Your Majesty, you don't want your secret to be known.

In shock, Gao Gong suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye - Zhao Youde!

He raised his eyes slightly and immediately looked at the people watching outside the hall.

At this time, the Minister of Justice Zhao Youde was standing in the front row of the crowd.

Gao Gong then noticed that Zhao Youde had been standing among the crowd, watching him try the case.

His eyelids drooped slightly and he suddenly felt a headache.

Now Li Yunshu is clearly relying on the power of the empress and using his status as an imperial envoy to make his case.

Zhao Youde had been standing outside the hall "supervising" and putting invisible pressure on him.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he felt blessed.

Zhao Youde is the Minister of Justice. Since he wants to try the case, why don't I give the case to him?

Since this is a murder case, it must be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for review after the case is closed."

He only needed to charge Li Yunshu with a crime that could be serious or minor, and then hand the case over to the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice will definitely review and re-examine the case. As for how Zhao Youde is tried, it has nothing to do with her.

Even if the empress wanted to blame someone, she couldn't blame herself.

As for what crime Li Yunshu will ultimately be sentenced for, that will depend on the Ministry of Justice's opinion.

Thinking of this, Gao Gong smiled. He couldn't help but admire his own wit.

Snapped!

Gao Gong spoke loudly after slamming the gavel.

"Since you have confessed your sin, according to the law—"

"Wait a minute!" Li Yunshu raised his hand to interrupt Gao Gong's words, and then asked, "Sir, may I ask what the law says about beating the imperial envoy?"

Gao Gong spoke subconsciously.

"The crime deserves death by slow slicing and the extermination of the three clans—"

As soon as he said the word "clan", he suddenly reacted.

Zhao Yi beat Li Yunshu?

If this is true, then things will be difficult.

He turned to look at the captain with a questioning look.

The captain of the police could only lower his head and pretend not to see it.

He only knew that Li Yunshu killed someone in the street, and he didn't know that he was beaten by Zhao Yi.

Gao Gong took a deep breath, already having a bad feeling in his heart.

As soon as Li Yunshu came into the classroom, he felt something was wrong.

A murderer who is so fearless in front of him must have something to rely on.

At first, he simply thought that Li Yunshu dared to act recklessly because he had the support of the empress behind him.

It was not until now that he realized that she was waiting for him here.

However, even if he figured out the cause and effect of the matter, the case had to continue to be tried.

"Are you saying Zhao Yi hit you?"

Li Yunshu nodded and then looked behind him.

"Many villagers were there at the time. They are witnesses. You will know the truth once you ask them."

Zhao Yi went too far and didn't leave him any way out.

Don't push an honest person to the edge, otherwise he won't even have the chance to kneel down.

As soon as Li Yunshu finished speaking, someone in the crowd spoke up.

"No, I can testify to that!"

Someone takes the lead, and others immediately follow.

"I can also testify!"

"I bear witness!"

“We all saw it with our own eyes!”

At this moment, regardless of whether they had seen it or not, the people outside the lobby were all clamoring to be witnesses.

Many of them had their lives ruined because of the Zhao family's spiritual blessed land.

Zhao Yi's death was a great relief to them.

Seeing this, Li Yunshu felt slightly relieved.

He wanted to use the support of the people and his status as an imperial envoy to put pressure on the government.

In this way, even without the intervention of the empress, he could not be convicted.

Looking at the angry crowd, Gao Gong slammed the gavel several times in succession.

"Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!"

He originally wanted to throw this hot potato to the Ministry of Justice, but now that this has happened, Li Yunshu has found a reason to kill.

If he was acquitted directly, how would he explain to Zhao Youde?

boom!

Outside the lobby, a shocking gust of wind swept out, and the onlookers were blown back several steps before they could barely stop.

The original voices of agreement came to an abrupt end, and the onlookers all stared at the man in the center of the crowd with some fear.

Zhao Youde stared at Li Yunshu with a gloomy look. He knew that he had to speak at this time, otherwise things would get out of control.

"Gao Fuyin, anyone who roars in court will be punished with 20 strokes of the cane at the least, or exiled to Lingnan at the worst."

Li Yunshu glanced at Zhao Youde, raised his head slightly, and saw the other party's entry.

[The hatred for killing my son is irreconcilable. Li Yunshu, you must die! ]

Hey!

Li Yunshu's eyes widened and he leaned back tactically.

Revenge for the murder of a son?

"May I ask who you are?"

Zhao Youde snorted coldly.

"Minister of Justice, Zhao Youde!"

Chapter 9 The Yi Tribe

Li Yunshu's pupils trembled, and the entry above Zhao Yi's head appeared.

【My father is Zhao Youde! 】

Last night, he saw an entry among the officials outside the Taoist temple.

[Zhao Youde has no fertility at all. All his sons are mine o(^｀)o]

At this moment, two entries about Zhao Youde all appeared in his mind.

Therefore, Zhao Youde believed that Zhao Yi was his son born to him and his concubine.

In fact, the concubine framed him, and Zhao Yi’s biological father was another official in the court.

He carefully sorted out the relationship and looked at Zhao Youde again, who was simply glowing green.

You've been cheated on, and you're still helping someone else's son.

Thinking of this, Li Yunshu couldn't help but discover a more critical problem.

If he killed Zhao Yi, he would not only offend his fake father Zhao Youde, but also his real father in the court!

After thinking it through, Li Yunshu moved closer to Zhao Youde and spoke.

"Actually, Zhao Yi is not your son."

Zhao Youde retorted subconsciously.

"You bullshit!"

Li Yunshu felt helpless, he knew that the other party would not believe him even if he said it.

"Okay, okay, he's your son."

"presumptuous!"

Zhao Youde shouted angrily. After all, Zhao Yi was just his illegitimate son. How could this matter be brought to light?

He turned to look at Gao Gong and said loudly.

"Gao Fuyin, he slandered me!"

Li Yunshu: (⊙o⊙)…

It’s wrong if it’s your son, and it’s also wrong if it’s not your son. So is he your son or not?

At this moment, he suddenly realized.

"illegitimate child?"

Your circle is really chaotic.

Zhao Youde had no idea what Li Yunshu was thinking. He just thought that the other party was deliberately distracting everyone's attention.

So, he ignored Li Yunshu's nonsense and brought the topic back to the case.

"Ignorance is not a crime. Even if Zhao Yi was the first to do it, how could you kill someone in the street?"

"Excuse me, Lord Shangshu, which article in the laws of the Great Chu says that ignorance is not a crime?"

"you--"
