Not only did the three courts need to hold a joint trial, but the commander of the Black Kylin Guard also came to the scene in person to listen.

Xie Xiu, Tu Jiaojiao and others, as victims and witnesses, also need to be present.

On the day of the three-court trial, the eldest princess also brought Situ Yuan and Xie Ying to listen.

Because of their special identities, a small space was separated from the three people by a screen.

There is also an exquisite chaise longue inside.

The eldest princess took Situ Yuan to sit on the chaise longue and let Xie Ying lean on Situ Yuan's arms.

Xie Ying is more than three months old, but she is still unable to sit or stand on her own. She not only needs to lean on something, but also needs someone to support her.

Because Situ Yuan's health has been getting better with her care these days, the eldest princess is not afraid of tiring her son out. Instead, she is very happy for Xie Ying, the little lucky star, to be closer to Situ Yuan.

If the children were not too young and Situ Yuan was not sickly, she would have wanted to arrange a marriage for the two children so that Xie Ying could have a better life for her son.

Xie Ying leaned in Situ Yuan's arms. Since she had someone to support her, she didn't have to worry about falling. She just kept looking around.

He also tried hard to prick up his ears and eavesdrop openly.

After waiting for a while, the trial finally began.

Unfortunately, the process was a bit boring.

At first, Xu Maochun and others did not admit to colluding with bandits to murder Xie Xiu, nor did they admit to killing Luo and Sun Qingqing and putting the blame on Xie Xiu.

After a series of interrogations and with evidence presented one after another, he finally admitted, "Yes, I did it."

The Minister of Justice asked, "Why did you kill Xie Xiu? He had been stranded in Tujia Village eleven years ago and had lived there ever since. He should have had no grudge against you. Why did you insist on killing him?"

You even came all the way from the capital, even colluding with bandits, just to kill him? Not only did you let the bandits kill him, you also killed two decent women, hoping to frame Xie Xiu.

Why did you do this? Who ordered you to do this?"

Xu Maochun knelt in the hall, lowered his eyes, and said expressionlessly, "No one ordered me to do that. I rushed from the capital to Biyang County to kill him. It was simply because it was far away from the capital, so it was convenient for me to do it."

The Dali Temple official frowned and asked, "Since no one ordered you to do so, why did you insist on killing him?"

Xu Maochun said, "Because he was injured and lost his memory, I was the one who did it. I was worried that after he returned to the capital, he would remember what happened and take revenge on me, so I wanted to take the initiative and get rid of him before he could regain his memory!"

The Left Censor-in-Chief glanced at him and said calmly, "Your explanation is somewhat untenable. If you were simply worried that Xie Xiu would retaliate against you after regaining his memory, why did you choose to attack him when he was entering the capital with his family? And why did you kill two women with the intention of framing them?

Wouldn't it be better to just find an opportunity and kill Xie Xiu alone? This would not only keep the secret, but also avoid causing too much of a sensation and would be easier to do.

Moreover, eleven years ago, Xie Xiu was sixteen and you were only fourteen. What deep hatred did you have between you that made you want to kill him at such a young age?"

Xu Maochun suddenly looked at Xie Xiu with a twisted and ferocious smile: "Because I hate him! The fan I had my eye on back then actually fell for Xie Xiu!

I worked hard to save money to support her, but she told me that if I could have a night with Xie Xiu, she would be willing to give him money!

Xie Xiu has never done anything for that bitch, but that bitch still can't forget him. How can I not hate him?

At that time, I wanted to destroy Xie Xiu's face, and then let the fan leader see his ruined appearance with her own eyes, and see if she would still like Xie Xiu!

Unfortunately, I was too young at the time and was not ruthless enough. Not only did I fail to destroy Xie Xiu's appearance, but I also let him see my face.

In a panic, I kicked him into the fast-flowing river, causing him to be swept away. I then searched along the river, hoping to find his body.
