Chapter 453
Hu Mingke had already made up his mind, and this interrogation was just a formality.
“Li Jinzhu, Zhao Aman, you and your wife conspired to kill someone, and yet you still intend to shirk your responsibility even now, so your crime is aggravated. This official will sentence the two of you to beheading.” Hu Mingke directly sentenced the case.
Li Jinzhu and Zhao Aman collapsed in disbelief, and both shouted in unison. “This is injustice, sir, this commoner is wrongfully accused!”
Onlookers outside the court cheered loudly.Bang bang!
Qin Jiu’s heart was beating wildly at this moment, it seemed as if her heart did not belong to her.
She raised her hand and covered her heart, then suddenly crossed the high threshold and entered the Jingzhao court hall.
The gazes of those onlookers naturally turned toward Qin Jiu, and someone kindly called out, “Miss…”
This was Jingzhao’s court hall, and ordinary people could only watch outside at most and were not allowed to enter casually; otherwise, they would be punished by the magistrate for making noise in court and may even get a beating.
However, Qin Jiu continued to walk forward as if she had not heard anything, but the yamens mostly knew Qin Jiu, so they did not dare stop her. They allowed her to enter court until she reached Zhao Aman and Li Jinzhu.
“Er…ya.”Zhao Aman called out in a trembling voice, looking at the girl in front of her who was completely different from a year ago, her face turned pale.
Li Erya who used to be sallow, yellow, emaciated, was weak and incompetent; but now Qin Jiu was beautiful and charming, with a noble temperament like a bright moon in the sky, unattainable.
Zhao Aman could not help but think of Madam Wei, Qin Jiu looked at least 70% similar to Madam Wei.
Madam Wei has always been lenient towards others, and in the past, Li Erya has always been very filial to her…
“Erya,” Zhao Aman said eagerly as if she had grasped a piece of driftwood. “Help me, I have at least nurtured you for more than ten years…”
“Pak!”
A fierce slap interrupted Zhao Amman’s words:
There was a moment of silence in court.
Logically speaking, this was certainly against the rules; however, legal principles were nothing more than human relations. Hu Mingke silently thought to himself, that with the abuse of Li Jinzhu and Zhao Aman over the past few years, Qin Jiu just slapped them in the face which was already a cheap deal for her.
“Pak!”
Immediately after, there was a second slap hitting Li Jinzhu heavily on the face.
After these two slaps, Qin Jiu proudly raised her hand to Hu Mingke behind a public case. “Lord Hu, I apologize for my rudeness. I’ll make amends with the lord next time.”
“No need to apologize. Miss Qin is too polite.” Hu Mingke was even more polite.
Qin Jiu never looked at Li Jinzhu and Zhao Aman again, nor did she say a word to them after slapping them, she immediately strode away.
