Chapter 387
The Sun family in the courtroom cried in a mess, begging Commander Xie to preside over justice.
"He's suffering from internal injuries?" Zhan Feiyu asked He Nuan in a low voice.
Zhan Feiyu had injured Sun Baihu's eyes that day. Afterwards, Lord Yao ordered Sun Baihu and the seriously injured to be sent to the medical clinic. He Sheng also sent people to keep an eye on them. His eyes were ruined, but his life was not in danger.
But looking at Sun Baihu, who was breathing less and less, his ashen face looked like he was about to die at any moment, it was no wonder Zhan Feiyu was suspicious.
Although He Nuan did not step forward to take his pulse, she was also proficient in medicine. Sun Baihu's weak breath indeed indicated internal injuries, and they were not light. If the eye injury caused his weakness, it would not present with such symptoms.
"Miss, you don't need to worry. Even if the person dies, there will be a coroner to examine the body," He Nuan replied. It was not that easy to frame her lady for Sun Baihu's death.
"Lord Zheng, your Ministry of Justice is most proficient in criminal law. How should this case be judged?" Commander Xie's loud voice rang out again, pulling Lord Zheng, who had been observing, into the fray.
His brows furrowed, Lord Zheng's face darkened, and he did not speak. Although it was a joint trial of the three departments, the Ministry of Justice actually had the least power. Commander Xie wanted to protect Censor Chu, and Lord Yao wanted to protect Zhan Feiyu. In this struggle between two tigers, Lord Zheng did not want to get involved.
A mocking smile appeared on Commander Xie's rugged face with a full beard. He also cared about Lord Zheng's answer. He looked at the displeased Lord Yao again and said, "Since this case involves Censor Chu, I ask Lord Yao to bring him to the court for confrontation."
"Lord Zhao, go and bring Lord Yao here." Lord Yao said in a deep voice. At this point, it was time for a conclusion.
The Sun family, who had beaten the drum to appeal, moved aside, but they still knelt on the ground. Lord Yao did not let them get up. In this cold weather, kneeling on the icy ground, one could imagine how much suffering it entailed.
Zhan Feiyu curled her lips and smiled. It was said that Lord Yao was upright and incorruptible, but she did not expect him to have such a "cunning" side.
While waiting, a constable strode in from outside. After saluting Lord Yao, who was seated behind the official desk, he said, "My lord, outside the courtroom, there is a person who claims to be the second young master of the Min family..."
Censor Chu had not yet arrived, but the second young master Min had appeared first.
Zhan Feiyu also moved to the left and watched the second young master Min, dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, enter the courtroom. He was tall but thin, with a pale, sickly complexion. His phoenix eyes were narrow, exuding阴沉 (yīnchén - gloomy/sinister) and狠厉 (hēnlì - fierce/vicious).
"Lord Yao, Commander Xie, Lord Zheng." The second young master Min cupped his hands in salute to the three lords in the courtroom, his demeanor arrogant. As a cousin of the Second Prince, he had the capital for such arrogance.
What if Lord Yao was a second-rank official? He was merely a scholar from a humble background. Their Min family was a meritorious noble family of the Great Qing Dynasty, with ancestors who followed Emperor Tianyou to establish the empire.
If the second young master Min was barely polite to Lord Yao and the others, his gaze towards Zhan Feiyu was extremely fierce, and he made a throat-slitting gesture.
Uh...
Zhan Feiyu, who was stunned, blinked and then rolled her eyes in boredom. If it were the Second Prince, it would be one thing. He was merely related to the Second Prince's maternal family, and moreover, a collateral descendant. To be so arrogant, if the Second Prince were to become the crown prince one day, wouldn't he be soaring to the heavens?
