Wu Ye is really a rare six-tailed fox demon.
Ye Xingtong couldn't tell what kind of state of mind she was in now.
It's unclear.
But he already knew that Wu Ye was a fox demon and the supreme king of the demon world, so his surprised look only lasted for a short moment before he was relieved.
The eyes were closed tightly, the lips were slightly pursed, and the six smooth and soft long tails were still swaying slightly despite being in a coma.
There seemed to be a glimmer of light.
Ye Xingtong sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him quietly, as if this glance lasted eternity.
That's a very strange feeling.
Worry? guard? Feeling distressed? Or something else.
Gently holding his chest, Ye Xingtong felt depressed inside, a feeling of being unable to breathe.
A knock on the door outside broke the silence.
Ye Xingtong stood up and put down the curtain.
Turn around and walk over to open the door.
A serious man wearing a guard uniform and holding a long sword nodded and said in a stiff tone: "Miss Ye, my prince asked you to go to the government office to testify."
He said and made a gesture of invitation.
Ye Xingtong's heart moved, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. Is this considered another compulsion
She had tried her best to avoid him.
She could tell at a glance that this guard was trained in the palace. Only those trained in the palace would have such a calm and powerful aura and meticulous etiquette.
"What else did Prince Xuan say?" Ye Xingtong stood by the door with no intention of leaving.
The guard showed no expression at all and said: "My prince said that if Miss Ye minds what he did together, he will come to apologize to Miss Ye in person and ask Miss Ye to give him a chance to make amends."
A chance to make amends? She didn't think that someone as outstanding as Jun Yifan, who looked at everything, would apologize to her.
Anyway, the two of them were going to meet sooner or later, but it was just too early now.
Ye Xingtong stepped forward: "Let's go!"
…
When Ye Xingtong arrived, there were many people outside pointing and talking, most of them angry abuse and criticism towards Magistrate Chen.
County Magistrate Chen was neatly dressed and kneeling on the ground, with his head raised high and no sign of remorse on his face.
On both sides were the palace guards standing neatly and solemnly.
I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
The Emperor of Li Kingdom actually asked Jun Yifan to come out, and also asked him to bring hundreds of imperial guards to protect his safety.
It's really no ordinary pampering for him.
"Your Majesty, Miss Ye is here." The guard said and stepped aside.
Ye Xingtong raised his eyes slightly, cupped his hands, nodded and said: "Prince Xuan!"
A man suddenly shouted angrily from above: "How brave! Miss Ye, the person sitting above is Prince Xuan, why don't you kneel down quickly!"
Ye Xingtong looked up at him when he heard a familiar voice.
It was the master, the master next to Magistrate Chen. He glanced sideways as if nothing had happened. Magistrate Chen, who still did not admit his mistake and looked aloof, suddenly felt sad for Magistrate Chen.
Even the people around him have abandoned him. Is County Magistrate Chen going to make a desperate move
Jun Yifan raised his head slightly to stop the master and said calmly: "No problem!"
The master broke out in a cold sweat.
I was holding back the words I wanted to say like cannonballs.
Ever since he learned that Prince Xuan was coming, he already knew that Wu Jianyuan was definitely Prince Xuan's man.
He then made up his mind to betray Magistrate Chen and seek refuge with Prince Xuan.
Although Ye Xingtong didn't want to face him, she had to look at him now.
Today, Jun Yifan is sitting in the upper seat, casually playing with a small wooden board in her hand. If she sees it correctly, it is a gavel that officials use to increase their power and increase the solemn atmosphere in the hall.
But he treated her like a plaything.
At this time, he was wearing a moon-white silver-threaded robe with dark patterns and flowers. His head was loosely tied with a mutton-fat jade hairpin, less drooping, and he had a rare lazy aura.
White clothes are better than snow, both elegant and elegant, and like the bright moon, exuding a soft and clean light.
There is a kind of aura of a king who dominates the world from his bones.
The handsome features were sharp and angular, the corners of his lips were staring at Ye Xingtong with a half-smile, and the deep eyes were like vortexes that wanted to swallow people up.
A slight sense of oppression came over, suffocating Ye Xingtong for a moment.
Sitting next to Jun Yifan was Wu Jianyuan. When Ye Xingtong looked at him, a trace of guilt flashed away in his eyes.
Jun Yifan seemed to notice the interaction between the two of them. The light of stars flashed slightly in his calm eyes. He looked at Ye Xingtong and said, "Come here, please sit down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards brought a grand master's chair and placed it on the side of the lobby.
Ye Xingtong was not polite to him either. Who wants to stand when he can sit down
Jun Yifan watched Ye Xingtong sit down, turned to Wu Jianyuan, and said calmly: "Jianyuan, read out the charges against Magistrate Chen! Let him be convinced today! Wait for death in peace!"
County Magistrate Chen's legs went weak and he almost fell down.
My heart was full of unwillingness and resentment.
