After Bai Yueguang was reborn, the regent became black

Chapter 122
Time passed by little by little, and the crowd began to whisper and discuss in low voices.

One of them, a man in coarse linen, looked out of place among the crowd.

His arms were tense, his hands were clenched into fists, and his head was slightly bowed.

The brows were tightly frowned on the delicate face, the corners of the mouth were slightly pursed, and it seemed that he was caught in a great struggle in his heart.

After a while, he slowly loosened his clenched hands and his gaze was firm.

Looking at Li's father and son who were kneeling on the ground, their eyes were scarlet.

"Master Li is wrong, the regent heard it right."

As soon as the man's words came out, the people who were whispering just now fell silent instantly.

Li Wenzhong's face became extremely ugly upon hearing this.

Li Cheng looked back at the man silently, with a look of panic on his face.

The corners of Gu Yunxi's lips hooked slightly, and she put down the teacup in her hand.

He asked, "What's your name?"

"My humble Ji Fan." Ji Fan saluted.

"Ji Fan, can you hear me clearly?" Gu Yunxi said, "Master Li must not be wronged."

"The grass people heard it clearly."

Ji Fan said: "Young Master Li said that the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here, and he must follow the rules of his Li family."

"Master Li also said that arresting people does not require a warrant, even if they are killed in public, no one dares to speak up."

Ji Fan stood in front of the crowd, neither humble nor overbearing.

Simply repeat what the two said.

"Master Li, do you still have something to defend?" Gu Yunxi asked coldly.

"Chenchen. I beg the regent to spare his life!"

Li Wenzhong said: "My son is ignorant and incompetent, and he speaks freely. Please ask the regent to make amends."

"I also ask the regent to forgive my life for the sake of my son's eagerness to mess with the etiquette."

Li Wenzhong crawled forward, grabbed the corner of Gu Yunxi's clothes and said.

In fact, he had already pondered over and over in his heart. Today, the words of his father and son have been heard by many people.

If you insist on denying it, there is no guarantee that it will not arouse public outrage, and you will be convicted of the crime instead.

This Ji Fan is a good example. If the first person comes out to identify him, there will be a second person.

It is too risky to do so.

Now he can only think of a way to minimize the crime and save the lives of the whole family.

Where there is life, there is hope.

As long as the prime minister stands firm in the court, he still has a chance to stand up.

"I see."

Gu Yunxi said: "It seems that Mr. Li and Mr. Li are justifiable."

Open mouth, Aiko eager!
Gu Yunxi sneered in her heart, she knew what Li Wenzhong was thinking.

So of course it won't do what he wants.

"The Regent is magnanimous, and I thank the Regent for his forgiveness."

Hearing this, Li Wenzhong hurriedly opened his mouth.

As if afraid that Gu Yunxi would go back on his word.

Gu Yunxi chuckled, did not speak, but looked at Ji Fan.

In fact, she noticed the existence of this person from the very beginning.

This Ji Fan looks like a scholar, with filial piety on his body.

It's really strange to appear in the Spring Lane Courtyard.

Especially the hatred in his eyes when he looked at Li Cheng from time to time.

"Cao Min thinks what Master Li said is false." Ji Fan who was standing in front of the people said again.

"Do you know what crime it is to frame a court official?"

Gu Yunxi asked in a cold voice while pouring herself a cup of tea.

"Slandering the officials of the current dynasty is a serious crime requiring beheading!"

Li Wenzhong hurriedly added sharply, with a hint of intimidation in his tone.

"The grassroots are familiar with the law, so they naturally know it." Ji Fan replied calmly.

Then lightly lifted up his shirt and knelt down on the ground:
"The grassroots have a grievance, please let the regent decide!"

Ji Fan's actions were sudden, and the onlookers were amazed, and started talking again.

"How is this going?"

"Didn't you interrogate Mr. Li? Why did Mr. Ji sue?"

"Do you think the Prince Regent is aware of the details?"

"If you have grievances, you should go to Kaifeng Mansion to beat the grievance drum." Gu Yunxi said lightly, "This king's place is not a yamen."

"Caomin is also desperate, so he made such a bad plan and begged the regent to make decisions for Caoming!"

Ji Fan's forehead hit the bluestone floor tiles hard, and after just a few strokes, it turned purple.

"Caomin went to Kaifeng Mansion to redress their grievances again and again, but they were kicked out again and again. There is really no place to redress their grievances!"

Gu Yunxi's fingertips drew circles back and forth on the cup wall, but did not speak.

Everyone present didn't know what he meant, and their hearts were tightly hanging.

After a long while, Gu Yunxi opened his mouth and asked:
"What are you going to do? Who are you going to sue?"

"The grassroots want to sue Mr. Li for robbing the daughters of the people and killing my mother. Mr. Li is helping the evildoers and protecting his parents and children."

Ji Fan's voice was firm and powerful, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

"Nonsense!" Li Wenzhong retorted immediately.

Then she looked at Gu Yunxi, hugged her leg and began to cry:
"My lord, don't believe what he says, he is going to throw stones at me!"

Gu Yunxi frowned in disgust, and Chongyun immediately stepped forward to tear Li Wenzhong away.

Li Wenzhong touched his tears and said, "My lord, you must trust me."

"Master Li is a man, I naturally believe it, it's just"

"It's just that you still have to ask clearly. Only by asking clearly can you return Master Li's innocence."

"Isn't it?" Gu Yunxi looked at Li Wenzhong and asked.

When Li Wenzhong heard the first half of the sentence, he just let go of his heart, and then raised it again in an instant.

"My lord's time is precious, such a trivial matter, I don't need my lord to come and try it in person."

"It's about Mr. Li and Kaifeng Mansion, how can it be a trivial matter."

Gu Yunxi looked at Li Wenzhong and wanted to say more, so she continued:

"Master Li is the target of Young Master Ji's lawsuit, so it's better to say a few words less."

"When this king thoroughly investigates this matter, he will definitely return Mr. Li's innocence."

"Yes, sir, thank you Regent."

No matter how unwilling Li Wenzhong was, he did not dare to speak out to refute.

He knew the truth of the matter well.

Now that the regent is determined to investigate this matter, it is useless for him to say more.

Looking at his son kneeling on the ground beside him, Li Wenzhong felt that he had indulged his son too much.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so lawless and causing trouble everywhere.

Today, he even provoked the regent's head and uttered nonsense in front of the regent.

It's a pity that he understood a little too late
Li Wenzhong's gaze turned to Ji Fan, who was kneeling quietly on the ground with his back straight.

The feeling of uneasiness in my heart is even worse.

This poor scholar seems to firmly believe that the regent will make decisions for him.

Not a single word was said.

"Is there any evidence for what Young Master Ji said?" Gu Yunxi asked.

"Have."

Ji Fan took out a few folded white papers from the lapel of his chest, and presented them with both hands.

"This is the pleading paper written by the grass-roots people. The witnesses and material evidences are clearly written on it by the grass-roots people."

Chongyun stepped forward, picked up the paper in Ji Fan's hand, and handed it to Gu Yunxi.

The cause, development and result of the matter are clearly written on the five pages of white paper.

The words are concise and clear.

Gu Yunxi's eyes showed admiration.

"Lord Li, you let your son commit crimes and rob people's daughters, killing Ji Gongzi, his mother and his sister both tragically."

"You can still plead guilty!"

After Gu Yunxi finished speaking, she threw the paper in her hand heavily in front of Li Wenzhong.

"Master Li, you really let me down." Gu Yunxi said coldly.

Li Wenzhong looked at the papers scattered in front of him, his face pale.

The thin lips were opened and closed a few times, but they didn't say a word.
