Chapter 196: Saving His Life in the Court
The remnants of the Song Mansion who had absconded were brought back to Kaiyuan City, and at the same time, the news that Himeno and the woman in the blue dress had successfully escaped, and the news soon reached Xie An's ears. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Disappointment was inevitable, after all, the faint clues that he had finally found were broken like this, but he also knew that the wood was already in the boat, and he was not too affected by this.
The Kaiyuan City Lord attached great importance to Xie An's attack, and actually set up a trial court in Kaiyuan Castle to personally interrogate the participants in this matter, and Xie An was also invited to be a guest of honor to observe the trial.
The presiding judge and the observers sat on the high seats, and the interrogators were escorted to the lowest seat in the middle, and they were invisibly under tremendous pressure.
Only the ladies and ladies of the Song Mansion and the housekeepers stood on the trial seat, while people like Xuanyuan Ba and Zhao Yuanang did not have to go down to the trial seat as witnesses, but also sat on the high seats around them.
Xie Anzhong has always believed that Xuanyuan Ba is more likely to collude with outsiders to attack him than Song Jingyun, but in this courtroom, everything depends on evidence, then Xuanyuan Ba can find human and physical evidence in his favor, although Xie An is the victim, but it cannot be concluded that Xuanyuan Ba is the mastermind behind the scenes just by conjecture.
After coldly sweeping the complacent Xuanyuan Ba opposite, Xie An's eyes fell on the mother and daughter of the Song Mansion who were being judged.
Song Jingyun is dead, the mother and daughter are helpless, and they have to be accused of being sinners, trembling under the pressure of this court, which makes Xie Anxin feel compassion.
"Silence! Welcome to the city lord!" a Kaiyuan guard announced in a loud voice, and the inquisition, which was still whispering, suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to the highest seat in the front of the court.
On the high throne, there was a distortion of space, and a tall man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes appeared in front of everyone, not angry and arrogant, and his momentum was extraordinary.
Xie An looked at this person, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, he was worthy of being the city lord of Kaiyuan City, so strong!
"I've seen the city lord!" Everyone who was on the judgment table, including the people of the Song Mansion on the judgment seat, bowed respectfully to this man when he appeared, and greeted him in unison.
Although this greeting was addressed to the Kaiyuan City Lord, a large part of it was because the Kaiyuan City Lord was the spokesperson of the Moth Emperor, and the admiration for the Moth Emperor in the hearts of the Kaiyuan people was beyond words.
"Excuse me. "The people who can be invited to this court are not ordinary people, and the Kaiyuan City Lord didn't put on too much of a show, and after saying a word to everyone, he sat down on the throne.
Now that the Kaiyuan City Lord has taken his seat, everyone has also straightened up, those who should sit down, and those who should stand.
The Kaiyuan City Lord's gaze swept around the field, and fell on Xie An's body very accurately: "You are Xie An?"
Xie An got up and responded: "Senior Xie An, I have seen the city lord. ”
"No need to be polite, it's still a dereliction of duty on the part of me, the city lord, to let such a bad thing happen in the city, I'm really sorry. The city lord said it very sincerely, but Xie An didn't dare to hold it up.
"The city lord is serious, this matter is going to happen, no matter who can avoid it, how can it be said that it is your dereliction of duty?"
"Okay! Sure enough, he is a hero who is a young man, and he has such a mind at a young age, and the future is promising!" the Kaiyuan City Lord praised, his voice crisp.
Xie An was as respectful as ever: "City Lord Miao praised!"
"Don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation of this matter today. ”
"That junior has thanked the city lord. ”
This is just a small episode of the trial, and the next thing is the point.
Everyone was silent, and the Kaiyuan City Lord spoke, and his voice was majestic: "The remnants of the Song Mansion, are you guilty?"
"City Lord, we have been wronged!"
"Oh, where is the injustice?" asked the Kaiyuan City Lord lightly.
"My lord definitely didn't collude with outsiders, but these two people, at that time, the lord was held hostage by Xuanyuan Ba's entourage Lieying, and he must have thought of blaming my lord for this matter. Mrs. Song pointed to Xuanyuan Ba and Zhao Yuanang, who were sitting on the high seat.
