A little cinnabar nevus between the eyebrows

Before Chu Qikang could speak, someone outside suddenly beat a drum, and a person was escorted in by the police officer, it was a woman, followed by a man.

The woman knelt down and began to cry out: "My lord, make the decision for the women."

Wang Zhong patted the gavel: "You are blind, don't you see that I am still trying the case here! Pull it out."

The woman shouted again: "My lord, what the woman told me is related to what my lord tried!"

Lian Chengxie frowned, and another witness came... Qian Mei didn't have much impression of this woman, but the man next to her was kind.

Wang Zhong picked up the woman's case, "What are you wronged, tell me one by one."

The woman finally stopped shouting: "My lord, the husband of the folk woman was originally the sheriff of Qingcheng County, Yanzhou Prefecture. On that day, an opera troupe came. It is said that they sang well, so my master invited them over. I didn't expect that. Hua Dan in the opera troupe became ill-intentioned and killed my master."

Talking and crying.

Seeing the woman crying endlessly, Wang Zhong stopped him: "Don't cry! I ask you what is your husband's name?"

"My name is Li Shikun"

"How old were you when you died?"

"Three out of forty"

"Then that Huadan is?"

The woman looked at Qian Mei standing in the hall: "It's him. I thought it was a woman at first, but I didn't expect it to be a man. No wonder I couldn't find it in Qingcheng County."

Wang Zhong finally asked Qian Yi a word: "Qiantui, what do you have to say to this woman..."

Qian Mei smiled softly: "Jiuyue killed the man, not me. I only have four words to tell the lord, it has nothing to do with me."

Lian Chengxie also stood up when he heard this: "Master Wang, I have something to ask the woman in the hall, I don't know if it's okay."

Wang Zhong nodded: "What does Hou Ye want to ask, please speak up."

Lian Chengxie walked up to the woman: "An actor will not casually kill an official of the imperial court, but there must be a reason for killing your husband in Jiuyue. Let me ask you, what is the reason?"

The woman knelt there and didn't know what to say. A man kneeling next to him spoke up: "My master appreciates Jiuyue's literary talent and wanted to take her as his concubine, but he didn't expect that woman to commit murder."

Lian Chengxie kicked the man to the ground: "Hmph! It's clear that she was robbing the civilian girl, forcing the girl to protect herself, and she said that she appreciates literary talents. Killing the imperial court official is a good idea!"

The woman howled suddenly: "My husband, open your eyes and have a look, you won't be safe even if you die, my lord." She threw herself on the ground and cried.

Wang Zhong patted the gavel: "Women don't cry! Master Li, tell me about my law, what should officials do if they rob women by force?"

Master Li stood up and said, "According to the law, I should be removed from the official position and demoted to the common people, and I will never be an official again."

Lian Chengxie sat in his seat.

The crying woman was frightened for a while and stopped crying, and knelt aside.

Wang Zhong looked at Chu Qikang again: "Even if Jiuyue is here today, even though she killed the imperial court official, she was forced to do nothing, and she would not be given a severe sentence, and the evidence you provided earlier can't prove that Chitose is what you said In September, maybe the two are just similar in appearance. I judge that Chitose was framed by you, you can admit it!"

Chu Qikang endured the pain and knelt down: "Cao Min denies it! Then Shen Cunzhi was originally from my troupe, so he can confirm whether Qian Mei is Jiuyue."

"Troublemaker, Shen Cunzhi is already terminally ill, and medicine is hard to get. How do you ask him to testify!"

Qian Mei's eyelids twitched, and she hasn't seen him for a month, why is Shen Cunzhi dying of illness?

Chu Qikang continued: "My lord, there were originally 16 people in my troupe, and they all knew each other. They are now staying at the Tongzhou Inn. Because someone assassinated me, I have not been in touch with them."

Qian Mei couldn't stand for a while, but she was only sixteen back then, and after two or three years, there were some changes.

Wang Zhong glanced at Lian Chengxie, and felt more and more that this case was not easy to try. The first trial was watched by the princess, and the second trial was watched by Wen Shuanghou, which made him feel like a sharp sword hanging from his head.And the emperor is also watching there, like walking on thin ice like a light on his back!

Wang Zhong bit the bullet and asked, "How many people are there in total?"

"If you go back to the adults, there are five people in total."

"Come on, go to the same boat inn and bring those people!"

Lian Chengxie frowned again. This matter was full of twists and turns, and the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for Qian Mei. Lian Chengxie glanced at the people watching the excitement outside the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and waved slightly to Ru Xinyi who was standing beside her. clear.

Ru Xiyi took another look at Cheng Tianwen who was crowded in the crowd. Cheng Tianwen had been paying attention to Lian Chengxie's movements. Now seeing Ru Xiyi gesturing to him, he looked at the current situation in the lobby and quietly retreated.

When the officials returned, "My lord, the witnesses have been brought"

"Bring it to the hall"

"Yes, my lord"

Those five people came in one after another, one of them was Chen Cuiping, Qian Mei's former half-master, and Song Ping, the most popular old student in the troupe at that time, the other five people were all familiar with Qian Mei.

Qian Mei quietly looked at Lian Chengxie, her face turned gray, Lian Chengxie nodded lightly, signaling him not to panic.

Wang Zhong patted the gavel: "Who are the kneelers? Name them one by one."

After the five people reported their names, Wang Zhong asked about their ancestral home and their current residence. He really didn't dare to ask other questions. If they all said in unison that they knew Qianxie, then the case would simply not be tried. Go see the emperor with your head up!

But what should be asked has to be asked, "How many of you know Chitose-sama!"

After a few seconds of silence, Lian Chengxie couldn't help but squeeze the teacup in his hand, he didn't know how Cheng Tianwen was doing.

I saw several people knelt down and knelt down at the same time, saying that they had poor fortune and didn't know Chitose.

Qian Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Lian Chengxie has helped him deal with these people.

Chu Qikang smiled wryly, it seemed that he had lost, forget it, he had already lost from the beginning, so why bother to linger.

Wang Zhong questioned Chu Qikang: "Chu Qikang, what else do you have to say?"

Chu Qikang knelt on the ground and said nothing.He suddenly had the urge to die, but suddenly he saw Qian Mei was looking at him, there was no hatred in his eyes as he imagined, and there was even a trace of pity in his eyes, which made Chu Qikang swallow the words that came to his lips.

Wang Zhong asked again: "What else do you want to say!"

"Grass people have nothing to say"

Wang Zhong's heart finally fell back: "So you admit to falsely accusing Chitose?"

"Yes……"
