Vol 2 Chapter 55: hearing
Lian Youyou dressed in white and entered without rushing, attracting everyone's attention. Everyone was wondering who this mysterious woman who went straight into the hall was.
Fu Mingsu was slightly surprised when he saw her again.
When I saw Lian Youyou for the first time that day, I thought she was a rascal.
But today I saw Lian Youyou for the second time, but she carried a masculine chic on her body, just like a white lotus descending from the mountains to the mortal world, amidst the beauty, there was an arrogance and wildness that Chi Lian at home did not have.
"Why did you come here?" Fu Mingrui stepped forward and asked softly. Today's Lian Youyou made his eyes shine, and he always felt that she gave people a different image by changing her attire. Today, she looks like a courtesan, with a heroic spirit.
Lin Tingjun behind Lian Youyou glanced at him, took the dining basket from Lian Youyou's hand, Ti Wanqing stepped forward, and made Wanqing kneel in the center of the hall.
"Let's go, let's go."
Yao Guang looked at everyone and reminded Duanmu Qingchen.
From the moment Duanmu Qingchen saw Lian Youyou, he kept looking at him with one hand on his face, his face was full of comfort, and he himself wondered why this Lian Youyou didn't look amazing, but he couldn't get tired of watching it for nothing?
When Yao Guangda reminded Duanmu Qingchen, he still maintained that posture, squinting his peach eyes and smiling at Lian Youyou.
The atmosphere in the hall became a little awkward. No one dared to say to the prince: Hey, have you seen enough? ! It's time to start the class, everyone is still waiting to hear the story!
Seeing Duanmu Qingchen's appearance, Fu Mingrui also frowned. But monarchs and ministers are different, even his good friend dare not remind the prince in front of the court, does the prince not want to lose face?
Suddenly, Lian Youyou walked directly in front of Fu Mingrui and strode to Duanmu Qingchen's presiding judge's table. Just when everyone thought she might be going to salute the prince, Lian Youyou was caught in Duanmu Qingchen's smiling gaze. , directly grabbed his hand holding the gavel, and slapped it down hard.
"Crack!" A sound woke up Duanmu Qingchen and surprised everyone present.
This woman is so presumptuous and daring, seeing that the prince did not kneel down to salute, she directly "frivolous" their prince's highness!
Wherever Lian Youyou went, there were always people dumbfounded. It's just because her way of doing things is not in line with the rules of this era.
Lian Youyou finished patting the gavel, let go of Duanmu Qingchen's hand and turned around, with one hand behind her back, the expression on her face was chilling and proud: "Eight days ago, Ma Yun, the son of Ma Shangshu, Huadie disappeared, the case today In the public trial, the people are witnesses. The murderer is already in the lobby, and it is this young girl: Wanqing." Lian's deep voice was neither high nor low, but it echoed loudly.
In Lian Youyou's voice, everyone had long forgotten that she didn't salute, as if she was completely attracted when she spoke, and listened to Lian Youyou's narration of the case with full attention.
Duanmu Qingchen couldn't help but sit in a dignified manner, and even touched the little hand that Lian Youyou had grabbed, sneaking up his nose to smell it, it was really fragrant.
Yao Guangren, who sat on both sides of him, straightened his eyes at the same time as Fu Kun left. Fu Mingrui showed an expression of hating iron but shaking his head in disgust.
The expressionless Lin Tingjun's eyes fell sharply on the beautiful Duanmu Qingchen.
At this moment in the main hall, everyone seems to have forgotten that today's presiding judge is the crown prince. Their eyes only followed one person, and that was Lian Youyou.
As Lian Youyou came to Wanqing's side, they also saw Wanqing kneeling in the hall, and they were all surprised.
Immediately, the audience was in an uproar.
"Such a young girl."
"I can't make a mistake."
"Why do I feel that Master Shangshu is more like a bad guy?"
"Pfft, me too. Such a little girl is so painful."
Those who say that Master Shangshu is a bad person are all outsiders.
Ma Guanqun tremblingly looked at Wanqing, furious: "That's...you—killed—my son—sentenced her to die—no! It was Ling Chi—Ling Chi—who didn't scratch her—he didn't avenge my son—you know my son died How miserable—ah—” Ma Guanqun wailed and beat his chest, “My son—alone in the woods, eaten by insects—ah—”
Ma Guanqun's cries made some people outside feel sympathetic, and many people were filled with righteous indignation!
"It's the most poisonous woman's heart!"
"That's right! The little girl didn't learn well, and she actually killed someone!"
"Ma Shangshu is so pitiful, I heard he is an only son, tsk tsk tsk..."
At this moment, Ma Guanqun is undoubtedly the one suffering. The officials in the hall also complained about the injustice for Ma Guanqun, and pointed at Wanqing angrily.
Wanqing knelt in the main hall with a calm expression and flat eyes. At this moment, any abuse was nothing but smoke and dust to her. She doesn't care at all.
Wanqing's calmness and indifference further revealed Ma Guanqun's viciousness. He pointed at Wanqing and continued to shout: "Scratch her—to show the public—"
"Ma Shangshu, please calm down." Fu Mingrui stood beside Ma Guanqun, coldly holding down his agitated figure, "The crown prince has the final say on how this sentence will be sentenced."
"En-en-" Ma Guanqun was out of breath angrily, and could only groan heavily. The servant at the side hurriedly brought tea, in case he really couldn't catch his breath.
Lian Youyou stood in the center of the hall, looking around everyone with a cold face: "Now, let's explain how Ma Yun turned into a butterfly." Her expression was unusually calm, as if she came here today, just passing by to explain.
She raised her right hand, her fingers were slender and white, "Crack!" A snap of her fingers sounded. Lin Tingjun stepped forward, lifted the dining basket and opened it. Lian Youyou took out a small bottle and a boxy pastry box from it.
The officials sitting in their seats couldn't help but poke their heads out of curiosity, and those sitting in the back even stood up.
Duanmu Qingchen was already resting his chin on his hands this time, looking at Lian Youyou's back with a smile, and the white jade hairpin on her head added to her beauty. She's not ugly, she's smart, she can solve cases, her hands are soft and fragrant, how can people not be fascinated by such a woman?
Lian Youyou held up the vial: "Here is honey. Many insects like sweets. You just need to wipe out a word of honey on the ground in advance, and later, the ants will make the shape of this word." Saying this, Lian Youyou put the pastry box He casually placed it on Duanmu Qingchen's desk, then pressed his index finger on the mouth of the bottle and poured it, then bent over to smear it on the lobby.
She stood up and stretched out her hand to Lin Tingjun. Lin Tingjun gave her a disgusted look, but still took out a handkerchief and wiped her fingers.
Immediately, Lian Youyou withdrew her hand, put the honey bottle back in the dining basket, turned around and took back the pastry box: "To save time, we have already made one in the morning for everyone to watch." After finishing speaking, Lian Youyou opened the pastry box, immediately , a black word "Fu" inside made everyone speechless! Some people even have goosebumps all over their bodies!
I saw the word "Fu" in the box trembling non-stop. When I looked carefully, it was densely packed ants gathered together to form the word "Fu". People who are afraid of bugs all felt numb and didn't want to read it again.
