Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 77 Public Trial 5
Liu Zhaoran looked at Lu Xu in astonishment, and she didn't know how terrible Lu Xu's scheming was until now.

The thirty slaps that were executed immediately made her lose the chance to defend herself, and then forced her to slap on the confession that she deliberately pushed Liang Xi off the bridge.

"Why are you wronged?"

Lu Xu's voice rang in his ears: "Isn't it you who pushed me, didn't you the one who framed me?"

Liu Zhaoran turned her head stiffly, and saw the intoxicating smile and the evil eyes under her eyes, which was also the same in the eyes of Lu Xu of the Xuan Yuan that day.

Although Liu Zhaoran didn't admit it personally, Liang Xi already felt very satisfied, and looked at Lu Xu's shining back gratefully. Without her help, he would have no family even if he died, so how could he have the chance to seek justice.

"I want to sue."

"I also want."

"..."

Seeing Liu Zhaoran pleaded guilty, those who had been hurt by Liu Zhaoran stepped forward to complain.

Seeing the turmoil of the people, Lu Xu immediately took Liang Xi back to the carriage to avoid being bumped by these people, and watched the scene on the podium with cold eyes.

Gao Liao was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to retaliate against Liu Zhaoran, so he immediately asked the government servants to take her aside to protect her, and ordered the people who came forward to file a complaint to line up to express their grievances one by one.

Liu Zhaoran's crimes, large and small, are too numerous to list.

But most of them have no evidence, and the rest of the charges add up to ten years in prison at most.

Liang Xi was very happy, explained the situation to Lu Xu, and happily went back to find her father, but Lu Xu was not so optimistic.

With Liu Ji's relationship in the court, if you do a little bit more, Liu Zhaoran will be released from prison in at most three to five years, and you don't even have to go to prison if you change the method. This is not the result that Lu Xu wanted, but there is no better way. .

"Are you a little disappointed?"

Fanxing raised the curtain of the car and walked in, Suzaku realized the interest and walked out.

Lu Xun replied, and Fan Xing sat down and said, "You have done your best, now go to your own business."

Looking at the bewildered expression on Lu Xu's face, Fan Xing sighed helplessly, "Have you forgotten what we were going to do when we went out on Qixi Festival?"

"not in the mood."

Lu Xu was entangled in the result in front of him.

Fanxing smiled gracefully: "It doesn't matter how you feel when you soak in the hot springs, let's go."

The last two words were addressed to the coachman, and the carriage slowly left the martial arts arena, and a crisp female voice was heard before going far:

"His Royal Highness, my servant Chunlan wants to report."

Suddenly hearing the word "Chunlan", Lu Xu immediately asked Madam Che to stop.

Liang Xi mentioned this name, she is Liu Zhaoran's personal maid, who has been helping Liu Zhaoran to do evil.

At the beginning, she secretly sent someone to look for Chunlan, and got the news that this person had disappeared. She originally thought that she had been murdered, but now she suddenly jumped out to report to Mo Jinli, and she didn't know who to report.

Lu Xu opened the curtain and looked out, and saw a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old in sackcloth and filial piety.

Under everyone's gaze, Chunlan held up a scroll of paper with both hands, and ran towards the position of Prince Luanjia.

The guards thought they had obtained tacit approval and did not stop them.

Chunlan pounced on her knees and said, "My servant Chunlan is Miss Liu San's personal maid."

Baoguang raised the outer curtain, leaving a beaded curtain to block the detection of outsiders, and people could only vaguely see a noble figure.

"Chunlan, who do you want to report?"

Mo Jinli changed from his usual laziness, and his voice was full of approachability.

Chunlan knelt in front of Crown Prince Luan, and said with a straight face, "Return to His Royal Highness, this slave girl wants to report the original culprit who caused the flood at the South City Gate."

Regarding the sudden flood in Nancheng, there is a reason why Mo Jinli has not released the investigation results to the public. When a group of them rushed to the reservoir, they found that the water level of the reservoir had not dropped, but the guards guarding the reservoir suddenly disappeared.

It is said that they disappeared suddenly because the tea and wine on the table in the guard's hut were hot, and there were no traces of fighting at the scene.

But no one was found, there was no trace of their departure on the ground, and no corpse was found in the reservoir, as if everyone disappeared out of thin air at the same time, except for the reservoir where there were no people, everything was as usual.

I asked the nearby villagers, and they also said that there have been no strange faces recently, but I didn't expect someone to take the initiative to deliver it to their door today.

Shouldn't it be on Lu Xu again?

Mo Jinli was still hesitating whether to interrogate him on the spot, it would be difficult if Lu Xu was involved.

Although Lu Xu did not find Chunlan here, he still found a small amount of her personal information: Chunlan was born in a family, and the whole family lived in the Liu family.

Such a background meant that she could not judge the master, but she heard Chunlan say loudly: "This disaster all started because Liu Zhaoran was jealous of Miss Lu Xu."

As soon as Chunlan's words came out, everyone present was startled, it must have been written by Liu Zhaoran again.

Lu Xu also looked puzzled, with Liu Zhaoran's mind, it was absolutely impossible to hide from Mo Jinli's eyes, unless Mo Jinli couldn't see the truth.

Liu Zhaoran was put aside, when she suddenly heard Chunlan's voice, at first she thought she was here to save her, planning to put the blame on Lu Xu's head, but what she said next made her completely lose hope of survival.

Chunlan continued to speak loudly: "When the crown prince went to investigate the reservoir, did he find that the water in the reservoir was not low, but he couldn't find the guards guarding the reservoir."

Mo Jinli's reticence was acquiescence, and Chunlan continued: "Actually, the water in the reservoir is running low, and the guards are always there. It's just that you didn't go to the reservoir at that time, Your Highness."

"You mean the reservoir we saw that night was an illusion?"

As soon as Chunlan mentioned it, Mo Jinli immediately thought of the reason. What they saw at the time was just fantasy.

There are indeed many masters of illusion in Nanli Country. Even gods will be trapped in it if they practice this technique to the extreme. Naturally, they can't tell whether the reservoir in front of them is real or not.

But the illusion has a big disadvantage, that is, it is impossible to put characters in it, so they cannot see the guards guarding the reservoir, and the guards of the reservoir found that the gate of the reservoir was opened for no reason, and a terrible flood was caused. Responsibility They quietly filled the reservoir with water.

only……

Chunlan paused and said, "When the water in the reservoir is filled again, it will be their death day."

Mo Jinli snorted coldly and said, "It's easy to kill those who can set up the phantom array to deceive the hall, and when the people from the hall go to the reservoir to check afterward, the result will be exactly the same as what the hall saw."

"Nanli has not been out of the country for a long time. A person with such superb illusion skills, it seems that this hall has to pay him a visit in person."

Mo Jinli said loudly: "Come here, first put Liu Zhaoran in prison and take him to Dali Temple for custody. After the evidence is found to find out the truth, he will definitely be dealt with according to the laws of Nanli Kingdom."

When Lu Xu heard the result, he let out a long sigh of relief, but when he was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice saying, "His Royal Highness, wait a minute. The Empress Dowager ordered the servants to come over and bring a few words to His Highness."

　Yesterday was Valentine's Day in the West, and today is Valentine's Day in China. Lingyan wishes everyone a happy Valentine's Day!
