Wei Zhang wants to deny it.
But when Duan Xiangjun jumped into the river, many people were present, including county magistrate Zhong and Wei Zhang. Everyone heard what he said, and he couldn't bear not to admit it.
He couldn't lie, so he had to explain dryly.
"At that time, I just casually said that she was so stupid that she really jumped when she was asked to jump. Besides, I wasn't the only one who let her jump at that time. Other people also said such words. You can't blame me. It's too unfair to me. "
The more sophistic he was, the more angry Lu Hongfeng became.
"If you were a man, you should dare!"
Wei Zhang curled his mouth: "you're standing and talking without backache. I really want you to encounter this kind of thing. I'm afraid you hide faster than me."
"You!"
Lu Hongfeng was so angry that he blackened in front of his eyes and fainted again.
King Ning hurriedly said, "come on, help Lu Yushi down and have a rest."
Two attendants helped Lu Hongfeng leave.
King Ning looked at Wei Zhang, always smiling on his white fat face. At this time, there was no smile. As a superior, his momentum spread silently, which made Wei Zhang unable to lift his head.
"Do you know sin?"
Wei Zhang stared at the cold sweat on his forehead and said in a trembling voice, "Duan committed suicide. Many people saw it at that time, and the county magistrate also saw it. It really has nothing to do with the grass people! Yes, the grass-roots people said a few unpleasant words, but they can't condemn the grass-roots people for this? "
"I'm not asking about Duan's suicide, but about you spreading rumors about Princess Qiuyang."
Wei Zhang's face turned pale for a moment, but his mouth was still arguing for himself: "I just listened to others and followed them. I really didn't mean to slander the princess. If you really want to catch people, you should catch the rumor maker."
Ning Wang stopped talking.
Seeing that he was silent, Wei Zhang thought he had a way. He hurriedly said, "I was wrong. My fault is that I shouldn't listen to other people's rumors. I apologize to the Lord and the princess. Please forgive me this time. I promise I won't do it again in the future."
King Ning looked at Jiang Weiwei and looked for advice.
Jiang nodded slightly and said seriously, "Wei Zhang is right. Since we want to catch the rumor maker, we should catch him."
Wei Zhang's heart was happy and hurriedly echoed: "the princess is right. That man dared to spread rumors and slander the princess. He must be arrested and severely punished!"
"In your opinion, what do you think should be done with the rumor monger?"
Wei Zhang now wants to blame all his mistakes on the rumor monger. Naturally, what's cruel and how to do it.
"The princess has a noble status. It's hard to blame that man for daring to slander the princess. In my opinion, we should cut off his tongue so that he can't make trouble again in his life, and then hang him in the sun. It's best for everyone to see and make an example to see who dares to speak ill of the princess in the future!"
Jiang gently clapped: "that's very good."
It is reasonable to say that Wei Zhang should be happy. After all, from Jiang Weiwei's reaction, he should not intend to continue to investigate his responsibility.
But I don't know why, when he saw the seemingly meaningless smile on Jiang Weiwei's face, he had an unspeakable sense of uneasiness.
It seems that something bad is about to happen.
Jiang looked slightly at Zhong shuran.
"Since his father said so, let's do what he said."
Zhong shuran nodded and said, "here."
He called Lei Jing in and whispered two words.
Lei Jing nodded and turned away.
Wei Zhang resisted his uneasy premonition and asked carefully, "what did the princess mean by that just now? What do you mean by someone's own father? "
Jiang Wei smiled genially: "don't worry, you'll know later."
The more she laughed, the more uneasy he became.
Jiang Shuan specially sent his daughter to the county government to support her so that she would not be bullied.
At this time, he can be sure that his daughter has the ability to solve the problem by herself. He just needs to sit next to a good play.
He is in a good mood now. He is crossing his legs and holding cantaloupes in his hand. He eats them sweetly. He is completely a gesture of eating melons.
Seeing that King Ning often looked at himself, he grinned and asked, "Lord, do you want to try it too? This cantaloupe is very sweet. "
King Ning wanted to maintain his majesty as a lord, but this idea lasted only three seconds and was defeated by the temptation of delicious food.
"Give me one."
Jiang Shuan specially picked a big and round cantaloupe and handed it to him.
Ning Wang took the cantaloupe and bit it. The juice overflowed. It was really sweet!
The others didn't speak, and there was only a melon eating duet in the room.
Lei Jing finally came back.
"Report back to your honor. The prisoner has been brought here."
Zhong Shu ran said, "bring people in."
Lei Jing dragged a prisoner in.
The prisoner was disheveled and covered with blood. Because he didn't take a bath for several days, he could smell a bad smell all the way.
Even though he was often beaten beyond recognition, Wei Zhang recognized it at a glance, blurted out and exclaimed.
"Chi?!"
As soon as Wei Chi heard his father's voice, he was stunned. He suddenly looked up, opened two red and swollen eyes, and shouted hoarsely, "Dad! Dad, help me! They're killing me! "
"Hit you? Why did they hit you? "
Wei Chi hesitated to answer.
Lei Jing, standing nearby, helped to answer.
"He is the initiator of slandering Princess Qiuyang."
Wei Zhang was stiff and didn't dare to set the channel: "it's impossible! There must be some misunderstanding! "
Lei Jing raised his hand and patted Wei Chi on the back.
"Tell him, is there any misunderstanding?"
Wei Chi was afraid of being beaten again. Even though he was unwilling in every way, he still opened his mouth slowly.
"I made a rumor. I was drunk and took other people's money. On impulse, I said a few words to slander Princess Qiuyang."
When Wei Zhang heard him finish, the last chance was extinguished, and there was only one idea left in his heart——
finished!
Wei Chi shouted his father again. Seeing that he didn't respond, he became more and more flustered.
Zhong shuran said, "you maliciously spread rumors and slander Princess Qiuyang. Originally, I wanted to sentence you to serve corvee for five years, but your father just said that your behavior is inexcusable and must be severely punished! There's no way. I can only increase the punishment on you. Don't blame me for being cruel. If you want to blame me, blame your father for being too selfless. "
Wei Chi screamed, "Dad, how can you say that? I'm your own son! "
Wei Zhang was in a panic and hurriedly explained: "it's not what you think. I don't know that the rumor maker is you. I want to know if it's you. I certainly won't say those words just now."
Then he begged to Zhong Shu.
"Xian Zun, I was talking nonsense just now. Don't take it seriously!"
