After a brief silence, Xia Yuanlong said sharply again: "Xia Lie, for the sake of King Huainan, I will ask you one last time, are you the real murderer?"
"No, sir!" Xia Lie replied without hesitation.
"Very good, I hope you won't disappoint me!"
After saying that, Xia Yuanlong made a gesture, and the eunuch Li Zongming immediately understood it and called out in his high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty, move to the Imperial Capital Academy!"
Xia Lie's previous voice made the King of Great Xia shaken for a moment, but at the same time it also put him completely in despair.
Because everyone in the palace heard his words: "I am innocent, how can I surrender and be beaten?"
Everyone knows that he committed the crime. Once the real culprit cannot be found, he commits the crime of deceiving the emperor, and his end will not be much better.
It's night now, the stars are bright and the moon is bright.
Although the monarch ordered everyone to keep everything simple when traveling, the ten dragon guards still stayed on both sides of Xia Yuanlong's carriage.
Afterwards, they were followed by Chen Zangfeng, Xia Lie, and Princess Caiyue. The group headed for the Imperial Capital Academy in a mighty manner.
Pedestrians on the main road of the imperial capital were all frightened when they saw the flag with the word "Jun" written on it in the distance. Countless people knelt down and shouted "Long live"...
But no one noticed that somewhere on the roof of Rouge Tower, a little white cat was lying on it. After catching the motorcade in his eyes with a pair of cat eyes shining like glass beads, he hurriedly said in his heart: "Boss, you
I really guessed it! The King of Daxia’s car is heading towards the Imperial Capital Academy!"
When the young man in the water prison heard this, he smiled and said: "Great. The second step was successful."
"The third step is for me to take action personally..."
Not long after, King Luanjia of Great Xia arrived at the Imperial Academy. Dean Liao Cangmang was not there. Vice Dean Xiao Chenhuang heard that His Majesty was coming in person. He was so frightened that he hurriedly got up from the belly of a beautiful maid, straightened his clothes, and rushed there in a hurry.
The school gate bowed to welcome you.
The great eunuch Li Zongming said concisely and concisely: "Lead the way to the Blackwater Dungeon!"
"yes!"
…
After a moment, the prison door of the academy prison opened, and everyone headed by the King of Daxia walked in. Under the leadership of Xiao Chenhuang, they arrived at the Blackwater Dungeon where Chen Shen was imprisoned.
Along the way, Xia Caiyue touched, touched, looked and smelled everywhere, busy looking for clues about the so-called "real murderer".
From time to time, he also asked Xiao Chenhuang a few questions, such as the shift replacement of the prison guards, the food and labor of the students in prison, etc.
As a result, the answer given by Xiao Chenhuang made Princess Caiyue feel helpless: "There is no one guarding the school prison. Because this is a school after all, and only a few students who have committed serious crimes in prison will be released in a year."
"As for the only black water dungeon, it is even less used."
According to Xiao Chenhuang, Chen Shen was the first to be imprisoned here in the past three years. Moreover, he seemed to have been severely punished for misdemeanors and detained in violation of regulations.
"Damn it...did you really leave no clues at all?"
While Xia Caiyue was busy looking for "evidence", Chen Shen had already seen the King of Daxia and others through the ceiling of the water prison.
The young man shouted hurriedly: "Your Majesty! I was wrongly imprisoned, Your Majesty!"
Xia Yuanlong's brows tightened slightly, and he could not help but feel a little unhappy in his heart: "Another one who calls out for injustice! I don't have time to pay attention to your minor grievances right now!"
Immediately, he was about to say something, but was stopped by Chen Shen's sudden and startled voice: "Senior Xia Lie, are you here too?"
"Your Majesty, you brought me here to redress my grievances, right?"
Speaking of this, the young man suddenly rolled his eyes and said to Xia Lie alone using the method of spiritual consciousness transmission:
"That's right! This is the right path! Although I was framed and innocently imprisoned, and suffered retaliation from those three instructors, we must not act impulsively and do illegal things!
