Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Chapter 128 Beat to death

Because Qiao Xi was well prepared, Wang Junjie's case was decided right before the yamen.

Wang Junjie was sentenced to death by beheading after his crimes including intentional homicide, rape of women, bullying of civilians, etc. were verified one by one.

Wang Junjie was taken away by the yamen runners and imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison. During the interrogation, Old Lady Wang cried out for justice several times, disrupting the order of the court. The yamen runners blocked her mouth and only released the cloth from her mouth after the verdict was announced.

Old Lady Wang was so shocked and angry that her beloved grandson was going to be executed that she almost howled through the roof of the courtroom.

They either cried out for injustice or said that Qiao Xi was deliberately targeting the Wang family, or said that Gao Chengqian was unfair in judging the case. Occasionally, they would scold the Wang family's servants for being useless and not inviting Wang Junjie's parents over yet.

It was also amidst this scolding that Qiao Xi learned that Madam Wang had actually entered the palace today.

The Wang family is a small official of the sixth rank, and Mrs. Wang's family is not prominent. Today is not a festival, and there is no banquet in the palace. How did she get into the palace, and which noble in the palace favored her?

Is it related to the Zhou couple’s visit?

Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and thought deeply.

Gao Chengqian pressed his eyebrows and said, "Send Madam Wang back."

It was inevitable to offend the Wang family, and he didn't want anything to happen to Old Madam Wang again.

But unexpectedly, Madam Wang did not appreciate it. "I want to report the case, I want to report the case, I want to sue the Princess of Jiangbei for taking advantage of her power to bully others and beat me, an old woman."

"Does the old lady have any evidence?"

Gao Chengqian's eyebrows twitched slightly.

As far as he knew, it was Old Lady Wang who took action first, and then the people of the Princess of Northern Xinjiang carried her all the way to the Dali Temple safely.

If the situation continues, it will be even more disadvantageous to her. He hopes that Old Lady Wang can wake up.

Unfortunately, Madam Wang was never a smart person. She cried, "The pain all over my body is evidence that she tortured me privately. Arrest her."

She wanted to use Qiao Xi's crime to exchange for her grandson's life, so she had to prove the crime of assault.

"Perhaps it was she who instigated Zhou Taoxin to seduce my Junjie, and then, under the pretext of looking for someone, she broke into the mansion and injured someone.

She has a grudge against my Wang family and is deliberately trying to cut off my Wang family roots and take my life."

Qiao Xi stared at Old Madam Wang, wondering why an old lady from a sixth-rank mansion could be so confident.

"Master Gao, I have never hurt Madam Wang. I have witnesses to this."

The people who had gone with the Wang family earlier shouted, "We saw it clearly. She was trying to hit Princess Jiangbei, so Princess Jiangbei had her carried. She wasn't hurt at all."

The others nodded in agreement.

They did receive money from the Princess of Jiangbei, but that was not bribery, but rather hard work money from the Jiangbei Palace in asking them to tell the truth.

It's not illegal to tell the truth.

"These people were all bribed by you, and they will definitely speak for you after receiving your signal.

What's so great about you, an orphan? You're just relying on His Majesty's pity for you.

My son has been serving the court diligently and has been loyal to Your Majesty, never slacking off even a bit. Yet, my Wang family has been bullied by you to this extent.

Heaven is blind, allowing you, a wicked person, to run rampant, but I believe that His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine will definitely bring justice to my Wang family."

"I have only spoken objectively and have never lied to you. You keep saying that Lord Wang is loyal to the court.

But his son committed many crimes. Was Lord Wang unaware of what Wang Junjie was doing, or was he deliberately condoning it?

If he doesn't even know about the affairs of his family, it means that his ability as an official is questionable. If he knows but lets it go, how can he be called loyal to Your Majesty?

Do you think that the world ruled by His Majesty is allowing bullies like Wang Junjie to oppress the people at will?"

Old Lady Wang choked.

Of course the son knows what his grandson has done.

It's just that his son works for a noble man and has made many contributions, so what's wrong with indulging these talented people?

What's more, it was because those people made Junjie unhappy that Junjie took action.

However, no matter how stupid she was, she was not stupid enough to speak her mind in public.

