Chapter Fifty-Eight: Stealing in Court Trial
After everyone left, he was the only one in the room. Lee Jung-hyuk was so angry that he grabbed the placket of his shirt and was furious.
"Why? She didn't provoke you, why would you kill her! ”
Li Quan asked him to grab him like this, his eyes slanted at him, and he sneered.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really cares about you as a friend? I don't hesitate to treat your royal brother and me so badly..."
"Treat you badly?"
Li Zhenghyuk tightened his shirt again: "Then you should tell the palace, your floating jade beads are so good, why did you lose them!"
Li Quan tore his hand away with disdain: "The floating jade bead of this prince was lost when he went out to play, and"
He approached him and said word by word, "I found it in the house of that man named Nan or something." I heard that this person is a gambler, and the kid named Xiao Wu in your mouth has been stealing on the street! ”
“......”
"I said, sixth brother, don't be stupid and make friends with such people. Or maybe you like the floating jade beads of the imperial brother..."
He paused here deliberately, and there was a clear insinuation in his words...
"You talk nonsense! Xiao Wu, she can't steal your floating jade beads, she didn't want it last time you rewarded her, how could it be"
"Whether she stole or didn't steal, people in the official office judged, why did the sixth brother be so anxious to exonerate her? Could it be that this matter is really related to you? ”
"......" Lee Jung-hyuk looked at him with a frown.
"You don't have to look at me like that, don't you know that she and her father have been short of money? A gambler, and a gambler's daughter, what kind of goods, I believe I don't need to talk about it with the royal brother, right? ”
"She didn't, she won't!" Li Zhenghyuk said firmly: "Yes, her father forced her to steal money before, but after she went to the theater to perform, she never stole other people's property, and this palace can testify to her!"
"Huh!"
Li Quan smiled so recklessly: "A prince of the capital is going to go to court to testify to a habitual thief, you don't want to lose face, this prince still wants it!"
“... Do you think that if this is the case, the palace will give in? What is face, can it be bigger than human life?! ”
Lee Jung-hyuk didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and had already decided to go to the official office to save people.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so courageous!"
Li Quan bluntly sarcastically said: "Do you believe it or not, if you go today, she will die faster?"
Lee Jung-hyuk stopped, turned around, and looked at him with scarlet eyes: "What do you mean by this?!"
Li Quan walked over to him and shrugged indifferently: "It's not interesting, that is, you can go to the official office to distinguish for her." At that time, don't blame the imperial brother for not reminding you, this kind of habitual offender, once it sticks to you, will definitely drag you into the water. ”
"She won't!"
"What's not going to be? How can a villain like this climb up to your Royal Highness the Prince? Isn't what they're best at pretending to curry favor with you and get benefits from you? ”
"She didn't! Don't try to slander her! ”
"It's useless for me to slander her, the point is that she did that! If you don't believe me, go with me to the court to hear the trial and see how she bites you. ”
Lee Jung-hyuk looked at him deeply, he couldn't understand what Lee Kwon wanted to do at the moment!
And he didn't know that this was Li Quan's plan, a trap to lure the enemy deep, waiting for him to jump...
The two soon came to the back hall of the official office, and on the hall separated by a wall in front of them, the county magistrate was trying the theft of the royal property.
There were four people kneeling in the hall, except for Nan Xiaowu, another man and a woman plus a fat little boy.
Lee Jung-hyuk only saw her parents and brother today, but it formed a strong contrast!
He still remembered that when he first saw her, she was dressed in tattered clothes, and she was the most inconspicuous of the children who bullied her.
But what she said at a young age was not only more reasonable than ordinary adults, but her eyes as bright as the stars and the moon had a different kind of light, shining brightly!
This was his first impression of her, but when he saw her parents today, he couldn't understand why her parents treated her like this?
Even if she earns money in the theater troupe now and changes some outfits, she still doesn't dress as well as her parents and brother.
Look at their complexions, they are all radiant, and her brother, how fat he has eaten!
Lee Jung-hyuk punched the wall, he had never seen such a parent! Is this kind of person still worthy of being her relative?
The crowd in front of the hall didn't know that someone in the back hall was paying attention to their whole process. The county magistrate was interrogating Nan Xiaowu sternly.
"Nan Xiaowu, your parents have already confessed, and you still don't honestly explain how you stole the floating jade beads of the eldest prince?"
Nan Xiaowu had been looking at Nan Guangquan and Wang Meifeng blankly for a long time, she really didn't know why she stole the floating jade beads of that big prince?
"Little thing, don't you tell us honestly, do you want us to eat the board? That thing was stolen for me last time you wanted to redeem the hairpin, wasn't it? ”
Nan Guangquan guided her thoughts on the side, trying to make her nod her head.
