"..." Lin Fangyuan cursed again in his stomach, but he had to agree with Shen Ning's words.
"Well, yes, yes."
The expression on his face was extremely ugly.
To actually let a yellow-headed girl be silenced in public, it is simply a loss of prestige.
After being an official for so many years, this was the first time that he felt so aggrieved. He couldn't let go of his anger or let out his anger.
"Haha, Your Majesty also said yes, so the little girl will try the case for you." Shen Ning smiled again.
When did I agree to let you try the case
Lin Fangyuan shouted in his heart.
But he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.
Shen Ning ignored it and turned around to look at Liu Shi, who was kneeling on the ground.
Although Liu Shi didn't get punished because she stopped in time, he was stunned by what happened next. He knelt there like a piece of wood, motionless.
"Liu Shi, you have to answer whatever I ask you. You can't tell half a lie. Do you understand?" Shen Ning asked.
Liu Shi hadn't recovered from the shock yet, he just looked at her blankly.
"Hey, my eldest lady is asking you something. Just speak! Speak out boldly if you have anything to say or if you have been wronged. My eldest lady will make the decision for you."
Xiaoru also squeezed to the front of the crowd and shouted to Liu Shi, while glaring at him with hatred.
Liu Shi's dull eyes turned to Xiao Ru and then to Shen Ning.
Shen Ning gave him a gentle and encouraging smile.
"If you have any grievances, just tell me."
Although it was just a faint word or a smile, it was like a warm current poured into Liu Shi's heart, causing all the blood in his body to flow.
He was full of injustice, but he was beaten up by his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, and was locked up in a cold and damp prison. He finally expected to be raised in court, but he didn't expect that the county magistrate would not allow him to distinguish a word. The bone-chilling heart became even colder, so cold that he no longer felt anything.
I even despaired of my entire life.
He no longer wanted to live.
But now!
Although the girl in front of him was young, her words inspired him to have the courage to live.
Yes, he had suffered such a great injustice, but he had to hold it in his heart and couldn't say a single word. He was about to burst.
Even if he dies, he must speak his mind before he dies!
He wanted everyone to know that he, Liu Shi, was wrongly accused!
Although he did not believe that the young girl in front of him would clear his name, that was not important, not at all.
The important thing is that she gave herself a chance to speak, a chance to shout out her injustice.
that's enough!
"I... I want to say it!" Liu Shi suddenly opened his mouth. He wanted to shout, but he didn't speak for too long, and his throat had become hoarse, and the words were unclear.
Shen Ning immediately nodded to him and smiled encouragingly.
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly, we are all here to listen to you." She said softly.
Liu Shi felt warm in his heart, and his excitement gradually calmed down. He glanced at Shen Ning gratefully and nodded heavily.
After taking a deep breath and calming down, he turned his head, not looking at Lin Wenyuan sitting behind the publican, nor at the Wu Shan couple sitting aside, but facing the people blocked outside the fence. People, speak again.
