Just after noon, Su Liyue was brought to the lobby of the Jingzhao Prefecture government office.
Perhaps because of the seriousness of the matter, the trial was open to the public.
As soon as Su Liyue appeared, the people outside the hall began to denounce her, calling her a witch and demanding her death.
Some of the insults were also heard.
Everyone in the hall had different expressions, but it seemed that they had gotten used to hearing these remarks in the past few days, so they were all relatively calm and composed.
However, subconsciously, everyone's attention fell on Su Liyue and Ye Cangming.
Su Liyue also had a calm expression at this moment, as if the person being talked about was not her.
Look at Ye Cangming again... He was wearing a black mask, his eyes were as cold as ever, and no one could tell what he was feeling.
But, just when the people were cursing fiercely.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" and the whole place fell silent.
Everyone present was attracted by the sound and looked in the direction of Ye Cangming, only to see that the coffee table beside Ye Cangming had already been shattered into pieces.
Everyone: “…”
Ye Cangming glanced at the people outside with indifference, and then said to Chu Tianhe in a domineering tone, "Open the court."
Chu Tianhe: "...Go to court."
The gavel rang and the court rose.
Although Ye Cangming didn't say anything, no one dared to say anything extra at this time, and no one dared to attack Su Liyue again.
The yamen runners quickly cleaned up the broken pieces on the coffee table and brought another one over.
The atmosphere in the hall was still solemn, but the topic was quickly brought to the point.
With Ye Cangming around, even if the prince wanted to say something, he would end up swallowing it down for fear of getting angry to death.
After the court session, Lord Chu presented the evidence: all the deceased had contact with Su Liyue through time and space.
Su Liyue: “…”
She never expected that it would be such a lame excuse.
However, Su Liyue continued, "I have countless interactions with countless people every day. If I were a demon woman, the fact that only a few people have died would mean that my magic is too shabby to be used in a formal setting."
Lord Chu: “…” Although Su Liyue was telling the truth, Lord Chu still felt choked.
Next, it’s Xiaowu’s turn to appear.
No one knows who leaked the fact that Xiaowu was once poisoned by a Gu and it was Su Liyue who cured him.
If you know how to remove poison, then you naturally know how to use it.
This is everyone's stereotype.
Su Liyue did not hide this, "If doctors don't study Gu techniques, once the Gu tribe arrives, you'll probably just be waiting to die."
This is an admission.
However, these words were too straightforward and choked people again.
For a moment, Lord Chu didn't know how to continue the trial.
After all, in his opinion, Su Liyue could not be a member of the Gu Clan. In fact, his heart had long been inclined towards Su Liyue. It was really difficult for him to be the presiding judge at this time.
For a moment, there was silence in the hall.
At this moment, the prince of the clan saw something was wrong and finally lost his temper. He glared at Su Liyue, "Even if these can't prove you are the murderer, can you really prove you are not? Looking at the entire capital, all I know is that you can use Gu. How dare you quibble?"
Su Liyue wanted to roll her eyes at this bandit logic.
At this moment, a person appeared in the crowd.
This person was none other than Master Jingqing who was beside Master Huian.
Seeing Master Jingqing, the prince's eyes lit up and he pointed at Jingqing, "You, come over and tell me."
Jingqing walked slowly to the center of the hall, bowed to everyone, and then said, "I am here to bear witness."
As she spoke, Jingqing glanced at Su Liyue before she spoke slowly, "Since the last disaster, the host hasn't seen anyone else except Princess Zhan."
These words were almost pointing fingers at Su Liyue.
Ye Cangming's gaze fell on Jingqing, then looked at Su Liyue. His eyes were deep, but he said nothing, just waiting to see how Su Liyue would speak.
It was because Su Liyue looked calm and did not seem to be panicking about being accused.
Su Liyue looked up at Jingqing after making sure she had finished speaking. "According to what Nun Tai said, since you serve Nun Tai Hui'an every day, don't you think you have the best chance?"
However, before Jingqing could say anything, the prince became angry again, "Su Liyue, stop it!"
Upon hearing this, Su Liyue looked at the Zongqin Prince without hesitation, "In my opinion, Zongqin Prince, you should stop."
Seeing the Prince of the Zong clan was furious, Su Liyue didn't give up. Instead, she said coldly, "Anyone can see who the Prince of the Zong clan cares about. You should also know in your heart without me saying anything. If it weren't for me, how could Master Hui'an have had the opportunity to encounter this?"
Hearing this, the prince did not calm down, but seemed even angrier. "How dare you mention this? This is all your conspiracy, isn't it?"
Su Liyue: "..." She chose to keep silent.
If you don't agree, there's no need to talk too much.
Especially to the old stubborn man whose brain was filled with water, she had nothing to say.
Su Liyue just looked at Jingqing and saw that Jingqing still had a calm expression.
Su Liyue withdrew her gaze, her face calm, thinking about how to break the deadlock today.
Since it was a court hearing, she absolutely could not let it be ineffective. She would not go back to that cell anyway, so whoever wanted to stay there could stay there.
She was confident enough to prove her innocence, but she had to buy some time. After all, it looked like Cheng Jinwu wouldn't be able to come over for a while.
At this moment, Ye Cangming slowly spoke, "As far as I know, these deceased people have one thing in common."
Su Liyue looked up at Ye Cangming, and then their eyes met.
But this time there was no such passionate and romantic feeling, only the calmness in each other's eyes.
"I have checked these deceased people and found that they all went to Puhuai Temple within seven days."
Although it is a royal nunnery, some women still go there to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Although the deceased included both men and women, in addition to those who burned incense and worshipped Buddha, there were also people who delivered food, accompanied the deceased, and drove the car.
In short, the identity of the deceased is different, but he has indeed been to Puhuaian.
Su Liyue understood Ye Cangming's meaning immediately. Although she was a little confused, she quickly responded, "Then we need to see who they have met in Puhuaian."
As she spoke, Su Liyue once again looked at Jingqing with a half-smile, "Could it be that they have also met Master Jingqing?"
Hearing this, Jing Qing's calm expression finally changed. She frowned and looked at Su Liyue, "What do you mean, Princess Zhan?"
Su Liyue gave Jingqing a meaningful look, "What does it mean? You'll know in a moment."
