After rebirth, the princess made and dragged

Chapter 118 One person and one hundred taels

Not long after, the sound of flying horse hooves and the clang of weapons could be heard in the street.

The onlookers were driven away by the brigade of officers and soldiers, and they could only crowd on both sides of the street to continue watching.

When the ladies saw the officers and soldiers coming, they seemed to be grasping at straws to save their lives, and they all went up to ask for help.

The leading officers and soldiers were surprised when they saw these "scorched"-looking ladies.

"Mrs. Wang, what happened?"

"She," Mrs. Wang pointed at Gu Mingshu angrily, "is spreading rumors to cause trouble and insulting our reputation. Arrest her quickly."

The officers and soldiers came with the order from King Hailing. Qin Yue was not seen at this time, so they thought it was inconvenient for him to show up, so they secretly helped these ladies.

After all, now that Qin Yue and the adults are officials in the court, it is also good for him to help the people next to them.

"Madams, please come with us. In court, we hope you will accuse the guilty party."

The leader of the officers and soldiers said, and asked the officers and soldiers to protect the ladies, and escorted Gu Mingshu and Ruan Meiniang to Jingzhao Mansion together.

Qin Yue remained calm and followed him secretly with the four maids of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Mr. Luo of Jingzhao Mansion learned that the wife of the Minister of Rites was being humiliated in the street, and he immediately took the case to court.

Among the ladies, although their husbands were high-ranking officials, most of them did not have official titles, and even if they did, they were not as good as the governor of Jingzhao.

Seeing Mr. Jingzhao Mansion, all the ladies knelt down and begged for justice.

"Master Luo, this wild man humiliated us in broad daylight and the sun, he must be sentenced to death. If you cannot handle it justly, my husband will not give up easily." Mrs. Luo opened her mouth and offered her husband the position of Minister of Rites.

Adult pressure.

Mr. Luo secretly coughed and said: "I will act impartially in accordance with the laws of the Great Zhao Dynasty, and will never spare the wrongdoers lightly. In broad daylight, there are people under the emperor's feet who are so bold. If I don't investigate strictly, how can I be worthy of it?"

Your Majesty."

Mr. Luo shouted loudly, but in the blink of an eye he saw that the "man" who caused the trouble was standing with his lips pursed and not kneeling. He slapped the tree and said angrily: "You are so bold and unruly, and you still don't kneel down when you see me."

Gu Mingshu curled her lips and said, "Sir, according to the laws of the Great Zhao Dynasty, I don't need to kneel to you. Instead, you should give me a chair. I don't want a bamboo chair, cool."

Mr. Luo was stunned for a moment, and then he blew his beard and glared in anger.

Looking at the capital, he knew almost all men who did not need to kneel when entering the Jingzhao Mansion Court. This young man, who was neither a prince nor a prince, had no reason not to kneel.

"How dare you, who are you, how dare you utter such arrogant words in court?" Mr. Luo said angrily.

Gu Mingshu stepped forward and said: "I don't know what his identity is. May I ask, sir, what is the identity of the second-grade imperial concubine whom the emperor decreed to personally seal?"

"Wha, what? Second grade imperial decree?" Mr. Luo stuttered for a moment.

The ladies kneeling in the hall also looked at Gu Mingshu in shock.

Mr. Luo looked at Gu Mingshu and suddenly realized what he was doing. He was stunned and said angrily: "How dare you pretend to be a royal minister. You dare to pretend to be someone who can't even tell whether she is a man or a woman. Come on, why?

I'll fight."

Just as Mr. Luo was drawing the lots, Gu Mingshu made a "slow" gesture, took out a silk handkerchief, and wiped her face.

After wiping it for a few times, he took off his coat in a dignified manner, revealing the girl's outfit underneath, and continued wiping his face.

Now, everyone could see clearly. This was not a handsome man with delicate features. He was clearly a pretty girl disguised as a man.

"Hailing Princess Qin Gu, I have met you, sir." Gu Mingshu bowed slightly and saluted.

When Mr. Luo saw it, his courage trembled. He shook his hand on the lotus tube and knocked the lotus tube over on the desk.

