my wife is wonderful

Chapter 304 Finale (V)

"You are wronged? You are wronged. Don't think that there is no evidence just because Wan Sha is dead. I, Ma Xiaodou, am not stupid. Wan Sha is just a nobody. Oh, he seemed to be the son of the chief of Qiying Village. But he is useless to me, Ma Xiaodou!"

Before Fan Kai and the others could ask, Ma Xiaodou had already spat at Wu Qiyao. The two of them were at a distance from each other, and were each being escorted by yamen runners behind them. They were almost kneeling on the ground, but even so, Wan Sa still spat accurately on Wu Qiyao's face.

Wu Qiyao felt extremely disgusted, but his hands were tied behind his back, so he couldn't reach out to wipe them. He could only endure the disgusting feeling on his face, feeling both aggrieved and helpless. His expression made Ma Xiaodou laugh.

"Silence! Ma Xiaodou, do you want to try the torture instruments of my Dali Temple?" Fan Kai shouted.

Ma Xiaodou naturally did not want to experience the power of the Dali Temple's torture instruments. At this point, he knew that he would not survive, but in the days before his death, he could live happily according to his own wishes.

"Sir, I just saw Mr. Wu San and thought that it was him who caused me to be in this situation. I was so angry that I couldn't hold back. I know my crime and I will never do it again. If you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know!"

Fan Kai and the other two looked at each other. Ma Xiaodou was the most cooperative person they had met today. They just didn't know whether he was really cooperating or just saying nice things and then using ambiguous words to fool them during the actual interrogation.

"In that case, tell us why you shot that arrow at His Royal Highness Prince Jin outside Gaofeng City. Don't say you shot him by mistake. We don't believe it, and no one else will."

Liu Chengxu asked directly, his eyes fixed on Ma Xiaodou's face, not missing any change in his expression.

"Sir, my archery skills are not to mention the ability to shoot an arrow through a hundred steps, but I am also somewhat famous in the army. How could I accidentally hurt someone, and I just happened to accidentally hurt His Royal Highness Prince Jin. The reason why I shot that arrow was naturally because I was instructed by someone, and the person who instructed me was the Third Master Wu of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion."

Wu Qiyao was about to retort, but was slapped in the face by the yamen runner behind him. "The lord hasn't asked you yet, so don't interrupt. Otherwise, you will be charged with contempt of court."

Wu Qiyao still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. After all, His Royal Highness Prince Ping was still standing in front of him in brocade clothes, instead of kneeling in the court in prison clothes like them. Obviously, he was still Prince Ping and had not become a prisoner. As long as Prince Ping was not done, he would not be done either. Therefore, the will to survive made Wu Qiyao unable to help but want to refute Ma Xiaodou's words again and again. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that the crime of assassinating the prince could not fall on his head.

However, as soon as he showed signs of opening his mouth, he was slapped hard in the face by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Dali Temple runners. After a while, both sides of his face were swollen like buns, and even if he wanted to open his mouth again, he was not so nimble.

"Is that Mr. Wu San an idiot?" Zhu Yan couldn't help but touching his face as he listened to the sound of being slapped in the face.

"It's so stupid!" Geng Xingshuang also felt that the sound of being slapped in the face was too magical and could make people feel involved in it.

Originally, the two of them had been preparing a speech in their minds, thinking about what questions the three presiding judges would ask when they went to court, and how they should answer so that their answers would both evoke empathy and get to the point. The Xie family was gone, and what King Ping had done to them could not be let off so easily.

But listening to the interrogation next door was like reading a storybook with rich plots and climaxes. The two gradually forgot the purpose of their visit today and focused on listening to the interrogation. This was something that outsiders could not hear. If they were not a part of the case and had a special identity, how could they have this opportunity? Yang Qingmo was an extraordinary martial artist with five senses far superior to ordinary people. In particular, he was concentrating on listening to the noise next door. He was worried that his childhood sweetheart fiancée was anxious and nervous, so he wanted to listen to what they were saying. If there was any difficulty, although he was in court, he had said what he needed to say and could help solve it.

When he heard that Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan were only concerned with discussing the trial in the court, and that Shuang Jie'er was very calmly pointing out who was talking nonsense and who was saying something useful, and was very excited, she was almost serving them with a few plates of snacks, dried fruits and tea. He slightly raised the corners of his lips, this... is very good!
He couldn't help but feel a joy in his heart, which overflowed from the corners of his eyes and brows. At this moment, there was a little more affection in Yang Qingmo Ruifeng's eyes, but that affection was hidden in his eyes and he quickly concealed it, returning to his original indifferent and cold look. No one in the court noticed this momentary change in him, except one person.

Zhang Kexin turned her head to look at the man who had been in her heart since the first time she met him. In order to be able to accompany him and stay with him for the rest of her life, she listened to King Ping's instigation and, despite her family's objections, she insisted on going to the north to find him.

She would bring him comfort on the battlefield where flames of war were raging and corpses were strewn all over the ground. After he was defeated, she would comfort him and accompany him. Even if he was alone or even convicted and exiled, she would always be the strongest bond to him.

But now she was kneeling in this court as a prisoner. She knew that King Ping would pin all the blame for kidnapping that bitch Geng Xingshuang on her, and that it was she who wanted to kill her out of jealousy.

Actually...it's not wrong!

She really had the intention and had contributed a lot. Now that she had failed, she had nothing to defend herself.

She had anticipated today's outcome the moment the Zhen Yao army won a great victory, and after so long, she had already accepted it.

Ever since she was taken to the Dali Temple court, her attention has always been on one person. When Yang Qingmo looked over here from time to time, she couldn't help but have infatuated thoughts in her heart, thinking that he finally noticed her. However, although she was deeply in love with him, she was not stupid. Although his eyes looked at her from time to time, they never moved downwards, but were looking straight at her. She was kneeling and he was standing, so he was definitely not looking at her.

She suddenly remembered that before she came in, the bailiff guarding them had casually mentioned that there would be a noble lady among the witnesses today. He praised the Duke of Zhenguo and the Marquis of Anping for their magnanimity and willingness to let their daughters serve as witnesses in the Dali Temple.

At this moment, she realized that Geng Xingshuang seemed to be staying in the next room. Yang Maoshan was always looking at his fiancée who was separated by a wall, and was reluctant to even look at her.

Naturally, no one here paid attention to Zhang Kexin's thoughts, and the only one who might pay attention to her, Zhu Ni, was also confused at this time, and kept muttering "It's not me, it's not me..."

Everyone was listening to Ma Xiaodou. He glanced at Wu Qiyao with contempt and sneered, "You noble young men always look up at others and never look at people of low status like me. You always think we are like ants, and you can manipulate us as you want. You are also very stupid. But I, Ma Xiaodou, tell you, my luck is really not that good. I didn't listen to Brother Lou at the beginning, and was dazzled by Wan Shaxu's bright future, so I have the current situation.

But Wan Sha's status is not much higher than mine, and he asked me to do a business that would cost me my life. How could I trust him so easily? Third Master Wu, you don't know that Wan Sha not only secretly brought me to see you, but I also eavesdropped on your conversation. Knowing that the most important person in this matter is His Royal Highness Prince Ping, I decided to shoot that arrow, thinking that as long as I hit the target, I could escape and hide for a while, and then I could get the credit of following the dragon. So, Third Master, I remember your face clearly. Although Wan Sha is dead, you can't deny it. "

After Ma Xiaodou finished speaking, he kowtowed and said, "Sir, I have said everything I should say. If even one of my words is false, I will not have a good death!"

"You were destined to die a miserable death!" These words popped up in the minds of Fan Kai and others almost at the same time.
