When Shen Rou heard the verdict from Magistrate Shi, Shen Rou's face instantly turned pale, her legs went weak, and she fell to the ground unable to get up. Chen Jue held up his hands and wanted to step forward to argue, but saw the prefect Shi wave his hand, and the government servants on the side tried to push him away.
Gu Lun clenched his fist and stood in front of Shen Rou, but Wang Captou smiled slightly: "Why, if you want to do something with the official, you have to think about the consequences."
"Wait a minute." A figure stood in front of Gu Lun. Gu Li looked at Wang Captou in front of him coldly. This look was as sharp as a fox's. Wang Captou actually shuddered and unconsciously let go. Open the body.
Gu Li turned around and saluted the prefect Shi, and said: "The prefect does not care about the people or justice. As a distant relative of Princess Qingyang, naturally he is not afraid that your actions will be heard by heaven. Therefore, you, the prefect, His position is so stable. But you know, Princess Qingyang is not the most powerful person in the capital. If the prefect violates my laws, I don’t know if Princess Qingyang will protect you."
Shi Zhifu, who was about to walk out of the courtroom, stopped when he heard the words "Princess Qingyang". He stretched out his hand like a pig's trotter and made a simple gesture. The people who had served him for many years naturally knew what he meant and pushed. He returned to court again.
A hint of ridicule appeared on his plump face: "There are many people in this Sifang City who know my origins, but you are the only one who dares to make a fuss about it."
Looking at the outstretched fingers, Gu Li didn't take it seriously. He just hugged his hands lazily and said with a smile: "The prefect has a lot of background, but when Song De came to see you, did he tell you about Miss Shen in front of you? His background is not small, and the person who was threatened by your king's arrest is even more powerful. If you just cover up things like this without investigating clearly, I'm afraid you won't last long."
"Haha. The little girl's tone is not small. It's you who have the final say whether I will last forever. I'm curious, what kind of trouble can your Gu family make now? It's just a piece of stinky shit that can't promote my Sifang City. The tea business will still attract people at that time."
After saying that, Zhifu Shi glanced at Gu Yuan and Gu Li, and then glanced sideways at Chen Jue. He really didn't see what else the Gu family could do to make a fortune.
"What the prefect said is absolutely right. There is nothing that the small Gu family can't do. Don't bluff here. Besides, the emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty. How could the prefect be fooled by a child like you?" Are you scared?" Song De, who was on the side, saw that Magistrate Shi seemed to be making a move, so he quickly said first.
"That's right. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Daqian Country is a place where laws are enforced. So, as the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, she was convicted without any verification of personal or material evidence. I would like to ask Come on, does this comply with the laws of the Daqian Kingdom?"
Gu Li suddenly let out a soft drink, which shocked everyone present. The prefect tried hard to raise his thick eyelids. God knows how long it had been since he had raised his eyelids, but the corners of his eyelids were still stuck together. The yamen servant who was serving him at the side He hurriedly went to break her off, but he pushed the yamen officer away. His voice was high and thin, and it sounded like a scream: "What did you say? The legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion?"
"Sir, General Shen is a second-grade official who is responsible for the law. If the family members of a second-grade official commit a crime, as long as no one is killed, they will have to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for review and conviction before they can be imprisoned. There is not even a confession now. When the time comes, the higher-ups will If you ask, what should you do? Song De has ulterior motives, you have to see clearly."
Gu Li didn't panic and raised her hands to the prefect. The girl's expression was serious and dignified. Compared with Shen Rou who fell to the ground, she looked more like a lady.
Hearing that she was treated like this due to her status, Shen Rou suddenly became excited. She stood up from the ground. The excessive fright made her spirit a little excited. She stood up extremely arrogantly, pointed at the prefect's nose and said loudly: "Yes, my father is a second-grade general. You can't imprison me."
"Although it cannot be imprisoned, execution is still possible." Gu Li suddenly whispered, and her voice reached Shen Rou's ears, successfully making her shrink like a quail, and she no longer dared to be arrogant.
Magistrate Shi rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and had no choice but to reach out and pat the gavel tree: "Okay, let's continue the trial of the case and present the witnesses and evidence."
After seeing Gu Li for just a few words, he asked Magistrate Shi to re-examine the case. Song De looked a little ugly. Just yesterday, the man surnamed Shi had received a thousand taels of silver from him. Now, with just a few words of instigation and threats, Song De asked him to His thousand taels of silver were wasted.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Gu Li hatefully, but he saw that the girl was unrivaled in beauty, especially her frighteningly bright eyes. She turned her head and glanced at him as if she was aware of it. Song De felt a shiver in his heart, being looked at by her. At this glance, it seemed that all the thoughts in his heart were revealed.
Song De looked away calmly. His arrangement was far more than that. What the girl from the Gu family just said didn't involve human lives. Humph, he had spent so much time on it. If it didn't involve human lives, how could Chen Ji let him know? Has the tea shop completely disappeared from Sifang City?
Thinking of this, Song De glanced at the servant following him. The man nodded slightly, then quietly took two steps back, turned around and ran away.
Gu Yuan turned his head and frowned slightly. Why was the man who was following Song De just now missing?
Although he knew there must be something fishy, he couldn't care less at this time. Gu Yuan turned to look at Zhao Fu. Zhao Fu was telling with a horrified look how he was instructed by Shen Rou to put poisonous tea into Liu Ji Tea Shop. .
"Miss Shen said that as long as he achieves good results, he can give me a large sum of money so that he can fly far away. She also told me that she is the legitimate daughter of General Shen and has great power. She will be responsible for anything that happens. "There was a hint of panic in Zhao Fu's voice, as if he was telling the truth out of fear.
But Shen Rou beside her was so angry that she was shaking all over, and shouted: "You are talking nonsense, I have never said these things, why are you lying!"
Gu Li's eyes were mocking for a moment. Shen Rou had indeed been protected since she was a child. She had never seen the dangers of the world, but she was so upset after being fabricated and framed.
You must know that the original Gu Li, who grew up in the General's Mansion, was framed by the aunt in the manor when he was six years old and pushed his concubine into a pond, causing his concubine to suffer from cold.
Of course, her concubine did not grow up in the end, because after the original owner was punished by his father, he designed and strangled his concubine to death by hanging him on a tree in the concubine's yard.
She kept the matter secret. After General Shen conducted a thorough investigation, all the witnesses and physical evidence pointed to the concubine. As a result, three days later, the concubine's body was also hung on the tree...
