Shen Huaiting said: "The common people can see clearly that someone has robbed the second young lady, and it was not the second young lady who took the initiative to get on the carriage."
Yuan Hao's expression moved slightly and he glanced at Mr. Zhao who was standing aside.
Mr. Zhao's expression did not change, and he said in a calm voice: "How are you sure that the person who kidnapped the second lady was ordered by Ajie?"
Shen Huaiting said: "The common people don't know who ordered them. They just saw one of the boys with an obvious black mole on his chin."
The boy who was mentioned shrank his neck. He knelt in front of Shen Huaiting. He never met him, but he told him his appearance.
Yuan Chen opened his mouth and asked: "You, the second brother, have always kept these two IDs in your custody. They have never seen anyone else, right?"
Yuan Hao's expression changed and he responded: "Yes."
Yuan Chen nodded and said: "Then these two young men made perjury to frame the second young lady. According to our Beichen law, they made perjury to frame the family of a second-rank court official. How should we deal with it?"
Yuan Hao replied: "I will be punished by being beheaded."
Yuan Chen spoke in a calm voice: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's carry out the execution. It will also let the people see the consequences of perjury!"
He gave the order: "Execution."
The guard was about to torture him with a knife. The two young men wailed in fright and immediately said: "Your Highness, the Taifu asked us to say this. If we don't say this, our families will be in danger. We It’s also a last resort.”
Another person said: "Yes, it was the young master who made us stun the second young lady and take her away that day. The young master had already taken a liking to the second young lady at the Duke's Mansion and wanted to get her!"
"presumptuous."
When Taifu Zhao saw that these two people were betraying each other, he angrily slammed the table and said angrily: "How dare you talk nonsense when you are about to die."
The two boys kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Your Highness, what we said is true."
Yuan Chen said: "I am not the chief judge of this case, so I can't help you. You should ask King Ping to make the decision for you."
After hearing this, the two young men hurriedly complained to King Ping about their grievances.
Yuan Hao had a headache from their quarrel, and he said: "If someone comes, take them down first.
What is being tried today is the Mu Rufeng murder case, no matter what his motive is?
It is an indisputable fact that Mu Rufeng killed Zhao Jie, and according to Beichen Law, he should be sentenced to death."
He said and took out the token on the case.
At this moment, the people watching suddenly became excited: "Mr. Mu is not guilty, let Mr. Mu go."
"We want to sue Zhao Jie for robbing women and oppressing the people."
Immediately, the people broke through the barriers of the guards and rushed in. They knelt on the ground one after another, holding papers in their hands and said: "Your Highness, please make the decision for us. We are all people who have been harmed by Zhao Jie, because the Zhao family is so powerful. We complained to the government and finally ignored it. Now Mr. Mu is doing harm to the people and has killed Zhao Jie, which can be said to have avenged us.
Please also ask His Majesty the Crown Prince to report Zhao Jie’s evil deeds and restore Mr. Mu’s innocence.”
The people knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Please, His Majesty the Crown Prince, make the decision for us and restore Mr. Mu's innocence."
The sound of the mountain roar was deafening. Yuan Chen stood up and walked over. He helped the leader stand up and said: "Don't worry, I will report to His Majesty and investigate the case thoroughly again!"
