Chapter 644: Two large vats filled with water, solve the case within a day

"Two large vats filled with water?"

Wu Zhao was instantly stunned.

But seeing Gao Yang full of confidence, she did not ask more; after all, Gao Yang's methods never followed the beaten path.

She ordered directly, "Come, follow Lord Gao's instructions and get two large vats filled with water."

Upon hearing this, a trace of mockery appeared in the depths of Lu Wen's eyes.

"Lord Gao, this case is stuck on the talk of ghosts and gods and the lack of solid evidence; how can these two large vats filled with water solve the case?"

"I am curious about Lord Gao's level!"

Xu Xuanji also said with a face full of curiosity, "Lord Gao, what does this case have to do with water vats?"

"Could it be that the water vats are also evidence?"

For a moment, everyone was confused.

They looked at Gao Yang with curiosity, not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

A trace of mockery appeared in the depths of Qin Wenchang's eyes, but on the surface, he revealed a fawning expression.

"This commoner has long heard of Lord Gao's great name; with Lord Gao taking action, you will surely return justice to my wife and me!"

Qin Wenchang was full of excitement, as if his grievances were about to be washed away.

Lady Lin was also stunned; the Living Yama was helping her solve the case, and he even wanted to use two large vats?

Her dream had not contained a single large vat!

Wu Zhao was also full of curiosity.

Gao Yang looked at the Qin Wenchang couple with profound meaning and said coldly.

"Qin Wenchang, this official's case-solving has always been fair!"

"Now, I will ask one question, and you will answer one; do not say irrelevant things, otherwise do not blame this official for using heavy torture!"

"Do you understand?"

Gao Yang's eyes carried endless pressure, and Qin Wenchang's complexion could not help but change.

"I understand!"

Qin Wenchang nodded.

"How long have you been in the earth pottery business?" Gao Yang asked.

"Reporting to my lord, it has been three years; the black pots of my Qin family are praised by everyone in Changancheng, but now our reputation is ruined!"

Qin Wenchang sighed, appearing extremely depressed.

"This is the first time I have warned you; you only need to answer my questions, and as for anything extra, do not say it!"

"If there is a next time, do not blame this official for being heartless."

"The second question: do you supply black pots to the Six Directions Pavilion?"

"Yes!"

Qin Wenchang thought for a moment and nodded directly.

This point was easy to check, and there was no need to lie.

"The third question: you have been in the black pot business for a long time; do the black pots you make have corresponding molds, and are the shape, size, and material almost the same?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of thought appeared in the depths of Qin Wenchang's eyes.

But at this moment, Gao Yang shouted loudly, "Answer this official; do not hesitate on such questions, is it or is it not!"

"Yes!"

"The fourth question: five months ago, you hosted a wealthy merchant outside Changancheng, is that so or not?"

"Yes!"

"What was the merchant's surname? What were his characteristics!"

"He claimed his surname was Hong; this commoner does not know if it was a fake name. He was wearing a white robe, and as for the rest, I cannot remember."

"Are you aware of his movements?"

"This commoner only collected a hundred-wen overnight fee; I know nothing else."

Gao Yang then looked at Wu Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, this subject has finished asking!"

"Please, Your Majesty, send someone to randomly take two black pots from the Qin Wenchang couple's home, and also summon the shopkeeper of the Six Directions Pavilion to the court!"

Wu Zhao narrowed her eyes and said immediately.

"Do as Lord Gao says!"

Afterward, she asked, "Should we also bring the woodcutter?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "No need, this is enough."

Lu Wen sneered and flicked his sleeves, saying, "Just this?"

"This official has never heard of Lord Gao's method of trial; it is simply ridiculous!"

"Lord Gao, if you can solve this difficult case, I will honor you as my teacher from now on!"

Gao Yang had been so impolite; as the Supreme Court Chief Justice, if he remained timid and dared not fight back, he would have no way to survive in the future.

"No need."

Lu Wen sneered, "Does Lord Gao know the difficulty involved and is afraid?"

"No, I just simply cannot afford to lose that face!"

"You..."

Lu Wen heard these words and was so angry that his head felt like it was smoking.

He wished he could tear Gao Yang's mouth apart.

This mouth was too poisonous!

"This official will wait to see Lord Gao's methods!" Lu Wen gritted his teeth.

Gao Yang did not say much, just waited for the shopkeeper of the Six Directions Pavilion.

Soon, two large vats filled with water were carried into the hall.

"Go get a basin and add some water; make sure both water vats are equally full!"

Gao Yang ordered.

The imperial guards were confused but did as they were told.

Wang Zhong could not help but shake his head, "Playing god and acting like a ghost!"

Wang Yifan also could not help but say: "Different professions are like mountains apart; even in books, I have never seen this way of solving a case."

Clearly, he was also full of doubt toward Gao Yang, even though he also disliked Lu Wen.

Gao Yang glanced at the two of them and said lightly.

"Starting from today, it will be in the books." ===== CHAPTER 646 =====
