Chapter 648: Prisoner's Dilemma, a game of heart-piercing!

"Prisoner's Dilemma, Game Theory!"

This thought suddenly appeared in Wu Zhao's mind, and her beautiful eyes instantly lit up.

She stared at Gao Yang in the Jin Luandian, her gaze filled with admiration.

Gao Yang had set a heart-piercing trap for the Qin Wenchang couple, testing human nature once again.

If Qin Wenchang did not confess, but Lady Tian confessed, then Lady Tian would be released without guilt, while Qin Wenchang would have his nine clans executed and suffer the punishment of being sliced into a thousand pieces.

But if Lady Tian did not confess and Qin Wenchang confessed, then by the same logic, Qin Wenchang would be released without guilt, while Lady Tian would have her nine clans executed and suffer the punishment of being sliced into a thousand pieces.

If both confessed, then both would go to the celestial prison, and the truth of the case would be revealed.

But if both refused to confess, the Living Yama had one last layer of method: Archimedes' principle, to solve the case by the material of the black pot.

But what made Wu Zhao curious was that with this Archimedes' principle, the case was almost already clear; why did Gao Yang still want to test human nature?

Was it even an unnecessary move? Was it truly out of reverence for the wandering soul?

But this Gao Yang had clearly just said that this so-called object density, the different density of earth pottery and human bone, was because he had dug up some graves when he was a child and taken out the remains...

Regardless of whether these words were true or false, they were clearly contradictory.

Could it be...

Wu Zhao's eyes suddenly fell on the two large water vats and the black pot in Gao Yang's hands; she trembled all over and looked at Gao Yang's back in shock.

If it was truly as she thought, then Gao Yang was too evil!

The Qin Wenchang couple would probably be vomiting blood in a moment!

"Come, take the criminal Lady Tian away first, and keep Qin Wenchang in the hall!"

At this time, Gao Yang's voice rang out.

Instantly, Lady Tian's complexion turned white, and Qin Wenchang's complexion also changed suddenly.

Both looked at each other, their gazes shifting; could a marriage of over ten years withstand the test?

At this moment, the heart-piercing trap created by Gao Yang began!

"No whispering, no speaking, otherwise it will be treated as having a guilty conscience, and both will suffer the punishment of being sliced into a thousand pieces!"

Gao Yang's eyes seemed to pierce through everything, completely blocking their little thoughts!

These words made the Qin Wenchang couple shut their mouths.

And speaking now would indeed arouse suspicion.

Soon, the imperial guards took Tian Yan away, but it was visible to the naked eye that Tian Yan's complexion was already deathly pale.

Qin Wenchang looked at Gao Yang; only at this moment did he know Gao Yang's ruthlessness. This heart-piercing trap was too cruel!

He had underestimated Gao Yang's methods and Gao Yang's control over human nature; this person was the most terrifying devil in Da Qian!

Tian Qing was also panicked; a layer of fine cold sweat seeped out on his forehead, and the official robe behind him was soaked with cold sweat.

He also understood Gao Yang's heart-piercing trap, but now he could not say a word, only an extremely ominous premonition instantly struck him.

"Qin Wenchang, did you hear clearly what this official said earlier?"

Gao Yang asked lightly.

"This commoner heard clearly."

Qin Wenchang calmed down as much as possible, and even a smile appeared on his face.

"This official will reiterate: this case involves a wandering soul and a touching love story; this official may not respect ghosts and gods, but I must have some reverence for love."

"After all, this official is young and simple-minded, and I admire beautiful love."

When these words rang out, the corners of the hundred officials' mouths twitched wildly.

Young indeed, but simple-minded?

That was not necessarily true!

"So, unless it is a last resort, this official does not want to submerge the black pot in water. If you two were truly wronged, then do not confess, and this official will naturally return justice to you both and severely punish Lady Lin!"

"But if you two truly killed Lu Wenzheng, this official still says the same thing: if you confess and explain the details of the crime, this official can spare your life and execute that wicked woman Tian Yan!"

"If you do not confess, and later this official interrogates Tian Yan and she confesses, then the one who bears everything will be you, Qin Wenchang, and you will suffer the punishment of being sliced into a thousand pieces!"

Gao Yang walked toward Qin Wenchang, looking down at him from above; his tone was like a devil from the deepest part of hell, making people tremble when they heard it.

"Qin Wenchang, tell this official: are you truly innocent, and did Lady Lin frame you, or did you cruelly kill Lu Wenzheng five months ago and make him into a black pot, and is everything Lady Lin said true?"

Qin Wenchang's pupils suddenly shrank!

He looked at Gao Yang with horror; although he had long known that Gao Yang was playing with human nature and heart-piercing, when he truly heard these words again.

A trace of fear uncontrollably surged in his heart!

On the side, Lu Wen, Wang Yifan, and others all looked at Qin Wenchang nervously, waiting for his next words.

They could hold high positions in the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice, so they were naturally not mediocre; they also knew Gao Yang's sinister intentions clearly.

Wang Zhong's gaze even darted away.

The expression on Qin Wenchang's face was still relatively calm, but the expression on Lady Tian's face was clearly wrong.

Gao Yang shouldn't have heard that sentence about licking all the latrines in Changancheng, right?

He felt uneasy in his heart.

At this moment, Wang Zhong was very panicked.

A smile appeared on Qin Wenchang's face, and he said, "This commoner has heard everything the lord said, but this commoner is indeed innocent."

"This Lady Lin is maliciously framing me!"

Qin Wenchang insisted on this point, and his voice rang through the entire Jin Luandian.

Tian Qing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, Qin Wenchang held on and did not fall into the trap, otherwise he would be finished too.

The entire Supreme Court would not tolerate him!

Gao Yang's expression remained unchanged, and he continued lightly, "Qin Wenchang, do not blame this official for not reminding you: if you truly killed Lu Wenzheng but maliciously deceived this official, and Lady Tian confesses, then it is you who will die."

"Think carefully about this." ===== CHAPTER 650 =====
