Ni Cangshu's pupils were dilated, and his wide-open eyes had a strange sense of humor.
The people were in a commotion, and Mrs. Qi stood on the side of the drum like a female general. Beside her, the Qi family members straightened their backs and looked heroic!
This sense of oppression, as well as the silent urging of the people, made Ni Cangshu beat a drum in his heart.
He even turned around and looked behind him a little helplessly, but there was no one there.
He broke down and yelled: Why is Shi Mu so slow!
These people are crazy. They are so audacious that they dare to confront the Holy One. How is he going to deal with it?
The sudden change in his expression caught Ling Yutong's eyes, and it was hard to scare him too much. She took a step forward and nodded to Ni Cangshu.
"Master Ni, we have not lost our minds. Please don't look at us with such an expression."
"The name of rebellion is the highest insult for any military general. The case has not been tried for a long time, which makes us uneasy."
"Today, we really have no choice. Please open the door and let us go to the hall."
She was polite and spoke calmly and wisely, which brought Ni Cangshu back from his thoughts of turning around and leaving.
Shi Mu also ran over panting at this time.
He has some weak energy brought from his mother's womb, and his face is always pale, but his eyes are full of energy.
As soon as he came, he first nodded to Mrs. Qi, and then grabbed Ni Cangshu.
"Sir, let them go to court first."
"Anyone who beats the drum to complain about injustice will be tried."
Ni Cangshu nodded. With Shi Mu by his side, his previous confusion was gone, his expression became more serious, and he had the majesty of a fifth-grade official.
The door of Dali Temple was opened, and Mrs. Qi turned her head and looked at Ling Yutong.
The family climbed up the stairs resolutely.
At this moment, the palace.
The Holy Shang was playing chess with Taifu Tong, and the most critical step was reached.
The clear white stone fell on the chessboard, and the corner of the Holy Master's lips slowly raised a smile that was sure to win.
"I win, I accept."
Taifu Tong smiled in annoyance: "Oh, it's obviously only a little bit close. Sure enough, we have to attack directly. We don't have to use dangerous tactics to win the battle openly."
The Holy Emperor's expression became even more satisfied.
He likes courtiers who can talk, know how to measure, and know how to advance and retreat.
Not like that Qi Songjin!
Taifu Tong's eyes flashed and he said in a low voice: "Those two lieutenants are really tough-mouthed. I wonder what kind of ecstasy soup the Qi family gave them, and they were tortured with five hundred knives without even saying a word."
The Holy Master's face darkened slightly.
Just at this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the hall. Xifu lowered his eyes and tried his best to hold back the unconscious trembling in his body.
"Your Majesty, the Qi family... went to Dali Temple to play drums."
The Holy One suddenly stood up: "What are you talking about! How dare they act so boldly? Didn't you tell them to live in peace and wait for the result?"
Cold sweat fell from Xifu's forehead.
"This...it is said that the guards guarding the Qi family were ordered to destroy the Qi family. The Qi family was in chaos, and the guards injured Mrs. Qi! Mrs. Qi vomited blood on the spot, and the Qi family was humiliated. They couldn't bear it..."
"Except for Qi Ce and Qi Yan, the whole family, with the support of the people, went to Dali Temple to demand a lawsuit against you and a public trial of the case..."
"If we don't open the trial, we just don't want to give justice to the Qi family."
The more he spoke, the darker his face became.
The more he spoke, the weaker his voice became.
Looking at the Holy One again, he was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, his chest was heaving violently, and he was gritting his teeth every word.
"Who said I gave the order to destroy the Qi family?"
That house was given to the Qi family by him. It was a precious and priceless treasure. Would he be willing to smash it?
Xifu gritted his teeth: "No, I don't know... Your Majesty, the Qi family has now gone to the lobby, and countless people in the city are gathered outside, with agitated emotions..."
No delay.
"And at the scene of the chaos, Guard Xue was also there. He was the one who brought this news."
At this time, before the Holy One could react, Taifu Tong frowned: "Confused!"
What's the use of telling them about this kind of thing involving public grievances!
There was a frightening gloomy aura flowing in the hall, and the Holy Father's old face looked like an old pickled cabbage that had been smelly for thirty years, so frighteningly sour.
