Chapter Twelve: The Shadow of Swords Between Brothers
Chu Qiluo pursed her lips and smiled, and secretly made up her mind to bring the case to a conclusion today while Xiao Yimo was around. It is not always such a good opportunity. If there is another trial next time, with the prince's methods, the person will definitely be replaced.
"Bah!" Xiao Yimo shouted in a deep voice as the gavel struck, "Chu Qiluo, I..."
When asked and answered, Chu Qiluo responded calmly, neither arrogant nor arrogant. Whether it was the Crown Prince deliberately making things difficult or Ye Langxie's pointed questions intentionally or unintentionally, she could handle them with ease. She worked hard to shift the focus to the doubtful points of the case, avoid the important points and answer the questions appropriately.
, every time she answered, she would get a nod of approval from Xiao Yimo. She was very happy in her heart but remained calm on her face.
Finally, when Xiao Yimo finished asking the questions, he was shocked: "After my careful review, there are many doubts about this case. I will list it in detail and submit it to the emperor, who will make the decision himself. Does Prince Chen have any objections?" Prince Chen
He and Ye Tingyu were only hearing the trial, so he determined that the only person with the power to intervene in the case was Ye Langxie, who was personally authorized by the emperor to interrogate the case.
Chu Qiluo secretly praised him, he was honest and strict, not afraid of power, he was a truly good official! But this attitude of completely ignoring the prince... No wonder he was demoted all the way down.
The prince's face was livid, and he was gritting his teeth in anger, but he did not want to confront Xiao Yimo to avoid looking ugly. He was so depressed that his face was a little distorted.
With a faint smile, Ye Langxie turned his fingers slowly and unnecessarily, and said in a deep voice: "Master Xiao, please handle the case. I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
"Okay!" Xiao Yimo's eyes were clear. It was probably the first time he had encountered a prince who did not use his power to speak out. The appreciation in his eyes was undisguised: "This case..."
"Slow down!" The prince finally couldn't help but interrupted him: "I have something to say!"
Seeing that the conclusion that had been drawn was about to be broken again, Chu Qiluo couldn't suppress her anger. She suddenly raised her head and glared at him: "Your Highness, you are only hearing the trial. It seems that you have no right to intervene in the case!"
With a pale face, the prince snorted coldly: "I just feel that there are objections to this case. Is there anything wrong with raising my opinion?"
It really doesn't matter. After all, he is the prince and still has this power. So although Chu Qiluo was angry, she could only grit her teeth and shut up.
Xiao Yimo frowned and looked sideways: "Your Highness, please speak."
"Every case is judged first and then judged. During the interrogation, various evidences need to be cited to prove innocence. It is never possible to judge the right and wrong of a case with one-sided words." The prince paused and saw Xiao Yimo nodding slightly.
, he smiled and said: "The biggest evidence in this case is the treasonous letter written by Chu Jinxuan. I don't think the case can't be concluded with such conclusive evidence."
"I have already said it." Xiao Yimo's expression was quite cold, not thinking that he was the prince at all: "There are some doubts about the letter. I will make a decision after I present the question to the emperor."
"You are just asking a few questions so lightly, how can a cunning sinner plead guilty! Mr. Xiao, are you so lax in handling the case?" The prince also lost his temper. He must not just present it to his father, otherwise, if a thorough investigation reveals that the Chu family is
Being wrongly accused, wouldn’t it mean that the prince who intercepted the letter would be charged with framing Zhongliang? The Chu family must die whether they die or not!
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Yimo's face, and he said sarcastically: "Then what should we do according to His Highness the Crown Prince's wishes? Serve him with severe punishment?"
As soon as these words came out, Lian Ye Langxie also raised his lips and smiled, and his cold eyes glanced at Chu Qiluo.
"That's right!" The prince was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He didn't care about the sarcasm in his words and shouted: "Chu Qiluo is so cunning, how can she be scared and tell the truth without being punished!"
It turned out to be what he thought. The prince really wanted to be punished. He suppressed his smile. Xiao Yimo's anger was not concealed and he also started to attack the case: "I am not as good as your highness the prince. I never use severe torture to extract confessions when judging cases, so this case is here."
Having concluded, I will present the entire trial process to the Emperor and take my leave!" He walked away without caring about the reactions of everyone present.
When Chu Qiluo heard what she wanted to hear, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she raised her head slightly to look at the prince. She was immediately startled. The prince was still staring at Xiao Yimo's leaving back. What was burning in his eyes was no longer just anger.
... She was shocked. Could it be that he would be harmful to Xiao Yimo?
The prince seemed to notice her gaze and glared at her fiercely. She pretended not to care and looked away, but when her deep eyes met Ye Langxie's, she suddenly felt at ease. With Ye Langxie being so shrewd,
She must have guessed it, he was so calm and composed, so she had nothing to worry about.
"I heard that Mr. Chu wrote a blood letter and wanted to present it to my father?" The prince narrowed his eyes and smiled sinisterly: "Prisoner, where is the blood letter?"
The jailer was sweating coldly and didn't know how to speak for a moment. There was indeed a blood letter, but now it is gone. According to the original plan, he presented it to Prince Chen, then said he didn't know anything about it, and finally got the blood letter out of Prince Chen.
Chu Jinxuan was beaten to death directly for the crime of private communication... He had even set the mechanism on the blood letter, and when he pressed it...
But all this was ruined by Ye Langxie's wave of sleeves. The blood book was completely burned. How could he cooperate with His Highness the Crown Prince to perform this double act? That's right! His eyes lit up, and there was still a piece of blood book.
He presented it to Ye Tingyu, who used this blood letter to break into the prison...
He bowed to the ground respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, the blood book has always been in Lord Chu's hands, but just now I saw it in the hands of Prince Jin..." He said in a long and condescending voice, "I don't know why."
"That's unreasonable!" The prince clapped his hands and said, "Are you insinuating that my younger brother will have illicit affairs with criminals? How could he not know that trespassing in the Heavenly Prison is a capital crime? Do you think he would..." He suddenly paused,
He smiled kindly at Ye Tingyu and said, "Brother, you must have come to the prison with the help of your father, right?"
Ye Tingyu's face was pale, his lips were pale, and he sat beside Ye Langxie without saying a word, staring down at the tea.
Ye Langxie laughed suddenly at the side: "Blood book? How could Ting Yu have such an unlucky thing? Brother Emperor, how about we make a bet on this blood book?"
The prince's eyes lit up. Of course the jailer didn't dare to say nonsense. Since he could say this, he must be sure of it. He originally wanted to get Ye Tingyu to plead guilty, but since Ye Langxie came to the door himself, if he could drag him away in one fell swoop,
Of course it’s best to go into the water: “Brother, please tell me.”
"Ting Yu is a prince, so it is impossible for the jailer to search his body. However, since our three brothers have bathed together since they were young, it doesn't matter, so we asked him to take off his clothes. We checked bit by bit and found His Highness the Blood Book.
Win, how about letting me and Ting Yu do whatever they want?" In order to hook the prince, he even used the word "brother".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~· Do you want to take off your clothes! If you want it, scatter the flowers quickly. Is the collection big~~ Haha
