Chapter 1951: Chapter 1951: The Joint Trial of the Three Departments (Part 4)
As the ladies from prominent families who had fallen ill gradually recovered, Yang Ruxin’s fame grew increasingly, but now the most widespread demand was for severe punishment of the Longfeng Embroidery Village, and it was very intense.
At this time, Wei Bingyi entered Beijing.
Unfortunately, Wei Bingyi hadn’t met Wei Shicheng yet, nor had he entered the Wei Residence; he was seized at the city gates by the Imperial Guards and then taken to the Public Security Bureau.
Because the person in charge of Longfeng Embroidery Village had arrived, the Emperor decreed a joint trial of the Three Judicial Departments.
The Three Judicial Departments comprise the Court of Judicial, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Public Security Bureau.
The heads of the three departments were all extremely furious. Why? Because each had girls in their families poisoned, especially the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Punishment, Gu Qingheng. His granddaughter was set to marry at the end of the year, but such a thing happened. Thankfully, there was Madam Ruyi, or else the marriage might have been canceled.
So, everyone truly hated the Wei Family with a passion.
Wei Bingyi was actually still bewildered, not knowing why the Government Official arrested him, and he was clamoring to find Wei Shicheng, but no one paid attention to him. He was thrown directly into prison.
Where had he ever suffered such hardship? Every day the thing Wei Bingyi shouted the most was wanting to see the head of the Court of Judicial.
"Master Wei, stop shouting, you’ll be taken to see the head of the Court of Judicial now." Bin Kui walked in with a smile, then signaled a prison guard, "Open it."
Wei Bingyi hesitated for a moment. He wasn’t foolish; at this point, he really understood that the previous news wasn’t false, the Embroidery Store was indeed in trouble, and he couldn’t help but regret. If only... if only he hadn’t come to Beijing.
Unfortunately, there’s no regret medicine sold in the world.
The joint trial was also conducted at the Public Security Bureau, with Lord Jiang presiding over the trial.
The public trial took place on the second day after Wei Bingyi’s arrest.
And when Wei Bingyi learned of the details, upon hearing that those dolls had caused dozens of prominent families’ daughters in Beijing to be poisoned, he collapsed, knowing the Wei Family was finished.
During the public trial, he didn’t expect so many people to attend, and there were basically no ordinary citizens, all were well-known victims.
When Wei Bingyi was brought up to the hall, he felt as though he was about to lose control of his bowels.
"Your honor, I’m wronged. These items weren’t made by our Wei Family, it’s all..." Wei Bingyi turned his head and suddenly saw Gu Qingheng, his eyes lit up, "It’s all his family that did it, they harmed people, it has nothing to do with us..."
Gu Qingheng blinked, seemingly a bit confused.
"Yes, it’s him, it’s his wife Yang Ruxin, that wicked woman..."
Slap!
The word "wicked woman" had just come out, and he was immediately slapped hard across the mouth.
"Insulting the Imperial Court’s noble woman, this is a lesson." The one who acted was Congxin.
Lord Jiang instinctively turned his head, his mouth twitching slightly, obviously feeling the pain for the other person. The other two elders also bowed their heads, evidently believing the person deserved it.
Wei Bingyi was stunned by the hit: "What Imperial Court’s noble woman?"
Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but sigh. She hadn’t had much interaction with this Wei Bingyi before, only meeting him once at the wedding, and didn’t feel much. Now it seemed this person wasn’t very bright.
Someone like him leading the Wei Family, even without this revenge initiative from herself, the Wei Family would likely fall to ruin soon.
"Master Wei, I’m just a fifth-rank General, but my wife was personally conferred the third-rank title of Madam Ruyi by the Emperor, with a golden booklet and a golden seal..." Gu Qingheng chuckled, "So when you call Madam Ruyi a wicked woman, are you saying the Emperor cannot recognize people?"
