"Who doesn't know that you are the most slutty in the city? If you hadn't been seducing outside all day long, your bastard husband would have been furious to death?"
Chen An immediately retorted and fell into the wrong trap.
When Gu Mengshi heard this, her head buzzed, and her face turned pale with anger.
"You... are simply a mouthful!"
"I'm a slanderer? Don't you know how you destroyed the Gu family?"
Chen An smiled proudly.
Gu Mengshi was not good at words and was so angry that she could not even speak.
Cao Su slapped the crowd on the wall and calmed everyone down first.
Then he asked.
"Chen An, I want to ask you."
"Where were you on the night when thirteen members of the Gu family were killed?"
"Recruit from the truth, don't deceive!"
Cao Su stared at Chen An, and Chen An also looked at Cao Su.
Then Chen An said word by word: "On the night when the Gu family was exterminated, I rested at home and did not go out."
"Is there any witness?"
"My personal attendant can testify!"
As a personal attendant, can this kind of witness count?
Cao Su sneered, although Chen An is young, he is really an experienced person.
His heart moved and he spoke again.
"Okay, then let me ask you again, why did Gu Meng's statement insist that you killed her whole family? She said that you were a strong martial artist and that no one in the Gu family could stop you when you wanted to do something evil. Do you admit this?
?”
Cao Su held the adverb in his hand and stared at Chen An coldly.
Chen An felt a little uneasy and denied: "Sir, it's okay. I don't know this crazy woman at all!"
"You don't know her?"
Cao Su pressed forward step by step, stared into Chen An's eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "But you just said, 'Who doesn't know that you are the most slutty among Dengcheng?' Could it be that you don't live in Dengcheng?"
As soon as Cao Su said these words, Chen An's expression changed drastically.
The onlookers outside the hall were also in an uproar and talking about it.
Chen An suddenly panicked. He never expected that Cao Su would interrogate him like this.
He quickly denied it again: "Sir, even if I know her, I can't prove that the destruction of the Gu family was related to me. That night, I was practicing calligraphy at home and didn't go out at all."
Fight with me?
The more you talk, the more you make mistakes.
Cao Su said indifferently: "What calligraphy are you practicing?"
Chen An was a little confused about Cao Su's train of thought and became even more cautious when speaking.
"You can practice flying white body, sir, why not?"
Seeing his serious look, Cao Su guessed that he must also be able to write in this font.
Then he suddenly changed the question and asked: "Do you know martial arts?"
Chen An expected that Cao Su would ask this question, so he calmly said: "What's so strange about knowing martial arts? There are so many martial artists in the world. Your Excellency, you won't convict me just because I know martial arts, right?"
Cao Su slammed the table and suddenly lost his temper.
"You are so bold and cunning. You dare to talk to me like this. Where are your left and right? Let's fight twenty times first!"
Chen An quickly said loudly: "You can't beat me. I am a scholar. The court has stipulated that the punishment is not as high as that of a doctor. How can you blatantly violate the rules in court?"
"Isn't that reasonable? One moment you are a martial artist, the next you are a scholar. Your court is your home, and you can do whatever you want."
Cao Su was not willing to listen. He gave orders to his left and right officials and insisted on beating him twenty times.
The left and right officers looked at each other, showing poor execution.
Cao Su was a little dissatisfied and glanced at Xu Hua.
Master Xu wiped the sweat from his face and couldn't understand why the court judge would judge him like this.
He said with some anxiety: "Sir, according to the law, it is true that literati cannot be punished openly."
Chen An in the audience became more and more proud and looked at Cao Su provocatively.
"It is true that public executions cannot be carried out, but how can the official authority of the court be trampled on by others at will?"
"Besides, he said he was a scholar, is there any evidence? In court, only evidence matters! Come on, give me a fight!"
Cao Su snorted coldly, he even killed a serious scholar like Shi Tan, why does he still care about a little scholar?
The officers on the left and right had no choice but to bite the bullet and rushed to Chen An's side with rope benches in hand.
Chen An looked ugly.
His veins were exposed and he roared wildly: "You dare to attack me?"
"Do you know who I am, General Beiwu of Lingzhou?"
The elders and heads of the Chen family in the hall also looked ugly, feeling like they were going to be slapped in the face.
If the young master of the Chen family is beaten on the spot, the Chen family will be demolished in the city.
Therefore, the clan elders and family heads could not help but speak.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chen An suddenly moved and "swam" out of the hands of the two guards. His movement skills were actually very good.
When Gu Mengshi saw this, he was greatly stimulated. He showed a look of hatred and shouted: "It's him, it's him, it's his martial arts that killed our whole family!"
Cao Su looked at Chen An with squinted eyes.
When the two officers saw Chen An resisting, they stopped pursuing him.
After all, this is the young master of the Chen family, and they also have concerns in their hearts.
