The officers at the court gate stopped Tang Li.
"Let her in." Wei Qing said.
At Wei Qing's command, the officer withdrew his hand.
Tang Li walked to the court and stood in front of Ding.
Ding frowned and looked at Tang Li. She knew her, the young lady of the Gu family, the wife of Minister Wu, and familiar with Bai Muyang. Why was she in the court?
She certainly had no evidence to prove anything.
"Ms. Ding, you killed Ms. Guo. Twelve years have passed. Don't you feel guilty?" Tang Li suddenly approached Ms. Ding and asked coldly.
What's there to worry about?
Guo is dead, how can he come back to seek revenge on her?
Ding said righteously, "I didn't harm her. You are framing me, sir. You allow this unrelated person to frame me and disrupt the court..."
Ding's voice suddenly stopped. Looking into her eyes, he suddenly felt dizzy, as if he had fallen into a whirlpool. After he came to his senses, he realized something was wrong.
It was getting dark and the scenery around me changed.
She looked around. She was not in the court, but in a courtyard.
This yard looks familiar.
She stared at the yard for a while, and suddenly realized, isn't this Guo's yard?
Guo's courtyard was huge, and she had always wanted it since she entered the Bai residence. But Guo stubbornly occupied it, and after Guo's death, that little bastard Bai Muyang stubbornly guarded it...
Her gaze suddenly stopped and fell on a well.
This well is where Guo died!
Ding stared at the well, feeling it was eerie for some reason.
The whole yard was gloomy and particularly creepy.
Suddenly, a pale, bloodless hand fell at the edge of the well, startling Ding so much that she took two steps back.
"Who is playing tricks? I tell you, I'm not afraid of you, get out here!" Ding shouted.
The next moment, the man came out of the well, stood there, staring at her.
When she saw her face clearly, Ding was so frightened that she almost lost her soul.
I saw that she had long and thin eyebrows, a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and was quite beautiful. She had a dignified temperament. It was Guo!
Guo... Why is Guo here?
Isn't Guo dead?!
Could it be... a ghost!
Guo walked slowly towards Ding.
"Get away! Don't come near me!" Ding shouted.
However, Guo did not stop.
The next moment, Guo appeared in front of her, staring at her.
"Why? Why do you want to kill me?" Guo's voice was sad and questioning.
Ding was so scared that she turned and ran away.
As Ding ran, she ran into a corner and there was no way to run anymore.
Ding could only huddle in the corner, trembling.
"Don't come over! Guo Bingyan, don't come over!" Ding shouted.
"Why? Why?" Guo kept repeating this sentence, and this sentence was like a curse, lingering over Ding's head.
"Why? Because you're blocking my way. If I don't kill you, you'll be Madam Bai, and I'll always be a concubine!"
"Only by killing you can I become Madam Bai!"
"Guo Bingyan, you can't blame me. You're the one who's stupid. You can also kill me. It's your fault that you're such a loser. You just cry all day long like a nagging woman!"
"I had someone push you into a well. Everyone thought you committed suicide. For twelve years, a full twelve years, no one knew the truth. Guo Bingyan, you couldn't defeat me alive, and you can't even think of defeating me dead!"
"Don't come over here. If I dare to kill you once, I will kill you twice!"
Ding was extremely frightened and wanted to fight with Guo for her life. Her expression suddenly became fierce and she pounced on Guo.
However, she missed and fell to the ground.
Her head felt dizzy and the scene around her changed again. She turned around and found herself back in the court.
She breathed a sigh of relief, so it was just an illusion?
She lay on the ground, sweating all over and almost exhausted.
She said that since she had been dead for so long, if Guo's ghost wanted to find her, it would have done so long ago. The reason why it didn't come back was because ghosts were afraid of evil people!
However, her joy only lasted a moment, because she found that everyone looked at her differently.
"So it was really this Ding who killed Guo. A concubine actually killed the original wife in order to become the first wife. This is too vicious."
"Poor Guo, she died an innocent and tragic death, and was mistakenly believed to have committed suicide, allowing the murderer to remain at large!"
"That Mr. Bai is really something, favoring his concubine over his wife!"
"Evil people like Ding must be severely punished!"
"Yes, they must be severely punished!"
Passersby accused him of something.
Did she just tell the truth?
Ding felt cold all over, blood rushed to her head, and her mind was in a mess.
It's over, it's all over.
Ding couldn't help but look at Tang Li, and saw a smile on the corner of her mouth, with endless coldness on her face.
It’s all because of this woman!
This woman is so weird!
It was because I looked into her eyes that I fell into hallucination!
"She framed me!" Ding pointed at Tangli and shouted.
"Everyone heard what you just said. How can you say it's a false accusation?!" Wei Qing shouted angrily.
He then turned to Zeng Zuwen and said, "Master Zeng, the prisoner has confessed his guilt. Can he be convicted now?"
Zeng Zuwen's face looked very ugly. What an idiot!
Ding looked at her great-grandfather Wen pleadingly, but her great-grandfather Wen turned his gaze away.
"Minister Wu, please pronounce the verdict according to the law."
Wei Qing pronounced the verdict according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, accusing Ding of being the mastermind in killing Guo and intending to silence her. He was sentenced to beheading for multiple crimes. The sentence would be executed immediately after review by the Dali Temple and the Censorate!
After Wei Qing announced the verdict, Ding immediately collapsed to the ground, her face pale and bloodless.
Mr. Wu was very excited and his eyes were red.
He had finally waited for this day, and the truth of the case was finally revealed.
"Madam..." Old Wu looked at Old Mrs. Wu.
Old Mrs. Wu pinched the back of his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's not a dream."
"You old woman, how come you are so strong?" Old Wu muttered.
"Okay, I'll blow on you." Old Mrs. Wu said with a smile, and actually shook Old Mrs. Wu's hand and blew on it.
The young couple will be together in old age. Their relationship is so good that it makes people envy.
Ding was taken away, and when she was taken away, she glanced at her great-grandfather Wen.
Zeng Zuwen gave her a soothing look.
Soon, Great-grandfather Wen also passed away.
The people also dispersed one after another.
Old Wu did not leave, but looked at Wei Qing hesitantly, wanting to say something.
"Mr. Wu, come with me." Wei Qing said.
Wei Qing took Mr. Wu to a quiet place.
"Mr. Wu, don't worry, no one can get away with it." Wei Qing said.
"Do you know what I am going to say?" Mr. Wu was very surprised.
"This case has not been completely closed. The person who reported the case was murdered, and the murderer has not yet been brought to justice." Wei Qing said.
Old Wu nodded. It turned out that the Minister knew everything.
The case twelve years ago was hastily closed. There must be an accomplice within the Ministry of Justice. In fact, both Old Wu and Wei Qing knew exactly who the accomplice was.
The other party holds power and is backed by powerful people, making him much more difficult to deal with than the Ding family.
However, Mr. Wu was unwilling to let the man go just like that.
He failed to protect the person who reported the case, and failed to seek justice for her or avenge her. He felt guilty.
"No matter who it is or what their identity is, I will find out the truth and give justice to the deceased." Wei Qing said with a firm expression.
Old Wu stared at Wei Qing, his eyes moved and his heart excited. That was great.
It would be great if the Great Zhou had more upright officials like the Minister.
