But who could have imagined that something like this would happen today?
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, no one dared to leave.
After all, this prince is unusual.
He is the Li Chengqian who has the most perverse temperament and the boldest behavior.
The fate of the Yangzhou family is still vivid in our minds. Who dares to offend him?
This is his banquet, who dares to mess up easily?
If you show your face at this time, isn't that just looking for death?
In the hall, Zhao Han also gained courage because he had Li Chengqian supporting him.
Immediately, he told everything about what happened in the court that day.
That day.
He took the petition written for him by others and came to the government office to sue the second son of the Sun family, Sun Tingqiu.
However, Deng Xing made excuses one after another and refused to go to court, let alone summon the suspect.
The petition was obviously submitted in the morning, but it was not brought to the court until noon.
However, Sun Tingqiu still did not arrive, only a housekeeper from Sun Mansion came.
"Yohe."
"This is really the first time I've heard of this."
"The government went to court, but the defendant was not present. He only found someone to take his place."
Li Chengqian looked at Deng Xing and said, "Master Deng, you really tried a good case."
After hearing this, Deng Xing felt aggrieved.
He said: "Your Highness, things here are not that simple. The second son of the Sun family really cannot be present."
"oh?"
Li Chengqian tilted his head and said, "Then tell me, why can't the second son of the Sun family be there?"
"Because, my son is injured."
This was not what Deng Xing said.
It was said by the head of the Sun family who was sitting in the crowd.
Seeing Li Chengqian looking at him, the head of the Sun family did not hesitate.
He stood up slowly, glanced at Deng Xing, and then said to Li Chengqian: "The villain Sun Wucheng, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"What you said The defendant, Sun Tingqiu, is the villain’s second son.”
Hearing this, Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes.
"Hey, you are quite brave."
Li Chengqian's voice was cold and he said, "Did I let you speak?"
If it were an ordinary person, instead of quickly kowtow and admit his mistake, he would also have to apologize immediately.
But Sun Wucheng is not like that.
He still looked content and unhurried.
"I spoke rashly, and I just listened to this man's confession."
"I feel like it's full of slander, and I'm actually a little angry."
Sun Wucheng bowed in front of Li Chengqian and saluted, saying: "If I have offended His Highness, I only hope His Highness will forgive you."
"Okay, okay."
"Since the plaintiff and defendant are all here, I will serve as the county magistrate for you today."
Li Chengqian glanced at Deng Xing and said, "Master Deng, I'm going to take over for you. Do you have any objections?"
What opinions does he have?
Besides, Li Chengqian was the prince, so he had a higher official position than him.
Li Chengqian wanted to try the case, how dare he say no?
Of course, what Li Chengqian wanted to hear was not his opinion.
At that moment, Li Chengqian said directly: "In that case, I will ask the Sun family master first."
"You said your son was injured and couldn't go to court, so you asked the butler to take his place."
He looked at Sun Wucheng and said, "Then tell me why he was injured. Is there any evidence?"
Faced with Li Chengqian's questioning, Sun Wucheng remained calm.
"I feel ashamed to say it..."
"Although my Sun family is a small family, we have strict family laws."
"A few days before Lord Deng sent someone to summon me, the villain did some tricks on the dog."
"He was still recovering from his injuries that day and couldn't even move around."
"There is no other way. The villain has no choice but to send the officials in the palace to
Go home and ask for mercy."
"Later, Master Deng felt sorry for Quan Zi, so he asked the housekeeper to attend the ceremony instead."
Sun Wucheng looked at Li Chengqian and said: "Of course, it is also because the dog was injured, so there is no possibility of committing a crime..."
"So, this person is deliberately framing the dog, and I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will find out!"
After hearing these words, Li Chengqian didn't react yet.
Zhao Han on the side immediately became angry.
He said: "You are talking nonsense, he was not injured at all that day."
"I even saw him having fun in a brothel in Yangzhou a few days ago."
Zhao Han said directly to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, it was because I went to avenge that man named Sun that day and was chased by his men that I was able to see you."
"Um……"
Li Chengqian nodded, then looked at Sun Wucheng and said, "How do you explain this?"
"Your Highness."
"You shouldn't ask me this, you should ask him."
"Everything must be based on evidence. Did he really see the dog with his own eyes?"
Sun Wucheng said: "As far as I know, Quanzi is still recovering from his injuries at home these days and has not left the house at all."
"Moreover, he said that day that Quanzi led others to insult his sister."
"I still want to ask, is there any evidence?"
Sun Wucheng continued: "Quazi spent those days lying on the bed at home. His food and drink were brought to the courtyard by the servant at home every day, and he never stepped out of the courtyard."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian laughed.
He asked rhetorically: "What evidence do you want?"
Suddenly, it was Sun Wucheng who lost his ability.
He really didn't expect that Li Chengqian would ask him this question.
He paused and then said: "First, he really saw Quan Zi going to a brothel in Yangzhou."
"Two, he has to provide evidence to prove that Quanzi did insult his sister."
Sun Wucheng faced Li Chengqian and said: "If there is really evidence, the villain will kiss him without anyone else taking action." Beat him to death with your hands."
"It is against the law to kill people at will."
Li Chengqian chuckled lightly, and then said: "But, I have to ask you for some evidence."
"First, you have to prove that the dog you talked about was really at home that night and didn't go anywhere."
"Secondly, you have to prove that the dog in your mouth did not insult Zhao Han's sister."
Li Chengqian directly threw the question to Sun Wucheng.
And what he said was also telling Sun Wucheng.
In this place, I am the boss and you are the younger brother, so don’t be so stupid as to play tricks with me.
When Sun Wucheng was about to speak, Li Chengqian said directly: "Okay, I'm tired tonight, and this is not the place to talk."
"When we talk about business, there must be a place to talk about business."
"Tomorrow morning, we will go up to the hall and let the gongs sound in front of us and the drummers in front of us will make it clear..."
After saying that, Li Chengqian walked away without caring about the expressions of others.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was in a daze.
His Highness' behavior is indeed as rumored, he behaves erratically and has no rules at all.
And after they left.
Sun Wucheng glanced at Deng Xing, an imperceptible cold light flashing in his eyes.
However, he didn't stay too long and left.
Everyone also dispersed one by one as Sun Wucheng left.
The banquet hall that was bustling just now was suddenly filled with only Deng Xing and a few servants.
When those people left, they didn't even say a word to Deng Xing.
In an instant, Deng Xing finally felt what made people feel relieved.
Today, he was just scolded by Li Chengqian for a few words, and he was already in this situation.
If one day he were to be stripped of his official robe, would anyone still say a word to him in this world?
I'm afraid, I don't even have a place to beg for food...
