With wine on his face, Chen Gong was very confused.
The shabby scholar wasn’t surprised any more. He had a few coughs and then he noticed that Chen Gong’s face was covered with wine. He picked up a rag at once, wiped Chen Gong’s face, and persuaded Chen Gong in whisper,
“My dear brother, stop investigating the case and leave it to the Supreme Judiciary. Otherwise, you will be in trouble. At that time, even I can’t save you!”
Hearing that, Chen Gong changed his expression. He grabbed the hands of the shabby scholar and said, “The Majesty ordered me to find the murderer within eight days. It can’t be delayed!”
The shabby scholar picked his ears and hinted, “Don’t you already arrest a family of scapegoats? My dear brother, you are a cruel official of the Dahan Country. Don’t you have any means to let the Su Family plead guilty?”
“I have.”
Chen Gong stared at the shabby scholar and replied seriously, “But I do
It was fine on August 14.Tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the extremely important sacrificial festival in the Dahan Country.There was unrestrained lively atmosphere of sacrificial festival for the autumn harvest everywhere in Yunjing City. But the Curtilage of the Ministry of Penalty was full of coldness and graveness.Today, the Ministry of Penalty would try the case about the Baiwei Building.A large number of people heard the news. They came to the entrance of the Ministry of Penalty early in the morning. The front door of the Ministry of Penalty had been closed for a long time. But it was pulled open suddenly by jailers at 7:00 a.m. Then grave and serious officers and soldiers marched in step from the trial hall to the place where people stood. The trial hall was heavily guarded.The crowd was in tumult. Chen Gong who was in official uniform walked from the back hall and sat behind the middle desk. He glance
It was silent in the trial hall and the sound of a falling pin could be heard. The atmosphere was weird.Everyone had a different expression, but they all stared at Cui Ziliang and Su Li.Cui Ziliang said loudly. His voice passed through the courtyard and people who looked at the scene outside could hear him. It immediately caused a commotion.“It was Su Li who had done it!”“It’s terrible. Su Huanli is her father. Even if he is selfish, did she have to kill the innocent people in revenge?”“The young girl is so vicious and must be killed!”“She doesn’t deserve the title of the ‘most talented girl in Yunjing City’. Some people preached that she is not only innocent and kind, but also versatile. I almost believe them.”“Su Xiuxiu looks down upon the civilians, but she is not so vicious. After this incident, it seems that the title of ‘the most talented girl in Yunjing’ will be back to Miss Su..
The situation changed too fast and there was no time for Chen Gong to think much. He immediately took advantage of an opportunity and said, “I don’t think it is right to close the case in a hurry. Since both Lord Sang and Lord Wei have this willingness, I will continue to interrogate!”Su Zipei was battered out of her senses. She knelt next to Su Li, but she was like a rag that was forgotten in the corner and no one looked at her at all. It seemed that only Cui Ziliang heard what she just said and that everyone else turned a deaf ear.Why?!Su Zipei’s eyes flashed with much unwillingness. She tightly clenched the tips of her hands hidden in sleeves. Her whole body trembled slightly. She looked extremely bitter and a little scared!She had done so many things, but... she still couldn’t defeat Su Li, could she?The witch who had died once said Su Li was such a survivor. Her words turned out to be true.At th
It was night. Dongfang Sheng and Wu Jin were in the First Prince’s Mansion.Crack!Dongfang Sheng was full of anger and threw the files to Wu Jin’s face violently. Then, the files fell onto the ground.“This is the good tactic you mentioned? Um?!”Dongfang Sheng was going crazy and pointed to Wu Jin. His finger was close to getting to the nostril of the latter. He said, “At first you said that this tactic was flawless. Now everyone in Yunjing City know that the Hehuan Sect should be responsible for the case. How can I explain it to the people of the Hehuan Sect?”Wu Jin felt embarrassed. He slowly bent down and picked up the files. He was suddenly savage, and after he got up, he restored equilibrium. He said in a low voice, “First Prince, there is no need to panic. I have remedies.”“What remedies? Childe Wu, can you tell me?”Before Wu Jin finished his words, a sweet female voice came from ou
After leaving the Supreme Judiciary, Su Li changed her looks. She changed into the young man who met Qu Lu in the Hongyan House. She went to the street where the Linli Building was located.It was August 15 again and lanterns were hung up in front of every household. Although the alley was secluded, the children played in the street. The poor people squatted beside their doors. They watched their children while they were picking vegetables. When Su Li saw the picture, she felt a little warm.After watching it for a while, Su Li saw the proprietress of the Zhouyue Winery carrying a swill bucket. Su Li immediately came to her sense and walked into the Linli Building that had been opened.Su Li and the proprietress saw each other at the same time. After the proprietress poured swill, she saw the high building whose door was opened. She pondered and scolded, “Black sheep... The restaurant is not only remote but also silent. The money for building i
