Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 74 Public Trial 2
There were huge crowds of people in the martial arts arena, all of them were people who came to Shuntian Mansion to handle the case.

There are ordinary people and officials, as well as the sons and ladies of various families, and the whole martial arts arena is crowded.

The Martial arts arena, which can accommodate 10 people, also seems a bit crowded at this time. Once there is any disturbance in such a scene, stampede incidents are most likely to occur.

Before Gao Liao asked for an order, the emperor had already issued an order for Mo Jinli to send people from the patrol battalion and the imperial forest army to maintain order in the martial arts field, and the prince himself would be there to supervise and command.

When Lu Xu came to the outskirts of the Martial Arts Arena, he could see from a distance the shining golden Luanjia of Prince Yi, which was carelessly parked on the side of the podium, as if a bright lamp was placed beside it.

"Miss Lu Xu's carriage..."

In the martial arts arena, someone shouted, and everyone looked at the entrance.

In order to facilitate supervision, the prince ordered people to close the entrances and exits on both sides of the martial arts field, leaving only the entrance and exit directly in front available.

At this time, I saw a familiar carriage, and the one in front of the trial seat was slowly driving in. There was a burst of excitement in the crowd, and the officials shouted loudly to cheer for Lu Xu.

"Miss Lu Xu, you have a clear mind and a high self-esteem, so you don't need to care about the words of a mediocre woman."

"Miss Lu Xu, the clearer is clearer, the mountains and rivers can be moved, and the mind can't be moved."

"Stones look at texture, mountains look at veins, people look at aspirations and trees look at materials, we believe in your quality."

"..."

Hearing the shouts of the officials, the women dared not to be outdone.

Liu Zhaoran took the lead and yelled loudly: "Lu Xu pushed Miss Liang off the bridge, killing people for life, and must be severely punished."

With such vigor, it seemed that she wasn't the one who pushed the beam off the bridge that day. People who knew it cast contemptuous glances, and only those who didn't know followed suit.

"Too shameless."

Liang Xi couldn't help but want to draw his sword.

Qingniao held her down and said: "If you can't bear it, you will make trouble, don't worry."

After the carriage was parked, Lu Xu helped Suzaku get off the carriage, and smiled at Liu Zhaoran: "Miss Liu San came so early, she must have gotten up to put on makeup before dawn."

"Oh, by the way, it might rain today, have you brought an umbrella?" Lu Xu kindly reminded: "If the rain washes away the makeup on your face, wouldn't it be for everyone to see your true face? How many people do you have to kill to silence them?"

"You should take care of yourself." Liu Zhaoran said, "If a sick child gets caught in the rain, he might die of illness before being convicted."

"If I hadn't been in poor health, I would have put you in the basin long ago and washed your face clean." Lu Xu said coldly, "You have the nerve to put on fairy makeup with your face."

"Besides making fun of me for being ugly, do you have any other tricks?"

"Yes." Lu Xu said unhurriedly: "You don't abide by female virtues, and you still miss Mr. Fan after getting married."

"You cheated in exams and bullied your classmates when you were listening to lectures in Xuan Yuan."

"You bully others. You beat or scold the ladies of officials with lower official positions, especially those who are prettier than you."

"And..." Lu Xu continued to scold, "On weekdays you hang the lanterns of Lu Mansion on your carriage, and it is all because of me that you hit someone on the street and turned over the stall."

Lu Xu pointed to his own carriageway: "Look carefully, everyone, the wheels of our Lu Mansion's carriages are specially made, while other carriages use wooden wheels, and the Lu Mansion's carriages use this special material wheels, don't look at the wheels in the future. lantern."

"Nonsense." Liu Zhaoran stopped Lu Xu loudly, "Don't divert your attention. Killing people pays for their lives, it's only right and proper."

"Say I killed someone." Lu Xu smiled sarcastically and said, "Who do I kill?"

"You killed Ms. Liang Xiliang from Captain Liang's mansion."

