But when he looked around, everyone's expressions were calm, including Mr. Yu who was sitting in the high hall, looking nonchalant.
When he took his hand off his forehead, a big red envelope suddenly appeared there. It looked very ridiculous. Luo Lan couldn't help but laugh a little in his heart. Who told him to ignore what he said? Do you still dare to compare Princess Yu? I really don’t know the heights of the world.
Yu Shiming suddenly patted the gavel and shouted sternly:
"How dare you mention Princess Yu's name? You said that those women voluntarily married into your Li family, so I will ask you carefully."
After saying this, he shouted loudly:
"Certificate of Passing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Chunhua and other seven women came to the front of the hall, and they knelt down directly.
Yu Shiming looked at these women, raised his voice and asked:
"Do you recognize this Li Hongfu in front of you?"
These women looked at him with gritted teeth and nodded one after another.
"I recognize him. Even after peeling off his skin, we also recognize him."
"Yes, he lied to us, saying that we could marry into the Li family and live a good life. He is a big liar."
Several other women wanted to continue talking, but Yu Shiming nodded with a cold face and asked again:
"He said that you married into the Li Mansion voluntarily? Is this true?"
Dani was the first to reply:
"We voluntarily married into the Li Mansion because we wanted to live in the Li Mansion and did not want to be locked up like prisoners. They are simply deceiving people in the name of marrying a wife. Please make the decision for the daughters of the people."
Shui Chunhua also nodded angrily,
"Yes, I originally thought that I could live a good life for a few days by marrying into the Li Mansion. Who would have thought that not only would I not live a good life, but I would also be imprisoned by them for half a year. In the past six months, I have lived like a human being. Humans and ghosts are not like ghosts, huh huh..."
Hearing Shui Chunhua's cry, these women all began to cry. Yu Shiming frowned, patted the gavel and roared:
"Quiet, anyone who dares to make a loud noise will be served by the board."
Hearing his harsh words, these women closed their mouths and did not dare to make any more noise.
Originally, Yu Shiming had already known about this matter from Leng Yu's mouth, so there was no need to examine it carefully, it was just a formality.
So, he slapped the gavel and shouted loudly:
"Li Hongfu, Yuan Gang, and Zhou Dasheng, you three are in a den of snakes and rats, and you are killing good women. What is the difference between your crimes and those of the gangsters on the street? I now sentence you to a hundred years of imprisonment, and remove Zhou Dasheng from his official position. Yuan Gang and Li Hongfu were sent to the frontier together to be slaves for life..."
"etc……"
As soon as Yu Shiming finished speaking, he was interrupted.
Leng Yu and Luo Lan went out looking for fame together, and saw Leng Xi dressed in white and holding a folding fan, approaching.
When he saw him, Yu Shiming frowned in confusion.
"Prince Xi, I am investigating a case. It is really inappropriate for you to come in and stop me."
Leng Xi closed the fan in his hand, cupped his fists and saluted, "Sir Yu, I think it's inappropriate for you to ask the case like this."
Hearing this, Yu Shiming looked at him with confusion.
"Prince Xi, what do you think is wrong?"
Leng Xi twitched the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashed with anger, he raised his head and replied:
"Your Excellency knows the rules of questioning better than anyone else. You can't just rely on a few words from these women to punish these people!"
"What Prince Xi said is wrong. I have always been well-founded when investigating cases. What these three people did has made people and gods angry. Prince Yu, Princess Yu and all the guards in Prince Yu's palace have seen it with their own eyes. Now that the facts have become a foregone conclusion, Why do I need to retry the case?"
Leng Xi looked directly at Leng Yu with cold eyes and said to Shi Ming:
"I feel that this matter was tried too hastily. This matter cannot be made clear by asking in court. The words of these seven women are not necessarily true. No one can guarantee whether they were bewitched or not. Lies, or rather, they didn’t tell the truth.”
The meaning of his words made Luo Lan a little unhappy. She looked at Leng Xi with her beautiful eyes and asked with a serious face:
"What does Prince Xi mean by this? They were imprisoned in the dark room in the backyard of Li Mansion. General Ling and Zhang Yuan saw this with their own eyes. Could there be any lies? Could it be that you are suspecting that Prince Yu and I are bewitching these people?" How many women?”
When facing Luo Lan, a look of unknown meaning flashed in Leng Xi's eyes, and then disappeared.
He looked at Luo Lan with half-squinted eyes and said every word like a needle:
"I don't dare to doubt Prince Yu and Princess Yu. I just raised my doubts about this matter. I hope that you can re-examine the case carefully."
Hearing this, Yu Shiming frowned and asked back:
"Since Prince Xi feels that this matter is inappropriate, I will try it again now."
Leng Xi waved his hand reluctantly, "Sir, I think this case should be adjourned for another trial. You should send someone to visit and interrogate the case."
"Prince Xi, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting me?"
Obviously, Yu Shiming was a little angry. He had been an official for many years, and no one except the emperor dared to overturn the cases he had tried in court.
Leng Xi rarely talked to Lord Yue Zhan, and always kept a respectful distance from him. Because he knew that he had an upright character, even though he married his daughter to him, there were some things that even if he went to him, he would not be accommodating at all.
He hurriedly lowered his voice and bent down and replied:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I just saw an old woman crying in the street with a stupid son, so I went over to inquire. I found out that their man, Li Hongfu, was wronged and was being interrogated in the court. They held evidence but sued. I have no choice but to cry bitterly in the street. I saw how pitiful they were crying, so I came to ask about this matter. Please, Sir, please look into it and give Li Hongfu justice?"
He only mentioned Li Hongfu and did not mention the other two people.
Yu Shiming looked sideways at Leng Yu. Leng Yu was speechless. He didn't know why Leng Xi got involved in this, but he must have his reasons for doing so.
Yu Shiming frowned and said coldly:
"Okay, since Prince Xi has doubts about this, I don't know how to try this case. Shuntian Mansion is busy with official affairs, so I will report this case to the Ministry of Punishment, and ask the Ministry of Punishment to report it to the emperor, and ask the emperor to send someone Let’s go to trial.”
Obviously, Yu Shiming was a little unhappy with Leng Xi's doubts.
Leng Xi cupped his fists nonchalantly and said:
"Why would my father personally intervene in such a small case? How could the Ministry of Punishment take care of it? Mr. Yu, it's better not to bring trouble on yourself. It's better to do this. Tomorrow morning, I will bring the mother and daughter and ask Mr. Yu to try it again. This case.”
Hearing this, Yu Shiming sighed angrily and looked at Leng Yu with a frown.
"Prince Yu, what do you think?"
In this stalemate, Leng Yu felt that there was no need to argue with Leng Xi here.
So, he nodded, "This case has entered the Shuntian Mansion, and Mr. Yu will be the presiding judge. Everything will be handled according to Mr. Yu's wishes."
Hearing this, Yu Shiming struck the tree with lightning speed and shouted loudly,
"This case will be tried again tomorrow and withdraw from court."
