Chapter 513: The drug is showing its effects, tell the truth
Chapter 513 The drug is taking effect. Tell the truth now.
Sitting behind a screen on one side of the lobby were Emperor Hongde, Empress Luan Xiying, and Prince Yu Xiao Jingyu.
Queen Luan Xiying frowned and her eyes were red at this time.
Not long ago, she had just heard her son briefly tell her about the Luo family's experience.
While expressing sympathy, Luan Xiying tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and said with gritted teeth, "Taking pleasure from raping women is the most beastly behavior!
It is the most hateful and despicable of all sins!
These beasts, who are worse than animals, should all be killed! They all deserve to die!"
Seeing that Luan Xiying was very angry, Emperor Hong De quickly reached out and held her tightly clenched fist, and gently advised: "Aying, don't be angry! Don't be angry!
These beasts will not have a good end!"
Xiao Jingyu also whispered, "Yes, mother, it's not worth getting angry because of such a beast!
Today is the day they die!"
With the comfort from her husband and son, Luan Xiying's anger slowly subsided.
While Emperor Hong De was comforting his wife, he was also thinking...
As for the family backgrounds of these few people, can that be called background?
They are just some insignificant officials, but their children dare to bully the good and do evil, being so arrogant and presumptuous;
Then...what about those high-ranking officials?
If the children in their families do not follow the right path, wouldn't the harm to the people be even greater?
It is time to teach those officials in the court a lesson and make them properly discipline their own children and family members;
Or perhaps, it is time to conduct a clean-up investigation of the children of officials in the court.
If there really is such a person who takes advantage of his power to bully others, you might as well deal with him first, without having to wait until someone complains.
Just like the Luo family, when their little granddaughter was captured by those evil villains, Luo Yun could only swallow his anger and leave the capital, not even daring to complain.
This injustice has been endured for more than eight years!
And those who do evil continue to do evil.
Humph! This is a family with only a minor official background;
What if the background is stronger?
I'm afraid that, in their eyes and hands, the lives of ordinary people are not even as important as an ant?
The more Emperor Hong De thought about it, the more confused he became.
At this moment, Xiao Jingyu thought of one more thing...
What he was thinking about was that after separating from Yue'er and her two siblings last night, he gave all the remaining medicine powder to An Jiu and told him to use it all on Lao Yin's family.
At the morning court today, through Leng Xian's performance, the effectiveness of "Truthfulness Powder" has been truly demonstrated.
Although there were not many medicines left at that time, especially the "Truth Powder", there was only a little left, and even less left after it was divided among the several people in the Yin family.
But, it should at least play a role, right?
Is it that the medicine hasn't taken effect yet?
Xiao Jingyu was thinking when he heard Zheng Tong in the hall speak: "Kneel down and listen. Luo Yun and his granddaughter Luo Hongtao are here to sue you for your crimes. Will you plead guilty?"
Plead guilty?
Can you still live if you confess your guilt?
I can't admit it no matter what!
No matter how scared Gao Cheng and his companions were, their instinct for survival still pushed them to make a last-ditch effort.
Gao Cheng, Zhao Gan, Wei Feng and Deng Gui who were kneeling in the hall all chose to deny it in unison.
The four of them spoke at almost the same time: "Your Excellency, we...we are wronged!"
"The little people have never done anything like that!"
"My Lord, you cannot believe these lies!
What happened eight years ago...
Eight years ago... eight years ago, we didn't do anything like this!"
"Little people usually behave themselves!"
"Yes, sir, we have never done such a thing!"
"Really?" Zheng Tong banged the gavel, interrupting several people's shouting.
“What you call being law-abiding is breaking into someone’s home in broad daylight and raping someone’s wife to death;
Seriously injuring another person resulting in death;
Kidnapping young children as hostages, forcing the victims not to report to the police and appeal for justice? "
"No... No...
My Lord, we…we didn’t…we didn’t!”
Gao Cheng and his companions still wanted to deny it outright, and were still desperately shaking their heads to argue...
At this moment, something unexpected happened, which was what Xiao Jingyu was waiting for!
Yin Baoye, who was lying on the ground, suddenly struggled to sit up and said to the prefect Zheng Tong in the hall: "That's right! That's right!
Sir, this thing... was done by a few of us!"
As soon as Yin Baoye said this, Gao Cheng, Zhao Gan, Wei Feng and Deng Gui were all dumbfounded!
Sitting behind the screen, Prince Yu Xiao Jingyu had a hint of a smile on his face...
Okay, the medicine is starting to take effect.
Emperor Hongde had actually always been suspicious of Leng Xian's performance in the Golden Throne Hall...
To say that Leng Xian is possessed by evil spirits...
I've heard of people who are possessed by evil spirits talking nonsense, but I've never heard of people who are possessed by evil spirits only telling the truth!
Therefore, before coming to Shuntian Prefecture, Emperor Hongde expressed his doubts.
After hearing this, Xiao Jingyu just smiled slightly, and then he simply told Emperor Hongde and Queen Luan Xiying that the reason why Leng Xian spoke the truth so wildly was actually because he had been given a "truth-telling powder" in advance.
The truths he spoke were insincere and he couldn't help it, but they were true!
In other words, he didn't intend to tell the truth, but under the influence of "Truth-telling powder", he had no choice but to tell the truth.
And this "Truth Telling Powder"... was made by Xiaoyue.
At the same time, Xiao Jingyu also told Emperor Hong De that he had ordered people to use the "Truth Powder" on Lao Yin's family.
Therefore, both Emperor Hongde and Empress Luan Xiying were eagerly waiting to hear the truth from the people of the Yin family!
It sounds like... we're going to start telling the truth now?
Come on! Come on!
