"Mr. Luo, why haven't I seen your granddaughter-in-law before?" Guo Gongye asked with a faint smile.
Mr. Luo shot a glance at Guo Gongye, and unhurriedly asked, "Is this important?" He understood the meaning behind Guo Gongye's words. Didn't he think that Guo Gongye was lying?
"Chi …" If he wanted to lie, what could he do to him? Who would dare to loudly question his words?
Besides, he wasn't lying.
Guo Gongye choked, could he honestly say that it was very important?
I can't...
He stealthily took a deep breath, smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled up, and then moved his words back to the case.
Just that, his words and words implied that this was Li Qingling's fault.
Liu Zhimo, who was listening at the side, could no longer hold it in. He walked forward and respectfully cupped his hands to Fei Daren, "Master, this student requests a witness to testify." For a dignified Guo Gongye to force himself to wrongly accuse a little girl, was that alright?
He did not blush; he blushed for him.
His understanding of the people of Mansion of the State rose to yet another level.
Previously, Liu Zhimo stood at the side and did not make a sound, causing Guo Gongye to ignore him.
When he saw Liu Zhimo's face, his expression changed, and he could not help but take a step forward, "Liu Siye?" Could it be Liu Siye?
He was a little scared of Liu Siye. That guy could make a lie out of a lie and a lie out of a lie, and couldn't find any words to refute him.
Facing such a person, it would be better for him to leave as soon as possible.
Seeing such a scene, Liu Zhimo was already used to it. He calmly turned his head and said to Guo Gongye, "You recognized the wrong person."
When Guo Gongye clearly saw Liu Zhimo's young and tender face, he let out a breath of relief. This wasn't Liu Siye, it was impossible for him to be so young after a dozen years.
"You … What is your relationship with Liu Siye? " They looked so much like each other, so they should be father and son, right?
Then, did Liu Siye, who had disappeared for more than ten years, return?
"Fei Daren, do you want to shut up for people who have nothing to do with this case?" Mr. Luo turned to Fei Daren and spoke with a cold expression.
It seemed that his good disciple wouldn't be able to hide this accident.
Guo Gongye would definitely spread the news.
It looked like he would have to have someone protect his good grandchild in the dark.
Fei Daren wiped the sweat off his forehead and laughed bitterly. When tigers fight, the one who was injured was a small fry like him.
"Someone, bring a chair for Guo Gongye."
Guo Gongye frowned, and gave another deep look at Liu Zhimo before he walked over and sat down on a chair.
His back was facing the emperor, so he didn't see the emperor appear quietly.
After Guo Gongye put away the equipment, Fei Daren patted the table and shouted as he sent the witness to the hall.
The old man was brought up, he knelt down and kowtowed to Fei Daren, and only after Fei Daren let him stand up, did he dare.
"Who is it?"
Hearing this, the old man respectfully reported his name.
Fei Daren then asked him what had happened between Li Qingling and him.
The old man lowered his head slightly and told her everything he had seen.
Once he finished speaking, Wu Furen screamed out, "Lies! My lord, this old man is lying! He was bribed by someone to slander me!"
In any case, she was determined not to admit that it was her fault.
Otherwise, Guo Gongye would never let her off easily.
At this moment, Wu Furen's heart was filled with regret. If she knew that Li Qingling was behind all of this, she definitely wouldn't have made such a huge fuss out of it.
Who told that damned girl to dress in such tattered clothes, making her think that she was just a commoner. That was why she dared to make a move on her.
Facing Wu Furen's slander, the old man was so angry that her face turned red. He knelt down respectfully and said with a firm tone that she was not lying.
Fei Daren patted the Shocking Wood, cleared his throat, and asked the old man again. Was what he said true?
At the same time, he warned the old man that if he lied, he would go to jail.
The old man laid his head on the ground and said loudly once again, what he said just now was all true and he was not lying at all.
Fei Daren stealthily looked at Mr. Luo. Seeing that Mr. Luo had a smile on his face and his gaze was directed towards Guo Gongye, Guo Gongye's face became as black as ink.
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. No matter how this case was tried, he had to offend one of them.
However, under the gaze of the emperor, it was impossible for him to side with the trial.
Mr. Luo changed his posture, the paper in his hand gently knocked on the handle of the chair, and looked at Fei Daren: "Fei Daren, we still have other witnesses, please summon them to the hall." If he was not prepared, how could he let Li Qingling beat the drum and cry out such injustice?
This time, he had to punish Mansion of the State no matter what.
"..." It seemed that Mr. Luo had made the absolute best preparations. Fei Daren did not dare delay any further and quickly called the other witnesses over.
This time, ten witnesses came in. They were men and women, young and old.
