Chapter 149 Trial of Shen Kun

Shen Kun shook his head and said, "No, I got it by chance from someone overseas. They said there is no antidote for this medicine."

The hope in Zhou Qing's eyes faded.

The main reason why he agreed to the interrogation by the Imperial Master was that he wanted to try and see if he could get the antidote.

There is no antidote for this medicine. With Gu Yunqing's physical condition, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for long.

He took a huge risk and worked hard, but -

Ugh!

"My Gu family has no grudge against Bi Pengwei. Why would he want to harm my Gu family? What's more, I have been sentenced to death by beheading. Why did he drug me?" Chu Zhao said softly.

Zhou Qing looked at Chu Zhao with a hint of surprise in his eyes. It seemed that neither he nor Shen Kun mentioned that the medicine was given to Gu Yunqing, right?

Is this guy just guessing?

Shen Kun's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "I don't know."

Anyone could see from his pause that he was hiding something.

"Shen Kun, you knew the truth but didn't tell me, you deceived me, go throw him into the oil pan!" Zhou Qing vented his anger on Shen Kun.

The "Judge" responded, came over, picked up Shen Kun, and was about to throw him into the oil wok.

Looking at the boiling oil in the pot, sizzling with oil bubbles, Shen Kun was terrified:

"My lord, my lord, I will tell you, I will tell you everything you want to know!"

Gu Xi lifted Shen Kun over the oil pan and shouted:

"Tell me, why did Bi Pengwei frame the Gu family?"

Shen Kun thought that since the underworld couldn't control the living anyway, it didn't matter if he told the truth here, so he screamed:

"Bi Pengwei said that General Gu knew something he shouldn't have known and he had to be silenced. The drug was administered before he was arrested!"

Zhou Qing asked: "What did General Gu know?"

Shen Kun watched his body getting closer and closer to the frying pan. He could even feel the burning heat and howled in fear:

"I don't know, I really don't know. Bi Pengwei didn't tell me anything. He just asked me to keep the fact of giving him the medicine to myself!"

Seeing that he was so frightened and still refused to say anything, Gu Xi thought that he really didn't know, so she threw him to the ground.

"Bang!" Shen Kun was thrown to the ground, but he felt as if he had been pardoned.

After regaining some of his ability to think, Shen Kun said tremblingly:

"General Gu is here, you can ask him."

Chu Zhao chuckled, "You guys drugged me, I forgot!"

Shen Kun: “…”

Gu Xi brought Zhou An's confession to Shen Kun and said, "Sign it."

Shen Kun signed with trembling hands and asked in a crying voice:

"Sir, can I be reincarnated?"

The underworld is too scary, I want to go back to the human world!

Gu Xi laughed, "You are so beautiful! When bad people die, they will go to the eighteenth level of hell."

After saying that, he knocked Shen Kun unconscious with a single blow of his hand, and Gu Xi sent him back to the cell.

When Gu Xi came back, he said to Zhou Qing:

"Master Zhou, the Yama Palace has been set up. It would be a waste to use it only once. How about we also try Bi Pengwei?"

Of course Zhou Qing also wanted to try Bi Pengwei. He was involved in the trial of the Gu family case, but he knew that there was injustice involved. This case was simply a shame in his career.

Even if he had to take responsibility, he wanted to clear the Gu family's grievances.

"Bi Pengwei is the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple after all. Without solid evidence, our Inspectorate has no way of arresting him." Zhou Qing sighed.

Zhou Qing felt powerless knowing that the bad guys were at large but unable to bring them to justice.

Gu Xi raised his lips in a playful arc: "Who said we should arrest him according to the normal procedures?"

Zhou Qing thought of the inhuman ability of the Imperial Master and asked, "What does the Imperial Master mean?"

"Please wait here. I'll get him."

"I'm going too!" Chu Zhao followed.

To steal someone in broad daylight, no, to catch someone, is so exciting!

The Inspectorate and the Dali Temple are separated by just one street.

Chu Zhao and Gu Xi came to the outside of the Dali Temple's wall and jumped onto the wall with a light leap.

As soon as they went up, they saw a cook coming out of the kitchen carrying a food box and saw them at a glance.

Oh no, two people suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall in broad daylight. They were too conspicuous.

They were so used to climbing over other people's walls at night that they had forgotten about it.

Gu Xi hurriedly pulled Chu Zhao into the space.

The cook was about to shout, but in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared again.

"Strange, there are clearly two figures. Could it be that I am playing tricks on me?" the cook muttered in a low voice.

He turned and walked in the opposite direction of the courtyard wall. Gu Xi took Chu Zhao out of the space and jumped down from the courtyard wall lightly without making any sound.

The cook walked along with his brows furrowed in thought, thinking that he had forgotten to bring something. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

"Oh, the master's wine!" He slapped his thigh and remembered.

He hurriedly turned around and went back to the kitchen to get it, but suddenly he saw two figures not far behind him.

Gu Xi didn't expect the cook to look back, so in a hurry, he pulled Chu Zhao into the space again.

The cook stood still, and this time he really didn't blink. He did see two people, but they disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Oh my god! Could it be a ghost?" The cook was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat on such a hot day.

The cook held the food box tightly in his hand, took a cautious step forward, then quickly looked back, no one was there!

I took another step and looked back, but still no one was there!

He jogged a few steps, then turned back like lightning, but still there was no one!

"Ouch, my neck is sprained."

The cook rubbed his neck, his nerves tense, and walked back to the kitchen cautiously, looking back every step of the way. He took a pot of wine and was about to run away.

Before he even walked out of the kitchen, he saw two people standing at the door, grinning at him. This time he could see clearly that one of them had a face as pale as paper, and the other had disheveled hair and a bloody face.

Gu Xi and Chu Zhao came out in a hurry and didn't have time to remove their makeup.

"Ah——" Before the cook could even utter the word "ghost", he was knocked unconscious by Chu Zhao's palm.

They stripped the cook of his clothes, hid him in a basket of vegetables, and covered him with some vegetables.

The cook's clothes were soaked with sweat and smelled bad. Chu Zhao pinched his nose and changed his clothes. Gu Xi quickly changed his appearance.

"Chef Liu, what's going on? The adults are waiting for their meals!" A man dressed as a yamen runner walked in.

Gu Xi dodged and hid in the space.

Chu Zhao held the lunch box in one hand and two bottles of Erguotou in the other, and said with a forced smile:

“Isn’t this just done?”

The bailiff said, "Give it to me. The master has urged me to do so."

Chu Zhao flattered, "Brother officer, my third uncle's sister's nephew's brother wants to work in the Dali Temple. So, he asked me to bring some good wine to you. Can you please let me deliver it to you in person?"

The yamen runner counted on his fingers:

"Third uncle's sister's nephew...what a mess of relatives, how dare you ask the adults to do something just because you have a good drink?"