His own daughter-in-law was beaten so hard by this master that she was still in bed and unable to get off the floor. Now she was the emperor's decree. If he really tortured her, it would be tantamount to contempt for the power of heaven and disrespect for the emperor. This would be a serious crime of beheading.

If she doesn't let him kneel down to her, she is already showing mercy.

Mr. Luo couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly went down to the hall, bowed his hands and saluted, "I have met the Princess. I didn't know the identity of the Princess just now. I have offended you so much. Please forgive me."

Gu Mingshu hummed, "Give me a chair, and then you can try the case impartially."

"yes!"

Mr. Luo hurriedly asked someone to bring a chair to Gu Mingshu, and served tea. After saluting again, he sat back behind the desk.

Neither party could be acquitted, and Mr. Luo's attitude towards the trial also changed accordingly.

Before, he wanted to resolve the case categorically. Now, he can only adjust gently and carefully ask about the cause of the incident. His words all revealed the hope of "could this be a misunderstanding".

How could the ladies have imagined that the little bitch who grasps the "true nature" of men so well is actually the princess they are mocking and insulting, Gu Mingshu.

For a moment, no one knew what to say.

Among those kneeling in the hall, Ruan Meiniang was the most anxious and resentful.

Originally, her plan was perfect and extremely effective, but Gu Mingshu was like her nemesis, but he came out to kill her at this moment.

She could still defend herself from other things, so she took Gu Mingshu's arm and told her that it was not her fault.

Originally he was upright, but he was competing for favor, and now he is in court, and I really don't know how to deal with it.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mr. Luo looked embarrassed and could only look at Gu Mingshu cautiously.

"Princess, you are both noble people, and suddenly you got into an argument on the street. What misunderstanding was there? Can you tell us?"

Gu Mingshu glanced coldly at the ladies, no one dared to raise their head to look at her.

"Since you won't tell me, let me tell you." Gu Mingshu sat on the chair, the princess was full of momentum. "Sir, the reason why I tease these ladies is because they are gathering together to spread rumors about the concubine of Prince Hailing."

Lord Luo glanced at Ruan Meiniang and motioned to Gu Mingshu to continue.

"I don't know why Concubine Ruan wanted to pawn. But they ridiculed her and asked her to go to Zuichun Tower to make money. This is obviously calling Hailing Palace a brothel." Gu Mingshu said.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but argue, "We didn't say that Hailing Palace is a brothel. We didn't ask her to list it, but... it was just a suggestion. And she was born in a brothel."

Mr. Luo frowned, with a troubled expression on his face.

Of course he also knew Ruan Meiniang's background. The ladies' presumptuous comments were of course wrong, but what they said was also true.

As for the charge of calling Hailing Palace a brothel, it sounds like it was imposed on them, but it cannot be denied that it may have this underlying meaning.

Hard to break!

Gu Mingshu's expression suddenly became majestic and said: "Doesn't this mean that you are calling me a madam and calling my prince a wanderer? Mr. Luo, what is the crime for slandering and insulting the prince and princess of the dynasty?"

Mr. Luo said hurriedly: "The light punishment may be flogging with the palm of the mouth, or the more severe punishment may be imprisonment."

The ladies hissed in a low voice. If this really puts them in jail, their lives will be ruined.

They were used to being noble, so how could they go to a dirty and painful place like prison?

Gu Mingshu picked up the teacup and took a sip. When she put the teacup down, she deliberately made a banging sound, which frightened the ladies.

"Although they humiliated me first, I did tease them just now. Madams have noble status and are not suitable for torture. I think the punishment of whipping with the palm and mouth will be waived." Gu Mingshu said.

The ladies were shocked and looked up at Gu Mingshu. They never imagined that she would choose to show mercy to them.

Mr. Luo wiped his forehead secretly, his heart was filled with joy and he exclaimed that it was very good.

"Your Majesty, the Princess, is in large numbers, and I am impressed by the rank and file."

Gu Mingshu narrowed her eyes and said: "The punishment can be waived, but the punishment must be meted out. I think that's it, I just want them to accompany me for a hundred taels each."

Hearing this, Mr. Luo hurriedly said: "What the Queen Concubine said is absolutely true. In this way, she has not violated the Jokhang Law, but also shows her kindness outside the law. Madams, then each of you will compensate the Queen Concubine one hundred taels of silver.

The case was settled.
