The fact that the case could almost be decided had even changed its nature, turning it into a murder case of framing.

"Yes!" That's it! Someone must be framing me! " Li Mingyuan seemed to have seen the light of dawn as he stood up from the ground.

"Whap." A crisp sound came from the chopping board, "Kneel!"

All the constables nearby stomped on the wooden staff in their hands. "Wei..." "Martial …" Li Mingyuan lost control of his strength and knelt down once again. His hand grabbed onto Chu Yunge's pants uncontrollably.

"Great Master Qing Tian, now it has been proven that Li Mingyuan was with us three days ago. Can you let this innocent Ming Yuan brother go?"

When Chu Yunge said this, Li Mingyuan ruthlessly tugged at her pants. Could it be that it was because she came in a rush that her father didn't have the time to tell her the whole story? His case was already more than half a month old, how could there be three days?!

"Three days?" The Lord Prefect found a flaw in Chu Yunge's words, "Li Erniu's case was sent on the 26th day of the previous month. During this time, Li Mingyuan has been living in this Ya, and you said that you were together with him three days ago? I'm afraid you have probably just arrived at Greencloud City. "

"No, no, Lord Prefect, you are mistaken. Although it was half a month after the murder, I said that three days ago was not anything wrong, because as long as it was before the seventh day of the month, it would still be counted as three days ago?" Chu Yunge spoke her own words and replied back, but even though she did so, it was too far-fetched.

"You are trying to force the truth!" The Prefect rolled his eyes. Since he was able to say something like that, it meant that she was not familiar with the case. Furthermore, based on his accent, he was not a local.

"Since you said it's a witness and you're on good terms with Li Mingyuan, then tell me about the fifteenth of last month. What did you two do together at the lantern festival?" "Don't think that this official knows nothing about the crime of Li Mingyuan not only killing Li Erniu!"

Fifteen last month? There were no lanterns in the city! He was bluffing, and Li Mingyuan tugged on Chu Yunge's pants again, "Don't …" He had just spoken a single word when she was hit by a wood pillar flying towards him.

"I'm asking for a witness, shut up, Li Mingyuan." The yamen runner immediately went over and pulled Li Mingyuan away from Chu Yunge's legs, covering his mouth at the same time.

Chu Yunge turned her head and nodded towards Feng Yi. This Prefect was someone that could be used, he only needed a little bit.

"Lord, you are abusing lynchings! On the fifteenth of last month, Brother Ming Yuan and I were at a lantern festival, reciting poems and guessing riddles, talking about ancient and modern literature. Even if we have a beauty accompanying us every now and then, it shouldn't be a serious matter! "

Once Chu Yunge's words came out, the people inside and outside the hall started to sigh. Everyone knew that other than the fifteenth day of the first month, there had never been a lantern festival in Greencloud City, let alone a competition where people guessed the riddle and wrote poems.

"Hmph, there's never been a lantern festival in Greencloud City!" You actually said that you and Li Mingyuan were enjoying the lanterns together, what else do you have to say? "

"I …" Chu Yunge was speechless, and angrily pointed at the Palace Chief's head, "You lied to me."

"If you have a clear conscience and answer truthfully, why would I lie to you?" "Also, this young man, did you not know that you are going to jail for falsifying others?!"

Of course she knew! Otherwise, the devil would come and wade in this muddy water.

"Mummy Li is here, Miss Cui Er is here!" Outside the hall, the yamen runners broke through the crowd of people and jogged to bring the two of them into the hall. Chu Yunge turned to look, she had casually said those two, she did not expect them to be true, but this was better.

"This humble woman pays her respects to the great master of the Azure Sky!" Mommy Li and Cui Er both knelt on the ground. For some reason, a bailiff came looking for them.

The Prefect's voice was low. "Raise your heads. Do you know why I have summoned you here?"

The two of them shook their heads. They were both frightened, "No, this humble woman doesn't know."

"Do you know what happens when you lie in court?"

Hearing this, Mama Li and Cui Er, who were kneeling on the ground, bowed their heads, "No no no, this humble woman doesn't dare. This humble woman will say whatever old master Qingtian asks?"

"Alright, then turn around and take a look at these people. Have you all seen them before?" The Prefect pointed to Chu Yunge and the other two as well as Li Mingyuan.

The only thought in his mind was to leave the yamen as soon as possible and point at Chu Yunge, "I have not seen these people's women, but Young Master Ming Yuan often goes to the Ten Thousand Flowers House, a place where commoners live."

On this point, the magistrate continued to ask, "When was the last time Li Mingyuan went to your Ten Thousand Flowers House?"

