Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Su Ming was furious and said: "It's a bunch of nonsense. Although I am in charge of important affairs for the emperor, I will never bend the law for personal gain! King Li, don't listen to slander and slander this official!"

"It wasn't someone else who said it, it was your daughter who said it. Besides, Mrs. Su, do you think it's too coincidental that all this happened? Why did Aunt Zhang's son kill someone suddenly? Why did Su Changxiao know about it in time? Something?" Chu Xuanchen said.

Su Ming was startled, and he gave Su Chang a suspicious look with a smile. Could it be that she planned this matter?

However, he still pretended not to know, "Li Wang, I don't understand what you mean. I'm busy with affairs, how can I know these trivial matters?"

"It doesn't matter if Master Su doesn't understand, the facts will let you understand." Speaking of this, Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Aunt Zhang said before that her son Liu Cheng got drunk when he was drinking at his friend Wei Lin's house. He wanted to insult Wei Lin's wife, Mrs. Li. As a result, Mrs. Li refused, and Liu Cheng strangled her to death. Before coming to the Ministry of Punishment, this king has sent people to investigate this matter, and I believe there will be a result soon. However, before the results come out, we need to try the parties first."

After finishing speaking, Chu Xuanchen ordered: "Come here, go to the prison quickly and bring Liu Cheng and Wei Lin here. This king will personally interrogate them."

"Ah..." Su Changxiao suddenly exclaimed when she heard this, her body trembled with guilt.

When Mo Li went to pick up the man, Su Ming quickly called a doctor and asked the doctor to bandage Su Chang Xiao's eyes a little.

Soon, Moli took people to the prison to bring Liu Cheng and Wei Lin to court.

When Geng Tian saw this, his face was darkened with anger.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice was his domain, yet Chu Xuanchen, as if in an uninhabited land, surpassed him to mention prisoners in the prison.

But he couldn't refute, so he just sat there with a sullen face.

As soon as Liu Cheng and Wei Lin brought it up to the court, Chu Xuanchen questioned, "Liu Cheng, tell me, did Li's death have anything to do with you? Did you strangle her to death because you failed to insult her?"

Liu Cheng was beaten all over his body. When he saw Chu Xuanchen, he suddenly had hope in his eyes. He hurriedly said: "My lord, please learn from me. The younger one didn't, the younger one didn't kill Li Shi at all, the younger one was killed. Innocent!"

"Bold Liu Cheng, you have already recruited, how dare you change your confession in court!" At this moment, Geng Tian stood up, pointed at Liu Cheng and said angrily.

"Master Geng, who said that you can't change your confession after being recruited? Maybe he was beaten into a trick?" After Chu Xuanchen finished speaking, he looked at Liu Cheng again, "Liu Cheng, don't be afraid. But tell me, this king will make the decision for you."

When Liu Cheng saw Chu Xuanchen's presence, it was as if he saw a backer.

He nodded hurriedly, and said angrily, "My lord, I really didn't kill someone. Wei Lin invited me to drink at his house that night, but after a few drinks, I passed out. When I woke up, I found I was sleeping on Wei Lin's bed in disheveled clothes, and his wife Li Shi was lying next to him. At that time, I was so frightened that I wanted to wake up Li Shi to ask about the situation, but unexpectedly, I found that Li Shi was already dead. At this time, Wei Lin Immediately, he rushed in and said that I killed Mrs. Li and brought me to the Ministry of Punishment."

"You really didn't kill anyone?" Chu Xuanchen asked.

Liu Cheng nodded firmly, "Yes, my lord, I really didn't kill Mrs. Li. As soon as I was put in prison, the jailer tortured me and asked me to confess to the murder. I didn't kill anyone, of course I wouldn't. Who knows They actually tortured me, I really couldn't bear the pain, so I recruited them!"
