Ren Baichuan came forward and saluted Yin Meiru: "I pay my respects to the Holy Lady."
Yin Meiru stood up in a hurry, walked down the steps, went to meet him, helped him up, and said: Uncle Ren, how can you give me such a great gift? Isn't this trying to disgrace this junior?
You can't say that. The patriarch once said, Madam Saint, you have a respected status and are ranked above the ten elders. I dare not forget the patriarch's teachings.
Yin Meiru shouted to the maid on one side: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly bring a chair to Uncle Ren?"
The maids hurriedly brought an imperial chair from the side for Ren Baichuan to sit on.
Yin Meiru knew it and asked: Uncle Ren, why did you come to my place today?
Ren Baichuan did not answer her directly. Instead, he looked at Bi Sheng aside and cursed: Huh, Bi Sheng, who gave you such courage to lead people to break into the Saintess' Palace?
Returning to the Great Elder, I am here to arrest the prisoner.
Why don't you apologize to the Holy Lady quickly?
Although Bi Sheng felt aggrieved, he still dared not disobey his immediate boss.
He immediately bowed to Yin Meiru and apologized: Your Royal Highness, please forgive me for being rude.
Yin Meiru didn't want to embarrass him anymore, so she had to say: Bi Sheng, I will forgive your rudeness, but you have to remember that you won't do it again.
At this time, Ren Baichuan smiled at Yin Meiru and said: Holy Lady, I am actually here today because of the robbery of Yuan Shi in the palace. I want to meet Wang En Zhanchen, Zhou Yongshun and Li Guihua.
Seeing that the great elder had spoken in person, Yin Meiru couldn't refuse, so she replied: "Okay, but you can ask in this palace, I am also interested in this."
Then, she turned her head and said to the maids next to her: Go and ask Zhou Yongshun, Wang En, Li Guihua and others to come over.
yes
Zhan Chen, come out too
Zhan Chen replied from the side, but his heart had already jumped to his throat, but he never showed his emotions and anger, so he couldn't see it on the surface.
At this time, he saw Yin Meiru sending him a look of encouragement and support. He felt a little calmer and made up his mind: with this woman protecting him, there shouldn't be any big problems. What do you want to ask me later?
All I have to do is pretend to be stupid.
Zhan Chen silently walked to the center of the hall and stood with his head lowered. He could feel the scrutinizing gazes and invisible pressure from Ren Baichuan and Bi Sheng.
He forced himself to withstand the pressure, stood firm, and even raised his head, pretending to have a clear conscience.
After a while, the other three people also arrived. Zhan Chen and Li Guihua looked at each other and said nothing.
Seeing that the four people had arrived, Ren Baichuan walked up to them and glanced at them with a sharp look. Everyone who met his eyes lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to face him.
See.
I am Ren Baichuan, the chief elder of the Ministry of Punishment. I am here today to ask you a few questions. Of course, you must answer truthfully and not hide anything, because we already have sufficient evidence and now we just want to verify it.
All four people replied: But it depends on the great elder’s inquiry.
Okay, you all must have experienced the robbery of the Saintess' Peak Primordial Stone some time ago.
The four of them looked at each other, feeling uneasy in their hearts, and nodded one after another.
But do you know that just a few days ago, another major event happened, that is, our Criminal Department conducted a large-scale sweep of Yinque City and captured many remnants of the Righteous Alliance, and one of them confessed this Yuan Stone Quilt
The whole story of the robbery is said to be someone in our Moluo Sect who helped plan this conspiracy.
At this point, Ren Baichuan's words suddenly stopped and he stared at the four of them closely.
At this moment, Zhan Chen's mind was racing, how calm should he look? No, being too calm would arouse suspicion. The real correct thing is to show some surprise and fear, so that it would be easier to get through.
Thinking of this, Zhan Chen's face immediately changed, revealing a hint of shock and panic.
Sure enough, Ren Baichuan's eyes left his body and finally fell on Li Guihua in the crowd. He pointed at him and asked: "What is your name?"
Returning to the Great Elder, my name is Li Guihua.
You don’t seem to be one of our demons
Yes, because I have never been able to find the magic method I like, I am not a magic cultivator for the time being.
Did you know that the most outstanding characteristic of the remnants of the Righteous Alliance is that they are not demon cultivators?
Haha, Great Elder, there are many disciples of our Moluo Sect who do not practice demons. I just haven’t found a suitable method.
Then can you recount what happened on the day when Yuan Shi was robbed?
Yes, that day the five of us were led by a young martial artist to a building in the jungle. Wang En and Zhou Yongshun were stopped outside the house, while Huang Youshu and Chen and I were invited to go upstairs to conduct transactions.
