Qi Zi was speechless. She couldn't think of anything to say to comfort the frowning man in front of her. Didn't Ling Shijun in prison think that if something happened to him, his family would be uneasy?
"I'm sorry, Qi Zi, for letting you hear these bad things about me. You should rest early. I'm going back first." Ling Shiqi said as he stood up.
Qi Zi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you."
Ling Shiqi turned around and glanced at the brocade silk on the dressing table. It was wet when she came back, so she left it there and forgot to clean it up. Ling Shiqi walked over and picked it up to look at it, and said in surprise: "What a delicate handiwork, Qi
Did you embroider this?"
Qi Zi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he immediately snatched the brocade silk from Ling Shiqi's hand and said uncomfortably, "Should I have embroidered it?"
Ling Shiqi looked at her inexplicably, seeing how she nervously grabbed the brocade silk just now, and thought: This must be very important to her, otherwise she wouldn't be so nervous. "Qi Zi, can I ask if this brocade silk is for someone else?"
?still……?"
Qi Zi was asked, and she didn't understand why she was so nervous about the brocade silk. When Xuan Yi gave it to him, he asked her whether she would choose the purse or the brocade silk. In the end, she held both pieces in her hands without making any decision.
Seeing that Qi Zi was speechless, Ling Shiqi's heart ached. He concluded that Qi Zi had something to do, but it was not convenient to ask at the moment, so he had to say: "I'll leave first, you can rest."
On the way back to his room, his mind kept flashing back to the nervous look on Qizi's face when he snatched the brocade silk back just now. He thought that the brocade silk must have special meaning to her. Could it be some kind of love token? If that's true.
, could that be the reason why she accepted him? What on earth was she hiding from him?
The next day in the lobby of the Zhou Mu in Luozhou City, Mrs. Zhang and her daughter were kneeling in the hall. There were many people around the door. People came to watch with different attitudes. People were whispering and pointing at Ling Shijun. Zhou Mu
The adults slapped the alarm, and everyone around became quiet. The Ling family was in the crowd, watching nervously. Qi Zi held Su Yueling's hand tightly, and turned his head slightly to see that Defu was also in the crowd.
In this case, Xuan Yi must have known about this.
"Ling Shijun is so bold. He dares to kill people in the street. Tell the truth about what happened." Mr. Zhou Mu said loudly.
Ling Shijun said with a scoundrel look on his face: "Sir, I didn't kill anyone." He pointed at Zhang's mother and son and said, "They wronged me."
Mrs. Zhang cried and said: "Sir, my husband was definitely beaten to death by this gangster in the street. The neighbors around can testify. Please investigate clearly."
Mr. Zhou Mu patted the gavel again and said, "Miss Zhang, please tell me what happened."
Miss Zhang wiped her tears and said: "Yes, sir, yesterday morning, my father had to go to the store to do some business. I pestered him to take me out. In desperation, my father couldn't resist, so I agreed. When we got to the store, we went to the store.
After finishing the work, the maid Dong'er took me to a stall on the street to choose rouge and gouache. I didn't want the second young master of the Ling family to come and tease me. The little girl started to persuade me with nice words, but I didn't want the second young master of the Ling family to get more and more aggressive.
I insulted my little girl in public. My father came out after finishing his work and saw it, so he argued with Mr. Ling. Unexpectedly, he...he...actually beat my father to death."
"That's right, sir. Is your body still open with eyes closed? Please make a decision for us orphans and widowed mothers." Mrs. Zhang burst into tears again.
The crowd at the door also became excited and shouted: "Scum, kill him, kill him."
Mr. Zhou Mu clapped the gavel again and asked: "Ling Shijun, what Miss Zhang just said is true."
Ling Shijun said with disdain: "So what if it is, so what if it's not."
Master Zhou Mu sneered: "If so, just sign and pledge it."
Ling Shijun said angrily: "What did I sign, what did I draw, they framed me, mother and son, who saw me beating her father to death, who saw it? Who saw it?"
Two men and two women walked out of the crowd and knelt in the hall and said, "Sir, we all saw that it was Zhang Yuanwai who was beaten to death by the second son of the Ling family."
Master Zhou Mu asked: "So, you are willing to be a witness."
"Yes, my lord."
"Okay, let's talk about it." Zhou Mu raised his hand and the master sitting next to him started writing.
Man A said: "Sir, my name is Li Zhuzhu. Yesterday morning I went to the street to sell firewood. When I passed by, I saw Mr. Ling beating Zhang Yuanwai."
Otome said: "Yes, sir, I went shopping with my mother yesterday, and I saw Mr. Ling beating Mr. Zhang very hard."
Man B said, "I sell pork. I saw that Mr. Ling was the first to strike Zhang Yuanwai, causing Zhang Yuanwai's mouth to bleed."
Ding Nu said: "Sir, I am the owner of the rouge and gouache stall. Miss Zhang and the maid came to choose something, and then Young Master Ling came forward to tease her. I saw with my own eyes that he knocked Zhang Yuanwai to the ground."
Mrs. Zhang and her daughter cried even harder. Mrs. Zhang said, "Sir, did you hear this? I beg you to make the decision for the women of the country."
"Ling Shijun, there are so many witnesses, do you still want to deny it?" Master Zhou Mu shouted.
Ling Shijun stood up and pointed at Mr. Zhou Mu and said, "So what if it's true? It's just one person. My family has plenty of money, so why can't we buy his life?"
Liu who was watching heard this and fainted in public. Ling Nian and Ling Lizhen hurried back.
"Ling Shijun, if you know your mistakes and do not correct them, and you are not ashamed of your words, and you still dare to despise the court, I will immediately write to the Ministry of Punishments and sentence you to execution within a month."
"What, you dare to kill me, you kill me too, my brother will not let you go." Ling Shijun roared.
"Come here, take him down and put him in prison. No one is allowed to visit him without my order."
The officer pulled him down. Ling Shijun saw Ling Shiqi in the crowd and shouted: "Brother, save me, save me quickly."
The crowd was almost gone. Qi Zi looked for Defu. When did he leave? At this time, he might have reported the situation to Xuan Yi. It won't take a month at all. The results will come out soon. It seems that Ling Shijun
This time there is no escape.
Ling Shiqi stood there, and Xiao Yunsheng came to meet him from the front. Xiao Zhicheng's face was full of insults.
"Master Ling, it's a pity to see your younger brother come to court. It seems that it won't be long before he goes to see your father." Xiao Yun said with a raw smile.
"Mr. Xiao, why do you say that my second brother is not on good terms with you? Are you willing to die without saving me?" Ling Shiqi said.
"Young Master Ling is too generous. I don't have that much ability, unless..." He looked directly at Qi Zi, took a step forward and said, "Miss Yang, Xiao Yunsheng is polite."
Ling Shiqi immediately stood in front of Qi Zi and said, "Master Xiao, what do you mean?"
