The lobby of the Criminal Department was very quiet for half an hour. The incense used for timing was lit little by little, and the green smoke gradually dispersed. Chen Chao's face became a little ugly.
Han Pu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He finally aroused the blood of some young people to gamble with others, but did he end up in a miserable defeat?
At this moment, he had no intention of blaming Chen Chao, but he just felt it was a bit ridiculous.
Why did I have this idea before? Is it just because of that relationship?
The faces of the three middle-aged Taoist nuns became better and better, until the incense burned out completely, Xu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone finally fell. He looked at Han Pu and said, "The time has come.
, Mr. Han, it’s time to close the case.”
Perhaps because he was too happy at the moment, his words lost the arrogance and became much gentler.
Yu Ke also nodded with satisfaction. He became extremely happy at this moment. If he were not here, he would even scream.
The middle-aged Taoist nun's hatred for Chen Chao has not diminished. Even though Chen Chao is bound to die now, she is still not satisfied because she did not torture Chen Chao to death. She is even thinking about whether to use some method to torture him to death.
Take this little thief away and torture him slowly.
At this moment, in their view, the overall situation has been decided.
The Imperial Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate sighed quietly, not loudly, but because it was very quiet now, everyone could hear it clearly, except Li Shilang, whose thoughts were not here at all.
Han Pu shook his head and said, "Since you can't produce evidence, I have no choice but to close the case based on the current evidence."
He glanced at the burnt incense stick and asked in a routine manner, "Finally, what else do you want to say?"
This sentence made Xu Yu and the others not very satisfied, but he never said anything because everything had to be decided immediately, so they should and could afford this little time.
Chen Chao's face was ugly. He did have evidence to prove his innocence. Because he was worried that something unexpected would happen in Dali Temple, he asked Song Lian to send the evidence to the academy before entering Dali Temple.
It should be in the hands of that girl now.
Yes, she is in the academy, where she is safe.
But the problem is, according to the agreement, she should appear in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice at this moment, but she did not.
Chen Chao frowned in pain, feeling unwilling to do so.
He didn't expect this result.
Xie Nandu didn't come, so Chen Chao knew something must have happened.
She has done so much for Chen Chao, how could she give up on him at the last moment?
I hope she's okay at the moment.
Chen Chao looked at Han Pu with some apology in his eyes.
But he quickly opened his mouth and said, "I have last words!"
Although he also knew that this was probably the end of the matter, he still wanted to try harder.
Han Pu smiled helplessly, while Xu Yu and the others frowned slightly. Only then did Li Shilang come back to his senses and looked at Chen Chao standing, thinking that the trial was over now?
Du Yushi shook his head.
Chen Chao wanted to say some last words, but his last words had not been spoken yet.
A voice came from outside the hospital.
"Wait a moment."
The girl's clear voice rang out.
next moment.
The Imperial Censor and Li Shilang in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice all stood up. Han Pu was a little reluctant, but he still stood up.
The people in the courtyard looked at the beautiful girl and were a little distracted.
They subconsciously ignored the scholar walking in the front and only paid attention to the good-looking girl.
It's a pity that the officials of the Three Law Departments in the lobby of the Criminal Department are all paying attention to the scholar.
I've said it before.
There are only a very few people in the capital who do not know this scholar.
Most people know this scholar and treat him politely whether they like it or not.
Because this scholar is not only a scholar, but also a student of the dean.
And he is also a very famous student.
Because he is always by the dean's side, this scholar often carries a will that belongs to the dean.
"I've met Mr. Wei."
Li Shilang and Du Yushi spoke at the same time to greet him.
Although Xu Yu and the others have lived outside the country for a long time and do not come to the capital of God often, they do know this scholar. After seeing him now, they had no choice but to bow their hands in greeting.
They lowered their heads not only because this scholar was one of the dean's students, but more importantly, because this scholar was only half a step away from the realm of Wangyou.
At his age, this is an extremely rare thing.
In other words, in just a few years, the scholar in front of him will stand at the top of his practice, become someone they look up to, and become a real big shot in the world.
It's just that the faces of the three of them don't look very good.
Wei Xu returned the favor with a smile, then looked at Han Pu and said, "I wonder if it's too late?"
If the speaker was not Wei Xu, but an ordinary scholar, Xu Yu and the others would naturally be late to speak, but now they could not speak out.
Han Pu looked at Xie Nandu, and he naturally knew the evidence Chen Chao said, and he was afraid that it was in this person.
Just when everyone's eyes and attention were on Mr. Wei, Chen Chao looked at Xie Nandu and said quietly, "If you come a little later, you will have to help me collect the body."
Xie Nandu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "I thought you had thought of all this."
Chen Chao said melancholy, "I'm not a god. How can I imagine that there are still problems?"
Yes, after entering Dali Temple, he thought a lot and made many arrangements in advance, but under all the arrangements, there were still some mistakes.
For example, he didn't expect that even Xie Nandu would be intercepted on the road.
Xie Nandu stretched out his hand, handed the demonic bead to Chen Chao, and said, "Fortunately, I have a senior brother, otherwise I would really have to collect the body for you."
The conversation between the boy and girl as if there was no one around at this moment seemed a little out of place, but in fact it also had some special meaning, especially since both of them were talking to each other.
