Under Li Yi and Cheng Yaojin's coercion, Chang 'an Prefecture Magistrate Wang Quan finally accepted Wu Meiniang's case in trepidation.
"For the case of the Wu brothers 'property invasion, I…I announce the opening of the trial.”
Following the announcement of the royal authority, Wu Mei Niang's uncle was quickly brought into the hall.
"Lord Prefect, I am Wu Zhongwei, the head of the Ministry of Personnel.”
"I am the Minister of Revenue, Wu Ze. Greetings, Lord Prefect.”
These two Wu clansmen were both officials of Chang 'an. Although their ranks were not high, they were still officials of powerful departments. It was no wonder that the Chang' an Prefect Wang Quan was biased towards them.
These two martial arts university people were fair and fat. They had kind looks and did not look like officials. They looked more like wealthy businessmen.
When they saw Li Yi and Cheng Yaojin standing behind Wu Meiniang, their expressions instantly turned colorful.""Aiya, Mei Niang, why don't you go home? You made Uncle look for you so hard. Before your father died, he entrusted you and your daughter to us. We let him down.”
The duo's performance was impressive. If Li Yi had not seen the scene in front of the Martial Palace, he would have believed their words.
"Milords, you really take good care of Miss Wu. Not only did you take care of her mother and daughter until they were homeless, you even took care of their property under your name.”Li Yi grinned as he looked at the two chubby Wu brothers.
"You……Duke, don't slander me. This was the court, don't talk nonsense. That property is an ancestral property left behind by my Wu clan. Mei Niang's father only returned it to Wu clan.”Wu Zhongwei, the head of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, was sharp-tongued. His face did not turn red but his expression did not change as he retorted righteously.
Wu Meiniang was not a weak woman who would be bullied by others. This beautiful girl smiled coldly and walked in front of Tang Bo."Uncle, don't talk nonsense. That is the inheritance that Wu clan's ancestors gave to my father, it already belongs to our clan. "It has nothing to do with our ancestors. Moreover, even if it's an ancestral property, it has nothing to do with you.”
Wu Meiniang's other uncle was not to be outdone either. He immediately took out a document."Mei Niang, sooner or later, you will marry into someone else's family. And how can I hand over the ancestral property of my Wu clan to you? Do you see this? This is your father's will, saying that he will return all the properties in Chang 'an to the Wu Family.”
Wu Meiniang wanted to go forward to check, but she was stopped by the uncle. Then, she quickly put away the will."I can't let you tear this up. The Prefect Master has already verified that the handwriting on it is exactly the same as the letter your father sent to Chang 'an.”
At this moment, Chang 'an Prefecture Magistrate Wang Quan nodded.""Wu Clan, just as your uncle said. I've checked this will. It's indeed the same handwriting as the letter your father sent to Chang 'an.”
Li Yi smiled." Lord Prefect, let's think of the simplest logic." Will you give your family property in Chang 'an to your cousin after a hundred years? Why don't you leave it for your wife and children?"
"This…Young Duke, you're being unreasonable. I won't make deductions based on emotion. I need evidence to ensure the fairness of the case.”When Royal Power heard Li Yi curse at him, his face turned as red as a pig's liver.
"Evidence? What was the persuasiveness of a piece of evidence that he dared not announce to the public?”Li Yi did not want to be outdone and continued to press on.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin, who was dozing off on the field, finally woke up."Um…Wu brothers, show your evidence to your niece. Now you want to seize the family property of her widow and orphan, but you don't even show her the proof. How can you do that?”
Facing the devil incarnate, Duke Lu, the Wu brothers exchanged glances with each other. Finally, they took out the will and handed it to Wu Meiniang."Mei Niang, the adults present are all watching. If you tear up and destroy the evidence, even Uncle won't be able to save you.”
Wu Meiniang coldly snorted and took the will. After reading it once, her beautiful eyebrows gradually furrowed, and a faint sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth,"Uncle, you forged such a will and you dare to plot against my family's property?”
The Wu brothers snatched the will and sneered,""Hehe, Mei Niang, this is the main hall. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You said that your uncle forged it, so why is the handwriting on it exactly the same as your father's?”
"Yes, could it be that the letters your father sent in the past were also forged?”
The two brothers sang together, their momentum was not weak.
Unexpectedly, Wu Meiniang laughed. Her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, and it was also like a pleasant music. It could not help but attract everyone's attention."My father has been too tired in recent years. Therefore, the letters sent to the family were all written by Mei Niang. Only official documents and memorials are personally written by my father. Do you want me to go to the three provinces to find those memorials for you to verify?”
"In other words, this will was actually written in my handwriting. It was not written by my father at all.”
The Wu brothers 'faces turned pale. They looked even more panicked, but their tone was still firm."You…you're talking nonsense. You're a girl, how can you write such majestic words? You must be lying on purpose."
Unexpectedly, Li Yi, who was standing at the side, laughed as well.""Whether it is Miss Wu's handwriting or not, let her write it down.”
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was looking at him with ill intentions, Wang Quan could only say,"Wu shi, write a poem and let me see your handwriting.”
"Yes, my lord." Wu Meiniang did not refuse. She walked to the shore where the advisor was and picked up a pen. In one breath, a majestic poem appeared in front of everyone.
Li Yi stepped forward and picked up the calligraphy, secretly praising it. This generation's Empress truly lived up to her reputation. Such calligraphy had made countless men blush with shame.
Wang Quan once again compared Wu Meiniang's handwriting with the handwriting of the will, and his face immediately revealed a dejected expression.
Anyone could tell that although the handwriting of the two copies seemed to be the same, the will was obviously stiff and written too casually. There was only the shape but no spirit.
The truth of the case was about to be revealed.
"This is impossible! That's impossible!" The two Wu brothers snatched Wu Meiniang's handwriting and tore it into pieces.
Li Yi sneered and said to the Wu brothers,""In order to prevent you from being stubborn, State Duke Lu has already sent soldiers to arrest 'Ghost Hand' from Chang 'an. It was that Ghost Hand who was good at faking paintings. He believed that he would arrive very soon.”
The Wu brothers fell to the ground after hearing this.
