A strange phenomenon appeared in the sky above Shen Du.
The clouds rolled back, revealing a giant funnel. The end of the funnel pointed at the Ministry of Justice.
Dense spiritual energy gushed out of the funnel and landed on Madam Chu's body.
Madam Chu's resentment disappeared, but her aura rose rapidly. From early-stage Fourth Realm, to mid-stage Fourth Realm, to peak-stage Fourth Realm, it was like a hot knife through butter. Her body emitted a powerful Fifth Realm aura.
Zhou Zhong's pressure on him completely disappeared at this moment.
Prince Shou turned to look at Zhou Zhong, then looked away.
Zhang Chun got up from the ground and looked at Zhou Zhong discreetly. He coughed heavily and spat out another mouthful of blood.
After reaching Fifth Realm, Madam Chu calmed down. She stood quietly in the court and bowed to everyone in the court. "I've been wronged for 20 years. When I see this evil man again, I can't control my emotions. Please don't blame me. I'm fine now. You can continue with the trial …"
The people at the side looked at each other, speechless.
Was there a need to continue with the trial?
Humans could be bullied, but not the heavens.
This woman's resentment was so strong that it could even trigger the heavens and earth to fill her body with dense spiritual energy, allowing her to reach Fifth Realm. If Cui Ming didn't do anything cruel to her, why would she hate Cui Ming so much?
The severity of this matter was beyond the case itself.
The capital of Great Zhou, under the emperor's feet, the heavens actually created a Fifth Realm evil spirit. How ironic was this?
Behind the table, Zhou Zhong looked at Prince Shou and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Prince Shou hid his hands in his sleeves and shook his head. "You're the presiding judge. Don't ask me. I don't know these things …"
Zhou Zhong looked at Madam Chu and said, "What grievances do you have? You can tell us in detail."
Madam Chu raised her head and said slowly, "More than 20 years ago, when Cui Ming was still in Yangqiu County …"
Madam Chu spoke slowly. In the court of the Ministry of Justice, the officials at the side, like Li Mu, were shocked.
After experiencing the vision of heaven and earth, they no longer doubted the woman's words. According to her, Princess Yunyang's son-in-law, Cui Ming, the Assistant Minister of the Secretariat, was a complete beast!
For the sake of his future, not only did he kill his fiancée, he even framed his fiancée's entire clan for colluding with the Heretical Cultivation and killed her to silence her. Such actions were extremely beastly, and he was simply even more despicable than Chen Shimei. The heavens must be blind to allow him to advance smoothly and sit at such a high position …
After their impression of Cui Ming changed, some people even began to suspect that the collusion of the Jiujiang Prefectural Governor with the Demon Sect was also a trick he had used in order to step on the corpses of the Jiujiang Prefectural Governor's family and advance in the officialdom.
After Madam Chu finished speaking, the court of the Ministry of Justice fell into a long silence.
Zhou Zhong finally looked at Cui Ming and asked, "Assistant Minister Cui, do you have anything else to say?"
Cui Ming did not say a word. At this point, no matter what he said, it would be useless.
Zhou Zhong said calmly, "First detain Cui Ming and wait for Her Majesty to deal with him."
At this moment, Cui Ming was calm and allowed the bailiffs of the Ministry of Justice to put on the shackles that restricted his mana. After he was taken away, a figure descended from the sky. Mr Mei walked in and said, "Her Majesty has decreed that Cui Ming is to be taken to the prison of the Imperial Clan Temple."
Very few things that happened in the Luoyang could be hidden from the Empress of the Seventh Realm. The Empress had probably already predicted this when the vision appeared in the sky.
Madam Chu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Mu and Zhang Chun. She said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you …"
Zhang Chun's face was pale. He patted his chest and said, "No need to thank me. This is what I should do …"
Then he looked at Li Mu and extended his hand. He said, "Do you have any more healing pills? Quickly give me some. That damned Cui Ming. That palm strike contained at least 30% of his power. I almost died …"
Li Mu took out a bottle of pills and threw it to him. He said, "Don't be so stubborn next time. Even if you want to protect a witness, you don't have to take that palm strike."
Zhang Chun took the pills and said, "The situation was urgent. I didn't have time to think so much. This time, I need to rest for a while …"
Cui Ming was the emperor's son-in-law. Even if he broke the law, he would not be paraded through the streets in front of the people of the Luoyang. The people of the Ministry of Justice secretly sent him to the Imperial Clan Temple in the palace. The doors of the Ministry of Justice opened. The people scrambled to look inside, but they saw nothing.
