"Master Bai, does it have anything to do with whether the girl is married or not? I am here to supervise the case under the imperial edict today. Please, Master Bai, try it concisely and clearly in accordance with the imperial edict."
Taishi Yao's words were obviously a reminder to Bai Chen that the imperial edict had stated that it would be enough to directly convict her of a guilty minister who took personal revenge on the royal family.
Bai Chen glanced at the door again, then frowned, "I haven't brought any witnesses to trial yet, sir, please don't be impatient."
Witness? Su Muer was puzzled.
Bai Chen suddenly slapped the alarm with a sullen face, "Come here, call the witness."
When the voice fell, General Xiao and Lord Sun showed displeasure, but they could only look towards the door.
Su Mu'er also turned around in surprise, and saw Ah Zi dressed in purple brocade and being supported by a girl walking into the hall. Her face showed neither surprise nor joy, and was unusually calm.
This scene shocked Su Muer. She stood up in surprise and said, "Azi."
Azi pursed her lips and glanced at her, her face instantly turned red, but she lowered her head and said nothing.
Bai Chen looked at Ah Zi coming in and asked loudly:
"Azi, please tell me what happened that day."
Ah Zi bowed and bowed, "Sir, Su Mu'er gave me a bag of something that day and told me to put it in when adding vegetables to the dishes. It said it was for freshness. I don't know what it was."
Aqiu, who was standing outside the hall, suddenly became anxious, "Azi, that's seasoning powder. I put it in every time. Only when I was busy that day did the lady give it to you. Don't you recognize it? How could you say that?
Don’t know what it is?”
Azi pursed her lips and blushed, "I really don't know him, I just know it's powder."
Everyone could hear the implication of her words. Su Muer asked her to release this poison, but she didn't know what the powder was.
"Azi, how can you talk nonsense? That fresh powder was indeed given to you by me, and I told you at the time, how could you say you didn't know?"
Su Muer frowned and looked at her and said, "Also, are you getting married so soon?"
"Master Bai, this is a court, not a vegetable market. How can you allow them to chat here and deliberately confuse right and wrong?"
General Xiao couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he saw that Bai Chen never took the gavel to stop Su Muer from asking irrelevant questions.
Grand Master Sun also frowned, "Master Bai, the matter has been found out. This Su Mu'er is obviously making excuses and asks Master Bai to be punished."
Bai Chen was a little embarrassed. He glanced at the door and saw Doudou's big tearful eyes, which made him a little unbearable.
Ye Shihan, why don't you come? That's all my brother can do to help you.
Seeing General Xiao and Grand Master Sun looking at him with sharp eyes, he slapped the gavel hard.
"Su Mu'er, please mark your confession so that you won't suffer physical pain." Bai Chen's eyes were like sword light, glaring at her slightly.
"Sir, I, Su Mu'er, have behaved upright and I have nothing to admit. I hope you will see clearly."
Facing the screams in the courtroom, she didn't have a trace of timidity or cowardice. Even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn't admit anything she hadn't done. Even if she was beaten, she wouldn't admit it.
.
"If you don't confess, then I can only use torture. Have you thought about it?"
There was a trace of pity in Bai Chen's eyes, but as a government official sitting in the court, there was no reason to be soft-hearted.
Su Muer's eyes were extremely firm. She pursed her lips and repeated word by word,
"I have nothing to admit, please be careful."
"Master Bai, this woman refuses to obey even if she is willing to die. According to the law of the court, she should be tortured and interrogated. Does Master Bai want to show favoritism?"
General Xiao frowned and looked at him, his eyes raised lightly, with a trace of disdain between his eyebrows.
Bai Chen understood that the people sitting in the hall were important officials of the court. How could he, a small official of the Shuntian Prefecture, be offended?
He glanced at the door one last time, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "Here comes someone, I'm going to torture you."
After saying that, the officer brought up the instruments of torture. Mrs. Liu outside the government office could not help but cover her mouth in fear. Doudou took advantage of Yuan Min not paying attention, broke away from Yuan Min's restraints, and rushed to Su Mu'er with short legs.
.
"Mother is here to save you. Don't do this to me."
When Su Muer saw him coming in, she hugged him and said, "Doudou, be good, come to my uncle quickly."
"No, Doudou wants to protect my mother. Doudou won't let them pinch my mother's fingers, otherwise my mother's hands won't be able to be used. Doudou doesn't want them."
Doudou's cry was so hoarse and hoarse that Yuan Min even forgot to pull him up and just stood there wiping his eyes. Mrs. Liu stared blankly at this scene, and all the people outside who came to see the excitement were moved by it.
, wiped away tears one after another.
"Someone, take the child away." Although Bai Chen couldn't bear it, he still shouted angrily.
After hearing this, two officers stepped forward and pulled Doudou out of Su Mu'er's arms. Doudou's screams became even more shrill.
"Mother, please come home with me. Mother, I want you to go home."
Su Muer's face was already filled with tears at this time. She forced out a forced smile and said, "Doudou obey, Yuan Min, take Doudou back."
She shouted these words with almost all her strength. AhZi, who was standing aside, couldn't help but raise her handkerchief to cover her face, not sure if it was to wipe away tears or sweat.
Doudou was tightly held in Yuan Min's arms. Bai Chen angrily slapped the gauntlet and shouted, "Torture."
Su Mu'er was escorted and pushed to the ground. She looked at Bai Chen with dark eyes and squeezed out a sentence through her teeth,
"I, Su Mu'er, would rather die than admit it. Even if I die, I won't admit the things I haven't done."
Bai Chen stared at her. The faces of Xiao Mo and Grand Master Sun didn't look good. This scene was not what they wanted to see. But who made her the daughter of a guilty minister? Who made her provoke the royal family?
people.
The people present felt nothing but sigh.
Her ten fingers were stuffed into the torture device by the officer. Yuan Min quickly covered Doudou's eyes, and Mrs. Liu fell to the ground, unable to speak.
The girls in the braised egg shop were crying, while the servants clenched their fists and watched helplessly.
"Torture."
When Bai Chen squeezed out these words from his throat, the two guards were ready to use force. At this time, someone suddenly shouted:
"Wait a moment, the imperial edict has arrived."
This sound, like a starlight suddenly appearing in the empty night sky, gives people hope.
When everyone heard this, they all looked for fame.
I saw Ye Shihan coming in a hurry with the imperial edict in his hand. He glanced sideways at Su Muer and shouted angrily to the people in the hall with all his strength,
"Bai Chen accepts the order."
This imperial edict made Ms. Liu who was standing outside the hospital breathe a long sigh of relief. Ye Shihan's arrival at least let her know that her words were true and he would definitely help Sanya.
Bai Chen hurriedly walked down the hall and knelt down on the ground. Xiao Mo and Grand Master Sun also knelt down one after another. Everyone present, except Ye Shihan, knelt down on the ground, waiting to receive the order.
