Today, Nangong Hong, dressed in a black satin robe with a turquoise crown on his head, was sitting on the left side. Unlike Nangong Kairan, the current Crown Prince was handsome and elegant. He was wearing casual clothes today, and his soapy clothes accentuated his high spirits among the group of old men. Nangong Kai Ran lacked water for the five elements, so the several princes' names all carried water. As for the black master water, he loved black, and even the princes and ministers liked black. Every time a banquet was held, it would be extremely dark. If it was in the evening, only heads could be seen floating in the air, grinning from ear to ear. It was truly a terrifying sight to behold. He sat on the right, waiting for Zhou to ask about the case. This case had first caused a storm throughout the city, and then it just so happened that Qin Xiaoliu had been assassinated. Now, Qin Xiaoliu was dead, and He Chengzhi had also been killed in the palace. Of the three examiners, only Zhou Suchen was left. Nangong Hong looked at the hall and sighed.

Zhou Suchen had not finished flattering him, but Nangong Hong was already impatient, but he was a modest and gentle person, so he took the opportunity to interrupt: "This time, the main judge is Lord Zhou, Uncle Guo and I are only listening by the side, I hope Lord Zhou can begin the hearing."

Zhou Suchen glanced at the results, and then went straight to the main point. With a slap, the Ding Huang family was like a frightened bird, their bodies trembled even though they did not ask any questions.

"My lady, how could you poison your husband, Ding Youcai, with the Chen family's Sanlang? Call the truth!"

"The deceased husband died from a heavy injury and no one poisoned him. Sire, please judge."

"Murdering your husband is a serious crime, you have to think carefully before answering."

Mrs Ding Huang gave a slight sneer, like a yellow flower after a rain, it was the same every time, no matter if it was Ning Hang County or Beijing, the whole way through the interrogation was being carried out, the questions never changing. The murder of her husband was a slow execution, so she had to bite Chen Shuwen's hand and give up everything in exchange for Chen Shuwen's good fortune? If she made a mistake once, could she continue to make a mistake?

"The criminal does not need to think about it anymore. The third young master has nothing to do with this. There is a feud between Ninghang County and the Chen Family. I have made many mistakes and committed many heinous crimes, so I do not wish to entangle myself further. Her waxy face carried an incomparable amount of conviction. She looked at the haggard Chen Shuwen with guilt and alienation. Before that, when he had helped them, she had adored and admired him. And now, all love and righteousness had been obliterated in this darkness. She wanted him to be free, and she wanted him to be free. It had nothing to do with love.

"What a tricky woman, she is truly a person who cannot be beaten. Ding Huang Clan, where do you think the court is? The punishment is very strict, so don't blame this censor for not thinking about personal matters! "

"Is that so? Is it a plank or a stick? Pouring molten iron or stabbing steel? Is it a red backpack or a crochet? Or is there something new about adults? " She trembled as she spoke. She was afraid, scared to death. There were several times that she had been sentenced to death, but she still said it. After she said it, she became relaxed, incomparably relaxed. Chen Shuwen looked at her with astonishment and worry. She was also deeply upset. If you had been so unyielding back then, why would you have suffered so much?

"Du!" Zhou Suchen and Mu Chengbai's bodies trembled.

"What do you consider a court to be, for you to despise it? To the left or right, beat twenty people first, and destroy this unruly woman's prestige! "

"I won't waste any more of your time."

When Nan Gong Hong noticed her, she was actually smiling, causing him to feel sad and shout: "Don't! "Hold her mouth!" There were people in the court who could not bear the torture and there were also those who begged for their lives. They did not panic and quickly grabbed Lady Ding Huang's chin and shoved a wooden board from her waist into her mouth.

"How dare you!" "If you dare to be rash in court, fight!" As he finished speaking, he took out the black straw from the box. There were many rules governing the execution of sentences in the yamen. If it was a red straw, no matter how many he threw, it would only harm his skin. However, if it was a black straw, even if he didn't die, he would still be crippled. This was a case that could not be tried, and his orders could not be disobeyed. Then he could only listen to the stratagem of success, letting the prisoner suffer the punishment of not being able to die in court was better than provoking others.

