Chapter 530: Bestie Assists and Convicts Lucy Liu
Blood spurted out, and at that moment, she saw Fu Minghe, who was originally unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes.
A pair of eyes as big as copper bells were filled with disbelief and anger.
He almost used up the last bit of strength in his body and raised his hand to point at her. It was this scene that was caught by Fu Qingrong who arrived in time.
Lucy Liu was almost speechless and had no idea how to defend herself.
Seeing that she was speechless, Fu Qingrong bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng, speaking earnestly and heartbrokenly.
"Master Fang! This woman is vicious and cruel. She dared to kill people in broad daylight. Master Fang, please sentence her to death and pay for my brother's life!"
The case sounded relatively clear, and Fang Zheng wanted to close it quickly, so he slammed the gavel hard.
"Liu Yuling, the criminal in this hall, do you plead guilty to the murder of Mr. Fu San?!"
Liu Yuling knew that there was no hope for Fu Qingrong to beg her, and she didn't want to beg anymore. She just kowtowed to Fang Zheng and cried out that she was wronged!
"Sir, I really didn't kill anyone! I have admired the Third Young Master since I was a child, and my close friends all know this! They can testify for me!"
"My little girl loves the Third Young Master, so how could I possibly hurt him? This doesn't make sense!"
"I was framed! Someone knocked me out, killed the Third Young Master, and then placed me next to his body to create the illusion that I was the one who committed the murder!"
Fang Zheng snorted coldly, "You said you were framed. Then tell me, who wanted to frame you?"
"me……"
Lucy Liu was speechless because she didn't know who wanted to frame her like this.
"You still want to quibble!!" Fu Qingrong became more and more angry as she listened, and she wanted to slap her again!
"You said you loved Ming He and wouldn't hurt him, but that day in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, when you learned Ming He was going to buy a dancer to bring back to the mansion, why did you make such a scene in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, embarrassing him?"
In a fit of rage, he accidentally killed someone!
"Do you really think Ming He would be interested in you?" She sneered, "You're just a plaything for me to vent my lust. What qualifications do you have to make a scene with my brother?!"
At this point, Fu Qingrong's eyes flashed, "I see. Did you find out that Ming He was released from prison and went to Xiaoxiang Tower again? Did you think he was going to see the dancer Jin Die, so you got angry and killed him in a rage?!"
Put it this way, it all seems to make sense: the murder weapon, the motive for the murder, the place of the murder, everything makes sense if explained this way!
Lucy Liu shook her head frantically, "I, I didn't!"
She was just having dinner with Zhang Xuehan and the others in the restaurant, and she also asked Zhang Xuehan to help her find a way to rescue Fu Minghe.
"Yes, Xuehan! My lord, please invite Miss Zhang Xuehan from the family of Mr. Zhang, the Minister of Revenue, and Miss Chen Wan'er from the family of the Vice Minister of Revenue. They can testify for me!"
Although Fang Zheng didn't want to cause trouble, with so many people watching outside, he couldn't go too far, so he called Zhang Xuehan and Chen Wan'er over.
However, the two women's remarks only confirmed Lucy Liu's guilt.
"Sir, Yuling has indeed been in love with the Third Young Master for a long time. At the Spring Breeze Banquet a few days ago, Yuling almost got to know the Third Young Master and quickly won his favor."
"Later, Yuling told us that she would be the Third Young Master's legal wife and that their wedding would be taking place soon!"
"But a few days later, the Third Young Master met a dancer at Xiaoxiang Tower and became obsessed with her all day. Yuling was very angry and complained to us several times, even saying she wanted to talk to the Third Young Master!"
"Later, the Third Young Master got into a conflict with someone and was summoned to the Dali Temple. The matter was then dropped."
"Today we were having dinner at the restaurant. Halfway through, a servant came to tell us that the Third Young Master had been acquitted! Yuling was very happy and said hello to us before leaving."
When Chen Wan'er said this, Zhang Xuehan also said, "Sir, what Wan'er said is all the information Xuehan knows!"
The more Lucy Liu listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Why did she feel like they were not here to help her?
"Wan'er, Xuehan, shouldn't you tell the adults that I love the Third Young Master very much? Why are you saying such things?"
Zhang Xuehan looked at her innocently, "But Yuling, you did tell us that the Third Young Master took your body but didn't take responsibility, and even went to find a dancer. You can't swallow this!"
Chen Wan'er also echoed, "Xue Han is right!"
"Lucy Liu, I really didn't expect you to be so vicious!"
"I thought you were just saying those words out of anger, but I didn't expect you to actually do such a vicious thing!"
"You're so scary! Xuehan and I were so blind to think of you as a close friend!"
Chen Wan'er's pretty face was full of anger and regret, causing the people watching outside to point at Liu Yuling and curse her.
"So she's a lowly bastard who's lost her virginity! No wonder she wants to kill the Third Young Master. Is she just mad out of shame?!"
"She's the daughter of Liu Zhiheng, the Minister of Works. How shameless!"
Lucy Liu suddenly felt the malice of the whole world!
She looked at her two former best friends in disbelief, unable to believe that these were the words they could say!
Aren't they good friends? Don't they share the same joys and sorrows?
Why did they become the hands that pushed her into the abyss?
"Snapped"
The gavel slammed hard, and under the plaque that read "A Clear Mirror Hangs High", Fang Zheng's face was filled with solemnity.
"The prisoner, Liu Yuling, was driven by love and hatred and brutally murdered Fu Minghe, the third son of the Left Prime Minister. The evidence is both human and material, and the proof is irrefutable!"
"Lucy Liu, do you plead guilty?!"
Lucy Liu shook her head and shouted, "I'm not guilty! I didn't kill anyone! I was wrongly accused!!"
"You still haven't confessed! It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin!"
"Somebody come!"
"I'll punish you severely! I don't believe a woman like you can hold out this long!"
Soon, Lucy Liu was beaten with a stick.
Screams, one after another, echoed throughout the lobby and front yard of the Ministry of Justice, like the wails of evil spirits.
"what!!"
"Chen Wan'er!"
"Zhang Xuehan!"
"You're going to hell!"
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!!"
The heart-wrenching screams made Chen Wan'er and Zhang Xuehan's faces even paler, and they almost dared not look at her directly.
Fu Qingrong looked at her with a sneer, a sense of pleasure of revenge surging and raging on his face.
In the end, Lucy Liu could not bear the torture and confessed her guilt.
Fang Zheng struck while the iron was hot, quickly convicted the person, and compiled the case into a memorial, which he reported to the emperor.
Because the deceased was the third son of the Left Prime Minister Fu Ying, the emperor sympathized with Fu Ying's grief over the loss of his son and quickly approved a date for his execution.
