After Zhou Ming was brought up.
He had no energy or spirit.
He knew it very well.
This time.
We messed it up!
His status as a prince couldn't save him at all!
Ye Wenwen's body was still lying next to him.
It has been wiped clean.
Yet, traces of brutal abuse could still be seen on her face and hands.
Wu Ying forcefully slammed the gavel!
"Zhou Ming! What did you do to Ye Wenwen last night?"
Zhou Ming shrugged.
What else can you do on your wedding night?
This attitude of giving up and disregarding the courtroom infuriated Wu Ying.
"Zhou Ming! Confess!"
"Of course it's about what husband and wife do. What, does Your Excellency want me to demonstrate it in court?!"
Wu Ying frowned.
"Zhou Ming is in contempt of court! He is refusing to cooperate with the public trial!"
"According to the laws of my Great Yuan Dynasty! Execute 20 strokes of the cane!"
"yes!"
Zhou Ming immediately replied.
"Wu Ying! Don't forget, I am still a prince!"
"As long as I haven't killed anyone, even if I'm in contempt of court, you can't punish me!"
Wu Ying gritted his teeth.
Okay, then go ahead and laugh.
You'll be crying later!
Wu Ying asked again.
"The coroner has examined Ye Wenwen's wounds, and they were all caused by being punched and kicked!"
"Zhou Ming, the murderer, are you the one?!"
Zhou Ming shrugged.
"Who can prove it? Don't tell me it's the imperial physician who came to diagnose Ye Wenwen!"
"They didn't see it with their own eyes! It's all just speculation!"
"Do you have any evidence? Do you have any witnesses who saw me beat the princess to death?!"
Wu Ying sneered.
"It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"
"Bring the witnesses to court!"
Xiao Cui quickly came up.
After seeing her.
Zhou Ming was taken aback.
It's her!
Could it be...?
She's going to testify for Ye Wenwen?!
No, last night.
I have already used both threats and inducements to make her mute!
How could she have the audacity to come forward and testify?!
Xiao Cui told him everything.
Many details were explained clearly.
The common people started pointing fingers and gossiping!
"This is outrageous! How could he treat his wife like this!"
"This King Zhou is truly unworthy of being a prince!"
"Poor princess, the wedding night is a very important night for a woman! But it has become her death warrant!"
"This time, King Zhou will probably not escape the death penalty!"
"Retribution! This is all retribution! If King Zhou had behaved himself properly, he wouldn't be in this predicament today!"
Wu Ying replied quickly.
"Zhou Ming, now that the evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say?!"
Zhou Ming clenched his fist.
"I have nothing to say!"
"She's just unlucky. I didn't even have to use my full strength before I killed her!"
"I'm just going to die anyway, so go ahead and order my head to be chopped off!"
Wu Ying: "Hmph!"
"You are destined to die!"
"However, the death penalty won't be that simple!"
"I will report this case to the Emperor, and the decision on how to use torture will be left to the Emperor!"
"Guards! Take Zhou Ming away!"
"yes!"
Zhou Ming was quickly taken away.
He was imprisoned in his previous cell.
Zhou Ming looked at the cage.
He never expected this.
It's only been a few days.
I've been locked up in a familiar place again.
It's as if everything has returned to its starting point!
The jailer was also hinted at by Wu Ying.
You can reveal Zhou Ming's murder to the other prisoners in the Dali Temple.
In this way...
The prisoners then knew.
This time, Zhou Ming will definitely not be as lucky as last time to escape the punishment of the law!
They will definitely choose to kick someone when they're down!
Tell me everything you know!
For Wu Ying.
Zhou Ming's fate was sealed.
If we could add more blame to this.
On the Emperor's side.
This would also allow for a greater effort to execute Zhou Ming.
This process still needs to be followed.
soon.
Various complaints and accusations arose.
"When Zhou Ming was imprisoned at Dali Temple, he broke the lock and beat Ye Wenwen up!"
"Yes, we saw it with our own eyes!"
"He even sneaked into my cell in the middle of the night and beat me up because I didn't share my food with him!"
"Many of the prisoners here are afraid of him, and they always give him the best food at mealtimes!"
"I've seen him take things from street vendors without paying before, and the vendors were angry but dared not say anything!"
After all the charges were collected...
Wu Ying reported this to the Emperor.
Ye Ling was furious.
"Zhou Ming has committed numerous crimes! Beheading him is too lenient!"
"By imperial decree, Zhou Ming has been found guilty of bullying and oppressing the weak, attempting to escape from Dali Temple, and brutally beating his wife!"
"This is a crime that can no longer be solved by beheading!"
"Drag him to the execution ground! Chop him into mincemeat!"
"yes!"
After the emperor's decree was issued.
Zhou Ming was dumbfounded!
"What?! They're going to chop me into mincemeat?!"
"I am a prince! Even if it's a death sentence, according to the regulations for princes, it's a death sentence!"
Wu Ying said it casually.
"His Majesty has stripped you of your princely title! You've been reduced to a commoner!"
"From this moment forward! You are no longer a prince! You are just a commoner!"
