piece of meat to determine that he is my child?"
Zhang Fuling shook his head, "Of course not. This official has always been the first evidence to determine cases. The stillbirth and placenta were born by Dongmei. I invited the imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital to ask them to treat it.
Let’s see if Dongmei had miscarriage a few days ago. Also ask them if there is a way to prove whether this child is yours. Please ask the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital to come forward.”
Following the order, Peng Yushan and Chen Zhenya had already walked closer with their medicine boxes, and after saluting Zhang Fuling, they walked to Han Dongmei.
After checking the pulse separately, both of them nodded and then looked at the wooden box. Peng Yushan opened the medicine box, took out the gloves and masks, put them on one by one, and raised the things inside the wooden box. A dark brown thing the size of a woman's fist appeared in his palm.
After watching it over and over again, Peng Yushan put down his stillbirth and said to Zhang Fuling:
"Report to my sir, this girl Dongmei has just had miscarriage and suffered extreme coldness. She has suffered a lot of damage to her body. I'm afraid she will have no more children in this life."
This sentence made the people watching outside take a breath. After all, what the people least want to see is that such weak people are bullied, and the thoughts that originally had some understanding of Wen and Zhu Xiaochang were suddenly gone.
Zhang Fuling bowed slightly and asked:
"Doctor Peng, is there any way to detect whose child this stillbirth is?"
