Chapter 10: Questioning

Shang Huatong's soft voice came into everyone's ears, and they all looked at Shang Zhaoyi in unison, some of their eyes were full of contempt, and some were full of disdain.

Shang Zhaoyi still stood firm on her back and knelt there, her complexion still did not change, Li Shangshu next to her looked at her like this, a sense of respect was born, she could still insist on herself in the eyes of so many people, and there was no trace of fear on her face, it was difficult for many people to do it, but she did it, she deserved her respect.

"Miss Shang, I'm underestimating you." Li Shangshu hugged his daughter, looked at Shang Zhaoyi, and couldn't help but sigh.

Shang Zhaoyi turned his head, looked at Li Shangshu indifferently, and didn't speak, but the alienation in his eyes made Li Hengran feel Shang Zhaoyi's aura again, obviously a weak woman, but she took everything just right, such a person is definitely not a thing in the pool.

"Are you the second lady of the General's Mansion? You might as well tell me what you have to do, the emperor is also here, and he will never tolerate those who commit crimes! I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and after that, many people came out to respond, directly pushing this matter to a climax.

"But ......" Shang Huatong looked at everyone with an embarrassed face, and the messy makeup did not affect her softness at this moment, as well as the temptation to stop talking.

"Tong'er, if you have something, you can tell me, after all, this is also an ugly thing in our General's Mansion!" Shang Mingyuan looked at Shang Huatong with a righteous look, but he said extremely sarcastic words in his mouth.

After Shang Huatong hesitated for a while, he stood up, knelt next to Shang Zhaoyi, and looked at the emperor with a tangled expression: "The courtiers see the emperor." ”

"No need to be polite, I ask you, is what you just said down below true?" The emperor asked Shang Huatong in a solemn tone.

Shang Huatong hurriedly lowered his head and said firmly: "Back to the emperor, what the courtiers just said is true, my sister did beat the daughter of Li Shangshu's family, but she didn't beat it herself." ”

"Oh? Do you know what happened? The emperor's voice sounded with a hint of abuse, but his eyes always looked at Shang Zhaoyi, who had been kneeling on the ground very calmly, and his eyes were full of curiosity about this girl.

"Back to the emperor, the courtiers know." Shang Huatong lowered her head, so that people could not see her emotions, she slowly turned her head to look at Shang Zhaoyi who was kneeling next to her, with a fierce face, Shang Zhaoyi looked at Shang Huatong like this, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, not angry, not noisy, just with a hint of indifference in her eyes, it seems that in addition to having some happy looks in her eyes, the eyes of others are cold, indifferent, and alienated.

Shang Huatong looked at the look in her eyes, her brows furrowed slightly, but she still replied to the emperor and said: "Fang Cai, I went to the bamboo forest with my sister, I was left behind by my sister because my clothes were not very neat, my sister went to the bamboo forest alone, and after I tidied up my clothes, I saw ......"

Shang Huatong said that she wanted to speak and stopped, and a pair of red lips also made their movements, and her upper lip bit her lower lip, which made people feel that she couldn't speak.

Shang Zhaoyi looked at Shang Huatong next to her, and sighed helplessly, she had been waiting for her next step, but she was good enough to put on different postures in different time periods......

"I'll just ...... I'll just ......" Shang Huatong repeated again intermittently twice, then sighed, fell heavily to the ground, and shed tears for no reason.

"Second Miss, you should say it!" One of the people around began to coax, so everyone ignored the existence of the emperor again and whispered below.

"Shut up!" The emperor listened to the discussion getting louder and louder, his face turned dark, and the voice suddenly sounded, hitting everyone like a storm, and all the people closed their mouths for the first time, looked at the emperor with a displeased face, and knelt down one after another.

"Ask the emperor for forgiveness!" Everyone said in fear, for fear that if they were slow, they would miss the best time to beg for mercy.

"Get up, it's just that I don't want anyone to be here to make a fuss and a discussion! Merchant girl, if you want to say it, just say it, if you don't say it, go straight down, don't waste my time here for no reason, do you think my time is very free? The Emperor's voice sounded again, his tone stern and his eyes sharpened.

Shang Huatong, who was sitting on the ground crying, was covered for a while, and the tears in her eyes stopped falling, she raised her hand aggrievedly to wipe her tears, and then whispered: "Ask the emperor for forgiveness, the courtiers will say ......"

"I forgive you for your innocence!" The emperor waved his hand indifferently, waiting for Shang Huatong's next words, Shang Zhaoyi raised his head slightly, and saw the Nine Emperors with a pair of good-looking eyes, looking at him unruly, Shang Zhaoyi lowered his head silently again.

