Chapter 54: So What if It’s Repeated a Hundred Times?

Han Pu who was seated in the main seat had a calm expression when he saw the evidence that was sent over. Waving his hand, there was naturally someone who delivered it in front of the Minister of Penalty's desk for him to examine it. The Minister of Penalty glanced at it and found that the evidence was extremely detailed. It was just that many things only stopped at the surface, the content of real interest was not detailed in it. Clearly, the existence who investigated him had already grasped even more details, but he still left some leeway for him and did not want to truly expose his relationship with the foreign land cultivators. However, it was actually expressing a fact like this.

This was a threat that was also very ingenious.

The Minister of Penalty looked at the youth over there. He did not know who was behind him. But the current him just felt rather anguished.

The Minister of Penalty sat down dejectedly. His expression kept changing and in the end, he said weakly, "There's indeed such a thing."

Although his voice was not loud, it transmitted out.

The common populace in the courtyard immediately started scolding. They even temporarily put aside their fear of cultivators at this point. How could they care about such a Minister of Penalty?

He ate the Great Liang Dynasty's food but did these things. This would naturally infuriate them.

That so-called prestige was not something that they cared about at this moment.

Han Pu waved his hand, "Take the Lord Minister away and have Vice Minister Li come over."

Since no more news came out of the palace, Han Pu could understand the emperor's thoughts too.

The head of the Ministry of Penalty was the minister, but there were still two left and right vice ministers.

Soon, the skinny Vice Minister Li arrived here. He clasped his hands and bowed towards Han Pu, "This lowly official pays respect to Lord Han."

"Be seated. Since the Lord Minister can't try the case anymore, Vice Minister Li will take his place."

Han Pu glanced at the few cultivators by the side. Then, he turned his gaze to Chen Chao who was standing in the hall. He also did not know what other means this boy had. But no matter how it looked, his preparations were not limited to this.

After Chen Chao requested for the Minister of Penalty to leave, he did not speak anymore. This was naturally a situation that he had long envisioned. The moment he entered the Court of Judicial Review, he was hit by a scheme that did not look too serious. Although later, Han Pu resolved it for him in time, Chen Chao knew that there would naturally still be many eyes and ears of those foreign cultivators in the Court of Judicial Review.

Therefore, when Xie Nandu came to see him previously, although he had many things that he wanted to tell this Xie Family's talented daughter, Chen Chao still did not say it explicitly. In the end, the two people talked about the stove and talked about sweet potatoes. It was actually having talked about everything.

Since the Three Judicial Chief Ministries were trying him, how could Chen Chao not make preparations?

Investigating these Three Judicial Chief Ministries' officials was a must.

After Xie Nandu understood what Chen Chao meant, she returned and made the Xie Family investigate the Three Judicial Chief Ministries' officials. The Court of Judicial Review's Han Pu had always been a famously solitary minister in the Great Liang Dynasty. He did not have cliques normally, making it even more unlikely for him to have ties with foreign cultivators. The Court of Censors' minister had always been honest and upright. Regardless of whether was it with the officials in court or with foreign cultivators, he did not have many ties to them and kept his hands clean.

Only that Minister of Penalty had always had some unexplainable connections to the foreign cultivators.

Hence, Chen Chao knew right from the start that the Minister of Penalty would definitely be standing on the foreign cultivators' side.

There were two reasons for forcing this Minister of Penalty away. Firstly, it was to clip the wings of foreign cultivators in the Three Judicial Chief Ministries. The other was to invoke the empathy of these civilians who were watching.

That was something extremely important.

Things kept on brewing and information kept being transmitted out.

......

......

After changing people, the trial would naturally have to restart.

Before the case was finished being tried, that boy was not convicted. The Great Liang Dynasty could totally say that he was innocent. If the daoist nun killed Chen Chao, it would be without justification instead.

The whisk parted and the strands smacked over, akin to a raging tide slamming against the shore.

But, the current Han Pu was akin to a sea of blood. How could he be what the daoist nun, these two or three waves, could move?

The two people exchanged blows briefly and the daoist nun immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Soon, the middle-aged daoist nun was knocked back dozens of feet, while Han Pu remained unmoving from where he was.

"Immortal Master Wang, don't you understand where this place is? This is the Divine Capital. It's the Ministry of Penalty, not your Three Streams Manor. I'm afraid that you still have to show some restraint, right?"

Han Pu was expressionless. But in actuality, he was extremely furious too. Making a move right in front of him was actually no different from slapping him in the face.

The middle-aged daoist nun had fury written all over her face. But, she also understood that she was not Han Pu's match. At this moment, her anger dissipated a little. She also knew that if she really took action here, the severity of the consequences was not what she could bear.

Xu Yu took a deep breath and said softly, "Lord Han, please forgive her."

It was a very difficult thing to be able to make these foreign cultivators lower their heads in the first place.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to lower his head.

Han Pu said with a sneer, "If Immortal Master Wang behaves like this, this official feels that there's some secret instead. Otherwise, why would she be so impatient? If Warden Chen is really guilty, he'll naturally be punished by the Great Liang Dynasty's laws, why would you need to personally take action?"

"You..."

The middle-aged daoist nun snorted coldly, her expression ugly to the extreme. But, she did not say anymore. She just returned to her seat and said nothing.

Indeed, she should not be acting like this in the Divine Capital.

Xu Yu and Yu Ke sat back down too.

Han Pu glanced at Chen Chao. He could not help but admire this youth. With just a sentence, he made those three cultivators lose their minds. Just this cunningness alone made the youth in front of him worthy of admiration.

It was just that...

This time, without waiting for Han Pu to speak, Chen Chao said, "I said earlier that I killed them because they wanted to kill me, this wasn't my motive for killing them. I wanted to kill them because they really deserved to die. Even if I was made to choose a hundred times, I'd still kill them!"

He was very calm when he spoke. But, it was this calmness that made the expressions of those three cultivators became grim until it turned completely black.

Han Pu asked, "Why do you say that?"

Chen Chao took a deep breath and slowly said, "Putting aside that Guo Xi planted a wicked spell on County Chief Mi, let's also disregard that these people had the intention to kill me before we entered the mines, just based on their purpose of going to the mine, I'll definitely kill them."

Hearing this, Xu Yu frowned slightly, while Yu Ke had a livid expression. As for that middle-aged daoist nun, hatred welled up in her heart once again.

The scene became very quiet. No one spoke, everyone was waiting for the answer.

Han Pu narrowed his eyes and that Vice Minister Li looked at Chen Chao very seriously. The Minister of Censors also opened his eyes.

The civilians in the courtyard were very quiet.

Chen Chao said very seriously, "Those few people didn't go to the mines for the profound lineage, they went to steal our Great Liang Dynasty's dragon vein!"

The moment this sentence came out, the entire place became deathly silent.
