Conspiracy

Chapter 130

Every word of Su Zhen's voice was engraved on Xu Jing's heart.

His eyes widened with anger, he pulled out the knife abruptly, and placed it on the right side of Su Zhen's neck.

"I didn't expect you to be so vicious at such a young age!"

She snorted and chuckled coldly, with contempt and pity in her eyes.

"Whether I'm vicious or not, you old man doesn't care. You'd better explain this crime to Mr. Wu first, and then give an explanation to the emperor and the people. Tsk tsk, so many lives, I'm afraid it will kill you five horses, It's not enough!"

Wu Shilang didn't expect Su Zhen and Su Zhen to come prepared and even find out so many criminal evidences. Their strength is too terrifying.

"Ahem! Captain Xu, how do you explain what is written in these notes?"

Xu Jing had adjusted his mentality, retracted the knife, and calmly looked at Wu Shilang, who was directly above the courtroom, who was smiling awkwardly.

"All the criminal evidence is fabricated out of thin air, and this general will deny it! On the contrary, you should arrest this bastard, Su Zhen!"

"Yo? So stubborn? Captain Captain, you really want to beat him up!"

Su Zhen took a sip of tea from Yu Ziye's unused teacup, and leaned against the edge of the table with her arms folded.

Xu Jing sternly said, "Su Zhen's first crime is to slander and insult the courtiers, without the law. The second crime is to lead the ignorant people and cause panic. The third crime is to fabricate false criminal evidence and directly violate Luo Qi's law! You He should be sentenced to capital punishment, and should be punished with justice!"

Wu Shilang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Master Su, Captain Xu is right, I wonder if you have evidence to prove it?"

"Evidence?" Su Zhen shrugged, picked up a piece of paper from the ground, and scanned the lines at a glance, "It feels true and false, false and true, half and half anyway! Besides, these words are not mine. I wrote it, why do you ask me? Could it be that Xu Duwei thought that I asked Mr. Shi Lang to call you here just to scare you?"

Su Zhen looked calm, but the hearts of the others rose and fell following her words.

"Young Master Su, Captain Xu is a third-rank military general in the imperial court. It is true that you are so slanderous."

"Master Wu, what are you talking about?" Su Zhen blinked and said innocently, "I said it all, these notes were sent by the birds in the sky, so what have I got to do with them? As for whether the charges above are true or not, that's for the emperor to consider." matter. My young master has made it very clear that today I am here for the case of the beauty Yu and the juvenile child."

Wu Shilang was smart all his life, but at this moment his mind is tied up, why is this young master of the Su family so jumpy, he thinks it out.

"Su Zhen, you believe that I killed those children, so tell me, when and where did they die? If you can't tell, this general will let you."

"How? Is the blood splashed in the court? So you are so arrogant, Mr. Captain?"

Looking at Su Zhen's confident appearance, Xu Jing felt uneasy, the deaths of those people really had nothing to do with him, Su Zhen could not find evidence!

As for the note in the sky.
"Mo Sheng!"

Su Zhen yelled outside, and Mo Sheng immediately walked in with an old man.

His gray hair was tied up casually, and a few strands of hair were scattered at the temples.The body is as thin as a stick, with a hunched back and a limp when walking.A gray shirt was washed until it turned white, and many patches were applied, and the cloth shoes on his feet were severely worn.

As soon as the old man stepped into the courtroom, he caught sight of Xu Chong, a burly man next to Xu Jing, and burst into tears, shaking like chaff in anger.

"Yes, yes, yes. It's him! It's him! Beast! Give me back my grandson!"

Seeing that Xu Chong was about to strike out of embarrassment, Mo Sheng put his right thumb against the lower end of the sword hilt, and gently raised it upwards, a silver light flashed, revealing a section of the sword.

Whenever the opponent dared to make a move, he would immediately counterattack.

Xu Jing narrowed his eyes, turned to look at Xu Chong, only to see him hastily lowered his head and took a step back.

