Chapter 215 Will Go to Hell
Chapter 215 Will Go to Hell
"This case is full of doubts. I'm afraid it won't be clear in a short time. Sir, why don't we try it another day?"
Nan Rongxin looked at the prefect with a smile.
The prefect was a shrewd man and naturally understood what he meant. He was just about to say that the trial would be rescheduled for another day.
Liang shouted hysterically, "I have provided evidence. What else is there to not understand? Your Excellency must give me a result today."
If the trial is postponed to another day, she might not even see the sun tomorrow.
The prefect's face turned red with anger and he spoke sternly.
"You are so bold, Liang. I will never allow you to question my decision. Come, give me 20 lashes of the board and take me away."
"How could the prefect do this? There are witnesses and evidences, but he didn't beat the guilty person, but beat the poor Liang instead. This is clearly partiality."
"That's right. Just now, Prince Zheng beat up Liang in court, but he didn't punish her. Now he wants to save face again. It's just hypocrisy."
"It's unfair. We can't hit Liang."
The people around couldn't bear it anymore when they saw this scene.
People's hearts will always be on the side of the weak, and Liang is not only a weak person, but also a person who is reasonable.
They really couldn't stand the prefect's partiality. Could such a prefect still uphold justice for the common people?
"You ants, how can you have any say?" The eldest princess stood up and scolded the people.
She is a princess who is high above everyone else. How can she let these lowly people point fingers at her?
"Prefect, arrest all those unruly people outside."
"Wan'er." Nan Rongxin frowned, a warning flashed in his eyes.
It would be fine if he was spoiled on weekdays, but what's the situation now? He is still so ignorant of the immensity of the world.
The people outside are not worthy of their attention, but if they are really angered, the consequences will be disastrous.
At this juncture, the best thing to do is to give in.
They thought it was just a simple case of adultery, and they didn't take Liang's lawsuit seriously. They had plenty of ways to avoid it.
Who knew that Liang was just using adultery as a cover-up, and the real case he wanted to sue was murder, and he had witnesses and evidence.
If he had known this would be the case, he would not have allowed these people to be present.
Seeing that the people's voices were becoming more and more intense, he quickly winked at the prefect again.
The prefect clapped the stick in his hand and said, "Quiet."
"The evidence provided by Liang is insufficient. I still need to verify it. I will stop here today and re-examine the case on another day."
"No, it has to be today." Liang, who was about to be dragged away to be beaten with a stick, was still roaring.
"Please, sir, give me justice."
"Pull it down."
Liang's shrill cries could not bring back any sympathy from the prefect. He still waved his hand and ordered people to drag her away.
Nan Rongwan smiled proudly at her, this whole world belonged to their Nan Rong family.
It's just a daydream to think of dealing with her.
Just when Liang thought that there was no hope for revenge, a gentle but angry voice came in.
"Wait a moment."
She turned her head and saw a man in a black brocade robe, whose gender was difficult to tell, standing at the gate of the government office. The sunlight shone on him, and he looked like a fairy from heaven.
At this moment, she struggled to break free from the restraints of the police and crawled to Nan Rongzhi.
"Please ask Your Highness the Crown Prince to make the decision for me and my sister."
Nan Rongzhi bent down and helped her up. "My Nanrong country has always put the law first. Anyone who breaks the law will never be forgiven. What do you think, sir?"
"This..." The prefect was so scared that he kept wiping his cold sweat. He was just a small official of the fourth rank. Could you please not make things difficult for him?
"You are not working for the court, you are working for the people. If you don't even understand this simple principle, then you don't deserve to be in this position."
Nan Rongzhi's words immediately aroused the people's echo and applause.
Some people at the bottom of society couldn't help but shed tears in their eyes. Yes, the court officials were supposed to work for the people, but now they have become the pawns of those aristocratic families, making things difficult for the people.
They had no way to seek redress and could only swallow their anger, thinking that they would have to live like this for the rest of their lives.
But the prince's words just now undoubtedly gave them hope. If the future king is the prince, then these corrupt officials will be dealt with.
Their lives are getting better and better.
Nan Rongxin was already in a bad mood when he saw him appear, and he became even more furious when he saw that he won people's hearts with just a few words.
"Royal brother, this matter seems to have nothing to do with you?"
"How can it be unrelated? She is your sister, and also my sister. Also, I am the crown prince. Everything in Nanrong Kingdom has to do with me."
Nan Rongzhi pulled Liang to the main hall and spoke righteously.
"Your Excellency the Prefect, I wonder if I can sit in on the trial."
"Uh..." The prefect subconsciously glanced at the eldest prince.
Nan Rongxin knew that if he was allowed to participate, not to mention what would happen to Nan Rongwan, Zheng Xiao would probably not be able to be saved.
"Royal brother, the prefect has just said that the trial will end here today. If you want to attend the trial, I will send someone to notify you at the next trial."
Nan Rongzhi ignored him and looked at the prefect, "Why do you want to reschedule the trial?"
"This... there is insufficient evidence, and it will take time to verify..." The prefect tried hard to think of the wording.
Upon seeing this, Nan Rongzhi walked straight to his side and took the evidence that Liang had just presented.
He read through the pages carefully, then sneered, "We have all the evidence, what else do you want to verify, Mr. Prefect?"
"Uh... this... this..." The prefect wiped the sweat from his forehead again in fear, "These evidences can only prove that Prince Zheng killed Daliang, and have nothing to do with the eldest princess."
There is no other way now, I can only keep one for now.
With Nan Rongzhi's arrival, they were doomed to be unable to destroy the evidence. Murder must be paid with life, and Zheng Xiao had solid evidence and there was no way he could deny it.
"From these evidences, it seems that the imperial sister did not participate in the murder of Daliang."
Nan Rongzhi turned her head and looked at Nan Rongwan, who was still looking up with a condescending look.
"Liang, do you have any other evidence?"
Liang shook her head. This was all she had found out. She couldn't arrange for anyone to go to the eldest princess's side, so she couldn't go and investigate.
"But it is a fact that she committed adultery with Zheng Xiao."
"What facts? You didn't see it with your own eyes. I won't allow you to slander me."
At this point, Nan Rongwan still denied it flatly, "You were the one who beat me. There is evidence and witnesses. You can't deny it."
"I...I..." Seeing her bullying others like this, Liang couldn't help but yelled, "Nan Rongwan, I can't do anything to you today, but sooner or later, you will go to hell."
