Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 257 Witnesses

Chu Qingxiao's question made Lu Zhaoran stunned.

"Does it matter? Now that you have admitted that you are the remnant of Song Guicheng, it doesn't matter if you are Chu Qingxiao or not! Lu Zhaoran said in a deep voice.

"Of course it's important!" Chu Qingxiao said.

"If I wasn't Chu Qingxiao, then my relationship with Song Guicheng and my experience in the Eternal Night Realm would be fake, and naturally I wouldn't be a fellow thief, why should my lord arrest me?"

"This ......" Chu Qingxiao's question made Lu Zhaoran speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Chu Qingxiao stepped forward at this time, stared at Lu Zhaoran with cold eyes, and asked: "Then if I were Chu Qingxiao, I would be the only one who came out of Wuling City alive, and no one knows everything that happened in Wuling City better than me, so what ironclad evidence did the person who convicted Xizhou Sword Armor have to prove that there was collusion between Sword and Armor and the ancient gods in Wuling City?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

The people around the onlookers were talking, Song Qingqing and the others had just breathed a sigh of relief and raised their throats again, although they understood the importance of Xizhou Sword Armor to Chu Qingxiao, but they never thought that Chu Qingxiao would put the overturning of the case on the agenda in such a hurry.

This is undoubtedly adding to the trouble for yourself.

Syllable!

And at this moment, an old man beside Lu Zhaoran suddenly stood up, and he said angrily: "Chu Qingxiao! You are arrogant! ”

"Song Guicheng rebellion, the collusion between Xizhou Sword and Armor and the ancient gods, the court has already made a conclusion, how can it be your turn to accuse!"

Chu Qingxiao glanced at the old man, he was wearing the same black official robe, but his chest was embroidered with the appearance of a deer, he was an official of the Imperial Historical Observatory!

"Don't be angry, this lord." Chu Qingxiao said: "Today's seven-hall trial is to interrogate me if I am Chu Qingxiao, not to dwell on the things of the year, even if you really think that I am Song Guicheng's comrade, should you also finish the seven-hall trial first?" ”

"As soon as the Hanging Mirror Hall opened, tens of thousands of people in Wuling City were in full view, are you still afraid that I can confuse right and wrong and confuse black and white alone?"

The old man of the Imperial Historical Observatory was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the eyes of everyone around him, and he was also a little jealous in his heart.

After all, as soon as the Hanging Mirror Hall opened, there was no precedent for ending halfway, and if Chu Qingxiao's crime was to be cured, it would have to be upright and impeccable, otherwise it would damage the prestige of the imperial court, and he could not afford such a crime alone.

"Okay, you're all for the court......"

"Since the purpose of the Seven Halls trial is to determine his identity, let's first determine whether he is the same Chu Qingxiao, as for whether he is a fellow rebel party, you have time to retry it, right?" At this time, Zhong Yuan on the main seat spoke again, and listening to that tone, there was a bit of exculpatory meaning for Chu Qingxiao.

And since Zhong Yuan spoke, they always have to give the face of the Martial King, the old man glanced at Lu Zhaoran on the side, and nodded towards the other party.

It seems to be conveying something.

Lu Zhaoran also calmed down and sat back in his place.

Seeing this, Qiao Qingzhi glanced at Chu Qingxiao deeply, and then said: "Your story is good, according to the research of the Ancient Gods by the Heavenly Supervisor, everything you said does have the possibility of happening, but after all, it is your side of the story, can there be other evidence?" ”

Chu Qingxiao shook his head, and said: "The Eternal Night Realm is different from reality, everything in it is between the virtual and the real, I can't bring it out, naturally there is no evidence, but the Chu Zhaozhao Chu girl of the Heavenly Hanging Mountain has experienced all this with me, and she can be a witness." ”

"Then let that Chu Zhaozhao come forward to be questioned." Qiao Qingzhi said.

Chu Zhaozhao and Chu Qingxiao have experienced so many lives and deaths, so they naturally have their hearts towards Chu Qingxiao.

