I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 855: 1 Collecting Evidence and Signing

At this moment, Wang was extremely frightened.

She hoped that her eldest daughter Zhang Miaoying could help her justify what she had just said and defend herself.

However, what she saw was her eldest daughter staring blankly at her.

Wonderful shadow... Wonderful shadow...

You quickly... quickly explain to Princess Chengxian, Mother... Mother... just said... no... that's not what I meant!

Mother didn't mean to falsely accuse me, nor did she... Oh, it's not just me, your sister Miaotong is the same, Miaotong also, she didn't ignore the emperor, didn't ignore the emperor's... the emperor's imperial edict and imperial power, nor... didn't disrespect the emperor...

You...you should quickly explain to Leng...no...it should be Princess Chengxian, you should quickly explain to Princess Chengxian!"

Wang was anxious and scared, and her speech was almost incoherent!

She just wanted to defend herself desperately...

If the words she had just said could return to her mouth, even if they were sharp thorns, she would be willing to swallow them alive!

Zhang Miaoying looked at her panicked mother, feeling anxious, angry, and desperate...

Zhang Miaoying turned around, forcing a few smiles onto her face, and was about to speak to Leng Rongyue...

Leng Rongyue pretended not to notice and turned around, ordering the guards behind him: "The prefect wants to question the case here. Quickly fetch two tables and some chairs, as well as two sets of four treasures for the study!"

"Yes, Princess!"

Several guards and servants moved quickly, bringing out two rectangular tables and setting them up on one side;

Behind the front desk was a large chair, which was prepared for Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

There were two chairs placed behind the side table, which were reserved for Xue Zhubu and Zhou Shiye.

There are five more chairs on the other side.

Four chairs were placed side by side, belonging to Leng Rongyue, Xiao Jingyu, and brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu;

A chair was placed a little further away, naturally it was for Zhang Miaoying. At least for now, Zhang Miaoying was still Princess Yi!

Seeing that the tables and chairs were already set, the eldest son Fu Mingjun gestured towards the Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zheng Tong, "Your Excellency, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Master Fu!

Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yu!

Thank you, Princess Chengxian!

"I'll take a seat!"

Zheng Tong bowed, walked to the front desk and sat down, and several yamen runners who followed him stood on both sides of the desk.

Xue Zhubu and Zhou Shiye also went to sit behind the table on the side. One of them arranged the papers while the other began to grind the ink.

"Everyone, sit down!

"Yue'er must be tired, please sit down and take a rest!"

Xiao Jingyu spoke softly, and together with the brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu, he accompanied Leng Rongyue to a chair nearby.

Leng Rongyue then looked at Zhang Miaoying who was standing there awkwardly, and raised her hand slightly to signal, "Princess Yi, please take a seat too!"

Zhang Miaoying looked at the solitary chair, then at her mother slumped on the ground, and her sister Zhang Miaotong, who was sprawled on the ground over there, not knowing whether she was awake or had fainted again. Finally, she looked back at the lonely chair...

Zhang Miaoying thought, this chair is probably the last bit of dignity for her as Princess Yi?

Moving her heavy legs, Zhang Miaoying walked over and sat on the chair reserved for her.

"Princess Rongyue..."

Zhang Miaoying summoned Leng Rongyue, wanting to say something more...

Leng Rongyue simply turned her head slightly and replied calmly, "Princess Yi, although this is not the Shuntian Prefecture government office, the prefect is here, so this is the court.

The prefect is sitting up there, and there are so many people watching, so let's not talk about irrelevant gossip for now!"

Irrelevant gossip!

Leng Rongyue shut Zhang Miaoying's mouth with these few words.

Now this is the court.

The one on trial was his own sister... No, not just his own sister, but also his own mother.

The prefect is about to start the trial, and what I, Princess Yi, say is... all irrelevant gossip!

Zhang Miaoying also knew that if she said anything more, she would only be asking for trouble, so she had no choice but to shut her mouth.

Mr. Zhou helped Xue Zhubu prepare the desk, and then he walked to the side of the prefect Zheng Tong and stood there, just like when he was interrogating a case in the yamen.

Qingyi stepped forward and handed the handwritten letter written by Zhang Miaotong to Leng Rongyue to Mr. Zhou, who was standing next to the prefect Zheng Tong, as evidence in court.

Master Zhou took it and passed it to Zheng Tong.

Zheng Tong read it carefully, confirmed that it was correct, and put it together with Leng Rongyue's petition.

Because Leng Rongyue's decision to sue Wang was a sudden one, the statement just now was just a verbal one.

Over there, Xue Zhubu had already taken notes based on Leng Rongyue's oral statement.

At this time, Xue Zhubu stood up, holding the complaint record and walked to Leng Rongyue, bowing and saying, "Princess, this is the complaint you just made against Wang Shi. I have written it down. Please take a look!"

"Thank you!"

Leng Rongyue took it and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "Master Xue has a good memory, not a single word is wrong, Chengxian admires it!"

"The princess has come over!"

Xue Zhubu handed the record to Zheng Tong and returned to the desk to prepare to record the confession.

Leng Rongyue's first lawsuit had Zhang Miaotong's handwritten letter as physical evidence, and several people at the scene as witnesses. All that was left was Zhang Miaotong's signature to finalize the case.

Chief Constable Cheng Xuan and Lawyer Zhou each took a pen and paper and went to collect evidence separately.

Mr. Zhou recorded the witness testimony smoothly;

Chief Constable Cheng Xuan came up to Zhang Miaotong, handed her a pen and a petition, and sternly shouted, "Criminal Zhang Miaotong, sign your name!"
