Even though she had just been scolded by Shen Lian one moment, the next moment she heard the unfavorable words for her son, she quickly stood up and rebuked Official Bai Yan loudly.

Throughout his life, Bai Yanguan was a principled and honest official.

This is something he has always been proud of.

But in the end, Mr. Zhou rebuked him and slandered him on this matter!

For Bai Yanguan, this was a great humiliation.

His face immediately turned red from Zhou's anger.

"Everything I said is true, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhou put her hands on her hips and said, "Is it true? It's true!"

"You said you didn't kill my son, then who did?"

"Everyone in my family told me that they only saw you enter the room alone!"

"And you are the only outsider here!"

"And, you also said that you stabbed my son!"

"Why, these are not enough to prove that you are the murderer!"

Zhou looked at Shen Lian and said, "Who doesn't know that you took care of Shen Lian? Who doesn't know that you are both a teacher and a father to Shen Lian, so Shen Lian will definitely turn to you!"

As he said this, Mr. Zhou burst into tears.

She ran to Li Shimin and cried: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for my son!"

"Master Shen Lian of the Tang Dynasty obviously wants to protect Bai Yanguan. Bai Yanguan is obviously the murderer, but now he is pretending to be confused!"

"If they are allowed to escape the punishment of the law, how can I rest in peace!"

"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for my son!"

Zhou's voice was very loud, and people inside and outside could hear her clearly.

At this moment, the people who did not know the truth began to whisper when they heard her voice.

"Is Lord Bai really the murderer?"

"No way!"

"Why not? Didn't you listen to what the deceased's mother said? All the evidence points to Mr. Bai!"

"How could Master Shen protect Master Bai?"

"How is it possible! I will believe Master Bai to kill someone, but I never believe that Master Shen will cover up the murderer!"

"Yes, Lord Shen represents absolute justice. I believe in Lord Shen!"

"I also believe Master Shen!"

The people's support and trust in Shen Lian was truly heartfelt.

And all of this stems from Shen Lian's efforts.

Shen Lian has always treated the people sincerely.

He has always adhered to his principles.

Therefore, he also became the Qingtian Grand Master in the hearts of the people.

Even though Mr. Zhou said this at this moment, the people still believed Shen Lian!

Zhou originally wanted to incite the people and public opinion, so that Bai Yanguan would be executed quickly.

But who knew, the people believed in Shen Lian.

This made her expression change again and again. She sat down directly on the ground and cried loudly: "My son, you left and left me behind. Mother is useless. Even the murderer will escape."

"Oh my god, why are you so cruel to us!"

Mrs. Zhou cried so sadly.

And he cried in front of Li Shimin.

This made Li Shimin feel a little uncomfortable.

As an emperor, he naturally cannot ignore it.

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Mrs. Zhou, don't worry, I'm here, I will definitely make the decision for you."

Zhou's eyes lit up.

Just as she was about to say something, Li Shimin said: "Shen Lian, did you hear that? Handle the case properly, and you must be fair and strict, otherwise I will not let you go."

Zhou's face froze.

This is not what she wants!

She didn't want Shen Lian to solve the case!

As for Shen Lian, he just glanced at Mr. Zhou lightly, and then said calmly: "Since Mrs. Zhou is so anxious, that's all. Next, I will tell you how your son died!"

"Don't worry, I won't be biased towards anyone, because the evidence will show everything!"

When Zhou heard what Shen Lian said, she was silent for a moment, and then muttered: "Then just show the evidence."

Shen Lian glanced at Mrs. Zhou, then at Bai Yanguan who was so angry that his beard stood up, then he slapped the crowd and said: "Come here, bring the deceased!"

Soon, Zhou Qin's body was carried up.

Zhou Qin had been dead for many days, and his body was already covered with corpse spots.

The smell of corpse is also very obvious.

When he was lifted up, all the officials around him subconsciously covered their noses.

Shen Lian, on the other hand, looked at Zhou very calmly and said, "Can you confirm that this is your son's body?"

Zhou's eyes immediately turned red, and she said: "What are you thinking about? My son should have been buried long ago, but you refused to let me go. Now you have moved it here again, and you ask me if it is my son's body!"

Shen Lian said calmly: "So, that is your son's body."

Zhou didn't understand what Shen Lian was going to do.

But he still nodded.

Shen Lian continued: "Then take a look again to see if the condition of the corpse is exactly the same as when it died that day, and whether anyone has touched or damaged the corpse."

Mrs. Zhou frowned.

Then Shen Lian said calmly: "Don't you always suspect that we want to protect Mr. Bai? I will give you a chance now to check the evidence and clues, lest you feel as if everyone in the world is trying to harm your son. "

There was a trace of dissatisfaction on Zhou's elongated face.

She snorted coldly and said, "Just watch."

After saying that, she got up and inspected Zhou Qin's body very carefully.

After half a stick of incense, she returned to her original seat and said: "There is no change, it is still exactly the same as when he was killed by Bai Yanguan."

Bai Yanguan said angrily: "I didn't kill him!"

Mrs. Zhou smiled coldly: "Whether you kill or not is not your decision. I want to see how Shen Lian will protect you."

"you--"

Bai Yanguan was so angry that his whole body trembled.

Shen Lian still looked calm and said, "Since you have confirmed that your son's body has not been tampered with, that's good."

"Bring a wife to work!"

Soon, a middle-aged man in gray clothes came over.

He walked to the front of the court and bowed first to Li Shimin, then to Lu Qing: "Master Shen."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

He said: "Say it."

Wu Zuo said: "Xiao Zuo is the Wu Zuo who did the autopsy. Within an hour after the incident, Xiao Xiao rushed to the Zhou Mansion and started the autopsy."

"Based on the condition of the corpse, I judged that the time of death of the deceased was between one hour and two hours, and that time was exactly the time when Master Bai came to Zhou Mansion."

When Zhou heard this, he shouted directly: "Iron proof, this is ironclad proof, what else do you have to say!"

Shen Lian glanced at Mr. Zhou expressionlessly.

Zhou, a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is feeling a little wilted under Shen Lian's gaze at this moment.

She shrank her neck and sat back down again.

Shen Lian then looked away and said: "Continue.

……………………

Wu Zuo continued: "The deceased died because the dagger pierced the heart, causing excessive bleeding and the loss of life."

"After investigation, it can be determined that the murder weapon used to stab the deceased was the dagger inserted into the deceased's heart."
