Chapter 536: Chapter 538: Solving the Case_1

He casually followed the man in black wearing a bamboo hat.

Jianghu masters are always extra sensitive. After being chased by Xia Ye across two streets, the man with the bamboo hat finally realized someone was following him. His pace quickened, and once he was out of the bustling streets, he jumped onto the top of a wall and started heading toward the suburbs.

No matter what he did, though, he couldn’t shake the figure behind him.

The man with the bamboo hat continued to run, almost as if the wind was at his heels.

However, before he could reach the city gate, a figure suddenly dropped in front of him, a sword resting against his throat.

The man with the bamboo hat quickly stopped, breaking into a cold sweat. If he had slowed down any later, the sword would have pierced his throat.

"Who are you?" the man with the bamboo hat asked.

"Inspection Mansion, Xia Ye!"

The man with the bamboo hat knew he was in trouble, and tried to flee, but a short blade suddenly flew toward him and pierced his left thigh.

Because of the force, the entire blade embedded itself in his leg. He yelped once before collapsing on the ground, yelling in pain. The bamboo hat rolled to one side.

"Still running now?" Xia Ye walked up to him, his voice cold as his sword pointed at the man’s throat.

"No, no more running. Please, sir, spare my life," the man in the bamboo hat begged.

"Come with me to the Inspection Mansion!"

...

The man with the bamboo hat was called Jian Rong, a Jianghu swordsman. Once he arrived at the Inspection Mansion, he quickly confessed his transaction with Mrs. Zhi and how he had killed Li Yiguang, stating that everything he did was ordered by Mrs. Zhi, promising him a reward afterward.

The reward was the package Mrs. Zhi threw from the carriage window, which she specifically waited several days after the incident to give to Jian Rong.

Just as Song Cheng was about to summon Mrs. Zhi, Xia Ye suggested they should summon Jiang Fengzhen as well.

He’d been following the two women for several days, and noticed they frequently met to conspire at a Tea House.

...

Xia Ye told Nan Feng that this should be the last trial and that after today, Nan Feng could leave the detention room.

Defendants were usually shackled when led to court, but Xia Ye prevented anyone from doing so to Nan Feng.

He didn’t allow Nan Feng to be shackled.

"Fengfeng, once the results are out, I’ll take you to eat nice things and visit fun places, so you can relax," Xia Ye said, leading Nan Feng toward the court.

Nan Feng nodded: "Okay, I trust you."

If Xia Ye said it was the last time, then it must be the last time.

As Nan Feng approached the court, she saw a group of people standing in front of the door, including Xiaoqing and Xue Ling. Even the Butler was there, which likely meant that Dragon Three was present as well.

Seeing Nan Feng, Xiaoqing excitedly waved, though she didn’t dare make a sound. Xue Ling also clenched her fist in Nan Feng’s direction, signaling her not to be afraid.

Nan Feng gave them a light smile before calmly kneeling in the courtroom.

The trail had begun.

"Summon the defendant Mrs. Li!"

Mrs. Li, in fact, was Mrs. Zhi, her maiden name being Li.

Mrs. Zhi was apprehended at Zhi’s Beauty Hall and had been reluctant to come all the way, insisting that she had done nothing wrong and had no reason to be taken to the Inspection Mansion. In the end, she was escorted here.

As Mrs. Zhi knelt in the court, her tone was noticeably fierce: "Your Honor, I haven’t broken any laws. On what grounds was I brought here?"

Song Cheng pointed at Jian Rong sitting in the courtroom: "Do you recognize him?"

Jian Rong, being injured in the leg, was permitted to sit. He locked eyes with Mrs. Zhi.