Xu Jing immediately realized that Su Zhen was not trying to sue him at all, taking the risk of slandering the courtiers and going around in such a big circle!But to delay time!Give the emperor and the princelings a chance to check the authenticity of the note!

Although his precautionary measures have always been good, but he must not take it lightly, and be taken advantage of by those people!

Turning his head to look at another of his subordinates, the latter immediately quietly left the courtroom to investigate.

Su Zhen stepped forward and said softly, "Old man, don't be afraid, just speak slowly, Master Wu will definitely make the decision for you."

The old man held Su Zhen's wrist tightly, five red fingerprints were obvious, but she didn't seem to feel it.

The embarrassed Wu Shilang coughed dryly from above, slapped the gavel, and asked, "Who is in the hall?"

"My lord, Caomin is Wang He, a hunter in Wanjing Village outside the city. Someone forcibly took away Caomin's newborn grandson and his mother a few days ago. I beg you, my lord, to be the master for the people!"

He raised his whitish sleeves to wipe away his tears, knelt down on the ground and couldn't help sobbing, making people's hearts very sad.

"Do you know who that is?"

Wu Shilang knew that this matter must have nothing to do with the Xu family, but he had to ask.

Whether it's the left minister or the grand tutor, he can't afford to offend him. No matter which side he leans towards, it probably will have an impact on his official career!

"It's him!" The old man pointed at Xu Chong, glaring and frowning, if Mo Sheng hadn't grabbed him, he might have rushed over.

"Old guy, you can think about it, are you sure that person is me?"

Xu Chong had a ferocious expression, he ground his teeth, his voice was cold, and murderous intent emerged faintly.

The old man, who was dazzled by his anger, noticed the officers and soldiers in military uniforms, and suddenly fell silent, a cold air rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"Don't be afraid, old man. This is the court of the Ministry of Punishment, and what we pay attention to is the king's law!" Su Zhen patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and pointed at Yu Ziye who was dressed in red with his other hand, "Look, that is the son of the world, with him here, No one dares to do anything to you!"

"Young son?!" The old man was stunned, then let go of Su Zhen's hand, kowtowed with both hands, "You must be the masters of the grassroots! You must give justice to my grandson and his mother!"

Yu Ziye sighed, "Come here, bring a chair for the old man. Let's talk slowly about the facts."

Wu Shilang hesitated, "My lord, I'm afraid this is against the rules?"

"Huh? Rules?! Wherever this son is, there are rules!"

Looking at his cold eyes, Wu Shilang's Adam's apple rolled up and down, "That's all right, come and give me a seat."

He can't afford to offend any of these people, so how can he be tried? !

When the yamen servant moved a chair, Yu Ziye said, "Old man, just sit down and talk slowly."

"Ah?! Master, is this wrong?"

"It's okay, just tell me what happened that day in detail."

Su Zhen half pushed and half tugged to put him in place. Although she was talking to the old man, she looked at Xu Jing provocatively.

The old man wiped away the tears on his face, his voice choked up, "Three days ago, Caomin's grandson and his mother went to the town to sell animal skins. Who would have thought that they would be spotted by that animal. They followed all the way to our house, swearing at each other, and even My grandson was kidnapped together with his mother. But the grass people are too old to be of any use! Not only can't stop them, but even their legs were broken by those beasts!"

Wu Shilang looked at Xu Chong, "Xu Chong, is what Wang He said true? Where were you three days ago?"

"Master Wu, they are pure slander! I have never been out of the capital these days, so how could I have anything to do with that widow?"

Wu Shilang asked, "How do you know that woman is a widow?"

"Captain Xu has always been concerned about the country and the people. When I heard that my second master was killed last night, he also heard that a famous woman was killed. I found out her identity that night. According to rumors, Widow Xie has misbehaved herself. Husband. Her husband was even more lazy. He knew that he was suffering from a heart disease, but he still used up his family’s wealth just to drink, and finally died suddenly. Wang He sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man, so he regretted his indulgence in the past.”

The old man coughed angrily when he heard the words, pointed at him for a while and was speechless.
