Being rebuked by Yan Song, Bao Zheng's aura could not help but weaken.
At this moment, Qin Xianglian felt that something was wrong and quickly shouted,""Even if the first charge is not established, there should be a second charge of murder, right?”
Bao Zheng nodded after being yelled at by Qin Xianglian.""Then let's start the second charge.”
"Wait!" Yan Song suddenly said.
"What's the matter, Grand Secretary Yan?" Bao Zheng glared at Yan Song.”
Yan Song had interrupted Bao Zheng several times just now, and he was still in pain. He hated Yan Song very much.
Yan Song said seriously," Princess He Yu is the princess of the current dynasty. She is a descendant of the royal family. A commoner's daughter has casually accused the princess and even caused a huge loss to the princess's reputation. If she is not punished, then in the future, wouldn't anyone be able to maliciously slander the princess, or the empress dowager, or the emperor? Even if he was not a member of the royal family but a commoner, if he was falsely accused and the truth was not found out, how miserable would he end up?”
This was still a loophole. Yan Song didn't know what the mastermind's motive was. He actually didn't warn Qin Xianglian.
"That's right," the Empress Dowager was satisfied.”
When the surrounding commoners heard this, they felt that it made sense. They did not commit crimes themselves, but they were afraid that others would frame them. If they were accused of a crime, it would be a small matter if they went bankrupt. If the crime was serious, they would be exiled and beheaded.
This treacherous official Yan Song had poked the G-spot in their hearts.
Bao Zheng nodded. As an expert in handling cases and proficient in the law of the country, Bao Zheng naturally knew the crime of false accusation. Moreover, it involved the princess of the current dynasty, so the crime was increased.
"I'm innocent, my lord!" Qin Xianglian was terrified. I'm innocent!"
Yan Song sneered at her,"Wronged? Do you think Lord Bao made a mistake in judging the case?”
Bao Zheng hesitated for a moment and finally said," The charge of false accusation is established, and the charge of false accusation against the princess is increased. As for the punishment... I'll let you go..."
"Wait!" Yan Song stopped her and shouted," Qin Xianglian is the plaintiff of this case after all. I think the case needs to be handled in a fair and square manner to convince the people. Then, we should temporarily suppress the punishment. After the case is over, we can execute her."”
The commoners nodded in unison once again. Although this Yan Song was a treacherous official, this 'convincing the commoners' warmed their hearts.
Qin Xianglian panicked.
It was a pity that Yan Song had cunningly used the concept of stealing, uniting the princess and the commoners into a 'victim's alliance'. After a few consecutive blows, Qin Xianglian's image had already changed. She had become a false accuser and an' enemy 'of the commoners. It was difficult for her to gain the approval of the commoners for the time being.
At this point, Qin Xianglian's Great Light Golden Body had been shattered. She could no longer stand at the top of morality and attack the princess in the name of justice.
This was the core!
Yan Song smiled as he looked at the case. It was under his control step by step.
Soon, the second charge of the princess's trial began. She had either sent someone to kill the righteous Han Qi, or instructed Qin Xianglian to be exiled to the border. Halfway through, the officials were ordered to kill her, or sent someone to kill the witness, the Qi couple...
Bao Zheng summoned various witnesses, but in the end, they all proved that this was only the action of the son-in-law, Chen Shimei. The princess was completely in the dark.
Actually, the princess was also stunned. She did not know anything about this.
An hour later, Bao Zheng bid for the gavel."After the interrogation, Qin Fu's charges against the princess were not established.”
The process of the trial was clear and convincing.
When the Empress Dowager saw that the Princess was cleared of suspicion under Bao Zheng's trial, her cold and stern face finally softened a little. She expressed her admiration for Bao Zheng, but she still couldn't help but feel a little knot in her heart. Fortunately, with Bao Qingtian's endorsement, the princess's reputation was naturally preserved.
Yan Song applauded and praised,"Lord Bao is indeed good at investigating cases."”
Bao Zheng's face was dark. I'm naturally good at investigating cases, but your praise makes it seem like I want your praise.
The Empress Dowager stood up and shouted to the people outside,""Since this widow's little darling has been cleared of suspicion, then this widow will take advantage of this time to announce something to the world.”
The eunuch behind the Empress Dowager took out a yellow brocade."
"Empress Dowager's decree…"
Everyone knelt down in unison, be it Bao Zheng or the commoners outside the arena.
"Princess He Yu is kind and pure…(omitted)…Prince Consort Chen Shimei has deceived His Majesty…(omitted)…It is hereby announced that Princess He Yu and Chen Shimei are divorced.”
The eunuch's voice was sharp, and everyone in the government office could hear it clearly. When he said the word " divorce ", the entire government office buzzed in shock.
Countless commoners could not believe their ears.
Separation? The princess and Li?
This was an unprecedented event.
However, on second thought, he felt that it was reasonable. How could a beast like Chen Shimei be with a pure princess? It was simply a stain on the princess!
"It's over, it's over." Chen Shimei was exhausted.”
He had originally hoped that the kind princess would not bear to see him down and out for the sake of being husband and wife and would definitely help him. But now, everything was over.
The next thing to do was to try Chen Shimei's case.
However, Qin Xianglian had fallen from her pedestal and was no longer as holy and righteous as before. She and Chen Shimei were just dog-eat-dog, and it was nothing more than a mouthful of fur.
Many commoners felt that this case was not interesting and left one after another. They were already thinking about how to brag to their relatives and neighbors.
At this moment, Qin Xianglian had nowhere to vent the endless pain in her heart.
In fact, her initial goal was to use her identity as the first wife to suppress the princess and make the princess lower her head. In the future, she would be considered half the mistress of the Fuma residence so that she could live a luxurious life and enjoy the feeling of being looked up to by others. Who knew that Chen Shimei was extremely heartless and did not give him a chance. She even sent people to kill him. After meeting those people, things became even more chaotic.
Everything was out of her control.
