Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Chapter 301 Gao Changzuo's Sophistry

The people did not expect that Lord Du would be so helpful this time. The case was continued to be heard the next afternoon, and they all came to watch.

The reason for choosing the afternoon was because Ji Deyan had specified the time, and he would then mingle with the crowd and watch Lord Du try the case fairly, impartially and openly.

The six words "fair, just and open" made Lord Du dare not have any ulterior motives, because when Ji De sent the evidence over, Ji De's letter was stabbed with a dagger, right at the head of his bed.

Oh my, no matter how greedy he is, he still cherishes his life!

With Ji De's elusive skills, would it be as easy to kill him as to crush an ant?

Lord Du, who had intended to use this case to re-establish his authority and build up his image, did not dare to be negligent and obediently opened the court for trial at the time specified by Ji De.

Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye, who had already woken up, had time to come and watch this time. In addition to the couple, there were also Hua Muyu and his friends.

Mingyang heard rumors outside yesterday and learned that the verdict would be announced today. He couldn't help but be curious and wanted to go out to watch the fun.

How could her parents let her wander around casually? She was already a grown-up girl, and the engagement party was being prepared. They couldn't let this girl run around anymore.

Helplessly, Ming Yang could only ask for help from his dear fiancé Hua Muchin. Hua Muchin received the "help" note from Xiao Qingmei and went to Ming Mansion to pick her up early.

If it were other parents in the city, some would care about their reputation and would never let their daughters go out. Even if the other party is their daughter's fiancé, they still have to observe the etiquette.

Some families' future sons-in-law are out of their reach, and they would like to send their daughters to the man directly for fear of angering him.

Mingyang's parents belong to the third category. Their daughter is too noisy, and they cannot leave her alone, lest she cause a noise and spread bad rumors, which will tarnish the reputation of the Ming and Hua families.

But if your future son-in-law takes your daughter out and something happens, he will have to bear the consequences himself, including his reputation. Anyway, it happened in front of you, so you know what it's like. The most important thing is that once you let your daughter go out, only your future son-in-law can control her a little.

Therefore, as soon as Hua Muxin took action, Ming's parents readily agreed.

"Bang!" Magistrate Du slammed the gavel and the court was adjourned.

In addition to yesterday's plaintiff and the certification of innocence, the defendant and his accomplices were dragged out directly from the prison. Although Master Gao was a suspect, he was still exempted from the kneeling ceremony because of his achievements, and he stood out in the court.

However, the case being heard today is about the money that the Liu family was defrauded of, and whether Chen Xiaoxiao's ex-husband, who sacrificed himself for love and took responsibility for the crime, can be given a lighter sentence.

Chen Xiaoxiao confessed to the crime yesterday, but she refused to admit that she was the mastermind. She said that the mastermind was someone else, and that person was the eldest son of the Gao family.

The crimes committed by the mastermind and the accomplice are different, so Magistrate Du must investigate impartially and give justice to the Liu family.

Yesterday, Master Gao refused to admit that he was the mastermind. Chen Xiaoxiao claimed to have evidence, but the evidence was taken away by Ji De. However, what they didn't know was that Ji De delivered the evidence to Magistrate Du's bedside last night.

Master Gao relied on his irreplaceable status in the Gao family and refused to plead guilty, thinking that his family would not give up on him.

But that was just his thought yesterday. When he arrived at the lobby today, he looked at the crowd of onlookers and saw that there was actually a servant watching outside.

His father or the housekeeper did not show up, and the servant's expression was the same as that of the people around him, he stretched his neck and waited for the result, and his heart suddenly became anxious.

"Bang!" The gavel rang out, and Magistrate Du's serious voice came out: "Gao Changzuo, the evidence is irrefutable, don't try to quibble!"

Magistrate Du has already displayed the evidence sent by Ji De, letters after letters, and the contents of the letters are just as Chen Xiaoxiao said, the scheme was all his.

Master Gao had already recognized the book that his master used to compare handwriting as the book in his study that he had recently annotated. When he thought of the servant in the crowd, he closed his eyes deeply.

Since his grandfather doesn't intend to save him, he can only save himself. He must not admit to this crime!

"Your Excellency, I wrote the plan, but it was Chen who took the initiative to ask me for the idea. I was just a counselor, not the mastermind."

After hearing this, Magistrate Du was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at his colleagues, including the Tongzhi. Seeing them nodding one after another, his face darkened. There was nothing wrong with this logic and he could not refute it.

Seeing this, Hua Muyu asked Xin Ye in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, is this okay?"

Xin Ye said "hmm" and replied in a low voice: "From the content of the letter, it is indeed Chen who took the lead. However, as a scholar, he did what he knew was wrong and did not persuade Chen. Instead, he helped the tyrant. The prefect can punish him for breaking the law knowingly, which is a more serious crime."

It’s just… looking at the prefect’s appearance, his rhythm is disrupted. He probably didn’t expect it to be like this. We really can’t expect Prefect Du to show his magical powers.

"Then...didn't it mean that he managed to take advantage of the loophole and escape?" Hua Muyu frowned tightly, very dissatisfied with the result.

Xin Ye curled his lips and looked meaningfully at Gao Changzuo's back in the hall: "He worked hard for more than 20 years and finally passed the examination. The spring examination is coming soon. He could have made another step forward and become a superior person. However, because of a woman, his future was completely ruined. I'm sure he will regret hooking up with Chen every day in the future.

The whole of Shacheng knows what kind of official the Du prefect above him is. Mr. Gao clearly has the ability to rescue him and give him the opportunity to continue to participate in the Spring Examination, but he is unmoved. How can he not be resentful? Not hate him? "

Hua Muyu's pupils widened in shock. "No way? How dare he blame everyone else for all this? It was obviously because of his own greed that he suffered this disaster."

Lu Qiao said quietly, "Because only by blaming others can he feel better. Only when he has someone to hate, will he have the motivation to stand up and take revenge on those who hurt him."

"Tsk, there's something seriously wrong with your brain." Hua Muyu stared at the back of Gao Changzuo's head.

Sure enough, after some discussion, Governor Du and others concluded that Gao Changzuo's statement was reasonable, and those letters indirectly confirmed that Chen Xiaoxiao was the mastermind.

When Chen Xiaoxiao learned that the letter she had finally been waiting for, which she thought would implicate Gao Changzuo, had become evidence proving his innocence, she could no longer maintain her sanity. She jumped up, threw Gao Changzuo to the ground, and pinched his neck fiercely, sneering.

"Gao Changzuo, if I can't survive, you can't survive either!"

The people present were caught off guard by her action, and when they saw her ferocious expression like a devil, they were so scared that they were stunned for a moment and did not go over to pull the person away immediately.
