The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 464 Familiar Witnesses

Wei Lin's face turned pale.

She asked her servants to check back and forth in the alley. Except for the blood stains on the ground, there was no second person at all.

Where did the witness Jingli mentioned come from?

Could it be that she said that on purpose to scare people?

Uncle Jing and Mrs. Sun were at a loss. In the alley that day, apart from their family, they were the personal guards who killed them.

Could it be possible that this bitch actually wanted to use his personal guards as witnesses to trick him into mistaking the situation?

When Uncle Jing thought of this, cold sweat ran down his back. He did not dare to underestimate his niece's methods now.

If this is true, I am afraid that his and his wife's lives will be in danger.

Mr. Chen held down his pounding heart and wiped away the sweat on his forehead.

Dear mother, can you please stop being so scary?

He tried hard to maintain the situation in order to prevent the incident from going too far. If something really happened to the princess later, he would definitely not be able to withstand the prince's anger.

Who would have known that the princess's appearance from time to time would be life-threatening.

Song Dingming was also shocked, and then said angrily: "My dearest princess, the law of heaven is clear. As the princess of Chang'an City, you cannot engage in such tricks as buying and selling witnesses."

Jing Li said slowly: "Don't worry, the witnesses I invited will never be biased and cannot be bribed."

"Master Song, you can rest assured about this!"

Jing Li motioned to Geng Qi: "Master Song seems a little anxious, so why not bring the witnesses?"

As soon as Geng Qi clapped his hands, a group of personal guards immediately came out and brought several people up.

These people were covered in sacks from head to toe, so it was impossible to tell who they were!

Song Dingming sneered: "The princess and the witnesses are so tightly wrapped. Could it be that these witnesses cannot see the light?"

Jing Li remained motionless: "As Mr. Song said, these witnesses cannot see the light because they may die if they do!"

"Pretend to be a ghost!" Song Dingming snorted coldly.

After Geng Qi brought several people into the court, he took off the sacks from them.

Everyone in the courtroom changed their colors when they saw these people.

Wei Lin's face turned pale and she almost fainted from fear.

Baguio was also frightened and threw Wei Lin away.

"Ah!" Uncle Jing exclaimed, "Mother, are you a human or a ghost?"

Mrs. Jing clutched her chest, her expression was very ugly, and she said angrily: "What? You want me to die? Let me tell you, my old lady will not die!"

Song Dingming was stunned for a long time, and then he was stunned and said: "What is going on?"

"Didn't you say that the whole family was killed?"

"Shouldn't I be the one to ask you this?" Jing Li looked at her fingers leisurely: "I'm just staying at home, but you have to call me over and say that I committed the murder!"

"Didn't you see it with your own eyes and have witnesses and evidence?"

"Miss Wei, could you please explain what you saw with your own eyes?"

Jing Li looked directly at Wei Lin: "Didn't the book on Women's Ethics you wrote say that women are not allowed to talk nonsense or slander the truth?"

"Now, what's going on?"

Wei Lin felt a build-up of depression in her chest, weighing her down so heavily that she was about to collapse.No matter how ignorant she was, she should know by now that everything her father planned had fallen into the princess's trap.

"Mom, what's going on?" Uncle Jing felt his heart pounding with fear, and the cold sweat continued to erode him. The burning pain at the place where he was beaten made him unusually awake.

I'm afraid I'm really going to die this time!

"Pah!" Mrs. Jing didn't care about her son's injuries, she just slapped her son in the face.

"You heartless person, you actually want to murder your mother for money!"

Uncle Jing looked confused: "Mom, I have served you for decades. Even if I die, I will not harm you!"

Mrs. Jing sighed: "Do you think I will still believe you?"

"The merchants have all been recruited, and you actually teamed up with that guy surnamed Wei to harm my old lady!"

"No, no!" Uncle Jing looked guilty. At that time, Mr. Wei sent someone to pass the message. He should have agreed as soon as his mind got hot, but he really had no intention of killing me!
As soon as Mr. Chen heard that the surname was Wei, he hurriedly stopped Mrs. Jing: "Wait a minute, who do you think the surname is Wei?"

Mrs. Jing said angrily: "Who else could it be? It's this little goblin's father."

She looked Wei Lin up and down: "Tsk, tsk! Are you that little goblin who writes shit about women's virtues? Come on, get it. Your father wants to kill our family and steal my money. Why are you pretending to be noble?"

Wei Lin leaned against the pillar of the court, barely keeping her figure steady. She had always been a moral benchmark in Kyoto and Chang'an, but she never expected that she would be scolded so unpleasantly.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wei Lin said with difficulty.

She was not unaware of what her father was discussing with Uncle Song. It was obvious that the princess was now superior and saw through their plan.

Mr. Chen slapped the alarm and said to Old Mrs. Jing: "Quiet! Everyone, please be quiet!"

Then he pointed one finger at Jing Huai: "Boy, tell me what this is all about!"

Jing Huai suddenly moved from a place where he could not see the light to being in a courtroom. He was so flustered that he could not react for a moment.

Mr. Chen shouted angrily again: "Can't you hear what I'm asking?"

Jing Huai came back to his senses and said tremblingly: "Come back to me, sir, that day we..."

That day, they did not dare to go out of the city, so they planned to go through Maoer Hutong and go to the merchant's house to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the alley, they were blocked by a dozen or so royal guards in blood wolf uniforms, who told them that the princess was coming to kill them.

The family was in despair. How could these defenseless people escape the pursuit of the royal guards?

But this group of people didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but they actually allowed Uncle Jing and his wife to escape.

Seeing his parents escaping, when Jing Huai and others felt that they were certain to die, suddenly a dozen guards jumped from the alley wall, and these people instantly got into a fight.

It's just that the speed and power of these later personal guards are not comparable to those of the previous personal guards.

In an instant, they all captured this group of people, together with several members of their family, and were quietly brought into the cellar of a courtyard next to Maoer Alley.

Those who were brought there, as well as the merchant, were all locked in the cellar.

He was locked up in a dark cellar, hanging on for several days with only a bowl of water and a steamed bun, and no one was seen again.

Mrs. Jing and her grandchildren were scared to death. They tried to talk to others, but they ignored them and left in a hurry every time after delivering the meal.

The merchant tried to commit suicide several times, but was saved every time. Then in front of everyone in the Jing family, he was either whipped or branded.

The red-hot iron made a sizzling sound on the skin and flesh, and the smell of the meat being roasted made everyone in the Jing family feel frightened, but they were forced to look at it.

After a few days of this, when the Jing family was in despair, a few more people were thrown in.
