Chapter 41: Trial in Court
As soon as she returned to General Riyu's Mansion, Pregnant Qiao didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she called Xiaoqing and couldn't wait to tell her the good news.
Xiaoqing was very surprised when she heard this. Although she kept silent, her deep hatred for Fuyou was always deep in her heart. It was unforgettable and painful! She dared not forget it all the time.
But what Xiaoqing didn't expect was that Pregnant Qiao was also thinking about her affairs, which made Xiaoqing inexplicably moved!
When she thinks of this person floating around, Xiaoqing gnashes her teeth in hatred and her eyes are split open!
Therefore, when Xiaoqing heard the news, her first reaction was that she couldn't believe it! Then she burst into tears and was so happy that she felt overwhelmed.
Pregnant Qiao stepped forward and held Xiaoqing's hand with a calm and firm expression. Xiaoqing looked at the determined look in Pregnant Qiao's eyes and was infected, as if her heart was filled with strength! She nodded gently to Pregnant Qiao.
.
This hatred has tortured Xiao Qing, who has been haggard and sleepless for the past few years. Unexpectedly, after meeting Pregnant Qiao, she would have the opportunity to take revenge so soon!
Xiao Qing knew that Fuyou was also involved in this matter, but she still unconsciously gave all the credit to Yu Qiao. She felt that since she recognized Yu Qiao as her master, her happy event was a happy one.
Then another one.
I just wish I could practice cultivation as soon as possible and gain more skills so that I can repay my master for his kindness.
Pregnant Qiao saw Xiao Qing's expression in her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
She has always been secretly planning to avenge Daqing and Xiaoqing. Now she can fulfill Xiaoqing's wish and untie her heart knot without having to come forward in person. Pregnant Qiao is naturally happy for her in her heart.
Pregnant Qiao thought in her mind that when the trial date comes, this matter will be settled, and if not, she will seek justice for Xiaoqing!
…
The case of the headless corpse had a great impact on Fengdu City. Therefore, on the day when the case was heard in court, the entire Fengdu City was deserted.
The residents of Fengdu City walked out of their homes one after another and took to the streets. Groups of small and large groups spontaneously gathered in front of the Yama Luodian Gate, talking in low voices and patiently waiting for the outcome of the case's trial.
There were even bolder and more trustworthy people who poked their heads directly in front of the Yama Hall, hoping to see clearly what was going on inside the Yama Hall. However, they were blocked by the little devils with evil looks on their faces and armed with water and fire sticks.
Pregnant Qiao and Xiao Qing were also dressed in Tsing Yi, soap shoes, and men's clothing, and mingled among the crowd.
Pregnant Qiao wears a black square scarf on her head, and a little beard on her chin. If you don't look closely, she really looks like a handsome young man from someone's family, but her stature is a bit short.
, a little thinner.
Pregnant Qiao pulled Xiaoqing and kept moving through the crowd, looking left and right with her eyes wide open, as if she was looking for something.
"Master, the meeting is about to begin, why haven't we seen Mr. Huanshu yet?"
Xiaoqing wiped the sweat from her forehead with an anxious look on her face. She had been waiting for this day for too long.
Nai Qiao understood the anxiety in Xiao Qing's heart and said: "Don't worry, since Mr. Huan told us to wait for him in front of the palace gate, he will not break his promise."
Sure enough, when Nai Qiao raised her head, she saw Huanshu striding over from the crowd and waving to them.
Pregnant Qiao quickly walked over with Xiaoqing.
Huanshu's forehead was also covered with sweat, and he could tell at a glance that he was here in a hurry.
Huanshu looked at Pregnancy Qiao, and then at Xiaoqing beside her, and said: "When you enter the hall later, you two will stand behind me. No matter what happens in the hall, don't act rashly. Please note it down."
Already?"
Seeing that Yu Qiao and Xiao Qing were nodding frequently, he smiled slightly and motioned for Yu Qiao and Xiao Qing to follow him. The three of them walked towards the Yama Hall in a dusty manner.
At this time, the gate of the Yama Palace in Fengdu City was open, and it was crowded with people. A group of imps holding water and fire sticks stared at everyone with murderous intent, fearing that there would be people who disturbed the order and caused trouble for no reason.
In the Yama Hall, the person sitting in the middle of the hall could be considered an old acquaintance of Yu Qiao, it was Judge Cui with a solemn look on his face.
Judge Cui had already put on a bright red official robe and a black gauze hat on his head. He pursed his thin lips and looked at the people outside the hall with a serious face.
Wu Chang, who was dressed in black, was also in the hall at this moment, sitting on Judge Cui's left hand side. His expression was indifferent, his eyes were lightly closed, he raised his hand and tapped the armrest of the armchair repeatedly.
Nai Qiao and Xiao Qing followed Huan Shu closely and walked into the main hall.
Judge Cui quickly lifted his robe and stood up to greet him. Huan Shu slightly bowed his hands in greeting to Judge Cui. He glanced at Wuchang in black from the corner of his eye, and saw that he still had a neutral expression on his face, so he ignored him.
Huan Shu sat in the empty seat on the right, and Nao Qiao and Xiao Qing also stood behind him.
Pregnant Qiao also secretly glanced at Wu Chang, who was sitting across from him in black clothes, and happened to meet his scrutinizing gaze, which was sharp and full of aggression. Pregnant Qiao withdrew her gaze and hurriedly looked at her nose and eyes, and stood still with her nose and nose in mind.
Judge Cui still had a cold face that was impartial and selfless. He slapped his face in shock and said in a deep voice: "Leave the criminals alive and bring them to court!"
The little devils on the left side of the hall had wide eyes and pointed teeth, and they said in unison: "No evil"
On the right side of the hall, the little ghosts showed ferocious faces and dark horns, shouting loudly: "There is no evil!"
The sounds are long, echoing each other, rising and falling one after another, giving people an extremely majestic and intimidating feeling.
Soon, two brats escorted a man dressed as a scholar. Before Pregnant Qiao could see his face clearly, the man knelt down in the hall and kept saying: "Sir! This young man is wronged!"
Although Pregnant Qiao didn't see the description of the person clearly, seeing Xiao Qing's face as white as paper and her body shaking like chaff, she guessed that this person must be the one floating around.
Pregnant Qiao stretched out her hand and quietly held Xiaoqing's hand, squeezing it twice. Seeing that Xiaoqing's mood had eased a little, and her heart felt a little more at ease, she raised her eyes and looked up into the hall again.
Judge Cui slapped the alarm and said loudly: "The criminals from Xiangliu Village are floating around, committing murders in Fengdu City, killing several women in succession and cutting off their heads. Their methods are brutal and the crimes are heinous! Now that the evidence is conclusive, do you know your guilt?"
Fuyou finally raised his head. He didn't know if it was because of being locked up in prison for days. His slightly open white robe was stained with stains, his messy bun was stained with dirt, and there seemed to be a suspicious look on his face.
Things, even a pair of shoes, were nowhere to be found.
The whole person looked disheveled, unkempt, and embarrassed, with no color left to catch the eye.
