Wang Bao looked him up and down, and sneered: "You are quite brave, you dare to call Magistrate Li by his name like that, but I warn you, if you don't want to lose your life in vain, you'd better be more honest, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to lose your life again."
You can’t even come back from this cell.”
Hongli stared at him and said, "You mean Li Shiyao will kill me?"
Wang Bao snorted and said: "I didn't say anything, just take care of yourself and leave quickly!"
When Hongli and the others were pushed out of the cell, Xiayue and the others also walked out and were escorted by the jailer to the court. Nanny Lin and Qian Qi were already there. Seeing them coming, she smiled slightly and walked over to the court.
Qiao Yan'er
In front of him, he caressed her cheek and said: "Look, I've only been locked up for one night, and I've lost a lot of weight. It's really pitiful. You said it would be great if you went back with me obediently. How many ginseng and bird's nests are there for you?"
eat."
Qiao Yan'er stepped back to avoid her hand and gritted her teeth: "No matter how good your food is, I won't eat it."
Nanny Lin was not bothered by her rebuttal, and said with a smile: "I'll let you use your words for a while. When I get back to Wanhua Tower, I will have plenty of ways to make you obedient!"
Xianyue took Qiao Yan'er's sweaty hand and said coldly: "Are you so confident that you can take Yan'er back? Maybe... you will lose!"
"Losed?" Nanny Lin covered her lips with a sweet smile and rolled her eyes lightly as she said, "To be honest, I really haven't thought about this word."
While he was talking, some officials came into the court from both sides holding water and fire sticks. After they lined up and stood in line, they shouted in a long voice: "Shengtang!"
Following these two words, a middle-aged man wearing a fourth-grade official uniform and a beard walked out of the inner hall. It was Li Shiyao, and there was a master beside him.
After Li Shiyao sat down in the chair, he saw Hongli and others standing motionless. He felt displeased. He slapped the wooden door and said solemnly: "Who are you standing next to? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
"
After experiencing what happened yesterday and what Wu Xu said, Hongli felt very disgusted with Li Shifu and sneered: "Since I was born, except for my relatives in heaven and earth, I have never knelt down to anyone.
.”
"Bold!" Li Shixun had only seen Hongli once from a distance, so he didn't recognize that the person standing underneath was the emperor he had wanted to see these days. He shouted: "Now that you have entered the Yamen, you should bow and kneel down.
, Unless..." He looked at Hongli and said uncertainly: "You have a reputation?" If that was the case, he wouldn't be able to force him to kneel down. After all, it would be troublesome to make a fuss.
"There is no fame." Hongli's answer made Li Shifeng feel relieved. He slapped him hard and said: "In that case, you will kneel down immediately, otherwise I will punish you for contempt of court!"
"Master Li has such great official authority." Hongli sneered: "Let me ask you, we saw injustice on the road and rescued each other in a just way, why did you catch us and put us in prison without any explanation? It's the Wanhualou people.
The old madam forces a good girl into prostitution, but nothing happens."
Hearing this, Capt. Zhao quickly came out and said: "Sir, at that time the people from Wanhua Building came to look for me, saying that they had forcibly taken away the girl in the building. After I went to me, I found that these people had an arrogant attitude. They not only ignored me.
They persuaded and even threatened them. I was afraid that they would cause trouble if they stayed in the city, so I took them back to the government office and temporarily locked them up in jail to await your interrogation today."
"Okay! Okay!" Hongli clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What does black and white mean? I finally get to see it today!"
Li Shixun was already disgusted with him, and when he heard his sarcastic words, he felt even more displeased. He yelled, "How dare you, who are you? You dare to talk nonsense in court?"
Xianyue went to the preface and said: "My husband's surname is Hong, ranking fourth, so we are called Mr. Hong. In fact, we are just ordinary people, nothing special. Instead of caring about us, sir, it is better to try this case carefully and save this poor man."
The girl delivers justice!"
Li Shixun said with a serious face: "Since you are an ordinary citizen and have no fame, you should follow the rules and kneel down to answer!"
Seeing his appearance, Hongli was filled with anger. Five years ago, many officials recommended Li Shihui, saying that although he had extraordinary abilities and a clear government and caring for the people, he asked him to fill the vacancy of Hangzhou magistrate. Unexpectedly...
It’s really irritating that he’s such a arrogant guy!
Xianyue saw Hongli's chest rising and falling slightly, knowing that he was already angry. She was worried that if the stalemate continued, her identity would be exposed, so she hurriedly thought of ways to get out of the predicament at hand.
Li Shifeng waited for a while but saw no movement from them. He felt angry and said sternly: "Come here, make them kneel down!"
"Wait a minute!" Xianyue said: "We are just watching. There is no law that stipulates that those who watch must kneel down."
"Onlookers?" Facing Li Shikun's confused gaze, Xianyue followed the method she just thought of and said, "Yes, in the Wanhualou case, Nanny Lin and Qiao Yan'er were the ones involved, and we,
It just happened to happen, so we were involved, but in fact, the whole thing had nothing to do with us, but the adults locked us up overnight and gave us rotten food, which is really unreasonable."
Her words left Li Shiyao speechless for a moment. Before the latter could think of a reply, Xianyue said again: "I heard that the emperor visited Hangzhou on his southern tour. If the emperor knew about this, what do you think he would think?
"
Li Sifeng didn't expect that such a weak-looking woman would say such tricky words, which made him speechless. After a while, he coldly snorted: "According to Capt. Zhao, how long will you wait?"
People took Qiao Yan'er away by force, how can you say they were just watching?"
"Forced?" Xia Yue's eyes turned and fell on Qiao Yan'er, "Is the matter really what the adults said?"
Qiao Yan'er was smart enough to understand what Xianyue meant, and said quickly: "No, I took the initiative to follow you, and no one forced me to do so."
Xianyue smiled slightly, looked at Li Shixun, who had an ugly face, and said, "My lord, I heard that, we really can't bear the word force."
Li Shi was about to get angry, but he was also afraid of making things worse. After all, the emperor had indeed come to Hangzhou. During this period, he had to be extra careful in everything he did and not be careless.
When he was in a dilemma, the master next to him whispered: "Sir, the most important thing now is to solve the Qiao Yan'er matter as soon as possible. We can discuss the rest slowly. Now that these people have arrived in Hangzhou, they will escape.
I can’t get out of your hands, so please bear with me for now.”
Li Shixun nodded slightly, suppressed his anger, and said in a cold voice: "What a sharp-tongued woman, no matter what, I have always been considerate of the people, so I will spare you from kneeling and step aside to listen to the trial!"
