Chapter 56: Brotherhood

The people of Yuwangfu except for Ah Yu stayed to guard Leng Yu, and left two men to guard the door, and the rest of the people all went out to spread the word to the people.

When Luo Lan and the others arrived, the Shuntian Mansion was already full of people on the inside and outside of the three floors, and it seemed that these people had come to see the excitement.

In this Daning country, the government tried the case, and the people could watch and even express their opinions, which was the rule set by the emperor.

Today is Princess Yu and Nie Changan facing off in court, and the people really came to see the excitement as Luo Lan said.

In the Shuntianfu Public Hall, Lord Lu in the main hall was sitting precariously, he had a pair of shrewd little eyes, and kept looking around.

When Luo Lan appeared with Xiao Zhi and Ah Gang, Ah Hou shouted to the crowd:

"Let's let go, Princess Yu is here."

Hearing this, the crowd instantly made a way, and Luo Lan took Xiao Zhi and Ah Gang to the public hall with a solemn face.

At this time, Nie Changan had already arrived one step ahead, he was talking to Master Hu who had robbed Luo Lanyu Ruyi while drinking tea, when he heard her coming, he frowned, glanced at Master Hu, and stood under the hall with his back hand.

Luo Lan watched in the court for a week, but she didn't see the Zhang Zhutou who she thought was very upright, and she didn't know if he would appear after a while.

When Lord Lu saw Luo Lan coming in, he hurriedly patted the startled wood, and then cleared his throat.

The initial domain name

"Now ascend to the church, what are the people under the hall? One by one. ”

As soon as his words fell, Nie Changan took the lead in hugging his fists and said:

"In Xia Nie Chang'an, the shopkeeper of the Longevity Hall, today I want to sue Princess Yu of the Yu Palace, she instructed the people in her house to come to my Longevity Hall to steal things, and I caught her, but she led people to break into my house in the middle of the night and take people away, she is blatantly conniving at her subordinates to do evil! Lord Lu has to make the decision for me. ”

Lord Lu glanced at Luo Lan and asked in a stern voice, "Princess Yu, you are a relative of the emperor, why would you do such a rude thing?" Aren't you afraid that the emperor will know about your crimes? ”

Hearing this, Luo Lan already knew that this Master Lu was indeed as Leng Yu said, he and Nie Changan were wearing the same pants.

She snorted contemptuously, then raised her voice and replied:

"Lord Lu, it doesn't seem to be in line with the rules for you to ask the case like this, you always have to ask the reason for the matter before making a conclusion, I listen to the meaning of your words, just listen to the words of the shopkeeper Nie and the case will be decided? The shopkeeper Nie said that he came to sue me, and I also said that I came to sue him, he forcibly brought the people in my house into his mansion without authorization, tortured them, and forced them to admit that I instructed them to enter the Changshou Hall to steal things, which is a typical action lynching, which is not allowed in Daning Kingdom, and ask Lord Lu to uphold justice. ”

"You're talking nonsense."

Nie Changan suddenly pointed his finger at her and roared, "You don't want to slander me in front of Lord Lu, how can I use lynching?" I, Nie Chang'an, have been practicing medicine in the capital for many years, and I am doing it right, how can I do such a thing? ”

Lord Lu also nodded in agreement, "Shopkeeper Nie's words are reasonable, Changshou Hall is a well-known medical hall in the capital, and it is the most trusted medical hall among the people, how can you do what you said?" ”

"Lord Lu......"

Luo Lan suddenly raised his voice, "Last night, Zhang Zhutou in your mansion personally took people to the Longevity Hall, and he saw with his own eyes that two people from my Yuwang Mansion were injured by the people of the Longevity Hall, you can ask him to come out for questioning." ”

At the mention of Zhang Yuan, Lord Lu covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "Zhang Yuan was dismissed for some reason, he will go home to farm, his testimony is not credible." ”

Dismissed?

Luo Lan frowned and looked at Lord Lu and Nie Changan, who was being proud.

She knew that this must be Nie Changan's ghost, Zhang Zhutou must have stayed up for a long time to get into the position of head catcher, because of this matter was dismissed, it seems that this Shuntianfu is really a dark place.

She chuckled and nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, then please tell the people in the back, did you see these two people lying in the firewood room of the Longevity Hall with serious injuries last night?" ”

In such a situation, where do the people dare to testify, everyone bows their heads and whispers, but no one is willing to stand up.

At this time, Empress Ah squeezed in front of people with a group of girls from Yuwang's Mansion,

"We can testify that last night, Xiao Zhi and Ah Gang were locked up in the firewood room in the backyard of the Longevity Hall, and they were already dying when they returned."

Lord Lu half-squinted his eyes and patted the startled wood and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Nie Changan pointed directly at them, hummed his nose and replied:

"Lord Lu, they are all from Yuwangfu, they must be colluding, please check it out."

Hearing this, Lord Lu pulled the corners of his mouth and snorted coldly, "How can this be true, you are both from Yuwangfu, your testimony is naturally not credible, are there any other witnesses?" ”

This Lord Lu seemed to expect that these people would not dare to come out to testify, so he asked like this.

Sure enough, although the people were talking about something in private, no one was willing to come forward to testify.

At this time, Xiao Zhi took two steps forward and directly pulled up his shirt, and the place that had been burned by the iron plate was clearly visible.

He raised his voice and shouted:

"I don't need you to testify, I will prove it myself, this is what the people of the Longevity Hall left me behind when they tortured me last night, they not only scalded me with chrome iron, but also hung me up and whipped me, so that I could admit that Princess Yu ordered me to go to the Longevity Hall to steal things."

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhi specially lifted his shirt and walked around the public hall, and the people standing at the door smacked their tongues when they saw this scene.

He continued:

"Yesterday afternoon, I was passing by the Longevity Hall, and suddenly two people came over to cover my mouth, took me into the backyard of the Longevity Hall, and then tied me up, they asked me if Princess Yu asked me to go to the Longevity Hall to steal things, I said no, and they started beating me."

With that, he rolled up his sleeves again, "This is where they have been beaten, and here." ”

As he spoke, he took off his pants again, and his supposedly clean ass was covered with whip marks.

Seeing this scene, Luo Lan's eyes were red, she clenched her fists, closed her eyes slightly, and didn't dare to think about how Xiao Zhi endured it at that time.

The people also shook their heads and sighed, and expressed sympathy for Xiao Zhi.

After seeing his wounds, he lifted his pants again, "I just passed by Changshou Hall, and I didn't mean to go in, I don't know why they had to frame me for stealing?" And if you have to say that Princess Yu asked me to go, I don't admit it, so they beat me to death. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhi began to bow his head and sobbed softly, like that, he was extremely aggrieved, which made people feel distressed.
