Chapter 299: All Sued He Yong
He Yong was even more stunned.
It turned out to be Zhou. Lin Hecheng had been looking for her for many days, but he didn't expect her to show up here. She even dared to file a complaint against him?
He Yong immediately stood up and walked to Zhou, preparing to kick her.
But he was caught by the second prince with his quick eyes and hands.
"Minister He, this is the imperial court, not your home."
He Yong met the Second Prince's eyes, intending to intimidate him.
But he didn't expect that although the Second Prince was young, his aura was no less powerful. The fierceness in his eyes even made He Yong feel a little timid.
The prince spoke at this time: "Father, since Zhou has made a false accusation, she should be tried."
The Great Chu Emperor nodded and told Zhou to come forward: "If you have any grievances, just tell me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Zhou took a few steps forward and knelt down again. "My daughter, Lin Yin, was murdered by He Yong's daughter, He Yunyao. She was raped and killed by the bandits outside. It was a tragic scene that could not be horrified."
"But afterwards, the He family not only refused to admit it, but also wanted to send their daughter He Yunyao away to destroy the evidence."
He Yong was not happy after hearing this. He pointed at Zhou and started to curse: "You bitch, you sold my daughter to the kiln and she suffered such humiliation. Why didn't you tell me?"
After hearing this, Zhou straightened up and looked at the Great Chu Emperor: "Your Majesty, I have repeatedly asked Jingzhao Prefecture to investigate, and even the Third Prince said he would make the decision for me, but in the end, there was no response."
Hearing this, the Emperor of Great Chu frowned. Jin Chen was actually involved in this matter.
The Third Prince looked at the Emperor of Great Chu guiltily, but did not dare to say anything.
It’s not so much that he didn’t dare, but rather that he couldn’t think of any good reason at the moment.
After all, he had never thought that someone like Zhou would dare to bring the matter to the attention of his father.
"I have begged my husband many times, but he ignored me."
"Later, His Royal Highness the Third Prince used the matter of my daughter to coerce He Yong and Lin Hecheng, and ignored my request."
"His Highness the Third Prince even sent people to guard outside Jingzhao Prefecture. If I show up, they will chase me away and not allow me to file a complaint."
"Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly and make the decision for me. As long as Your Majesty gives Lin Yin justice, I am willing to die to apologize for He Yunyao's crime." After saying this, Zhou knelt down and waited for the Emperor of Great Chu's decision.
Zhou's motherly love moved everyone present.
But there was silence in the court, and everyone was looking at Lin Hecheng and He Yong.
Lin Hecheng and He Yong dared not say a word.
They never thought that they would be destroyed by a woman.
He Yong even started to think about handing He Yunyao over so that he could save himself.
As for children, there will always be more in the future.
Of course, the third prince was also nervous. He was so frightened by what Zhou said that he dared not say a word.
He wanted to play dead, but the Great Chu Emperor did not allow him to do so. He picked up a memorial on the table and threw it at the Third Prince: "You tell me."
After this fall, I felt a little regretful.
If Wanwan were here, she would probably laugh at me for my lack of accuracy.
The Third Prince knelt down trembling with fear: "Father, please don't listen to that lady's nonsense. She is slandering me. I am now wholeheartedly assisting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could I try to win over any ministers?"
"Is that what your prince said?" As if to make the Emperor of Great Chu believe him, the Third Prince even asked the prince for help.
But it would have been better if he hadn't asked, because this question would undoubtedly have added to his suffering.
The prince just stared at him without saying a word, neither confirming nor denying.
But when the prince's action fell into the eyes of the Emperor of Chu, he naturally disapproved.
No wonder Wanwan and Qingyan usually have complaints about the Third Prince. It turns out that he was the one who tricked the Crown Prince behind the scenes. To their own regret, they even believed that Jinchen had really changed.
The Great Chu Emperor tried to control himself and said to Meng Quande, "Meng Quande, go summon the governor of Jingzhao to the court."
Just as Meng Quande was about to leave, the drums of injustice outside rang again.
The Emperor of Great Chu rubbed his forehead and felt a headache.
This clap of injustice has not been heard for many years, how come it has come together one by one?
Then he waved to Meng Quande and said, "Bring the person in first."
The people who are now beating the drum of injustice outside are none other than He Yuyao and the wife of Marquis Guangqin.
Seeing the person coming, Meng Quande was also surprised.
At this time, He Yuyao had already knelt on the ground, waiting for His Majesty's whipping, but was stopped by Meng Quande: "Miss He, His Majesty summons you in."
When He Yong saw that the person coming was He Yuyao, his brain exploded.
He said that his daughter had been quietly acting in the yard recently and he didn't know what she was doing, but he didn't expect that she would come to complain.
He Yuyao held her grandfather's memorial in her hand and walked forward step by step.
The little body is upright, without the slightest sign of cowardice.
He Yong was a little frightened when he saw her like this, and he immediately stopped her: "Yu Yao, what are you doing? Go back quickly!"
"Minister He, this is the second time you've done this today!" It was the crown prince who spoke this time. He looked stern and his tone left no room for doubt.
Even the Emperor of Great Chu couldn't help but look at the prince a little more. Today, Jin Yao has become more and more unique in his own way.
Now that the prince had spoken, He Yong naturally didn't dare to say anything more.
At this time, the third prince didn't care about these things at all. He just knelt on the ground and thought about a way out for himself.
He really couldn't bear the heavy crime of pulling all the ministers to his knees.
If the emperor favored him a little, perhaps he could just laugh it off.
But now it is obvious that his father hates him very much, and there is no one to support him. How should he deal with it?
He Yuyao walked step by step to Zhou's side and knelt down.
Zhou was resistant to He Yuyao in her heart. She had never had any contact with He Yuyao before, so she naturally thought that she was He Yong's daughter and was on He Yong's side.
Zhou's hostility naturally caught the attention of the Emperor of Chu.
He had actually suspected before that the two men had discussed this beforehand.
He Yuyao, however, was not affected by anything. She knelt down and raised the memorial in her hand high: "I am He Yuyao, the daughter of He Yong, the Minister of Works, and Pei Xian, the only daughter of the old Duke of Anguo. I am suing my father He Yong and his second wife Lin for conspiring to cause my mother's tragic death."
"What I hold in my hand is a memorial prepared by my grandfather, which details He Yong's crimes."
At this time, the wife of Marquis Guangqin, who was kneeling behind He Yuyao, also spoke: "I am the wife of Marquis Guangqin, Tian, and I am an old friend of the old wife of the Duke of Anguo. I know the cause of this matter very well, and I am willing to testify for the eldest lady of the He family."
As soon as the two of them said this, the court was in an uproar.