Looking at this scene, the censor was reminded of the time when he was a boy.
Wei Xu looked at it with a smile, but felt that the young man deserved a beating.
After taking the demon bead, Chen Chao felt completely relieved.
His wealth and life depended on this monster bead.
"Master Han, I have brought my evidence!"
Holding this demon bead, Chen Chao almost jumped for joy.
He almost sold the demonic bead on the black market.
If he really sold it, now his only option would be a dead end.
so far so good.
…
…
The demon bead was quickly delivered to Han Pu, and the scene inside was also shown, which was exactly the scene in the mine.
As soon as he entered the mine that day, Chen Chao knew that he would be in danger this time. In addition to being on guard, he also used this demonic bead to record the scene of that day early on.
He didn't have those secret techniques. If it weren't for this demon bead, he would have been helpless at this moment.
After killing several people at that time, Chen Chao knew that the sect behind them would pursue them. This demon bead was his last resort, but how to make it work was what he had been thinking about.
Looking at the ever-changing scene, the middle-aged Taoist nun's face became more and more ugly, and her mood became more and more heavy.
Xu Yu and Yu Ke looked at each other, and both could see the panic in each other's eyes.
They all knew about the matter of sending disciples to search for dragon veins. As Chen Chao said before, they also knew it was a fact, but they never thought that the real facts would be revealed.
That demon bead is not something special, not even a treasure, but it has the ability to record images like this.
Before this, who would have known that the Chen Dynasty would have such a thing?
"What do you guys want to say?"
Han Pu looked at the three of them and said calmly, "I would also like to hear your explanation."
The three of them looked ugly and said nothing.
"There must be something hidden in it, sir, you can tell it clearly."
Xu Yu spoke, but her voice was no longer loud and a little weak.
Han Pu sneered and said meaningfully, "What a hidden secret."
Voices suddenly appeared in the courtyard expressing support for Chen Chao. Those voices seemed to be able to knock off the roof of the Criminal Department.
There were also sounds outside the hospital.
Emotions of joy and anger are intertwined here.
But I can't tell which of these two emotions is more important.
Han Pu looked at Li Shilang and Du Yushi and said, "The case can be closed now."
Du Yushi asked, "Do you want to go to the palace to ask for an order?"
This matter is really too big. The evidence produced by the three middle-aged Taoist nuns can prove that it was Chen Chao who killed the four Guo Xi people. Chen Chao's current demon bead records the entire process more completely.
This involves the Southern Qi Refiner lineage and Daliang Guoben. Nowadays, the matter is extremely serious. It is normal for him to propose such an idea out of caution.
"No need, His Majesty's previous decree has been very clear. Besides, we are closing this case, and other cases will happen later."
"Then let Mr. Han make a decision."
…
…
"After trial by the Three Justices Division, Tianqing County Governor Chen Chao had a reason for killing the monks without authorization. It was actually an act to protect the country, and he is not guilty!"
…
…
The words were spoken in a loud voice, which was heard in the lobby and the courtyard. The three middle-aged Taoist nuns had dark expressions on their faces. Even if she was extremely angry at this moment, she could not get angry.
What they should be worried about right now is something else.
Chen Chao was extremely happy now, and the previous melancholy and loss were all gone.
Thinking of this, he thought, how could he not say something?
If you think of it, do it.
So after a brief thought, Chen Chao said loudly, "I will never forget that day. Four qi masters, four immortal masters as we call them, and four high-ranking monks were actually in the territory of our country, Daliang Chao."
, Stealing the dragon veins of our Liang Dynasty in front of me. It’s okay if I don’t know about this kind of thing. But now that I know it, I will naturally step forward. Even if I die for this, I will never do it.
No regrets!"
"I've said it before, if this happens a hundred times again, I will make the same choice!"
"Guo Xi and others, this guard will kill one of them whenever he sees one!"
Every word, every word, firm and powerful!
When Chen Chao spoke, he was looking at no one else but the middle-aged Taoist nun.
His voice rang out in the lobby of the Criminal Department, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Han Pu looked at this young man and thought he was so damn...shameless.
Did he really think so at the beginning?
Li Shilang nodded slightly, not sure if it was for Chen Chao.
Looking at such a high-spirited young man, Du Yushi couldn't help but think of his own youth, as if he was similar to him back then.
Wei Xu was carefully looking at the young guard envoy.
Xie Nandu shook his head helplessly.
Xu Yu's face was ashen and she couldn't say a word.
Yu Ke's face was expressionless.
The middle-aged Taoist nun had already endured extremely hard work, and Chen Chao's words were aimed at the Taoist nun. At this moment, she couldn't bear it anymore. She staggered, her energy and blood instantly attacked her heart, and a large mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out.
Pieces of blood flowers spread out.
She was so angry at those words that she vomited blood?!
Looking at this scene, people were a little distracted.
Is this the legendary soldier who conquers the enemy without fighting?
Is this what it means to say that Confucian saints carry the Heavenly Constitution in their mouths?
Chen Chao nodded with satisfaction.
This is the result he wants.
Wei Xu took another look at Chen Chao.
Han Pu came back to his senses, took a deep look at the three middle-aged Taoist nuns, and said calmly, "I'm afraid the three of you will have to stay in the capital of gods for a while."
