Chapter 72 Public Trial: The Thin Line of Life and Death 1

 Could it be that man in black? Will he save me?

There was a loud bang, and the door was suddenly violently knocked open. The sun suddenly shone into the dark torture room, causing everyone to close their eyes.

I raised my head with difficulty and looked at a tall, familiar figure at the door.

The dark robes were blown by the wind, and those eyes as bright and restrained as obsidian were as calm as an ice lake. They looked at everything in front of them coldly, as if they wanted to freeze everything into ice. All the jailers were stunned.

Seeing him, everyone's face turned pale and they knelt down and said, "Bye - meet His Highness the Third Highness!"

Yes——Pei Yuanhao.

"Third brother?!"

Pei Yuanchen was shocked. He obviously didn't expect him to come here. Pei Yuanhao walked down the stone steps step by step, walked up to me as if there was no one else around, raised his hand, lifted my chin, and looked at my face dripping with cold sweat.

.

"Are you still alive?"

"..." I bit my lower lip, my breathing was already very weak.

"Come here, take the prisoner to the Criminal Department for interrogation."

"Yes!" The man who had been waiting for him outside the door rushed in immediately after hearing this, untied the chains on my hands, and escorted me out.

After saving my life from the door of hell, I breathed a long sigh of relief at this time. I lost my energy and almost fainted. But it was also at this time that I suddenly realized that the kind of compulsion that enveloped the execution room at that moment just now.

All human murderous aura disappeared at this moment.

I glanced at Pei Yuanhao subconsciously, and saw him give Pei Yuanchen a cold look, and then walked out of the prison.

After a while, they took me to the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment. The place had already been decorated, and people listening to the trial were sitting on both sides of the lobby. In addition to the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of Justice and the scribes, I saw at a glance that the emperor and the empress were sitting there.

In the most conspicuous position, the prince and King Qi were also present.

The torture in the past few days almost broke my whole body. I was dragged into the lobby of the Ministry of Justice by several guards. When Pei Yuanfeng saw my appearance, his eyes turned red and he said angrily to Pei Yuanhao: "Third brother,

How could you do this to a weak woman and beat her into submission?!"

Pei Yuanhao didn't say a word and slowly sat down in the chair of the referee.

"Third brother, you have gone too far!"

I raised my head and said in a dying voice: "Your Highness, this is not the Third Highness."

"No?" He was stunned: "Who is that? Who made you do this?!"

When Pei Yuanchen walked in, he said indifferently: "It's me."

"Fourth brother, you——"

"Fourth brother, this is also to try the case. Poisoning the queen is no small matter. How can the prisoner confess without using any means?"

"In that case, after you used these tortures, did the prisoner confess?"

As soon as Pei Yuanhao opened his mouth, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped, and everyone shuddered subconsciously. Pei Yuanchen glanced at him, obviously a little panicked, but he still said bravely: "This damn girl has a tough mouth.

."

"In other words, you didn't ask anything?"

"Since you, Third Brother, are so capable, why don't you ask and see what you can come up with?"

Pei Yuanchen is also full of confidence. He also knows that Pei Yuanhao has not come to Tianlao to interrogate me in the past three days. How can the chief interrogator, who has no clues or confessions, determine the merits of such a complicated case?<
