When Liu heard people describe the scene again, she seemed to be back to the day when she learned that her husband was injured. She was panicked, heartbroken, and had nowhere to feel at ease.
I still feel so sad when I think about it.
She sobbed softly, trying hard to hold back her tears, but when she heard Liu Erzhu talk about the tragic condition of her husband when he was hit by a car, she could no longer bear it.
All those pent-up emotions burst out, and she vented loudly, wanting justice for her dead husband.
"Princess! You heard it all! It was him! He brutally killed my husband!
Please, Princess, make the decision for me!
Please, my lady, make the decision for me!"
She kowtowed heavily, her voice hoarse from crying. She did not raise her head, but knelt there devoutly, just wanting justice.
The people around were so excited that their blood boiled, and they all asked Qiao Si to take action.
"Please let the princess decide!"
"Please let the princess decide!"
"Please let the princess decide!"
The loud shouts stirred people's hearts.
Qiao Si picked up the gavel in his right hand and was about to strike it.
Yang Chian's lawyer spoke first.
"Princess! This case isn't over yet! How can you just believe their one-sided story?"
He stood in the hall, and although he bowed and clasped his fists, his posture was indeed malicious.
Qiao Si frowned slightly and asked, "Mr. Tan, do you have any further concerns?"
The people around him gradually quieted down, gossiping in low voices, waiting to see how he would argue.
"Is there really any doubt?"
"That can't be right. Didn't the man make it clear? It was indeed him who hit and killed someone. How could he turn over? If he could turn over, then there must be something fishy going on!"
"Shh, keep your voice down! This is not allowed. Do you want to die?"
"Stop talking, just keep reading and it will become clear."
Tan Yi stood up straight and opened the folding fan with his right hand.
It was written in black on a white background: The breeze comes naturally.
Zhang You looked at the man's pretentious appearance, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she muttered in a low voice that only she could hear, "You're such a pretender."
Qiuyue, who was standing in front of her, paused for a moment. She turned around secretly and asked Xia He in a puzzled voice that only the two of them could hear: "What did you just say?"
Zhang You leaned forward slightly and said, "I said he was really pretentious. He was clearly helping others hide evidence, and yet he even wrote 'Qingfeng Zilai'."
Upon hearing this, Qiuyue turned around and looked at the folding fan in his hand, then turned back and nodded at Xia He in agreement, and replied in a low voice while nodding.
“That’s quite ironic.”
Qiuyue looked at Zhang You and nodded in agreement without saying anything.
She turned around and went back to watch the show.
Zhang You looked at Qiuyue's back and muttered to herself, "Was I really loud just now? How did Qiuyue hear it? This is so embarrassing. I'd better not say anything. This thing has ears."
Zhang You turned his attention back to Tan Yi.
Tan Yi confidently walked to Liu Erzhu's side and answered Qiao Si's question: "My princess only heard them say that my young master hit someone, and this is indeed true. But!"
He paused, stretching out his words. He slowly turned to look at Liu Erzhu and the old Liu couple, and continued word by word, "As far as I know, my son paid compensation after hitting someone that day!
A full ten ounces of gold! Enough to buy the rest of their family's lives!
Liu Erzhu, tell me, is this what I said?"
He slammed his folding fan shut, his tone hardened, and questioned Liu Erzhu directly.
Liu Erzhu met his gaze and was startled.
He knelt there, trembling.
Qiao Si saw his fear and thought he was threatened by Tan Yi, so he spoke to comfort him.
"Liu Erzhu, just tell the truth. This is a court, no one will abuse lynching."
Qiao Si emphasized the words "lynching".
She not only said this to Liu Erzhu, but also intended to scare him.
This is her territory of Dingzhou, and it is not Yang Li's turn to interfere.
Liu Erzhu steadied himself and slowly spoke, "My lord. When Tie Niu was injured that day, that young master... did give him a bag of money.
I remember clearly that when Tie Niu received the money bag, he smiled so happily! He even said, "It's okay, it's okay." The young man left only after seeing him accept the money bag.
After Liu Erzhu finished speaking, he lowered his head and didn't look at anyone.
Liu was the first to move.
She was close and hit Liu Erzhu directly.
"Nonsense! You're talking nonsense! You're lying! That's not what you said before! Why are you lying?!"
She looked crazy and punched Liu Erzhu again and again.
At first, Liu Erzhu just dodged and did not fight back, but Liu was a peasant woman after all, and her hands were strong. He was beaten so badly that he started pushing her.
"I said the same thing before! Uncle and aunt know it! Liu's daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Bah! You must have taken their money! You're lying!"
The two men soon started fighting.
Looking at the situation that was somewhat out of control, Qiao Si slammed the gavel again.
The constables on both sides quickly took action and pulled them apart.
Qiao Si's cold gaze swept across the hall, especially the two of them.
"If you disturb the court again, you will be caned!"
When Liu met Qiao Si's gaze, she calmed down a little and did not rush over to attack.
But she still cried in grievance.
She had clearly made preparations before coming, and there were witnesses and evidence.
They clearly said at the time that they were willing to come forward to clear the name of her husband who had died unjustly.
That's obviously not what I said at the beginning.
They all said that after Tie Niu was hit, he fell to the ground and wailed.
Yang Chi'an did throw down a bag of money.
But Tie Niu was so badly injured that he had no mood to pick it up and look at it.
It was clearly Liu Erzhu who picked it up! It was clearly him who was envious of the bag of gold ingots, which is why he let the man slip away!
Liu Erzhu clearly said that he came to seek justice for Tie Niu!
It turns out they were all lying to her!
He was just coveting the money behind that person and wanted to take a chance. He came here just to make the person behind the scenes pay for him as a witness!
She was wrong...
She shouldn't believe he was trying to help them...
They have been a den of snakes and rats for a long time...
The more Liu thought about it, the more painful she became. She had no ability to stop it. She fainted from grief and anger.
The constable who stopped Liu quickly supported her and looked at Qiao Si for help.
"Come, take Mrs. Liu away and ask the doctor to treat her. We will continue the trial after she wakes up. The court is adjourned for now."
The gavel rang again, and after Qiao Si finished speaking, no one left the court.
They were all waiting for Liu to wake up and were also observing each other's movements.
After Liu was taken away, Mr. and Mrs. Liu also went over to look after her.
Yang Li secretly sent someone over.
After seeing this, Jingzhu calmly sent Xiahe and Dongmei, who were standing at the last position, over.
It was the first time for Zhang You to do such a sneaky thing.
You know what, it's quite exciting.
