The boy looked innocent and shook his head and said:

"The yamen runner didn't say anything, just said that they would wait for everyone to enter the lobby and start the trial."

Zhou Heng stood up and looked at Shuntian Mansion. The guards everywhere were very strict, but he did not see anyone walking around. I don’t know if the morning court would mention this matter today. However, he was not in a hurry, even though Chen Wenchi still had his last move.

Seeing that Zhou Heng was as stable as Mount Tai, Zhu Yunmo was less impatient, so he sat down and ate some refreshments, and threw them to the boy who spoke with his lips for some food and drink.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a group of carriages and horses quickly approached not far away. A sedan was in front. The boy quickly swallowed the refreshment and pointed at the carriage and horse and said:

"Criminal, someone is here!"

This time, Zhou Heng also stood up with Zhu Yunmo, walked to the window and saw a man coming down from the sedan chair. He only saw that he did not see his face in the third-rank official uniform. Zhou Heng carefully identified it, but could not confirm it from his figure.

On the carriage behind, there were several people coming down Peng Yushan.

At this moment, Zhu Yunmo exclaimed.

"Huh? Why did Zhou Yian follow the team?"

When Zhou Heng heard this, he immediately grabbed Zhu Yunmo's telescope and looked over. Sure enough, one of the people who were following the third-rank official in the government was Zhou Yi'an.

But he walked at the end, his head hanging down for a while and didn't notice it.

Seeing this, Zhou Heng's heart was immediately relieved.

Seeing that Zhou Heng was not at all surprised, Zhu Yunmo became even more curious, grabbed Zhou Heng's hand and asked:

"Is this what you hide from me? What the hell is going on? You said?"

Zhou Heng's face felt much more relaxed, and he shook his head slightly:

"It's boring to say so much. Wouldn't you be even more surprised to find it yourself? Besides, the emperor did not make a decision before today. It seems that something happened this morning court that we didn't know."

Zhu Yunmo snorted and shook Zhou Heng's arm away.

He knew that Zhou Heng didn't want to say that no one could do anything about it, but since Zhou Yi'an appeared, it at least shows that he was developing towards a favorable point at this time.

As everyone entered Shuntian Mansion, the onlookers were also put in. However, the courtyard was limited, so the onlookers outside were put into No. 10. As for the remaining people, they gathered in groups of three or three and did not leave.

If you can watch this city in this capital, you can hear first-hand messages even if you are closer.

There is no TV, no mobile phone, and no WeChat, TikTok or official account. Such strange stories are the most interesting topics of conversation after dinner, so naturally no one wants to miss it.

Not only were there fewer people on the streets below, but there were more people. There were many more guests in the teahouse. The noise outside was endless. Zhu Yunmo stood up and closed the door tightly, which made the sound much smaller.

He walked to the boy and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't you know if you'll just say who says what, don't you talk nonsense?"

The boy was a little nervous. It was probably because Pang Xiao specially trained for investigation, so his ability seemed to be good.

He held up his telescope, stared at the lobby carefully, and squatted down slightly. At this angle, he could see the situation in the lobby.

Zhou Heng also raised his telescope and felt inexplicably at ease when he saw the person sitting under the plaque hanging high in the mirror.

The boy began to explain:

"The prefect begins to ask about the case, bringing Han brothers and sisters, Zhu Xiaochang and Wen to the court for a question."

Zhu Yunmo also squeezed over at this time. His position was not good. He wandered around for a long time and then saw the situation in the lobby. When he saw the person sitting in the hall, Zhu Yunmo exclaimed out.

"Ah! Why is it Mr. Zhang Fuling? Why is he here? Is this case now being tried by Dali Temple? No, if Dali Temple is tried, it will not be interrogated here, could it be?"

Needless to say, he must have known it a long time ago when he saw Zhou Heng's calm look.

"So you knew it a long time ago. No wonder you were not surprised when you saw Zhou Yi'an just now. It seems that this is part of the plan?"

Zhou Heng smiled, "This is considered an unexpected surprise. I originally thought that Chen Wenchi would have to be tried before the person was replaced. I didn't expect that the matter would be settled in the morning court. It seems that the emperor's suspicion is even worse."

