The Dali Temple Minister understood Shen Yuerong's meaning, coughed twice, and directly announced the closure of the case.
"Today's case has been investigated thoroughly. Fu Hengjing, the son of the Fu family, was so bold that he used the Five Stones Powder to harm civilian women. He has committed numerous crimes and has been arrested and imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison. He will be executed at 15:30 in the afternoon seven days later."
After the Dali Temple Minister finished his verdict, he was about to throw the wooden sign in his hand to the ground, when Fu Hengjing suddenly cried out in anxiety.
"Wait a minute, if I can name the people involved in the Five Stones Powder, is there any room for maneuver?"
As soon as these words came out, the Dali Temple Minister subconsciously turned his gaze in the direction of Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu to seek advice.
After all, if the two of them disagreed, it would be difficult for him to agree with Fu Hengjing.
Shen Yuerong sat there and spoke in an elegant and noble manner.
"Since he can reveal the person behind this, it would be best for you to interrogate him carefully."
After hearing what Shen Yuerong said, the Dali Temple Minister breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to interrogate Fu Hengjing.
As a result, the interrogation lasted from dawn to dusk. After Shen Yuerong and Chi Mujian had a simple meal, they sat back and continued to watch.
If you ask why Shen Yuerong insisted on doing so, it was simply because she wanted to see a scum like Fu Hengjing being tried with her own eyes so that she could go back and tell Huo Mengyuan about it.
Another reason was that Shen Yuerong was worried that the person behind the scenes would destroy Fu Hengjing's body.
The court was dotted with lights, and many people, after finishing their meals, hurried over and gathered together to watch the fun.
Fu Hengjing wrote a whole sheet of paper detailing the people involved, including the production and transportation of Wu Shi San, as well as the dignitaries who had used Wu Shi San.
Many of the capital's prominent families have children among them. The Dali Temple's Minister felt sweat running down his spine when he heard this, as he couldn't afford to offend any of them.
Moreover, the relevant production staff and the Dali Temple Minister had heard something about it and felt a little uneasy.
Although these people had never appeared in public, many officials in the capital secretly tacitly acknowledged that they were the prince's men.
His eyes fell on Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu who were still as steady as a rock on the side, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the two of them were there the whole time, so if they really came to the point, he would have some way to shirk responsibility.
Fu Hengjing was so thirsty that he just sat on the ground and shouted.
"I want to eat and drink!"
Seeing that he was now telling the truth, the Dali Temple Chief Justice agreed and ordered people to serve food and drinks.
He just sat cross-legged on the ground and started eating without restraint.
Shen Yuerong picked up the teacup and took a sip, and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
Now, judging from what Fu Hengjing said, all this must be related to the Crown Prince.
If he continued to give such instructions, the prince would definitely be scared.
He will definitely take action.
Shen Yuerong suddenly looked up at Fu Hengjing who was eating heartily in front of her, and was startled.
If we want to take action, now is undoubtedly the best time.
"etc!"
She strode up and gave instructions in the direction of Fu Hengjing.
"Catch him quickly, don't let him eat you!"
Fang Mu rushed forward, grabbed Fu Hengjing by the collar, and threw the dishes and chopsticks in front of him away.
I originally wanted him to stop eating, but he ended up eating like a wild beast, and his eyes gradually turned bloodshot.
Not only did he eat all the food, he also stuffed the broken bowl and chopsticks into his mouth. Even though his mouth was bleeding, he still kept chewing.
This situation happened very quickly and urgently, and the people watching around stepped back and exclaimed.
"Oh my god, is he crazy? He even ate the bowl. Doesn't his throat hurt?"
"He's suffering from hysteria. I heard it's contagious. Everyone, run."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people rushed out one after another, looking very panicked.
The entire courtroom suddenly became noisy, and Shen Yuerong gave direct and clear orders.
"Thank you for your help, my husband."
Chi Mu immediately understood what Shen Yuerong meant, and stepped forward with his guards to organize the people to leave in an orderly manner.
Shen Yuerong came to Fu Hengjing's side and directly inserted silver needles into his acupuncture points.
Only then did Fu Hengjing stop chewing, and the bloodshot in his eyes gradually faded away.
He cast a horrified look at Shen Yuerong for help, grabbed his aching throat with both hands, and kept making hoarse growls.
At that moment, he felt as if all the bones in his body were hit hard by a hammer, and his internal organs were rapidly deforming.
He thought he was going to die here.
Seeing this, Shen Yuerong frowned and directly scolded in a cold voice.
"Just shut up and don't make any more noise, and I'll find a way to save you."
Although Fu Hengjing had always had a bad relationship with Shen Yuerong, he subconsciously quieted down after hearing this, and just knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her continuously.
Because he knew that Shen Yuerong would definitely save him. If it were anyone else at this moment, he would not believe it.
He didn't know why he felt this way, perhaps deep down he felt that Shen Yuerong had done nothing wrong, and the ones who were wrong were their Fu family.
I just would never admit such a thing.
The silver needles in Shen Yuerong's hand quickly fell on the acupuncture points on his body, and at the same time she ordered people to boil a decoction. After he drank it, he directly vomited out puddles of black water.
In the end, Fu Hengjing's life was saved, but he could no longer speak and became mute.
He fell to the ground, looking at the dark night and the bright lights, without moving for a long time.
Just for a moment, he seemed to have really lost the past, and everything flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.
It turns out that he was really innocent and kind when he was a child, and he didn't even want to kill a little rabbit.
But his mother would curse him viciously for being stupid, not daring to kill even a rabbit, and calling him a waste.
And no matter what he did, he was only greeted with vicious insults or even physical attacks.
Normally, his mother would treat him cruelly, but once he hit someone or did something bad, she would praise him for doing a good job and urge him to be even more ruthless.
Over time, he gradually lost himself, became addicted to red-light districts, loved gambling, fighting, and seeking excitement.
But he seemed empty, and the more empty he felt, the more he wanted to pursue excitement, until Wu Shi San appeared in front of him.
At this moment, he actually hated the old lady for not teaching him well since childhood. If that were the case, maybe he could really become an upright person.
Fu Hengjing felt like crying, but also wanted to laugh.
But it was too late.
…
Shen Yuerong stood in front of him with cold eyes and glanced down at him condescendingly.
"At this point, do you still think you did the right thing?"
Fu Hengjing quickly got up, knelt in front of Shen Yuerong and kowtowed repeatedly. He gestured wildly to show that he knew he was wrong.
But Shen Yuerong didn't want to pay attention at all, and just spoke lightly.
"If you really know you are wrong, then you should start a new life in the future. Even if you are exiled to the northern border, as long as you act honestly, you will have a chance to start over in life."
