Chapter 209 Xiao Shizhong really came prepared!
"One two three, let go!"
Both Xiao Shizhong and Cui Sheng were choking enough, but they let go without cheating, and then lay down on the ground gasping for breath.
"Cui Gui, wait for me to catch my breath!"
"Hmph, who is afraid of whom!"
...
Xiao Shizhong and Cui Sheng cursed and sparred with each other, and they rested for a quarter of an hour, but neither of them had any intention of fighting.
"Uncle, Cui Xiang, whether you two still fight or not, we are waiting for you."
Liu Jing's fun is up, and he doesn't want to think about the trial for the time being, anyway, it's not too late, such fun is not often seen, and he still looks forward to the fight between the two.
Maybe the two fights are a bit like girls, they are tearing and biting all the time, and the expressions are also amazing, so the visual sense is more irritating.
After fighting for such a long time, the two of them didn't have any obvious injuries on their faces except for their messy and damaged clothes.
Xing Bang naturally didn't bother to care about it, and he could see that Xiao Shizhong probably didn't intend to deny it, anyway, it was the two of them who lost face, so it didn't matter.
"Cui Sheng, it's not because of the sixth prince's face, I must kill you today!"
"Hmph, you think I'm not!"
Obviously, both of them are talking about their mouths at this moment, and they can't move after a short rest.
"Don't, don't, you don't need to look at my face, you really don't need to look at my face."
Liu Jing waved his hands hastily when he heard that, but he was a little unhappy when he saw that the flag was about to die down.
Xiao Shizhong and Cui Sheng looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't want to do anything anymore because of the seriousness of this matter, but no one wanted to open their mouths without stepping down.
Wu Jingzhi was like a bright mirror in his heart, and quickly stood up, "Your Highness, I think we should try the case quickly. If this matter is to be spread, it will lose the face of the court."
When Xiao Shizhong heard this, he also stood up, and said to Liu Jing, "Your Highness, it's the humble minister who is being rude, and shouldn't be like that fellow Cui Sheng!"
Cui Sheng also stood up immediately, and said with a cold snort: "I still have the face to say, I don't know who made the first move."
"My lords, stop bickering, if this continues, it will be dark soon."
Wu Jingzhi hurriedly continued to smooth things over.
Then, Xiao and Cui just looked at each other and sneered, and didn't say anything more, it was considered as the end of this farce.
"Since you don't do anything, let's continue to try the case!"
Liu Jing was still a little disappointed.
The butler, who had been kneeling on the ground, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The worst thing was himself, if he knelt until dark...
"Master Wu, Xiao Shizhong is also the uncle of this king. It is better for this king to avoid suspicion. I will leave it to you to preside over the trial."
"This…"
Wu Jingzhi glanced at Xing Bang, hesitating whether to push it to him?
"Why, Mr. Wu, as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, isn't it your duty to try this case?"
After speaking, Liu Jing walked down from the hall. He was really tired and didn't want to interrogate, but he couldn't hand it over to Xiao Bangzi anymore. He thought in his heart that if Xiao Bangzi wanted to ask, he would naturally tell him directly. , so just give it to Wu Jingzhi directly.
"Since that's the case, then I can just ask questions on behalf of His Highness."
Wu Jingzhi couldn't evade it, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet. The two switched places, and Liu Jing sat down next to Xing Bang to listen.
After Wu Jingzhi sat down, he patted the gavel, "Quiet!"
Cui Sheng wanted to return to his original position and sit down, but was stopped by Wu Jingzhi, "Cui Xiang, as Master Xiao said, you should stand in the hall and confront each other like Master Xiao."
Cui Sheng tried his best to prove that everything was done by Xiao Shizhong alone, and gave himself a pushover, and the housekeeper didn't testify against him, so it was not difficult to set up a seat for him.
Wu Jingzhi thought, if Cui Sheng is asked to sit there, Xiao Shizhong will naturally not let him go, so why don't you both stand there.
Cui Sheng pouted, and helplessly stood side by side with Xiao Shizhong in the hall.
"Lord Xiao, the housekeeper accused you of killing the dozen or so girls and handing them over to him to dispose of the corpses. I wonder what excuse you have?"
"Master Wu, as I said just now, the reason why I went to Xiangfu was that Cui Sheng invited me in the name of his concubine. I am indeed somewhat infatuated with that woman, and every time I go there, I get drunk, even What happened, I don't even remember the next day!"
Xiao Shizhong really came prepared, neither admitting nor denying it.
His intentions are obvious, even if I did the thing, and I was unconscious, there is another explanation, that is Cui Sheng may have framed him.
Anyway, I'm just pretending to be confused, let's see what you can do to me!
Wu Jingzhi and Xiao Shizhong had a good personal relationship, and secretly thought that Xiao Shizhong's move was indeed clever, and his words were not only related to the case, but also crucial.
"Master Cui, what Master Xiao said is the truth?"
Cui Sheng is not stupid, he naturally understood Xiao Shizhong's intentions very quickly, although what he said was almost inseparable, but he understands better that if this fact is established, the nature will change, and you will definitely not be able to fulfill your wish.
"Xiao Shizhong, you really know how to beat me up. You are obviously the one who covets my wife's beauty, and you blame me for being weak. Because of your power, you swallow your anger..."
"Master Wu, Xiao Shizhong's words are purely rhetoric to justify himself. I, Cui, am a dignified right-hand man after all. How could I do such a nasty thing?"
"Xiao Shizhong, no matter what you say, you still want to deny the crime of taking a dozen lives indiscriminately?"
Cui Sheng didn't eat dry food, so he directly put a heavy shit bowl on Xiao Shizhong's head.
"Cui Sheng, this housekeeper belongs to you. Every time I get drunk and lose my mind, I still say that you two, master and servant, set me up."
Anyway, Xiao Shizhong is determined, no matter how bad things can go, just according to what his father Xiao Guogang said, he will never admit it directly, just make this mess as muddy as possible.
You are wronged, but I am more wronged than you!
"Xiao Shizhong, you are spitting blood, and you are afraid of witnesses, so you can't deny it!"
"You can say whatever you want, I don't remember these things at all anyway."
"Master Wu, Your Highness, all the lords here, as the housekeeper and Cui Sheng said, I was the one who killed the man, and then I handed it over to Cui Sheng to deal with it and left safely. Would you guys do this instead? The two of them Can his testimony be trusted?"
The more Xiao Shizhong talked, the more he got in shape, and he felt that if he continued to talk like this, he would believe that he had never done these things.
"Quiet, stop arguing!"
Wu Jingzhi patted the gavel heavily, and then looked at Liu Jing, "Your Highness, both sides are fighting for their reasons, what do you think should be done?"
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that Xiao Shizhong is probably making sophistry, but the Xiao family is so powerful, who dares to make rash judgments.
Liu Jingting's brain hurts, he has no idea, he looked at Xing Bang eagerly, and then Xing Bang whispered something in his ear.
Liu Jingjing nodded, "My lord, let's come here today, put the three suspects in prison, and try again at another day!"
