Chapter 604: Scared to Death

The middle-aged man sneered, then turned and ran away.

Xie Siyu snorted coldly, kicked his feet on the ground, and caught up with the fleeing middle-aged man in two jumps, then flipped over his head, landed steadily, his clothes fluttering, and stood with his back to him.

The middle-aged man's face changed, and he turned around and ran again.

Xie Siyu flipped in the air and blocked his way again.

The middle-aged man saw that he couldn't escape, his eyes were fierce, he pulled out a dagger, and rushed towards Xie Siyu.

Xie Siyu threw the sword in his hand casually, and the sword hit the middle-aged man's chest horizontally, knocking him out directly.

The sword bounced back, Xie Siyu reached out to catch it, and stood with the sword.

The middle-aged man picked up the dagger, climbed up awkwardly, rubbed his chest, and prepared to attack again.

Xie Siyu looked grim, "Want to die?"

The middle-aged man froze, his eyes fearful.

Xie Siyu turned and left, "Follow me, if you dare to run... you will die!"

......

Ning Chen arrived at the Supervisory Department.

After seeing Geng Jing, the latter looked grim.

Without waiting for Ning Chen to ask, Geng Jing said directly: "Zhou Anshi is dead."

Ning Chen was shocked, "How did he die?"

Geng Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Frightened to death!"

"Huh?"

Geng Jing said: "I arranged two silver clothes to pretend to be death row prisoners who killed and robbed, and locked them in the same cell with Zhou Anshi...I wanted to scare Zhou Anshi and get some words out of him, but I found out this morning that he was dead."

Ning Chen was numb.

Suddenly, he frowned, "No, Zhou Anshi dared to join the game, he is not a timid person."

Geng Jing looked helpless, "I have examined the body, there is no fatal injury...I heard that Zhou Anshi had palpitations, and was locked up with two death row prisoners, and was scared to death!"

Ning Chen was speechless.

"Does your majesty know?"

Geng Jing shook his head, "Not yet... I'm in big trouble this time."

"Zhou Anshi is dead, the Grand Marshal will not let it go, and my position as the purple-robed official of the Supervisory Department has come to an end!"

"I will go to the palace to apologize in a while, and the Supervisory Department will be handed over to you in the future."

Ning Chen frowned and said, "It's not that serious, your majesty still trusts you."

Geng Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If it were in the past, it might not be so serious... But it's different now, Prince Duan just died, and your majesty is in a bad mood."

"Zhou Anshi is behind the Grand Marshal, and those censors will not let me go."

"The Supervisory Department is responsible for supervising all officials, and I have offended too many people... All the officials of Daxuan are looking forward to me getting into trouble and hoping that the Supervisory Department will be disbanded."

"Ning Chen, I can not be in this position, but the Supervisory Department cannot be disbanded... The brothers of the Supervisory Department have offended too many people. Once they lose the protection of the Supervisory Department, I am afraid that few people will survive in the end."

Ning Chen's face was solemn.

Geng Jing said: "Ning Chen, I will go to the palace to plead guilty in a while. If I am dismissed, you must find a way to take my place... The Supervisory Office must not fall into the hands of others."

Ning Chen frowned, "Don't worry, let me think of a way."

"Old Geng, block the news of Zhou Anshi's death... Give me some time, I will definitely find a way."

"This matter not only involves you, I also have to take responsibility... Another student died, and I should change my chief examiner."

Ning Chen's eyes flickered, and his mind raced.

"Old Geng, are the two silver-clad people you sent to pretend to be death row prisoners reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable!" Geng Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Gao Ziping and Tang Yongzhen."

Ning Chen's face changed drastically.

He stared at Geng Jing for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly.

No wonder Geng Jing was so evasive and didn't say the names of the two silver-clad people just now.

Gao Ziping and Tang Yongzhen are both from the same school.

This is the end of it!

No matter how Zhou Anshi died, Gao Ziping and Tang Yongzhen were not free from responsibility.

"I shouldn't have let them go back to the Supervisory Department."

Ning Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Old Geng, destroy the body!"

Geng Jing was shocked.

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Destroy the body, there will be no evidence."

"But many people saw Zhou Anshi being brought to the Supervisory Department... This matter can't be concealed."

Ning Chen said: "Announce to the public that Zhou Anshi had left the Supervisory Department last night... He fled for fear of crime."

"Then, put all the blame on Zhou Anshi for the death of Wang Bo and others."

Geng Jing shook his head, "You are contradictory, it doesn't make sense... The death of Wang Bo and others is related to Zhou Anshi, how could we let him leave the Supervisory Department?"

Ning Chen said: "It makes sense. We let Zhou Anshi leave because we didn't find evidence... Later we found evidence that he murdered Wang Bo and others, and wanted to arrest him When he was about to leave, Zhou Anshi had already fled for fear of crime. "

Geng Jing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's useless. Have you forgotten what the Supervisory Department is? How can we let the suspect go if the case is not investigated clearly? What's more, when there is evidence... don't forget the bag of arsenic."

"Zhou Anshi and Shen Wanzhou are already suspects. No one will believe that they will be let go!"

Ning Chen smiled bitterly and rubbed his eyebrows, "Don't worry, let me think about it again."

Geng Jing was about to speak when a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Geng Ziyi, the general wants to see you!"

Ning Chen and Geng Jing's faces changed drastically and looked at each other... Why did the general come at this time?

Geng Jing smiled bitterly, "It seems that this matter can't be concealed!"

Ning Chen's eyes flickered, and he said, "Stop him. Even if he is the Grand Marshal, he can't enter the Supervisory Office without permission, right?"

"Old Geng, we need time now... Give me a day, and I will definitely handle this matter."

Geng Jing thought about it and nodded slightly.

"Then don't show up, I'll go!"

Ning Chen shook his head and said, "I'll go with you. I also want to meet this Grand Marshal."

The two came to the door of the Supervisory Office.

The Grand Marshal is already in his seventies, with white hair and beard, but he still occupies the position of Grand Marshal and refuses to let go.

It can be seen that the Grand Marshal is very greedy for power.

"Your Majesty, Lord Geng!"

The Grand Marshal bowed his hands.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. The Grand Marshal was not surprised when he saw him just now, as if he knew that he was in the Supervisory Office?

"Sir Geng, how is the case going?"

Geng Jing said, "We are investigating!"

The commander spoke slowly and bowed, "Sir Geng is very observant. I believe that you will be able to clear An Shi's name... But the imperial examination is approaching, so please hurry up."

"An Shi has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he is determined to serve the court... He has studied hard for ten years. If he misses the imperial examination because of this incident, it will be a pity."

Geng Jing nodded, "Don't worry, Sir, I will find out the truth as soon as possible."

"That's good. I absolutely believe in you, Sir Geng."

"By the way, can you let me see An Shi? He suffers from palpitations and has to take medicine every other day... If he doesn't take the medicine, his life may be in danger!"
