Gu Changqing saw a trace of worry flashing in Jiang Wanwan's eyes.

Seeing Jiang Wanwan's desire to save him, he shook his head at Jiang Wanwan.

His eyes signaled Jiang Wanwan not to risk saving him.

Above the lobby, Cao Yujiang and Zhang Deli were still observing the trial.

Gu Changqing returned to the lobby and heard Ji Quanzhong say:

"Prisoner Gu Changqing, can you plead guilty?"

Gu Changqing said word by word:

"deny."

Ji Quanzhong put all the evidence in front of Gu Changqing and asked again:

"These are all evidence of your crime, what else do you have to quibble with?"

Jiang Wanwan raised her feet and was about to walk in, when her hand was held by someone.

She turned around and saw that it was Bai Yu: "Don't worry."

At this time, the Dengwen drum outside Jingzhao Yin was beaten.

Ji Quanzhong said in a deep voice: "Yamen, go check who is playing the drums. Your Excellency, please bring him up."

"Yes, my lord."

Soon a man was brought to court. Jiang Wanwan looked up and saw that it was Xiao Huai.

When Xiao Huai passed by Jiang Wanwan, he gave her a reassuring look.

When Ji Quanzhong saw Xiao Huai, he asked, "Prince Pingyang, why are you beating the Dengwen drum?"

Xiao Huai said with a serious face:

"All the properties of my Xiao family have been turned over to the national treasury, and there are only a few stores left to make ends meet. I didn't expect that someone would target the Xiao family. I am here to ask for justice for the Xiao family."

Zhang Deli looked heavy and said nothing.

Cao Yujiang, who was sitting aside, stood up and said to Xiao Huai:

"Prince Pingyang, we are currently reviewing the Cao family's case. Your case will be heard by Mr. Ji later. Everything is on a first-come, first-served basis."

Xiao Huai looked at Cao Yujiang expressionlessly:

"Master Cao, this county prince is here for the case of Hongyan Pavilion. Xuanyi Pavilion has received the order from Hongyan Pavilion. The poison in Bingqing Yujie has nothing to do with the Xiao family and Hongyan Pavilion. Please make the decision for the Xiao family and find the real culprit. "

Ji Quanzhong frowned. He didn't even find out that the Xiao family was related to this matter.

Xiao Huai took it upon himself to get involved in right and wrong, which is very puzzling.

Zhang Deli said with a smile on his face: "Prince, don't let others be used as chess pieces."

Xiao Huai said coldly:

"Hey! Eunuch Zhang, are you saying that this county prince is stupid?"

Zhang Deli said with a smile: "The king atones for his sins, but this is not what I mean."

Xiao Huai snorted coldly:

"Eunuch Zhang, you are getting old. Standing for a long time is harmful to your health. Sit down. Mr. Ji will definitely find out the truth of the case."

Zhang Deli was speechless by Xiao Huai. He was about to say that he was sent by the emperor.

But Concubine Xiao was so favored that he could not offend Xiao Huai or offend Concubine Xiao.

Zhang Deli said with a smile: "Thank you so much, the king, for showing consideration to this old slave."

Xiao Huai said nothing, but gave Zhang Deli a meaningful look.

Cao Yujiang said angrily:

"Jiang Wanwan is so emboldened. It turns out that she is colluding with the Xiao family and collaborating to persecute the Cao family! Lord Ji, please seek justice for the Cao family!"

Xiao Huai said with a smile: "Master Cao, don't talk nonsense in the lobby. Although I have no official position, I cannot tolerate false accusations from others."

Cao Yujiang snorted coldly: "I'm just telling the truth."

Xiao Huai gave Cao Yujiang a cold look: "Master Cao, do you have evidence to prove that Jiang Wanwan and the Xiao family harmed your Cao family?"

Ji Quanzhong felt like he was being roasted on a fire, unable to advance or retreat.

The Xiao family gave him a big problem.

"Prince Pingyang, Mr. Cao, I will definitely investigate and get to the bottom of this. Please rest assured."
