Chapter 181
Chu Jinghong was picked up by Yao Shen, and her whole body was weak. Her weight could only be concentrated on the rope on her body, and Yao Shen was allowed to carry her.
Now Chu Jinghong, who is in a mess, with her gaunt face and unkempt face, is quite like a monster. She doesn't have the demeanor that a princess of a country should have.
But even though she was almost unconscious, she still murmured: "let go Let me go Let me go I'm not I'm not Chu Jinghong I'm not princess Jinghong, I'm not... "
Yao Shen sneered and said, "don't worry. When you get to the hall, you have a chance to talk about it."
Yao Shen turned his head and looked at the popular woman lying on the ground. Jin Wushuang said in a cold voice, "come on, put these two in jail, waiting for disposal."
-
the so-called public trial hall is just a seven foot high wooden platform temporarily built at the entrance of Caishikou, Xuanwu Street.
The chief judge and the prisoners have not yet arrived, and the wooden platform has been blocked by the waterside pavilion surrounded by the people of the whole city.
The common people are excited. They are all angry. They wish they could tear the hands of XiaGu.
Jiang taoqing and Lei Dong were also in the crowd.
Jiang taoqing asked, "are you ready?" He ordered Lei Dong to arrange men and horses to rob prisoners.
Lei Dong nodded: "don't worry, young master Jiang. These wine bags and rice bags of the imperial guards are not rivals at all. They will certainly save Princess Jinghong and young master Jin."
Jiang taoqing nodded slightly. He was worried, but what he was worried about was not whether the dark guards of yuelou would miss. What he was worried about was that if they did, Chu Jinghong would never explain clearly.
With so many people watching, she was accused of being a demon. If someone rushed out on the way to take her away, it would not be the same as the crime.
But let it go, Jiang taoqing can't do it either. He can only take the lesser of the two evils between bearing the stigma and losing his life.
Dang!
A huge Gong was struck, and the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.
When they followed the reputation, they saw Yao Shen stand up from the throne and walk to the middle of the wooden platform. He said in a loud voice: "recently, poisonous insects broke out in the capital, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people. Your majesty is very worried. The special Imperial Army and Dali Temple cooperated in handling this case. After endless investigation day and night, he finally got something. Up to now, he has caught the suspect and set up a public trial hall here, with ten thousand people to sue the heaven Next. Come on, bring up the criminals! "
When they looked at the wooden platform, they saw a young girl in a white dress with her hands tied behind her. She was pushed onto the wooden platform by the royal guards.
Almost as soon as she reached the middle of the wooden platform, the girl fell to the ground and seemed to have fainted.
The onlookers could not help whispering.
"Oh, my God, it's really Princess Jinghong. I've seen her before. It's just such a gaudy picture."
"The North Chu is too mean, unexpectedly use so insidious trick."
"Isn't his royal highness King Zhan reconciled with northern Chu? Why did the northern Chu place his royal highness King Zhan against injustice? "
"If you want me to see, the witch is probably using the Lord. The Lord must have been hoodwinked!"
"No matter what, I will kill her. She has killed so many people, so we must not forgive her lightly!"
"Yes, yes, kill her, kill her!"
....
Yao Shen nodded slightly, as if very satisfied with the response.
He looked down at Chu Jinghong, who seemed to have fallen asleep, and said in a cold voice, "come on, wake her up!"
A bodyguard picked up a bucket of cold water, which had been prepared for a long time, and splashed it down on Chu Jinghong's head.
Chu Jinghong, who fell into a coma, suddenly hit a spirit and woke up.
Seeing this, Jiang taoqing felt tight in his heart. Subconsciously, he stepped forward two steps, but his wrist was pulled tightly.
Jiang taoqing pulls his wrist and looks at the person who stops him. He finds that it's Pei Yuan, Minister of Dali temple.
Pei Yuan frowned and shook his head: "don't be impulsive."
Pei Yuansong opens taoqing's hand and turns his head to look at the wooden platform. At this moment, Chu Jinghong, who is in a mess, can't coincide with his impression of Princess Jinghong.
Pei Yuan closed his eyes and recalled his few encounters with Chu Jinghong. After a moment, he began to placate: "Princess Jinghong It's not going to be the one who won't let go. Mr. Jiang, wait and see. "
Jiang taoqing is still anxious in her heart. Chu Jinghong is not the one who will be caught with no hands. That's right. No one is willing to be caught with no hands, but she has to have the ability and opportunity to resist.
