Impossible, only he and Ruyan knew about this, and Ruyan would never betray him.
There must be something fishy going on here.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Chao decided that he would never admit that he did it.
"Master Lan, we need evidence for everything. Don't harm the innocent."
"Bah, you are still innocent?" Father Lan was furious. This Chen Chao was really shameless.
In addition to the people in the court, there were also some onlookers outside the door, watching and talking about the matter.
"Chen Chao is really shameless. He has witnesses but still refuses to admit it."
"Perhaps he was wrongly accused. The maid must be on the side of her mistress."
"I don't think so. Chen Chao's face doesn't look good."
"Silence." Magistrate Lin shouted loudly.
The crowd outside quickly quieted down after hearing his roar.
"Chen Chao, do you recognize her?" Prefect Lin pointed at Qiu'er next to him.
Qiu Er glared at him angrily: "It was he who harmed our young lady. Chen Chao, do you still remember me?"
Isn't this Lan Zhi's maid? After he poisoned Lan Zhi, he searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her. Now she appeared.
If I had known, I would have met her earlier...
"So what if you remember? You are a witness, aren't you speaking for your young lady?"
"Sir, please understand clearly. She is Lan Zhi's person. She must be speaking for Lan Zhi and slandering me." Shen Chao knelt down and kowtowed.
"You~" Qiu'er's face turned red with anger.
Miss, do you see this? This is the person you're obsessed with, and he's really not worth it.
Qiu'er thought of the stupid things her young lady had done and quietly wiped away her tears.
Qiu'er, I saw everything your young lady did. It's really hard for you.
Lan Zhi hid in the crowd and watched all this silently.
No one else can see her, only Mu Nanyan can see her.
Mu Nanyan was held in Mo Linyuan's arms and squeezed into the crowd.
If necessary, as a member of the royal family, she can come forward to help.
[There are such shameless people in this world. Today really opened my eyes.]
[Sister Lanzhi, it’s great that you have your family and maids supporting you.]
Yes, thanks to them, she had the courage to face Shen Chao.
As soon as she saw him, she wanted to go up and hit him.
"Since you still want evidence, I'll make you give up." Father Lan snorted coldly.
Then, another person came in. He was the owner of Tongjitang.
“Sir, Master Shen once bought arsenic from our pharmacy, and the pharmacist in our store also knows about this.”
"We didn't want to sell it to Master Shen originally, but he said he wanted to use this medicine to poison rats, so we agreed to sell it to him after his pleading."
Chen Chao glanced at the man and cursed, "Bullshit, when did I ever say that? Could it be that you are all speaking in unison and deliberately framing me?"
"Silence." Prefect Lin felt that the noise in the court was giving him a headache.
"I will make the decision myself."
In response, Shen Chao sneered, "Sir, where is the physical evidence? If you have the guts, bring it out."
Physical evidence, right? I've been waiting for you to say this.
"Sir, this is what we found in Shen Chao's room." The bailiff suddenly said.
Now, with both witnesses and evidence, we can't say that the government was bribed by Lan's father.
Shen Chao remained silent.
Prefect Lin was about to make a judgment, "Now, I announce..."
"Wait a minute, sir, please listen to what I have to say." An old woman with a wrinkled face and a cane appeared.
When Shen Chao saw the person coming, his face changed, "Mom, why are you here?"
"If I don't come, are you waiting for me to collect your body?" Old Madam Shen rolled her eyes at him and hit the ground hard with her cane.
"Mom, that's not what I meant." Shen Chao was a little afraid of Old Madam Shen.
Mu Nanyan looked at the old lady and felt that she was particularly difficult to deal with. She probably wasn't an easy character to deal with.
[Sister Lanzhi, your mother-in-law is not easy to deal with]
Judging from his appearance, he is the kind of person who looks very fierce.
Lan Zhi recalled the anger she had received from Old Madam Shen before, and she felt a lot, "Yes, she is very difficult to communicate with."
"Little princess, you guessed it right."
Old Madam Shen knelt down tremblingly, "Sir, they are using their numbers to bully the few."
"My son, don't I know that he wouldn't even dare to step on an ant to death? We can all testify to this."
Before coming here, she had warned everyone in the family not to talk nonsense, otherwise they would not be able to bear the consequences.
Father Lan was worried when he saw that Prefect Lin's attitude had softened a little. He couldn't imagine how he would explain to his daughter if he let Chen Chao go.
As if by telepathy, he looked into the crowd and felt that his daughter was there.
At this time, Mo Linyuan walked out of the crowd holding Mu Nanyan. He held the token given by Emperor Hui and asked Prefect Lin: "Lord Lin, you must judge carefully."
When Prefect Lin saw the token, he found out it was bestowed by the emperor. Seeing the token was like the emperor leading the army in person.
"I bow to the emperor. Long live the emperor."
Everyone was stunned. When they saw Magistrate Lin kneeling down, they also knelt down and shouted.
"Stand up, this is our little princess of Nanzhao."
Mo Linyuan introduced Mu Nanyan to everyone, and everyone shouted, "Long live the little princess."
"We will supervise the case and hope that Magistrate Lin can enforce the law impartially."
With this hat put on him, how could he not enforce the law properly? He still wants his official hat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Prefect Lin broke out in a cold sweat.
[I didn’t even know that Brother Yuan took the token given by Daddy]
