Your Majesty, you don’t want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 8 Imperial Envoy, Li Yunshu
above the lobby.

As soon as Gao Gong sat down, he felt something was wrong.

At this time, the outside of the lobby was full of people, and everyone was staring at him.

He twitched his fingers at the catcher, gesturing for him to come forward.

"Why are so many people gathering outside the hall?"

In the capital city of Gyeonggi Province, a murder was committed in the street. For such a big case, he should hear it in the lobby, and he could not prevent the people from watching.

However, he really didn't expect so many people to come.

“Sir, as soon as Zhao Yi died, the news immediately spread in the capital.

They knew that the murderer had been arrested, so they all ran to the government office. "

Hearing this, Gao Gong also understood.

The things Zhao Yi did made many people and casual cultivators itch with hatred.

Now that he is dead, these people naturally applaud.

In their eyes, Li Yunshu was not a murderer, but a hero who saved the world.

Snapped!
In order to shock everyone, the gavel in his hand fell heavily.

"Ascension!"

Soon, Zhao Yi's housekeeper was brought to the court.

"You are knocking on the government office door to cry a drum of grievance. What's the point of grievance?"

The butler bowed.

"Sir, I want to sue Li Yunshu, a Taoist priest from Jingmingguan, for killing my son Zhao Yi in the street."

"Take Li Yunshu!"

Gao Gong already knew the general details of the matter, and this was simply a hot potato for him.

The business in Lingqi Blessed Land involves many things, so he couldn't help but think about it too much.

He would never believe that a mere Li Yunshu would dare to kill someone in the street without anyone's backing.

There is still no clue to the disappearance case, and now another murder case has emerged, implicating both the empress and the Minister of Punishment.

No matter how the case is decided, one party is destined to be offended.

The only thing he can do now is to delay as much time as possible, and then slowly judge the direction of the wind in the future.

Soon, Li Yunshu was escorted up.

He glanced at the people sitting in the lobby and confirmed that he had seen them last night.

Not only because of his appearance, but also because of the entry above his head, he would never remember it wrong.

Snapped!
As the gavel fell again, Gao Gong asked knowingly.

"Who is next?"

Li Yunshu stood with his hands behind his back.

"Imperial envoy, Li Yunshu."

He deliberately said the word "imperial envoy" very seriously, and at the same time looked at Gao Gong.

"I don't know why your Excellency sent people to arrest me?"

"What's the matter?"

The corner of Gao Gong's mouth twitched. There were all the witnesses and physical evidence, but he still wanted to deny it.

What a master at pretending to be confused!
Snapped.

This time, Gao Gong slapped the gavel much softer.

"Someone reported that you killed Zhao Yi in the street. Do you admit this?"

Li Yunshu nodded.

"Yes."

Gao Gong opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to ask more questions, but he didn't expect the other party to admit it directly.

If something went wrong, there must be a monster, and he felt even more uneasy.

In shock, Gao Gong's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure—Zhao Youde!

He raised his eyes slightly and immediately looked at the people gathered outside the lobby.

At this time, Zhao Youde, the Minister of Punishment, was standing in the front row of the crowd.

Only then did Gao Gong notice that Zhao Youde had been standing among the crowd of onlookers, watching him try the case.

His eyelids drooped slightly, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

Now Li Yunshu clearly relied on the power of the empress and used his identity as an imperial envoy to speak out.

Zhao Youde has been standing outside the hall to supervise the work, putting pressure on him invisibly.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly glowed with energy, and his soul was blessed.

Zhao Youde is the Minister of Punishment. Since he wants to try it, why not give the case to the other party.

Since it is a murder case, it must be transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review after it is closed. "

All he needed to do was to charge Li Yunshu with a major or minor crime, close the case and transfer it to the Criminal Department.The Ministry of Punishment will definitely review and retry him. As for how Zhao Youde will be tried, it has nothing to do with her.

Even if the empress wanted to blame, she couldn't blame herself.

As for what crime Li Yunshu will be sentenced in the end, it all depends on the wishes of the Ministry of Punishment.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Gao Gong's lips, and he had to admire his own wit.

Snapped!
Gao Gong said loudly with a slap on the gavel.

"Now that you have confessed your sin, according to the law—"

"Wait a minute!" Li Yunshu raised his hand to interrupt Gao Gong's words, and then asked, "Master Fu Yin, what is the law for beating an imperial envoy?"

Gao Gong subconsciously spoke.

"The crime deserves to be executed prematurely, and the three tribes of barbarians will be destroyed——"

As soon as the word 'clan' came out of his mouth, he suddenly reacted.

Zhao Yi beat Li Yunshu?
If this is the case, then things will be difficult to handle.

He turned to look at the catcher with a questioning look.

The head catcher could only lower his head at this time and pretend not to see.

He only knew that Li Yunshu killed someone in the street, but did not know that he was beaten by Zhao Yi.

Gao Gong took a deep breath, already having a bad feeling in his heart.

From the moment Li Yunshu entered the court, he felt something was wrong.

A murderer is so confident in front of him that he must have someone to rely on.

At first, he simply thought that Li Yunshu was relying on the support of the empress, so he dared to act recklessly.

Only now did he realize that he was waiting for him here.

However, even if he figured out the cause and effect of the matter, the case had to continue to be tried.

"You mean Zhao Yi hit you?"

Li Yunshu nodded, then looked behind him.

"There were many people in the village at that time. They were witnesses. You will know if you ask."

Zhao Yi bullied others too much and left no escape route for him.

Don't push honest people into a hurry, otherwise they won't even have a chance to kneel down.

As soon as Li Yunshu finished speaking, someone in the crowd spoke.

"It's wrong, I can testify!"

Someone took the lead, and others followed immediately.

"I can also testify!"

"I testify!"

“We saw it all with our own eyes!”

At this moment, regardless of whether they saw it or not, the people were all outside the hall shouting to be witnesses.

Many of them have been ruined for their entire lives because of the Zhao family's blessed land of spiritual energy.

Zhao Yi's death was a great relief to them.

Seeing this, Li Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief.

He just wants to use the people's support and his status as an imperial envoy to put pressure on the government.

In this way, even if the empress does not come forward, he cannot be convicted.

Looking at the angry crowd, Gao Gong took several shots of the gavel.

"Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!"

He originally wanted to throw this hot potato to the Ministry of Justice, but now that such a commotion has occurred, Li Yunshu has a reason to kill.

If he was directly acquitted, how should he explain to Zhao Youde?

boom!
Outside the lobby, an astonishing wave of air swept across, and the onlookers were blown back a few steps before they could stop themselves.

The original echoes stopped abruptly, and the people watching stared at the person in the center of the crowd with some fear.

Zhao Youde stared at Li Yunshu with a gloomy look. He knew that he had to speak at this time, otherwise things would be out of control.

"Anyone who roars in court, Gaofu Yin, will be punished with twenty sticks at the least, and exiled to Lingnan at the worst."

Li Yunshu glanced at Zhao Youde, raised his head slightly, and saw the other party's entry.

[The revenge of killing a son is irreconcilable. Li Yunshu, you die! 】

Hey!
Li Yunshu's eyes widened and he leaned back strategically.

Vengeance against murder?
"May I ask who you are?"

Zhao Youde snorted coldly.

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhao Youde!"