How can she extricate herself from her predicament?
Jiang taoqing clenched his teeth and tried to resist the impulse.
On the wooden platform, a basin of cold water went down. Chu Jinghong was already half asleep and half awake. She could not help curling up with cold, but the imperial guards picked her up and tied her to a column.
Yao Shen, with a whip in his hand, walked to Chu Jinghong with a sneer.
Holding the handle of the whip, he gently raised Chu Jinghong's chin and asked, "are you awake? Wake up and talk about it! What kind of monster are you? Why do you want to harm the people of our big business? "The onlookers suddenly became silent and listened to the interrogation in the hall.
Chu did not respond.
Yao Shen frowned and slapped a whip. The whip hit the ground beside Chu Jinghong's feet. The barb on the whip raised the wooden table surface with burrs.
It's not hard to imagine that if this whip is hit on a person, the skin will split and the bone will be damaged!
"If I ask you something, I will tell you the truth!" Yao Shen yelled.
Xu is Yao Shen's voice is too loud, or maybe Chu Jinghong was frightened by the power of the whip, she finally began to reply powerlessly.
"I I'm not I'm not princess Jinghong... "
What?!
Under the wooden platform, there was a cry of surprise. Even Jiang taoqing was shocked. Jiang taoqing asked eagerly, "Mr. Pei, did Yao Shen use medicine for Princess Jinghong? Is there any magic drug in Dali temple that people can let go of? She How did she start to talk nonsense? "
Pei Yuan couldn't help frowning and said: "Dali temple is a serious place. How can it use the means to interrogate prisoners?"
Jiang taoqing was unconvinced and said, "Dali temple is a serious place, but Yao Shen is not a serious person."
Pei Yuan lips pursed into a straight line, did not argue with Jiang taoqing, but continue to pay attention to the stage.
....
On the stage, Yao Shen heard his satisfactory answer and began to roll up the whip slowly. As he rolled up, he continued to ask: "you said you are not princess Jinghong, so what kind of monster are you? Where is Princess Jinghong? Why do you want to harm the people of our big business? Are you being told to do this? "
Yao Shen is leading to Chu Jinghong's thoughts.
Chu Jinghong said vaguely, "I'm not princess Jinghong, I'm not I I didn't harm anyone. "
"Huh? I don't think you can see the coffin without tears. Someone is going to lift the body up! "
At Yao Shen's command, the guards of the imperial guards immediately carried the bodies of peach blossom and those that died in the city and were not destroyed to the wooden platform.
seeing the imperial guards carrying the bodies, Pei Yuan's eyes flashed.
The royals were wearing thick gloves on both hands, and it was clear that they knew the bodies could not be touched. If they know, it means Yao Shen knows. Does what Yao Shen knows mean his majesty also knows?
Pei Yuan's heart began to cool. Is it true that emperor Zhaowu planned this matter?
After seeing the corpse, the crowd became more excited. The corpses were all their relatives.
For a moment, the voice of shouting, fighting and killing became so rampant that Chu Jinghong could not be defeated.
Yao Shen, taking the opportunity of the noisy voice at the moment, approached Chu Jinghong and said in a low voice: "if you don't admit it for a moment, one person will die. If you don't admit it for a stick of incense, five people will die. To tell you the truth, six bodyguards have already died in Prince Zhan's mansion. Princess Jinghong is a hero who knows the current affairs."
Chu Jinghong mumbled and repeated: "I'm not I'm not princess Jinghong, I'm not princess Jinghong! "
Yao Shen began to be impatient and said angrily, "don't beat around the bush with me. I don't care whether you are a human or a demon. Even if you don't care about the life and death of the common people, the life and death of Jin Wushuang and the popularity, don't you care? To tell you the truth, if they don't get the confession for half an hour, neither of them will live. "
Chu Jinghong's eyelids trembled. This subtle action made Yao Shen understand that she was not really confused, she was pretending to be confused.
Yao Shen sneered scornfully and said, "come on, Princess Jinghong, tell me if you did it or not."
At the same time, the guards of the imperial guards sounded the Gong heavily to signal the crowd to be quiet.
Yao Shen repeated: "say it! Did you do it? "
Chu Jinghong took a deep breath and yelled: "yes, it's me, I did it. I did all the previous murders and blood drinking cases, and now all the things that poison and harm people. It's me!"
Ah!
Everyone took a breath, surprised, and even forgot to breathe.
