In the Kaifeng Prefecture Court, Chen Shimei finally became desperate.

When he was first taken to Kaifeng Mansion, he thought that he was the prince-consort. Even if he had any mistakes, he would not have lost his life. No matter how powerful Bao Zheng was, would he really dare to let Princess Longqing be a widow?

This son-in-law is a royal relative! Even if it is Bao Qingtian, he must have just made a move. At most, he will only be a cut off his official position and a fine of several years. The emperor is his father-in-law, so is it not easy to pardon his son-in-law?

But when he saw that Guo Huai was also taken to Kaifeng Prefecture prison overnight, Chen Shimei was completely panicked.

Who is Guo Huai? Apart from Tong Chenggong, a big eunuch who doesn’t look like a eunuch, is like the second most famous eunuch among the Dagen eunuchs, and he was arrested overnight. Guo Huai should be in the Damen at this time...

When he was taken to the court the next day, he saw Guo Huai beside him with a gray look on his face. He looked at the seats temporarily added in the hall, including the Eight Wise Kings, Kou Tianguan, the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of the Dali Temple... Several first- and second-rank officials in the court were all crowded on the court, among which there was the first confidant of the official family.

When he saw the official father-in-law's most confidant eunuch in the hall, he still let Kaifeng Prefecture interrogate him. Chen Shimei is also the new top scholar, so how could he not understand? Suddenly a chill rose from the soles of his feet, and he shivered.

A young girl in green who was sitting next to the left hand of the Eight Wise King looked at Chen Shimei disdainfully and curled her lips, "I gave birth to a good baby in vain, but I am just a courageless waste. It's a pity that Longqing...

But he is Longqing's husband after all. Lord Bao, you wouldn't be so cruel. Do you really want Longqing to be a widow, right?"

After Princess Longqing begged Zhao Heng, she was still worried, so she ran to beg Queen Liu again. Knowing that the dragon girl Ao Lin was noble in her status and was like a guest of state, she repeatedly begged her to come to Kaifeng Prefecture for trial. If the father and mother's queen had not given a special amnesty and Bao was about to kill the prince-consort, it would be entirely up to Ao Lin to save her life.

Faced with Princess Longqing's request, Ao Lin refused to comment, but he came.

She was not interested in saving Chen Shimei, a "scumbag", but she was quite interested in how Bao Zheng tried the case. Her father said that he was a contemporary Cao, but even a contemporary Cao would have to give Emperor Dagen some mercy? If he really killed the son-in-law of "Brother Zhao", this princess would recognize him as a great official!

Before the case was tried, Ao Lin was like the people who were attending the court, and had already determined that Chen Shimei was most of the guilty.

When did Bao Qingtian missed someone?

"Whether Prince Chen should be killed? I only look at the evidence of the case. Even if Princess Longqing is a widow, so what?"

Bao Zheng looked at several important officials in the court and Ao Lin, and especially looked at Tong Chenggong with a smile, and had already guessed Zhao Heng’s plan in his heart.

He didn't even save his son-in-law, but gave Kaifeng Prefecture enough power. This Dagen official family is quite bold... But even if you want to pardon Chen Shimei, you have to see if the laws of Kaifeng Prefecture can tolerate him!

Then he slapped the arson and said sternly: "Chen Shimei, as the new top scholar and the son-in-law of the dynasty, you are deeply grateful to the emperor. You should be obedient to the public and law-abiding, and you will be willing to serve the country with all your ambitions. In this way, you may become a famous minister of a generation.

But you! In order to be greedy for wealth and glory, you have no choice but to kill your wife, intending to deceive the emperor. Now that you have arrived at the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, are you still unwilling to come to the real world!"

"Mr. Bao, this prince consort is obviously innocent. What did you ask me to recruit?"

Chen Shimei gritted her teeth secretly. Since the official Taishan refused to issue an order to pardon him, she could only resist to the end.

"It is clear that someone intends to defame his own official. Lord Bao was once Shimei's mentor. Please check it carefully and don't be trapped by villains."

Bao Zheng smiled and said, "Come on, bring Chen Shimei aside and bring Gui Xiu Qin Xianglian to the hall!"

It was the second hour of Si. The Kaifeng Prefecture Courtyard was opened, and half of the lobby was shrouded in sunlight. Qin Xianglian walked up to the court step by step, with a handsome face and a gentle orchid. She looked like a stranger. The people watching outside the court immediately discussed.

"Good guy, this is Qin Xianglian, the prince consort's ghost wife? She looks like a living person. He can't bear to have such a beautiful wife?"

"What kind of prince consort, he is just a lovely man!

It is said that Qin Xianglian is also a ghost cultivator, just like the transformed demons working on the docks near our house, they also have some cultivation. For Chen Shimei, they sacrificed a lot of cultivation. Otherwise, he would have become so smart, and he is also the Duke of Jie Yuan from Sichuan and Shu Road, and the top scholar?"

