The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 735 The Perfect Counterattack at the Public Trial (4)

Or could it be that even if Jun Hejia's father is found guilty in the end, the Holy Emperor will not even sit down and involve Jun Jun Hejia? This is very possible!

No matter which one it was, it was enough to let them know how much Emperor Hui'an valued Mo Yan, and many ministers who looked down on Mo Yan's poor background began to reassess her value.

Emperor Hui'an seemed unaware of the turmoil caused by his small move. Seeing that the time was almost up, he immediately announced the start of the public trial.

Soon, the guards outside moved four long tables and eight chairs on both sides of the hall. Then, eight officials selected by Emperor Hui'an from the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Households took their seats to preside over the trial of this case of examination fraud.

Then, Mo Qingze was brought to the main hall by the guards.

After being imprisoned in the Prison Prison for half a month, Mo Qingze seemed to be in good spirits, but his clothes looked dirty. Not only was it stained with black ash, but there were also several holes and the charred edges made it obvious that it was caused by the fire last night.

Mo Yan looked at her father who was kneeling on the ground for a moment. After confirming that there were no burns on his body except for his clothes that were burned and his hair that was a little burnt, he felt relieved. She just couldn't help but look down on the eight presiding judges who were serious in speech. Even though she knew that Xiao Ruiyuan and Chu Heng were fully prepared, she still couldn't help but worry in her heart, fearing that something else would happen.

Mo Qingze also noticed Mo Yan sitting in front of the hall. Seeing the worry hidden in her eyes, he gave her a reassuring smile. There was no trace of fear, anxiety or depression or any negative emotions on his handsome face.

In accordance with the general interrogation procedures, the chief interrogator of the Criminal Department asked Mo Qingze in detail about his name, place of origin, schooling experience, etc. After confirming that there were no problems with the personal information, he asked seriously: "Mo Qingze, Someone has accused you of cheating in the examination, and there are both witnesses and material evidence, can you plead guilty?"

Mo Qingze looked solemn, raised his hands towards the presiding judge, and said loudly: "Student Han Chuang has studied hard for ten years, and has gone through no less than a hundred examinations. I dare to guarantee with my life that I have never cheated!" The student will deny to death the crime of cheating in the examination room!"

Looking at Mo Qingze, who was kneeling upright in the middle of the hall, his strength intact even though he was in a mess, the students who still had the spirit of scholarly work felt less disgusted with him. They felt that such a person did not look like the kind of person who wanted to work in a camp. The villain of the trail.

The expected answer was that the chief judge of the Ministry of Punishment did not change his expression. He stood up and asked Emperor Hui'an for instructions: "Wei Chen is requesting witnesses to enter the palace so that he can confront Mo Qingze in public. I hope the Holy Spirit will grant me permission!"

Emperor Hui'an listened to the quiet discussion in the palace and said with a serious look: "Yes!"

The witnesses who had been taken outside the hall and were waiting were brought in by the guards. They were three young people in their mid-twenties.

It was Xu's first time to come to such a solemn place in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and because the most powerful people in the whole of Chu were gathered in the hall, the three young people walked to the center of the hall with twinkling eyes, and knelt down to Mo Qingze with their legs weak. Beside him, a trembling man kowtowed to Emperor Hui'an.

If it were normal, it would be nothing. After all, it would be the first time for everyone to be afraid of such an occasion. However, compared with Mo Qingze's previous performance, the timid appearance of these three people was too unflattering. They did not look like witnesses, but more like criminals who were being interrogated with a guilty conscience after being exposed for fraud.

In the corner, two scholars were discussing quietly:

"The eyes of these three people are not straight at all. They are much worse than the suspect Mo Qingze. Do you think these three people are committing perjury?"

"You know people, they know faces, but you don't know their hearts. What can you tell from the surface? Maybe those three people are too timid, and Mo Qingze is just pretending!"

"That's true, but it's not the end yet and no one knows what the outcome will be. We'll just wait and see what happens."

"Yeah, after all, after waiting for so many days, it won't be short of this time and a half."

There were more than one or two similar questions. King Heng listened and clenched his fists tightly. His eyes fell on Chu Heng, who was less than an arm's length away from him, and then fell on Mo Qingze, who was kneeling in the hall, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

When Mo Qingze heard the three people's greetings, he felt that they sounded familiar, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the three people beside him. When he saw the appearance of the three people, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "How could it be you?"

With this tone, he obviously knew these three people. Mo Qingze did know them. These three people were none other than when he was studying at Changshan Academy and Changshan Academy held some competitions with other academies.

Although the relationship is not as close as that of Han Zhiyun, it is not bad. Before the banquet, he specially handed over the invitation, but the three of them refused to come because they had something to do. It turned out that they had done such slanderous things behind his back!

Hearing this, the three of them unconsciously lowered their heads to avoid Mo Qingze's angry gaze, but they persuaded Mo Qingze in a serious tone: "Brother Ziyu, we are sorry for you, but you are cheating in the first place." No, we are doing this for the sake of the countless students in the world who are studying hard. You, you can blame us if you want, but we will never regret doing this!"

When Mo Qingze heard this, he was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at the three people with a trembling index finger and was speechless.

This scene, in the eyes of others, added a lot of speculation. It was nothing more than one person's fraud being discovered by three friends. Out of moral integrity, the three friends exposed the matter after Qiu Wei's results came out.

If you really care about it, you can't tell who is right and who is wrong.

The presiding judge of the Criminal Department turned a deaf ear to those comments and asked the three people kneeling in front of the hall: "You previously accused Mo Qingze of cheating and said that you had seen someone with his Qiu Wei's test questions and answers. You took the situation at that time as a Say it again in front of everyone.”

Upon hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, and one of them told what he saw at that time...
