Chapter 1,406
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lin immediately looked at each other. What they said was for fear of causing chaos in the world and inflaming the emotions of all the women. How dare they say it again in front of Xiao Lintian.
"explain!"
Xiao Lintian shouted angrily and majestically: "If you don't say anything, you are resisting the decree!"
Plop...plop...
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lin were so frightened that they knelt down.
"My wife dare not resist the order, my wife said..."
Mrs. Wang bravely said what she said.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lin had no choice but to repeat what she said.
"Hmph, what did I just say? You two repeat it again!"
Xiao Lintian was deliberately trying to capture these talkative women today. Do they really think that their words have no weight as before when they were King Yi?
Mrs. Wang was about to cry. Why was she so talkative? She regretted it.
Xiao Lintian said before, "Before the case is heard clearly, anyone who dares to slander others will be punished as defamation!"
Now that the case is still unclear, she points the finger at the Crown Princess and General Pei. Doesn't that mean that these two people jointly killed the Sixth Princess?
Mrs. Lin almost collapsed to the ground. She repeated Xiao Lintian's words in a trembling voice, and then explained tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, I am not slandering the Crown Princess and General Pei, I am..."
"Shut up. Isn't this slander?"
Xiao Lintian angrily scolded: "Prince Cheng has not yet tried the case, but you two have decided the case. What? Prince Cheng is not as good at trying the case as you two, or do you two have the foresight to catch the murderer without a trial?" "
"Xiang Zhao, my lords, did I make a mistake?"
When Zhao Hui was called, he had no choice but to stand up and said righteously: "Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lin, your words and deeds are indeed casual slander!"
"Prince Cheng is reviewing a case and is not allowed to doubt the Crown Princess or the court official before the facts are clear!"
Xiao Lintian just wanted to use Zhao Hui's words to suppress these women.
Zhao Hui is the boss of Mr. Wang and Mr. Lin. As a prime minister who knows the law, Zhao Hui is incompetent if he says something wrong.
He was right, how dare Mr. Wang and Mr. Lin say that he was wrong?
After Zhao Hui finished speaking, Xiao Lintian sneered and said: "Let this be a note to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lin first. After the case is heard, if it is proven that what they said is false, they will be punished together!"
Xiao Lintian didn't say anything, so the two ladies had no choice but to continue kneeling. Other women who wanted to slander Ling Yu and Pei Yu were frightened into silence by Xiao Lintian's move and did not dare to speak at will.
Even if Master Wang and Master Lin wanted to plead for their wives, they did not dare to step forward.
"I will continue to investigate the case!"
Prince Cheng shouted impatiently: "Whoever dares to interrupt this king's trial will be slapped first!"
"Pass Liu Zhen!"
Liu Zhen was brought up by the imperial guards.
"Liu Zhen, tell me what you know!"
Prince Cheng shouted.
Liu Zhen was as guilty as Fang'er. She had clearly smitten Ling Yu and sent Ling Yu into Pei Yu's room while still guarding the door.
But how could Ling Yu disappear?
How was Pei Yu assassinated?
She was confused, so she could only follow what she said before: "As the prince said on his way back, the slave was brought by the princess. I saw General Pei already waiting inside."
"The Crown Princess ordered the slaves to guard the door and not allow anyone to disturb her, so she went in!"
"I don't know the rest!"
Prince Cheng looked at her and said in a deep voice: "The Crown Princess came forward to ask questions!"
Ling Yu took a few steps forward and stood in front of Prince Cheng.
"Princess, is Liu Zhen telling the truth?"
Prince Cheng asked.
Ling Yu smiled coldly, looked at Liu Zhen and said: "Prince Cheng, Liu Zhen is lying. I have been busy with the banquet and have no time to make an appointment with General Pei!"
"Before, Liu Zhen came to talk to me about something. I saw that the banquet was almost ready, so I asked her to invite the Sixth Princess over for dinner. Who would have thought that she would disappear as soon as she left!"
"Miss An and several other ladies know this! They can testify for me!"
