C267 267 Final trial

Ah!" "Don't come over, don't come over, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I really don't want to kill you, I'm sorry, please forgive me, I'll go back and erect the tablet for you, I beg you, please spare me …

"Spare you? That's what we begged you to do. Why didn't you let us go? "

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have been that crazy. I was afraid that if you spread this news, I would only burn you. I beg you, I truly know my wrongs …"

"…"

Just like that, Yan Qi's "Confession" spread from outside to the ears of everyone outside, causing an uproar.

Although the news of the burning of the Chen Palace had already spread throughout the entire Huaxi Town for more than two months, but now that Yan Qi had acknowledged it himself, the shock wave was still rather strong.

Yan Heng's face had already turned ashen, he looked at Yan Yuan without saying a word, and after a while, his weak voice came out from his mouth.

"Ninth Brother, Qi'er is your nephew after all. Can you let her off easily?"

At this time, Yan Yuan's face was filled with unquestionable decisiveness, "The Chen family is full of this king's people, why hasn't your son thought of letting them off lightly?"

His voice was not very loud, but every word was smashed heavily onto Yan Heng's heart.

"Go in and bring Yan Qi out."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The constables didn't dare to hesitate as they grabbed their torches and rushed towards the door.

When the door that was covered by the black cloth was opened, Yan Qi's face was already covered in tears and snot.

The torch outside lit up the entire room. Maybe it was because of the light, but the fear on Yan Qi's face slowly disappeared, and was replaced with bewilderment.

It wasn't until he saw Yan Yuan's expressionless face, which gradually became clear under the illumination of the torch, that he seemed to have realized something. The confusion on his face gradually turned into fear.

Turning his head again, he saw that all the faces in the room had been stripped of their hoods, revealing a very normal face. Even the Chen family's Young Lady's ghost had turned blood-red.

Only Chen Gongzi's face was still scarily wounded. It was just that at this time, he was no longer as horrifying as before.

Taking a closer look, the "Yin Division" in front of him was obviously the county magistrate court. However, the "Yin Division" had been replaced by the "Yin Division".

Yan Qi gradually understood that he had been tricked by someone.

However, he was clearly in the inn, so why was he brought to the county magistrate court? Why was he not conscious at all?

His gaze, from shock to bewilderment to fear, stopped on Yan Yuan's silent face.

Soon after, he saw his own father, Jing King Yan Heng. He was looking at him with a face full of helplessness.

"Father... "Father …"

Yan Qi knew what he was going to face next. He had just admitted his defeat at the "Yin Division", and everyone had heard about it.

He gritted his teeth, somewhat hating himself, even more so hating Yan Yuan.

His gaze, slowly moved from Yan Heng's face to Yan Yuan's, and his entire body trembled. "Royal Uncle …"

"Someone, come."

"Here."

"Take Yan Heng away."

"Yes."

Yan Qi's legs went weak and he fell to the ground, allowing the constable to quickly bring him down.

When he arrived at Yan Yuan's side, he knelt down and grabbed's sleeves, and begged for mercy: "Royal Uncle, have mercy, Royal Uncle, I was wrong. Royal Uncle, have mercy …"

"Spare our lives?"

The light in Yan Yuan's eyes became deeper, and from the bottom of his eyes flowed a fierce killing intent.

"Back then, those from the Chen Clan also begged you like this, did you spare their lives?"

The shout was so loud that no one dared to look at Yan Yuan and they all lowered their eyes.

"Take him down and put him in jail."

"Yes."

Yan Qi was already at a loss for words, and because of Yan Yuan's rage, he did not dare come to this critical juncture to plead for mercy.

When Yan Qi was about to be brought out after being arrested, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Liu Ruo Qing who was standing beside Yan Yuan, watching the show. His originally listless eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered something.

However, he didn't have a chance to speak. He had already been arrested and was about to be brought down.

Yan Heng looked at Yan Yuan, he wanted to say something but hesitated. Then, he sighed and turned to leave without saying anything.

Zhuang Qing didn't dare to leave for a moment, and only after everyone had left did he walk to Yan Yuan's side.

After all, after being an official for such a long time, Zhuang Qing's ability to read people's expressions was naturally unfounded.

From Yan Yuan's previous response to Yan Heng and his son, Zhuang Qing knew that Yan Yuan would not easily let Yan Qi go.

"Your Royal Highness, look at this case …"

he asked cautiously.

"The case will be heard tomorrow. The verdict will be the same as the trial itself."

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, this official will obey."

In front of Yan Yuan, every time Zhuang Qing appeared to be submissive and timid.

Seeing how cautious the county magistrate was in front of Yan Yuan, the bystanders snickered in their hearts.

It was said that a level one official could crush a person to death. This Prince Jing was not just a little bit older than him.

Yan Yuan's gaze landed on the commoners who were still present and said to Zhuang Qing: "Tomorrow, these commoners will be there. If you dare to be dishonest in the slightest, this king will ask you."

"Yes, Your Highness. This official doesn't dare, doesn't dare …"

Then, Yan Yuan turned his head to look at the commoners, and said: "Fellow villagers, the matter tonight, you are all witnesses to the Chen Family's injustice, you must be there tomorrow, the Chen Family's case, will be up to you guys."

"The Prince is wise. This humble one will not disappoint you, your highness. "

Those citizens were so excited that they immediately knelt down.

"Alright, everyone, please get up. Go back and have a good night's sleep."

"This commoner takes his leave."

After everyone left, Chen Xuan and her wife also came out.

Lu Wan's hair was already tied up, revealing her delicate face.

Chen Xuan also wiped away the green coloured liquid that was smeared on her face to scare Yan Qi.

Although his face had been burned by the fire, it was still much better after treatment.

The husband and wife duo knelt in front of Yan Yuan one after the other.

"Get up."

Liu Ruo Qing walked forward and helped the couple up, "This is all your own effort. If it wasn't for the fact that you guys acted like ghosts and caused the people in the town to discuss about it, we wouldn't have even paid attention to this case."

"Yes, that's right."

It was rare for Yan Yuan to get involved with words like this. He pointed at Liu Ruo Qing and said, "You guys acted so well, scaring this Crown Princess Jing so much that he didn't dare to sleep for the better half of the year. You were even scared to tears."
