Chapter 262 Chapter 262: Princess should avoid suspicion

Father had just told them a few days ago that they should be cautious in their actions and not cause trouble for the family and Prince Yu's mansion, so he forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

All the sage books that I read on weekdays have been eaten into my stomach?
Cao Ge slapped the armrest, and stared at Chu Huan fiercely: "You have already beaten someone to death, so what's the use of regretting it now, Chu Huan, it's only right and proper to kill people for their lives!"

Chu Huan's body softened slightly.

With blood on his hands, he didn't want to live anymore.

"Lord Cao, this case is still unclear, why should you be in a hurry." Ye Siheng said displeased.

Old Cao Ge snorted coldly: "The evidence is solid, why is it still unclear? Could it be that the prince still wants to delay time and turn things around?"

Qin Zheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Cao, be careful, how could the prince know the law and break the law? Besides, the case needs to be carefully examined, after all, human life is at stake."

Cao Ge didn't reply.

Just at this time, a shout suddenly sounded outside:
"Killing for life is just and righteous!"

"The Son of Heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people!"

"If there is shelter, where is the law!"

One sound after another, everyone in Dali Temple could hear it clearly.

Ye Siheng glanced out.

Qing Feng went out to have a look, and then hurried back to report: "It's some officials from poor backgrounds, and there are also students from poor families in the Imperial College, there are more than a hundred of them."

As soon as Nan Li heard this, she knew that the case had involved a court struggle, and she subconsciously grabbed Ye Siheng's hand.

Ye Siheng patted the back of her hand to reassure her.

He was unhurried: "Old Cao Ge, do you believe me?"

Cao Ge raised his eyebrows, "Forgive me, my lord, it is these officials and students who want to know the truth, so as to seek justice for Yaozu."

Before coming to Dali Temple, he had arranged everything.

Ye Siheng was able to cut off Jiang Yang's hand for Chu Shuo before, so it's hard to guarantee that Ye Siheng will force Chu Huan to save him this time.

People like them from humble backgrounds have no power and power, so they can only take risks in the army, which is a helpless move.

Ye Siheng didn't care much, and snorted coldly: "Since Mr. Cao Ge let them come, why not let them listen to the trial as well."

Looking up, Qing Feng had already taken orders, and immediately went out to invite all the officials and students in.

Immediately, the courtyard was filled with darkness, full of people.

When they saw Chu Huan, they clenched their fists and shouted righteously, "Chu Huan, you should pay for your life!"

These people may not all sincerely seek justice for Sun Yaozu.

But it was Chu Huan who was involved in the murder case this time, a child of a family with a bright future, so they came here to complain and want to vent their anger severely.

Chu Huan turned his head and saw the angry and vicious expressions of each of them. He really wanted to pay for his life.

The pillar is right in front of you.

"Third brother!" Nan Li kept staring at Chu Huan, saw that he looked strange, and hurriedly shouted, "You didn't kill me, trust me and the prince."

She was still a little uncertain just now, but now she dared to say this sentence.

Chu Huan stared at her blankly.

Soon, his heart settled down and he nodded to her.

Old Cao Ge couldn't help sneering: "What? Do the prince and princess still want to turn right and wrong?"

With so many people here, if Ye Siheng dared to shield Chu Huan, his reputation would be ruined!

No matter whether it is the court or the people, no one will be convinced in the future!
Ye Siheng changed his sitting position, resting his stomach with one hand, and looked not nervous.

"There are so many people watching, this king is not capable of this." His tone was contemptuous, but it gave off an unexplainable sense of oppression.

The black armored guards stood at the door, and the officials and students stopped talking.

Ye Siheng looked directly at the little official, and his pressure became even more coercive: "Just now you said that Chu Huan knocked him down with one punch, didn't you?"

The little official didn't dare to meet Ye Siheng's gaze, "Yes! He used a lot of strength, and Big Brother Sun was knocked down to the ground."

"One punch, or two punches?"

The little official: "It's two punches, one punch is on Brother Sun's face, and the other punch is on the chest!"

Chu Huan was still in a daze when he heard Ye Siheng calling himself, "Third brother, think about it, is it two punches?"

"I..." Chu Huan was stunned, met the eyes of the two, and then seriously recalled.

No matter how flustered he was at the time, he calmed down now. He shook his head violently: "It wasn't two punches! I just punched him in the face."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Ye Siheng's mouth, and he stared at the little official: "In Dali Temple, how dare you make a false confession?"

Mr. Cao Ge couldn't sit still immediately, he stood up suddenly: "My lord, how can you believe that he made a false confession? He is an eyewitness, and he has no grievances with Chu Huan. How could he make a false confession to frame Chu Huan? It is clearly Chu Huan. Huan lied to avoid guilt, but everyone said that the prince is wise and powerful, how could he not see this!"

The onlookers from the underprivileged sects shouted one after another, saying that Ye Siheng blatantly defended the murderer, and there was no justice at all.

Qin Zheng immediately made people quiet.

He said: "It's simple, the princess has a mantra talisman, and once she uses it, she will know who is telling lies."

Elder Cao Ge said: "The princess is Chu Huan's own younger sister. She should avoid suspicion. How can she use the talisman seals drawn by her again? Besides, these heresy methods are used in investigations now. It seems that the position of the Minister of Dali Temple in the future will be Whoever has money to buy talismans can sit on it."

This statement was also supported by the poor sect.

Qin Zheng's face turned red and white.

Nan Li wasn't annoyed, instead, the corners of her mouth twitched: "Lord Cao, don't be so arbitrary, the world is full of wonders, and in some cases, it really takes some heresy to find out the truth."

"Isn't this case just an ordinary beating to death, need these heretics?" Cao Ge said, "Nowadays, whether it is the courtiers or the common people, it is said that the princess is not only capable, but also kind-hearted, so the princess should lead by example, so as not to ruined his reputation."

When he spoke to Nan Li, he was not aggressive, but calmly persuaded.

It was only Chu Huan who committed the crime. As long as Nanli killed her relatives righteously, she would not be involved in this case.

In this way, she can still be loved and convinced by the courtiers and the common people.

"If I say that Sun Yaozu was killed by heretics, would Mr. Cao be willing to give me the opportunity and time to prove it?" Nan Li asked.

Cao Ge was stunned, "You haven't even seen the corpse, how dare you say that Yaozu was killed by heretics?"

"As long as you carry Sun Yaozu's body, I can prove it."

Elder Cao Ge immediately shook his head: "No, I also said just now, the princess should avoid suspicion."

Nan Li thought for a while, "What Master Cao said is true. Then I will invite Master Ling Zhen to come over. Presumably, Master Cao has no objection?"

Old Cao Ge naturally had no objection.

Master Ling Zhen has practiced for many years, and his seniority is higher than that of Yuan Fan.

He nodded slightly: "No objection, but in this case, the case will have to be postponed for retrial."

It takes at least half a day to invite people to Wanfo Temple.
