Chapter 387 Unleashing evil and causing chaos in the courtroom!
Lin Zhiqing's chest rose and fell slightly; clearly, it had taken her considerable effort to awaken the flute player.

She carefully stretched out her hand and waved it in front of the flute player.

The flute player didn't react; he seemed lost in some kind of memory, raising his hand to cover his head.

Seeing the flute player move, Jiang Liuyun stepped forward and blocked the way for everyone.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunhe behind him pursed his lips almost imperceptibly.

Lin Zhiqing frowned and glanced at Jiang Liuyun, then tried to communicate with the flute player:

"who are you?"

Upon hearing the sound, the flute player suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing was not intimidated by his frightening gaze, but instead tried her best to soothe his emotions:

"You're safe now. No one can control you. Tell me, what have you been through?"

Her voice was like a clear spring, but the flute player seemed very cautious.

The flute player did not reply, his gaze slowly sweeping over Lin Zhiqing's face.

Lin Zhiqing was thrilled; she had succeeded!

Ever since the flute player was sent to the Lin family, she has tried to wake him up whenever she has free time.

Hypnosis involves controlling the body and consciousness of the person using the flute, keeping their mind clear.

In other words, Liu Mang imprisoned the flute player's thoughts, as if the flute player was locked in a shell.

What Lin Zhiqing wanted to do was to free the flute player from his shell.

Only he himself knew what Liu Mang had done to him and what had happened over the years.

The flute player is definitely related to the Jiang family, and Lin Zhiqing wants him to say it himself.

However, the flute player had been controlled for too long and hypnotized too deeply; Lin Zhiqing had only briefly awakened him previously.

Before he could even ask anything, the flute player fell asleep again.

On this occasion, Lin Zhiqing is doing her best to awaken the flute player.

The Lin family is not in a favorable position regarding the retrial, so they can only rely on this opportunity to try and regain their chances of winning.

She was very careful, gripping the flute tightly in her hand.

Because she also had to make sure the flute player didn't go berserk and attack those present.

Under Lin Zhiqing's gaze, the flute player mechanically turned his body, seemingly unaware of what he was doing.

Lin Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "How are you feeling now...?"

She realized something was wrong as soon as she finished speaking.

Because the flute player kept staring in one direction and didn't move.

Lin Zhiqing looked in the direction the flute player was staring at and saw the Jiang family father and son looking at the flute player with wary expressions.

A hint of joy welled up in her heart.

There is a play!

It seems that the flute player really knows the Jiang family!
Everyone present noticed this.

Jiang Liuyun frowned slightly. Was the person really awake?

Just as he was thinking of a solution, he suddenly noticed that the flute player's body had moved.

Then, a murderous aura swept over us.

The flute player seems to be preparing to attack them!
Jiang Liuyun slowly clenched his fist, but the next moment, he heard Jiang Yunhe gently tap the chair.

Launching an attack in court is a violation of the laws of Tai Sheng.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liuyun loosened his grip.

The next moment, the flute player leaned forward and lunged at the Jiang family father and son, letting out a mournful whimper!
His attack was so sudden that it caused a commotion. Jiang Liuyun, however, chose not to retaliate. If the flute player attacked them, the Lin family would have no grounds for protest.

He stood there, motionless.

In his eyes, the figure of the flute player rapidly magnified.

Just then, a melodious flute tune rang out again.

The flute player paused, as if something was dragging him down from behind, preventing him from moving forward even half a step.

As the flute music grew more urgent, he gradually closed his eyes, once again becoming trapped in place.

Jiang Liuyun's gaze passed over the flute player and landed on Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing put down the jade flute in her hand, but instead of looking at Jiang Liuyun, she looked at Jiang Yunhe.

She had just seen it clearly: after regaining her senses, the flute player went berserk upon seeing Jiang Yunhe.

In other words, the flute player must be related to Jiang Yunhe!

She narrowed her eyes, about to speak, when a "bang" rang out.

Zhou Chongzheng slammed his gavel: "Lin Zhiqing, your behavior just now was clearly disrupting the court proceedings!"

"I have never seen such a bold person before, daring to commit such heinous acts in front of so many people!"

Lin Congli frowned: "My lord, Zhiqing only awakened the flute player, and did not control the enemy to attack anyone."

“My uncle is right. Everyone present saw it. I only played the flute when I was waking up and controlling the flute-wielder.” Lin Zhiqing picked up his jade flute and showed it to everyone.
"As for the period when the flute was silent, whatever the flute player did was beyond my control."

At this point, she turned to the Jiang father and son and said:

"I'd like to ask you, Lord Marquis, if there's a cause for every grievance and a debtor for every crime, why did the flute player suddenly want to attack you?"

Jiang Yunhe frowned slightly, but before he could speak, Zhou Chongzheng spoke again:

"How dare you, Lin Zhiqing! How do we know if you have any other methods besides the flute?"

"If you control the flute player to attack Marquis Zhenyuan, then cry 'stop thief' and deliberately put on this act to deceive us, what will you do then?"

This time, before Lin Zhiqing could speak, the Minister of Justice straightened his posture and said:

“Lord Zhou is being far too harsh. If Lin Zhiqing could control the flute player to attack the Marquis, why would he go to such great lengths to put on this show?”

"Why doesn't she just have the flute player speak and identify the Marquis of Zhenyuan?"

"The flute player's actions just now clearly showed that he had some past grievances with the Jiang family and couldn't control his hatred."

Zhou Chongzheng narrowed his eyes: "Your Excellency makes it sound so simple, yet you can even tell whether the flute player harbors hatred or not."

"I've heard that the School of Mind-Analysis is very popular in the capital. Have you also been bewitched?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan's expression turned rather unpleasant.

Lin Zhiqing's expression was naturally not good either.

In Shengjing City, everyone knows that the study of mind-reading originated from her Mind-Reading Hall, and it is not even considered popular.

This statement about the Minister of Justice is nothing more than an insinuation that the Minister of Justice has dealings with Lin Zhiqing.

However, it wasn't Lin Zhiqing's turn to speak at this point.

The Minister of Justice snorted coldly:
"If one were to say a few words in support of Lin Zhiqing, it would mean being bewitched. Is Lord Zhou bewitched by the Jiang family?"

This was practically accusing Zhou Chongzheng of colluding with the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion.

Zhou Chong's face turned black:
"I understand your emotions, Your Excellency, that you have family matters to attend to. However, we are currently in a joint trial, and I hope you will not bring your emotions into the courtroom."

"You!" The Minister of Justice was already annoyed by Li Jinzhi's matter, and now that he had been rebuked, he was even more annoyed.

"Ahem!" Seeing that the two were becoming increasingly outrageous, Wang Yuan coughed lightly.
"Lord Zhou, Your Excellency, this is the Court of Judicial Review, not the entrance to the market."

"We are here to hear a case. Do you look even slightly like officials of the imperial court?"
