Soon, the day of the opening ceremony arrived.

After everyone had been brought to the hall, Su Zixuan looked at the faces of the crown prince, the justice court officials, and Fu Feihan who were all sitting upright. The Su Clan and Wu Guangcai were all kneeling down below.

It was really lively.

After a while, the third round of interrogations began.

As the people at the top read out the evidence, Su Zixuan listened. Every word she said was actually accusing her Su Family of heinous crimes. She laughed coldly. Even Wu Guangcai selling his salt became forced by the Su Family.

"Su Qian Shan, do you admit your guilt?" Ma Ziming's voice came from above, the deterrence that belonged to the justice court came from all directions and surrounded the criminals below.

However, Su Zixuan and the others weren't afraid at all. As the saying goes, if you don't do something shameful, and if you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, why should you be afraid?

On the other hand, Wu Guangcai and those officials who committed crimes were so scared that they started sweating cold sweat.

"This subject does not recognize, this subject does not acknowledge, this subject does not acknowledge." Su Qian Shan's face was calm as he said those words with determination. His last sentence almost broke through the roof, causing people to be moved.

He didn't change his words in the beginning, but now, he didn't want to admit it. Before, he thought that he was just making excuses, but now, it was already a foregone conclusion, and he wasn't willing to admit his wrongs.

Could it be that there really was some sort of secret behind this?

"Sir, may I ask, where did this paper proof come from?" Su Zixuan didn't tremble in the slightest when he heard these crimes.

Ma Ziming was slightly displeased. Before she could say anything, he patiently replied, "Naturally, it's the assault on Wu Guangcai."

"Then may I ask, Lord, how did his single statement become the proof of the court?" There wasn't a hint of resentment or unwillingness in Su Zixuan's words. It was as if she was simply curious.

"How is this one-sided? It's true that he sold salt and bribed officials. How is that wrong?" Looking at Su Zixuan's expression, Ma Zi Ming couldn't help but feel that it was unreasonable. Why was there someone who would care about such insignificant things at such a crucial moment?

"Selling salt for sale is true, so is it true for bribing officials, but does this have to be the doing of my Su Family?" Su Zixuan was still unhurried and only said in a calm and steady voice.

"At the end of April, my daughter wanted to go to the south of the capital, so she changed roads midway to the east of the river. The private salt case was investigated together with the Chief Patrol Officer." Su Zixuan looked into Ma Ziming's eyes, "If my Su family really did such a thing, why would this humble girl investigate this matter together with the Chief Patrol Officer? How would the matter of the private salt be exposed?"

"Perhaps this is your scheme. Knowing that the matter has been exposed, you intentionally pulled yourself out, thinking that you can escape this calamity." At the side, there was an unknown official taking notes. Upon hearing Su Zixuan's words, he couldn't help but mock her.

Ma Zi Ming looked at the official with a displeased expression, but he didn't refute him. In his opinion, Su Zixuan's actions in the East River area were out of fear of exposing the truth and deliberately confusing the public.

Su Zixuan had a disdainful expression on her face as she looked at the crowd in the hall. "If I had known earlier, I would have killed the Chief Patrol Officer while he was in the east, without anyone noticing."

The moment he said this, the entire hall went into an uproar! For a moment, everyone felt that this woman had a vicious heart. Later on, they also felt that what she said wasn't false. The so-called cutting the grass at its roots should be like this.

The one who had spoken earlier only looked at the official sarcastically. He did not feel that his words were frightening at all.

Fu Feihan revealed a wry smile. After listening to Su Zixuan's words, he didn't think that she was joking at all. In his heart, Su Zixuan's mental capabilities were extraordinary, and he didn't find it unusual at all for her to have done such a thing.

Now, it was fortunate that they did not do such a thing. However, if they did not do it, they would still be framed. Fu Feihan could not bear to do it, but even if he hated him, he could do nothing.

Su Zixuan glanced at Fu Feihan. There was no fear in her eyes, and she wasn't afraid that her words would offend Fu Feihan. In any case, that was what she was thinking in her heart. She didn't want to be a thief, but right now, nothing was as important as her own life.

"Do you know that the conspiracy against a senior official of the imperial government is also a heinous crime?" Seeing how Su Zixuan was getting more and more confused, Ma Zi Ming couldn't help but ask.

Su Zixuan looked at him. "If I've really committed a heinous crime, why would I be afraid of this?"

For a moment there was silence, and then she was irrefutable, and at the same time vicious and terrible, and so it seemed to him that the truth was as it was.

"Don't even try to argue! Now that the evidence is here, no matter how eloquent you are, it will be useless. " The crown prince, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, waking everyone in the hall from their shock.

Su Zixuan turned around and looked at the crown prince. She was clearly kneeling on the ground, but she had an aura comparable to the crown prince's.

In her eyes, she saw the day of Su Clan's execution in her previous life, when she was crying her heart out for mercy, and even this crown prince had the same expression as now, as if nothing in the world entered his eyes, as if it was only right that he should kill the person he forced to do so.

She pulled her thoughts away and straightened her back. "Where's the evidence?"
