"Yes, I have heard that Liu Chi's son is a useless piece of shit who particularly likes to hang out in places of entertainment."

"Yes, I have heard that, too."

"Before, he even tempted my kid to go with him. Fortunately, I usually keep a strict control on him, so he didn't dare to do it. Otherwise, he might have been led astray."

"..."

Listening to the discussions around him, Emperor Xia's expression gradually became serious.

Fu Rong pointed at several other witnesses again.

Every witness present can be said to be a witness, but in fact, he can also be said to be a victim.

After explaining the situations of these witnesses, the official who took the files handed over an account book.

Li Fu took the account book and handed it to Emperor Xia.

"Your Majesty, this is the account book of Liu Chi's corruption." The official explained.

Emperor Xia carefully read the contents of the account book and his expression suddenly changed.

He threw the account book in his hand directly to Liu Chi who was kneeling below.

"With all this irrefutable evidence, how dare you say you were wronged?"

Liu Chi didn't dare to hide and was hit by the account book.

He kowtowed repeatedly on the ground in a panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am truly wronged!"

"Okay, then tell me, how did you get wronged?"

Emperor Xia leaned back with a sneer on his lips.

Ling Yuancheng said: "Your Majesty, I also have witnesses and physical evidence."

"Where are the witnesses and where is the physical evidence?" Emperor Xia said calmly.

At this moment, the look he gave Ling Yuancheng was not very good.

"The witness is outside the hall, and the evidence is in the witness's hands." Ling Yuancheng replied.

Hearing this, Emperor Xia's angry eyes froze for a moment, and his expression became more hesitant.

He didn't expect that Ling Yuancheng and others also had witnesses and evidence.

"Father, I think we should not just listen to one side of the story. What if these witnesses and evidence were forged by someone?"

Seeing that Emperor Xia did not allow the witness to come to the palace directly, Ye Liuwei thought that he had completely believed Fu Rong's side.

So he took the initiative to persuade.

If the witness does not come to the court, then all their preparations during this period will be in vain.

It would have been fine if Qin Yan's plan had failed, but today, they must pull Fu Rong down!

Emperor Xia looked at Ye Liuwei meaningfully but did not say anything.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little tense for a moment.

The Queen said softly, "Your Majesty, I think what Wei'er said makes sense. As for the witnesses and evidence, we must look at them all. If we only believe one side of the story, it is very easy to cause an unjust, false, and wrongful conviction."

Emperor Xia frowned, looked at the queen, and still gave her face.

"That's what the Queen said. If that's the case, then call in the witnesses."

Qin Yan glanced at Emperor Xia who had ascended to the throne.

The corners of his lips raised slightly.

According to the plot she usually read in novels, Emperor Xia's feelings for the Queen might have been shaken...

If we continue with the current process...

Soon, the guards brought in the witnesses from Ling Yuancheng's side.

They have a lot of witnesses on their side, including men, women, young and old.

Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows slightly.

At this moment, there were quite a lot of people kneeling in the center of the hall!

Qin Yan whispered to Mi Qingxue beside him: "I think Dad's case is much more serious than mine just now."

Mi Qingxue whispered to her: "That's for sure! After all, he is our dad, it's normal for him to be more powerful than you."

Fortunately, no one else heard their conversation.

Otherwise I would be speechless.

Since when did the basis for judging whether one is powerful or not be the scale of the trial?

Oh no, there was a third person who heard it.

That's Xiaojun.

The mother tongue in its heart at this moment is speechless...

"His Majesty."

Ling Yuancheng pointed at an old woman who was kneeling closest to him.

"This woman is a neighbor of the old man involved in the land invasion case. She is a widow in their village."

"In fact, the so-called land infringement case is not the case at all. It is that the eldest son of this old man is a farmhand in Lord Liu's house. However, he is always lazy and takes things from the Liu family to his own home."

"Later, the Liu family's housekeeper found out and went to the old man's family to get the things back, but the old man's family was unwilling to do so and some disputes broke out."

"During the dispute, the Liu family's servants lost their temper and this led to the death of the three sons of the old man's family. It was not the reason that Lord Fu Xiang mentioned."

"And the fifty acres of good farmland is the compensation that the Liu family got back for the things that were taken away."

After listening to Ling Yuancheng's story, Emperor Xia was slightly stunned.

Obviously, I didn't expect that there were such inside stories.

He looked at the old woman in confusion: "Then how did this old woman know this?"

Ling Yuancheng didn't say anything, but looked at the old woman.

The old woman trembled and answered in a trembling voice: "Yes, it's because Chen Laosan likes me, but I'm determined to stay faithful to my husband, so I never agreed. In order to make me obey him, Chen Laosan once proudly told me that his eldest son brought back a lot of good things from the Liu family."

This Chen Laosan is the old man that Fu Rong mentioned first.

"I am a woman with a son, and sometimes I need some help from Old Chen. After hearing what he said, I treated him better than before. Later, when Old Chen's family got into trouble, I was not far away, and I heard their conversation at that time."

After hearing what the woman said, Chen Laosan's cheeks turned red and he wanted to refute something on the spot.

But he was held down by Fu Rong who was standing next to him.

He shook his head at him, signaling him not to worry.

He was not in a hurry to say some rebuttal words. Instead, he wanted to see if these people could make up some more outrageous reasons to help Liu Chi get rid of the crime.

Qin Yan blinked his eyes and said, "See? These ways of escaping the crime are quite smart. They are better than the one who pointed out me before."

Mi Qingxue nodded: "It seems that the original plot is better. The additional plot you just added is really a bit stupid."

Qin Yan affirmed: "It's probably because the heroine herself is relatively retarded. Look, almost all of the people who are speaking now are Ling Yuancheng. I guess 80% of these evidences and so-called testimonies are fabricated by him."

It is estimated that what the heroine did was to bring Liu Chi to Ling Yuancheng.

And just gave him some ideas.

She remembered that although this book always liked to show itself as a story about a strong female protagonist, its core was actually a story about a loving wife.
