Gu Pianran, who was standing on the side, felt a pang in his heart and had a bad feeling.
"It's her." Shen Qianqian pointed to the people at the back of the government office, where Gu Pianran and her maid were.
Gu Fanzhi was furious when he saw that they actually directed their attacks at Pianran.
First they slandered him, and now they want to drag Pianran into this. This is simply outrageous.
Mu family, what a good trick.
They haven't taken any action against her yet, but she has started to deal with them by any means necessary.
Everyone looked in the direction of Shen Qianqian's finger and saw the veiled Gu Pianran and her maid Dongmei.
Dongmei was shocked and angry, "You are slandering me."
Chen Qianqian said slowly, "That day, she was also wearing the same veil. Although the patterns were different, the material used was Shu brocade. In our Yanzhou area, we don't like to use Shu brocade. We use plain brocade instead."
The little fat boy looked at her carefully and said, "Yes, it's her. Her height and figure are just right."
"I remember when the woman approached, she smelled a faint fragrance. It was the rose ointment produced by Gu's company."
Gu Pianran walked out calmly and entered the courtroom, as if she didn't feel the disgust and angry glances coming from all directions.
"Since arriving in Yanzhou Prefecture, I have been wearing a veil. If someone wants to use me to frame the Fourth Prince, it would be too easy. Everything I have is known to anyone who has met me. It is not a secret."
"As for the veil Miss Shen mentioned, Yanzhou people don't like to use Shu brocade. That doesn't mean everyone uses it, and it certainly doesn't mean all merchants and travelers in Yanzhou don't wear it. To give you a simple example, I remember Madam Mu also came from Chang'an City."
When the people outside the court heard her use the example of wooden peach, they all became angry.
"What does this woman mean?!" someone asked in confusion.
"She is implying that the second-in-command framed her." The smart people understood it immediately and explained it to the people around them who didn't understand yet.
This explanation immediately aroused public outrage.
"That's too much!"
"Who is the Second in Command? He is nothing compared to a vicious woman like you."
"I thought everyone was as vicious as her."
"How shameless!"
…
Faced with the angry curses coming from all directions, Gu Fanzhi's face was terribly gloomy.
He couldn't help but look at Prefect Fang, who gritted his teeth and slammed the gavel in his hand.
"Silence, silence, silence."
After he shouted dozens of times, the noise outside gradually became quieter.
Prefect Fang looked at Chen Qianqian and the others, "The reasons you gave are too one-sided. Do you have any solid evidence?"
The fat boy shouted, "Six of us can prove it. Isn't that enough evidence?"
"You are at most witnesses, but you must also have complete physical evidence. The physical evidence you presented is simply inconclusive."
The only old man among the six people took out something and said, "I have something here."
Everyone watched as the old man pulled something out of his pocket. It was a woman's silk handkerchief. "This, this was dropped by the girl when she gave me tea. I wanted to give it to her, but she disappeared. I thought I'd return it to her when I see her again."
"Sir, please consider this handkerchief and see if it can be used as evidence."
The yamen runner delivered the handkerchief to Prefect Fang, who immediately noticed a small word embroidered on the lower right corner of the handkerchief.
