Chapter 23

Jiang Ruan looked at him with a smile: "Oh, is that right? The coroner has not had an autopsy yet. How did you know that she was strangled to death? Didn't you say that when you saw her, she was already dead?"

Chen Zhao was sweating coldly, Qian Wanli also had a white face and a lot of loopholes in his testimony. The crowd had already understood. Jiang Ruan played with his hair without any reason: "Sir, do you still need to continue the trial?"

Beauty is like a poisonous flower, and it is fatal when you smile.

Chen Zhao's body became soft and he felt that Jiang Ruan had already dug up countless traps in his soft words. No matter how he answered, he was wrong. From the beginning, he lost.

Qian Wanli is not much better than Chen Zhao. Jiang Ruan's slander can no longer support the trial. Qian Wanli received money from others, and he has always done extremely well in his openness. Today's tricky situation is beyond his expectations. What's more, there is a Lord Wang watching. He is helping Chen Zhao, which is difficult to convince the public. I don't know what Lord Wang is thinking, but he helps Jiang Ruan. After eating Chen Zhao's money, he is unwilling to spit it out. Besides, he plans to make a fortune from Jiang Quan, so that the fat meat he gets must not be lost in vain. But how can he come up with a solution that has the best of both worlds?

But the facts were not allowed to be thought about by Qian Wanli. In a moment, there were sounds of drums outside and heard them. Li Mi walked in and hugged Qian Wanli and clasped her fists: "Sir, someone outside is praising the drum."

Is there anyone who has made such a move on the East Street? Everyone knows what kind of place the yamen is. There are really wrongs. Silver is much better than beating drums. If there is no silver, even if it has been a year or two, no one will pay attention to it. Maybe he will be arrested and jailed.

Qian Wanli was also stunned: "Who is asking for justice?" He looked at Lord Wang on the side again and asked for instructions: "Sir, look?"

"Bring in." Lord Wang snorted coldly, and this hum hit Qian Wanli's heart, making him unable to help but feel frightened.

The man was quickly brought in. He was a young girl dressed in a maid and knelt down as soon as he entered the court.

"Who are you? What's wronged?" Before Qian Wanli could speak, Lord Wang was the first to speak. Qian Wanli did not dare to stop him, but only complained in his heart. It seemed that Lord Wang had intervened in this case. He could not refuse. This King Jingshi was a popular man in front of the emperor. He often gave many notes on weekdays. This person was like a stinky and hard stone, with tens of thousands of shares. The officials he participated in did not end up in the end. It can be said that King Jingshi was the plague god in the hearts of the officials. Now that this plague god is speaking, he dare not neglect. Although the silver is good, he must first keep the black hat on his head. Qian Wanli made up his mind, it would be fine if Chen Zhao's money was not needed, and Jiang Quan would forget it. Today, King Jingshi was in front of him, and he would be the image of a parent official of the Great Master Qingtian.

Thinking of this, Qian Wanli said kindly: "What kind of injustice do you have? Even if you tell me the truth, I and this master will make the decision for you."

The people outside laughed, but Qian Wanli's words made people laugh. A dog official who did everything in a ruthless manner only reminded people of pretending to behave. Chen Zhao looked at Qian Wanli in shock, and a panic suddenly arose in his heart. Things did not develop as they thought. Qian Wanli's attitude was unclear. What would happen if he turned against him at the critical moment?

The girl rushed up and kowtowed: "Mr. Xie is the master of my servant. I am not accusing me of myself, but accusing me of Miss Jiang. I am the eldest maid in the Jiang family's village. I can testify for Miss Jiang. It is not Miss Jiang who killed Chunying, but him-Chen Zhao!"

She raised her head and showed a familiar face, which was Qiu Yan.

"Qiuyan... what are you talking about?" Chen Zhao was unbelievable after the initial panic. No matter what, Qiuyan should be with him. There is no reason to help Jiang Ruan. Now he has come out to prove him, what is the purpose of?

"I didn't lie," Qiu Yan didn't look at Chen Zhao, "I and Chunying are both maids in the village. They live in the same place on weekdays. On that day, I went out to buy things. When I came back, I heard strange noises in the room. I didn't dare to go in for a moment, so I looked into the small hole in the window. Just as I saw Chen Zhao pressing Chunying to the ground, Chen Zhao covered her mouth and nose. Chunying was no longer struggling. I was so scared that I was afraid of being discovered by him, so I escaped. After that, I didn't dare to mention this matter to anyone. But yesterday I knew that the lady was being held jailed. Although I was a person who was greedy for life and death, I could not watch an innocent person take the blame for this demon. After all, I came out to testify."

"Diehoo, what are you talking nonsense? How much benefit did Jiang Ruan give you? Let you slander my son like this. Master Qingtian is fair. Naturally, you will know who is lying and be careful to be imprisoned! Little prostitute, wait for you to come out and see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" A familiar voice in the crowd said loudly. It was Zhang Lan. At first, seeing that everything went smoothly in Chen Zhao, it was a little anxious when he saw Jiang Ruan speaking. At this moment, Qiu Yan came out to stir up trouble. Zhang Lan had already realized the danger and cursed like a shrew regardless of the occasion.

Such words were not very happy to hear Qian Wanli's ears. When Wang Yushi looked at him, he frowned. Qian Wanli slapped the awkward tree: "Silent!" After calming down, Qian Wanli asked Qiuyan: "What evidence do you have when you say this?"

Jiang Ruan smiled softly. In the quiet court, her smile was particularly clear. She felt a gentle wind blowing into people's hearts. Seeing everyone's eyes, Jiang Ruan slowly said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to think Qiu Yan is talking to me. Everyone knows that except Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao, the maids in this village are not very familiar with us."

Jiang Ruan's smiled eyes fell on Qiu Yan: "I was also very surprised that Qiu Yan was willing to come out to testify for me."

Qiu Yan dodged Jiang Ruan's eyes a little: "I just don't want to be sorry for my conscience."

"You are lying!" Chen Zhao said furiously: "You are clearly talking nonsense! You just colluded with me and wanted to frame me!"

"You are so funny." Jiang Ruan Yangmei looked at him: "I have been in prison all day and have never had the opportunity to ventilate with Qiu Yan. Could it be that we had colluded before? But how did we know that Chen Zhao, you would bring the official mission to the yard to arrest people yesterday? Could it be that I am a ghost or demon?"

Chen Zhao looked at the beautiful face in front of him, his eyes were as flowing as spring water, but he made people fall into a trap unconsciously. His lips were as full as petals, but he always spoke mean words. His eyebrows were as charming as spirits, but he was faintly murderous intent. He was not a fairy, but a witch, not a beauty, but a snake and scorpion.
