Chapter 185: Ma Yuan's Trial in Front of Biluo Courtyard
It started snowing outside the window again. The air was cold and silent. The cold wind blew up, making people's faces hurt.
In the hall, loud cries were heard again, "Your Highness, this, this is not happening!"
"Whether it exists or not is not up to you to decide!"
Zhang Zhiyi spoke, a look of satisfaction on his face. He had thought that He Shu's sudden appearance would make all his plans for today go to waste, but he didn't expect that she had already made plans.
Yang You was about to speak, but Shu He interrupted him, "Of course, if we just talk, the general will definitely think that we have no evidence and are just making random guesses."
"How about this? Lieutenant General Nie has already brought Ma Yuan here. Why don't we hear what Ma Yuan has to say?"
Shu He clapped his hands, and Deputy General Nie, who was guarding outside, took quick action. The originally quiet front yard suddenly became lively.
Because, along with Ma Yuan came the people who were called from the city by Shu He's special order.
It was their first time entering this magnificent courtyard, and curiosity and amazement appeared on their faces.
"What's going on? How come the normally heavily guarded 'Biluoyuan' suddenly let us in?"
"Who lives in here?"
"So many people are here, what are you trying to do?"
"I don't know. Don't worry, let's take a look at the situation first."
……
As soon as the people rushed in, the sound of discussion never stopped.
Uncle Zhang and Lady Wang were assigned to take Xiao Yi'er to the backyard, where they played with the tiger cub and built a nest for it. This was also to prevent Xiao Yi'er from seeing or hearing any unpleasant sights or sounds.
At this time, Ma Yuan was tied up tightly, and the brocade clothes on his body had lost their original luster and smoothness due to the pressure of the rope. The wrinkled appearance looked very much like Ma Yuan's face at this time.
Lieutenant General Nie pulled the gag out of Ma Yuan's mouth. Before he could say a word, he heard the boy's furious voice.
"You bastards! How dare you arrest me? Do you know who I am?!"
"Are you all tired of living?!"
Yang You in the main hall was sweating profusely. It was not until he heard Ma Yuan's noisy voice that his heart finally settled down.
This guy actually got caught! What should I do?
He should know that this is King Dongli's courtyard, right?
You shouldn't talk nonsense, right?
Yang You was really scared. Considering that kid's character, he really couldn't guarantee anything!
No, he had to go and warn him! He couldn't let him talk nonsense!
"Sir, just listen here. After all, we are relatives, so you should avoid suspicion!"
Just as Yang You was about to move, Shu He spoke.
Zhang Zhiyi quickly stepped forward, holding the sword at his waist with his hand, as if saying, "If you take another step forward, I will make you bleed three feet!"
Fear appeared on Yang You's face, and he couldn't move forward at all.
Shu He stood up and asked Baili Moqing, "Your Highness, do you want to know what a 'child' who has 'played with hundreds of women' looks like?"
He looked at her and couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile on his face, "Of course I do."
This faint smile surprised Shu He a little.
Was this the first time he smiled at her, without any sarcasm or deep meaning?
Baili Moqing then looked at Yang You, his eyes piercing, "I'm also curious about how young General Yang's nephew is."
"King, lord..."
Yang You looked ashen and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Zhang Zhiyi again.
Zhenli pushed Baili Moqing to the pearwood table in front of the main hall. From that position, he could have a clear view of the situation in the front yard.
"Why are there so many people?"
Beiji, Zhenli, and Zhang Zhiyi came at the same time. They were really shocked to see the yard full of people.
Why such a big scene? Zhang Zhiyi began to doubt himself. He didn't seem to have ordered such a big scene, did he?
"After all, this concerns the vital interests of the people of Beisha City, so someone has to witness it, right?"
Shu He spoke with a sneer on his face, "Besides, Ma Yuan has harmed so many people, and the witnesses almost account for half of them."
After hearing this, the others realized that it was she who arranged it.
Before anyone could say a few words, Ma Yuan in the yard started shouting again.
"Hey! Can you hear me?!"
When the people in the yard saw the tied man turn around, the curiosity and confusion on their faces were instantly replaced by anger and fear.
"It's the bully Ma Yuan!"
"Why is he here?"
"He was actually kidnapped! This is so satisfying! After all these years, someone finally taught him a lesson!"
"This Ma Yuan is the nephew of the military officer. Who is the owner of this courtyard? How dare they even kidnap him? Don't you know his identity?"
Among the crowd were those who were curious, those who were happy, and those who were worried.
Someone shouted to Lieutenant General Nie, "Brother, that man is a relative of the military officer. You can't offend him!"
"Yes, little brother, this Mr. Ma has always been domineering. If he is not satisfied, he will ask the military officer to arrest people and make you pay. He will make you bankrupt! You should let him go quickly and apologize to him!"
Some kind-hearted people spoke out to remind them.
Before Lieutenant General Nie could say anything, the admonitions made the bound Ma Yuan even more arrogant.
"Did you hear that? My uncle is the recorder and military officer of Beisha City! He's the king of Beisha City! Even the governor has to bow and scrape to my uncle. How dare you, a bunch of people, kidnap me!"
"I'm warning you! Release me immediately! Otherwise, I'll have my uncle raid your house!"
"If you don't want your men to work in the iron mines and your women to work in brothels, you'd better kowtow to me and apologize!"
Ma Yuan's words not only made the soldiers like Lieutenant General Nie look displeased, but also filled the hearts of the people who had been oppressed for a long time with fear. None of them dared to look up at him, and were even afraid that their faces would be seen by Ma Yuan, and they would then be retaliated against.
Some people were afraid and wanted to leave quietly. Ordinary people like them dared not wade into this muddy water!
At this time, Shu He walked out and stopped them, "Everyone, brothers and sisters, uncles, please stay."
The woman's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.
When the people who were about to escape heard the sound, they stopped and looked over curiously.
"Who is this woman? What does she want to do?"
The crowd looked at the woman in a light blue dress with an elegant and tranquil temperament, and they were puzzled.
"No matter who she is, as a woman, she has offended Ma Yuan and General Yang, so she is doomed to suffer a disastrous end!"
Shu He also heard these discussions, but she didn't take them to heart. She just explained, "You may not know where this is? Who lives here? And why is there such a scene today?"
"How about we let the Deputy General Nie in front of you give everyone a brief explanation?"
Shu He looked at Deputy General Nie and nodded slightly to him.
Lieutenant General Nie was wearing his everyday military cotton clothes. Although he was not wearing armor, his military temperament and majesty were still very obvious.
He stepped forward and bowed to the people. "I am Nie Ziming, deputy commander under General Zhang, serving in the Beisha City garrison. I was out on duty today when I came across Ma Yuan robbing a woman on the street. I couldn't bear to see him, so I tied him up."
"The deputy commander of the garrison! Oh my god! Those are the garrison commanders who are protecting Beisha City and fighting against the Beidi!"
