God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Chapter 292 Confrontation in Court

As soon as Lu Tianyu and Qu Pu Tou left, Liang Yu came to the Lu Mansion with gifts. Lu Tingyan was anxiously preparing to go to the government office, and she happened to meet Liang Yu at the door.

Liang Yu saw that Lu Tingyan looked flustered, and asked hurriedly, "Miss Lu, where are you going in such a hurry?"

When Lu Tingyan saw that it was Liang Yu, her eyes turned red and she cried, "Brother Liang Yu, he was taken away by the government. I was just about to go to the government to check on him."

When Liang Yu heard this, his expression froze and he said, "Miss Lu, don't worry, I'll go with you." After that, he ordered his men to deliver the gifts to the mansion, and then went to the yamen with Lu Tingyan.

The two of them jogged all the way and soon arrived at the yamen.

As soon as they reached the door, they heard the sound of a gavel banging from inside. They hurried in and saw that the court was in session. Prince Wang was carried in a sedan chair by the servants of their mansion.

Prince Wang was lying in the sedan chair, whimpering and moaning, "My Lord County Magistrate, you have to help me. Lu Tianyu was really cruel. He beat me so hard that I am covered in wounds. Ouch..."

The county magistrate looked at Lu Tianyu seriously and asked, "Lu Tianyu, do you admit your guilt?"

Lu Tianyu held his head high and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Sir, I am innocent. It was this young master Wang who brought people to provoke trouble. I only fought back in self-defense. And the young master Wang was fine at the time and was not injured."

When Prince Wang heard this, he immediately started yelling, "You're talking nonsense! It's obviously you who are jealous of me and are deliberately picking a fight with me."

Lu Tingyan couldn't help but yelled in the hall: "My Lord, what my elder brother said is true. It was Prince Wang who bullied others first."

Prince Wang glared at Lu Tingyan and said to the county magistrate, "Sir, don't listen to this little girl's nonsense."

Liang Yu took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master Xiao, I can testify that Lu Tianyu is usually an upright and kind person, and would never hit anyone for no reason."

Prince Wang snorted coldly: "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to testify?"

Liang Yu said slowly, "Master Wang, you should be conscientious and make fair judgments on right and wrong."

At this time, Prince Wang's servant also chimed in: "It was Lu Tianyu who started it. Our Prince has always been well-behaved."

Lu Tianyu glared at them and said, "Don't slander me. Everyone saw the situation clearly."

The county magistrate banged the gavel again and shouted, "Be quiet!"

The hall suddenly fell silent.

The county magistrate looked down expressionlessly and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone has their own story, let's call the witnesses to the court."

After a while, several witnesses were brought up.

Witness A pointed at Lu Tianyu and said with certainty, "I saw with my own eyes that Lu Tianyu beat up Prince Wang."

Witness B also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Lu Tianyu was very ruthless."

Lu Tianyu sneered and said loudly: "Justice is in the hearts of the people."

Lu Tingyan looked at the county magistrate anxiously and shouted, "Sir, they are framing my elder brother. You must not believe what they say!"

When Xiao Yi heard that Lu Tianyu was framed, he rushed to the court and observed the situation from the side, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

The county magistrate was unable to make a judgement for a moment and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Xiao Yi stood up and said, "Father, I have something to say."

The county magistrate asked, "What's the matter?"

Liang Yu cupped his hands and said, "There must be something fishy about this matter. I have been observing from the sidelines, and the words of these witnesses are evasive, so there must be something hidden."

Prince Wang shouted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. Even if you are the son of the county magistrate, you cannot disrupt the court."

Xiao Yi ignored Prince Wang and continued, "Father, why not interrogate him again? You will definitely be able to find the flaws."

The yamen runner Qu also said: "When the housekeeper of the palace reported the case, we sent people to investigate, and the people replied that it was also Prince Wang who surrounded Scholar Lu."