Chen An's lips turned blue with anger when he saw that Cao Su took action immediately and did not follow the routine at all. He was extremely angry.
The Chen family elders and head of the family quickly ran out to beg for mercy.
"Captain Cao, Chen An is young, please keep an open mind."
Young?
Cao Su looked at everyone in the hall coldly: "The decision between right and wrong depends on the human heart."
"Chen An, you are brave. Not only did you not kneel down when you saw me, but you also spoke cleverly and shamelessly in front of the court. I will first convict you of contempt of court. According to the law..."
Before he could continue, Xu Hua, who was beside him, played the role of a henchman brilliantly and added: "According to law, you should be punished with a rod!"
"That's right. According to the law, you should be punished with a rod. I have been fair and honest throughout my life. How can I allow thieves to break the law?"
"Sir, why don't you capture this beast quickly!"
Cao Su shouted loudly, and with a surging momentum, he pressed towards the people in the hall.
When the onlookers saw it, they all cheered secretly.
I thought Lord Cao was really a good official.
The officers on the left and right had no choice but to surround Chen An again.
Chen An was still dissatisfied and roared: "As an official of the imperial court, you do not care about right and wrong in the court, but you confuse right and wrong and make bad remarks. You are simply a cowardly official!"
Cao Su sneered and said: "Well, you dare to speak harshly when you are about to die. I think it is your stubbornness or my stubbornness!"
After saying that, he picked up the gavel on top of the koan and knocked it down hard.
"Snapped!"
This scene looks like a vicious official persecuting an innocent young man.
Two officers approached Chen An and were about to drag him down for execution.
Chen An yelled, fearlessly: "Who dares to make a mistake!"
His whole body burst with Qi, and the powerful aura forced the two guards, who were only at the Qi and Blood level, to retreat continuously, unable to rush forward to complete the task assigned by Cao Su.
"What a brave young man who is not afraid of power!"
At this time, a strong and deep voice suddenly appeared outside the hall.
This voice was obviously silent, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
I saw a middle-aged man holding a long sword floating down outside the hall.
This man is about thirty or forty years old. He is dressed in cloud satin and brocade and has a dignified appearance.
After falling into the lobby, he looked at Chen An, whose face was red and confused, showing a hint of admiration.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the court?"
In the hall, Cao Su slapped the wooden wall angrily, his expression ugly.
When the man in the hall heard Cao Su's question, he sneered: "You are a dog official, you are not worthy of knowing my name. Just because you have some power in your hands, you will indiscriminately try to kill people. What a great official power!"
Cao Su:..........
Before Cao Su could speak, Gu Mengshi in the hall shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The middle-aged man holding a sword in the hall turned a blind eye and stood directly in front of Chen An, holding the long sword in his hand and saying, "How can I ignore this kind of injustice that happened to me today? You are such a dog official, you should know better and hurry up.
....."
Cao Su felt the veins on his forehead beating wildly and couldn't help it.
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly struck a blow and overturned the desk in front of him.
This large desk was pushed away by Cao Su with one palm.
The middle-aged sword-wielding man never expected that Cao Su would take action immediately.
He didn't even have time to draw out the long sword in his hand.
When the desk flew towards me, I hurriedly dodged.
boom!!
I saw the entire table exploded and fell into pieces in an instant.
Sawdust fragments flew into the sky and scattered, and a huge mountain-like figure appeared indistinctly. A strong arm stretched out and grabbed the middle-aged sword-wielding man by the throat.
"you!!"
The middle-aged man holding a sword exclaimed in horror.
There was a look of fear on his face.
In order to wait for him to speak, Cao Su exerted slight force.
"Click——"
The sound of a broken neck was heard.
The pupils of the man holding the sword dilated countless times, and immediately his head dropped, and he was pinched to death by Cao Su...
Cao Su threw the man on the ground casually like trash.
The broken head drooped, almost separated from the body.
The courtroom fell into a deathly silence.
The onlookers outside the courtroom were so frightened that they all took several steps back unconsciously to maintain a reasonable and safe distance.
Chen An was also frightened when he saw it.
He couldn't believe that this master of strength died like this?
How strong does Cao Su have to be? Is he at the middle level?
This guy's behavior was too difficult to figure out. Chen An's heart skipped a beat when he looked at Cao Su, who happened to be looking over at this moment.
"Who dares to dance in front of me?"
"Twenty big boards, execution immediately!"
Cao Su stared at Chen An coldly, as if waiting for Chen An to say "no".
Chen An didn't dare to say no at this moment. He was as obedient as a quail. He was dragged down the hall by two servants who became "like a wolf and a tiger" at this moment, and he was beaten twenty times.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
The sound of the board hitting the meat is like hitting people's hearts.
Some people showed relieved smiles, some were worried, and some were even more in awe of Colonel Cao who was sitting solemnly in the courtroom, and did not dare to take a breath.
