In front of everyone, Master Duan took the trouble to state the case again, and every time he had to read it in the classroom, he was about to memorize it backwards.

After stating the case, Lord Duan shouted loudly: "Come on, bring the witness Xia Wenxuan to the court." ”

The two officials received the order and brought Xia Wenxuan up to the back hall.

When Xiangye saw his daughter Xia Wenxuan again, he was overjoyed at first, and muttered: "Xuan'er, you are fine." ”

Xia Wenxuan lowered her head and did not answer.

This voice was full of fatherly care, which made Xia Wenxuan's nose sour, and her eyes were a little moist, her father really loved her, why did she have to be the enemy of the person she loved? If Dad hadn't done that, he wouldn't have made her so miserable.

She raised her eyes and glanced at her father, and saw that he was haggard, and there were a few more handfuls of white hair on his head, which were shockingly white, and she felt sour in her heart.

Daddy is old. Just a few days ago, my father was still full of spirit, the commoners looked up to him, the courtiers scolded him, and the emperor relied on him. Now, as a suspect awaiting trial, he stood there with a lonely expression, like a lonely old man.

And the person who caused this situation was herself. For a moment, she felt a little choked.

Perhaps, in the eyes of some people, she is an unfilial daughter, and her six relatives do not recognize her, pushing her father into the dark abyss.

Perhaps, in the eyes of more people, she killed her relatives in righteousness, and she is a woman who distinguishes right from wrong and has a sense of justice.

Only she knows that she is not driven by her conscience, but because the person who was persecuted by her father was Chu Tiankuo. If the person framed by her father was not Chu Tiankuo, but someone else who had nothing to do with it, she would not necessarily stand up.

She did this only because she loved Chu Tiankuo and loved her wholeheartedly. However, since she had decided to testify for Chu Tiankuo, why did she ask Chu Tiankuo to spare her father? She was really contradictory, as Yanxiang said, she threatened him with conditions. She didn't want to threaten Chu Tiankuo with this. However, apart from begging Chu Tiankuo, she didn't know what else to do? It was the best she could come up with.

Xia Wenxuan felt that she had no position, and the two sides were not people. She felt that she had no face to face her father, no face to face Chu Tiankuo, and no face to face everyone. She stood in the public court, keeping her head down.

Seeing this, Xiangye's heart was half cold. His daughter was a witness against him. Do you really want father and daughter to turn against each other? As a last resort, he didn't want to do it, his daughter was his closest person in the world.

Duan Zisheng picked up the shocking wood, slapped it vigorously, and asked Xia Wenxuan in a loud voice: "Xia Wenxuan, you said in court yesterday that you can prove that the blood book is true, how can you prove it?" You said that your two fathers have known each other for a long time, what is the specific situation? Please answer truthfully. ”

Xiangye didn't know the bottom in his heart, and the question Duan Zisheng asked made him a little flustered. If his daughter Xia Wenxuan can really confirm that the blood book is true, there are conclusive evidence and physical evidence, which is extremely unfavorable to him.

Before Xia Wenxuan could speak, Xiangye shouted first: "Xuan'er, you have to think twice." ”

Hearing this, Xia Wenxuan hesitated, and finally said it bravely in front of the audience.

"Master Duan, my two fathers have known each other for a long time. Long before I recognized Grandpa Xiang, Daddy Xiang and Daddy Ji had conspired to kill Chu Tiankuo, the son of Huaifan. “

"Xuan'er, shut up!" Xiangye's face changed greatly, and he shouted loudly, interrupting Xia Wenxuan's words. He scolded Duan Zisheng: "Duan Zisheng, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour her......

"Silence!" Duan Zisheng was shocked, not angry: "Xia Yuanhai, you are a suspect, please do not interrupt the witness's speech." When the witness finishes speaking, the officer will ask you questions. If you disturb the order of the court again, this judge will not spare you. ”

"Duan Zisheng, you dare! The old man is the prime minister of the dynasty, you are just a little Dali Temple, what qualifications do you have to punish the old man? Xiang Ye originally looked haggard, but at the moment he was angry but he cheered up.

He can't fall, the law of the jungle is the way to survive, and he can't lose his momentum if he loses anything. Before he was convicted, he was not afraid of Duan Zisheng.

Yanxiang was very surprised that Xiangye was so calm, and when it came to Xiangye's courage and courage, he was not inferior to the senior brother. Well, a man who does big things. It's a pity that Xiangye's heart is not right, and he will harm others and himself. He is dying, and he is so ashamed to speak. I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin.