Jiang taoqing couldn't help it any more. He immediately raised his hand to signal to the dark guard of Zhan Wangfu to rob the prisoner, but this time he didn't want Pei Yuan to hold him.
"Mr. Pei, what are you stopping me from doing?"
Pei Yuan did not speak, but motioned Jiang taoqing to look out of the crowd.
Jiang taoqing followed Pei Yuan's line of sight to see the past, suddenly stunned, has been raised in the throat of the heart, began to gradually let go.
What do they see?
No one paid attention to what they saw. At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the wooden platform.
Yao Shen finally heard the testimony he wanted from Chu Jinghong, but it was not enough. If he could bring the accusation to the king of war, then he really made a great contribution!
"Go on! Why did you do it? Who told you to do it? " Yao Shen asked angrily.
Chu Jinghong slowly raised his eyelids and looked at Yao Shen.Through her messy hair, through her dirty makeup, Yao Shen suddenly bumps into a pair of eyes as deep as an ancient well.
This kind of eyes that seemed to gaze at the dead made Yao Shen panic for a moment.
However, before he knew where the confusion came from, he heard Chu Jinghong say: "yes, someone really told me to do it. The one who told me was the elder of Gu City, Ying Changyan!"
What?!
There was another cry of alarm in the crowd.
And the smile on Yao Shen's face was instantly solidified. After a while, Yao Shen came back to himself and said angrily, "what are you talking about?"
As soon as Yao Shen's voice fell, he raised his whip to Chu Jinghong.
Chu Jinghong closed his eyes and was ready to take the whip. He yelled: "it's the elder who instructed me. It's him who instructed me!"
Pop!
The whip made a crisp sound, which was actually pulled out, but Chu Jinghong didn't feel the slightest pain.
Tick Tick What liquid dripping on the wooden floor, issued a crisp harsh click.
Chu Jinghong opened her eyes slowly, and saw a big hand blocking in front of her. That hand was firmly holding the iron whip on Yao Shen's hand at the moment. The blood flowed to the whip along the palm of the hand, and then dropped to the ground along the whip.
Whose hand is this?
Chu Jinghong felt her heart beat faster, but she didn't dare to look up at the person in front of her.
The so-called fear of hometown is no more than that.
"Is Yao Tongling going to hold a public trial or kill people?" It's yulongyuan's voice!
"Ah! God, it's big brother, it's big brother Jiang taoqing is about to jump up in excitement.
Lei Dong was also relieved. The LORD came back, and he finally came back!
Lei Dong took a look around and said in a loud voice: "see your highness king of war, your highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Onlookers came back to their senses. They called for a thousand years old and bowed their knees to pay homage!
In the sound of people's worship, Chu Jinghong finally summoned up the courage to look up at the people in front of him, but unexpectedly bumped into a pair of eyes full of guilt.
He's looking at her.
I don't know why, Chu Jinghong, who had a plan in his heart, felt aggrieved when he saw Yu Longyuan.
Where did he go? I haven't been here for such a long time. Don't you mean to protect her?
Yu Longyuan saw Chu Jinghong's eyes were red, and his heart seemed to be pinched by something. It was painful.
He subconsciously wants to raise his hand to touch Chu Jinghong's face, but he is interrupted by Chu Jinghong's words.
Chu Jinghong cried out: "I have said all that should be said. His Royal Highness the king of war will kill him or scrape him!"
Yu Longyuan clenched the palm of his hand and put his hand behind him.
Yulongyuan turned his head and looked at the frightened Yao Shen. He said in a cold voice: "Mr. Yao, continue the trial. Chu Jinghong, the princess of northern Chu, has an engagement with the king. Now that the king's princess has been lost, you must interrogate the king clearly. Don't commit the crime of negligence!"
Yao Shen subconsciously stepped back, but somehow, his feet slipped, and he fell off the wooden platform.
A piece of ice on the good wooden platform?
"Commander!"
"My Lord!"
The guards of the imperial guards are in a hurry to help Yao Shen up. Fortunately, the wooden platform is only seven feet high, so Yao Shen will not be broken, but he is in a mess.
Seeing this, Yu Longyuan said in a cold voice, "Yao Tongling has interrogated the prisoners for seven days and seven nights. I think he is tired. Today I might as well watch the trial."
"Xiaguan..." Yao Shen just wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Yu Longyuan, who didn't plan to give him a chance to speak.
