Gu Shenwei put the roll of paper in his arms and said, "That's right, this is what I want." ”

Then he stared at the princess as if she were a prisoner who was pretending to escape punishment, and the princess looked back at him without compromise.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and the princess's anger gradually faded, and she began to consider the most practical question, "What do you need me to do?"

"You're willing to do anything?"

"Since I am your queen. ”

Gu Shen nodded with satisfaction, that's right, this is indeed the queen he needs, "Come on, come with me." ”

The dragon king sent out the invitation pleasantly, much to the surprise of the princess, she remembered that even in the most intimate moments between the two, he had not spoken in such a tone, and she wanted to ask what to do, but the words came to her lips and swallowed back, and she got up obediently, wiped away her tears, and simply cleaned up, ready to appear with the dragon king.

Gu Shenwei used the palace chamber as a courtroom, sitting side by side with the princess at one end of the table, on each side sat more than a dozen ministers and important generals of the Shi Kingdom, and the table and walls were full of candles, illuminating the whole room as bright as day.

The doors were wide open, and for the first time, the people were allowed to stand outside and listen.

The spectators who rushed to hear the news blocked the streets from the entrance of the council hall to the gate of the palace, and every move inside would spread quickly.

The Dragon King personally tried the case, it was still a rare night trial, and he himself was the biggest suspect in this case, all the factors added together, causing a huge sensation, the Dragon King had not yet opened his mouth to say a word, and some people had already changed their attitude and began to think that the murderer was someone else.

"Princess, princess came out with the dragon king. The news was the first to arouse the excitement of the audience, and the people who had the good fortune to stand at the door looked intently at the princess, hoping to see clues on her face, and everyone wondered which side she would be on between her brother and her husband.

In the bright room, only the dragon king and the princess had the least candles in front of them, and the people outside couldn't see their faces clearly.

The tall and majestic Long Chuanyun spoke for him as the herald of the Dragon King, "Everyone knows that last night, there was a murder case in the palace, and the methods were cruel, and people and gods were angry......

"People and gods are outraged!" echoed the shouts of the crowd outside the hall, with a sense of ridicule, which attracted an uproar.

Long Chuanyun ignored it and continued, "The Dragon King thinks that it is necessary to find out the truth immediately and give an explanation to the people of the city. ”

"Truth!" repeated more voices in the audience, believing that the murderer was the Dragon King, and that all of this was nothing more than acting.

The princess moved her body slightly, and when she saw that the dragon king was still silent, she slowly regained her composure, thinking that no matter what, the man next to her was more like the king of a country than her brother, but she didn't know what role she was going to play in this scene, which made her still feel a little worried in her heart.

The first witness to be called into the chamber was a pregnant woman-in-law, who lived in an outhouse and was an experienced midwife.

She was really frightened, and at the end of the day, countless people had interrogated her, and she repeated the same statement many times, and she had already learned it by heart, knelt on the ground, and said it quickly without waiting for anyone to ask.

"It was about three watches, I heard the inner room Yahuan screaming loudly, and thought it was a mother with abdominal pain, adults all know that the mother's health is not very good, and she has to hide, can't go out of the house, and the food is not good......"

The mother-in-law began to complain about trivial matters, and a minister frowned, turned his head to look at the Dragon King, and coughed, "Mother-in-law, don't say those useless words, you heard the scream, what did you see when you entered the back room?"

The mother-in-law thought blankly for a while, "Yes, yes, in the back room, I saw Yahuan sitting on the bed, screaming hard, and there was blood on her body and hands." ”

"What about pregnant women?" asked Long Chuanyun.

"Pregnant women...... Dead, my lord, my stomach was dissected, my lord, it was all blood, my lord, I have never seen so much blood in my life, it flowed down like a small river, my lord, Yahuan sat in the river of blood. ”

The terrifying scene described by the mother-in-law made the hearts of everyone inside and outside the hall tremble, the candlelight flickered, and no one spoke for a long time.

The rumors of caesarean section were true, and the hearts of the people were filled with anger, and a little fire could set them on fire.

"The pregnant woman's belly was dissected, why didn't she scream?" Long Chuanyun was the first to speak, and his face was a little pale after killing countless people on the battlefield.

"My lord, before I was dissected, the pregnant woman was already dead, my lord, there was a hole in my throat, my lord, but it didn't bleed much, my lord. ”

The mother-in-law is an adult, but no one cares about her ridiculousness, there are many legends about the dragon king, one of which is that the dragon king likes to stab the throat with a knife.

The military generals on both sides of the table forced themselves to look at the mother-in-law kneeling on the ground, and Xu didn't dare to move his gaze slightly to the side of the Dragon King.

The people outside the door were not so reserved, they were all staring at the dragon king inside, if it weren't for the guards, the people at the front would probably rush in.

The princess glanced at the dragon king again, amazed at his composure, and wondered for the first time, could it really not be him who was the murderer?

Long Chuanyun asked a few more questions, and the mother-in-law answered them all truthfully, and every description of the tragic death of the pregnant woman aroused a layer of anger among the crowd of onlookers outside the hall.

Long Chuanyun felt that the situation was getting out of control, stopped the interrogation, ordered the mother-in-law to stand aside, and then summoned Yahuan, who was personally serving the pregnant woman.

