Chapter 638

"A dream?"

Lin Shi nodded heavily.

"This commoner never dreams, but five months ago, my husband kept entrusting me in my dreams. He said he died miserably, he was harmed by a villain... his money was taken, and he was made into an urn!"

Almost instantly, the expressions of the hundred officials changed, and the large Jin Luan Hall suddenly fell into silence.

Even Wu Zhao was full of astonishment.

"The deceased husband entrusted you in a dream, stating his grievance?"

"How is this possible!"

Lu Wen was the first to grasp the loophole, looking at Lin Shi with a sneer.

"Absurd!"

"A soul entrusting a dream to state a grievance? This official thinks you, Lin Shi, are treating all the civil and military officials of our Da Qian as fools!"

Lu Wen bowed to Wu Zhao, "Your Majesty, this commoner is babbling; I ask Your Majesty to beat her out with sticks!"

"We agree. If everyone in the world had deceased souls stating grievances, what would the government be for!"

"That's right!"

"Minister Lu's words are reasonable!"

At this time, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.

"Officials, what great official authority!"

"Your Majesty is personally judging this case and has her own decision. Do you officials want to decide on behalf of Your Majesty?"

Lu Wen looked over unhappily, wanting to see who dared to sing the opposite tune to him.

Then he saw Gao Yang's indifferent face.

His pupils shrank instantly.

What's going on with this Gao Yang?

Cui Xinghe also looked at Gao Yang, but then said, "Your Majesty is personally judging, and has her own decision. Why are you officials so impatient?"

"This talk of ghosts and gods, no one can say it's true, but no one can say it must be false either."

Cui Xinghe and Gao Yang spoke one after another, and Lu Wen could only snort coldly and avoid them.

Wu Zhao's brows furrowed tightly, her gaze fixed on Lin Shi.

Her intuition told her that Lin Shi was not lying, but really had a grievance.

But this talk of ghosts and gods was too unbelievable.

"Lin Shi, do you have any solid evidence?"

"The urn in this commoner's hand is the greatest evidence, because my husband's soul is in this urn!"

Lin Shi held the pitch-black urn high, a move that startled all the officials nearby.

The soul is hidden in this urn?

Everyone looked astonished.

"This commoner sold all my family property, came to Changancheng, visited all the urn shops in Changancheng, and took a fancy to this urn at first sight."

"Since I bought it, this commoner rarely had nightmares again... this... this is my husband, only he was made into an urn by a villain!"

Wu Zhao's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Hearing these words, Lu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

This mad woman's words were too unbelievable; this obviously couldn't be used as evidence.

The subordinates handling the case, even if they really drove her out, he had a reason to explain it.

"The talk of souls, the urn hiding a soul, is hard to convince. I want solid evidence!"

"You said that the Qin Wenchang couple killed your husband Lu Wenzheng, and Supreme Court official Tian Qing shielded them. Do you have evidence?"

"Yes!"

"What evidence?"

"After this commoner bought this urn, my husband kept saying in my dreams that he was made into an urn by a villain!"

"This commoner started looking for the source of this urn everywhere. This urn was bought from the Six Directions Pavilion. According to the shopkeeper, it was supplied by the Qin Wenchang couple's kiln!"

"Later, this commoner followed the trail and learned from a woodcutter at the east end of the city that four months ago, a wealthy-looking merchant had entered the Qin Wenchang couple's house outside the city!"

"This person must be my husband, but the Supreme Court listened to all the evidence and refused to accept the case, and even beat this commoner out."

"Through investigation, this commoner learned that the Supreme Court official who beat me out had his sister married to Qin Wenchang!"

Once these words were spoken, the whole matter was clear.

According to Lin Shi, five months ago, her husband Lu Wenzheng entered the kiln operated by the Qin Wenchang couple for some reason, but was brutally murdered and made into an urn.

Perhaps their love moved heaven, so Lu Wenzheng started entrusting his grievance to Lin Shi in her dreams. Lin Shi kept having nightmares, sensed something was wrong, waited another month, sold her family property, went to Changancheng, found this urn, found the Qin Wenchang couple through the shop owner, and learned from the woodcutter that a wealthy merchant had entered Qin Wenchang's house.

But she was repeatedly blocked at the Supreme Court, which is why she stopped Gao Yang's carriage in the street.

The matter was suddenly clear, and the time matched...

Although bizarre, it could be connected. Even Gao Yang, who had seen too many strange things, had to say that the bizarre degree of this case exceeded his imagination.

"Nonsense!"

Lu Wen flicked his sleeves, feeling more and more stable in his heart.

Wang Zhong also said loudly, "Your Majesty, in this subject's view, this is just a fantasy of someone who misses her husband too much and is going crazy."

"If this is true, this old man will eat three large buckets of feces."

This is too outrageous!

Hearing the questioning, Lin Shi shook her head hurriedly, "Your Majesty, everything this commoner said is true!"

"Whether it's the time or the people, everything matches."

Wu Zhao's brows furrowed, but looking at the pale Lin Shi, she still said.

"Summon Supreme Court official Tian Qing, and... this Qin Wenchang couple!"

"I will judge it personally!"

"..."

Supreme Court.

Tian Qing paced back and forth, the dull drum sound constantly echoing in his mind.

This Lin Shi, she actually sounded the Grievance Drum!

This matter has blown up!

This is unfortunate, but also fortunate, because the matter blew up so big that he got the news in advance.

He still had a little time to make some preparations.

Soon, a man in brocade clothes and a woman with rouge on her face hurried over in a panic; it was the Qin Wenchang couple.

"Brother, what should we do! This Lin Shi sounded the Grievance Drum and entered the palace to file a petition to the Emperor!"

"The Emperor is busy with state affairs; she won't really judge this case personally, will she?"

Tian Yan had a thick layer of rouge and powder on her face; she hugged Tian Qing's arm tightly and said in a panic.

In contrast, Qin Wenchang was much calmer, but his brows were knitted, his face full of ruthlessness.

"Brother, we haven't given you less tribute on weekdays, and our couple also contributed a lot to your official position. You absolutely cannot sit idly by regarding this matter."

Tian Qing's expression changed, and he scolded directly, "Shut up, beware of walls having ears!"

After the scolding, Tian Yan didn't dare to speak, only looking bitter.
