Witnesses! Xu Nian didn't answer Bai Lingling's words, and looked at the door on the left side of the public hall.

Xiao Qiongzhi didn't know that there were other witnesses, and hurriedly followed Xu Nian's gaze curiously.

At this time, when Xu Nian was in Prince Zhao and asked him to open a court to try the case, among the three groups of guards who first whispered and ordered him to leave, there was a group of guards, escorting a short woman, who appeared at the door on the left side of the court.

She was wearing a silk robe, although her hair was scattered and her head was lowered, and she couldn't see what she looked like, but from the perspective of her figure, it made people feel quite familiar.

"Cousin, why are you here?" Bai Lingling was also looking at this woman, her expression was a little panicked.

"I, I went back to the inn to look for it, and I happened to meet the poor master of the county government, and they arrested him." The short woman immediately raised a face that looked very similar to Bai Lingling, and replied with a dejected expression.

It turned out to be Wang Chunhua!

Xiao Qiongzhi immediately understood why Bai Lingling was able to know the reason why he and Zheng Bang fought the wolf yesterday.

"Cousin, didn't I tell you earlier, you want to go back to the countryside as soon as possible, why do you want to go to the inn to find me?" Bai Lingling asked again in a deep voice at this time.

Wang Chunhua replied: "I also wanted to go back to the countryside as soon as possible, but when I walked to the city gate, I suddenly remembered that when I came over at noon yesterday, he told me that he would go back to the countryside tomorrow morning, so I planned to come back to find it, so that I could go with me tomorrow and save some travel expenses." ”

"Then what did you say to the errand just now?" Bai Lingling then asked.

"Someone came, Bai Lingling, as a suspect, flouted the law and discipline, asked for witnesses to confess in public, scolded ten times with a cane, and slapped his mouth ten times, to set an example!" Xu Nian couldn't listen to it anymore at this time, and without waiting for Wang Chunhua to answer, he quickly ordered loudly.

"Yes." Immediately, there were two guards to arrest Bai Lingling.

Bai Lingling was taken aback, and hurriedly struggled desperately, shouting at Xu Nian: "Lord Xu, I don't accept it!" Just now, everyone can ask each other, why is it my turn now, and suddenly can't? ”

"Bai Lingling, before, Lord Xu conducted an investigation to understand the ins and outs of the case, and according to the rules, no matter the plaintiff, the defendant, or the witness, they can ask each other about the situation."

"Now, Lord Xu is just like this individual suspected crime, and he will be interrogated in detail."

"That is to say, from now on, without the instructions of Lord Xu, you can no longer arbitrarily mention or ask the plaintiff, the defendant, and the witnesses about the circumstances related to the case." Zheng Yuan, who was beside Xu Nian, glanced at her lightly and explained in a gentle tone.

"But I don't understand that—"

"Smack! Syllable! Smack......"

Before Bai Lingling finished speaking, the two guards who walked up to her and were in charge of executing her had already slapped her in turn, one left and one right.

"Ahh Yes! Ah......h

Wang Chunhua suddenly cringed a little and shrunk her neck.

After the ten palms were completed, the two guards began to give Bai Lingling a cane punishment again.

It's more painful than the palm of your mouth.

When Bai Lingling went down with the first three canes, he could still scream in pain, and when he reached the last three canes, he was basically in a semi-stunned state, and he only had the strength to hum in a low voice.

Wang Chunhua was even more scared.

She looked at Xiao Qiongzhi, pointed to the two guards who were arresting her on the left and right, and said earnestly: "Zhi'er, when they saw me going to the inn and looking for my cousin, they thought that I and my cousin were in a group, and they had to arrest me." ”

"Help me quickly, plead with them, tell them how good the relationship between my family is, how much I usually like it, and let them know that it is impossible for me to harm my cousin!"

"Then tell me first, what is Bai Lingling planning to do to me?" Xiao Qiongzhi glanced at her lightly and asked quietly.

This woman used to be just shameless and open-mouthed.

Now, not only is she like this, but also with an insidious and vicious woman like Bai Lingling, Liu Wuxiu is about to die, how can she tolerate her and intercede for her?

Think beautifully!

"I don't know, she never told me, it's critical." Wang Chunhua shook her head vigorously.

"So, who told Bai Lingling about me and my uncle coming to the county today to sell wolf meat?" Xiao Qiongzhi raised her eyebrows and asked.

"That's what I guessed, but I'm not to blame. I just beat up a pack of wolves with my uncle, but I didn't get a bite of meat, and told my father, my mother, my sister-in-law, and them. ”

"My cousin, who happened to be there, asked me if I had beaten so many wolves with my uncle, and where I wanted to sell them."

"I remembered that the last time I hit tigers and wild boars, I pulled them to the county to sell, so I said, I should pull them to the county to sell, there are too few rich people in the township, and I can't sell so many wolves." Wang Chunhua looked innocent.

Xiao Qiongzhi was accustomed to her Qingqi's brain circuit, didn't bother to refute her, and asked again: "Why did you come to the county with Bai Lingling?" ”

"My cousin is very rich, she came to my mother's house the day before yesterday, bought a lot of delicious food for my father, and gave my four sisters-in-law and brother-in-law, and each of them gave a pair of silver bracelets."

"When I heard about it later, I told her that my family was sick and rich, and I asked her to borrow money."

She was fine, took out a silver ticket of fifty taels of silver, lent it to me, and said that the medicine in the township was not as good as the county, and she happened to come to the county for a trip, and she could accompany me to buy medicine in the county by the way, and send it to my family to have money for treatment. I came with her. ”

Wang Chunhua said, took out a piece of paper from her arms, and handed it to Xiao Qiongzhi: "Look, this is the paper that the county post station gave me when I sent the medicine last afternoon, and it has a big red mark on it." ”

Xiao Qiongzhi took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and found that this piece of paper was the official receipt issued to Wang Chunhua by the county post station after Wang Chunhua sent something.

The date of payment is exactly the beginning of yesterday afternoon, and the time is also the right number.

She thought for a while and continued to ask Wang Chunhua: "I really don't know anything about Bai Lingling, Zhu Yu of Chu Mansion and Zhu County Lieutenant of the county government who conspired to kill me and my uncle together?" ”

Wang Chunhua shook her head without hesitation: "I only knew when my poor master caught me and told me about it, if I had known it a long time ago, I would definitely not agree with my cousin doing this!" ”

"Think about it, my uncle is a big hero, his kung fu is so high, and he is so smart, together they can kill big tigers, wild boars and a large group of wolves, without the help of thousands of children and eight hundred people, who can be our opponent?"

"She only looked for Zhu Yu and Zhu County Lieutenant, it was useless, and she posted money in vain."

That's just as well.

Although Wang Chunhua's brain circuit is clear, in this matter, she is actually more enlightened than Bai Lingling.

Xiao Qiongzhi reluctantly believed her words and didn't ask any more questions.

Wang Chunhua immediately got up, and turned her head to the two guards who grabbed her on the left and right and said, "Poor master, have you seen it?" Zhi'er, she didn't ask me again! She must have believed me! My cousin's attempt to harm her really has nothing to do with me. You can let me go now, right? ”

"No, Lord Xu hasn't settled the case yet, so we can't let it go." One of the guards said very seriously.

"Zhi'er, look, it's obviously a case, but they don't give face!" Wang Chunhua was anxious and immediately complained to Xiao Qiongzhi.