Duan Zisheng was so despised by Xiangye, and his attitude became tougher. He slapped the shocked wood vigorously and said coldly: "You see if I dare!" Although I am only a Dali Siqing, I am the executor of the royal law. In this Dali Temple court, if you break the law and discipline, the official has the right to punish you. His tone changed and he said solemnly: "Above the court, please call this official Duan, and don't call this official by his name again." ”

Xiang Ye was so angry that his face turned purple, a green tendon on his forehead rose out, and several tendons from the sun nest were connected to his face, all twitching there. He was extremely angry, but he didn't continue to raise the bar with Duan Zisheng. He is a smart person, of course he knows how to advance and retreat, and there is no benefit in being blunt with jokes at this time.

Seeing that Xiangye closed his mouth in amusement, Duan Zisheng looked at Xia Wenxuan and added: "Xia Wenxuan, you speak slowly, no one will bother you anymore." ”

Xia Wenxuan was in a complicated mood, lowered her head and continued: "A few months ago, Daddy Ji also asked me to assassinate Chu Tiankuo, the son of Huaifan. Later, I asked Daddy Ji, why did you hurt Prince Chu? Daddy Ji clearly told me that this was what Xiangye meant. After learning about it, I went to Xiangye in a rage and wanted to kill Xiangye. As a result, the man was not killed, but was caught. Daddy Ji was afraid that Xiangye would hurt me, so he told me my life experience. The two of them have really known each other for a long time, but it was only after I met my grandfather and father that they became acquainted. ”

Everyone in the hall can understand. She confirmed the point recorded in the blood book, the plan came from Xia Xiangye, and Ji Zheng became the executor. It was Xiangye and Ji Zheng who conspired to kill Chu Tiankuo.

Duan Zisheng asked: "Xia Wenxuan, you just said that you know the inside story of Xia He's death. What is the specific death of Xia He, you tell the truth. ”

"Yes, Master Duan." Xia Wenxuan's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the people in the hall to hear clearly.

"A few months ago, Grandpa Xiang wanted to put Gongzi Chu to death, so he discussed with Daddy Ji. Daddy Ji found his apprentice Lu Hao and asked Lu Hao to kill Xia He. Xiang's father and father then used Xia He's death to achieve the goal of framing Chu Gongzi for murder and treasure theft. ”

And the gold silk soft armor that was the evidence in this case did not fall into the hands of Lu Hao, let alone in the hands of Chu Gongzi. The golden silk soft armor was taken away by Daddy Ji. Because she loved me, she gave me the golden silk soft armor. I can prove that it was really my two fathers who conspired to kill Chu Gongzi. “

The onlookers could only see Xia Wenxuan's mouth moving again, but they couldn't hear what she was saying. Simply, they exchanged heads and whispered.

The rest of the hall listened to Xia Wenxuan with their ears pricked up. Although everyone has guessed the general situation, it is not as clear as Xia Wenxuan's words.

What is rare is that under the constraints of Duan Zisheng, Xiangye did not say anything to stop his daughter Xia Wenxuan, and let her continue. He was flustered, desperately admonishing himself to be calm and thinking of a way to deal with it.

After a pause, Xia Wenxuan continued: "Xia He is just a fake prime minister's daughter, she is flying and domineering, and there is no way to kill. Lu Hao killed her, the crime is not to death, but to do the right thing for heaven. It is indeed recorded in the blood book, and the blood book is sure to be true. ”

Lord Duan asked Xia Wenxuan's remarks: "Xia Wenxuan, how can you prove that Xia He is a fake prime minister's daughter?" And how do you prove that Xia He is a heinous person? ”

Xia Wenxuan finished speaking in one breath: "Daddy Ji personally told me when he was alive that Xia He is a fake, and I am the one born to Daddy Xiang." It is not difficult to prove that Xia He has done a lot of evil. As long as you have been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few years, you basically know about this matter. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the maid who served me also said this in front of me. The Xia He in their mouths is a wicked person who everyone is afraid of. If Lord Duan doesn't believe it, he can send Xiaocui to the court to testify. ”

"Someone, the witness Xiaocui."

Lord Duan gave an order, and the official brought a woman dressed as a maid from the back hall.

As soon as the woman walked up, her legs trembled. Before Lord Duan could speak, she realized that she knelt down and spoke: "Slave Xiaocui, I've seen my lord." ”

"Are you a maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Duan Zisheng asked concisely.

