The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard Chapter 1928 - 1927: Joint Trial by the Three Departments

Everyone in the court looked shocked, their eyes once again focusing on Old Ma.

The Guard Captain shouted angrily at Old Ma, "Is this how things are?"

Old Ma kowtowed and cried out loudly, "I am wronged, I am truly wronged! This powder ca from the courtyard of the Consort Prince, but it was the Consort Prince’s steward who gave the dicine for my injuries, it’s not croton powder!"

The Guard Captain sneered coldly, "Even now, you dare to deny it?"

Old Ma cried out hoarsely, "No, every word I say is true! The Consort Prince is in seclusion inside his room, everyone knows that, how could I have seen him! If you don’t believe , call over the steward from the Consort Prince’s courtyard and you’ll know when you ask."

The Guard Captain shouted, "You won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin, bring the steward up then!"

He waved his hand, and two guards went up and imdiately brought Feng Quan over.

Feng Quan trembled as he knelt on the ground, looking bewildered and nervously said, "Sir, why did you call for ?"

The Guard Captain scolded loudly, "Feng Quan, you are truly heartless! This packet of croton powder, was it you who gave it to Old Ma?"

Feng Quan sneaked a glance at Long Fei, then suddenly lay flat on the ground, crying out, "Sir, I simply followed the Consort Prince’s orders, I didn’t know what was in it! Old Ma ca to find with a problem yesterday, so I went to the Consort Prince for help. He only gave three packets of powder, without saying what it was!"

The Guard Captain laughed coldly, "Oh, the fox’s tail is finally showing!"

He stared at Long Fei, shouting, "Consort Prince, you truly have deep scheming. At this ti, you still leisurely hide by the side drinking wine?"

Long Fei clapped his hands, stood up, and laughed loudly, "Wonderful, brilliant. In my whole life, it’s the first ti I’ve seen such a spectacular show."

The Guard Leader’s expression did not change as he stared coldly at Long Fei, "Consort Prince, enough with the useless talk. How do you explain these things?"

Long Fei approached and said to Feng Quan indifferently, "Steward, you are truly a law-abiding citizen. Before anyone has even tortured you, you’ve already confessed everything!"

Feng Quan, kneeling, repeatedly kowtowed and shouted, "Consort Prince, at this point, don’t bla . Ten thousand warhorses have diarrhea, this is a capital cri, even I dare not hide it for you!"

Long Fei laughed, "Well said, you truly opened my eyes. When I first arrived, you warmly entertained , deliberately tried to win over, even revealing so insider parts of this black water conspiracy to gain my trust. You did all this just for today, didn’t you?"

Feng Quan broke into a cold sweat and shook his head vigorously, "Consort Prince, you can’t talk nonsense. If you sincerely want to fra and charge with a cri, I have nothing to say."

The Chief Inspector clapped his palm and said, "Consort Prince, I did not expect that you, a future mber of the Imperial Family and Nobility, could do such things. What can I say about you? How about this, everyone here today is one of our people. With just one word from you, these matters will have nothing to do with you. I will pin all the charges on Feng Quan, what do you think?"

Feng Quan was frightened, his face turning pale as he cried out repeatedly, "No! Have rcy, sir! Have rcy! This was all done by the Consort Prince, nothing to do with ! Every word I’ve said is true, if there’s even a shred of falsehood, may the heavens strike with Five Thunders!"

A group of coachn, guards, and various officials were all discussing, their eyes all turned towards Long Fei.

At this mont, there was a sound of drums and gongs.

In the distance, soone beat the gong, leading an eight-carried sedan chair coming this way.

A team of people, a mighty thousand strong, was approaching.

At the head of the group was a young man on a warhorse, none other than the Third Young Master of the Li Family, Li Yuanqing.

As soon as he arrived, everyone imdiately clasped their fists to pay respects.

With a dark expression, he swept his gaze over the crowd and said gloomily, "The good deed you’ve done has called upon the Punishnt Court, the Dali Court, the Imperial Envoy Court, and a joint tribunal of the Three Departnts."

"What?"

Everyone present looked puzzled, not expecting the matter to escalate like this?

