The Return of the Demon

Chapter 605: Victims of the Power Seizure

Geng Jing smiled and said: "Master Taiwei, please give me the medicine, and I will pass it on to Zhou Anshi."

The Taiwei smiled and said: "This medicine must be cooked and taken immediately... I have brought all the people who cooked it."

"I understand the rules of the Supervision Department, and I have reported this matter to Your Majesty... With His Majesty's permission, I can decoct the child An Shi on the spot."

"If the prince and Lord Geng are worried, they can check the medicinal materials I brought, or send someone to supervise on site."

Ning Chen and Geng Jing's expressions changed.

If His Majesty approves it, then there is nothing they can do to stop it.

Ning Chen stared at the Taiwei, "Since you know that Zhou Anshi has heart palpitations, why didn't you send medicine yesterday?"

The Taiwei smiled and said: "I have been sick at home all year round and have no news... I went to the Gyeonggi Yamen this morning and found out that An Shi's child was brought to the Supervision Department."

"I know that the gate of the Supervision Department is not so easy to enter, so I went to ask His Majesty!"

Geng Jing smiled bitterly. It seemed that Zhou Anshi's death could no longer be concealed... His Majesty had given permission, but he couldn't resist it, right?

"Lord Taiwei, I'll tell you the truth...last night, Zhou Anshi suffered from heart palpitations and died!"

The Taiwei suddenly froze.

After a while, he stared at Geng Jing with wide eyes and asked, "What did you say?"

Geng Jing sighed and said, "Sir Taiwei, please forgive me!"

"An Shi, An Shi...my poor grandson, how can you bear the thought of a white-haired man giving away a black-haired man?"

The Taiwei howled loudly.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at him...crying for a long time, there was only thunder but no rain.

"Geng Jing, you are so disrespectful of human life, you are a murderer, how can you give my grandson his life? I am going to file a complaint against you, and I must make you pay with your blood."

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Sir Taiwei, Zhou Anshi concealed his heart palpitations. This was an accident."

"Accident? My grandson is not a fool... He knew that if he didn't take medicine for his heart palpitations, his life would be in danger. How could he not say anything? It was you... it was you who killed him. I will not let it go. , absolutely not!”

"Geng Jing, you are disrespecting human life. I am going to sue you... Let's see you in front of the emperor."

Ning Chen said indifferently: "Master Taiwei, shouldn't you go and see Zhou Anshi's body first?"

The captain was startled, "Yes, where is my grandson's body?"

Ning Chen asked a man in red to take the Taiwei to see Zhou Anshi's body. He could only look at it but not touch it, let alone take it away.

After the Taiwei entered, Ning Chen frowned and said, "It seems that Zhou Anshi became the victim of this old guy's power grab."

"But one thing I can't figure out is that Zhou Anshi has heart palpitations. Why didn't he tell him?"

Geng Jing smiled bitterly, "Perhaps Zhou Anshi came with the determination to die."

Ning Chen shook his head, "Zhou Anshi is young, talented, and has a promising future... Moreover, I don't think he is someone who is not afraid of life and death."

Geng Jing sighed, "It's too late to say anything now... I have to go to the palace to plead guilty."

"Ning Chen, remember what I said, the Supervision Department must not fall into the hands of others."

Ning Chen thought for a while and said: "I went with you, but another student died, and I have to apologize... It's time for me to be replaced as the examiner."

Geng Jing nodded.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped over.

Geng Jing, the man on horseback, also knew Jiang Daniu from Ning Chen's house.

Jiang Daniu reined in his horse, turned over and dismounted, and walked forward quickly, "I've seen the prince, I've seen Lord Geng!"

Ning Chen looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Daniu hesitated and glanced at Geng Jing.

"Old Geng is one of our own. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Jiang Daniu leaned over and said, "My lord, the person you are looking for has been caught."

"The person I'm looking for?"

Ning Chen didn't react for a while.

Jiang Daniu said: "That's the person in the portrait... Miss Yudie recognized that person when she went to deliver food to Miss Zisu today."

Ning Chen was ecstatic.

"Where are the people?"

"In the house!"

Ning Chen said with a smile: "It's so difficult to find a way out, but there is still a village with dark flowers and bright flowers."

"Old Geng..." Ning Chen looked at Geng Jing and suddenly paused.

Geng Jing was seen staring directly at him.

"What's wrong?"

Geng Jing exclaimed: "There are no roads in the mountains and rivers, but there is a village with dark willows and bright flowers... You are worthy of being my Daxuan Poet Immortal. When he opens his mouth, it will be an eternal song."

Ning Chen saw a black line on his forehead and couldn't help but said: "Are you sick? Are you still worried about this?"

"Old Geng, don't go into the palace yet. Take Li Gui with you and follow me home to interrogate the people in the portrait... There may be a turn for the better in this matter."

Geng Jing nodded, "Okay!"

The two were about to leave when the 'distraught' Taiwei came out.

He grabbed Geng Jing's sleeve and said, "Geng, you murderer, come with me to the palace to see Your Majesty."

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Master Taiwei, please go to the palace and file a complaint... We caught a person who ordered a student to be hanged in front of my palace. After interrogating him, Geng Ziyi and I We will go to the palace together to plead guilty.”

The Taiwei's expression changed slightly.

Ning Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Old Geng, let's go!"

Geng Jing asked someone to take Li Gui out of the prison and followed Ning Chen away.

Return to Ning Mansion.

Ning Chen saw the person in the portrait.

"Is this the person in the portrait?"

Xie Siyu stood with his sword in hand and said coolly: "Yes, he is in disguise!"

As he spoke, he suddenly drew his sword.

A cold light flashed.

The short beard on the middle-aged man's chin disappeared.

"A trivial skill, an insult to the art of disguise!"

The middle-aged man was stunned.

Ning Chen's mouth twitched slightly, "Where did you find this person?"

Xie Siyu said: "Junior Sister Yudie found it outside the clinic."

"Clinic? Zi Su's clinic?"

Xie Siyu nodded.

Ning Chen's eyes sank, staring at the middle-aged man, "What's your name?"

The middle-aged man remained silent.

Ning Chen stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and with a few snaps, the middle-aged man's five fingers were all broken with a sharp bone cracking sound!

"Ah..."

The middle-aged man screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Ning Chen said sternly: "This king has no patience to waste time with you now... It's best if you answer whatever I ask? Otherwise, I'll let you ride the wooden donkey of the Supervisory Department."

Geng Jing's mouth twitched, Ning Chen seemed to have a special liking for the wooden donkey, and always wanted the prisoner to try it.

"I'll ask you again, what's your name?"

The middle-aged man was sweating on his forehead and his face was full of fear. "My name is Ding Qian... I don't know what I did wrong? Please tell me clearly, so that I can die with a clear conscience."

"Jiang Daniu, bring the man in!"

Jiang Daniu brought Li Gui in.

"Li Gui, take a good look, is it this man who ordered you?"

When Ding Qian saw Li Gui, he was panicked.

Li Gui stared at him for a while, "It's him, it's him... Although he doesn't have a beard, I remember these eyes, there's no mistake, it's him."

Ning Chen sneered: "Ding Qian, do you know why I arrested you now? Do you want to tell me yourself, or do you want me to ask you one by one? If I ask, I'm afraid you won't be able to save the remaining fingers."