The arrogance of being aloof can no longer be maintained.
Wu Jianyuan nodded, picked up the copywriting on the table in front of him and stood up.
The man's sonorous and powerful voice sounded in the lobby, and the bustle outside could no longer be heard.
"The first charge of County Magistrate Chen is that Chen colluded with bandits and robbed people of their property. To prove her integrity, she killed innocent people indiscriminately. She found a few helpless beggars to pretend to be bandits and beat them to death with sticks. He deceived the people, colluded with bad people, and wronged good people. He was an unforgivable crime. According to the 180th Law of the Great Ceremony, he should be stripped of his official position, taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and executed in the future... "
"Chen's second crime is that he secretly colluded with officials of the Qingyu Kingdom, betrayed the information of the Li Kingdom and the Qingyu Kingdom, betrayed the great gift, and is an unforgivable crime..."
"Chen's third crime is that he embezzled one hundred thousand taels of gold distributed by the imperial court for disaster relief. He ignored the common people for his own personal gain, causing hundreds of people to tragically starve to death near Poyang County. He is truly a treacherous and evil person... "
"Chen's fourth charge is that he secretly captured 111 young women who were lonely in other places, causing serious impact on other people's families. The whereabouts of those women are unknown, their lives are not guaranteed, and people's lives are in panic. According to the ninth article of the ceremony, According to the eight laws, capital punishment should be imposed to serve as a warning..."
"Chen's fifth crime is worshiping evil spirits as his teachers and practicing evil arts..."
"Chen's sixth crime is that he privately killed Master Song Rong and his family and abused lynching..."
…
"Chen's tenth charge is that he innocently injured Ms. Ye and was imprisoned. He did not hesitate to sacrifice the innocence of others for his own so-called reputation. His crime is extremely heinous and unforgivable. He should be executed immediately... immediately!"
As soon as Wu Jianyuan finished speaking, there was silence everywhere. Everyone knew some of the deeds about Magistrate Chen through hearsay.
In the last female ghost incident, many people had some or minor doubts about this so-called honest official, which laid deep roots of trouble.
So after his evil deeds were told this time, everyone was filled with indignation. The public said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right.
Some couldn't believe it, a little sneered, some cursed angrily, some watched silently, and some shouted loudly...
A man said angrily: "In the past, those bandits often disturbed the people and attacked our property. Magistrate Chen personally led his people to arrest them. He was injured when he came back. After we heard about it, we all praised him for his bravery and decisiveness. He is a good official who can be trusted. They all came forward to greet him and expressed their gratitude. We did not expect that he was colluding with the bandits to harm us. We really misjudged him... "
Everyone else should also agree: "County Magistrate Chen deceived our feelings. It would be easier for him to kill him. One bandit is not enough for him to collude with. He also colluded with the barbarian from Qingyu Kingdom. He clearly wanted to treason and flee. Keeping such shameless and despicable people is a waste of land.”
"And when natural disasters happened here, no wonder we didn't get enough food and subsidies. It turned out that this guy was corrupted. He even said with great righteousness that the materials and subsidies distributed by the court were not enough, and said with great kindness that he was The frying pan sold iron to help everyone tide over the difficulties. He took out all the food in the house for relief, and also took out all the valuable items in the house and sold them into food. At that time, we were really touched by him, and he did this for us. You are a good official, what can you ask for! It’s all a trap! They’re all lies to us! On the surface, they treat us well, but in fact they are worse than animals!”
"He is an official of the imperial court! He should be the one who makes the decision for us, but he does such an outrageous thing. It is not allowed by heaven!"
"What grudge do those young women have against him? His life and death are unknown, and he still doesn't know where he is. One hundred and eleven young women are missing. Does he have any conscience at all in doing this?"
"The conscience must have been eaten by a dog. He is worse than a dog. Any one crime is enough to kill him a hundred times!"
"Miss Ye is just a woman from out of town. She has not offended him at all, but he wants to treat her as a suspect and put her in jail. If Miss Ye hadn't been quick-witted, she would have been killed by him long ago." Someone said for Ye Xingtong Fight against injustice.
"Don't say Miss Ye is a lonely girl. Didn't even Master Song Rong next to him meet a tragic end without even saving his body? The whole family was burned to death in a fire. Oh, what a miserable life it is. !”
"Song Rong deserves it. Who did him do so many bad things for County Magistrate Chen? This is retribution! Retribution!" the man said angrily.
Someone defended Song Rong: "Didn't Song Rong realize his mistake in the end? If he hadn't revealed the secret, where would these scandals have come from! We should thank him for letting us know the dog face of County Magistrate Chen!"
…
County Magistrate Chen collapsed on the ground after Wu Jianyuan finished reading. Hearing the hustle and bustle outside, his head seemed to be filled with water and he couldn't move at all.
There was only one thought in his mind.
He was really ruined this time, ruined!
As people outside say, any crime is enough for him to die a hundred times!