“Master, I am not very clear about the matter you asked. How about asking my boss when he comes back?”Qu Qingning scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. But he was in a cold sweat on his back. If Su Li had not reminded him, he would have found other excuses to prevaricate. But in that case, it was not conformed to his identity of a waiter. This old woman’s question seemed to be simple, but there were lots of traps actually. It was hard to prevent!“Oh! Oh, I am stupid... Never mind.”The fat proprietress said politely and relaxed her vigilance. She released the shabby scholar’s hands imperceptibly.“Darling, be careful. The wine was almost spilled out...”The shabby scholar complained bitterly and finally had his first taste.When the spicy wine just entered his throat and passed his stomach, he felt warm from the bottom of his belly. The shabby scholar marveled with blear eyes. It seemed that he wa
Su Li arrived at the Su House by nightfall. Li Yuelian and Su Huanli were busy in preparing for the festival, and the Su House finally had a festive atmosphere. But Su Li didn’t see Su Zipei and Zhu Yan. The Old Lady was fascinated by the Buddha and stayed in her room. Except for servants, the Su House was desolate.“Miss, you are back!”Mammy Li quickly handed a towel to Su Li to wipe her face. The maids behind her immediately shouted tidily,“Second Miss!”“Second Miss!”“...”She was not familiar with these servants because she never saw them before. Su Li could not help but ask, “Mammy, they...”Mammy Li knew what she was asking. She quickly took Su Li to the room as she said, “Miss, First Master came back during the day. These servants are brought back by him.”Su Li pondered and didn’t ask any other questions. But she was secretly vigilant inside. The Eldest Brother clearly
Su Qingtan followed Ling Qinglan into the study and he was stunned.Why did the study be the same as before?Qiyu Xuangong was undoubtedly a real evil martial art. Su Qingtan practiced it and his inner demons came out frequently. Ling Qinglan suppressed Su Qingtan’s inner demons with the extremely coldness. The whole study was like a cold place in the north and there was a layer of frost in the surface of the study.During the ten days, Su Qingtan had frostbite all over his body, but he passed through the first phase of the Qiyu Xuan Gong. He sobered up from the unconscious situation and would never be wholly controlled by seven affections and six desires.Even Ling Qinglan was surprised by Su Qingtan’s change. He thought that Su Qingtan would need at least one month to sober himself up on the basis of his will. He didn’t expect that it only took Su Qingtan ten days.“Now, your inner demons in your body are stabilized,
Qu Liancheng watched the scene in silence because he was an accomplice. At this moment, he was at a loss except to remain silent.After adding an extra layer of protection for Bai Su, Ling Li dodged over to the Many-faced Witch, who had almost melted into a pile of flesh, and spoke calmly, "You've been cheated."A look of relief spread over the human face amidst the flesh, "I have sinned countless times in my life and deserve to die, but it is a pity that I couldn't drag him to die with me.""I'll let him accompany you in the hell."Ling Li looked up at the dispersing dark clouds. He was born in the Qingshui Circle and had never slaughtered mortals. The fight between practitioners couldn't cause the natural law to blast down the Destroy Thunder.In other words, Bai Mo could do nothing to him."Be careful. He... must have a backup plan."The human face amidst the flesh gradually couldn't
"Cough cough cough..."Fang Huaji fell in the ruins and threw back his head to laugh loud while coughing blood, "It's worthy of being a thunder for testing that even the Great Lord couldn't withstand. I provoked the slaughter, so it is natural for me to withstand the Destroy Thunder. But your thunder seems weak and has failed to kill me once, hahaha cough..."Bai Ming raised his eyebrows and bent his finger to flick. In an instant, another bucket-thick thunder rushed down from the dark clouds and directly ground Fang Huaji's bones to dust. At the same time, his laughter stopped abruptly.Fang Huaji was dead!Bai Su was not hesitant about this and just stared at the ground with the blood-red veins still on it.Bai Ming frowned slightly. This was indeed out of his expectation. Who but a Great Emperor could support the operation of such vast veins?"Well, just destroy it..."As Bai Ming wa
Unexpectedly, Fang Huaji received the thunder for testing into his hands. Did a Great Emperor... have such a powerful strength?With a cold snort, Fang Huaji drew opening a round portal with his right hand and then threw the light in his grip into it, "I don't dare to accept this 'great gift'. Here you are."As soon as Fang Huaji finished speaking, a round portal appeared above the Fate Palace. The violent thunder blasted down, but it directly dissipated into the air when approaching the Fate Palace.Fang Huaji coldly snorted at this and didn't care at all."Everyone, my refining weapons are under your feet. As long as you are willing to fight for the Qingshui Circle, you can take up them. Mortals can kill practitioners in the Zhuji Realm with them! Practitioners in the Zhuji Realm can kill the ones in the Jindan Realm with them! By analogy, if you are in nature's test, you can even join forces to kill a Junior Emperor. The
