"Lord Ye, I don't admit anything you said! What leak of information? That's pure nonsense! If I, Chen Zhijie, really wanted to harm Lord Ye, I didn't have to inform North Thearch. Instead, I could have sent people to ambush you on the Bright Green Star and attacked you the moment you came to the Immortal Realm. Wouldn't my chances of winning be higher that way? "
"Also, you said that I worked with East Thearch to kill you at the East Thearch Mansion. Then let me explain that I was deceived by East Thearch and thought you were a shameless person who took liberties with his beloved concubine. And I didn't want to kill you at that time. I just wanted you to explain yourself! "
"Lord Ye, you accuse me, Chen Zhijie, of two things, and there is no witness or material evidence! We, the Iron Prison Mountain, want our prisoners to be convinced. You want to convict me without any evidence? I don't accept this! "
Chen Zhijie was an old prison warden after all. He knew more about these things than Ye Kong. After a few words, he immediately became self-confident.
Indeed, there was no evidence in the East Thearch Mansion and this leak of information. There was no fourth person present at the East Thearch Mansion. Chen Zhijie completely denied it. Ye Kong couldn't argue with him in court, could he?
As Chen Zhijie spoke in a seemingly righteous manner, all the jailers and soldiers outside the Punishment Hall hissed at him. Although Ye Kong could kill Chen Zhijie directly, there was no such thing as reason. Ye Kong didn't want the whole Immortal Realm to think that he was unreasonable.
"Chen Zhijie, don't be so arrogant! Let me tell you, no matter how shrewd a fox is, it can't escape a hunter's gun! When I find out the truth about this leak of information, it will be time to take your life! "Ye Kong snorted coldly. He thought to himself that he could only retreat temporarily and let the secret people investigate.
But Chen Zhijie raised his head and smiled. "Lord Ye, actually you have some misunderstandings about me. But I am an old man and you are a young man. I still have high hopes for you. You don't like me, but I like you. I didn't want something like this to happen to you. So when I heard the news, I investigated immediately! Now the truth has come to light! "
Ye Kong frowned and said, "The truth will come to light?"
Chen Zhijie smiled and said, "Sir, we've already found out that the person who colluded with the Zhai family and tried to kill you was the high-ranking prison guard, Li Dongxu! He's the one who went to Planet Mingcui to greet you. I must have been blind to have sent him to greet you. However, I didn't expect him to have colluded with the Zhai family from the White Hair Region. He immediately sent the news to Planet Salthead. That's why everything happened … Even if I'm guilty, it's because I'm a leader. I'm willing to take responsibility for my negligence. "
From plotting to assassinate a superior to neglecting one's duties, the difference between these two crimes was too great.
Ye Kong knew Li Dongxu. From the first time Ye Kong came to the Iron Prison Mountain, it was Li Dongxu who led the way. Later on, Ye Kong became the Prison Canon of Iron Prison Mountain and promoted Li Dongxu. It should be said that this person was more honest and sincere. Ye Kong didn't believe that Li Dongxu betrayed him.
However, Ye Kong still asked, "Li Dongxu and I parted ways at Planet Mingcui. He should have returned to the Iron Prison Mountain before me. Where is Li Dongxu? "
However, when Ye Kong asked this question, no one in the hall answered.
Ye Kong asked again. Only then did the supervisor of the Punishment Hall came up and said in a low voice, "Sir, a few days ago, there was news that someone found our Iron Prison Mountain's flying car floating in the sky. It was covered in blood and there was no trace of anyone. That flying car was the one that went to greet you. I went to check and found out that all the prison guards were dead. Only Li Dongxu's body was missing. No one knows where he went. No one knows if he's dead or alive. "
"Haha." Ye Kong laughed dryly and said, "No one knows where he went? No one knows if he's dead or alive? Well said, well done! Silencing people and pushing all the blame onto the dead isn't enough! You even wanted to clean up all the corpses and pretend to be on the run. Chen Zhijie, you are indeed ruthless! "
Chen Zhijie thought to himself, Ji Xiaoxin was the one who thought of such a ruthless and evil plan for me. This kid's plan was indeed not bad!
He was pleased with himself and said in a different tone, "Sir Ye, can you not suspect someone before the trial? As an Old Prison Canon, let me remind you that it's easy to be wrongly accused like this! Actually, the matter is very clear. Li Dongxu discovered that the matter had been exposed and killed everyone in the flying car. Then, he absconded to escape punishment! Sir, you are still too inexperienced! "
Flaunting his seniority. Ye Kong snorted coldly and asked, "That Li Dongxu was the highest manager of that flying car. He could have left on his own. Even if he wanted to escape punishment, I don't think there was a need for him to kill everyone in the car, right?"
Chen Zhijie snorted and said, "Sir, you're asking the wrong person. I think you should quickly send people to capture Li Dongxu and ask him personally. Then, you can prove my innocence! "
It was obvious that Li Dongxu was definitely dead. Where could he go to capture him? Ye Kong also knew that Chen Zhijie was not easy to deal with. He immediately ordered his men to detain Chen Zhijie and postpone the trial.
Ye Kong returned to the mountain and opened a court to interrogate the case. He had originally wanted to give Chen Zhijie and the others a show of strength and intimidate them. However, he did not expect that his experience in torture was not as good as Chen Zhijie, who had been immersed in this field for thousands of years. It was a little difficult for him to back down.
After the court was dismissed, Ye Kong and the others returned to the small courtyard. All of them stared at each other. If it was killing someone or something, everyone was good at it. However, it was more troublesome to interrogate this kind of blunder.
Da Yu said angrily, "I hate that old bastard's arrogance. I should go over and slap him a few times! Look at how he keeps saying that Sir is too inexperienced. How hateful. Da Yu wants to beat him up! "
Ye Kong smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, it's not so refreshing to fight with this kind of old fox."
Wu Yong said, "If I had known earlier, I would have killed him when he was arrested. That would have been more satisfying."
Kuang Peng said, "That's right. If I had killed him at that time, it wouldn't have been a problem. However, things have already come to this. If I killed him without finding out the truth, it would cause a huge uproar in the Celestial World. It would give East Deity and West Deity a chance to take advantage of it. It's really hard to back down now! "
Ye Kong smiled and said, "It's fine. That Chen Zhijie is already in my custody. I believe everyone on this mountain knows that there's no hope for him to make a comeback. I think his iron board might not be so solid. As long as I use some tricks, I think I will naturally have a chance to overthrow Chen Zhijie! "
After Wu Yong heard this, he smiled and said, "I knew that Young Master Ye would have a way. Although Chen Zhijie is an old fox, Young Master Ye is also a little fox."
After Wu Yong finished speaking, he felt that this analogy was a little inappropriate. However, he heard Ye Kong say, "Little fox it is then. I want to see which fox is more powerful."
Just as they were talking, someone outside requested to see them.
"I am Iron Prison Mountain's middle rank jailer, Ji Xiaoxin. I request to see Lord Ye. I have an important matter to report!"
Wu Yong was stunned after hearing this. He raised his thumb at Ye Kong and said, "Young Master Ye is indeed clever. Before I even finished speaking, someone came to report and expose me!"
Ye Kong was also stunned. He said, "I also didn't expect it to be so fast."