Chen Shuwen extended her arm to speak, but just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, she saw Zhou Suchen, who was standing in the hall, lower his head and close his mouth tightly. Ding Huang glanced at the shyness that flashed across his eyes. She had never blamed him. Her limpid eyes sparkled as she looked at Nangong Hong. Nangong Hong felt as if he had arrived at the end of autumn in Jiangnan, with misty rain and gloomy clouds. He did not understand the rules and was not the head judge. Although he did not want to get involved in this, he could not help but feel anger towards this kind of trial. "Everyone stop!" He stopped the bailiff who was about to be sentenced to death, stood up and said to Zhou Suchen, "Censor Zhou, the circumstances of the case do not clarify why there is such a demand for punishment?"

Zhou Suchen trembled with fear as he stood up. He did not expect the crown prince to interfere, thinking that since he was a child in the palace, how could he have known anything about government affairs? He could only be respectful and say, "Your Highness does not know, that this woman is so mischievous. She has been repeated in the palace more than once, so she will not confess even if there is a heavy punishment."

"How can a flesh and blood body endure such torture? If there are no grievances after so many punishments, how can you still persist to this day? "

"Your Highness, if she really had any grievances, why would she confess in Ninghang County?" "It would be a shame if they did not change their words when the Board of Justice meted out their punishments to them one by one."

"Nonsense!" Nan Gong Hong's gentle face had a look of anger, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and the majesty of the royal family was fully displayed. He looked at Nan Gong Hong and spoke first: "Your Highness, please calm your anger for now, please calm your anger for now."

"I wonder what kind of brilliant idea Uncle Guo has?" Nan Gong Hong bowed slightly and controlled his anger. He still showed the attitude that a child should have when facing his own uncle.

"Your Majesty, how could this old subject have a good opinion? His Majesty and this old subject are both listening on the side of this case. In the end, we still have to rely on Lord Zhou to resolve this case." After he said that, he paused for a moment, glancing at Zhou Suchen who was looking at him with rapt attention, before changing the topic, "Lord Zhou, we are in the same court, and thus the salary of the imperial court is to be distributed to the imperial court. The people call us father and mother officials. The father and mother officials are like the biological parents of the people. The old official did not understand, nor did he care. He only wanted to interject — — "As he spoke, he pointed to Lady Ding Huang and Chen Shuwen who were kneeling on the ground." Which parents can watch their children suffer so much? The imperial government has its laws, but they do not disrespect others. I hope that Censor Zhou will be cautious. "

It seemed like the old fox didn't want to offend the Crown Prince, but how could it be easy for him to be pushed to the heart of the matter? So he could only smile and agree. He sat back on the chair and asked calmly, "Master Feng, you have a point. "Since you claim that the two of you are innocent, what evidence do you have?"

"Then, what evidence does the lord have to prove the guilt of the sinners and the Chen family's Young Master?" Ding Huang seemed to be trapped in an airtight bag. She couldn't find a single gap, and couldn't escape. She wanted to suffocate. You framed me for having an affair with Chen Shuwen, framed me for poisoning your own husband, and you beat him up without the slightest evidence. Now you want the defendant to prove that he is innocent, so what's the use of having these officials? There was actually such a funny joke in the world!

Chen Shuwen secretly looked at her, seemingly telling her not to try to be brave, but Ding Huang seemed like she couldn't see.

"How dare you!" He was simply shameless! You should not look down on the court just because of the crown prince's kindness! "

"You are the absolute bastard, your entire family is the absolute bastard! "Since this official is here, why don't you shut your mouth?!" Zhou Suchen was interrupted before he could finish, "Where did this flying ghost come from?" "Who has the guts to do this?" Who dares to roar in this court? "Who …"

"Open your large eyes and look. I haven't seen you in such a long time, your eyes are actually stitched shut?" Do you know anything other than how to shout at the court? Aren't you worried about others? In the whole lobby, only you, a donkey, has the loudest voice! "

He looked at the man in front of him, who was looking at him with an expression that seemed to have lost his temper and yet deserved to be beaten up. Who else could he be other than a little hoodlum, Qin Xiao? In this world, who could make others hate them so much that they would bleed from their teeth?
