Marriage Under the Heavens
Chapter 20: Court trial
The night is strange and beautiful.
The bright moon in the sky is not dimmed by the disputes in the world, it exudes a cold and gloomy light, shining all over everyone.
Under the **** of Jin Wuwei, Qin Jiu walked down the mountain along the mountain road.
The mountain breeze swept across his cheeks, whimpering like a Huqin singing outside the gate. The air was icy cold, and it felt like a palpitating chill when inhaled in the lungs.
The winding mountain road was illuminated by the light of lanterns as bright as day, and the dark rocks and bare trees on both sides of the mountain road were clearly presented in front of the eyes.
Yan Su controlled the horse slowly in front of Qin Jiu, and his black hair and brocade robe were blown by the mountain breeze, as if he wanted to fly. His back is tall and thin, and he has a natural deterrent that makes people want to look up.
Qin Jiu squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and the tall figure in front of him gradually overlapped with the other figure.
The young man sits straddling the Zhaoye Lion White, dressed in a bright purple ribbon riding horse, with a jade belt tied around his waist, wearing ribbon black riding boots, and wearing a cloak embroidered with cloud patterns of the same color. The young man has handsome eyebrows, strong heroic spirit, and full of energy. Holding a bow and arrow in his hand, squinting, aiming, and drawing the bow. Because of the force, the muscles under the clothes stretched, bulging the strong clothes on the body. The young and handsome face was still shining with sweat from the galloping horse.
At that time, her heart seemed to be shot by this arrow.
"Master Qin, please get on the carriage!" Xie Dichen's voice came in his ears.
Qin Jiu realized that in a daze, he had already descended the mountain road with a carriage parked in front of him.
On the side of the carriage, Yan Su reined in his horse, and looked back at her. Under the moonlight, his bright eyes were sharp and his indifferent and cold eyes were suffocating.
Qin Jiu squinted and said with a smile: "A criminal like me still has a carriage, thank you, Your Highness." Qin Jiu smiled and got into the carriage, leaning on the pad of the carriage, and closed his eyes.
She is really tired.
I am afraid there is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow. At this moment, the most important thing is to recharge. Qin Jiu relaxed and felt a little drowsy.
I don't know how long it took, the carriage stopped and the curtain was lifted.
Qin Jiu opened his eyes, knowing that he was in the prison of Jing Fu Yin.
Qin Jiu yawned, walked down from the carriage, and was escorted by the jailer into the prison. She did not stay in prison for long before she was taken to the lobby for trial.
In fact, Qin Jiu knew very well that the case she committed was not a big one, but because of her special status, it was committed by Yan Su, and this case was not a small one.
The hour has passed, and the morning sun is rising.
The gate of the Yin Hall of Jingfu opened, and the officials separated on both sides. With a "rise to the hall", the officials shouted "Mighty". The low and majestic voices spread out in waves, making the hearts of the people watching the excitement outside.
A few traces of sunlight leaked from the cracks of the vermilion window, turning into cloud-like strands of light, faintly rendered on the black moire stone brick surface.
Qin Jiu knelt under the lobby, squinting his eyes to study the patterns on the black stone bricks.
Sitting in the hall were Yin Menghuai, the mansion of Lijingcheng, and King Anling who was hearing the trial.
Meng Huai was a lean old man who looked like he was in his fifties, with a pair of small eyes with a shrewd light.
There are many powerful and powerful people in Lijing City, and working as a mansion in the capital, there is not much ability to go back and forth, and it is absolutely impossible to mix.
Meng Huai stroked his beard, looked at Qin Jiu who was studying the pattern of the floor tiles below, and looked at the cold-faced King Anling beside him, and his heart beat a drum.
He naturally knew that King Anling and Tianchen Sect had always been wrong. Now, as soon as this new disciple of the Tianchen Sect arrived in the capital, he was arrested by King Anling, charged with adultery of a good young man practicing evil arts. If this is true, the Tianchen Sect is only afraid of being discredited, and the system of sending a disciple to serve for the court every few years may also be cancelled. However, now that Tianchen Sect is in full force in the court, the concubine Hui in the palace is not easy to deal with. He is really embarrassed to handle this case. It's just that the Anling King in front of him, he can't afford to offend him even more.
Meng Huai thought for a while. Since King Anling sent the case for trial in person, he was afraid that he would have to deal with this Tianchenzong disciple strictly.
He squinted his eyes, slammed the gavel and shouted and asked: "The sinner Qin Jiu, you persecuted the young man from the good family, committed adultery, and forced them to practice evil arts. Are you convicted?"
Qin Jiu slowly raised his head, glanced at Meng Huai from the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Where did Master Meng start with this? The little woman just took a hot spring in Princess Zhaoping's palace, so why did she commit adultery? Now?" Qin Jiu's tone was like a spring breeze, and his smile was pure as a lotus, but Meng Huai vaguely felt the faint coercion in these soft eyes.
Meng Huai glanced at Yan Su, wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, and continued to ask, "I'm so brave, there are all witnesses and evidence, how can you allow you to sophistry? Come, pass on evidence."
There was a sound of footsteps in the court, and Qin Jiu squinted his eyes and looked back, and saw that her maid, Cherry, was brought up.
Qin Jiu sneered in his heart and thought: Finally the fox's tail is revealed. This is because he thought he would be able to bring himself down this time!
Cherry is Qin Jiu's maid. She served Qin Jiu in Tianchenzong for two years. For a long time, she was extremely loyal to Qin Jiu, but Qin Jiu found it difficult to trust people because of her own experience. Soon she discovered that she was actually a meticulous work of the master of Guanju Gate, Yao Xier, who had inserted her by her side. His daily words and deeds and the attitude of the Sect Master toward her were all passed to Yao Xi'er through Cherry.
Qin Jiu was not originally coming to Lijing this time.
The suzerain sent Yao Xier of Guanjumen.
Qin Jiu knew that Yao Xier was obsessed with the lord, and naturally he was willing to stay with the lord instead of coming to Lijing. This is because most of the women who came to Lijing’s Tianchen Sect over the years would marry the powers of the dynasty and enter the inner circle, such as Huifei. Yao Xier was naturally unwilling.
When Qin Jiu entered Tianchen Sect, he originally wanted to come to Lijing via Tianchen Sect, so why would he let this opportunity pass. Then, taking advantage of the chance of the Sect Master's retreat and practice, using Cherry's meticulous work, the news of the Sect Master's adoration of him was spread to Yao Xi'er piecemeal.
Yao Xier soon begged the right envoy to send herself over because of her illness.
That's not to say, Qin Jiu can guarantee that the assassins sent by Yao Xier will be indispensable for the several assassinations they have encountered on the way to Lijing. I am afraid that in Yao Xier's heart, he is the rival that hinders her the most.
Except for durian and loquat, most of Qin Jiu's people are the people of the suzerain, so Qin Jiu didn't bother to fight back.
Let them kill each other, kill them all.
Cherry did little tricks to herself along the way, but in the end she didn't succeed.
Now, I am afraid that Yao Xier has given an ultimatum. Cherry will take advantage of this opportunity to borrow Yan Su's hand to get rid of herself.
However, they think so beautifully.