Hearing that she could come forward to testify, she didn't think much about it at all, and immediately walked through the crowd to the front of the Sword Hall.

After a brief inquiry, Chu Zhaozhao also truthfully told what he had seen and heard in the Eternal Night Realm, and of course omitted the part about the whereabouts of the old Taoist priest and the left rear divine blood.

This is the testimony that Chu Qingxiao had discussed with Chu Zhaozhao before hearing about the Seven Halls trial, but the key information was hidden, and the rest of the things were really happening, and there would be no mistakes.

And having Chu Zhaozhao, who is a disciple of Tianhang Mountain, testifying, undoubtedly made Chu Qingxiao's words somewhat convincing.

Lu Zhaoran's face was slightly ugly, and after listening to Chu Zhaozhao's testimony, he stared at Chu Zhaozhao with a cold gaze, and asked word by word: "So, you also think that the Xizhou Sword Armor is not a rebel, and it did not collude with Candle Yin before it rescued you?" ”

These words seemed to be asking Chu Zhaozhao, but in fact they were threats.

Unlike Chu Qingxiao, who was alone, they had already investigated Chu Zhaozhao's identity, she was a member of the Chu family in Wancheng, and she was tied by the clan, if she dared to say half a sentence to excuse the Xizhou Sword Armor, the entire clan would be implicated.

This move is to use the clan as a threat to force Chu Zhaozhao to comply.

But Chu Zhaozhao said with a calm face: "Twelve years ago, the disciple was young, whether it was the clan or the disciple himself, he had no contact with the sword armor, and I don't know what happened in Wuling City twelve years ago. ”

"As for the Eternal Night Realm a few months ago, I didn't have any contact with the Sword Armor, but at the last moment, the Sword Armor appeared and helped us seal the Old Gods, from beginning to end, I didn't say a word to them, and I don't know what happened between them and the Old Gods."

"The disciple just reported everything I saw truthfully, and I hope that the adults will see it!"

These words were naturally taught to Chu Zhaozhao by Chu Qingxiao, which allowed her to clear the relationship to the greatest extent in order to prevent the worst from happening.

It's just that this watertight answer obviously doesn't satisfy Lu Zhaoran.

He frowned: "Chu Zhaozhao, are you all fools like us?" I don't know anything, why did the sword armor save you? Don't be fooled by others, become a gunman, and end up harming yourself, don't say anything, don't implicate innocent people......"

If the inquiry just now was a secret threat, at this moment, Lu Zhaoran's words were almost explicit.

"Master Lu, what are you competing with a little girl?" But before Chu Zhaozhao could respond, Qiao Qingzhi on the side suddenly said: "Miss Chu is a member of the Chu family in Wancheng, twelve years ago in the Cangzhou Mutiny, her father was still a hero who sacrificed his life for the country to resist the rebels, and the court still commended him. ”

"She has an innocent background and is a loyal martyr, what reason does she have to speak for the rebels?"

"Don't look like a sinner!"

Qiao Qingzhi said, then looked at the people outside the arena and continued meaningfully: "This is not the prison where your Baifang Mansion handles the case, under the eyes of everyone, coercion and temptation, it is Your Majesty's face that is bad!" Others can't say that they still think that the officials of my Great Xia Dynasty rely on these means to decide cases! ”

Under this high hat, Lu Zhaoran's face was ugly, but it was difficult to refute.

He snorted coldly and said, "Good! Since Qiao Siming said so, then let's assume that what Chu Zhaozhao said is the truth. ”

"But according to my laws of Great Xia, there is no evidence to testify, but one witness is not convincing, and it is difficult to conclude the case!"

Qiao Qingzhi smiled slightly, looked sideways at Chu Qingxiao, and asked, "Chu Qingxiao, you also heard Lord Lu's words, do you have other witnesses?" ”

Chu Qingxiao arched his hand and said: "Rui Xiaozhu of Bailong Peak, Xiang An of Ganquan Peak, Fan Yuanwu of Tianhang Peak and Zhao Nianshuang of Qingque Peak are all my old friends, if they see me, they can naturally distinguish the real from the fake!" ”
