In front of hundreds of people in the inner and outer halls, I thought of the more than half a year of my escape, and of the pain and grievances I had suffered during these days. My heart was filled with mixed feelings, my nose felt sour, and I held my neck and shouted loudly.
Said: "I am not guilty!"
When I said this sentence, I almost burst into tears. However, Mei Lang snorted coldly and raised his hand. The Taoist in yellow named Sun Xiaoqin immediately stepped forward and handed over a blue folder.
Then step back carefully.
Raising the folder in his hand, Mei Lang sneered, pointed at me and said: "Lu Zuo, here is the investigation report issued by Zhang Weiguo from the Southwest Bureau's Internal Affairs Investigation Section. It contains the testimonies of all the parties involved, the murder weapon that killed Huang Pengfei, and the day you
The signed confession, everything has formed a complete chain of evidence, proving that you indeed deliberately killed Huang Pengfei - here is also the recorded on-site statement of Bai Lutan, your classmate from the 2009 training camp of the Religious Affairs Bureau,
Do you need me to play it now? Um..."
"Ah, he has already confessed?"
"Yes, yes. Now that he has confessed his guilt, he still dares to appear on our Maoshan Mountain and insist that he is not guilty. Does he really think that there is no one in our Maoshan Mountain? Or does he think that there is no one else on this Maoshan Mountain who can protect him?
Can’t he?”
When Mei Lang took out this complete dossier, the Taoist priests below couldn't help buzzing, whispering to each other, pointing at me, and those with poor self-cultivation even pointed at me.
Angry eyes came - even the elders on the stage had expressionless faces, and their eyes kept looking towards me.
I didn't care about these people who didn't know the truth at all. Instead, I held my head high, stared at Mei Lang, and loudly said word by word: "I am not guilty!"
"You are not guilty, so what is this?"
Mei Lang took out a few copies and scans from the folder, opened the last page, pointed at the red color print and said sternly: "Lu Zuo, you still dare to be so harsh, look at what this is? - This is
You signed your handprint and signature yourself! Do you think that Maoshan is really that unreasonable place? Do you think that without evidence, we will kill you? Lu Zuo, Lu Zuo, you are really too naive!"
Facing Mei Lang's loud accusation, I sneered, raised my hand, and said loudly: "Handprints have made me unconscious. I can press them as long as I want, as many times as I want; as for signatures, there is no way in this world.
How many masters of imitating signatures are there? A cruel official from the Six Gates, using some clumsy methods, wants to convict me. Am I too naive, or are you too dark? "
"So, are you dissatisfied?" Before Mei Lang could speak, an old woman with a flat nose beside him said, squinting her eyes.
I nodded and said loudly: "Yes, I am not convinced, of course I am not convinced! That day, I used my own power to get everyone out of the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, and also brought the evil spirit sect's Fengdu Honglu to the
I even revealed the identity of Wu Linyi in advance. It can be said that without me, not only Huang Pengfei, but also the Red Dragon Hong'an of Tianfu, the two elders of Qingcheng and others who were in the cave at that time, would have been eradicated.
We all have to die. We have made such a great contribution, but due to internal oppression, Lao Xiao and I have no choice but to flee to the end of the world, being hunted down by everyone - if it were you, would you accept it?"
Mei Lang said expressionlessly: "The merits and demerits cannot be offset. Even if you have performed extraordinary merits, you cannot offset the crime of killing Huang Pengfei."
I took a breath, looked back at the people who were looking up at me, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's talk about Huang Pengfei. When we left the cave that day, Bailu Tan had already explained clearly what happened that day.
Understand, it was Huang Pengfei who wanted to kill me while I was unconscious, but I was on guard, suddenly woke up, and fought with him - Huang Pengfei's moves were fatal, either dead or disabled, if I didn't defend myself with heavy blows
, if I had used that woman's compassionate method, I would have been left with a pile of bones and no one would seek justice. I killed Huang Pengfei in self-defense. Bai Lutan told Hong Anzhong at that time that the entire responsibility lay with Huang Pengfei. However, a few days later, no longer
Knowing what kind of deal happened behind the scenes, Bai Lutan changed her confession, and even came to me who was arrested and told me that "their" power was too strong and that I should accept my fate - that is, Bai Lutan's confession made me accept my fate.
I was found guilty of intentional homicide! Well, I want to ask, who are they that Bai Lutan mentioned?"
After hearing my impassioned speech, the onlookers in the hall also started talking, but the law inspector next to me didn't care and let them discuss. In my ears, I heard many people saying, "If this is really the case, it would be too much."
"It's getting dark", but Mei Lang remained unmoved. He smiled coldly and sneered: "There is no basis for what you say. With your yellow mouth and white teeth, who can believe it? You can turn Bailutan into a
Want to confront him?"