The mother-in-law was just frightened, but Yahuan was a little delirious, her whole body was trembling, and she often ignored Long Chuanyun's questions, and once she opened her mouth to answer, she always shouted "blood and blood ......" first, and then confessed without saying anything.

Yahuan has been sleeping next to the pregnant woman, but she is not aware of the killing process, she felt the dampness of her legs in her sleep, reached out and touched it, only to wake up, except for the blood on her hands and eyes, she has little impression of other scenes.

The most cruel people would also feel that interrogating this frightened maid ring was a cruel torture, so Long Chuyun quickly stopped and asked her to stand on the side.

The third witness was Ju Chi, the immortal guard, whose wound was located on his left shoulder, not far from his throat, and he was supported by two guards, and with permission, he sat on a chair, and when he spoke, he was weak and deliberately avoided the dragon king's gaze.

He recounted the scene of last night, the thick night, the silent black-clad assassin, the lightning fast knife, he did not see the tragic situation of the pregnant woman, there was not much to say, but he kept denouncing himself for dereliction of duty and failing to save the life of the pregnant woman.

There was a key confession that he never said.

Long Chuanyun glanced at the Dragon King and asked, "What kind of weapon did the assassin use?"

The Dragon King's people dared to ask this question, everyone was surprised, Ju Chi didn't speak loudly, the crowd outside the hall involuntarily surged forward, and more than a dozen guards formed a wall, struggling to block it.

"Narrow knives. Juchi hesitated for a moment, then replied softly, his head lower.

"What kind of narrow knife?"

"That's it...... The same kind as the knife in Jinpeng Castle. ”

"Is this the only weapon for murderers?"

"No, I see...... I saw him on his waist—" Juchi looked up, his gaze swept over the dragon king's face, "and a sword. ”

The crowd stirred, and the sound of discussion was like a sudden rise of strong winds, indicating that a rainstorm was coming.

Long Chuyun didn't get much instruction from the Dragon King, and he had nothing to say when he asked this, and just when he felt embarrassed, the Dragon King stood up.

The storm that was brewing in the crowd immediately subsided, and the guards guarding the door, feeling a little less stressed, were all relieved.

What else did the Dragon King have to say? Did he think that he could force everyone present to change their attitude with his sword? This was the idea of the vast majority of people, and only a few people were worried about the Dragon King, and felt that it was really a mistake for him to choose to try the case in public so urgently.

Gu Shenwei knows what he's doing.

With the Dragons unsecured foothold in the Sea of Joy and the Great War imminent, the Dragonlord has little time to win the hearts and minds of the people, and this murder provides an opportunity for him to gain more support in dramatic fashion.

From the moment he entered the Great Snow Mountain and won the title of Dragon King, he understood that drama can produce faster and better results than step-by-step measures, and it may not solve the fundamental problem, but it is the best way to calm the current crisis.

Gu Shenwei walked around the table and walked towards Ju Chi step by step, but when he arrived in front of him, he didn't ask him a question, but turned to the mother-in-law who was standing on the side, "You saw the deceased?"

The mother-in-law didn't expect the dragon king to speak to herself, so she trembled in fright, shrunk back and said, "Yes." ”

"And then, what did you do when you saw the dead?"

"I ...... I ran out to call someone, and when I saw the guards lying in the courtyard, I ran down the alley, calling people everywhere, and then ...... Here they are. ”

"You didn't go to help Yahuan?"

"No, no, I was so scared, you don't know, those bloody ......"

"I know. Gu Shenwei interrupted her, "So you ran all the way with the lamp and candle?"

"There are no candles, and I get out of bed as soon as I hear the screams in the back room, so how can I light the lamp?"

"But you see a bed of blood, and you see a fatal knife wound to a pregnant woman's throat. ”

The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "I saw it later, and when I heard the shouting, many people came, and they lit the lamp, and I saw it clearly." ”

Gu Shenwei nodded, as if he had nothing to ask, and suddenly changed the topic, "What is the name of the pregnant woman?"

"Begonias. ”

"Identity. ”

"The maid of the palace. ”

"Whose child is she carrying?"

The questions asked by the Dragon King became more and more unfavorable to himself, which made many people puzzled, and the mother-in-law was the same, and hesitated for a long time before answering, "It's Your Majesty's." ”

"Which Your Majesty?"

"King of Stone Country. ”

The rumors were confirmed one by one, and there was another commotion in the crowd outside the hall, and the guards guarding the gate were waiting for them, but they felt that there were too few people, and they might not be able to stop the angry crowd later.

Gu Shenwei was silent for a while and asked, "Did you just know about these things, or did you always know about them?"

"Always known. The mother-in-law whispered, as if she was afraid that her words would offend the Dragon King, "His Majesty the Stone King hid the begonia, and I knew that the child was his." ”

"So, you knew that the palace maid you served was pregnant with King Shi's child, but after you heard the screams, you didn't light the lamp to check clearly, and you didn't immediately start to save people, but ran out to call people, why?"

Gu Shenwei questioned his mother-in-law, but his back was to her, and his eyes stayed on Ju Chi.

"I, I'm ......" the mother-in-law stammered.

The focus of the minister and the crowd suddenly changed from the dragon king to the mother-in-law, waiting for her to make a reasonable explanation.

The princess felt a sense of pride, never expecting that she would hear the dragon king's call at this time.

"Queen, it's time to tell the truth. ”
