A piece of Japanese incense

Chapter 108 Sophistry

Bai Xun's eyes suddenly opened and he looked around involuntarily. His eyes were empty and his mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't make any sound.

The man surnamed Bai stepped forward and whispered in her ear.

"Bai Xuan! Why don't you kneel down?" The cousin slammed the gavel and asked sternly.

"I was wondering who it was. Isn't this the top scholar? We meet again!" Bai Xun casually glanced at the crowd around him, took the teacup casually, took a sip of tea, and spit the mouthwash to the side, splashing on Xiao Zhu who was standing on the side.

Xiao Zhu reluctantly took two steps to the side, remaining silent.

"Hmph! You bitch! How dare you come and sue me!" Bai Xuan staggered and wanted to pounce on Xiao Zhu.

Pei Du's fingers quickly wrapped around Bai Yan's wrist like a snake, and then twisted it, using the opponent's strength to counter his action, causing Bai Yan to lose balance instantly and kneel on one leg on the ground.

He then approached the Bai man with amazing agility, and with his hands like a hunting cheetah, he accurately locked his elbow joint, then applied pressure, causing him to kneel on the ground.

"You!" Bai Xun suddenly raised his head and tried to break free. Pei Du kicked his half-kneeling leg, causing Bai Xun's knee to touch the cold stone slab firmly, making a dull sound.

Bai Xun screamed in pain, and his uncle slammed the gavel again. Pei Du looked sinister, and his deep black eyes stared at the bailiffs heavily.

The yamen runners standing on both sides could no longer hold back and shouted in low voices: "Powerful... mighty...", poking the ground with the water and fire sticks in their hands. The atmosphere was majestic, solemn and terrifying.

Bai Xuan was probably a man who looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside. Seeing this situation, he was afraid of suffering physical pain again, so he knelt down reluctantly with no choice.

"Huang Shuzhu, look carefully, is this person in front of you the one you want to sue?" The uncle looked at Xiaozhu.

"My Lord, I would recognize this villain even if he turned into ashes! It was him who killed my grandfather's family of four!"

"You're talking nonsense! How can you see that I was the one who killed him? I think you're tired of living!" Bai Xun turned his head and rolled his eyes, staring at Xiao Zhu fiercely, trying to grab her hand.

Pei Du grabbed Bai Yan by the collar in an instant, then turned around quickly and threw Bai Yan heavily to the ground, warning him coldly: "Don't move!"

"If you dare to act arrogantly in court again, don't blame me for using severe punishment!"

Bai Xun broke free from Pei Du's restraint and knelt down.

"I'm asking you, is it true what is said in this petition, that on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, you broke into the Huang Mansion, kidnapped Huang Shuzhu, and killed four members of the Huang family?" the cousin asked in great sorrow.

"That day, I did go to Huang's house, but that was an agreement between her and me. Her family opposed our marriage, so she decided to elope with me. I did take some action during the family dispute, but they fell on their own and I left afterwards. What does it have to do with me!?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu's face changed drastically: "You are lying! When did I make an agreement with you?"

"You lived happily in my house and even gave birth to my children..."

"Shut up! When did I ..."

My uncle sternly rebuked him: "Bai Yan! Things have come to this point, and you are still shameless!"

"My lord, she insisted on getting close to me, and I was helpless! She even asked me to bear a child for her. I have medicine to protect the pregnancy at home. If you don't believe me, you can go and check it out!"

"According to what you said, you only had a dispute with the Huang family father and son?"

Bai Xuan puffed out his chest and raised his head, saying without hesitation: "That's right!"

"But the wounds on the body are surprisingly consistent with those on your dagger. How do you explain it?"

"Dagger? Where does the dagger come from?" A yamen runner presented a blood-stained dagger into the hall.

A bailiff presented a bloody dagger into the hall.
