Hidden in the court

Chapter 140 The Judge

"This……"

Faced with Ji Mingshang's words, Tan Heng seemed a little at a loss.

"Don't be afraid, just speak up. I understand the greater good and will make the decision for you."

Tan Heng looked up at Ji Mingshang, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and it was obvious that her head was still a little dizzy. Then she looked at Zhou Boxian on the ground, she thought carefully, and then said seriously:

"My Lord, the eldest son of the Zhou family did come to see me two days ago, but everything was normal at the time, and Mr. Zhou did not harm me. I fainted on my own, and I have the soul-leaving syndrome, so I don't remember anything that happened afterwards."

Ji Mingshang nodded expressionlessly, but he was thinking secretly in his heart. Of course he knew why she lost her memory, because her memories were not connected with her fellow villagers. But he still pretended to be ignorant and turned to ask the Tan family members present.

"Can you all prove what she said?"

Everyone in the Tan family nodded in agreement. Among them, a middle-aged man came out, bowed respectfully to Ji Mingshang and said, "My Lord, my daughter has indeed suffered from the Soul Separation Disease for many years. This is known not only to the entire Tan family, but also to the doctors in Qing'an City."

Hearing this, Ji Mingshang nodded slightly to show his approval.

However, Zhou Boxian and the Zhou family's faces turned very ugly. After all, a person who has lost his memory cannot provide strong evidence to prove his innocence.

"It's difficult. Since you have lost your memory, I will help you recall what happened in the past two days."

Then Ji Mingshang smiled and looked at Zhou Boxian, "Mr. Zhou, please describe what happened in the past two days, starting from the night when Miss Tan fell into a coma."

Zhou Boxian stood up immediately and said while recalling, "That night when I saw Miss Tan faint, I immediately helped her outside. I saw that the city was pitch black and I couldn't find a clinic or a medicine store.

I wanted to bring him back to the Zhou family for treatment, so I had no choice but to ask my uncle to open the city gate. I had just left the city, but I was afraid that the family would know about this, so I had no choice but to drive north. I drove for a day and a night. Finally, I was exhausted and collapsed in the deserted temple.

But when I woke up the next day, I found that Miss Tan was gone. There was an unknown female warrior beside me. She tied me up, saying that she was afraid that I would harm her. Later, I persuaded her to untie me, but we still couldn't find food. The female warrior got on the carriage to rest, and I also fell down from hunger.

When I woke up, I saw the Marquis and his men coming, but I didn’t know when the person in the carriage turned out to be Miss Tan again…”

Zhou Boxian felt guilty at the end of saying this, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Ji Mingshang had a sinister smile on his face. The others were shocked when they heard it, and Zhou Hai's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Listen to what you said, is it human language? Even a lie is not made up like this. You couldn't find a clinic in the city, so you went to the wilderness? You told a little lie and asked someone to help you open the city gate, but you didn't go home? You drove for a whole day and night, and even exhausted yourself? Then Tan Heng disappeared, and a woman came out, tied you up, and then untied you? When you woke up, Tan Heng appeared in the car again? Is this what you meant?

Except for Ji Mingshang, everyone present thought that Zhou Bo was just making up stories.

Ji Mingshang also burst into laughter, and his laughter was extremely wild.

"In comparison, Mr. Zhou's confession is much more interesting. Zhou Boxian, you mean that after Tan Heng fainted that night, you wanted to find a doctor for her, but the pharmacy was already closed at that time, and you were quite polite and didn't disturb her rest!

You asked the Zhou family's relatives to open the city gate for you, but you drove the carriage for a day and a night, and finally brought people to a dilapidated temple in the wilderness. Could it be that there really were gods in that temple?

Then Miss Tan disappeared and reappeared. There was also a woman who tied you up and released you. What's going on? Does she have some weird fetish?

Zhou Hai, who was standing by, did hear something different in the words. Fortunately, nothing serious happened to the person, and his son did not commit any serious mistakes. But Ji Mingshang seemed to consciously lead the matter to the private opening of the city gate.

This matter is much more serious. The former is just a matter of imprisonment for a few months, while the latter means beheading the people guarding the city.

At this moment, Ji Mingshang spoke again, "Haha, your answer is quite objective. Well, if you don't say it, I'll say it for you.

Tan Heng didn't like you during the day, but you were wishful thinking and extremely perverted. Even that night, you ran to her residence and wanted to elope with her. After your fierce words, Tan Heng fainted. You were anxious to send her to the doctor at first, but you really didn't want to give up such a woman, so you came up with a plan.

You had your clansmen secretly open the city gate for you, but you were too embarrassed to go back home. So you decided to go all out, thinking that the worst that could happen was that you would be exiled from this place, so you took a carriage for a day and a night and fled from Lujiang.

Finally, she collapsed in the temple due to exhaustion, but unexpectedly, she ran into the prince who was returning to Beijing from the north. In order not to arouse suspicion, you made up a female knight's guise, trying to confuse people and fish in troubled waters, right?

You only talked about what happened, but you didn't say that all this was caused by your evil thoughts. For someone like you, do you think you are a bitch?"

"No, that's not the case! These are all your guesses..."

Zhou Boxian seemed extremely excited and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Really? Then let me ask you, there was nothing in the bag you carried out that night, but there were several hundred taels of silver?"

As he spoke, someone took out Zhou Boxian's bag that night and threw it on the ground. The white silver was scattered all over the ground, making a clanging sound. The huge bag was filled with only silver.

"Such a big bag, with only silver in it, I'm afraid you are trying to run away. And you still say you didn't plan it all along!"

"No, I'm not! How can you prove it's my fault?"

Zhou Boxian's face became hideous, veins bulged, his eyeballs bulged out, and were bloodshot.

"It's very simple. I stayed next to her at the inn that night. I heard everything you said clearly. How dare you shamelessly think that she would like you? How dare a pervert like you mention Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun?"

Ji Mingshang's words were calm and yet powerful, forming a sharp contrast with Zhou Boxian's madness at the moment.

Zhou Boxian was really going crazy. He didn't know if all this was caused by his evil thoughts, if he had planned it in advance, and if Tan Heng had disappeared. He was not even sure if the heroine he saw when he was so tired really existed. He really didn't know anything.

"What do you mean? Do I need to repeat your disgusting words to you again?"
