The old Liu couple glanced at Tan Yi and said, "Young Master Yang did give us a bag of money that day."
The crowd below suddenly became excited.
Isn't this just greed? They thought the money wasn't enough, so they deliberately took the person to court. And then, they unexpectedly got exposed!
He is so greedy that he even spared his dead son. He has a black heart and a black liver!"
"Hey! Speak more politely! The matter has not been concluded yet. What makes you sure it was them? Maybe they were forced? Weren't they like this before?"
"That's right. If they came all this way just for money, that's so heartless and snobbish. How could they have such parents and wives? They must have gone to such great lengths to redress their grievances! Otherwise, who would do such a thankless task?"
"Is that what you think? If it were me, I would have said they just wanted more money. Why do you say I'm wrong?"
"Yeah, who knows what they're after? Maybe their son is dead, and they want to get more money than they can earn in their lifetime?"
"How can you talk like that? It's obviously you who have evil thoughts, so you think others are bad too. Don't think everyone is like you!"
"Hey! What did I say? Why are you so anxious? Isn't this all true?
They all said that the person took the money.
You clearly took the money, but didn't treat the patient properly. Now you're trying to scam people with a corpse. You guys who don't know the truth are being fooled. You really are all kinds of people, right?"
"Aren't you a bitch? You just spread rumors about someone when they provoke you? Do you think you can frame them just because you didn't do it?
It's because of people like you that so many innocent people are slandered!"
"That's their own cowardice! What does it have to do with me?"
Here, Mr. and Mrs. Liu changed their attitude and no longer pestered Yang Chi'an.
The crowd watching the excitement in the hall had been instigated by someone with ulterior motives. The arguments were getting louder and louder, and some even started fighting.
Qiao Si looked at the scene that was beginning to get out of control and turned his head to stare at Yang Li.
Yang Li was quite pleased with the chaotic scene.
Qiao Si curled the corners of his mouth slightly and snorted coldly through his nose. His movements were so light that only Jing Zhu and the others who were nearby saw it.
Qiao Si turned around and gave Jingzhu and Dongmei a wink, and Jingzhu immediately brought a few constables around to the hall.
Jingzhu had long been keeping an eye on the bad apples in the crowd. Now, after leading his men over, he led the constables to capture those people in a lightning-fast manner.
Those people still wanted to struggle and resist, and even shouted that Qiao Si was abusing lynching and beating civilians.
Jingzhu stood in the distance and gestured to Qiao Si.
Qiao Si slammed the gavel and raised his eyes again. The sharp edge in his eyes shocked the noisy crowd.
Jingzhu brought those people over, and Yang Li's group were silenced by Qiao Si's action.
"This princess is trying a case, and you guys are singing brilliantly! You're deliberately stirring up chaos and provoking trouble. You're so loyal, how could you destroy my Prince Qiao's mansion so easily?"
Qiao Si looked at Yang Li without fear.
"Why? Lord Yang's hand is so long? He wants to stir up trouble in Dingzhou?"
Yang Li did not expect that Qiao Xiting would find out that he had sent people to disrupt the situation, nor did he expect that Qiao Xiting would directly make what he had done public.
But after all, he has been working in the officialdom for more than ten years, so how could he be afraid of her?
"What are you talking about, Princess? I've just arrived in Dingzhou and I'm unfamiliar with the place. How could I possibly mess things up?"
Qiao Si seemed to have heard something funny, with a hint of sneer on his face. "Master Yang, why are you pretending? Aren't these all your doing? I guess Master Yang doesn't know my methods, so he keeps doing these little tricks again and again."
As Qiao Si spoke, he slowly glanced around the hall and said slowly, "This princess has always disdained this kind of behavior. Don't you all know the new prefect a few days ago?"
She chuckled and looked at the people who were brought up with a playful look.
Jingzhu received the signal and took out a dagger from somewhere and directly stabbed the person next to her who had just shouted the loudest.
Blood gushed out, and his accomplices were so scared that they wanted to escape, but they were held down by the police.
Stimulated by a strong desire to survive, they knelt down and kowtowed to Qiao Si, telling him everything that someone had paid them to say so.
Seeing that they revealed everything he had sent people to do, Yang Li had to be serious.
What a good trick to scare the tiger.
Use thunderous means to shock everyone, including himself.
Yang Li didn't want Qiao Si to follow the clues and find out about him, so he gave Tan Yi a fierce look, asking him to come out and interrupt quickly.
Tan Yi hurriedly bowed to Qiao Si and said, "Princess, this case has not yet concluded. It is better to continue the trial."
Qiao Si saw Yang Li's intention. She was just trying to scare him and would not waste too much time on it.
She looked towards the audience, "In that case, it would be better for those who are not involved to keep quiet during the trial. Come, take those people away."
Jingzhu quickly took people to clean up the body, then dragged the rest of the people away and took them to the yamen prison.
Where had the Liu couple ever seen such a scene? Who could have imagined that the Tian of Dingzhou would be such a domineering person! If she knew that they were bribed... They no longer dared to look at Qiao Si, but just lowered their heads and said nothing.
Liu watched Qiao Si's actions in silence... Her initial hesitation now grew even more resolute. The look she gave Qiao Si was stubborn and intense, impossible to ignore.
Qiao Si naturally saw that she had something to say, so she asked, "Liu, do you also think that Yang Chi'an has nothing to do with your husband now?"
Liu knelt straight, her back, which had been bent, straightened again, and said in a serious voice: "I don't recognize you!
Yang Chi'an definitely killed my husband! We can't just listen to Liu Erzhu's one-sided account of what happened that day! He definitely didn't say that before, otherwise I wouldn't have asked him to be a witness!
"I know my status is low, and some people can easily take my family's lives with just a wave of their hands, but I cannot swallow this breath! I don't want my husband to die with hatred! I only ask for justice! Please, Princess, make the decision!"
She kowtowed heavily, and when she raised her head again, her forehead was red and swollen.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu didn't expect her to be so stubborn. Aunt Liu wanted to stop her, but she waved her arm away.
Old Liu was already cursing in the back, "You're going to kill our whole family!"
Since ancient times, countless people have tried to shake the status of those nobles, but only ended up with the disaster of extermination of their entire family.
They are just ordinary villagers, how can they get ahead of the powerful governor of Tuozhou?
Mr. and Mrs. Liu naturally wanted to seek justice for their son, but compared to justice, staying alive was more important. Moreover, they had an unborn grandson, so how could they fight against a rock with an egg?
