Chapter 379, In ​​the Court

"Little Princess, is this your plan?"

Master Qiao followed Xia Wanwan to the government office.

The night was particularly dark tonight, the dark night plus the unclear moonlight made the atmosphere gloomy.

But the door of the government office was open, and the candles were bright.

It seemed that they were waiting for him here.

Master Qiao had a bad premonition. He was afraid that if he stepped into this place, it would be like stepping into the gate of hell, and there would be no escape.

"Are you scared?"

Xia Wanwan raised her little face and sneered.

It seems that only those who have done too many evil things will feel that the justice and integrity hung on the plaque of the court is a hell of punishment!

"Princess Ximing, you are not a child, you should have heard the saying that old people are always wise. I admit that you are quite capable."

"But in worldly affairs, people are always convinced by reason and evidence. If you knew those things and secretly killed me, I would have to admit that I am not as powerful as you."

"But you brought me to the court for trial. Do you know that you are neither right nor have evidence? You are still very young to kill me."

"Hahaha, it's not certain who will win this game!"

Grandpa Qiao suddenly laughed.

He is a thoughtful person who can do anything for the benefit of his family.

After living for so many years, he has been scheming and making every move carefully. After he has money and power, no one dares to say a word to him.

Unexpectedly, the only opponent he met in his life was a little girl of two and a half years old.

She obviously had the ability to kill him directly, but she accompanied him to the court.

Forget it, Princess Ximing, I have been scheming all my life, but I have never met an opponent.

Today I will fight with my life, just as if I have met a worthy opponent. Even if I lose this game, it will be a worthy death!

He strode into the court, straightened his back, and had the demeanor of a head of the family.

And his two and a half year old opponent.

Looking down, he was trying hard to lift his calf and stepped over the high threshold with difficulty, and he almost fell.

Xia Wanwan stretched out her hand, showing two small baby teeth and smiled, "Help me, thank you!"

Old Master Qiao:...

He turned away coldly without even pulling her.

This little thing, killed his own grandson, and still acted cute, what a dog!

"Stingy ghost!"

Xia Wanwan was pulled by the soldiers at the door. She stood up and patted her skirt. She cursed softly and followed him into the government office.

In the court.

There were medicinal residues and flower soil. Zhishu Qiao lowered his eyelids and looked at the two evidences that harmed his wife, with ambiguous emotions in his eyes.

Below the court was his mother, Old Lady Qiao, who he was about to judge.

Originally, this matter could be solved secretly at home.

But the eldest prince came to the government office with a token, and the government's runners immediately went to find him.

He followed the eldest prince's order and brought all the people here.

Now, the eldest prince has gone out with the soldiers and has not returned, but he has to personally judge his parents.

After the doctor carefully examined the flower soil and medicine residue in the pot, he bowed and retreated to the side of Old Lady Qiao and reported,

"My lord, this soil has the smell of medicine. As for what medicine it is, it has been so long that I can no longer smell it. However, it contains Northeast Musk, which is the main ingredient of Huanyixiang. Northeast Musk is not as strong as ordinary musk. Northeast Musk is purified by sophisticated means. The smell is not strong, but it lasts for a long time and can be covered by the fragrance of flowers, so it is not easy to detect!"

"What is Huanyixiang?" asked Qiao Zhishu.

"It is a kind of spice that causes women to be unable to get pregnant. Other herbs are not important. The important thing is the musk that was brought in from the northeast, which is the important herbal medicine for women's infertility!" The doctor reported in detail.

As soon as these words came out.

Qiao Zhishu looked at Old Lady Qiao with a complicated look. He gritted his teeth and his voice trembled,

"Mother... Qiao Pang, why did you do this!"

He didn't understand why his parents had to make things difficult for his wife.

They didn't allow her to get pregnant even though she had a bell, but often used the fact that she didn't get pregnant to rub her.

What good would it do to them to do this?

"Even if someone put drugs in the flowers, what does it have to do with me, son, you brought your mother to the court for trial because of the unknown truth. Do you have a conscience?"

Old Lady Qiao's eyes were full of disappointment.

As expected, a son who is not your own cannot be raised well.

Her own son, for the sake of his parents, could sacrifice his daughter and wife to the abandoned infant tower.

And this Lord Qiao, who had raised her for many years and taught her carefully, ended up judging her for a woman!

The old lady was immediately heartbroken.

"If you didn't do it, why did you rush to destroy the evidence when I saw it?" How could Magistrate Qiao not feel heartbroken . m.ζíＮgＹúΤxＴ.иεＴ

But his wife was so innocent.

"This flower pot has been placed in the greenhouse for a long time. Who knows who did it? Every plant and tree in our Qiao family belongs to me. What if I destroy it! What does this prove?" Old Lady Qiao snorted coldly.

If the person sitting in court was not the one she had raised since childhood, she might be a little afraid.

Facing the pale accusation of Qiao Zhishu, she was not afraid at all.

"The flowerpot has been there for a long time, so you can't be blamed for it, but what about the pregnancy-preserving medicine?" Qiao Zhishu asked.

"Sir, this medicine residue is an ordinary pregnancy-preserving medicine, but it contains a strange gorilla grass. This grass is expensive and rare, and it will stimulate the fetus to continuously absorb nutrients from the mother. It seems harmless during pregnancy, but in fact, the mother and the fetus are deeply poisoned, and both are damaged. There will be two lives at birth!" The doctor replied.

"The medicine has problems, what does it have to do with me!" Old Lady Qiao snorted.

As long as she doesn't admit it, with Zhishu's temper, he can't do anything to her!

But when she looked up and saw the master's gaze full of anger, she panicked.

No, Zhishu really wants to hurt her!

Yuanbao smiled elegantly and reminded lightly: "My lord."

Qiao Zhishu suddenly came to his senses and slapped the wooden stick in the hall!

"Bring them up!" As soon as

the words fell.

Two people were thrown into the hall, tied up and seemed to have been tortured.

Zhong Youyan clapped her hands and stood behind the two people, looking heroic.

The two people who were tied were Jingjing and a strange man.

With the questioning of Master Qiao, the identities of the people in the hall were exposed to everyone. One was Jingjing, the personal maid of Master Qiao's wife, and the other was the gentleman who managed the accounts in Qiao's mansion.

Old Mrs. Qiao turned pale, knowing that her son was going to take real action against her.

With a trembling voice, she questioned, "Qiao Zhishu, what do you mean? Do you really want to send your old mother to jail?"

She was scared.

Could it be that the woman was so important to Zhishu?

But she had no money and no backing, how could she be worthy of Zhishu, an official who passed the imperial examination!

She couldn't figure it out!

Qiao Zhishu: "I have never joked with you. In the court, there is only justice, not family affection!"

"If you say that two people testifying cannot prove your guilt, what about the three people?"

"Someone, bring the other witnesses up!"
