On the solemn public hall, two columns of officials stood on both sides like iron fences, surrounding Zhang Rui, who was kneeling in the middle.
Cheng Muyou was wearing a black official uniform, standing under the plaque with four big characters hanging on the mirror, he looked at the figure below that seemed to have been thinned down overnight, "Zhang Rui, are you guilty?"
” Zhang Rui shook his head slowly, and his sweat-soaked hair was messy on his face, reflecting the originally handsome face a little penetrating, "The villain hasn't done anything, he hasn't done anything." ” "A total of seventeen corpses have been dug up from the ground of your house, one belongs to Cui Yu, one has been confirmed to belong to Li Meng, who disappeared ten years ago, and there are still fifteen bodies that have not been identified, what else do you have to defend this matter?"
"The villain doesn't know why those corpses are in the ground."
Cheng Muyou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Zhang Rui, do you know that the three words 'don't know' in the court mean that you have given up the opportunity to defend yourself." ” Zhang Rui raised his head, his face turned white, "Adult, the villain really doesn't know, you ask ten thousand times, the villain still only has this answer." ” Cheng Muyou nodded, "Okay, what happened when I met you in Lingyun Mountain the day before yesterday, why was that Yan'er's body next to you?"
” "I also explained to the adults that day, I just happened to encounter a goat, it seemed to be eating people, I wanted to chase it away, so I chased it, I didn't think that the sheep saw me and ran away, and then, my lord, you appeared."
"But there's a sheep's horn hidden under your bed."
Cheng Muyou glanced at Shi Jin, Shi Jin nodded knowingly, walked out of the court quickly, and when he came back, he had an extra cloth bag in his hand, and he put the cloth bag in front of Zhang Rui and opened it, revealing the forked horns inside.
"How do you explain this horn?"
Cheng Muyou stared at Zhang Rui's face, unwilling to let go of any change in his face.
Zhang Rui gasped, "Adult, villain doesn't know what's going on." ” "Zhang Rui" Zhang Rui Chong Cheng Muyou kowtowed heavily, "The villain knows what the adult wants to say, but all these things are not done by the villain, so I can't explain half a word, the villain trusts the adult in every way, I just hope that the adult can see the details, find out the real black hand behind it, and return the villain's innocence." ” Cheng Muyou looked at him fixedly for a while, and when he saw that his eyes were clear and his face was resolute, he knew that he couldn't pry anything out of his mouth no matter what, he looked at the official beside him, "Take him down, this case will be postponed for retrial." ” Zhang Rui was sandwiched between the two officials and walked to the door of the court, and halfway through, he suddenly turned around, "My lord, how is my mother doing?"
” "She has not recovered and is not fit for arraignment today."
Zhang Rui was shocked, "What do you mean, my mother was also arrested by the government?"
” Cheng Muyou nodded at him, "You have always lived with your mother, if you make a mistake, how can she not know" Zhang Rui didn't listen to the next words, his tears blinded his eyes, and he kept muttering: "Mother, it's the son who is not filial, so that you are old, and you have to suffer from this prison, my son can't stand you, I can't stand you." ” "What?
Did he do it all?
Jun Sheng looked at the maid Xiaobei who came in to report the news, and his face was full of panic.
Xiaobei hurriedly motioned to her to lower her voice, "Miss, you keep quiet, I finally sneaked out to find out the news, if I let the master know, I have to break my leg by him." ” Jun Sheng forced herself to calm down, she took Xiaobei's hand and stared at her with wide eyes, "He admitted that he killed Cui Yu and Yan'er?"
And those dozen or so others?
” Xiaobei nodded, "According to the information I inquired, it is like this.
She looked at Jun Sheng with some rejoicing, "Miss, thanks to your blessings, everyone who met him on the mountain that day was killed, only you" Jun Sheng didn't listen to her and stood up, walking towards the door like a fly, Xiaobei didn't come back to her senses, she had already walked out of the courtyard, disappeared into the bustling crowd, no matter how Mrs.
You and a group of maids called behind her back, she didn't look back.
The drum of grievances was in front of him, and Jun Sheng had passed in front of it countless times, but he never thought that one day, he would ring it with his own hands to save the life of the person he loved.
She pulled out her drumsticks and just wanted to smash them into the drum surface, but her arm was clamped by a big hand, and when she turned around, she saw Master You standing behind her, with a look of begging in addition to anger in her eyes.
"Today, my father can't let you beat this drum, your reputation has already been ruined, and now you have to desperately save this murderer, do you want to live in the future, how can you let me and your mother live in Xin'an City in the future."
Jun Sheng saw that his father's hair was not tied properly, so he knew how anxious he was to chase him, her heart was sour, and tears fell, she slowly knelt down with a drumstick in her hand, "Dad, I understand everything, but there is an innocent person locked up here, I can't just watch him lose his life." ” Old Man You was angry and pointed to the gate of Xin'an Mansion, "But he has admitted it himself, what reason do you have to defend him." ” "I know why he recruited them all, he is for his mother, if he doesn't take care of the matter, Aunt Zhang will be locked up in prison together.
Zhang Rui is a person of great filial piety, and it is impossible for his mother to suffer a little.
Jun Sheng tugged on his father's trouser legs, "Dad, please don't stop your daughter, whether you agree or disagree today, I will go to this official mansion." ” "Smack."
A slap on the head and face fell, and landed on Jun Sheng's face, as hot as a fire.
"If you want to go, you can go, but from now on, don't call me dad again, I will treat you as if I never gave birth to your daughter, and the relationship between our father and daughter will be broken, and you will not come to me again in the future, whether you live or live."
After Master You finished speaking hatefully, he walked down the stairs without looking back, leaving Junsheng to sit on the ground alone.
There were more and more onlookers, the crowd stretched their necks to look inside, pointing at her and discussing, Jun Sheng knew what they were talking about, but he didn't look at those people, she wiped away her tears, raised the drumstick in her hand, and desperately smashed it on the gray drum surface.
"My lord, Zhang Rui is innocent, please be aware of everything, don't wronged good people."
Outside the crowd, Yan Niang was looking in through layers of backs, her eyes fell on Jun Sheng's thin but upright body, she smiled lightly, and sighed, "Such an infatuated woman is rare now." ” The right ear pouted, "Love is really terrible, look at this girl's appearance, there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of her, and she is going to break through." ”
