Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 767 The real murderer
Old Uncle Li was invited up, and he shrank and looked at the people present. When he saw Xue Hefeng, he subconsciously stopped and took two steps back in a panic.

Zijin supported the old man, and softly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, old man, we are here, he dare not hurt anyone."

"What's the name of the witness?" Li Zhong patted the gavel.

Old Uncle Li stepped forward and knelt down, bowed his head and answered Li Chong's question.

"Uncle Li, I want to ask you, the place where the crime happened is sparsely populated, why did you appear there that day?"

"My lord, Caomin is delivering food to Fahua Temple. After delivering the food, I will go home from the road behind the mountain."

"I'll ask you again, what did you see?"

"I saw... saw the murder!"

Xue Hefeng's eyes sharpened, "It's a big crime to be so bold as to lie in court!"

Old Uncle Li was already afraid of Xue Hefeng, and when he yelled at him like this, his whole body couldn't help shaking, and he wanted to hide back.

"Lord Xue, when you are not being questioned by the judge, please be quiet, especially don't intimidate witnesses." Li Zhong said with a serious face.

Xue Hefeng squinted his eyes, "Isn't this official still able to raise doubts?"

"Master Xue!" Liu Yunxiang looked at Xue Hefeng and said sharply, "Don't forget, you are a suspect now!"

Xue Hefeng bared his teeth, but didn't speak any more.

"Uncle Li, can you clearly see the victim, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, who killed her?" Li Zhong asked again.

Old Uncle Li shrank back, not daring to answer.

"Don't be afraid, I won't let anyone hurt you."

"I……"

Uncle Li looked at Xue Hefeng again, seeing his grim face, and thinking about the scene that day, he hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't see it, I didn't see anything!"

Uncle Li suddenly changed his words, and Liu Yunxiang frowned.

Hearing this, Mrs. Feng couldn't hold back anymore, and turned around to kowtow to Uncle Li, "Old man, please help me, you know I didn't kill anyone, but I will be beheaded soon. I am not afraid of death, but I still have A six or seven-year-old child, if I die, he will not be able to live."

Xue Hefeng scolded angrily: "Master Li, this is against the rules!"

Li Chong hurriedly asked the officer to stop Feng Shi, and at the same time rubbed his forehead, "Old man, I will ask you again, what did you see?"

The old man still hesitated to say anything, Zijin was a little anxious, "Old man, if you don't bring the bad guys to justice, not only the dead will not look at you, but innocent people will suffer, and you will also be in danger."

Hearing this, Old Uncle Li hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up his courage, and said: "The grass people saw that the girl was stabbed more than ten times by a man, blood spattered everywhere, she should have died on the spot."

Li Chong's eyes widened, "Then the murderer is in the hall?"

Old man Li took a deep breath, raised his head and pointed at Xue Hefeng, "It's him!"

"Troublemaker! How dare you talk nonsense..." Xue Hefeng was about to rush forward, but the officer next to him hurriedly stopped him.

Li Zhong slapped the gavel hard, "The suspect, Xue Hefeng, hasn't knelt down and explained the whole thing!"

"Li Chong, how dare you!"

"Presumptuous! In the courtroom, the suspect still doesn't kneel down!"

Xue Hefeng refused, but was escorted by two officials and knelt down.

That old man Li clearly explained what he saw that day, and matched Feng's confession perfectly.

"Xue Hefeng, what else do you have to say?"

Xue Hefeng gritted his teeth hard, killed Xiao Wu that day, he really didn't see anyone passing by, and he actually saw all this.Now that there are witnesses, it is impossible for him to quibble.

After thinking for a long time, Xue Hefeng raised his head and said, "Xie Wenqing was indeed killed by me."

As soon as these words came out, Li Chong breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously looked at Liu Yunxiang.Liu Yunxiang frowned, he admitted it, but he admitted it too easily, I'm afraid there are other conspiracy.

"But it was Feng Shi and Xie Wenqing who joined forces to kill me that day. I just resisted and killed Xie Wenqing during the resistance." Xue Hefeng sneered, "According to the Law of Great Glory, in order to protect my own If it is safe to resist and kill someone unintentionally, the crime will be lessened or exempted from the crime, is that right?"

Li Chong pursed his lips, "The severity of the crime is not determined by you."

"I just hope Master Li is fairer." Xue Hefeng said with a smile.

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes, Feng and Xiao Wu really invited him there to kill Xue Hefeng, and Xue Hefeng did kill Xiao Wu during the resistance.Based on this conviction, Xue Hefeng's charges would not be too serious, and he wouldn't even need to go to jail, it's just that his official position is not good.

This is obviously not enough!

"No, he pushed Wu girl away, but he stabbed again and again, clearly killing people!" Feng shouted.

"Oh, by the way, this Feng's premeditated murder is not a light crime, right?" Xue Hefeng asked.

Li Zhong looked at Liu Yunxiang, then said with a deep breath: "Put Xue Hefeng and Feng Shi in the cell, and wait for the tribunal to interrogate!"

Xue Hefeng's face was blue, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but the smile was full of sternness. He knew that he had fallen, but luckily the fall was not serious, and he could start all over again.

"Princess, you sent me to the prison, you probably don't know, you offended the entire Duke of Yang!"

Liu Yunxiang shrugged: "My concubine didn't do anything wrong, so I'm not afraid."

After leaving the hall, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to send the old man home safely.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Liu Yunxiang walked to the palace alone.Walking to the street, I bumped into Lu Chang'an unexpectedly, he just came out of Dim Sum Zhai with two boxes of dim sum in his hand.

Looking at the long queue at the back, Lu Changan really worked hard to buy these two boxes of dim sum.Seeing her, Lu Changan walked forward with a smile.

"Yunxiang, what a coincidence."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, and looked down at the snack in Lu Changan's hand, "This is Lu Shizi?"

"Fei'er likes to eat dim sum from this restaurant."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Indeed, this girl is very greedy in the quilt. But these days, why don't you see her?"

In the past, Tuoba Fei'er would come to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion every now and then, but these days, no one was there.

Lu Changan smiled, "She is pregnant now."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened, "When did it happen?"

"She has no appetite for the past few days, and she found out she is pregnant after she consulted a doctor."

"Great, then you have to take good care of her."

"of course."

The two of them talked and walked into the alley, passing through this alley is the Zhenbei Palace.

"Congratulations, Mr. Lu."

"Well, I'm really happy to hear the news."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, exchanged some pleasantries, and then didn't know what to say.A few days ago, he and Marquis Yun impeached Yan Mu and sealed off all the properties under her name, which was no different from stabbing a knife in the back.

Liu Yunxiang can treat him coldly, but he has his stand, she can't ask everyone to turn to her.It's just that if you are a friend like this, without sincerity, no matter how deep your affection is, it will fade away.

"Yunxiang, I'm sorry."

"Don't tell me you're sorry, Lu Shizi, it's just that you have a different stand. You don't owe me anything, and I will take action against you when necessary."
