Chapter 121: The Prince's Provincial
Gu Wanwan's face was pale, her eyes were slightly stunned and she stared at her parents, Lord Li, while Gu Mu on the side looked gentle and elegant as a delicate son.
Between this static movement, the contrast between good and evil, the judgment is made.
Lord Li was even more angry with Gu Wanwan in his heart, remembering that the Holy Lord's edict just now asked him to deal with it impartially, and everything was according to the law. Master Li hooked his lips and smiled, now it was for him to find a justifiable reason.
Then he immediately ordered: "Left and right officials, come, Gu Wan openly roared in the court, his expression was bad, and he was waiting for a big punishment!" As he spoke, he casually threw down the sticks on the desk.
When Gu Wanwan was forcibly pressed and tied to the bench by several big men, Gu Wanwan had only one thought in her heart, that is: "It's over, it's over." ”
Originally, what she thought before was that she would behave badly, and then Gu Mu would perform the image of a handsome son, so that in the eyes of the people and Master Li, she couldn't help but feel that Gu Mu was a good person.
But now she doesn't know if Gu Mu is a good person in the eyes of people, anyway, she must be a bad person.
When the board in the officer's hand fell on Gu Wanwan, a terrible pig cry sounded in the public court.
It's really sad for those who hear it, and weep for those who hear it.
Gu Mu was also very worried about Gu Wanwan, he knew Gu Wanwan's true identity, knew that she was a woman and had not experienced any catastrophes, even if they were usually brothers, there was nothing to be afraid of. But the officer's board is very heavy. The average person can't stand it after a few hits.
Seeing this, Gu Mu hurriedly pleaded with Lord Li for Gu Wanwan: "Why should my lord be like this, Lord Gu, he is just anxious in his heart, so his voice is a little louder, why use Da Xing." ”
Master Li looked at him in surprise and asked, "He has been preventing you from recognizing your ancestors and returning to your ancestors, but you are speaking for him and interceding for him at this time, what do you think?" ”
"My lord, it's true that I want to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and it's not false that Lord Gu has been stopping me. But Lord Gu is also for the sake of Master Gu's reputation, worried that I am pretending to be a thief, neither of us has any other thoughts, and I hope that Lord Gu will be aware of it. Gu Mu lifted his robe, knelt directly on the ground, and bowed to Lord Li.
While the two of them were talking, the board in the officer's hand did not stop, and Gu Wanwan kept pinching the palm of her hand tightly with her fingernails to keep herself from shouting loudly.
That's a shame. She is a person who has been on the battlefield, how can she cry out for pain because of a board.
But it really hurts! The ass feels like it's going to bloom! Is there anyone to save her desperate child?
"What is Master Li doing?" Perhaps it was Gu Wanwan's prayer in her heart that was inspired by heaven, and Gu Wanwan finally heard that someone had stopped the servants. The man's voice was deep and magnetic, and one couldn't help but guess what the real person looked like just by listening to the voice.
Lord Li in front of the stage saw the true appearance of the person who came clearly, and hurriedly climbed down from the stage and knelt down in front of the person who came, and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Gu Mu on the side also knelt down and shouted His Royal Highness the Prince, and the onlookers also knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Yes, the person who became Gu Wanwan's patron saint to save her was Ning Changyuan.
Ning Changyuan looked at Gu Wanwan, who was tied to the bench and her back was bleeding, there was no expression on her face, but her heart was already slightly throbbing.
This is the person he puts on the tip of his heart.
But Ning Changyuan couldn't help Gu Wanwan, he had to worry about the identities of the two people and rumors in the market, and Qingye on the side knew each other very well and immediately walked to Gu Wanwan's side and helped her up: "Lord Gu is okay, right?" ”
Gu Wanwan nodded at Ning Changyuan with spirits, no matter what her feelings are in private, she still has to take a walk in front of outsiders.
"The minister is unwell today and can't salute, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me."
Ning Changyuan nodded and waved his hand: "Everyone is flat." Ning Changyuan glanced at the scar on Gu Wanwan's back, frowned and looked at Lord Li, and asked, "Lord Li, is this torture to extract a confession?" If the palace doesn't come, I don't know that Lord Li usually uses this method to try cases. ”
"Lord Gu was treated like this when he was still an official of the imperial court, if he changed to someone else, would he still be able to come to the palace to see at this time?" Ning Changyuan's words were very cold, and Master Li, who poked directly, was speechless.
After saying these words, Ning Changyuan flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Master Gu has an injury, go get a chair to let Lord Gu rest." ”
Lord Li watched the interaction between Ning Changyuan and Gu Wanwan, and couldn't stop crying out in his heart.
What's going on today? First of all, the Holy Lord asked him to deal with it impartially to see if Gu Mu was a member of the Gu family. This time, the crown prince came again, just in time for him to torture Gu Wan.
And...... Didn't the ministers of the court and the central government say that Gu Wan pursued His Royal Highness the Prince's unrequited love, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rejected Gu Wan? How does this look like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Gu Wan are in love?
Ning Changyuan didn't know what Lord Li was thinking, so he just called softly: "Lord Li doesn't have to be nervous, this palace is just curious about the final trial result today, Lord Li only needs to deal with it impartially, and this palace will not interfere with your lord's case." Hearing this, Lord Li hurriedly bowed his head and said yes, and before he could sit back on the chair, he heard Ning Changyuan say again: "It's just that this palace hopes that this practice of using great punishment will not be repeated today, Lord Li, what do you say?" ”
"Yes, yes, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that the villain is too reckless." Master Li wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and watched the official set up a seat belonging to Ning Changyuan beside him, and felt that it was so difficult to try the case for the first time.
But the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent.
It's all up to this, and this case has to be tried anyway.
Master Li could only bite the bullet, he knocked on the shocking wood, looked at the audience and asked, "Gu Mu, you said that you are the son of Master Gu, is there any other evidence besides the jade pendant?" ”
Seeing this, Gu Mu thought about it seriously, and then replied sincerely: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Li, the villain has no other tokens except for the jade pendant. ”
"Since there is no evidence to prove it for you, how can you say that you are a member of my Gu family!" Gu Wanwan sat on the chair, although her body was weak, she was still tough, and she wanted to refute Gu Mu's words.
Gu Wanwan: Even if I die today and fall in the coffin, I will use the last strength of my life to say: "Gu Mu, you are not the Gu family!" ”
Master Li also agreed with the words, so he could only look at Gu Mu with great pity and said, "Gu Mu, do you know that there is no evidence enough to prove it, so you can't recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors." Even Lord Ben is powerless. ”
"There is no token to prove, but there is blood to prove it." Ning Changyuan, who had been silent, suddenly looked at the audience and said this.
