The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

 Chapter 730: Public Trial and Perfect Counterattack (3)

The sound of roosters crowing could be heard in the distance. Xiao Ruiyuan, who had made up his mind, clenched his fists, with a strange light shining in his eyes.

Everything has been arranged, just wait until dawn to defeat the conspiracy of King Heng and the Lin family in one fell swoop. Once the fraud case was over and the two major hidden dangers of King Heng and the Lin family were eliminated, he could go to the Mo family to propose marriage without any scruples. Even if he was beaten up, he would tell everyone that such a beautiful woman was the one he admired, Xiao Ruiyuan. !

 …

Compared to the peaceful atmosphere of Weiyuanhou's Mansion, Prince Heng's Mansion is like a layer of dark clouds that cannot be brushed away.

King Heng, who had also not slept all night, had bloodshot eyes. He stared at the slightly trembling Mr. Lin, and his tone was as sinister as a ghost emerging from hell: "Say it to me again!"

When Mr. Lin heard this, his slightly fat body shook even more violently. He didn't know whether he was afraid of what King Heng would do to him, or because he was afraid of the terrible things that would happen next.

But facing King Heng who was full of hostility, Mr. Lin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered as he repeated his previous words: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Weichen, Weichen sent us to set fire to the prison. People have never, never come back.”

"Snapped!"

  King Heng slapped the table hard, and the corner of the table broke with a crack. He stared at Mr. Lin with red eyes, not caring at all that the person in front of him was his biological grandfather, and scolded him harshly: "It's useless, it can't even handle this little thing, I shouldn't do this." I'll leave this to you, this loser."

Mr. Lin, who was so insulted by his grandson, had a look of embarrassment on his face, but he did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. He argued hurriedly: "Wei Chen sent someone to inquire, and the Criminal Department did not catch the person who set the fire, and that person He is a killer who has been trained by Wei Chen for many years. Even if he is caught, he will not admit that we ordered him to set the fire. After all, things are not as bad as we thought."

"Huh, up to now, you are still making excuses for your stupidity!" King Heng said coldly, not as optimistic as Mr. Lin: "I don't want to argue with you, so you should send someone to find him immediately, especially the prince. Once found, kill him immediately and never teach him to identify me."

Since he has been trained for many years, he will not come back after setting a fire, so he can only be caught. In any case, he cannot be allowed to live.

"Wei, Weichen accepts the order." Mr. Lin felt cold all over, lowered his head and murmured his agreement.

Just as he lowered his head, King Heng left the study room like a gust of wind. Mr. Lin waited for a long time, but did not see King Heng speak. He quietly opened his eyes, but was surprised to find that there was no one in front of him, and King Heng had disappeared.

Mr. Lin was startled and rushed outside to look for anyone, but found no trace of King Heng. He wanted to arrest someone to ask, but found that he couldn't find anyone to ask. At this time, most of the servants in the palace had already rested. Even if they asked, no one knew where King Heng had gone.

Thinking about where Prince Heng might go, Master Lin's eyes lit up and he hurriedly ran towards the Lin family mansion...

At dawn, the students who gathered again at the gate of the palace learned that there was a fire in the prison of the Ministry of Justice last night, and the main figure in the fraud case almost died in the fire.

These students were not stupid, and they quickly guessed that the fire was caused by people with the intention of killing people and silencing them. For a time, the elites were furious. Whether they were students who failed or students who passed the examination, they all knelt at the gate of the palace to petition, demanding that the court immediately put the trial to public trial, severely punish the perpetrators, and restore the Qingming style of the scientific examination.

Many people who originally believed in the innocence of Prince Chu Heng turned to the other side after this incident and began to doubt his innocence. You know, the person most suspected of the fraud case is Chu Heng. If he hadn't been guilty, who would have sent someone to sneak into the cell to kill and silence him?