He quickly turned the subject over and cried out, "Ouch, ouch, my body aches so much, my internal organs feel like they're about to break.

They are taking advantage of the fact that my son is on duty at the yamen and my daughter-in-law is not at home in the palace, so they come here to cause trouble and murder an old woman like me.

The Qiao family prides themselves on being a prominent family, but the daughter they gave birth to is such a person who only knows how to bully the elderly and harm the young. You'd better be careful or you will get your comeuppance.

Oh, God, please open your eyes and look again, and don’t let the evildoers run rampant in this world anymore..."

Even Gao Chengqian's expression changed when she said this.

This means that the entire Qiao family died in battle and was taken away by God, and now she is begging God to let Qiao Xi suffer retribution again.

Gao Chengqian didn't know Qiao Xi, but the Qiao family died to protect Dayou, and it really shouldn't be arranged like this by Old Lady Wang.

He was about to stop her when he heard Qiao Xi say, "Master Gao, after Old Madam Wang learned of my identity, she didn't even bow to me, but instead insulted me. According to the Dayou Law, what crime should she be charged with?"

Gao Chengqian's eyes narrowed, "According to the Dayou Law, he should be punished with thirty strokes of the cane."

A young person might be able to withstand thirty strokes of the board, but someone like Old Lady Wang would probably lose her life.

Is the Princess of Jiangbei trying to kill Old Madam Wang?

Is it just for the Zhou family’s affairs?

Or is it because of what I just said?

Or is there another reason why she is chasing after the Wang family today?

Elevation is uncertain.

But he knew very well that if Old Madam Wang died in the Dali Temple court today, Wang Yuan would definitely fight him to the death.

This was also the reason why he wanted to stop Old Lady Wang just now.

It's a pity it's too late.

Qiao Xi really wanted Old Madam Wang to die.

Old Lady Wang repeatedly mentioned that her daughter-in-law was in the palace, either to make Gao Chengqian wary, or to make her wary.

It can be seen that Old Lady Wang believes that the person behind the Wang family is superior to her and Gao Chengqian.

If Qiao Xi had not known that there was something unusual about Mrs. Qiao's death, she would not have been so eager to force out the person behind it.

But thinking of the scene before Mrs. Qiao's death, she decided to take Mrs. Wang's life to see what big banner Wang Yuan could raise.

Just because Old Lady Wang had just said that about her Qiao family and wanted to kill her, Qiao Xi would not feel the slightest bit of guilt.

From the information she received, Mrs. Wang was not much better than Wang Junjie, and her hands were also stained with many deaths.

The Qiao family members were loyal to the country, but their deaths remain unclear. And why is someone like Old Lady Wang still alive?

Wang Yuan is filial, and Old Lady Wang is his Achilles' heel. She is determined to touch his Achilles' heel today and force Wang Yuan to do something desperate.

She looked at the guards of the Jiangbei Palace and said, "Since there are laws to follow, then we must act according to the laws. Come, impose the punishment."

The ones who came forward were guards from the King's Palace in Northern Xinjiang.

Today she forced Gao Chengqian to sentence Wang Junjie. If she allowed Gao Chengqian to torture the old lady again, Gao Chengqian would probably hold a grudge against her.

Qiao Xi didn't want the Jiangbei Palace to have another enemy like Gao Chengqian.

The guards of the King's Palace in Jiangbei have all followed Su Heting to the battlefield. They are swift and decisive and show no mercy.

Madam Wang was pressed down on a bench. After just one blow, she was in so much pain that she couldn't help but utter, "You vicious woman! No wonder your Qiao family is extinct! This is your retribution. You're so evil, you'll get your retribution sooner or later. My son won't let you go..."

Bei Qiao and Xiao Man were furious when they heard this, but Qiao Xi looked calmly at the Zhou couple who were kneeling on the ground, remaining quiet the entire time but trembling when Old Lady Wang was beaten.

After a while, Old Lady Wang could no longer utter any curses, and she died before thirty strokes of the cane.

And Wang Yuan and his wife finally arrived.

The one who came with them was a eunuch from the palace. The emperor wanted her to enter the palace.
