"Miss Xiao San, is what he said true?" Emperor Rui asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers don't." Xiao Yiran said, and then she turned her head and asked Li Mazi, who was kneeling on the ground: "You said that I killed Mrs. Wang, when did I kill it, and what evidence do you have?" ”

Li Mazi glared at her angrily: "Third Miss, don't quibble in front of Your Majesty!" He lifted his trouser legs, pointed to his calf that couldn't be straightened, and said, "You broke this leg of mine with your own hand!" It's not been a day or two since you hold a grudge against us husband and wife! ”

Seeing his legs, everyone instantly started talking again, who would have thought that Miss Xiao San, who looked weak, would be able to break an adult man's legs? In this way, it is not difficult for her to kill the princess!

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes turned strange.

Xiao Zhiyuan also hurriedly jumped up: "What's going on?" You unfilial daughter! Li San's leg and the death of Wang Pozi were all done by you? As soon as the words fell, he remembered that Emperor Rui An was still beside him, and hurriedly glanced at him, and found that the other party did not show any dissatisfied expression on his face, and then relieved himself.

This is her real father! Xiao Yiran looked at Xiao Zhiyuan, who had not fully figured out the reason, so he blushed with anger and scolded her with a thick neck, and thought coldly.

"I said, I didn't do it!" Xiao Yiran repeated.

"Miss Xiao San, you didn't do it, you have to come up with some proof!" Baili Chan said coolly on the side.

"Oh?" Xiao Yiran looked at him sarcastically: "Fourth prince, if I say that you killed the princess, do you admit it?" ”

"Of course I don't admit it, what does it have to do with me? Why did I kill the country woman? Bai Lizan replied unhappily.

"Can you prove it?"

Bai Lizan choked suddenly, he looked at Xiao Yiran gloomily, and finally understood that she had wrapped him in.

"Poof!" Seeing Baili Zhan's deflated appearance, Murong Liang unceremoniously immediately laughed loudly, causing Queen Murong to look at her warnly.

Trying to hold back his laughter, Murong Liang straightened his face: "Yes! What, Fourth Highness, who killed whom, it's not empty words and white teeth. Let's not talk about whether this Li San's leg was abolished by Miss Xiao San, even if she was abolished, it doesn't mean that she killed her wife! ”

"Yes! This statement is indeed somewhat unreasonable. Empress Murong also said softly.

Unexpectedly, the queen and Murong Liang would help Xiao Yiran speak, everyone present was shocked, Bai Lizhan gritted his teeth in resentment, and he quietly kicked Li Mazi again.

Li Mazi saw so many people speaking for Xiao Yiran, and he was already a little panicked in his heart, but at this time, even if he was afraid, he couldn't help it.

Thinking that he stabbed Mrs. Wang to death by mistake, and when he was in a hurry to run away but saw a person standing outside the door, he felt like falling into an ice cellar.

But what he never expected was that the man did not expose him, but took him to the capital, and served him with good food and drink.

Later, he learned that the person who brought him was the person from the fourth prince, Baili Zhan. He originally sent someone to inquire about Xiao Yiran's fiancée, but Xiao Yiran didn't see it, but accidentally bumped into the scene where he killed someone.

Later, the fourth prince asked him to frame Xiao Yiran, saying that as long as Xiao Yiran was identified at the banquet today, after the matter was completed, he would give him a large sum of money to enjoy his old age, and if he didn't comply, he would immediately send him to the palace.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Mazi lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, what the grass people said is true!" These three young ladies really killed the grass people's mother-in-law! Don't believe it, you see, this is what the grass people's mother held in her hands before she died. He carefully took something out of his bosom and held it above his head.

Xiao Yiran fixed his eyes and saw that it was a wooden villain pendant, which was also something she had worn on her body since she was a child. She still remembered that this thing was snatched by Mrs. Wang when she arrived in the suburbs, and she took it to the pawnshop in the city to ask someone to see it. The pawnshop man said that it was only made of wood, and he would not give a penny.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang, who didn't get the money, came back and scolded Xiao Yiran fiercely, saying that she was still the lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and she even wore a broken piece of wood. It's just that now, this pendant will actually appear in Li Mazi's hand, could it be that Wang Pozi is really dead? Xiao Yiran pondered.

