Chapter 194: Chapter 188: Jiang Cheng, Do You Know Your Crime?_3

“Bring in the suspect Jiang Cheng,” commanded Pang Yuan.

Jiang Cheng was led into the hall by two constables.

“Jiang Cheng, Prince Liang Chu is dead. Do you know that?”

With a calm expression, Jiang Cheng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, “I know.”

“He died from your Talisman. Do you know that?”

“It’s impossible for him to die from my Talisman.”

Pang Yuan didn’t want to waste words and said to the advisor beside him, “Read.”

The advisor took out a scroll and began, “According to the testimony of Sun from the Prince Mansion, ‘His Highness held several Talismans, which immobilized me and my sisters…’”

“Enough, enough, no need for such detail. Next,” Pang Yuan hastily gestured.

“According to the testimony of the lead courtesan of Jiaofang Division, Huayang, ‘The Fourth Prince had a kind of Talisman, I recognize it, it’s some kind of Willpower Empowerment Talisman, its effects extremely fierce, with the Talisman unexpired, he was invincible. I had heard other sisters mention it, I didn’t believe it at the time…’”

“Stop! Jiang Cheng, these are the remaining Talismans we found inside the Fourth Prince’s clothes,” Pang Yuan picked up the “evidence” in the plastic bag and continued, “They have the Fourth Prince’s fingerprints on them. It can be proved he used your Talisman. Now that we have both the culprit and the evidence, what more sophistry can you offer?”

Jiang Cheng argued logically, “Just because he used my Talisman doesn’t necessarily mean the Talisman caused his death. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that I am responsible for the death of the Fourth Prince.”

Wei Chenhan felt irritable looking at how Jiang Cheng was arguing.

They had been pushed by their superiors to handle the situation, already under enough pressure, yet this obstinate civilian showed not a hint of consideration for officials.

Wei Chenhan transmitted his thoughts telepathically: “Why waste words with him? A few strikes from a plank, and he’ll confess to everything.”

Pang Yuan thought the same. Jiang Cheng had no backing, so why bother being polite?

Let’s deal with the punishment first.

“The suspect roars in the court, disrespectful to the officials, twenty beatings!”

Jiang Cheng warned, “Your Honor, please be prudent. According to Liang Law, the misuse of punishment will be held to account afterward. Depending on the severity, one could be dismissed and imprisoned at the highest penalty.”

Pang Yuan laughed angrily, “Are you an official of the court? Do you understand Liang Law better than I do? So you wish to hold me responsible? Fine, if you can, then do so. Guards, the suspect shows contempt for the court, no respect for the law, add another twenty!”

Just as an officer grabbed Jiang Cheng’s arm, a clear shout came from a distance: “I’d like to see who dares to touch him!”

Li Qingge descended like a meteor, thrusting her hand forward, and the two officers beside Jiang Cheng were instantly sent flying, coughing up blood and retreating non-stop!

Furious, Pang Yuan shouted, “Where did this wild Core Formation cultivator come from? How dare they make trouble in the Ministry of Justice! Call Vice Commander Han to suppress them!”

Vice Commander Han Zhengyu of the Imperial Army was about to take action, but suddenly felt an overwhelming Nascent Soul-level pressure enveloping the court!

“Who are you calling a wild breed?”

A stern-faced woman of stunning appearance appeared within the court.

Pang Yuan and the others didn’t recognize Li Qingge, but they recognized this woman — the Helmsman of Taixu Sect in Liang Kingdom, also Chancellor of Qinghe Xuanran University, a late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, Shang Yufeng.

“Pang Yuan, such authority, do you remember me, Shang?” Shang Yufeng said with a cold smile.

Weak at the knees, Pang Yuan thought to himself that it was over.

Desperately, he sought help through Divine Sense: Who said Jiang Cheng had no backing? Dammit, the head of the university had been alarmed! Now that a Nascent Soul Cultivator had arrived, what should we do?

“Thankfully, it’s just the Taixu Sect; they don’t have deep roots in our kingdom, they can’t shake us. There shouldn’t be a problem,” said Wei Chenhan with relief.

Wang Weien: “If I remember correctly, Jiang Cheng isn’t a student from Qingxuan University; he’s from Lotus University.”

Wei Chenhan, Pang Yuan: ???

Could it be…

Three figures crashed into the Ministry of Justice like meteors.

They were Guo Xiuyuan, Gao Miao, and the Dean of Lotus University’s Treasure and Talismans Academy, a mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, Jian Youqiu.

Jian Youqiu was a sprightly old man who, stroking his beard, said, “Look at this, we meet fellow cultivators from another sect here. What? Did your school also have a student apprehended?”

Pang Yuan and the others felt tingling on their scalps.

They had seen the Immortal Sects protect their own before.

But the protection by two major Immortal Sects together was indeed a first!

Just what was Jiang Cheng’s background?

Could it be that both major Immortal Sects were here for him alone?

“Honorable Lords,” Jiang Cheng spoke, drawing the gaze of everyone present.

After all, it was because of him that they all had gathered.

Jiang Cheng was polite, “Honorable Lords, you mentioned earlier that I roared in the court, showing no respect for the law, a claim I disagree with. But the ones who came later, in my view, certainly roared in the court and showed no regard for the law. Now that we have both the suspects and the evidence, I request you to order them to be punished!”

The hall fell silent.

Jiang Cheng’s voice was firm, “Please issue the order!”

Pang Yuan stood frozen, daring not to make a move.
