But even if he knew that Wu Shan had stolen Liu Shi's money, as long as he didn't admit it, no one could do anything to him.
How could a person like Wu Shan spit out the money he had swallowed? He would never admit it on his own initiative!
Liu Shi had already thought of this, so he was just silent.
He was extremely grateful that the people could stand by him and speak out for him today.
The scene became silent, and the air seemed to freeze.
Even Shen Ning stopped talking.
Xiao Ru was anxious and wanted to step forward again, but was glared at by Zhui Feng.
Seeing this situation, Lin Fangyuan finally cleared his throat and slapped the gavel, attracting everyone's attention to himself.
He didn't look at anyone else, just looked at Shen Ning: "Girl, have you finished the trial?"
There is a sense of pride behind the words.
Humph, I thought you could pick out someone, but the result is the same as mine
Then Liu Shi is like a gourd with its mouth cut off. Even if he is asked to say it, what will happen? Isn't it because he can't produce evidence
"Well, after the trial, Wu Shan did not steal Liu Shi's money because Liu Shi could not provide evidence." Shen Ning said.
When Xiaoru heard this, she became anxious again. She never expected that even the eldest lady would be helpless.
Are we just going to let them send good people to jail
This... this world is so unfair!
The people also shook their heads and sighed speechlessly.
Lin Fangyuan couldn't hide the pride on his face, and a smile appeared on his always livid face.
"Since the girl's trial is over, how about upholding my original verdict?" He asked very politely.
On the surface, it was to save Shen Ning's face, but in fact, he was afraid that Zhui Feng would cause trouble for him.
Because he has a guilty conscience.
There was two hundred taels of silver given to him by Wu Shan in his back hall box, so he stood on Wu Shan's side and put Liu Shi in jail without hesitation.
"Okay." Shen Ning didn't say much and quietly stepped aside.
Liu Shi's eyes once again showed a look of despair, but he had already figured it out. No one in this world could clear his name. As long as he proved to the people that he had a clear conscience, that would be enough.
Lin Fangyuan felt proud and was about to order the continued execution of the cane on Liu. Suddenly, he heard a noise outside and frowned.
"What happened? Who dares to make a loud noise at the yamen gate!" he shouted.
Immediately, a yamen servant rushed to the yamen gate. Soon, the yamen servant came back with a strange look on his face and pursed his lips twice.
"What's going on!" Lin Fangyuan asked.
It stands to reason that he can judge whether it is a good thing or a bad thing from the expression of the yamen servant, but the expression on the yamen servant's face is really complicated, including surprise, joy and fear.
"Back to your lord, yes yes... the imperial envoy has arrived!" The yamen servant swallowed a mouthful of saliva before he could speak.
"What?!"
Lin Fangyuan suddenly jumped up from the chair. Because he moved too fast, his knee hit the table leg, which made his face change color in pain.
But at this time, he could not care about the pain, and asked hurriedly: "Is it true or false? You are not mistaken, are you?"
The yamen officer originally thought he was deceived, but he rubbed his eyes for a long time and found that he was not wrong at all, so he hurried back to report.
"That's right, it's really the imperial ambassador." He insisted, "Even if I mistakenly admit the imperial ambassador, it's impossible for the imperial guards sent by the imperial court to admit their mistake as well." He said.