"Ouch!" The white painting screen not far away immediately exclaimed when he saw this thing, "Isn't that the talisman that the third girl has been wearing since she was a child?" I heard that it was Sister Chu's father, and the old general Chu gave it to her! ”

Emperor Rui'an glanced at the attendant beside him, and the attendant understood, and immediately took the talisman from Li Mazi's hand and handed it to him.

Taking a closer look at his hand, Emperor Rui An asked, "Miss Xiao San, this pendant is yours?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, this pendant is indeed a courtier's, but it has long been snatched away by Li San's couple."

"Oh? Snatch? Emperor Rui An seemed to suddenly become interested: "Why did they snatch it?" You're the master. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yiran suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty, there are some things that the courtiers want to rot in their stomachs for the rest of their lives, but since this incident happened today, Li San accused me of murder, then I have to say it." ”

She continued: "You asked me why Li San and his wife robbed the courtier's things, and the courtier's daughter didn't know. But in fact, not only did they rob the courtiers of more than this one thing, but almost all the things that the courtiers brought from the Hou Mansion were robbed and pawned by them. ”

Not only that, Li Mazi and his wife also beat and scolded their courtiers from time to time! During that time in the suburbs, the courtiers did not have a moment of idleness, they had to sweep the floor, wash the floor, wash and cook, and all the housework in the house was done by the courtiers alone. If they can't finish it, they won't be given food or sleep. ”

After speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and exposed her hand: "Your Majesty, you see, this is all left by them to beat the courtiers." ”

Although everyone felt that it was a little inappropriate for Xiao Yiran to lift her clothes in public, their eyes unconsciously looked at her arm.

Sure enough, I didn't know about it, and I was shocked when I saw it. The girl's arms were covered with long, dark brown scars, which did not seem to have been made all at once, but had accumulated over a long period of time.

Which of the people present who can attend the queen's birthday banquet is not a prominent family member, no matter how poor the family is, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and there is a large group of slaves, who will experience this kind of thing.

In the eyes of these nobles, their servants are all for them to call, and they are the only ones who beat them, so how can they let these lowly servants ride on their heads? It's still the kind of torture that goes to death.

This damaged the face of these nobles, and in an instant, everyone was actually the same enemy, and their eyes at Li Mazi were not good.

A middle-aged man with a stiff face stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

Xiao Yiran followed the voice and recognized that this was Situ Lei, the left minister of the Li State, and he was also the first batch of important ministers who rewarded officials after Emperor Rui'an ascended the throne. If there is any family in this Li country that can compete with the Zhenguo Mansion, it is undoubtedly Situ Mansion. Situ Mansion, like Zhenguo Gongfu, can be said to be the representative of the Li family.

Seeing that his right-hand man spoke, of course Emperor Rui'an wanted to give face: "It's okay to say it." ”

Situ Lei said: "Although the minister doesn't know if Miss Xiao San really killed this Li San's wife, but judging from what Li San and his wife did to Miss Xiao San, the minister thinks that this Li San's evil servant should be severely punished!" ”

"That's right! Such servants deserve to be put to death! "Someone next to him should respond. All of a sudden, everyone responded one after another.

Situ Lei continued: "In addition, the minister also wants to ask Marquis Xiao, this evil servant has abused Miss Gui for so many years, and you don't even know about it? ”

Xiao Zhiyuan's face had already changed when he heard this, and when he heard this, he immediately knelt down and said to Emperor Rui'an: "Your Majesty! The minister didn't know about it! He turned his head and glared at Li Mazi angrily: "You evil servant! How have we been treated poorly by the Marquis of Zhongyong for so many years? I trust you so much to leave it to you and your wife to take care of, but I don't know that you are so vicious and bullying! ”

Li Mazi was also so panicked that he didn't seem to have expected Xiao Yiran to shake everything out. After all, when he said this, Xiao Zhiyuan and Bai Huaping would also be criticized by others, just like now.
