Chapter 52 The evidence is conclusive
)
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit dull. Shu He waved his hand and saw nearly a hundred people walking out from behind the Xiangcheng Guard Corps.
As soon as he saw these people, Liu Cheng thought it was not good. These people were all nobles who attended the banquet yesterday. He soon noticed that Shu Meng and Shu Lei were among them.
Shu He walked over and saluted these people slightly, and then said, "You are all VIP guests at the banquet on the day the prince was assassinated, and they are also witnesses on the scene. Now, Shu wants to ask everyone to recall what you have seen and heard that day!"
After saying that, he turned to Liu Feng and smiled: "Except for the three clan leaders, all the people who participated in the banquet that day have arrived. We can testify on the street. I believe that the truth will be announced soon!"
Just a moment later, a blond nobleman came out in the crowd: "Report to the city lord, I am Griya. On the day of the banquet, I was a little panicked, but I also knew about the scene. At that time, the patriarch Liu Feng was next to His Highness Borg. Later, His Highness's guard died strangely. Of course, I was not able to speculate casually, so I had to report the truth!"
Liu Feng looked at the man sarcastically and said, "Gria, don't forget that your business was facing a crisis the year before yesterday. Who lent you money to survive the crisis!"
Griya was slightly stunned, with a hint of hesitation on his face, but as soon as he touched Shuhe's profound gaze beside him, he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Captain Liu Feng, although you have been kind to me, I can only tell the truth for the nobles of Xiangcheng!" After saying that, Griya quickly retreated and did not have the courage to stay in front of the crowd for another minute.
After Griah, other nobles and celebrities also came out to testify, and all the testimony was unanimously directed at the Liu family. Now they all knew that the Liu family was the biggest scapegoat, and betting on the Liu family was their hope of life.
Suddenly, a young man from the Dongfang family shouted: "And Liu Cheng, the fifth son of the Liu family, was standing at the window at that time. I remember that the arrows were shot from that window. Think about it, if the Liu family did not know in advance or had contact with the murderer, why didn't the arrows shoot him?"
Shu He nodded and smiled, obviously very satisfied with the testimony of these people. Then he looked at the Liu family and finally looked at Liu Cheng: "It turns out that Liu Cheng, the fifth son of the Liu family, was involved at this time. I wonder what the explanation is for Liu Cheng's little brother?"
Many people in the Liu family started to curse and angrily denounced the shamelessness of the nobles. It can be said that many of the nobles in Xiangcheng have received favors from the Liu family, and most of them have direct business dealings with the Liu family. However, now the Liu family is facing a crisis, these people are shameless in taking advantage of the situation.
Liu Cheng is not the spoiled nobles' children. He knew that it would be useless to refute this time. In the words of his previous life, it was "people who do not punish themselves for themselves and punish themselves in heaven and earth." Therefore, since these nobles appeared, he had expected this ending.
He just said lightly: "I want to hear what the Shu family's eldest lady and the eldest lady said!"
Among all these witnesses, Shu Meng can be regarded as his friend. He doesn't care about being plotted against by others, but he cares about his friend's sincerity. Moreover, Shu Meng was by his side at that time, and Shu Meng was clearly aware of the situation at that time.
Liu Feng and Liu Heng looked at Liu Cheng deeply. The nature of the fifth son of the Liu family was once again beyond their expectations. After being framed, no one of the other Liu family members yelled and called for grievances. Only Liu Cheng did not make any excuses and remained calm in his actions.
"If you survive today's crisis, this child will have unlimited potential in the future and will become a great achievement!" Liu Heng and Liu Feng said in their hearts.
On the opposite teahouse, a cold light flashed in Dongfangqun's eyes: "This child must be eliminated, otherwise it will cause a great disaster!"
Shu He frowned, and Shu Lei was more at ease, but Shu Meng was young and she seemed a little unwilling to testify before. However, at this moment, he could not refuse. Other nobles could come out to testify. If he did not let his daughter come out to testify, it would undoubtedly be difficult to convince people.
Perhaps others will think: "Other nobles can testify, why can't his city lord's daughter?"
After pondering for a while, Shu He had no choice but to agree, and nodded to Shu Lei and Shu Meng in the crowd.
A trace of apologies flashed in Shu Lei's eyes and he nodded quickly: "Liu Cheng was indeed by the window at that time, but I didn't see the specific situation clearly!"
Liu Cheng nodded and smiled at her. At this critical moment, Shu Lei was already very good without taking any harm.
He turned to look at Shu Meng, with a smile on his lips, and he calmly waited for her answer.
Feeling Liu Cheng's gaze like a pool, Shu Meng felt sad and even trembled. She knew very well that she was closest to Liu Cheng. If she testified for Liu Cheng, Liu Cheng's charge would probably be invalid. But if she did that, then her father and family might face a disaster of prison or even death.
"Brother Liu Cheng, I'm sorry!" Shu Meng muttered to herself in her heart.
Shu Mengsi raised her head with all her strength. When she saw these calm black eyes, she felt even more apologized.
"I don't know, I was shocked at that time!" Shu Meng could not testify for Liu Cheng, nor could she deliberately slander him. She had the only answer to speak.
After saying this, her whole body was as if she had been drained, her face was a little pale, and she looked at Liu Cheng with a little sadness. As she imagined, Liu Cheng should be very despised or even hated her at this time, right?
However, the black eyes she saw were still calm, and even with a hint of relief and smile, her heart twitched even more.
Liu Cheng was already very satisfied with Shu Meng's answer. In her and her family's lives, she chose not to help each other, which was already very embarrassing to her.
Shu Lei and Shu Meng remained neutral, but most of the other nobles all pointed out the Liu family, which was enough to make the Liu family unable to turn over.
Shu He said coldly: "Class Chief Liu Feng, Elder Liu Hengda, do you have anything to say now?"
Liu Heng remained silent, while Liu Feng sighed.
Liu Xiao murmured blankly: "It's not like this, why is this happening? Dongfang Ping, you lied to me, didn't you say that as long as I stun my father at a critical moment, the patriarch would be me?"
Now he has seen through it, and the Liu family is almost out of life at this moment.
Liu Heng, a powerful man in Tianyuan, had such a sharp hearing, and Liu Xiao's words fell into his ears without missing a word.
Under the surprised gaze of others, Liu Heng walked to Liu Xiao, slapped him in a big slap, and shouted: "The Liu family does not have a beast like you, get out!"
Liu Heng slapped Liu Xiao directly and Liu Xiao suddenly woke up: "Great Elder, I, I was wrong!"
Suddenly, Liu Heng ignored him, looked at Liu Cheng with a firm look, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "I can see that the younger generation of the Liu family, you are the most determined and escape alive!"
Then, he shouted: "The Liu family members, go back to the yard, there are no cowardly children in the Liu family!"
Shuhe yelled at the Xiangcheng Guards: "The crime of rebellion against the Liu family is confirmed and taken down!"
