The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 48
Liu He lowered his head, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said in his heart: This is said lightly, your big Buddha came here with the old master of the Hu family, and the meaning is already very clear.No matter what is right or wrong in this case, the balance of my trial will have to shift towards the Hu family.

What was said inside and outside the words, he had completely forgotten that he deliberately made things difficult for the Chu family before, and even had no intention of offending the Hu family from the bottom of his heart.It seems that the final result has been attributed to the third prince who came to hear the trial suddenly.

"Come here, show the third prince a seat." With so many people watching, Liu He couldn't continue to push back, so he had to order someone to bring a chair, and let Zhao Shenggao sit in the courtroom to hear the trial.

Afterwards, after thinking about it, he asked Hu Boyi to sit aside.

This time, the person who came to sue was still standing in the hall, while the defendant was sitting majestically beside the prince, with such a dissatisfied expression that the onlookers could see some playfulness.

A cold light flashed in Chu Qing's eyes, but it was inconvenient to speak at this moment.Because, if she had no illusions, she felt two eyes looking back and forth, with scrutiny and coldness.And the owner of this pair of eyes must be that handsome man like a white lotus.

what is he looking atWhy did you notice yourself?
Chu Qing pondered in her heart, her eyes lowered even lower.

Snapped--

The gavel was photographed, and also blocked everyone's thoughts.They turned their attention to Liu He one after another. This time, he felt a little uncomfortable, and an embarrassed look flashed across his face.

After all, he has been an official for so long, and it was the first time that the prince sat aside to listen to the trial during the opening of the court.

After coughing twice, Liu He's face changed, and he sternly said to Chu Zhengyang: "Chu Zhengyang, your pleading said that the guards bought murderers and set fire to your warehouse. Is there anyone to prove it?"

"Report to Master Liu..." Chu Zhengyang opened his mouth to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Hu Boyi who stood up and clasped his hands to Liu He.

Liu He frowned, feeling a little displeased that his trial rhythm was interrupted by someone, but he put on a smiling face and asked kindly, "Master Hu, do you have something to say?"

Hu Boyi didn't pay attention to Liu He's expression at all, but the third prince sitting beside him already made him feel full of confidence.He looked at Chu Zhengyang arrogantly, and sneered: "I also want to sue the Chu family for breach of contract. I couldn't hand over the goods according to the time stipulated in the contract, which caused a shortage of supply for my Hu family's business. I also ask my lord to be clear and let the Chu family Compensate my Hu family for losses according to the contract."

As soon as these words came out, anger flashed across Chu Zhengyang's face, but he clenched his fist to suppress it.Chu Qing's expression was indifferent, without any expression.

Liu He rolled his eyes, and immediately echoed: "What does the Hu family mean, that the Chu family couldn't hand over the goods, so they burned the warehouse by themselves to find an excuse, and pushed the matter to the Hu family, in an attempt to get away with it? "

Hu Boyi showed an inexplicable smile and nodded.At the same time, he pointed at Chu Zhengyang heartbrokenly: "Brother Chu, we have cooperated for many years. If you have any difficulties, you can tell them. I will definitely not make things difficult for you and me. Such a disgraceful thing, let me wait for An Ning merchants to chill?"

"You!" Chu Zhengyang was burning with anger, his eyes fixed on Hu Boyi who was acting at the side, and he almost burst into flames.

But the white lotus-like man was asleep with his eyes closed, as if what happened in the courtroom didn't interest him at all.The people who were watching were also discussing at this moment.Some people remembered the good name of the Chu family's business and did not want to believe Hu Boyi's words, while the other party was obviously from the Hu family's side, and kept using words to instigate among the crowd.

There was a lot of noise in the courtroom, so Liu He had to pat down the gavel to maintain order.

Everyone's voices fell silent, but a voice as light as an empty valley rang out: "Today is the delivery date, today is not over, how did Mr. Hu know that the Chu family company could not deliver the goods?"

The voice was very clear in the suddenly quiet courtroom. It not only made everyone stunned for a moment, but also made Zhao Chenggao, who had been asleep, raise his eyes and take a deep look at Chu Qing.

That glance, with indescribable penetrating power, seemed to want to see through her.

"A woman, how can you speak in the courtroom?" Hu Boyi who reacted coldly snorted, looked at Chu Zhengyang full of sarcasm, and taunted: "Boss Chu, I think you are really getting better and better. .Can a boudoir girl come to the court?"

In the laws of Southern Chu, there is no provision that a woman who has not left the cabinet cannot go to court.However, as far as the folks are concerned, women who have not left the court are generally raised in deep boudoirs, and such matters of going to court with others naturally do not require her to come forward.But today Chu Zhengyang brought Chu Qing together, which is really puzzling.

In fact, Chu Qing appeared here today, apart from worrying about his father's wounded confrontation with others, he also wanted to know about the ancient trial process.In her business career, it is not that she has never gone to court to resolve disputes. She wanted to see how the interrogation in this time and space was, but the current results disappointed her.

"Boss Hu, I don't need to bother you about the rules of my Chu family." Chu Zhengyang, who was hiding his anger, replied indifferently, not caring about the sarcasm in his words.

Hu Boyi snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Liu He looked left and right, and then secretly looked at the third prince, but saw that he didn't intend to speak, so he had to bite the bullet and ask: "Chu Zhengyang, according to your intention, the goods on the Hu family's order can be delivered as promised. out?"

Although it was Chu Qing who mentioned it just now, Liu He directly put it under the name of Chu Zhengyang, also ignoring the existence of Chu Qing.Even if she 'read widely' to help the Holy Majesty solve his doubts, the plaque of 'wisdom eyes and treasures' bestowed by Dao Yu is the same.In his heart, Chu Qing was just a little girl.Getting a plaque was just a fluke.

In fact, I am afraid that after the Chu family received the imperial plaque, this is also the voice of most people.

Regarding this, Chu Qing just lowered her gaze, and the corners of her mouth were curved, but no one could understand the smile behind the veil.

Fusu and Mingliu kept silent all the time, before going to the court, Chu Qing ordered them to keep silent and listen more, thinking about everything.At this moment, they are all trying to figure out their expressions and words, thinking.

Chu Zhengyang could only raise his head and answer the prefect's question: "My lord, if Caomin's expectations are not bad, at this moment, the accountant of my Chu family's firm has already escorted the goods traded with the Hu family to the Hu's firm for delivery. If your lord has If you have doubts, let the police go to investigate."

Hu Boyi's heart jumped, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

However, before he could speak, Liu He ordered the servants to hurry to Hu's House.

At this moment, the courtroom became quiet again, as if waiting for the report from the yamen servant who had gone before to continue.Liu He drank tea with the third prince, while Hu Boyi stared at Chu Zhengyang anxiously. The housekeeper behind him had already quietly left, and he might be worried that something might change.