Zhu Yunmo knew that there must be details here that he didn't know, but since Zhou Heng didn't say it, the people here could not ask in detail, so Zhu Yunmo raised his telescope.

"Okay, let's talk about it when I go back. I'll tell you that I can't coax me without food. This is a big deal."

Zhou Heng ignored it anymore. The boy seemed to be unable to hear the conversation between Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo. When he saw someone talking, he quickly said:

"The witnesses were brought here, and the prefect said: The plaintiff's lawsuit has been read, and the records of the last trial are also there. The evidence in this case is conclusive, the evidence is complete, and there is nothing to be investigated in detail. What should the defendant Zhu Xiaochang defend himself?"

Zhou Heng stared at Zhu Xiaochang with his back to the door. This angle was indeed not easy to distinguish. He seemed to turn his head and glance at Wen, took a step forward and bowed to Zhang Fuling, then stood up and said.

"Sir, Dongmei is indeed a maid from Weizhutang, my Ningwang Mansion. She has been transferred to take care of my diet and daily life for more than a year. The relationship between men and women is indeed true, but I don't know that she is pregnant.

Furthermore, I am just an eleven or twelve-year-old boy and do not understand men and women. When plum blossoms were serving me in mid-autumn and winter last year, I did lustful actions and touched my lower body. Until my body changed, I couldn't help but have sex with her.

I have hard time studying in Imperial College on weekdays, and I have hardly ever contacted women. If I really love women's beauty, I will be addicted to it and I will never find her alone."

Dongmei couldn't help but hold her hands on the edge of the wheelchair and pointed at Zhu Xiaochang tremblingly and said:

"You are lying. Sister Qiuju had sex with you before, so why was I the only one?"

Zhang Fuling grabbed the gavel and patted it hard. Dongmei was startled and quickly put away her hands.

"Han Dongmei, I didn't ask you. Please wait for a while. If you make noise in the hall again, you will be punished twenty to warn others."

One sentence calmed Han Dongmei, but her face was covered with tears. Zhu Xiaochang said it calmly, but his words were reasonable.

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at Wen's family standing behind him. Wen's family had never moved until the beginning and end, as if he didn't care.

That's right, it seems that she is not surprised by the result. Has she already planned on it?

Zhang Fuling looked at Zhu Xiaochang, "How many maids are there around you?"

"My Lord, the four are named after spring, summer, autumn and winter."

"Has the Qiuju brought the one Han Dongmei mentioned just now?"

Zhu Xiaochang nodded, "Sir, everyone in the Weizhutang of Ningwang Mansion has brought it. It's outside now, so you can ask questions at will."

Zhang Fuling waved his hand and signaled to the people around him.

"Bring Qiuju to ask questions."

As soon as the words were finished, the yamen runners went out and took a woman back to the lobby for a moment. The woman was wearing a decent maid's costume and quickly knelt down to pay homage to Zhang Fuling. Then Zhang Fuling looked at Han Dongmei.

"Can you recognize this person?"

Han Dayong pushed Dongmei's wheelchair and turned around. Then he faced the kneeling woman and carefully identified her. Dongmei nodded.

"It's her and Qiuju."

Zhang Fuling didn't even raise his head and asked at a very fast speed:

"Since you are Qiu Ju, then I asked you, have you ever had a love relationship with Zhu Xiaochang?"

Qiu Ju shook her head vigorously, her face looked extremely firm, she raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Fuling and said:

"I am not a slave, but I am still a virgin. If you don't believe me, you can find someone to verify the correctness."

As soon as this statement came out, all the people watching the fun outside were blown up. If it were really as Qiuju said, wouldn’t this Dongmei be fake? What else can I do to investigate? This is a false accusation.

Zhang Fuling grabbed the gavel and took a photo hard.

"Yingjing, then let's verify your true self. Do you two have any objections to you, Zhu Xiaochang and Han Dayong?"

Zhu Xiaochang didn't even think about it, so he immediately clasped his fists and said yes.

Dongmei grabbed Han Dayong's sleeve at this moment, her hands trembling. She shook her head at Han Dayong, wanting to disagree with this moment.

However, Han Dayong is really a cruel person. He threw away Dongmei's sleeves and clasped his fists at Zhang Fuling.