Ye Gongming looked at Shang Zhaoyi's indifferent expression, a smile appeared in his expression, he was wondering, if he provoked this woman, would she still have this indifferent and distant look.

"Courtier...... I saw my sister give money to a guard, and told the guard to beat Miss Li. Shang Huatong's words awakened everyone's floating thoughts, and everyone looked at Shang Zhaoyi with a clear face.

"Your Majesty, this daughter has been stubborn since she was a child, and she likes to play pranks, and I ask the emperor to forgive me!" As soon as Shang Mingyuan finished speaking, he knelt down directly, and explained the situation to the emperor with sincere fear.

Shang Zhaoyi looked at Shang Mingyuan, who was kneeling next to Shang Huatong, and smiled sarcastically, this is his father, who invisibly pushed himself to the road of death again.

"Dare to ask my sister, how much silver did I give to that guard? Where is the guard now? Shang Zhaoyi looked at Shang Huatong, her eyes were full of doubts, and a smile flashed at the corner of the emperor's mouth, this is really a strange woman, diverting the attention of others, so that others can't pay attention to her father's kneeling, and at the same time, she also diverts her own attention, so that her father keeps kneeling, which can be regarded as a small lesson to Shang Mingyuan.

After the emperor understood, he seemed to cooperate with Shang Zhaoyi, directly ignored Shang Mingyuan, looked at Shang Huatong, and said in a stern tone: "You say so, is there any evidence?!" ”

Shang Huatong was slightly stunned, and then said: "The courtiers have evidence!" Shang Huatong looked at Shang Zhaoyi, and a smile gradually came to his heart, as if his plan was about to succeed, announcing his victory.

"If there is evidence, take it out." The emperor looked at Shang Huatong and said in a commanding tone.

Shang Huatong didn't bother anymore, and directly let his subordinates escort a man in a black night suit, Shang Huatong walked in front of him to uncover the mask, knelt down again, looked at the emperor, and said in a slightly disappointed tone: "Back to the emperor, this is the courtier's daughter met outside the bamboo forest, and I also saw him beat Miss Li with my own eyes, thanks to the guards who followed me, I was able to subdue this bold man!" ”

Shang Zhaoyi's tone was very righteous and Lingran, which made everyone look at Shang Huatong with admiration.

"Sister, may I ask you a few questions?" Shang Zhaoyi couldn't help laughing, this plan was so hurried, and there were so many loopholes in it, she was even proud.

"Yes, but sister, don't admit it!" Shang Huatong knelt on the ground and looked at Shang Zhaoyi, and when she saw the killing intent in Shang Zhaoyi's eyes, she quickly withdrew her eyes.

"Don't worry, if I really did it, I will personally confess my guilt to the emperor." Shang Zhaoyi looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"First, you said that I instructed the guards to use the silver, and you also said that you saw it with your own eyes, but I didn't bring a purse with me when I went out today, and I didn't have any silver on me, so how can I bribe the guards? Second, do you still remember what Li Shangshu's daughter said just now? Li Shangshu's daughter pointed at her who I beaten, and even ...... When she saw me for the first time, she shrank into Li Shangshu's arms in fear, why can't she recognize the guards I commanded now? As soon as Shang Zhaoyi's words landed, everyone put the same eyes on Shang Huatong again.

Shang Huatong's face turned pale and blue, she couldn't say anything for a while, just looked at Shang Zhaoyi, who was standing on her knees, still indifferent, and hatred appeared in her eyes.

"Then you might as well let Miss Li approach and recognize this guard again, maybe the guard was wearing a mask when he committed the murder, Miss Li was frightened by you just now, and she couldn't recognize it." Shang Huatong looked at the emperor's gradually gloomy face and hurriedly said.

But as soon as Shang Huatong's words came out, everyone found a suspicious point.

"Sister, don't you think it's inconsistent? Miss Li pointed out that I beat her, and the meaning of her words was that she saw me at that time, and I personally beat her, but now sister, you say that I instructed the guards to beat Miss Li, then I don't have to come forward, but why, Miss Li was so afraid when she saw me for the first time? Is it because I'm ugly? Shang Zhaoyi's words expressed the doubts in people's hearts.

Shang Zhaoyi looked at Shang Huatong with disdain, she didn't understand Shang Huatong's simple design, why could she stay in this general's mansion that eats people and doesn't spit out bones for so long?
