Tang Lei repeated what he said just now to Su Li.
Then he was in a cold sweat. He felt that the jailer in front of him was harder to deal with than Lord Chen Gong. But that kind of feeling disappeared soon as if it was his illusion.
Before returning to the countertop, Su Li picked up a glass bottle. She squinted at the dark transparent liquid and said gently, “Tang Lei, you can go now. Remember what I said.”
Tang Lei slid the elixir bottle into his arms and thanked Su Li honestly. Then he looked back several times as he walked towards the ground.
When he walked to the stone door, he found that he didn’t know how to open the door.
Suddenly, the stone door was removed automatically. He was caught in the harsh glare of the light. Tang Lei was so frightened that he almost jumped. After calming himself down, he walked into the empty house along the stone stairs and ran to the Ling House immediately.
Chen Gong d
Chen Gong showed a worried expression and left the Affiliated School of the National Academy with Su Li.It was late now. There were few people in the dim street. Chen Gong walked ahead and Su Li followed him. They walked towards the Ministry of Penalty.Suddenly!Another person’s footsteps appeared behind Su Li. The footsteps were so light. It seemed that they came from ghosts and goblins. Chen Gong walked at the front and didn’t notice. He was still engrossed in meditation.Pedestrians passing by thought that the three people knew each other and didn’t perceive anything strange.Su Li, who wore a hat, noticed the person. Her look showed mixed feelings of delight and blame.She was delighted because the man was Fang Yuan and she noticed that he had already reached to the inborn realm and become a senior like Young Master.She blamed him for his rashness. He should come to see her in this situ
“Ah!!”Qu Lu closed her eyes in horror. She shouldn’t have been so miserable with her cultivation, but Fang Yuan was so ruthless and powerful that he dominated her at first.The sword whistled past her face. Although her face wasn’t scratched, it was really painful.But now, Qu Lu didn’t care about the pain on her face. She curled herself up in the corner and pressed her heaved chest. She was still in a state of shock.“He did... not kill me?!”She really thought that Mr. Li ordered Fang Yuan to kill her just now. At this moment, Qu Lu didn’t dare to hide anything from Fang Yuan.“Don’t you want to tell me the truth?”Fang Yuan asked coldly. Qu Lu was so frightened that she trembled and replied instantly, “I will tell you everything. I really hide something from you, but I don’t have any bad intentions. I just doubt.”At this moment, Qu Lu couldn’t wait to tell Fang Yuan everythin
Seeing the young man left, Chen Gong was relieved and turned around. Su Li pretended to be curious. Chen Gong couldn’t help warning, “It is hard to deal with the man. If you encounter him in the future, don’t be noticed by him.”“Who is that childe?”Su Li had already guessed who the childe was, but she pretended to be confused and asked.“Ma Jintian!”Chen Gong said seriously, “Su Li, although you are the lecturer of the Affiliated School, you can’t provoke two playboys in Yunjing. The first is Ling Li of the Ling Family and the second is… Ma Jintian!”Chen Gong thought that he should tell Su Li in detail in order to convince her. So, he sat down and said, “Ling Li, Tang Lei and Ma Jintian are ‘Three Playboys in Yunjing’ and are also called ‘Three Useless Persons in Yunjing’. Ling Li lost his legs. Tang Lei is weak and incompetent. It is easy to deal with both of them. But Ma Jintian… pretends to be incompetent! He is
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