"
"At that time, you said that you were going to kill the three punishment hall teachers. You said it was because the laws of Daxia were lax and it was all the fault of the monarch's lax governance. You also said that you wanted to kill them to enforce the law!"
"After you said that, you left. I couldn't stop you even though I called you a thousand times, for fear that you would really do something stupid like that! Now it seems that I am the one who is suspicious after all. It's okay, okay..."
Before Chen Shen finished speaking, he heard the King of Daxia say with a smile: "Haha, Gu is the Seven-Star Xuan King. With your cultivation in the Xuanshi realm, you still want to transmit your voice with your spiritual consciousness in front of Gu.
Does the secret language of means look down on Gu?"
Chen Shen's face was stunned, but in his heart he secretly said, "Hey, I'm just telling you."
In fact, except for Xia Caiyue, who is a one-star Xuanshi, everyone else's cultivation level is more than one level higher than Chen Shen.
The young man's words, which seemed to be deliberately transmitted with his spiritual consciousness in order not to expose Xia Lie, were listened to every word by them!
If it is true as this young man said, then there is no doubt that Xia Lie is the real murderer!
Xia Yuanlong's eyes have become increasingly gloomy.
Chen Zangfeng pretended to be shocked and looked at Xia Lie.
After all, it was Xia Lie who came to his senses first and immediately became furious: "You, you little beast, don't stop spewing blood!"
You are so paralyzed. When did I see you in the dungeon? When did I ever say any nonsense about the right way to kill people?
"Eh? Why are you being mean to me, senior? Did I say something wrong?" Chen Shen looked innocent.
"You...you..." Xia Lie was shaking with anger.
If the King of Daxia and Chen Zangfeng were not here, he would have wanted to slap that young man to death who was telling nonsense and trying to get him into the quagmire!
"Okay! The laws of Daxia are so lax, it's all the fault of the ruler's lax governance!"
"What a good one to kill Zhengfa!"
"Xia Lie, you seem to be very dissatisfied with the fact that Gu is in charge of the Great Xia Kingdom?" The words of the King of Great Xia, as cold as the ice of thousands of years, suddenly came out!
For a moment, the temperature in the huge school dungeon seemed to suddenly drop to freezing point, causing both Xia Caiyue and Xia Lie to shiver involuntarily...
Xia Caiyue didn't know the content of Chen Shen's spiritual message just now, so she had to ask Xiao Chenhuang for advice.
After hearing this, Xia Caiyue couldn't help but feel ashen.
Are you dissatisfied with the power of the King of Daxia? This is undoubtedly a provocation to the imperial power, and is tantamount to a conspiracy of rebellion!
This one crime alone will implicate nine tribes!
At the moment when the King of Daxia was filled with murderous intent, Xia Caiyue had a flash of inspiration in her mind and exclaimed: "Chen Shen, do you have any evidence?"
"What you just said is just one-sided words after all! Who can guarantee that you are telling the truth? Who can guarantee that you are not deliberately framed?"
Hearing this, the King of Great Xia suddenly paused at the peak of his anger. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Chen Shen, do you have any evidence for what you said?"
"Chen Shen, it is a serious crime to deceive the emperor and ignore your superiors!" Xia Caiyue did not forget to add, hatred boiling in her beautiful eyes.
"Evidence? Yes, I am the evidence myself!"
Chen Shen smiled happily: "I have been whipped a hundred times, but I am unscathed at this moment. Why? It's because of the recovery pill that Xia Lie gave me!"
"No! This evidence is not valid! Maybe... maybe the three torture hall instructors didn't whip you at all?"
Xia Caiyue spoke hastily: "You are the grandson of the general. It is reasonable for them to be wary and not dare to torture you."
Although she said this, the green-haired and blue-eyed girl was full of doubts in her heart: "They clearly told me personally before that the poisonous insects had been implanted into Chen Shen's body during the flogging. How could he remain unscathed?
Woolen cloth?"
This doubt made her extremely uneasy.
Ever since she became sensible, Xia Caiyue has never been so flustered as she is now...
