The old couple was also infected by this emotion and started crying.
"Princess! Seek justice for my son! My son is alive and well, it was him! He is such a wicked man! He hit my son and didn't care about him at all!
Poor my son! He died at such a young age! If they had sent someone to treat him, he wouldn't have died!"
The half-white-haired man cried and said that his wife was crying heartbreakingly, lying on the corpse and shouting: "Son! My dear son!"
"Nonsense! Shhhh—I clearly gave him money that day! If he died without seeking medical treatment, what does it have to do with me?"
When Yang Chi'an heard them "throwing dirty water" at him, he was so angry that he wanted to stand up, but because he moved too hard, he tore his wound, so he could only kneel there and yell at them fiercely.
"Bah! You bastard! What's the use of your money! Can it buy my son's life?!
How good a doctor can we have in our town?
But you! You can definitely save her!
You are the prefect's son! Your family is so rich and powerful, why don't you save my son?
The old woman's tone, although clearly that of the victim, made her sound like she was being unreasonable.
Zhang You frowned when he heard this. How could someone speak so unreasonably and ignore the main point?
But considering the difficulty that woman faced in her old age, her behavior was understandable.
The old woman stood up excitedly and was about to go over and hit Yang Chi'an.
Qiao Si quickly struck the gavel.
"quiet!"
Immediately, the constables came forward and pulled them apart.
It was quiet again.
Liu wiped the tears from her face and said word by word, "Princess, the cause of my husband's death has been examined by the coroner, and the coroner has testimony to prove that it was him who killed my husband!"
She pointed her left hand at Yang Chi'an, and stared at him with resentment in her scarlet eyes.
Yang Chi'an was startled when he met her gaze.
"What are you looking at? He's blind! If you keep looking at me, I'll have your eyes gouged out!"
A little peasant woman dares to threaten him!
His father is right behind him! How can he let them bully him?
Yang Chi'an was frightened, and his evil nature was aroused. He shouted in court that he would dig out her eyes.
"Ignoring the law and speaking outrageously, ten slaps on the face!"
Seeing that Yang Chi'an was still so arrogant even after being beaten, Qiao Si gave a direct order to curb his arrogance.
Qiao Si gave the order and the constables immediately came forward to carry out the execution.
Yang Chi'an didn't expect that he would be beaten. He stared with his big eyes and kept winking at his father, hoping that his father would stop him.
As a result, Yang Li just frowned and watched him being beaten, with no intention of saving him at all.
Yang Chi'an was slapped ten times and his face was a little swollen. Only then did he calm down.
Qiao Si's move also means killing a chicken to scare the monkey. The chicken is Yang Chi'an and the monkey is the old couple.
From the beginning of the court session, they kept making noise and interrupting her interrogation.
This is not a vegetable market, so there is no room for them to be so presumptuous.
But the old couple were the victims after all, and she didn't want to take action against them. Yang Chi'an happened to bump into her, so she used him as an example.
After this incident, the court became much quieter.
Qiao Si followed Liu's words and summoned the coroner.
Qiao Er only secretly performed an autopsy on Qiao Si yesterday, fearing that some hidden wounds might have caused his death. However, he did die from being trampled to death, so there was no need for Qiao Er to step in.
The coroner who performed the autopsy was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was not tall, but had a pair of sharp eyes. He looked unkind, probably because he had been dealing with corpses for many years.
He walked forward and bowed.
"I am Xun Quan, the humble servant, here to greet the princess, here to greet the adults."
Qiao Si nodded and asked, "Xun the coroner, what was the cause of his death?"
"My Lord, this man's chest, abdomen, and legs were severely trampled, his internal organs were crushed, and he died from the severe injuries.
This is the autopsy record, please take a look, my lady."
The coroner took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the constable beside him.
The constable then respectfully handed it to Qiao Si, who carefully reviewed the record in his hand.
Yang Li had a bad feeling since Qiao Si started the trial. Now, seeing how Qiao Si questioned the coroner, he was even more certain where the uneasiness in his heart came from.
Looking at Qiao Si's expression, she wanted to punish his son and attack him!
She had done all that, but she didn't care...
He didn't have time to think about it, and quickly gestured to his follower to call Yang Chi'an's lawyer.
I hadn't originally planned to use his power, but now it seems I have no choice but to do something else.
He didn't expect that Qiao Si would disregard his face and take action directly.
"According to the coroner's autopsy report, it can be confirmed that the deceased was killed by being struck by a horse. We have the physical evidence. Liu, do you have any witnesses?"
"My Lady, I have witnesses who were present at the time, and they can all prove that it was he who rode his horse and committed the crime!"
"Someone, come and send the witness!"
While waiting to bring in the witness, Yang Chi'an's lawyer entered the courtroom first.
The man was dressed in a long robe, was quite tall, held a folding fan in his hand, and had a calculating look in his eyes.
He smiled harmlessly, and after entering the lobby, he saluted Qiao Si.
Zhang You looked at him and felt that he didn't look like a good person.
So cunning.
His eyes rolled around, full of calculations.
It seems that Yang Li invited someone to cause trouble.
"Greetings to the princess, greetings to the lord. I am Tan Yi, and I am Young Master Yang's lawyer."
After he finished speaking, he stood up straight and stood beside Yang Chi'an.
He looked so relaxed and at ease, as if this court belonged to his family.
Seeing that he had such a reliable helper, Yang Chi'an regained his confidence and glared back at the woman fiercely with disdain in his eyes.
Along the way, Yang Li's followers reported the news to Tan Yi, and he also joined the team waiting for the "witness".
While no one was paying attention, he secretly gave Yang Li a reassuring look.
Zhang You happened to see it and his right eyelid twitched. He suddenly felt that what was going to happen next was not good.
The witness was a man in his early twenties, dressed in coarse cloth and shorts, who looked smart and capable.
"I, Liu Erzhu, pay my respects to the princess."
The man spoke with an accent and knelt down to pay his respects as soon as he arrived. His movements were more smooth than he looked.
"What is your relationship with the deceased? What did you see that day? Tell me the truth!"
Qiao Si asked coldly.
The man was frightened by Qiao Si's majesty and trembled. He didn't look up, but just knelt there with his head down and began to speak.
"Your Excellency, Tie Niu and I are both from Liujia Village. We work together in town and are considered colleagues.
On the day of the accident, we were moving our things to the street corner to set up our stall. The street was crowded at the time. As we were approaching the intersection, a reddish-brown horse suddenly rushed out from the alley!
I was lucky enough to dodge it, but it was a pity for Tie Niu, who was directly hit by the horse's hoof. Oh! That was horrible! Tie Niu screamed miserably, and when I came to my senses, Tie Niu's leg was broken and he was lying on the ground, which was covered in blood.
