Chapter 636

This world has always been clearly divided. When a commoner accuses a commoner, no one will say a word; the hundred officials will look at it indifferently, as if watching a trivial excitement.

But Lin Shi not only wanted to accuse the Qin Wenchang couple but also wanted to accuse the entire Supreme Court of injustice, which touched the reverse scales of some people!

Because in their eyes, the authority of officials and the authority of the ruling class are unquestionable.

You, a mere commoner, dare to accuse the entire Supreme Court?

Audacious!

They might even think that once Lin Shi succeeds easily, will another Tian Shi or Li Shi appear later?

Today's Supreme Court, if they don't huddle together for warmth, the next one will be... them.

Because among the hundred officials in this court, few do practical work, and many bully the commoners.

What's more, Lin Shi didn't even give Supreme Court Minister Lu Wen half a face, which involved party strife in the court.

This Censor Huang is clearly very close to Lu Wen.

Gao Yang watched Lin Shi's thin body, and for the second time, an inexplicable emotion surged up.

That emotion was like wanting to overturn this world and reshape these damn rules...!

He took a long breath, trying his best to suppress the boiling in his heart.

The hundred officials' gazes gathered on Lin Shi, and Lu Wen also looked at Lin Shi; everyone was waiting for Lin Shi's choice.

Is she really willing to suffer the punishment of rolling on steel nails just to seek justice?

Lin Shi's face was full of determination, and a smile even bloomed on her face.

"This commoner implores Your Majesty to grant extra-legal grace and take my child down."

"She is still too young and cannot watch this scene."

"Granted!"

"Mom!"

Although An An didn't know what kind of punishment rolling on steel needles was, it sounded extremely terrifying.

She let out a shrill cry, her immature crying sound resounding through the hall, which was moving.

But she was still taken down by the Imperial Guards.

"Please, Your Majesty, grant grace and give this commoner a chance to seek justice."

Lin Shi's body tightened, her waist straightened, and she looked directly at Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao took a deep breath, her phoenix eyes sweeping coldly over the hundred officials.

She slowly spat out one word.

"Granted!"

Soon, the palace soldiers pushed the roller and walked toward Lin Shi.

Wu Zhao closed her eyes, and the hundred officials' gazes also gathered on Lin Shi.

Lu Zhen and Qin Zhenguo sighed and moved their gazes away, unable to bear seeing what would happen next.

Gao Yang's eyes were filled with anger, his eyes extremely cold.

"Begin!"

Wu Zhao waved her hand and then closed her eyes.

Whoosh!

The roller approached from the back, and the passivated steel needles were to be inserted from the back. The executioner would perform special handling, pulling out some steel needles to avoid the vital parts of the back.

But the pain was not reduced at all, and even intensified!

"Ah!"

Accompanied by the rolling of the steel needles, the needle tips slowly pierced into Lin Shi's body.

Almost instantly, dark red spots appeared on Lin Shi's white mourning clothes, staining the white cloth.

An intense pain struck instantly.

This pain was almost unbearable for an ordinary person!

Lin Shi's body trembled, her silver teeth clenched, and a layer of fine sweat seeped from her forehead.

But even though her body trembled and her fists were clenched, Lin Shi did not make a sound.

Her eyes were still firm!

Wu Zhao opened her phoenix eyes, held the armrest of the dragon chair, and her phoenix eyes were moved.

The executioner gritted his teeth and continued to roll the steel needles. The steel needles that had previously pierced into the body were pulled out bit by bit, and new steel needles pierced into the flesh again, oozing blood...

Lin Shi's body trembled more violently, the sweat on her forehead increased, and the white mourning clothes and red blood spots almost melted together...

The roller moved from the waist all the way up; every inch of movement was a violent torment.

Finally!

The executioner pulled out the roller, and Lin Shi's body also fell to the ground.

She breathed heavily, her withered hands pressing against the ground to stabilize her body's balance.

Her back was already a dense patch of red, and her complexion was extremely pale.

But she raised her head, looked at Wu Zhao, and said with heavy breathing, "The world... although the world has black and white, this commoner always firmly believes that black and white... black and white are clearly divided; black cannot be white, and white cannot be black..."

"I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this case and give my deceased husband... give my deceased husband justice!"

"Strictly... strictly investigate the entire Supreme Court!"

Wu Zhao sat up straight, her gaze looking at Lin Shi and the huge black coffin behind her.

She took a deep breath and said in an unquestionable tone, "I will thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"You can state your grievance; I will definitely give you justice!"

"I guarantee it!"

Lin Shi's complexion was pale, but a smile appeared on her face.

"This commoner is a native of Qingzhou. My deceased husband's surname was Lu, given name Wenzheng. He ran a silk shop in Qingzhou. Half a year ago, my deceased husband came to Changancheng to do business, but he never returned and there was no news!"

"A month later, this commoner felt that something had happened, but I waited for twenty days without peace of mind. Seeing that my husband hadn't returned for a long time, I concluded that he must have had an accident in Changancheng."

Wang Yifan looked puzzled and interrupted, "Changancheng is hundreds of miles away from Qingzhou. For business dealings, a few months is very normal. Why did you conclude that something happened after only a month?"

These words made the hundred officials nod one after another.

Lu Wen flicked his sleeves and said, "A month's time, not being able to return to Qingzhou from Changancheng, that is also quite normal. Although this case didn't reach this official's hands and this official doesn't know about it, these words are full of loopholes!"

"In this official's view, Lin Shi is full of lies and is maliciously instigated by others, intending to slander our Supreme Court!"

"It should be strictly investigated!"

"That's right!"

Some censors also followed suit.

Seeing this, Gao Yang said lightly, "Selling family property, an orphan and widow traveling far to Changancheng, and even not hesitating to hold the Great Proclamation to enter the hall, just to slander the Supreme Court?"

"Minister Lu, you might as well sleep on your side at night."

"Why sleep on my side?"

"To pour some of the water out of your brain!"

"Minister Gao, you!"

Lu Wen couldn't hold it anymore, his eyes staring straight at Gao Yang.

"Your Majesty!"