Su Li was sitting in the hall on the first floor. She was unsure whether her blood poison had diminished, but her only certainty was that even a Junior Emperor had no way out about her poison. Even though her blood poison had diminished a lot, it was also very likely to achieve the effect of poisoning the one in the Jindan Realm.Without waiting too long, Su Li saw the female practitioner who had just left and was rushing over, with the unfaded fear in her eyes. Immediately, she calmed down."Senior, our administrator invites you to the top floor for a detailed discussion."Su Li didn't scare in the slightest and chuckled, "It seems to receive a good effect."It was far superior to that!The female practitioner wore a sincere smile and led the way respectfully. After receiving the senior in such a position, her reward might be beyond expectation.A while later, they arrived at the top floor, and the
Hua Yan was surprised and suddenly enlightened. Su Li once went to see Fang Ling alone in the dungeon. After coming out, she didn't release Fang Ling, but she withdrew the punishment in the dungeon and simply imprisoned Fang Ling.Did Fang Ling take a risk to reveal something to Su Li at that time?Hua Yan pondered for a moment, and her attention was soon attracted by Mei Ruohan's broken spell, "So you can tell those secrets now? Who is the Many-faced Witch?"Mei Ruohan closed her eyes and sighed, "I don't know who she's playing. She is good-looking and young. She likes to wear a faint yellow imperial costume. Sometimes she stands in a pure white palace, sometimes she is in a luxurious golden hall, and sometimes old women in grey robes walk around her, looking like elders...""Yin Lin!"Qu Qingning interrupted Mei Ruohan's description with an astonished look, "She's the Head of Huangxing Hall, Yin Lin! In this c
Qu Liancheng kept a straight face but was appalled inside. His cultivation was superior to Qu Qingning's. However, was he seen through by this junior?Was "Qiyu Evil Martial Art" really so powerful?Thinking of this, Qu Liancheng was suddenly stunned. He unleashed his divine awareness, only to find that Qu Qingning's holy method had advanced at a terrifying speed and even his cultivation had secretly soared to the late stage to be in nature's test!In less than a month, Qu Qingning had skipped four realms of the holy method in a row. Did he directly skip one big realm and three small realms?He was only a step away from being a Junior Emperor!What was more, if Qu Liancheng hadn't come here on a sudden whim today, the Holy Boy of the Ankui Valley would probably complete "Qiyu Evil Martial Art" within a few months and rise to become the elder of the Ankui Valley.Qu Liancheng thought it was very ridi
In the wild wind, Fang Huaji's withered face was as calm as still water and his white hair was fluttering behind.He was waiting for the blood-red veins to spread throughout the Qingshui Circle.No matter who tried to stop him at this stage, he wouldn't hold his hand."Senior."With hair disheveled, Bai Su knelt beside Fang Huaji and was in a state of utter disarray. He looked up at Fang Huaji, and starlight welled up in his eyes."Do you know I've divined? Do you know... What had I seen after the war started?""What is it?"Fang Huaji seemed to be in a good mood and even asked Bai Su with an obscure smile on his face, "Will I win or lose?"Bai Su's eyes turned grave, "The Tianhe Sect will be destroyed!""Oh."Fang Huaji nodded indifferently and turned to Bai Su, who looked serious, continuing, "So what? I wonder if I win... or lose? Didn’t you see
Just as the Ni Sect assembled 27 holy sects to head for the Tianhe Sect, the world of the Chuangxing Path had passed several days.Su Li gradually figured out the daily routine of her adoptive mother and Duan Hongchen's childhood. The Jin family was rich, but this small courtyard seemed to have been forgotten by them, and Duan Hongchen had lived the life of a poor mortal.Today was the day she made her regular trip to the market to barter the extra vegetables for money, which was also her only free day every month.Su Li's adoptive mother didn't seem to be worried about her getting lost and always let her go alone every time. Su Li guessed that her adoptive mother might take this opportunity to observe her, so she didn't intend to show any abnormality.The Jin family seemed to be the top family in Fanglong City and had its mansion occupied a prime location. Not long after leaving the Jin's, Su Li saw the market archway from
When Hua Yan left the hall, Bai Su also stood up and left to make preparations.The grand elders of 27 sects looked at each other in silence for a moment and then closed their eyes for rest. Because attacking the Fate Palace was the most important thing now, they would rather wait here for the result than leave.In the secret room, the divination items Bai Su requested were soon ready.Hua Yan stood aside, quietly watching as Bai Su was burning incense with a devout look. After finishing that, Bai Su stood up, and Hua Yan finally couldn't help but speak."Does divination have an effect on you?"Bai Su paused and soon looked up with a smile, "Divination is to calculate nature's mystery. It is a great disrespect. Even a mortal's birth chart will be damaged by calculation, let alone I am calculating the cultivation circle. But whether it has any effect or not is of little significance to me at the moment."