He is an emperor, and he must not leave the impression that he treats loyal people harshly.
The Qi family forced him to go to this public trial, but he had to go!
"Prepare the carriage and horses!"
Dali Temple.
Suddenly there was the sound of carriages and horses in the distance, and a very distinguished carriage passed through the crowd of kneeling people and stopped at the door.
Ni Cangshu didn't care about the people in the hall. He dragged Shi Mu and ran to greet them, his heart beating as fast as a drum.
Every step the Holy Master takes is filled with majesty that shakes the heavens and makes people breathless.
But Mrs. Qi's aura was even stronger. She held Qi Songjin's portrait and looked back without flinching.
"Wu Li met His Majesty and dared to ask what caused the Qi family's displeasure with His Majesty. He actually spared no expense to the friendship between monarch and ministers for many years and sent people directly to the door to insult the heroic spirit of our Qi family!"
She pulled Mrs. Qi in front of her, with sadness in her eyes: "My Qi family members are weak and cannot bear the heavy blows from the guards. After today's attack, I am afraid that they will be riddled with pain for decades to come and will not be able to recover."
"Your Majesty, if you want me to die, I have no choice but to die. As long as you issue an imperial edict, even the entire Qi family will commit suicide in the hall without any complaints."
"But why do you torture us like this?"
She covered her face and wiped her tears. Such an expression at such an age was really touching.
"There is also my son-in-law, Ace, I don't know where he is, and Ayan is still in the training room..."
The people around were shocked by the tragic situation of the Qi family.
Their eyes were red, and they spontaneously shouted slogans in unison.
"Please give justice to the Qi family!"
The sound is heart-breaking.
The sound of kowtows is endless and can make people cry.
This scene was filled with an aura of righteousness, which was very emotional. Even Ni Cangshu couldn't help but wipe his eyes. Fortunately, Shi Mu bumped into him in time, and his face tightened.
Because His Majesty’s face is so ugly right now!
As the king of a country, he is probably the first to be forced into this situation.
shame!
The raging anger was suppressed, and the Holy Father stepped forward to support Mrs. Qi, smiling softly but not smiling.
"Aren't you asking for a public trial? When I came here, I already informed the Ministry of Punishment to bring everyone here for the trial!"
He glanced sideways at Ni Cangshu and automatically sat on a stool at the side of the hall.
Ni Cangshu's psychological pressure doubled, and he looked at Shi Mu with pleading eyes. That was the Holy One! How dare he sit in the first place in front of the Holy One!
Shi Mu coughed, politely.
"In today's trial, Your Majesty has a distinguished status, and the junior officials do not dare to sit down, so they just stand by the table, so that they can judge the case more thoroughly."
He glanced at Ni Cangshu, and the two of them stood still.
Before anyone came, the Holy Master turned his head and his voice was slightly deeper.
"Old madam, relax, you and I are watching this interrogation process together. If the Qi family is loyal to the country, I will not let the loyal bones be wronged."
Mrs. Qi's words followed closely.
"Then after the truth is revealed, let my son's body go home."
The smile on the Holy Master's face faltered, and he nodded rather reluctantly.
He lowered his eyes for a moment and whispered: "Also, did the old lady misunderstand something? I never gave any order to destroy the Qi family. Isn't that house still given to you by me?"
He tried to get through, but Ling Yutong was not willing.
She looked aggrieved by her daughter's family, and her tone was tearful.
"But, so many people in the city have seen it. Those guards are so fierce, and they actually attack my mother. If they are so arrogant without relying on them, isn't it...impossible?"
Next to her was Mrs. Qi. As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Qi fell down, as if she was too weak to have any strength.
Ling Yutong was shocked: "Mother!"
Qi Yun and Qi Zekai also hurriedly gathered around, with worries in their eyes.
The saint’s eyelids twitched!
But he can't fail! Otherwise, his reputation for treating women harshly today will never go away!
He tilted his head to look at Mrs. Qi, but due to the angle, he could only see her pale and thin lower jaw.
The three brothers and sisters firmly blocked Mrs. Qi. Ling Yutong's eyes turned red and she felt her dress being gently tugged.