Liu Zhaoran's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, as if it was really Lu Xu who pushed people off the bridge that day.

Lu Xu said coldly: "Is there a corpse? Is there a plaintiff?"

"It's spreading all over the capital..."

"It's all your people who are passing it on, the thief is calling catch the thief."

As soon as Liu Zhaoran opened his mouth, Lu Xu gagged: "If Miss Liang was really killed by me, why didn't Captain Liang sue and let the Shuntian Mansion take me? If Miss Liang died, why didn't the Liang Mansion organize a funeral for her? "

"No body found?" Gao Liao interjected.

"If you don't find the body, you dare to yell that I killed Liang Xi."

"and also……"

Lu Xu paused and said, "Master Gao, I heard that you rushed to the scene that day, but did you see me push Miss Liang off the bridge with your own eyes?"

"I didn't see you, or even saw you at the scene." Gao Liao said unhurriedly: "There were many people present at the time, and only Ms. Liu San testified that it was you who pushed Ms. Liang to push the bridge, patrol camp and Shuntian Mansion. People, after a whole day and a night of salvage, Miss Liang was not found."

"In addition, you and Ms. Liu San have always had a bad relationship. This officer thinks that Ms. Liu San deliberately framed you, so I didn't file a case for investigation."

"How dare you say that you were not in Nancheng at that time." Liu Zhaoran immediately said, "The sky lanterns were flying all over the sky, but Mr. Fan set them up for you alone. You have nothing to argue about."

"Miss Liu San, so what if I'm in Nancheng?" Lu Xu asked unhurriedly: "I made an appointment with Mr. Fan to light the lantern, and then I pushed Miss Liang off the bridge in front of you and Mr. Fan. Killing people in front of your face... what kind of logic is this?"

"You have always been eccentric. Who knows why you killed someone? Maybe it was because you were jealous of her beauty."

No matter how arrogant Liu Zhaoran was, she was still a girl in a boudoir. She didn't know the laws of Nanli Kingdom. She didn't know that there was no body and no original owner to file a case. She was worried that the people present would be persuaded by Lu Xu's words, so she made up a random excuse in a hurry.

"I'm jealous that Ms. Liang is prettier than me. You're talking about yourself."

As soon as Lu Xu heard it, he knew that Liu Zhaoran was in a hurry, so he suppressed a smile and said, "It's not that I, Lu Xu, are boasting, Nanliguo can find someone prettier than me, that's rare."

"Miss Liang is dead. This is the fact that you cannot escape."

Liu Zhaoran didn't care about it, and insisted on putting the blame on Lu Xu's head, even if she couldn't be convicted, her reputation would be ruined.

Seeing her jumping over the wall in a hurry, Lu Xu laughed dumbfoundedly: "Usually in such a situation where there is nothing, only the murderer can be sure that Miss Liang is dead."

"Liu Zhaoran..." Lu Xu looked at Liu Zhaoran pretending to be suspicious and said, "You will not lock Miss Liang somewhere in order to frame me, or simply kill Miss Liang, so that you can frame me."

"Lu Xu, don't spit blood on people." Liu Zhaoran said loudly, "Today is your trial, not me."

"Trial."

Lu Xu walked up to Gao Liao as if nothing had happened.

Liang Xi wanted to follow, but Suzaku grabbed her and said, "Don't show up yet."

"Lord Gao, the defendant has arrived, where is the plaintiff?" Lu Xu asked standing in front of Gao Liao.

"There is no plaintiff." Gao Liao sighed, "But Lieutenant Liang sent me a letter, and there was only one sentence in the letter: Miss Lu Xu would not push a little girl off the bridge."

"Lieutenant Liang trusts me, Lu Xu..." After reading it, Lu Xu returned the letter to Gao Liao, turned around and looked at the people below, and said, "Lu Xu can't live up to his trust. Who pushed Miss Liang off the bridge? We might as well ask her to come up and say it herself."
