At this time, everyone looked at the gavel in Nangong Yuanyi's hand, feeling that the sound could break their eardrums.
Mrs. Huo was no longer calm, "Obviously it was Princess Nan who whipped my daughter, but why did it turn out to be my daughter riding a horse and hurting someone?"
She said urgently: "My daughter did not let the horse hurt anyone."
"Huo Weixi, steward Qian, why don't you say anything?"
Qian Fulai secretly shook his head. It was obvious that the eldest lady was here to help. Miss Wei was her heartthrob and could not bear any grievance.
"Huo Weixi, I knew you didn't really want to save my daughter."
At this time, Mrs. Huo was the only voice in the entire court.
Normally, people like Madam Huo who disturbed the court would have been dragged down to deal with it, but Nangong Yuanyi had a good temper and allowed her to continue to make trouble.
Although Huo Weixi had helplessness written all over his face, he still accommodated his nominal "mother".
"Make the prince laugh." Huo Weixi bowed to Nangong Yuanyi, and then said to Mrs. Huo: "Mother, please go back first. If you make a big fuss in court, your sister Wei will be punished."
Suddenly, Madam Huo slapped Huo Weixi again, but Huo Weixi avoided her, "Mother, this is the court."
"Eat everything inside and out." Mrs. Huo did not hide her disgust towards Huo Weixi at all.
Huo Weixi knew that Mrs. Huo would get angry no matter what he said at this time.
The people present were stunned when they saw this scene, and started talking again: "Mrs. Huo couldn't give birth to a son, so she adopted a child from the Huo family and adopted her into the name of Mr. Huo. Her biological daughter behaved misbehaving, and she adopted a pair of The children are talented men and women from Yuzhou. I didn’t expect Mrs. Huo to be such a person, and she abused them a lot in private..."
"It didn't come out of her belly. Of course she doesn't feel bad. There are so many daughters in the Huo family, and they are all given away like cabbage."
At this time, Qian Fulai quietly looked at the prince again and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear: "I hope the prince will come forward to intercede for my young lady." He didn't know how things developed like this.
The prince suddenly said to Prince Nan: "Since the case of the princess whipping Miss Huo is completely false, let's continue the trial of Huo Siwei and others' case of horse wounding."
Then the prince glanced at Qian Fulai again and said softly: "Steward Qian, you have seen the current situation. All the evidence points to your young lady. When you called me here, you did not say that she beat Nan in the street. Princess, after all, the princess is also a royal relative and has a noble status. How can she hit the princess? Now I can’t help you. Alas! Why don’t you advise your eldest lady and ask her to pay more to the mistress, and I will find a way to deal with it. Once this matter is settled and the people don't make trouble, it will be easier for the government to handle it."
Qian Fulai always felt that something was not right, why did the eldest lady come to make a fuss.
However, time waited for no one at this time, and he was not allowed to think too much. He immediately nodded and walked towards Madam Huo. I wonder what he said in Madam Huo's ear?
Mrs. Huo's face turned even colder, and she glanced at the prince quietly again. Since the prince promised, she did not continue to make trouble.
Nangong Yuanyi pretended not to see the Huo family interacting with Nangong Rui, and didn't know what reason the Huo family had to hold the prince.
At this time, Nangong Yuanyi's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "According to the laws of the Northern Dynasties, anyone who hurts someone by riding a horse or a horse in a street or shop without any reason will be punished with a hundred sticks and compensation for the corresponding damage; if the injury results in death, Those who are found guilty will be punished with a penalty of one hundred rods, a fine of two taels of silver, and will be exiled for three thousand miles and will never be able to return to their hometown. If the circumstances are more serious, they may be sentenced to death."
"You rode your horses through the city gates, even raced horses maliciously, whipped the people, trampled on others, and didn't actively cooperate with the government afterwards... This crime is no longer light." Nangong Yuanyi added coldly.
