famous concubine

Chapter 620
Guan Zheng squinted at her, pursed his lips and smiled coldly, and said, "Dongfang Yu, no matter what his identity or details are, it is a fact that he witnessed you murder with his own eyes, and the evidence he provided is also consistent with what he said, and Several other sons also confirmed that you were at the scene at the time; based on these few things, this official thinks it is enough to prove that you are the murderer who killed Li Wenjun."

"So, the officer now wants to..."

"Master Guan is right. It is true that there is no need to care about the details of Du Qi's identity; however, the testimony of any other person can be ignored by Mr. Guan, but Mr. Guan must read the testimony of Mr. Li Wenjun himself."

The warm and mellow voice came from more and more people, and the cold and indifferent tone did not contain any emotion, but Guan Zheng was startled in an instant.

As soon as Mo Bai appeared, his slender and elegant demeanor and refined indifference and noble temperament attracted everyone's attention.

"Li Wenjun's own testimony?" Guan Zheng frowned, his heart turbulent, he looked at Mo Bai's enchanting face, and said, "I don't know what Shizi Bai means?"

"Master Guan, although Mr. Li Wenjun and Mr. Li passed away unfortunately, the only consolation in this misfortune is that under the best efforts of Doctor Shi, Mr. Li woke up for a while and is still alive at this moment. During the period of time, I confessed the whole story of what happened intermittently, and there were many people present to testify at that time."

Mo Bailian stood in the courtroom with a calm and indifferent demeanor, slightly averting his gaze to the side. After he gave way, he saw a few yamen servants walking into the courtroom surrounded by the minister of Dali Temple, Huo Ping.

"My lord, this is the confession given to me by the Zhongyonghou Lord Li Wenjun. This confession was made by Li Wenjun when he was dying. It was recorded by Li Wenjun himself, and finally Li Wenjun signed it for deposit."

Huo Ping walked into the courtroom with steady and official-looking steps, his eyes slightly raised, he glanced at Guan Zheng, and then glanced down at the confession in his hand.

"I have read this confession, but since this case happened in the area under the jurisdiction of Lord Guan, it should be reviewed by Lord Guan. This confession... I will leave it to you."

Guan Zheng watched the clerk take over the thin rice paper, and a cold light appeared in his eyes for a moment.

Huo Ping's move is tantamount to showing that he, the Minister of Dali Temple, will intervene in this case; it also shows that the confession of the truth of Chan Ming, Huo Ping, has already figured it out clearly. What is the intention behind this confession.

After Huo Ping, Li Changsheng also stood on the court.

"Master Guan." Li Changsheng stood up tremblingly. Although he felt depressed after being hit, and made people feel that his demeanor was not afraid of courage, but his eyes, full of grief and years of wind and frost, His gaze, like snow that has been tempered with crystal steel, was sharp and crystal clear and icy cold to the bone. His slightly stooped waist suddenly straightened when he faced Guan Zheng.

"This is the truth that my grandson revealed before his death. Many people were present to testify. This confession is absolutely true and reliable. Compared with this, the previous servant named Du Qi, everything he confessed was deliberately framed. Now you Should the case be reopened?"

"Should the truly guilty be arrested immediately?"

Guan Zheng quickly scanned Li Wenjun's confession, his gloomy face was not ordinary ugly, even the muscles on his face were trembling uneasily.

"Master Li, please forgive me for being rude to ask you a question." Zhong Lihao glanced lazily at the silent Guan Zheng, and suddenly bowed to Li Changsheng respectfully, "Because this concerns my personal innocence, please forgive me." Lord Hou must answer truthfully in front of Mr. Guan."

Although Li Changsheng didn't know the boy in front of him who looked very young and immature, but it was his immature baby face that made him almost immediately think of his grandson who had just passed away.

He blinked, the sadness and indignation in his eyes slightly decreased, and the gaze towards Zhong Lihao also unconsciously lost a trace of coldness and added a trace of unobserved kindness.

"What's your problem?"

"Master Li." Zhong Lihao suppressed his smirk and said very seriously: "As Li Wenjun's grandfather, you were always by Young Master Li's side during his last dying moments, so you must know him well. The wounds on his body, I want to ask, is there no other wounds on his body other than the wound stabbed by a dagger on his chest? For example, have you ever seen any new wounds caused by being bitten by animals on his body? Wound?"

Li Changsheng was startled when he heard this, he felt a little strange and embarrassed about his question in his heart, but he shook his head truthfully to Shang Zhonglihao's sincere and serious eyes, and replied: "As the young master said, Wen Jun has nothing but That fatal knife wound, and no new wounds."

Zhong Lihao didn't show any complacent joy when he heard the words, but he respectfully saluted Li Changsheng and said: "Thank you, Lord Li, although my action was offensive, it was really a last resort, please forgive me .”

"Master Guan, you heard clearly just now. Li Houye personally confirmed that Li Wenjun didn't have any new injuries caused by the biting of animals, so Du Qi's previous accusation of me being a dog to commit murder is not established."

Zhong Lihao stood up straight, although his baby face made people feel childish, but a person's natural noble and majestic temperament will not be weakened by his age.

Guan Zheng silently twitched the corners of his mouth, but he was slightly relieved in his heart.Just now he was still confused about how to deal with this kid.

This confirmation by Li Changsheng solved the problem for him.

"Since Marquis Li has confirmed that Mr. Zhongli did not let the dog do the murder, then Mr. Zhong will naturally not have to be punished."

"I've heard that Mr. Guan is a fair official. Now it seems that the rumors are true." Zhong Lihao turned around, faced Guan Zheng, and immediately showed a smirk again. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly changed the subject, saying: "However, Now that it has been proven that someone has made a false accusation before, should Lord Guan convict the person who made the false accusation and rectify the law?"

"By the way, my lord, for a witness who fabricates facts and slanders others at will, whether the testimony he provides is true and reliable is indeed a questionable issue."

Zhong Lihao seemed to be afraid that Guan Zheng would not be bothered enough, the words of praise and criticism were one after another, but his tone was extremely flat, as if he was talking about the weather, but no one could hear the depth of his words. Unrelenting and aggressive.

Mo Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, and while turning his eyes, he cast a strange look at Zhong Lihao; at this moment, the girl with a calm face also turned her head, and glanced at Zhong Lihao with a look of surprise in her eyes. , Just like that, two magnetic eyes, each with their own magnetism, met unexpectedly on Zhong Lihao's smirking baby face.

As soon as they meet, faint and intense sparks are silently wiped out in the air.

Dongfang Yu immediately turned his eyes away, avoiding Mo Bai's probing and caring gaze.