"Exactly. My lord, the slave maid used to serve Xia He. This maid named Xiaocui looked very timid, and her voice was full of trembling, but she spoke very directly. Of course, this was privately asked to her beforehand.

Xiangye was dumbfounded. This maid looks so cowardly on weekdays, she dares to testify in court.

Master Duan is talking about things: "Xiaocui, you have served Xia He, you must be familiar with Xia He as a person." You tell everyone, how is Xia He a person? ”

The maid Xiaocui trembled and replied: "Back to Lord Duan's words, Xia He is ruthless. She treated us subordinates not only scolding and beating, but often punching and kicking, which was very vicious. Often, someone offended her, and she ordered someone to be beaten to death. Not only that, but she did nothing outside and killed many innocent people. ”

Now, there are witness testimonies, as well as physical evidence, and the case has surfaced.

Duan Zisheng asked Xiang Ye at this time: "Xia Yuanhai, what is your objection to what Xia Wenxuan and Xiao Cui said that Xia He pretended to be the daughter of the Prime Minister and did a lot of evil?" ”

Xiangye looked up and laughed: "Lord Duan, do you believe this kind of groundless words?" Xia Wenxuan said that Xia He was fake, but Ji Zheng told her. Ji Zheng is dead, whatever you want. What Xiao Cui said is even more false. Xia He is so messy in the Prime Minister's Mansion, why didn't the old man find out? Xia He is doing evil outside, why didn't anyone come forward to sue her? These are nothing but slanderous words. There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add. ”

Yanxiang listened to Xiangye's words and couldn't help but want to refute. She smiled sarcastically: "Sister Xia understands the righteousness and is unwilling to help the abuse, so she bravely stands up to expose your crimes." If you are innocent, why does Sister Xia slander you? ”

Xia Wenxuan begged in a low voice: "Dad, you still confess your guilt, don't be obsessed anymore." Young Master Chu is magnanimous, you might as well beg him. ”

Xiangye was furious, he was brazen, and took a bite back: "Stop!" What the old man has not done, how can the old man confess his guilt? You wicked girl, for the sake of a man, treat your father like this. ”

He regretted it and said bitterly: "The old man is really unfortunate in his family, giving birth to such a wicked girl as you!" I knew that you were so rebellious, and the old man really shouldn't have recognized you. You love Chu Tiankuo with all your heart, and you don't hesitate to slander your two fathers. Hey, in the final analysis, it's the old man's sin, and you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as a father for 20 years to make you fall like this. “

As he spoke, he also vividly beat his heart, indicating that he was really sad. In this move, he is not pretending, but a real embodiment. There is nothing more heart-wrenching than a father and daughter turning against each other.

In order to survive, in order to protect himself, he had to make a choice, and he had to sacrifice his daughter.

As soon as he heard the incense, he became angry, and said loudly: "Xiangye, you are really hopeless." It's a shame that Sister Xia still pleaded with my senior brother......"

Xia Wenxuan's face changed greatly.

Before Yanxiang finished speaking, Chu Tiankuo stopped: "Yanxiang, shut up!" He didn't want the third person to know about Xia Wenxuan's plea with him. Presumably, Xia Wenxuan didn't want people to know about it.

Seeing Chu Tiankuo hurriedly interrupting the words of the cigarette, Xiangye laughed extremely happily: "What? Xia Wenxuan and Chu Tiankuo still colluded? ”

Seeing that Xiangye was dying, he could still laugh, and the cigarette was also convinced. She said in a tone of pity, "Xiangye, laugh." Wait a minute, you can't laugh if you want to. ”

Xiangye's smile disappeared in an instant.

"Silence!" Duan Zisheng saw that there was a lot of noise in the hall, and slapped the shocked wood hard.

The hall was instantly silent, and no one spoke again. Duan Zisheng said coldly: "Xia Yuanhai, so far, I can't allow you to quibble." Someone comes, and the witness comes to court. ”

After Lord Duan's words fell, the officials brought unknown witnesses, including squires, businessmen, and children of official families.

He regretted it and said bitterly: "The old man is really unfortunate in his family, giving birth to such a wicked girl as you!" I knew that you were so rebellious, and the old man really shouldn't have recognized you. You love Chu Tiankuo with all your heart, and you don't hesitate to slander your two fathers. Hey, in the final analysis, it's the old man's sin, and you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as a father for 20 years to make you fall like this. “

Xia Wenxuan's face changed greatly.

Xiangye's smile disappeared in an instant.
