Chapter 87 The Truth Comes Out
Xiao Xizi bit her lip, thought for a while, and replied: "We met on the street, and some minor incidents happened at that time, so I wanted to teach him a lesson. As for the witnesses, the streets were full of strangers at that time." People, I don’t know if they count as witnesses.”

"Since that's the case, if you say when, when, and where this matter happened, I will investigate the witnesses." Mr. Ji said in a deep voice.

Xiao Xizi panicked, and her eyes flickered: "How long has it been, who remembers it clearly, besides, is there any need to check this now?"

"If you can't prove that you have a problem with Dashu, then there is someone else who has a problem with Dashu." Mr. Ji's eyes were sharp, as if he could see through his lies.

Tang Xueyao's eyes lit up, and she looked at Master Ji appreciatively.

Ning Liang's face darkened, and he looked at Mr. Ji with dark eyes, with warning mixed in his eyes.

Mr. Ji didn't care about the gazes from the two of them, he fixed his sharp eyes on Xiao Xizi, as if he wanted to see through all his thoughts.

Xiao Xizi felt guilty after being watched by him, and quickly said: "Then I just can't remember clearly, and there is nothing I can do if you don't believe me."

Xiao Xizi started to play rascal, Master Ji turned to look at Xiao Lin, his eyes were still sharp: "Tell me, what did he tell you? Seriously!"

Xiao Lin was trembling with fear from Master Ji, and tremblingly said: "My lord, a few days ago, Xiao Xizi found me and told me to give me 100 taels, and asked me to help him kill someone. I was also obsessed with ghosts at the time..."

Mr. Ji interrupted him: "Don't talk about anything else, you just need to explain clearly about the fact that he bribed you."

Seeing that it was useless to sell misery, Xiao Lin had no choice but to continue to explain: "Xiao Xizi gave me the poison, and he also said that the big tree was about to die, so I helped him out to help others."

Tang Xueyao laughed angrily at these words: "It's good to help others, how about I help you go to hell?"

"The yamen guard found ten taels of silver from you, and that ten taels was money that Xiao Xizi used to bribe you to kill people?" Mr. Ji asked.

Xiao Lin nodded his head, and hurriedly said: "Yes, he gave it to me. Xiao Xizi asked me to do this. It has nothing to do with me. Please forgive me."

"My lord, Dashu didn't die after all, and I don't count as murder, please forgive me." Xiao Xizi begged.

"Shut up! No loud noises are allowed in the courtroom!" Lord Ji slapped the gavel heavily, staring at Xiao Lin sharply: "Princess Ning said that Xiao Xizi was ordered by the prince to bribe you to murder Dashu's life. Is it true or not?"

When Xiao Lin heard this, he blinked his eyes. He faintly felt a murderous aura coming from the side, which belonged to the prince.

Ning Liang stared at him viciously, his eyes were full of threats and killing intent, if Xiao Lin dared to identify him, he would let him die.

Xiao Lin glanced at him, saw those murderous eyes, and was afraid in his heart, not daring to identify him.

Seeing that he was silent, Mr. Ji patted the gavel again: "What did I ask you? Why didn't you answer?"

Xiao Lin thought to himself that even if Mr. Ji did not condemn him to death, if he confessed that he was instigated by the prince, the prince would definitely kill him.

After thinking about it, Xiao Lin replied: "Xiao Xizi instigated this matter, I don't know if it has anything to do with the Crown Prince."

Tang Xueyao clenched her fists, damn it, this guy is too afraid of death, if he doesn't identify him, the dog prince will escape.

Mr. Ji was a little helpless, and looked at Xiao Xizi again: "Xiao Xizi, can you admit that this matter was done by you alone and has nothing to do with the Crown Prince?"

Xiao Xizi had the same thought as Xiao Lin, bowed his head and admitted: "The poisoning was done by me alone, it has nothing to do with the prince."

"My lord!" Tang Xueyao said hastily.

Master Ji slapped the gavel heavily and interrupted her: "Xiao Xizi and Xiao Lin, you two colluded to murder Dashu and almost killed him. According to the criminal law of this country, you are all detained and awaiting punishment."

Tang Xueyao looked at Xiao Xizi and the two unwillingly: "You think you'll be fine if you don't tell the truth? Only dead people keep their mouths shut. Be careful if someone kills you!"

The faces of the two changed drastically, Xiao Xizi hurriedly looked at Ning Liang, pleading with all eyes: "My lord, please help me, please help me!"

Ning Liang frowned, Tang Xueyao's words had divided Xiao Xizi's heart, if he didn't rescue Xiao Xizi at this moment, Xiao Xizi would most likely betray him and confess him.

"Master Ji, this little Xizi is my personal servant. The prince is used to it. Since that person is not dead, it is better to make this matter a big deal and a trivial matter. You also let him go with the prince. The prince will take good care of him when he goes back, so that he won't dare to commit another crime." Ning Liang looked at Master Ji.

Seeing that Ning Liang pleaded for him, Xiao Xizi was relieved.

Not being able to separate the two, Tang Xueyao clenched her fists angrily. She looked at Mr. Ji, but she wanted to see Mr. Ji's answer.