Li Mu walked out of the Ministry of Justice. Someone impatiently asked, "Constable Li, what's going on inside? Why did the sky change just now?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "That villain has confessed and is in jail."
The people were in an uproar.
"What? That thing is true?"
"I thought that this kind of thing only happened in dramas!"
"This Cui Ming is even more evil than Chen Shimei. This kind of person should be cut into pieces!"
…
Li Mu saw the anger of the people and felt that it was a pity. If only Su He was in the Luoyang right now and could see this scene with her own eyes.
She didn't come to the Luoyang to find Li Mu. She was probably still in the array. After this, he would immediately return to the Northern Region and tell her about Cui Ming's fate. Then, he would go to Baiyun Mountain to reunite with Liu Hanyan.
"Constable Li, good job. Thanks to you, this villain can be punished!"
"You really are the justice of the Luoyang!"
"Please accept our respect!"
Sensing the strong Psyche Power from the people, Li Mu was stunned. Usually, he would redress the grievances for the people. Perhaps the people were used to it. However, he had been plotting behind the scenes this whole time. The person who contributed in front of the stage, spoke out in the golden palace, and was almost killed by Cui Ming in the court of the Ministry of Justice was someone else …
"Pfft …"
Zhang Chun stood beside Li Mu. He clutched his chest and couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.
When he returned home gloomily, Madam Zhang saw his blood-stained official robe and ran up to him in shock. She asked in a panic, "What happened? Where did the blood come from? Didn't you go to the imperial court? How did this happen …"
"It's just a small injury. It's not a big deal." Zhang Chun popped a pill into his mouth and said confidently, "That Cui Ming is indeed a beast. Just now in the court of the Ministry of Justice, seeing that the matter was exposed, he actually wanted to destroy the witness. Fortunately, I stepped forward bravely and saved the witness..."
Madam Zhang took off his blood-stained robe and scolded, "You're the only one who knows how to show off. If something happened to you, what would Yiyi and I do?"
Zhang Chun snorted and said, "I'm not showing off. This is what I should do as an official and a man. It's useless for a man to be handsome. He must be righteous. If Cui Ming wasn't handsome, he wouldn't have been able to deceive those women. Some women are just short-sighted. They only care about a man's appearance and don't understand the inner workings of a man …"
Madam Zhang's heart ached. "Yes, yes, yes. You're right. Sit down first. Do you feel any discomfort? Where are you hurt? Does it hurt …"
Ministry of Justice.
After Cui Ming was taken away, the Xiao Royal Family and some officials from the old party came to inquire about the situation.
The Minister of Personnel frowned and said, "How did this happen?!"
Zhou Zhong shook his head and said, "I also didn't think that the woman's resentment would be so deep. I originally wanted to force her into becoming a demon and kill her while I was at it, but I didn't think that it would stimulate her resentment and allow her to reach the fifth realm. It's all my fault …"
The Minister of Personnel said, "You can't blame Lord Zhou. No one expected this to happen. I didn't expect Assistant Minister Cui to have such a terrible past. He's in big trouble this time …"
Prince Shou said, "Since he's in the Imperial Clan Temple, I'll think of a way to get him out …"
"You can't." The Minister of Personnel said hurriedly, "Heaven and Earth have shown signs of abnormalities. Your Highness, you can't interfere in this matter. I think Princess Yunyang will think of a way. We can only watch …"
Prince Shou put his hands back into his sleeves and said, "Then there's no other way. I've done everything I can …"
After leaving the Ministry of Justice, Li Mu did not go home, nor did he return to the Divine Capital yamen. Instead, he brought Madam Chu and Mr. Mei to the palace.
The situation in the court of the Ministry of Justice was very dangerous just now. Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was too dangerous just now. If you were completely possessed in the court, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice could kill you directly …"
Madam Chu was silent for a moment before she said, "Young Master told me that I must be rational in court. However, when Lord Zhang let me out, I suddenly lost control of my emotions. Now that I think about it, someone must have controlled me …"
Li Mu paused and asked, "Who?"
Madam Chu thought for a moment and said, "It was that assistant minister …"
Li Mu was shocked. "The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, Zhou Zhong?"
Madam Chu nodded.
Li Mu murmured, "Why did he control you? Did he want you to lose your rationality and be killed by Cui Ming? Dead people tell no tales?"
Madam Chu shook her head and said, "After that, he used his aura to suppress me. With his strength, he could have easily destroyed my soul, but he didn't do so …"
With Madam Chu's cultivation at the Fourth Realm, to destroy her soul with aura alone would require extremely strong strength. Li Mu was shocked. "Zhou Zhong is that strong?"
Madam Chu said, "I can feel that he's very strong, very strong …"
