It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

With so many people surrounding the coffin opening site, it didn't seem to be a suitable place for a trial. Mao Hongbin frowned and shouted: "Qin Chaoge, bring the criminal Lan back to the Beijun Mansion. The relevant people will bring back Li Mingyuan's body and continue the inspection. Li Mingzhe, don't be sad, this matter is my responsibility." I must give you an explanation!"

These few words were quite powerful, and Li Mingzhe stopped crying, wiped away the tears on his face, and bowed deeply towards Mao Hongbin. As a result, everyone onlookers started talking enthusiastically again, saying that Li Mingzhe was worthy of being a minister, and that the people who worked in the palace were really polite and well-educated.

Lan was taken away first, and Li Mingzhe followed. However, Mao Hongbin carried Li Mingyuan's body into a big cloth bag and carefully loaded it into the carriage, and then followed the carriage. Go slowly.

Qin Chaoge came over again and asked, "Sir, I heard that the Queen has returned from the West City Gate this morning and has now entered the palace."

"What?" Mao Hongbin looked at him with squinted eyes.

Qin Chaoge laughed dryly before saying, "Let the Queen come to review this case?"

"Why?" Mao Hongbin had a bad feeling. Sure enough, Qin Chaoge laughed dryly again and said, "This matter may not seem that simple. Why don't we let the Queen conduct a trial and close the case this morning."

"Can't I, my lord, try the case?" Mao Hongbin was unhappy. This place was still half a day's journey from Beijun Mansion. He had time to train Qin Chaoge. He was now in charge of Beijun Mansion. At least when issuing wages and salaries, it must have his signature and seal of Mao Hongbin.

"Sir, it's okay, it's okay." Qin Chaoge had already noticed the difference in Mao Hongbin's expression, and immediately smiled: "It's not that we don't believe you, sir, it's just that we miss the Queen very much recently and haven't seen her for several days... Not seeing each other is like three autumns apart, we have been apart for several autumns..."

"...She is a queen, how can she hang out with you every day?" Mao Hongbin thought for a while. Although he also missed Yang Xianrong, he would not stay like this for several autumns. "Actually, if you really miss her, you might as well go work for the Forbidden Army."

"Forget it, that boy Yuan Jianshuo only has eyes for the Queen. If we go in, he will definitely send us to other places. We might even have to clean the toilets." The military guards who followed Qin Chaoge also whispered. got up.

Mao Hongbin looked at these extremely young and lively faces and sighed in his heart. When the young Yang Xianrong was in Tai'an County, many military guards from Tai'an County liked to follow her. They would buy her candies every day like teasing a child, and would smile and wait for her to grow up and take her home as a wife. Woolen cloth.

Who would have thought that she is now the queen of Dajin.

The day before yesterday, Yang Xiankang hesitated and said something very cryptic: "Let's go."

Mao Hongbin's heart turned around, because Yang Xiankang never lied, so there must be something wrong with talking like this. However, if the two siblings really ran away, could Sima Lun and Sima Ying let her go? You won’t even let yourself go, right? There are also the old servants who stay at the Yang family, and those who are close to their family. Perhaps, even the grandfather's family such as Sun Xiu and Sun Qi would have to sit together.

People like Sima Lun are worried that they have no reason to cause trouble. If Yang Xianrong ran away, it might be a good excuse.

I felt uneasy, but I didn't show it.

Until just now Qin Chaoge said that Yang Xianrong had returned to the palace. Although he was five days later than the emperor, he finally came back. He went to bed after returning to the Beijun Mansion. The workers continued to work on the autopsy and waited for the results. It wasn't until the next day that Mao Hongbin went up to the court to continue the trial and lifted everyone up to the lobby. The lobby of Beijun Mansion is still very solemn and solemn. The overall structure is simple and elegant, and the materials are of high quality. Mao Hongbin is dressed in black official uniform, and he is also very official.

But Lan Zhengyue still used the same rhetoric. She refused to admit that she had killed anyone, and also denied adultery and poisoning. Anyway, she just said, "If you don't admit it, it's not me. It's impossible. I don't dare!"

The soft screams and whimpering made Mao Hongbin very upset.

What can be done? If I don't get a severe punishment, I'm afraid I just don't want to admit it.

"Lan, you really don't want to fight, right? Come here, I'll be punished!" Mao Hongbin finally slapped the gavel, and the sound was very clear, which shocked them all.

Qin Chaoge paused with his killing stick on the ground, indicating that he was in response to Mao Hongbin's gavel. Several other famous military guards also stepped forward and pressed Lan Zhengyue to the ground. They tortured her and nailed her fingers with bamboo sticks, which are generally used for women.

This kind of punishment is to clamp the prisoner's ten fingers so that they are connected into one body. The pain is unbearable and can even lead to insanity. Another method is nailing the fingers with bamboo sticks, which will generally cause the nails to fall off. If the residue is not removed and remains in the skin, it will be even more painful. In mild cases, it may become inflamed, and in severe cases, the affected area must be scraped and cleaned.

Lan Zhengyue's screams really echoed in the lobby. Li Mingyuan stared at her with hatred on his face. Mao Hongbin quietly turned his head, and even covered his ears while touching his official hat deliberately.

He was sitting in the main seat in the lobby, behind him was a huge screen connected to the side door. At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he saw a woman's dress passing by the side door. Who dares to stand here? It must be a sheep offering its face.

Thinking of this, he was quite happy. However, when he heard Lan Zhengyue's shouting, he still held back and just looked at her with a slightly cold look in his eyes.

But at this moment, three or five red butterflies fluttered into the lobby and circled around Lan Zhengyue. After a while, more butterflies flew in and surrounded Lan Zhengyue. The execution guards were so frightened that they took a few steps back to look at this strange phenomenon.

One of the closest military guards suddenly shouted: "Quick... look!"

The red butterfly that flew in first landed on Lan Zhengyue's bloody fingers, seeming to be sucking her blood. Then several yellow or white butterflies that flew in also landed on her hands to suck blood. Soon those butterflies turned blood red. When they flew again, they were not dancing gracefully, but were all messed up. Trembling, flying and twisting, and even after struggling for a few times, it fell to the ground, shaking extremely violently.

Everyone saw this scene, and they were stunned and didn't know what to do. There is also a vague aroma floating in the air, adding to the weird atmosphere.

Even though Qin Chaoge was brave, he took a few steps back and looked at her and the butterflies. But I saw more and more butterflies flying in, as if the scene of that day was reappearing.

Then, someone shouted: "She is a monster! The Plum Demon has appeared again, and the world is going to be in chaos!"