Mama Li tried hard to remember, and said tremblingly, "Probably... Two months ago. "

Li Mingyuan's eyes widened as he struggled to break free from the yamen runners' restraints, "Prefect, don't listen to her blabbering. I was wrongly accused, I just went there half a month ago!" Li Mingyuan used all his strength to give her mother Li a meaningful glance, but it was as if mother Li couldn't see it. How could she have the guts to lie in front of the court?

The Prefect's Shocking Wood had already been thrown down, and the table was empty. The Prefect directly slammed his hand on the table. Diao Min, what else do you have to say for yourselves? "

Chu Yunge sighed, and said while shaking his head, "It's my fault for lacking a move, I should have long greeted you. I never thought that you would actually come looking for me."

Li Mingyuan kneeled on the ground, looking at Chu Yunge in shock. How could she say that! In other words, he had admitted his guilt! How could she push him into the fire pit! Li Mingyuan crawled to the front of the table and laid his upper body on it.

"Master, don't listen to his nonsense. I don't know them! They came to frame me! "

Chu Yunge took a step forward and extended her hand with a look of guilt, "Brother Ming Yuan, this is your bro's fault, you don't lose anything since you've already done it. You can go and sit in the prison for a few days, after a while, I'll get my dad to get you out."

Li Mingyuan suddenly stood up and pointed at Chu Yunge, "I don't know you, why did you frame me like that!" Originally, this case would have dragged on for at least half a month.

"It's true that I don't know you, but my father knows your father. Your father has already asked for me, so how could I not care?"

"It's not like that!" Li Mingyuan finally realized that he was tricked, but he didn't even remember when he committed such a crime. Even if he had to go all out to go to jail, he would still frame him. I don't know them! I really don't know them. "

"Li Mingyuan, do you think that what you're saying now has any meaning?" The Prefect slammed the table, "The case of Li Mingyuan killing Li Erniu is now in evidence. The evidence is conclusive, the one who owes the debt owes the money and the one who pays it with his life, this official sentenced Li Mingyuan to death. His circumstances are severe and he has no regrets until now, and he is sentenced to death in Caishikou tomorrow at noon."

"As for the other three accomplices, they have disturbed the audiovisual protection of the culprit and almost caused irreparable harm, which is a joint crime with imprisonment for one year as a sign of fairness!"

"Might..." "Martial …"

Li Mingyuan looked like he had gone mad, he pounced towards Chu Yunge to bite him, but was stopped by the bailiff behind him, "I don't know you! Why did you frame me! Why! I will kill you! "

Saliva filled the air as Chu Yunge took a step back in disgust. She silently said in her heart, "Because you're unlucky …"

She was still worrying about not being convicted of a crime and going to jail. Chu Yunge and the other two had their hands tied up, as they pressed their way into the yamen's dungeon. As soon as she entered the cell, she was met with a whizzing chill. The cell was made of brick, and the windows were open in the sky, so the cell was barely big enough for sunlight.

The yamen runners pressed down on the three of them and locked them up in a cell with no one around. Then, they walked out.

"Little girl, you're quite talkative." Ji Guzi spread out a thick layer of straw and sat on the ground. At first, he was curious, but after hearing her say three days ago, he understood, that this little girl seemed to have seven orifices and was able to think of such a trick.

But to be honest, he couldn't think of a safer place at the moment.

"Of course." As the three of them were locked in a place, Chu Yunge turned to look at Feng Yi. The moment the yamen runner closed the door, Chu Yunge suddenly thought of something.

However, they have Ji Guzi by their side right now, so nothing should happen to them, right?

Chu Yunge pulled up Feng Yi's sleeve and pulled his hand into Ji Guzi's hands. She didn't want to see Feng Yi rolling around in the prison tomorrow.

"What is it? I don't have any special hobbies! " Ji Guzi said righteously, like a righteous guardian.

Rolling her eyes, Chu Yunge took out two of Ji Guzi's fingers and placed it on Feng Yi's pulse. Feng Yi wanted to retract her hand but Chu Yunge stopped him.

Since her royal father was able to treat such a complicated poison like this, even he could definitely cure Feng Yi's poison too!

Ji Guzi pinched Feng Yi's brows, his eyebrows locked inch-by-inch. He was actually acting so well, they had been together for such a long time, yet he actually didn't show the slightest hint of being poisoned, and even more so with such a malicious poison!

All his life, he had been studying how to treat people. It could be said that as long as someone passed through his hands, there was almost no one that he couldn't save. However, there was one time where he could do nothing but watch helplessly as his patient died. This was the second time he had seen this poison, and the first person he had seen being poisoned with this poison was no longer in this world.

He had clearly promised to treat him, to return him a healthy body, yet he did not fulfill his promise. Watching him bleed from every orifice and die, that person had become the regret of his entire life.

Ji Guzi withdrew his hand and slowly raised his head with a moved expression. His heart throbbed with pain as he thought, "How many years have you endured?"