I continued what he said: "That's why the strange thing happened. I thought I was going to die, but my friend never left me and came to hijack the car. On the day we fled to the end of the world, Bailutan disappeared mysteriously, and he is still missing today."
There is no news yet, who kidnapped her? This is to silence her so that I can’t find anyone to confront her, right?"
My questioning left Mei Lang speechless. He pretended to be calm on the surface, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Yang Zhixiu, who was silent next to him. However, Yang Zhixiu didn't look at him at all, but instead squinted his eyes, as if he had just watched the ceremony.
, it seems that it has consumed too much of his energy.
When I saw Zamao Xiaodao secretly giving me a thumbs up, I didn’t feel that my submission was just because of the grievances I had suffered over the past six months. On such a grand occasion today, in full view of the public, I finally found my emotions that were about to explode.
The hero bleeds and sheds tears, and I still have to carry the blame everywhere. I have been suffering in my heart for more than half a year. The justice in my heart collapsed and was carefully forged again, in order not to be the one who can avenge the injustice today.
Any chance?
From now on, whether I, as well as the miscellaneous trail, can walk in the sunshine with fairness and justice depends on today.
Hearing my passionate words, the elegant old man on the hiking trail snorted noncommittally. Without getting any prompt from Yang Zhixiu, he ignored it, slapped the folder in his hand, and said easily: "Your
The eloquence is good, and the acting skills are also first-rate, but unfortunately, in modern society, all that matters is evidence. Without evidence, everything you said, in our opinion, is just a superb and emotional performance -
—Lu Zuo, do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence?" I muttered these two words, and my mouth felt bitter.
The witness who was originally the most beneficial to me, Bailu Tan Lard, was deceived. She framed her savior just because she said she was going to frame her. All she did was avoid being punished. What Hong Anzhong saw was just the scene where I killed Huang Pengfei.
For a moment, no one else could see it at all. Even if there was any physical evidence, it was buried by the collapsing mountain. What physical evidence do you want me to produce?
When Mei Lang saw that I was no longer talking, he bowed his hands to the elders around him and said that this man's tongue was as cunning as a lotus flower. If he continued to argue like this, it would be meaningless. Everyone, why don't we take a vote?
Everyone really feels that this man is guilty, and they need to trouble Senior Brother Liu to personally take action to capture the murderer of Peng Fei and bring him to justice.
The elders on the stage exchanged glances. Some nodded in agreement, while others also had doubts. However, the matter between Huang Pengfei and me was not the focus of today, so some people nodded one after another, but at this moment, they were silent.
The eldest brother suddenly took a step forward, raised his hands to the stage and said, "Speaker, fellow apprentices, Zhicheng has something to say."
"Let's talk!" Chen Zhicheng's status in the court was here, so naturally no one would stop him from speaking.
The senior brother still bowed to everyone on the stage and in the audience, and then said calmly: "Uncle Mei talked about the evidence. In fact, this is what Zhicheng has been doing recently. To be honest, subjective intentional homicide and passive self-defense
If the witnesses present cannot guarantee their own impartiality, it will be difficult to distinguish murder. Under the premise of "never wrong a good person and never let a bad person go", I finally made some small discoveries after trying in various aspects.
, I hope all of you, uncles, can take a look."
No one was interested. The senior brother quickly took out the evidence. The senior brother flipped his wrist and took out a rhizome of the lover's vine, which was wrapped with golden silk thread. The senior brother held up the object and said that everyone should know this thing.
It's called Thousand Miles Photo, and it's actually a camera-like method in Taoism. I have an undercover agent risking his life to get it from the Evil Spirit Cult.
He asked the speaker Yang Zhixiu for instructions, and after receiving permission, he carefully placed the Thousand Miles Teleportation Image on the ground, then took out a small bottle of liquid from his arms and poured it on the lover vine. As the juice moistened, the stems began to grow.
A green light emitted from the surface, which was then projected into the sky.
The image formed by the light gave me a very familiar feeling immediately. The lens was stretched out, and it turned out to be Huiming's wife, the old lady Ke. Not far from her, there was a foggy spirit that was constantly swaying. Someone seemed to be there.
Communicate with the old lady to distract attention, while the foggy spirit talks to the person who controls the camera: "...I was almost able to kill Lu Zuo that day - why did I kill him?
Don't you idiot think that he just saved me and we can write it off. He and I are old enemies. If I can't kill him in the training camp, I will kill him in the hell cave. It's a pity that the success falls short, Bai Lu
That damn bitch Tan is timid, and Lu Zuo suddenly woke up again. Not only did I fail to kill him, but I was killed by him..."
As the dim sound gradually became clearer, my heart finally became excited, because this guy was Huang Pengfei himself.
At that moment, I borrowed a famous saying from Emperor Li Yi later to express my mood: "It's dawn!"
