"Your Majesty." Feng Zhiwei said calmly, "Weichen will definitely prove his and Gu Nanyi's innocence thoroughly. Please consider that the case is suspicious, first remove the deadly weapons on Gu Nanyi's body. Can you please take off the cold iron shackles?"

Emperor Tiansheng was startled and took a closer look at the shackles on Gu Nanyi's body. He was suddenly startled. After thinking for a while, he remembered the origin of this thing. There was a hint of anger in his eyes and he said with dismay: "Peng Pei, you are really out of your mind." , actually inflicted this severe punishment indiscriminately, please come and get rid of it!"

Several Imperial Guard guards stepped forward to untie the shackles. They heard an ouch as soon as they touched the shackles. Then they saw a pale white mist coming out of the shackles, and their fingers stuck to the shackles. One of the guards pulled nervously and screamed. The **** skin was left on the shackles!

These shackles are like deep winter ice, able to stick to people's heated skin!

The cold fire flashed in Feng Zhiwei's eyes again, and she suddenly strode over, grabbed Peng Pei, and said, "You can help me!"

Peng Pei raised his head in fear and looked at Emperor Tiansheng, his eyes full of pity. Emperor Tiansheng drank tea indifferently and said calmly: "The extreme ice cuffs are not allowed to be used without imperial approval. Since you dare to use them easily, you can untie them yourself." So should."

Peng Pei had a look of despair on his face and trembled his lips as he tried to tear off his clothes. Feng Zhiwei kicked his hand away, "Don't tear your clothes and wrap your hands!"

Peng Pei had no choice but to grit his teeth and use his bare hands to unlock the shackles. White mist emerged in bursts, and his skin and flesh stuck to the shackles layer by layer. The pain made him sweat and tremble all over. He almost fainted several times, but was stopped by Feng Zhi. Wei poked him hard from behind, and it was impossible to faint even if he wanted to. A pile of cold sweat and blood instantly accumulated on the ground.

It took a long time before the shackles were taken off. They were already covered with **** finger marks and flesh. When they landed on the ground, they smashed several huge blue stones, releasing a stream of light blue green energy.

The moment the shackles fell, Gu Nanyi's body swayed, and then he sat firmly, and a pile of broken ice instantly shook off from under his clothes.

Feng Zhiwei looked at the dark, heavy shackles that glowed with light blue, and at the broken ice rolling down Gu Nanyi's body. A tear almost fell. She hurriedly raised her hand to cover it, and reached out to grab Gu Nanyi. Wrist veins.

Gu Nanyi immediately stood up and retreated. Feng Zhiwei knew that he didn't want her to show Wei Zhi's martial arts in front of everyone, but this way she wouldn't know how seriously he was injured. For a moment, she felt extremely hateful and grabbed Peng Pei. , strode back to the front of the hall.

I don’t have the patience to struggle with them anymore, so I’ll settle the matter quickly.

"Master Wei." Before she could raise her voice, Academician Wu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and said, "Although you have two highnesses testifying that they did not go to the Ministry of Rites when the crime occurred, you still cannot be cleared. Is it possible for you to instigate others? Moreover, the Chunwei test questions are so important. As the chief official of the Ministry of Rites, if you steal the test questions, you will inevitably be guilty of negligence."

Everyone in the hall looked stern. This is a fact. Historically, those related to the Spring and Autumn Period examination questions were serious crimes. Stolen examination questions were at the very least banished from official posts. Wei Zhi still could not escape this crime.

Are you still not giving up?

The trapped beast still fights, be careful of hurting yourself!

Feng Zhiwei turned his head and stared at him coldly. When he saw that Grand Scholar Wu was fidgeting in his seat, he said solemnly: "Thank you, Grand Scholar Wu, for reminding me - but..."

She smiled so hard that she gritted her teeth.

"Who said I had the test questions stolen?"

Everyone was shocked when he said this. Even Emperor Tiansheng leaned out from his seat and asked: "What?"

"Don't you think it's strange, Your Majesty?" Feng Zhi said with a smile, "A very important witness in this case is Li Changyong, who is said to have colluded with the ministers, bribed a lot of money to buy test questions and sold them to the outside world, and was captured on the spot by the Imperial Palace. , why didn’t it appear from beginning to end?”

After asking this question, everyone suddenly realized that indeed, this important witness who should have been brought up first did not come to court.

Peng Pei’s face became increasingly ugly—this witness was missing!

Because this matter was not his own work, he was only in charge of extorting confessions and killing people in the Ministry of Punishment. The important witness was arranged by someone else. He did not know who it was before. This witness was escorted by the Imperial Palace. When he came here, for safety reasons, he was separated from Wei Zhi and others and locked in an ordinary prison above the ground. Unexpectedly, before the trial was about to start this morning, the yamen officer reported that this prisoner was missing.

At that time, the arrow was on the string and he had to fire it. He thought that the other evidence was complete and there were people in the hall to help him, which was enough to prove Wei Zhi's death, so he ordered the government officials to keep quiet and search everywhere. At this time, he heard Feng Zhiwei take the initiative to mention this issue. , there was a bang in his heart, he already understood that Wei Zhi had already done something about it.

For a moment, I hated Wu Lun in my heart, not against Wei Zhi, but against the second prince who knew that things had changed but did not notify him in time. For a moment, he was so angry that he even forgot the pain, and only committed suicide as if he was killing someone. He stared at the second prince intently, and after a while he gritted his teeth and replied: "Your Majesty... that witness... disappeared inexplicably in the prison last night..."

"Missing?" Emperor Tiansheng was startled, then became furious, "Absurd!"

"Your Majesty." Feng Zhiwei smiled and said, "Please allow me to call a few witnesses to the court."

"Yes."

"Please tell Zong Chen, Li Changyong! Tian Liu!"

When the name Li Changyong came out, everyone looked at each other in shock. The witness was actually in the hands of Wei Zhi?

"Chuan Zongchen, Li Changyong, Tian Liu..."

Not long after, someone strode into the hall, wearing flowing white clothes and an easy-going temperament, wearing an ebony mask, and carrying two people in his hands.

It is Zong Chen.

When he passed by Gu Nanyi, he suddenly stopped and looked at him up and down, with an angry look in his eyes. He raised his hand to check his pulse. Gu Nanyi did not refuse this time. Zong Chen insisted on him. His wrist, which was as cold as ice, closed at the touch, and then he stuffed a fiery red pill into his mouth.

Then he saluted Emperor Tiansheng and pushed the two witnesses forward.

Feng Zhiwei turned around, pointed at the man kneeling on the left, and said: "Your Majesty, this is Tian Liu." He also said: "Tian Liu, in front of you to the left is the current Holy Emperor, why don't you bow?"

The man had been listening attentively, his eyes a little dull. After hearing this sentence, he moved his knees and bowed in the direction of Emperor Tiansheng.

"Tian Liu, a student who dropped out of school in the 13th year of Qingming Changxi's reign, comes to see our emperor!"

"Qingming?" Emperor Tiansheng was startled for a moment, looked at Tian Liu's obviously abnormal gaze, and said hesitantly: "Your eyes..."