Wang Meifeng on the side was also nodding to her: "Yes, you just admit it, so that we will all be fine!"
"Daddy, what do you say? Xiao Wu doesn't understand..."
Nan Guangquan saw that Nan Xiaowu was so oily and salty, and immediately faced the county yada.
"My lord, it's this little thing who steals things by himself, and it has nothing to do with us! Your Excellency, you should investigate and ask carefully if this little thing was instructed by someone, but we didn't dare to let her steal such a valuable object! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Meifeng also echoed: "This little thing has been away from home all day recently, and I don't know if I have met someone outside!" Stealing the prince's belongings gave the women 10,000 guts, and the women didn't dare! ”
"Dad, mother, what are you talking about?" Nan Xiaowu couldn't understand a word of what they said...
"Your Excellency..."
Nan Qiang also spoke, and as soon as he spoke, he pointed at Nan Xiaowu, saying every word with disgust.
"It's not the first time she's stolen such a valuable object, she stole a colored bead last time and came back, and the colored bead is real, hmm..."
Wang Meifeng covered his mouth and didn't let him continue, but was interrupted by the sound of the county government knocking on the board!
"Presumptuous, above the court, how can you be allowed to make a mistake, is this contempt for the court and wants to be punished?"
Wang Meifeng let go of Nan Qiang and knelt well, and didn't dare to move anymore: "I'm sorry, my lord, the women don't dare!"
The county magistrate looked at Nan Qiang: "What did he mean by what he just said?" What colored beads? ”
Wang Meifeng was anxious, and it wasn't until the county magistrate knocked on the board again that Nan Qiang opened her mouth on her behalf.
"My lord, that's actually the case."
Nan Qiang told him how to get the colored beads from beginning to end.
He also deliberately emphasized the authenticity of the colored beads, saying that the colored beads were real, and there were few in the entire capital and capital.
After listening to Nan Qiang's words, the county magistrate looked at Nan Xiaowu on the side: "What he said just now is true?"
"......" Nan Xiaowu looked at Nan Qiang, only to see him make a grimace at her, and then turned his head away in disgust and didn't look at her...
"Bold! What do you have to say? ”
"My lord, why don't you just let the women talk about it?"
"Did the officer ask you? Palm! ”
"Smack!"
Wang Meifeng was slapped on the face by a servant. She covered her face and didn't dare to move again.
"Mother!"
Nan Xiaowu called her anxiously, but Wang Meifeng, like Nan Qiang, moved her body to the side and stopped looking at her.
"Why did you hit my mother?" Nan Xiaowu looked at the people in the hall.
The county magistrate was questioned by a little hairy child, and instantly exploded: "Hey, dare to make a big fuss in the court, come on, reward her with five boards first!"
As soon as the words of the county magistrate fell, someone was going to take Nan Xiaowu to play the board.
When the people in the back hall saw this, Lee Jung-hyuk was about to come out to stop him, but he was stopped by Lee Kwon first.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you go out at this time, it will increase her punishment!"
Lee Jung-hyuk clenched his fists, and before he could say anything, the fight outside was already over and the trial was continuing.
Although five boards are not much, they can already be regarded as torture for a child!
Nan Xiaowu was dragged and thrown in, and the county magistrate stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point.
"Nan Xiaowu, this official asked you if you pleaded guilty? According to your father's confession, you were instructed to steal the eldest prince's belongings. Who is the person who instructed you, and why don't you tell you honestly? ”
Nan Xiaowu's thin little body moved on the ground, but his voice was unusually firm.
"I didn't steal the floating jade beads of the Great Prince, I really didn't!"
"None? There are all human and material evidence, do you still have to quibble? ”
"I didn't..."
Nan Xiaowu looked at the three people who were watching her coldly, and her eyes were red: "Daddy, Xiao Wu doesn't, Xiao Wu really doesn't..."
Nan Guangquan ignored her call, and said to the county magistrate in a righteous manner.
"My lord, there is no need to interrogate, our family of three can testify that the floating jade bead of the eldest prince was stolen by her!"
"Yes, my lord, this matter has nothing to do with us! Who instructed her, this needs to be investigated by adults! ”
After Wang Meifeng also echoed a sentence, she didn't say anything else, covered her face and knelt to the side, not daring to look at Nan Xiaowu's eyes...
Nan Xiaowu can't tell her mood at the moment, why is she still so uncomfortable even though she is used to being abandoned?
Why would they never defend her, even once!
If you don't defend her, forget it, why do you have to pull her out to confess her guilt now?
Was she really, so tired of them, so unworthy to be their child?