"Oh, there is such a thing, Xuanyuan Family Master, what do you explain about this matter?" The Kaiyuan City Lord swept his gaze and looked at Xuanyuan Ba.
Xuanyuan Ba seemed to have thought of facing such a situation a long time ago, he was not impatient or impatient, and after saluting the Kaiyuan City Lord, he pointed at Mrs. Song and said sharply: "This remnant of the Song Mansion is really ruthless, how can Lieying have been to the Song Mansion, it is completely nonsense!"
"We have someone here, Steward Wu!"
Steward Wu stepped forward and told Lieying about the story of Song Jingyun going to Song Jingyun, which was convincing.
"Hmph! This is the butler of your Song Mansion, how can his words be used as witnesses?"
"Then what evidence do you have to identify my master as the person behind the collusion with foreign enemies?" Mrs. Song was angry, but she was a weak woman, and she was weak, and she couldn't come up with any more favorable evidence, so she had to use the means of raising her voice to lead the topic to Xuanyuan Ba.
"I naturally have a witness! The head of the Zhao Mansion witnessed the process of Song Jingyun's collusion with foreign enemies with me at that time, and he is the best witness!"
"You ...... You are embarrassed!" Mrs. Song trembled with anger, seeing that the two people who had murdered her husband were now biting back, but she couldn't make any powerful counterattack, and suddenly a sense of powerlessness arose from the bottom of her heart.
"Hmph! And your Song Mansion fled in a hurry after the incident, if you weren't a thief, why did you want to escape?" Seeing that Mrs. Song seemed to have lost her fighting spirit, Xuanyuan Ba unceremoniously added that the matter of falling into the well was done neatly.
"This ...... City Lord, the little woman is really wronged!" Mrs. Song twitched her lips a few times, but she couldn't refute it, and finally she could only cry weakly to the Kaiyuan City Lord.
"Okay, it seems that the dust has settled on this matter, you don't have to quibble anymore, come on! ...... all the remnants of the Song Mansion" The Kaiyuan City Lord waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Madam Song's cry, and was about to order.
In fact, the people present already knew in their hearts that the Song Mansion was inseparable from this matter, and the trial court was just a formality, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Kaiyuan City Lord.
It's just that just when everyone thought that the matter was about to come to an end, a voice interrupted the words of the Kaiyuan City Lord: "Wait!"
Everyone's eyes brushed to the person who spoke, it was Xie An.
"Oh, what objection do you have to my trial?" The Kaiyuan City Lord was not annoyed, but looked at Xie An with interest.
"The city lord is wise and martial, and the younger generation has no objection to the judgment made, but these three people are the masterminds, I want to deal with it personally, and I ask the city lord to agree. Xie An bowed and said.
"Oh, please be reasonable, naturally there is no problem! Then the three masterminds will be left to you to dispose of. Come on, behead all the other people in the Song Mansion to show the public, and use the Kaiyuan Shengwei to be right!" The Kaiyuan City Lord didn't think about it, and agreed to Xie An's request without hesitation, and then unceremoniously sentenced the rest of the Song Mansion to death.
Hearing this verdict, Mrs. Song's face was as pale as paper, and Song Daiyu almost fainted, but fortunately, Steward Wu quickly helped her.
Although their lives were saved for the time being, it was not known what Xie An would do with them, and those innocent people who were originally loyal to the Song Mansion had no hope of survival.
Mrs. Song looked at Xuanyuan Ba and Zhao Yuanang with contempt on the high platform seat with resentful eyes, and gritted her teeth: "Don't be complacent, you two don't be complacent, even if you are a ghost, I won't let you go!"
Xuanyuan Ba naturally didn't care about Mrs. Song's threat, but Xie An's sudden opening made him feel a little surprised.
Why did this Xie An keep these three people? Could it be that he was really angry with Song Jingyun and wanted to use these three people to vent his anger? I really don't understand, what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd? )
