Chapter 642: This justice, I shall seek it for you

A voice, like a thunderclap on flat ground, rang out suddenly, piercing through the entire Jin Luandian.

In an instant, the hundred officials looked over one after another, looking at Gao Yang.

Their faces bore a trace of astonishment.

Gao Yang had actually... stood out?

"Lord Gao, what is the meaning of this?"

Lu Wen was completely dumbfounded.

An extremely ominous premonition instantly swept through his entire body.

Tian Qing trembled all over, his face filled with fear; he suddenly remembered the warning from Gao Yang.

The number one Living Yama of Da Qian, he wanted to get involved?

A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree; a layer of fine cold sweat instantly appeared on Tian Qing's forehead.

This was definitely not a good thing!

Gao Yang ignored the other gazes around him and simply walked toward Lady Lin.

His eyes were fixed straight on Lady Lin, waiting for her answer.

Lady Lin raised her head and looked at Gao Yang.

Her eyes darted away for a moment, and finally, she lowered her head and said softly, "The path was chosen by this humble woman herself; how could I implicate Lord Gao?"

"This humble woman is already infinitely grateful to Lord Gao."

"Lord Gao, you are different from some people."

She naturally understood that Gao Yang's warnings were all well-intentioned.

Including the fact that Gao Yang had stood out before she was punished to criticize the Supreme Court Chief Justice and speak up for her—she saw it all and was grateful in her heart.

But the path was her own choice, and she was the one who had dragged the Supreme Court into this.

Driven by that single breath of indignation in her heart, she had sold her property, blocked the carriage on the street, held the Great Proclamation, and even endured the steel needle punishment, all just to seek justice for Lu Wenzheng.

But because of that same breath, she had also accused the entire Supreme Court.

Her choices were hers to bear, but she could not implicate Gao Yang any further.

Because Gao Yang had shown her kindness!

"Your Majesty, when this subject went to summon them, I happened to see these three together."

"This matter truly has suspicious circumstances!"

At this time, Shangguan Wan whispered to Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao frowned tightly, her expression shifting.

She also noticed something wrong with Qin Wenchang; this man was clearly a commoner who fired earth kilns, yet he was not the least bit flustered in her presence, and his speech was logical and well-founded.

It seemed there was no problem at all, but this... in itself was a huge problem!

But knowing was one thing; handling a case required evidence.

Especially since she was the Son of Heaven of Da Qian, she had to rely on evidence even more and provide an explanation to the hundred officials.

Now Lu Wenzheng's life or death was unknown; if he were dead, his body could not be found, and there were neither human witnesses nor material evidence.

How could a conviction be made?

But at this moment, Gao Yang stood out.

"This case may finally come to light."

Wu Zhao stopped Shangguan Wan, her eyes staring at Gao Yang with great depth.

She said to herself.

Gao Yang's posture suggested he knew this Lady Lin...

This piqued her curiosity.

At this moment, Lady Lin suddenly raised her head and said, "Lord Gao, may this humble woman shamelessly ask you for one thing."

Gao Yang looked indifferent and did not speak.

"In all of this, An An is innocent. If this humble woman truly dies, could I trouble you to find a home for An An?"

"I do not ask for great wealth or status, just that she can eat her fill at every meal; I only ask that she lives a peaceful life and is not sold into a brothel."

"This humble woman... thanks you!"

Lady Lin pressed her head tightly against the ground, filled with entreaty.

Lady Lin had raised her voice for these words, so everyone heard them clearly.

Upon hearing this, the hundred officials were all astonished.

They widened their eyes and looked at Gao Yang, completely shocked.

What was going on with this Lady Lin, that she would entrust her child to the number one Living Yama of Da Qian!

There were civil and military officials here, including many world-renowned Confucian scholars, yet Lady Lin sought none of them, only Gao Yang...

In other words, among all these civil and military officials, she trusted no one but Gao Yang!

Gao Yang stared at the Lady Lin before him, then suddenly turned back, leaving only one sentence.

"You have found the wrong person; this official has never been a kind-hearted man."

"Not to mention that this official once swore never to be a stepfather in this life; An An is a well-behaved and lovable child, raise her yourself!"

"Justice... I shall seek it for you!"

The words were resonant, suddenly ringing through the entire Jin Luandian.

Those indifferent eyes swept across the entire Jin Luandian, and an unmasked sharpness suddenly erupted from Gao Yang, sweeping through the entire hall.

Lady Lin raised her head in astonishment; she looked at Gao Yang's back, her face moved.

Two lines of clear tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.

"Lord Gao..."

"You are not a Living Yama at all; you are... a righteous official."

Only Lady Lin herself could hear these two sentences.

Gao Feng looked at Gao Yang, stroked his beard, and revealed a smile.

He shook his head gently.

"This brat!"

At this moment, Gao Yang looked at Wu Zhao, cupped his hands, and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, this subject has a plan to identify the true culprit of this case!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court was shocked.

Lu Wen's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Gao Yang and said hurriedly, "Lord Gao, the facts are already so clear, and the entire court has no objections; does Lord Gao have objections?"

These words carried a faint hint of a threat.

There was no other reason; Gao Yang was too dangerous.

Whenever Gao Yang said, "This subject has a plan," who in the entire court, or even the six kingdoms, would not tremble three times?

Gao Yang looked at Lu Wen and suddenly laughed.

"Lord Gao, why are you laughing?" Lu Wen spoke again.

Gao Yang laughed heartily, a trace of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth, "This official is laughing that the entire court is filled with people who only know how to protect themselves!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the complexions of the hundred officials changed.

Some censors even looked angry, but because the person speaking was Gao Yang, some forced themselves to endure it.

"Lord Lu, this official asks you: does this case truly have no suspicious points?" ===== CHAPTER 644 =====