"You know all this?"

"Kaifeng Prefecture posted a briefing on the case for today's public trial yesterday. This is Mr. Bao's innovative move. You don't know? Oh by the way, I forgot that you are illiterate..."

"How can humans and ghosts combine? Can this be considered a wife?"

"Barring nonsense, they are ghost cultivators, that is, they are not ghosts who should enter the underworld. They are like demons who have the qualifications to live in the world. The briefing says that Qin Xianglian once used the heaven and earth as the medium and the sun and the moon as the evidence. This is no different from the official marriage between the eight-carrying sedan chair. There is a match and evidence, and the law of the Great Gen Dynasty is recognized.

Look, today I bet that Lord Bao could kill Chen Shimei, a careless man, in court. Do you believe it?"

There was a lot of discussion outside the court, and the princes in the hall also looked at Qin Xianglian and nodded slightly. This ghost cultivator was not tangled with resentment, but was like a virtuous wife of everyone. Chen Shimei abandoned such a wife who had sacrificed a lot for him, so she was really not a son.

After Qin Xianglian went to the court, she glanced at Chen Shimei at first, and then said, "Xiang Lian has met Lord Bao."

"Qin Xianglian, you don't need to be polite. Can you know the two people in this court?"

"Xianglian naturally recognizes that one is a ruthless and innocent love man, Xianglian's husband Chen Shimei; the other is a person who once pursued Xianglian and once told Xianglian that I should never marry Chen Shimei's master. Today, Xianglian knew that he was Eunuch Guo of the Eunuch..."

Now Qin Xianglian is about how she married Chen Shimei and how she spends her cultivation to help him pass the college entrance examination. She only hopes that after he has a trace of imperial energy after the top scorer in high school, he will make up for his lost cultivation. From then on, the husband and wife will follow him and have been in love for a hundred years.

As a result, when he waited for the master who wanted to kill him, how could he be rescued by the righteous demon White Snake, and how could he argue with Bao Zheng?

It is true that every word is affectionate, every sentence is filled with tears. None of the adults present is a human spirit. Just by listening to it, you will know that what Qin Xianglian said is not false, so it must have been not intentionally framed by Chen Shimei.

Bao Zheng nodded slightly and ordered someone to take Qin Xianglian out of the court. Instead of interrogating Chen Shimei and Guo Huai, he brought Cheng and Xie two eunuchs to the court. The two eunuchs came up and saw, "What a guy! The prince consort and general manager Guo in the dynasty have both become suspects? Kaifeng Mansion is so terrible!

He was not even using Bao Zheng to punish him. He immediately rushed to the top to tell how Guo Huai was injured and how he transferred some of his injuries to himself using the "Li De Tao Zou" method of the Wu family, causing the two to almost fall from the fourth level to the fifth level. For this reason, he also promised that they would explain the wealth and countless cultivation resources in the future.

"Well, let's go down. The two of you are proof today, not only will you not be wrong, but you will be a meritorious. I will report to the officials later to allocate a batch of cultivation resources for the two."

Bao Zhenghui withdrew the two eunuchs who had thanked each other and picked up a silk book from the case.

"The person who seriously injured you and saved Qin Xianglian was the Qingcheng righteous demon Bai Su. The local people respected her and said, "White Lady", which is also considered an old acquaintance of my official.

The Japanese official saw Qin Xianglian in Bai Su and specially collected a trace of Bai Su's magic power. Now, after the Kaifeng Prefecture Demon Slaying Room, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, it has been proved that Guo Huai's injury was caused by Bai Su's rescue.

Eunuch Tong, you are Guo Huai’s boss. Now that you are a member of the Eunuch Department involved in the case, you will see the results of this inspection first.”

"That's what it should be!"

Tong successfully took the silk book and read it carefully several times, nodded and said, "This book proves correct."

Bao Zheng received the documentary certificate and threw it to Guo Huai and said, "Guo Huai, now the Baisu oral certificate has been submitted to Kaifeng Prefecture, and Cheng and Xie and the other ones are used as evidence. What else do you have to say?

This official would like to remind you that from today on, Kaifeng Prefecture will implement the eight-character principle of our official - "Frankly confess and be lenient, and resist strictly!"

You were an accomplice, and you wanted to kill Qin Xianglian for failure, and you would not die! But if you blindly protect Chen Shimei, your crime would be even more serious. You are a mere fifth-rank eunuch, and this official can be killed in court!

There is only one chance, you have to think clearly!”

Guo Huai looked at Chen Shimei, then at the princes and ministers in Bao Zhenghe, and sighed: "Mr. Prince Consort, this is no wonder our family."

Lord Bao, I am guilty, I will take it all..."
