Chapter 654: Not even afraid of damaging virtue, let alone morality?

Hum!

Qin Wenjun's brain was buzzing, and his face was twisted.

It was one thing to want his life, but to mock him for being uncultured and suffering from a lack of culture—this Living Yama was simply too much!

You can't humiliate people like this!

"So Lord Gao made such a big show, and even used gold and silver ingots for experiments; was all of this fake, all to play us?"

Gao Yang crossed his arms and said disdainfully, "So what if I played you?"

"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't fear ghosts knocking at your door, but as long as you truly killed Lu Wenzheng and made his remains into a black pot, you will panic, and this Archimedes' principle will become a mountain pressing on your chest!"

Instantly, Qin Wenchang's face changed.

Everything was clear; this was all designed by Gao Yang.

He stared fixedly at Gao Yang, wanting to spit out national curses at him, but was afraid of Gao Yang's retaliation.

"To put it bluntly, this is a trap I set, a trap set for you two; accurately speaking, it is a trap for Tian Yan!"

"But you don't have to be too uncomfortable, because this is just the fastest way to solve a case. For this kind of case, as long as the hundred officials want to investigate, from the perspective of funds and heavy torture, you absolutely cannot hold on."

"Not to mention, this official knew you two had problems from the first glance."

Qin Wenchang closed his eyes in pain.

At this moment, he knew his own ridiculousness; the Living Yama's methods of solving cases were too terrifying.

Tian Yan was full of regret and knew she had been tricked, but a smile of relief also appeared on her face.

"Lord Gao, according to what you said, this humble woman has confessed all the criminal facts, so this murder crime should be borne by Qin Wenchang alone!"

"You must release me without guilt!"

Sacrificing the husband but not herself—this was very reasonable!

Upon hearing this, Qin Wenchang looked at Tian Yan in disbelief, "Tian Yan, we have been husband and wife for over ten years, yet you betrayed me just for a glimmer of survival; you are simply worse than a beast!"

"Do you have a conscience?"

Tian Yan's eyes darted away, but she said directly, "How much is a conscience worth? In this world, even ants try to survive, let alone humans!"

"Haven't you heard a saying? Husband and wife are birds from the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly separately; it's not like I told you to hold on to the end, you were just stupid yourself!"

When Qin Wenchang heard this, his chest heaved violently, as if he were about to explode with anger!

"You wicked woman!"

"Bitch!"

"The money obtained from killing Lu Wenzheng was all spent on you, and even the gold jewelry you are wearing was a gift Lu Wenzheng intended to take back; now you want to wash your hands of it?"

Qin Wenchang cursed angrily.

Tian Yan's eyes darted away, but she pretended not to hear.

Tian Yan was even secretly rejoicing in her heart that this Qin Wenchang was too stupid and did not choose to confess everything; she had survived after all!

"Tian Yan, what do you think of this official?"

Gao Yang pointed to himself, looked directly at Tian Yan, and asked.

When these words were spoken, Tian Yan was completely stunned.

What did Gao Yang mean? Did he want her to flatter him? Or did he take a fancy to her?

Tian Yan said in a low voice: "Tall and handsome, making people unable to look away; what's wrong?"

Gao Yang nodded with deep feeling, "Although you are full of lies, I have to admit that this sentence is the truth, but I wasn't referring to appearance, but to my character; what do you think?"

Instantly, Tian Yan's pupils shrank.

An extremely ominous premonition suddenly swept through her entire body.

Gao Yang continued ruthlessly, "Or do you think this official looks like a person who keeps his promises?"

"Hiss!"

When these words were spoken, the hundred officials all changed their faces.

Lu Zhen laughed heartily, "I knew this brat didn't have such a kind heart; could he let this wicked woman go?"

"Slaughter them all!"

Tian Yan's complexion turned white, and she looked at Gao Yang in disbelief.

She crawled toward Gao Yang, full of entreaty, and said, "Lord Gao, you are the current Minister of Revenue; you cannot do this, this is immoral!"

Gao Yang lowered his head, took off a bracelet from Tian Yan's hand, and then kicked Tian Yan, sending her flying.

"I burned the rattan-armored soldiers and wasn't afraid of damaging virtue; would I be afraid of damaging morality?"

"Stupid!"

"Besides, in the Jin Luandian, my words are worth nothing; this case is being tried by the Emperor herself. Why don't you ask the Emperor if she will let you go?"

Wu Zhao: "..."

She narrowed her eyes, somewhat helpless.

This Gao Yang is truly good at shifting blame!

Then, Gao Yang looked at Wu Zhao and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the Qin Wenchang couple deserves to die; this subject implores Your Majesty to execute these two at noon tomorrow with extreme punishment to warn the world and appease the public anger!"

Wu Zhao looked down at the hundred officials indifferently and looked at the Qin Wenchang couple.

"The Qin Wenchang couple killed for money and even mixed his remains with pottery clay to make a black pot; their evil deeds are simply intolerable to both humans and gods, and Heaven's justice cannot tolerate them!"

"Come, drag these two away, throw them into the celestial prison, and execute them with extreme punishment at the East Market vegetable market at noon tomorrow; punish them severely!"

Instantly, the Qin Wenchang couple's limbs went limp, and their complexions turned white.

Extreme punishment—this was being sliced into a thousand pieces, feeling the pain of being alive until they died!

Soon, the imperial guards walked into the hall and dragged the Qin Wenchang couple, who were like dead dogs, away.

Tian Qing's back was full of cold sweat, and his body trembled violently; he suddenly knelt down toward Wu Zhao.

"Your Majesty, this subject is guilty!"

"This subject implores Your Majesty to forgive me and spare my little life!"

Wu Zhao looked at Tian Qing kneeling on the ground, her phoenix eyes becoming more cold and her anger surging, "Tian Qing, you are the Supreme Court official; you should have been dedicated to the people, but you were blinded by greed and protected the Qin Wenchang couple, causing Lady Lin to hold the Great Proclamation and enter the hall with a coffin to file a petition to the Emperor!"

"In terms of crime, you, Tian Qing, are even more unforgivable!"

"From today on, throw him into the celestial prison, sentence him to the punishment of skinning and stuffing with straw, and thoroughly investigate the entire Supreme Court; strictly investigate corruption!"

"It is time to investigate the parasites of this entire Changancheng!"

Wu Zhao said coldly and gave the order!

In an instant, Tian Qing's face was bloodless, and his body was powerless.

Lu Wen's complexion was also extremely ugly.

In this matter, the entire Supreme Court was absolutely to blame; if Wu Zhao had just deducted his salary, the matter would have been over.

But Wu Zhao skipped him and did not punish him, which meant the exact opposite—it meant the matter was not over yet!

This was like a knife hanging over his neck at any time, just not falling yet!

Damn it!

These damned Qin Wenchang couple, that damned Tian Qing!

That damned Gao Yang! ===== CHAPTER 656 =====
