Before leaving, the wise king ordered people to seal up the Jinfeng Tower. The Jinfeng Tower was quickly sealed and no one could enter.
After King Xian brought all relevant personnel to Jing Zhaoyin, he immediately began to examine the case.
Before the trial, King Xian asked Chief Wang to draw up an official document and asked the officials to take the official document and arrest Zhou Zhiyuan, the magistrate of Shili County.
After the official missions departed, King Xian began to handle the case, while Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue sat on both sides of the courtroom to watch the trial.

Not long after, this matter reached the ears of King Rui.
King Rui heard about this from his confidants and was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table with a sinister look on his face: "He Chu Xuanchen and Chu Liuyun, how dare these two people ruin my good deeds?"
, they simply don’t take this king seriously.”
Princess Rui Zhou Jingyi stood next to her and hurriedly brought a cup of tea to Prince Rui. She said with cold eyes: "My lord, please calm down. Now Prince Li has evidence against us. We should clear the suspicion first to prevent this matter from spreading to the public."
I will take it out of the Emperor's ears. I will take my time to avenge other revenge later."
Prince Rui nodded gloomily: "The princess is absolutely right. I didn't expect Chu Xuanchen to be so powerful. He even found out Zhou Zhiyuan and Master Zhang! Especially Master Zhang, he is my king's man. Once he
If you get caught, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Princess Rui said sinisterly: "Yes, these are our businesses. Once they catch Master Zhang, it will be very detrimental to us. Fortunately, Master Zhang's family members are in our hands."
Prince Rui nodded: "Now that Master Zhang has been confessed, this person cannot be kept!"
"Your Majesty, do you want to kill him to silence him?" Princess Rui said gloomily.
Prince Rui shook his head coldly, "How is it possible? How is it possible to kill such a good scapegoat? Jingyi, go talk to Director Zhang and negotiate the terms. I will personally escort him to the government."
Princess Rui smiled coldly, "Your Majesty, this is a clever move. When the time comes when your Majesty kills his relatives out of justice, others will only praise you for your integrity, while Chu Xuanchen and Chu Liuyun will not be able to do anything to you."
Having said this, Princess Rui said again: "Your Majesty, I will go and handle this matter first. You wait for the good news about me."
"Okay!" King Rui said.
-
Soon, Princess Rui will be back!
As soon as he saw her coming back, Prince Rui said, "How's it going, Jingyi, what did Master Zhang say?"
Princess Rui smiled proudly and said: "With me taking action, he must be obedient! I told him that as long as he is willing to bear these charges, Prince Rui's Mansion can keep his family safe. Before it happens, I will give him
My family has 30,000 taels. After the matter is completed, I will give another 20,000 taels, making a total of 50,000 taels. When he heard that there was so much money, he immediately agreed to take the blame. As for the 30,000 taels that I gave him first, I already gave him in front of him.
, asked someone to send it to his family, I believe he will never betray us!"
Prince Rui patted Princess Rui on the shoulder and nodded appreciatively to her, "Jingyi, you did a good job. If he didn't admit the crime, he would be dead. Now that we can keep his family safe for the rest of his life, of course he will plead guilty.
"
Having said this, he said to the attendants outside: "Come here, arrest Master Zhang for me. I will personally take him to Jing Zhaoyin!"
"Yes, Your Majesty," the attendant said.
Seeing this, Princess Rui covered her mouth with a handkerchief and looked at each other with a cold expression on both of their faces.

Jingzhao Yin Lobby
At this time, the wise king had roughly reviewed the ins and outs of the case.
He looked at Ru Xiang and the thugs in the hall, and said coldly: "Ru Xiang, you and these thugs robbed women, abducted them, and forced them to receive guests in Jinfeng Tower. You are also suspected of trafficking in women and children. You
What crime should be committed?”
Na Ruxiang did not see Zhang Yuanshan coming, so she refused to plead guilty.
She shook her head and said: "Sir, please calm down, the women are unjust! These girls all voluntarily sold themselves to Jinfeng Tower in order to make money. The women never forced them! If you don't believe it, you can go to Jinfeng Tower to check. I still have it there."
They have a contract to sell themselves!"
As soon as these words came out, the girls kneeling next to them all yelled angrily: "You are lying! We were all deceived and abducted by you, and we did not do it voluntarily at all!"
"Please be clear, sir, they forced us to sign those deeds of prostitution, we did not do so voluntarily!"
"Sir, we are girls from an innocent family. We were all forced. Many of our good sisters were tortured to death by them. Please make the decision for everyone!"
Hearing these words, the wise king glared at Ruxiang with hatred and said angrily: "Bold Ruxiang, you dare to deny it when the evidence is solid. Come here, I will give her thirty hard blows first, and then we will try her again after the beating!"
As the wise king spoke, he threw three red dice on the ground. One red dice represented ten big boards, and three red dices represented thirty big boards.
"Yes, sir." After the officials said this, they pushed Ru Xiang down on the stool and began to hit her!
The government officials didn't want Ru Xiang to bully the little girl like this, so they attacked her very harshly.
Soon, those boards hit Ru Xiang hard, causing her to scream loudly in pain. Soon she was beaten with blood and her skin was torn.
When the girls saw her fate, they all felt relieved.
"Prince Rui is here!" At this moment, the voice of a government servant suddenly came from outside.
Hearing this voice, Chu Xuanchen curled his lips with a sneer. He guessed correctly, Prince Rui was indeed here!
I'm afraid, Prince Rui also brought Zhang Yuanshan here.
Sure enough, when King Rui entered the court, Chu Xuanchen saw Zhang Yuanshan being held behind King Rui.
King Xian glanced at King Rui coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Why are the second emperor brothers here?"
Prince Rui hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Prince Xian and Chu Xuanchen, "Brother, First Emperor, Third Emperor, I'm so sorry! I just learned that my retainer, Master Zhang, actually collaborated with the Madam of Jinfeng Tower to abduct a young girl. I was very angry.
I didn’t expect that Prince Rui’s palace, which has always been upright and strict, would have such a person with a human face and an animal heart. After I learned that Master Zhang had committed these crimes, I immediately kidnapped him! Someone, bring him here!”
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Prince Rui said that, the guards from Prince Rui's palace escorted Zhang Yuanshan over and kneeled him on the ground.
Zhang Yuanshan looked around with fear on his face, his whole body shaking violently.
When Ru Xiang, who was beaten and covered in blood, saw Prince Rui, she was shocked.
It turned out that this distant mountain belonged to King Rui, and she had no idea.
So, this Jinfeng Tower is actually the property of Prince Rui. No wonder Zhang Yuanshan, an ordinary person, is so rich. It turns out that he is the chief clerk of Prince Rui's Mansion.
The idea of abducting the girl was Zhang Yuanshan's. Do these ideas have anything to do with Prince Rui?
As she thought about it, her face turned pale and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
If this matter has anything to do with Prince Rui, then she will not survive!
At this time, the wise king of the Rui Dynasty raised his hand and said: "Brother Three Emperors, you are in charge of the trial. Since this beast has been taken into custody by me, I will let you deal with it. You don't have to worry about my face. I want to do this today."
To avenge these poor girls and kill their relatives in a just act of justice, don’t let them go.”
