Chapter 139: Supporting the Right Path

After Li Xiangliang ate enough wine and food, he took a toothbrush and shaved his teeth, and his expression relaxed, looking like his brain was full of fat.

"Grandpa Wang, let's go?"

Wang Dong came out of the palace, and his meals were natural and meticulous, holding the spoon with his orchid fingers, and sending it to his mouth spoonful by spoonful.

Hearing Li Xiangliang's words, Wang Dong realized that he had almost eaten, put the spoon back in the bowl, still picked up the handkerchief next to him with his little thumb, and wiped his mouth delicately: "Wellโ€”โ€”- go!" The voice was so sharp that it seemed to tear the air apart.

Li Xiangliang and Wang Dong got back into the sedan chair and returned to the county office, and Mao Xiang also came out of the back hall.

Now that the people have arrived, the trial continues.

Mao Xiang slapped the startling wood on the table and shouted: "Ascend to the hall." โ€

The two rows of officials below used the sticks and clubs in their hands to pestle the ground and shouted in unison: "Might-"

As soon as Mao Xiang came up, he interrogated Xiaomei: "Who is in the hall, and what is the relationship with the prisoner." โ€

Xiaomei walked to the center of the hall from the side, knelt down in front of Mao Xiang, and said in a straight voice: "My name is Xiaomei, and I am the personal maid of my young lady Dong Xiaowan." โ€

Mao Xiang continued to ask: "Now many people have accused Dong Xiaowan of being a demon girl, can you agree?" โ€

Xiaomei straightened up suddenly: "I don't agree!" โ€

"Oh? Why? โ€

"My young lady was framed!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone didn't expect things to be reversed.

Xiaomei continued: "In yesterday's dance, I saw my young lady dance many times, and there was nothing unusual. โ€

"Yesterday, Miss's body glowed when lightning and thunder roared, which was completely framed by Mama Liu of the Teaching Workshop Division, and some materials that would glow in the dark were applied to my Miss!"

As soon as Xiaomei said this, not only did the people below look amazed and full of curiosity.

Even Li Xiangliang and Wang Dong's faces changed suddenly, as if they had been poked in the weakness, and they were restless.

Li Xiangliang immediately reprimanded loudly: "Full of nonsense, someone is coming!" Pull down the heavy twenty boards for me, and see if she tells the truth! โ€

Mao Xiang immediately slapped the startling wood in his hand on the table: "Lord Li, this girl just said one sentence, why bother to use such a heavy punishment!" โ€

Li Xiangliang sneered: "Our county lord is really disrespectful, I am an order from a political envoy, where did you have the courage to interject?" โ€

Mao Xiang wanted to refute in the middle of his speech, but Li Xiangliang's voice was loud, and he suddenly covered his voice, and was reprimanded by him from the moral high ground, so he had to say: "Master Li, then you say it first, and I will explain it when you finish speaking." โ€

Li Xiangliang continued to point the finger at Mao Xiang: "At a young age, when the chief is still there, he tried to turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands for rain, do you still put the law of our trial in your eyes?" โ€

After Li Xiangliang finished speaking, he angrily threw the folding fan in his hand to the center of the hall and broke it in two.

Seeing that he had finally finished speaking, Mao Xiang cleared his throat and replied respectfully and methodically: "Master Li, isn't the meaning of this trial to explore the truth and support the right path, but it is just a testimony of a witness. โ€

When Mao Xiang said this, the seal didn't hold back, and shouted: "Okay." โ€

Fortunately, the seal was dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and he was not conspicuous in the crowd, and did not attract the attention of the hall to this side.

However, the cry of the seal seemed to be the fuse, setting off the admiration of the crowd for Mao Xiang.

Everyone is an ordinary person, why don't they want to go to court to fight a lawsuit, isn't there a Qingtian lord like Mao Xiang to administer justice for them?

They can't say what they want to say at all, and they can only say what the officials in the hall want to hear, like an anvil on a board, to be slaughtered.

One after another, the people quietly raised their fists and shouted, "What Master Mao said is right! "Why use criminal responsibility casually!"

Everyone knows the truth that the law does not blame the public, and with the seal, they were the first to boldly applaud Mao Xiang, and these ordinary people finally dared to make their voices heard.

Right and wrong are like mirrors in the eyes of the people, Mao Xiang suddenly had confidence, looking at the raised arms in the distance to cheer himself up, his eyes were a little red, and his body was unconsciously straightened.

Li Xiangliang looked at the craze below, gritted his teeth for a while, and in the end, he was defeated by the people's voice: "People under the court, since you said conclusively that your young lady is not a demon girl, is there any evidence?" โ€

"Otherwise, I can sue you for lying and confusing the public, and sooner or later I will end up with your young lady" Li Xiangliang found that it was not good to be tough, so he changed his way โ€”โ€”โ€” threatened!

After hearing this, Xiaomei took out the evidence she was carefully carrying from her arms and spread it on the ground: "My lord, this is the rouge that Mama Liu gave to my young lady, after being applied, it will glow at night like a firefly!" โ€

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar!

This thing that glows at night is something that ordinary people have never even heard of. If there really is such a thing, the vision on Dong Xiaowan's body last night can naturally be explained.

Li Xiangliang walked off the stage and twisted a pinch with his thick fingers: "You said this thing would shine, where did it shine?" Doesn't it seem to me to be the usual rouge gouache! He stared at Xiaomei fiercely in his eyes.

Xiaomei arched her two palms into an arc and put them on the rouge powder, leaving only a small hole: "My lord, this thing will only shine in the night, and if you look at it from my hand now, it will be bright!" โ€

Li Xiangliang suddenly laughed, looked in along Xiaomei's palm, raised his head in an instant, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "It's not bright at all, I think you are really too bold, why are you playing the court officials to make trouble here!" โ€

Xiaomei immediately cried and shouted: "You are telling a lie, this thing is bright!" You let someone else come and see! โ€

Li Xiangliang stepped on Xiaomei's hand, crushed it, and trampled all the little fat powder under Xiaomei's hand: "You mean that I, a dignified political envoy, am lying here?" โ€

Xiaomei watched the evidence she had managed to save being trampled on by Li Xiangliang, and cried as if she was collapsing: "You're just telling a lie!" You're lying! He said this sentence helplessly over and over again.

Xiaomei has never seen such a brazen person since she was a child, and she couldn't hold back her emotions for a moment.

Li Xiangliang said mockingly: "Not only is it unbelievable, but now you are insulting the officials of the imperial court, I think you are really tired of it, pull it down, and it will be twenty at the worst!" โ€

After speaking, Li Xiangliang looked at Mao Xiang with contempt like victory, and the hairy boy dared to fight him. Okay, then he'll see who can beat whom!
