Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World Chapter 321: Cai Yixue Will be Executed??

In the morning, the entire city was in lockdown. People were stunned when the news spread.

Governor Wu's son has been killed!

Being the son of the Province Governor, Young Master Wu was quite notorious in the city. After all, who would dare to say anything to the son of the governor?

A single mistake, and you won't even know when your body got disposed of.

However, the little tyrant of the city ssed with the daughter of Cai Yunha! The people at the banquet were already anticipating a fight between Cai Yixue and Wu Xiao.

But the news in the morning ca like a bombshell.

Wu Xiao is dead!

And the suspect is Cai Yixue!

Everyone was stunned when they heard the news. Many rejoiced, cursing Wu Xiao even after his death. Many felt dread, thinking about the incoming storm.

The main hall in the Governor's Estate, Cai Yixue, stood with shackles clenched to her wrists. Her face showed no reaction, but her cold gaze scanned everyone present.

" Ahem, since the culprit is here, we can start the proceedings." Secretary Chang, who is right below the Governor, started the speech.

" This morning, the corpse of Governor Wu's son was found in an alley. Along with his body, two of his guards' corpses had been retrieved."

" Secretary Chang, how could you say that it's Lady Cai Yixue who did it?" Li Yuan asked in a cold voice. " Lady Cai is the daughter of Grand General Cai. Certainly, she won't stoop this low to murder soone, breaking the imperial law?"

" Esteed Third Prince, we also thought that at first." Secretary Chang cleared his throat. However, it sounded more like a hyena coughing badly.

" However, we have found evidence that points towards Miss Cai Yixue."

Walking to the side, the inspector took charge. He took out the first evidence, which was a small ornant. It looked like sothing that would hang from a skirt as a dangling jewel.

" This thing was found nearby. And as many have seen Miss Cai last night in banquet, she was wearing the dress with these hanging trinkets."

" We have investigated the body, and the ti of death should be right after the banquet." The inspector rambled. " We know t that Miss Yixue left first. So, it was very possible for her to lay in ambush to kill Young Master Wu Xiao."

The crowd gasped when they heard the inspector. Cai Yixue looked at the trinket without saying a single word. However, her lips couldn't help but curl.

' Tch, looks like I should have brought soone more trusted than this maid.'

She could already guess how a piece of her dress could appear at the cri scene. The maid wasn't there to wake her up in the morning, making Cai Yixue sleep till late.

Seeing Cai Yixue stay silent, the whispers and gossip in the hall only echoed louder. The situation felt strange. Without any argunts from the accused, the inspector couldn't help but feel awkward to present corresponding evidence.

Like, if one won't even defend, how could they even attack?

Seeing the montary silence and Cai Yixue's unwillingness to speak, Li Yuan's lips trembled as he stood up.

" Ahem, that's indeed compelling evidence. However, we can't remove the suspicion that soone might have planted it. Is there anything else you can show?"

" Yes, Esteed Third Prince." The inspector nodded." If one looks at the bodies, one would see clear sword wounds on the bodies."

" And after the coroner examined the body, it was clear that all three of them died from sword wounds, and by the sa person."

" Such sharp and overbearing sword attacks resemble the Cai Family's Lightning Flow Sword Technique."

" And finally…"

The inspector opened a small box, revealing a severed head. The crowd gasped when they saw the head, and many of the girls there couldn't help but make an ugly expression.

" As you can see, there is a faint dark outline on the forehead, which only happens when the Heavenly Origin ridian gets exploded. That ans he was struck with a spiritual attack."

" Sa situation with the corpse of Young Master Wu Xiao and the other bodyguards." The inspector sneered as he looked at Cai Yixue, " We know Lady Cai is an accomplished spiritual artist. So it only solidifies her collusion in this assassination."

Cai Yixue rely glanced at the corpse and then looked at the front; her expression was the sa as before.

" Hmph! Look at her, still saying nothing."

" What's the point of acting tough here? Her cri has been proven."

" Tsk, so what if you are pretty, a criminal is just a criminal."

" Lady, your chair is cracking due to your weigh-"

" WHO SAID THAT?!" The fat lady jumped and shouted, " SAY IT ON MY FACE?"

The crowd's mumbles grew louder and louder, making it hard for the soldiers to control them.

" Ahem! Maintain the decorum!"

The voice of Third Prince Li Yuan thundered, making everyone silent as if once.

" Lady Cai, you have seen all the present evidence." Li Yuan stood up as he walked towards Cai Yixue.

" However, as a proper hearing, you are also free to state your view in this matter. After all, we can't call it a righteous investigation if we don't allow the accused to speak."

Cai Yixue raised her face and looked at Li Yuan, not a shred of fear or guilt on her face.

" I have nothing to say. Do what you like." Cai Yixue spoke calmly.

" So does that an you are admitting you killed Wu Xiao?" Li Yuan asked in a cold voice.

A faint crack appeared on Cai Yixue's cold lips, " Will it change if I said I didn't do that?"

" Hmph, you are just trying to tangle the words." Secretary Chang snorted, " Just because you are the daughter of a Grand General doesn't an you are above the imperial law!"

" We should first abolish your cultivation. After that…"

Cai Yixue didn't bother to hear Secretary Chang's ramble. Suddenly, her ear rang as he heard Li Yuan's voice.

" Yixue, soone is plotting against you in this city. If you agree to my terms, I can get you out of here."

The voice of Li Yuan appeared in her mind, making Cai Yixue surprised.

' Li Yuan can do ntal communication? Since when has he beco so capable?' Cai Yixue thought inwardly. However, she couldn't help but laugh coldly.

' No need to act before , Li Yuan. No matter what you say, I will not accept you.'

' My heart and body belong to soone else. And I would rather die than give it to you.'

Li Yuan's eyes turned cold when he heard Cai Yixue. ' You can try, Yixue. Though you have realized you can't move your internal energy due to these tal chains.'

' Since you won't accept my gracious toast, you can only drink in forfeit.'

Li Yuan's gaze beca focused as he turned around, walking back to his seat.

" Very well, since Lady Cai has refused to deny the allegations, we can only assu that she has accepted the charges."

Cai Yixue closed her eyes. ' No, I won't let you succeed, Li Yuan. If I want to kill myself, I can still do it.'

' Ah, Lingzhi…I really wanted to see you again. Father, Mother…I wish I could spend more ti with you…' Cai Yixue's mories flashed as a figure appeared in her mind.

' My beloved…I never confessed my feelings to you, have I? Alas, as ill fated I am, I don't wish to drag you down with . Hope you stay well with Chenlan…'

' Wish we could truly grow old together…'

Cai Yixue already channeled her spiritual qi, trying to implode her soul. However, before she could do anything, a voice startled everyone.

Li Yuan's voice echoed, " By upholding the imperial law of Great Yan, I am declaring…"

" STOP!"

Before Li Yuan could finish speaking, a figure burst inside.