The sedan chair lowered, and a woman ca out, going over to stand beside Long Fei and said, "This princess ca to join in the fun today as well, such a thrilling scene, I must tell the emperor when I get back!"

A crowd of people broke into a cold sweat, lowering their heads and exchanging glances.

All the guards on the scene were disard by the officers from the Punishnt Court, who shouted, "Take them all to the main hall for questioning!"

Everyone was taken away together, heading to the inspection departnt’s assembly hall.

The Head of the Three Departnts sat above, with the Seventh Princess and Li Yuanqing on the left, and other high-ranking mbers of the Li Family on the right.

Long Fei and the others stood below the hall.

Realizing the situation was unfavorable, Feng Quan preemptively knelt on the ground, his legs weak and unable to straighten.

Other departntal heads were also sweating profusely, with their heads hanging low, secretly using spiritual power to hastily discuss strategies.

The presiding officer, from the Ministry of Punishnt, led the chief judgent, with accompanying judges from the Dali Temple and the Imperial Envoy Court.

The Punishnt Departnt Vice Minister knocked the gavel and loudly asked, "Tomorrow is the Emperor’s Grand Sacrificial Ceremony, and instead of preparing the horse barns strictly, a situation has occurred with ten thousand warhorses falling ill. What are the reasons behind this? You must honestly explain. In this main hall, if anyone dares to lie, once verified, you will not escape execution, and will be dealt with severely."

Suddenly, the people below knelt down in unison, with the Guard Captain clasping his fists and knocking his head on the ground, saying, "Sir, I have already investigated. This case was undoubtedly directed by the Consort Prince, with both human and material evidence present, one question and it will be clear."

The Chief Inspector also knelt and replied, "Sir, the Consort Prince previously had a conflict with Commandant Shen Huai’en, and forced him to death in prison. Because of this, he harbored a grudge against the Li Family, who then deliberately set up a sche, making Old Ma add croton powder into the warhorses’ drinking pool, causing ten thousand horses to have diarrhea all night long. Old Ma and the Consort Prince’s steward have already confessed clearly, all of this was done by the Consort Prince!"

Feng Quan kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Sir, have rcy, I was forced by the Consort Prince, it’s none of my concern!"

Old Ma knelt on the ground, his face ashen, already at a loss for words.

The other accountants, clerks, and officials all kowtowed together, "Please, sir, look into this matter clearly!"

The Head Officer of the Three Departnts stared at Long Fei, frowning, and asked, "Consort Prince, was it you who submitted a morial to the Emperor, saying you wanted to thoroughly investigate corruption here? How do you explain the issue with the horses?"

Long Fei smiled faintly, "The innocent will be proved innocent, the guilty will be proved guilty. A lie told ten thousand tis is still a lie. Gentlen, you only need to call so witnesses up, and one question will reveal the truth."

The Head Officer of the Three Departnts exchanged a glance and nodded, "Alright, then please have the Consort Prince bring the witnesses up."

Long Fei nodded to the princess, and soone imdiately brought a few people up to the hall.

Upon seeing the witnesses, everyone was shocked and widened their eyes.

Among these witnesses was the forr Chief Physician, now the Deputy Chief Physician, Li Shiren.

The Chief Inspector urgently cried out, "Li Shiren, why are you here? What benefits has the Consort Prince given you? Do not talk nonsense!"

Li Shiren, with a grieving face, helplessly cried out, "Lord Inspector, at this point, what can you still have hide? It’s over, I’ve already explained everything to the Consort Prince, stop acting here."

The Chief Inspector’s face turned red as he shouted, "Li Shiren, it seems you’ve really been bought by the Consort Prince!"

"I’ll kill you!"

The Guard Leader shouted angrily as he jumped up, throwing a punch at Li Shiren.

Unexpectedly, the situation erupted, and the power of the punch was explosive.

As Li Shiren’s head was about to be shattered by the punch, there was a crack, and a splash of blood soared over two ters high in the hall.

Long Fei acted, pinching a sword gesture with his right hand, slashing fiercely at the Guard Leader’s arm.

A sharp, white Sword Qi, unmatched in its sharpness, caused the Guard Leader to cry out in pain as it grazed past Li Shiren’s body and crashed onto the ground.
