Would he not know what to do?
However, Lord Li still didn't hold a grudge against Hu Mingmei and accepted the situation gracefully. "Officer Cheng, bring the plaintiff and witnesses up here."
All the relevant personnel were in place. Chief Constable Cheng nodded and went to the back room to lead his men. After a short while, he returned with a large, dark-colored group of people.
Lord Li was exasperated. Why did Lu Ying have to invite so many people to the wedding banquet? Didn't she know that too many people would be a nuisance?
The plaintiff was kneeling in front. Following procedure, Judge Li asked him first, "Plaintiff, you're accusing someone of harboring a killer and murdering for money. Do you have any evidence?"

Seeing the inconsistency in her statements, Bai Nuo immediately retorted, "If I had evidence in my room, would you have discovered it? You just said you'd never been to my Treasure Pavilion, so how did you know there was evidence in my room?"
His words were inconsistent, and the change was quite rapid, which gave Lord Li a headache. However, he had no choice but to take it seriously, as the year-end was approaching and the performance evaluation was at stake. He couldn't afford to be careless, so he immediately asked, "Are you serious?"