Mr. Ji looked at Ning Liang neither humble nor overbearing: "His Royal Highness, Xiao Xizi is a guilty person. Please forgive me for not handing him over to you. Anyone who commits a crime must be dealt with by our Ministry of Punishment. The death penalty is not allowed. Prince As the crown prince of our country, I think he would not do anything out of bounds."

Ning Liang's face turned gloomy in an instant. Not only did Master Ji not give him face, but he even dared to mock him connotatively, which is simply hateful.

Seeing that the prince's words were useless, Xiao Xizi became impatient: "Prince..."

Ning Liang frowned, glared at him impatiently, and shook his head lightly, telling him not to worry, he would find a way.

Xiao Xizi shut up obediently, not daring to say more.

"What Mr. Ji said is that I was confused, so I ask Mr. Ji to handle it impartially." Ning Liang replied with a smile.

Xiao Xizi immediately slumped on the ground like a deflated ball, at this moment he didn't dare to turn his back completely, after all Ning Liang was his last hope.

"The case is closed. Come here. Put the two of you in the cell and leave the court." Mr. Ji slapped the gavel, and the case ended.

The yamen servants under the hall escorted the two of them and took them down.

Ning Liang got up, Tang Xueyao also got up, their eyes met again, Ning Liang gritted his teeth angrily, this woman really made him love and hate at the same time.

Tang Xueyao didn't bother to pay attention to him, looked respectfully at Mr. Ji and said, "I've heard that Mr. Ji is fair and upright. I saw him today. It's really the case. Ningguo has such a good official. It's really a blessing for the people."

"My concubine is absurd. I don't do as much as my concubine for the people. Your Baicaotang saved many people and brought back the poisoned tree. You are the blessing of the people." Lord Ji praised sincerely. .

Tang Xueyao smiled lightly: "No matter how good my medical skills are, there are only a limited number of people I can cure. It is Mr. Ji who is not afraid of power and rectifies the atmosphere of Ningguo. You are the one who truly benefits the people."

Ning Liang on the side couldn't stand Tang Xueyao praising another man in front of him, so he couldn't help interrupting their business mutual admiration.

"Hmph, Concubine Ning's medical skills are so powerful that she can even save the dead. I wonder if my sixth brother's leg can also be healed?" Ning Liang tentatively asked.

Tang Xueyao's smile disappeared instantly, and she looked at Ning Liang coldly, with provocation and warning in her eyes.

"Prince, don't worry, no matter how hard it is, as the wife of King Ning, I will spare no effort to cure him, and I will punish those who harmed him one by one!" Tang Xueyao paused, followed by the next sentence Words almost came out of his mouth.

Ning Liang took a deep breath and left without saying a word.

Seeing him leaving, Tang Xueyao was about to leave, but was stopped by Master Ji.

"Princess stay here, can you really cure Prince Ning?" Lord Ji had a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Tang Xueyao hesitated for a moment, and replied: "My lord's health is too bad. Even if I have excellent medical skills, it will not be so easy to cure him."

Although she believed in Master Ji's character, it was about Ning Han's safety, so she dared not trust others.

Lord Ji's eyes dimmed, and he sighed: "Oh, what a pity, King Ning is such an excellent person, but now..."

Tang Xueyao was silent, listening quietly, still did not say anything about Ning Han's current situation.

Master Ji finished feeling, and asked again: "Then King Ning, is he okay now?"

Tang Xueyao saw the sincerity in his eyes. There are not many people who care about Ning Han now. Mr. Ji is fair and he is a trustworthy person. When Ning Han recovers, he will need more people's support.

After thinking about it, she replied, "My lord is fine, don't worry, my lord."

It is enough to give him this hope, and there is no need to say more details.

Master Ji nodded: "That's good, that's good."

Tang Xueyao nodded, showing concern in her eyes: "Thank you for caring about your lord, your lord offended the prince in today's case, please take care of your health."

"I understand, Princess Xie misses you." Mr. Ji replied.

Tang Xueyao said no more, and bowed to leave.

When she left the yamen, she saw that Ning Liang hadn't left yet, she frowned immediately.

With a frivolous smile, Ning Liang stepped forward and said, "Doctor Tang, you have talked a lot today, you must be a little thirsty, why don't you go have a cup of tea with me?"

"Thank you for the kindness of the prince. There are still many patients waiting in my Baicaotang. I don't have time to drink tea with the prince. Let me take my leave." Tang Xueyao was about to leave after speaking.

Ning Liang stopped her, and seeing this, Amei and Alan hurriedly stood between Ning Liang and Tang Xueyao to prevent Ning Liang from harming the princess.

"You dare to stop this prince? Get out of the way!" Ning Liang said displeased.

Amei and Alan didn't move at all, they stood between them and refused to let go.

Tang Xueyao said coldly: "Prince, please go back, this is on the street, if there is a disturbance, it will be ugly."

Ning Liang was so angry that he glanced at the passers-by on the street, stopped talking, and boarded the carriage back to the palace.

Tang Xueyao also gave him a disgusted glance: "Amei Alan, let's go home."

She took the two of them into the carriage, and the carriage drove away.
