Chapter 52
Gao Tingwei sneered, without saying a word, he stretched out his arms, signaling Wanyan Jing to enter the torture room.

Wan Yanjing was at the door of the torture room, squinting her eyes to look inside, a little reluctant to enter.But the situation is stronger than people, Gao Ting is strong and strong, and there are five or six fierce jailers around him, she is no match.

The torture room had no windows for ventilation, and a strong bloody smell lingered.

Four blood-stained wooden frames stood in the middle, and some strangely shaped instruments of torture were hung on the walls.There is a huge bucket on the edge, and in the bucket is an ordinary gourd ladle, but the handle of the ladle is also stained with blood.

There was a pile of documents spread out on the heavy iron table, and three seats had already been set up behind the table, two of which were already occupied.

One was Mr. Fan Hongfa, the probation officer whom Wan Yanjing had met before, and the other was about fifty, and his official robes should be of the third rank, with sharp eyes and dignified dignity.

In front of the wooden frame, there were two seats for the prisoners under trial, one of which sat a woman with her face covered.

As soon as Gao Tingwei entered, he bowed his eyebrows and smiled, cupped his hands and said: "I have seen Mr. Fan, Mr. Chu, and the officials brought the princess here."

Master Fan and Master Chu also got up and returned the courtesy.

Gao Tingwei sat down next to the two adults.

Wan Yanjing glanced over, suspicious but not leaking anything on her face, she took a few steps forward, consciously sat where the prisoner should sit, and looked at the slightly familiar woman sitting beside her.

Seeing that she was sitting up, the woman hurriedly moved the stool away from her, opened a little distance, and looked at her cautiously through her fingers.

Wan Yanjing recognized who she was, and frowned in surprise: "Tang Xiuer?"

When Tang Xiu'er called out her name, she trembled in fright. She lowered the sleeves covering her face tremblingly, revealing a face with slender eyebrows and sharp cheeks.

Sitting in the middle, Mr. Fan, the Criminal Prosecution Officer, patted the tree, and shouted: "Wan Yanjing, the criminal woman, you are suspected of bribery, plotting rebellion, and murdering the only daughter of Mr. Huang, the censor. Your crime is unforgivable, and you have not committed it honestly! "

Wan Yanjing trembled in fright when she was slapped by the tree, she recovered her composure and found that she had been accused of another crime.

This battle is really amazing!

But Huang Shaolan is dead?
"Master Huang's only daughter, Huang Shaolan? What happened to her?"

At this time Tang Xiu'er raised her head and glanced at her, then quickly lowered her head.

Lord Fan said in a deep voice, "Bring him up."

Two jailers brought in a young man who was so beaten that he couldn't tell who he was.

Wan Yanjing carefully identified the appearance of the young man, and found that she had never seen this man before.

But the young man seemed to know her, and when he came in, he cried bitterly: "Your Highness, Your Highness must save me."

Mo Bei Lao Tzu, who are you and what does it have to do with me?
If it weren't for the two guards pulling behind him, Wan Yanjing would have suspected that he was going to jump on her feet.

Mr. Fan sneered and said: "Guo Bei, the criminal, stopped Huang Shaolan's carriage in Anming Lane on April 27th in the sixth year of Hongwen. He raped and then killed Huang Shaolan. He dismembered her and threw her body under the river bridge in the city. Two lives, extremely cruel, are you guilty?"

Guo Bei kowtowed in panic, his forehead was bleeding after a few strokes: "My lord, let me tell you that Caomin has indeed committed a huge crime. I just ask you to make me feel good. But this is all because of the concubine's instigation to me. I did it, the lives of my family are in the hands of the concubine, so I have no choice but to do it. The death of the grass people is not a pity, I just ask the adults to protect my family."

Wanyan's meditation is like still water. There is a saying that there are too many lice and it doesn't itch. She is in this state now.

Mr. Chu of the Ministry of Punishment held a pen and recorded something from time to time. At this time, he turned to Tang Xiu'er and asked, "Mrs. Tang, don't be afraid, tell me what you know."

Tang Xiu'er glanced at Wanyan Jing in fear, pointed at her and said sharply: "It was her, Shaolan must have been killed by her, at the banquet that day, we just chatted with her behind her back, and she said that she would kill her Us. Shaolan disappeared within a few days, unexpectedly, unexpectedly..."

"My lord, you must bring the murderer to justice."

Tang Xiuer wept and moved the stool under her butt further away from her.

Master Fan snorted coldly: "Sinister Wanyan Jing, Guo Bei is the guy in the backyard of Yongle Dyefang under your jurisdiction. He is usually timid and fearful. If he hadn't been instructed by you, how would he know Huang Shaolan's whereabouts and how dare he do such a thing?" A big treason? It’s just a few gossips, and you dare to disregard human life, it’s simply lawless.”

"Your maidservants, Gan Tang, have already been recruited. What else do you have to explain? This time, I don't want the black hat on my head, and I will also announce your crimes to the world. Your Majesty please decide."

Fan Hongfa cupped his hands and bowed upwards with a dignified air.

"The prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people, and we will never tolerate it!"

A bunch of malicious eyes were on his back.

Wan Yanjing felt that the bench she was sitting on was the same as the one Tang Xiuer was sitting on, hot ass.

"My lord, it's all wrong! How can a woman in this palace who doesn't go out of the gate do such a big thing, and how can there be any evidence to prove that I did it?"

"Humph!"

Master Fan stood up, talked about him from left to right, and instead of mentioning the evidence, he threw a stack of silver bags in front of Wan Yanjing.

"Not to mention anything else, the crime of bribing Tianlao Tingwei is enough for you to eat a pot. Your maid Gan Tang, in order to get rid of the crime, personally handed over this money bag to Mr. Gao, which was witnessed by Mr. Gao himself. See, there are all witnesses and material evidence, and you still have to quibble?"

Gao Tingwei also stood up, smiled embarrassedly and said: "Princess, I'm sorry, I am an upright official, such corruption and bribery is really impossible."

Wan Yanjing lowered her head expressionlessly, picked up the purse, and shook it with her hands, there were probably more than a hundred taels.

"100 taels of silver, is it worth being so serious, my lords? I am not used to the food in the prison, so it is so strange to ask Mr. Gao to help improve the food. It is fine if Mr. Gao does not give me the food. I am now a prisoner. This is wronged and I will bear it. Just with this mere 100 taels of silver, I will be charged with another crime of bribery, isn't it too much?"

"Master Gao has a bad memory, so let me remind you, you won't forget about going to the Suiqing Palace so soon, will you?"

When Gao Tingwei heard the words "Qinghe Garden", the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"Also, Master Fan, do you still remember Xiao Li from Changning County?"

"You!" Fan Hongfa also changed his face, pointing at Wan Yanjing, three points puzzled, three points panic, four points anger.
