Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Except for A Yu who stayed behind to guard Leng Yu and two men to guard the gate, all the people in Prince Yu's Mansion went out to deliver messages to the common people.

When Luo Lan and the others arrived, the Shuntian government office had already been surrounded by people on the inner and outer third floors. It seemed that these people were all here to watch the fun.

In this Great Ning Kingdom, when the government hears a case, the common people can watch and even express their opinions. This is the rule set by the late emperor.

Today is Princess Yu and Nie Changan going to court again, and the common people really came to watch the excitement as Luo Lan said.

In the court of Shuntian Mansion, Mr. Lu was sitting upright in the main hall, with a pair of shrewd small eyes, he kept looking around.

When Luo Lan appeared with Xiao Zhi and Ah Gang, Ah Hou shouted to the crowd:

"Everyone make room, Princess Yu is here."

Hearing this, the crowd immediately gave way, and Luo Lan led Xiao Zhi and Ah Gang into the court with a serious face.

At this time, Nie Changan had already arrived one step ahead. He was drinking tea with Master Hu who had robbed Luo Lanyu Ruyi. With a wink, he stood under the hall with his hands behind his back.

Luo Lan looked in the courtroom for a week, but she didn't see the upright Zhang Butou, and she didn't know if he would show up in a while.

Seeing Luo Lan coming in, Mr. Lu patted the gavel, then cleared his throat.

"Now that you are promoted to the hall, what are the people under the hall doing? Let's talk about it one by one."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Changan took the lead in cupping his fists and said:

"Nie Chang'an is the treasurer of Changshou Hall. Today I want to sue Princess Yu of Prince Yu's Mansion. She ordered people from her mansion to steal things from Changshou Hall. I caught her, but she led people to break into the hall in the middle of the night. Taking people away from my mansion, she is blatantly conniving at her subordinates to do evil! Master Lu must decide for me."

Lord Lu glanced at Luo Lan, and asked in a harsh voice, "Princess Yu, you are a relative of the emperor, why did you do such an immoral thing? Are you afraid that the emperor will know and punish you?"

Hearing this, Luo Lan already knew that Lord Lu really did what Leng Yu said, that he and Nie Changan wore a pair of trousers.

She snorted contemptuously, then raised her voice and replied:

"Lord Lu, it doesn't seem to be in accordance with the rules for you to ask the case like this. You have to ask the reason of the matter before making a conclusion. I listen to what you mean, and you can settle the case just by listening to shopkeeper Nie's words? Shopkeeper Nie said he came to sue I, I also said that I came to sue him. He took the people in my mansion into his mansion without authorization, tortured them, and forced them to admit that I ordered them to enter the Longevity Hall to steal things. It is a typical action of lynching, which is not allowed in Daning Kingdom, and please ask Mr. Lu to uphold justice."

"You are talking nonsense."

Nie Changan suddenly pointed at her and yelled, "Don't you dare to slander me in front of Mr. Lu, why would I use lynching? I, Nie Changan, have been practicing medicine in the capital for many years, and I have done well. what about?"

Mr. Lu also nodded in agreement, "The shopkeeper Nie's words are reasonable. Changshoutang is a well-known medical clinic in the capital, and it is the most trusted medical clinic by the people. How could it be possible to do what you said?"

"Master Lu..."

Luo Lan suddenly raised her voice, "Last night, Zhang Butou in your mansion personally took people to the Longevity Hall. He saw with his own eyes that two people from my Prince Yu's mansion were injured by people from the Longevity Hall. You can ask him to come out and ask talk."

Mentioning Zhang Yuan, Mr. Lu covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "Zhang Yuan was fired for some reason, and he will go home to farm now. His testimony is not credible."

Fired?

Luo Lan frowned and looked at Master Lu and Nie Changan, who was enjoying himself.

She knew that this must be the fault of Nie Chang'an, Zhang Butou must have endured for a long time before he was promoted to the position of the head catcher, because of this incident he was dismissed, it seems that this Shuntian Mansion is really a dark place.

She chuckled and nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, please tell me, the people behind, did you see these two people lying seriously injured in the woodshed of the Longevity Hall last night?"

Under such circumstances, how could the people dare to testify? Everyone lowered their heads and whispered, but no one was willing to stand up.

At this time, Ah Hou brought a group of girls from Prince Yu's mansion to the front of the crowd,

"We can testify that last night, Xiao Zhi and Ah Gang were locked in the woodshed in the backyard of the Longevity Hall, and they were already dying when they returned."

Master Lu half-closed his eyes and patted the gavel wood and asked, "Who are you?"

Nie Changan pointed at them directly, snorted and replied:

"Lord Lu, they are all from Prince Yu's Mansion. They must be in collusion. Please check it out."

Hearing this, Master Lu snorted coldly, "It's really unreasonable. You are both from the Yu Palace, so your testimony is naturally not credible. Are there any other witnesses?"

Master Lu seemed to expect that these people would not dare to come forward to testify, so he asked this question.

Sure enough, although the people were discussing something in private, no one was willing to testify.

At this time, Xiao Zhi took two steps forward, and directly rolled up his shirt, the place where the iron plate had been scalded was clearly visible.

He raised his voice and shouted:

"I don't need you to testify. I will prove it myself. This is what was left when the people from Changshou Hall tortured me last night. They not only burned me with chromium iron, but also hung me up and whipped me to make me admit that it was Princess Yu's life." I went to the Longevity Hall to steal something."

Speaking of this, Xiaozhi deliberately walked around the courtroom with his skirt lifted, and the people standing at the door clicked their tongues when they saw this scene.

He continued:

"Yesterday afternoon, I passed the Longevity Hall, and suddenly two people came over and covered my mouth, took me into the backyard of the Longevity Hall, and tied me up. They asked me if Princess Yu asked me to go to the Longevity Hall to steal stuff, I said no, and they started beating me."

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves again, "This is the place where they were beaten, and here."

While speaking, he took off his pants again, and his supposedly clean buttocks were covered with welt marks.

Seeing this scene, Luo Lan's eyes turned red, she clenched her fists, closed her eyes slightly, not daring to think about how Xiao Zhi endured it.

The people also shook their heads and sighed, expressing sympathy for Xiao Zhi.

After seeing everyone look at his wounds, he lifted up his trousers again, "I just passed by the Longevity Hall and didn't intend to go in. I don't know why they insisted on accusing me of stealing things? They said that Princess Yu asked me to go, but if I refused to admit it, they would beat me to death."

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhi began to sob softly with his head bowed, his appearance was extremely wronged and made people feel distressed.
