Chapter 215 Trial
The plot changed so quickly that they were completely caught off guard!
Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh softly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Then, her face turned stern, and she immediately ordered loudly and decisively: "Come here, quickly capture these people!"
As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, the two guards at the front of the team immediately attacked.
With swift movements, not only did he capture the vicious mother-in-law among the passers-by, but he also controlled the young daughter-in-law who was considered the "victim" by everyone.
[Ah, ah, ah! We're just here to watch the excitement, why are we suddenly being dragged in?] The onlookers panicked, their faces filled with fear, and they wanted to flee the scene in a hurry.
However, at this moment, Chu Ci waved his hand suddenly, and the guards quickly took action and surrounded all the people who were watching the excitement.
"Go report this to the authorities immediately. The authorities will naturally make a fair judgment and determine who is right and who is wrong, and who is true and who is false. The truth will eventually be revealed."
"Yes!" As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, a guard with a sword rode away.
The eldest prince, who was watching not far away, saw Chu Ci control everyone cleanly and neatly, and his eyes flashed with strange light.
His face was filled with surprise and disbelief. He ignored his reserve and hurried to find the Fifth Prince, "Fifth brother, could it be that you already knew about this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship before they appeared?"
The Fifth Prince shook his head slightly and said slowly, "Brother, you still don't understand Chu Ci very well."
The eldest prince frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Are you saying that Chu Ci did all this on his own?"
The eldest prince's face showed obvious disbelief. He continued, "How is this possible? This is too coincidental. How could she have seen in such a short time that there was something wrong with this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship? And how could she have made such a quick and decisive arrangement?"
As the eldest prince spoke, he quickly turned his head and looked at Fan Jingrui intently, as if hoping to get the answer he wanted from Fan Jingrui.
After hearing the eldest prince's words, Fan Jingrui bowed slightly and responded, "Your Highness, Prince of Shu, you must know that we don't have the ability to do anything under your sharp eyes and still remain unnoticed."
Fan Jingrui had an expression that seemed extremely respectful, and spoke in the most submissive tone, words that seemed ordinary, but were actually the most irritating.
The eldest prince was furious.
However, he couldn't find even the slightest reason to refute Fan Jingrui. He felt frustrated and depressed, but helpless.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I want to see if Madam Fan's guess is accurate."
The carriages of the two princes were actually blocked by unknown persons. County Magistrate Zhang Jia was extremely anxious when he heard this.
I wish I could grow wings and fly over to deal with this matter immediately.
Because of this, in just a quarter of an hour.
Zhang Jia, the magistrate of Linwu County, hurried over with a group of yamen runners in a hurry.
Upon arriving, Zhang Jia hurriedly knelt and saluted, saying respectfully, "Linwu County Magistrate Zhang Jia pays homage to His Royal Highness the King of Shu and His Royal Highness the King of Qin."
"Stand up," the eldest prince gestured with a raised hand, then stood up steadily. With a serious expression, he addressed the county magistrate, "The woman claimed she was forcibly abducted to her husband's home and then asked Princess Yixin for help."
"The situation at the time was somewhat complicated... Well, this prince now orders you to carefully examine this matter and investigate the truth thoroughly. You absolutely cannot be perfunctory."
Kidnapped by her husband's family? If it wasn't the King of Shu who said this, Zhang Jia would have slapped him twice. Now she could only grudgingly respond, "Yes."
However, there is no most frustrating thing in this world, only more frustrating.
Just when Zhang Jia was thinking about just dealing with it casually and then letting the matter pass.
Suddenly, Chu Ci said, "Wait a minute, County Magistrate, those two people seem to be in cahoots with this woman. In my opinion, you should arrest them first!"
Zhang Jia was still hesitating at this time, as if he was weighing something in his heart, and a conflicted look appeared on his face.
However, the two people who were pointed at by Chu Ci changed their expressions instantly after hearing Chu Ci's words. They didn't care about anything else and ran away without hesitation.
Now, it is obvious that even the dumbest or dullest person can easily see that there must be something wrong with them after seeing this scene.
"Catch him!" Zhang Jia's face suddenly changed when he saw this. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, he hurriedly gave a loud order.
After hearing Zhang Jia's order, the yamen runners around took action immediately without any hesitation.
They rushed towards the two people who were fleeing like arrows.
With their agility and well-trained movements, they quickly succeeded in capturing the two fleeing men.
Afterwards, they quickly escorted the men over, trotted all the way to Zhang Jia, and forced the two men to their knees on the ground.
Zhang Jia first turned her head slightly, with a hint of caution and care in her eyes, and secretly glanced at the eldest prince and the fifth prince standing not far away.
Then he straightened his body slightly, raised his voice, and shouted sternly, "You bold thieves, what exactly have you done? Why don't you confess the truth quickly? Don't try to hide it, otherwise you will suffer!"
The two people being escorted had expressions of fear on their faces, and their eyes were filled with extreme panic and helplessness.
One of them was trembling all over, and he said tremblingly, "Sir, I am not a thief. I am the husband of Wang Liushi. I am here just to take my wife home."
After hearing what he said, the other person seemed to have found the clue of the conversation and quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, I am Wang Liu's son."
Why would he need to act so secretly to bring his wife home?
After hearing their words, Zhang Jia's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing majesty in his eyes, and his whole aura instantly became full.
He then scanned everyone's faces before demanding, "Who is the Wang Liu they're talking about?"
Wang Liu was completely stunned the moment she saw her husband and son.
Her eyes widened, filled with disbelief and astonishment. She stood there blankly as if she had been cast under a spell. She was so shocked that even her thoughts seemed to have stopped functioning, and she was like an idiot.
In the end, Chu Ci couldn't bear it anymore.
With just one glance, the guard who was holding Wang Liushi down immediately understood what he meant and gently pushed Wang Liushi forward.
Then, Chu Ci spoke slowly, "Sir County Magistrate, this old woman must be the Wang Liu you just mentioned."