When they came in, Fei Daren immediately waved his hand, telling them not to kneel anymore, and quickly told them what he saw.
The ten witnesses told what they had seen.
"My lord, they are lying. I did not do so." Wu Furen was panicking in her heart, she never thought that Li Qingling would find so many witnesses, "Father, quickly help me speak a few words, they are really lying."
Mansion of the State looked at the panicking Wu Furen, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction. She was wrong that she should not let Fifth Son marry this wife.
Not only was he ugly, he was also fooling around all day.
Without mentioning anything else, just this matter alone caused Mansion of the State to lose all face.
Truly ugly people causing more trouble.
"Since Wu Furen said that they were lying, then call your witness!" Li Qingling looked at Wu Furen and snorted coldly.
Wu Furen was even more anxious now, where did she get a witness?
She could not help but look towards Guo Gongye, hoping that the duke would help her as well.
If she were to lose face, it would also implicate the Mansion of the State. After all, she was a member of the Mansion of the State.
Guo Gongye scolded himself in his heart before he turned to Fei Daren and invited him to announce Wu Furen's name to the hall.
Hearing these words, Wu Furen's heart slightly relaxed.
She knew that Guo Gongye would definitely not be unprepared, if not how could he have come here alone?
"You'll know how to die when my witness arrives." Wu Furen whispered to Li Qingling.
Li Qingling turned his head to look at her, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Wu Furen, do you know how pigs die?"
Wu Furen did not understand the meaning behind Li Qingling's words. She looked at Li Qingling and raised her chin proudly, "Those who are killed, how can they die?"
"Stupid." After Li Qingling finished this sentence in a low voice, he successfully saw Wu Furen's ashen face.
"You …" Wu Furen's voice suddenly grew louder.
"Silence" Fei Daren heavily knocked on the wooden door, and looked at Wu Furen with dissatisfaction: "Announce the witness."
This time, the one who came up was a cunning man. He looked at Guo Gongye before bowing to him.
Seeing that man's appearance, Fei Daren did not have any good impression of him. He did not let him get up either, and directly allowed him to talk about the matter between Wu Furen and Li Qingling.
The man's eyes flashed as he recited the prepared draft in detail. What he said was the complete opposite of what the other witnesses had said previously.
Hearing that, Wu Furen's expression became even more pleased, she knew that with Guo Gongye making a move, she had nothing to worry about.
Li Qingling glanced at the man, and then speechlessly raised his eyebrows. When Mansion of the State went to look for witnesses, she did not find anyone with a more honest appearance.
What's more, what the man said couldn't even stand up to further scrutiny.
"Brother, do you know who I am?"
The man glanced at Li Qingling, and reflexively spoke: "Who are you, what does it have to do with me?"
Once he said that, he saw a faint smile on Li Qingling's face, "You don't even know who the main culprit is, yet you dare to come up and testify?" She did not expect that with just that one sentence, the man would reveal himself, "How much money did Mansion of the State give you to use as a false witness?"
"Little girl, be careful of the words that come out of your mouth." Guo Gongye looked at Li Qingling with a gloomy face. In his heart, he hated the man who did not accomplish enough and had more than enough.
Mr. Luo squinted his eyes and snorted, "Guo Gongye, are you being displeased that the matter has been exposed?" Guo Gongye was getting more and more shameless, "Also, my grandson's wife is married, please call her Madam, not some little miss."
He looked at Li Qingling's hair and decided that after this matter, he would let Li Qingling comb the woman's hair and not let others misunderstand.
The man rolled his eyes, doing his best to salvage the situation. "My eyes were just blurry and I couldn't see it clearly. Not bad, you are the person who slandered Wu Furen."
He was greedy for the money Mansion of the State gave him, which was why he came here to testify. Who knew that he would be exposed so quickly?
Even if it was for that sum of silver, he still had to die.
"Then, where did you see Wu Furen?"
Wu Furen was afraid that the man would say something wrong and cause them to fall into a difficult situation, so she immediately said: "Everyone knows that we are at Feng Yan Street, what do you mean by that?"
"Wu Furen, what are you panicking for?" Li Qingling looked at Wu Furen who had obviously started to panic, "If you have any questions? "You can also ask my witness at any time. I definitely won't say a word, but when I ask for your witness, please do not disturb me, or else I will treat it as a sign of guilt."
She had asked all that she needed to, and she believed that Fei Daren had a plan now.
Wu Furen huffed and puffed as she glared at Li Qingling. Sooner or later, she would teach this damn girl a lesson and let her know how powerful she was.
"Master, I'm done." Li Qingling ignored Wu Furen and turned to speak to Fei Daren.
Seeing this scene, what could Fei Daren not understand?