As a result, as soon as they went upstairs, they became malicious after seeing Yuan Shi and surrounded the three of me. Leader Huang was unfortunately killed, but Zhan Chen and I fought our way out.
What Li Guihua said was basically consistent with what the Ministry of Punishment had learned before. Ren Baichuan nodded and asked: Who is Zhan Chen?
Zhan Chen took a step forward and replied: I have met the great elder.
You are not one of my demons either
Returning to the elder, the little one originally worshiped under the Li Gui sect in the eastern Rakshasa Kingdom. Fortunately, he was appreciated by the Holy Lady and brought the little one to the Moluo Sect. It has only been more than a year and he has not yet been given the supreme skill of the sect.
Yes, I personally brought Zhan Chen back. Yin Meiru also said quickly.
Bi Sheng on the side looked at Zhan Chen, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but since his cultivation level was too low and his appearance was not as good as his own, he didn't think much about it.
Ren Baichuan pondered: So that's the case, then the possibility that Zhan Chen is an undercover agent of the Righteous Alliance is very slim.
He then asked: So Zhan Chen, tell me, did you hide anything in what Li Guihua just said?
Returning to the Great Elder, everything Li Guihua said is true.
I already know the situation basically. Someone please take Li Guihua and Zhan Chen into custody temporarily.
The two of them were shocked, wondering which link had gone wrong.
Anxiety flashed in Yin Meiru's eyes and she called: Uncle Ren, what's wrong?
Ren Baichuan chuckled and said: "Lord Saint, there is no need to panic. These two people are not members of my demonic path. I just took them back to conduct a detailed search and interrogation. There are still many doubts here that need to be verified. If the facts prove that these two people
People are indeed innocent, so I will naturally put them back exactly where they are.
This time it was Yin Meiru's turn to be in trouble. Ren Baichuan's status was not as good as Bi Sheng's, and even his father had to sell him three cents of noodles.
Seeing that Yin Meiru was silent, Zhan Chen became anxious. He didn't know what he would encounter when he went to the Ministry of Justice.
Seeing Zhan Chen's troubled look, Yin Meiru gritted her teeth and said: "If you want to take me with you, you can only take Li Guihua. Zhan Chen is a confidant I personally selected, and Mr. Qu can also testify. There will be no problem. I can't let him."
you take him away
Seeing her stubborn look, Ren Baichuan also had a headache. Just as he was about to persuade her again, he heard a burst of wild laughter.
Hahaha
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the laughter, but they found that the person laughing was none other than Li Guihua.
Ren Baichuan's expression changed and he asked in a deep voice: Li Guihua, why are you laughing?
What I laugh at is the stupidity and incompetence of your Mo Luo Sect. After searching for so long, you still haven’t found the real traitor.
You mean, you are the traitor.
Yes, things have happened so far. Whether I say it or not, the result is the same. Anyway, if you enter the Ministry of Punishment, you won’t be able to get out again.
Then you can still laugh
Laugh, of course I have to laugh. My mission has been completed. I robbed the Yuan Stone and passed on the news that you are going to attack our branch.
Ren Baichuan's eyes flashed with confusion and he said: I don't understand something. How did you know that we were going to attack Yinque City by surprise?
Because, you also have people from us in the Criminal Department, Li Guihua said confidently.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Ren Baichuan asked further: Oh, who is it?
Hahaha, I will never tell you, including how we contacted you.
At this time, Yin Mei shouted from the front: Li Guihua, then the robbery of our Saintess Peak Yuan Stone was also planned by you.
Yes, I just took advantage of the conflict between Huang Youshu and Zhan Chen to set up this situation. All of you are under my control. Hahaha, Li Guihua deliberately lit the three of Zhan Chen, Wang En and Zhou Yongshun with his hands.
laugh.
Li Guihua, I really misjudged you, I trusted you so much in vain, Yin Meiru scolded loudly.
If Bi Sheng refuses to repent, please escort him back to the Criminal Department. I will use our 108 torture methods to pry open his mouth, Ren Baichuan said in a cold voice.
After Bi Sheng accepted the order, he and several followers came forward, subdued Li Guihua on the spot, and twisted him down.
At this time, Zhan Chen's eyes were a little moist. Originally, Li Guihua didn't have to be exposed so quickly. All he did was to better protect himself.
Suddenly, he saw Li Guihua turning his head and glancing at him, a glance full of expectation.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Chen couldn't help but fell silent. He knew what the other party wanted to say to him, but could he afford such a task?
