Chapter Eleven: The Crow's Basin Case Concludes, The Devil's Shadow Reappears

  At night, Zhan Zhao couldn't sleep, tossing and turning as he thought about the events of the day. This was getting out of hand - after crossing over, not only had he seen ghosts, but now the demon world was involved too. Speaking of which, in Judge Bao's world, were there really so many monsters and demons?

  Besides, what's going on with Bai Haozi? If we're talking about martial arts, there are very few people in the world who can hurt him. Moreover, Bai Haozi's lightness skills are exceptional, if he wants to escape, he will definitely get away unscathed. How did it end up like this? Could it be that thousands of people joined forces against him? However, if thousands of people were to attack Bai Haozi together, shouldn't he have been killed already...

  I feel like something is going to happen, it seems like I'm about to get into trouble.

  。

  There's also the Liu Shichang family, who have already been arranged to stay in the wing room. Tomorrow is the day of Wu Qing's interrogation. However, I'm still a bit worried. That Wu Qing was knocked unconscious by my own punch and didn't see his brother's appearance. But it's also clear that his brother was killed by me, and Wu Qing's body has the same intense red glow as Wu Cheng!

  Afraid that Wu Qing will also end up like Wu Cheng...

  What should we do at that time? Ah, I remember the crescent-shaped mark on Lao Bao's forehead, it seems to be able to exorcise evil spirits too... Hmm, why are they all on the brow bone?

  Zhan Zhao thought wildly and didn't know when he finally fell asleep!

  The second is that Zhan Zhao was still sleeping and was directly woken up by Wang Chao Ma Han.

  "What's going on?" Zhan Zhao rubbed his sleepy eyes in frustration. "Can't you let me sleep a bit longer?"

  The king's dynasty had a bitter smile, "Bao Daren knows that Zhan Huwei has been working hard recently, so today's promotion did not call Zhan Huwei, but Wu Qing refused to plead guilty, and also accused Zhan Daren of murder. Moreover, Wu Pan did not speak in the public hall, Bao Daren was really helpless, this is why we came to find Zhan Daren!"

  Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Refuse to confess? Sue me for murder? Wu Pen won't speak?"

  "Forget about accusing me of murder for now, the key is to get Wu Pan to speak up and then get Wu Qing to confess!" Zhang Zhao sighed.

  Wang Chao said, "Director Zhan, that Wu Pan was able to speak fluently before, why didn't he say a word in the public hall today?"

  Zhan Zhao furrowed his brow, suddenly remembering that in the past life he had watched the TV series "Judge Bao" and it was mentioned in the episode "Love in Life and Death", Gong Sun Ce said: In front of the court, the door god sits upright, left green dragon, right white tiger, heavenly axe and earthly executioner surround, grievances can't even get in!

  Wait, this doesn't seem right either. It seems that Kouzhu's vengeful spirit has already testified in the "Exchange of the Crown Prince" chapter. Could it be because it was at night? No, even if it was at night, the so-called door gods shouldn't have lost their effect, otherwise wouldn't the yamen be filled with vengeful spirits at night?

  I remember when the TV series was on, it was Old Bao who wrote the release note, and then Liu Shichang, the wronged soul in the black pot, entered the government office. Otherwise, would you like to try asking Old Bao to release him on the public platform?

  At this point, Zhan Zhao hastily said to the two Wang Chao, "Let's go see Bao Daren immediately. Maybe I also know why Wu Pen can't speak!"

  Wang Chao Ma Han heard this, and the three of them rushed to the public hall. As soon as they arrived at the public hall, Wu Qing pointed at Zhan Zhao and shouted, "Lord Bao, it's him! He's the one who killed my brother! Please, Lord, do justice for me!"

  Zhan Zhao had not spoken yet, when he heard Bao Da Ren's deep and loud shout: "Wu Qing, you said you have never killed anyone, then why did you use this sharp axe to coerce the Kaifeng Prefecture officer, it is clearly a move of a guilty conscience!"

  "Wu Qing replied: 'Sir, the officials from Kaifeng Prefecture didn't reveal their identities at first, and I thought they were bandits trying to harm my brother's two men. To protect ourselves, we took out our axes.'"

  。”

  Zhan Zhao snorted, "If Lord Bao asked you, since you knew the identity of Kaifeng Prefecture, why did you still hold an axe and resist arrest? I reckon you'd say it's because you had already offended the official, were temporarily frightened, and only wanted to escape at the time, so that's why you resisted arrest!"

  Wu Qing was taken aback and speechless, while Zhan Zhao sneered again, "But what if I killed Wu Cheng?"

  As soon as this was said, everyone in the public hall was stunned. Bao Daren's face turned black and he looked at Gong Sun Ce with a sullen expression. Gong Sun Ce slightly opened his phoenix eyes, glanced at Bao Daren, and shook his head!

  "Lord Bao, did you hear that!" Wu Qing suddenly wailed, "Please, milord, take charge for the sake of us common folk!"

  Bao Daren was slightly stunned, and Zhan Zhao ignored them, walking directly to the front of the wok, opening his heavenly eye between his eyebrows. As expected, Liu Shichang's vengeful spirit was no longer in the wok!

  Zhan Zhao looked around, and everyone was stunned. Because Zhan Zhao's brow had an extra mark, which made everyone puzzled. Only Bao Zheng seemed to be thinking deeply, frowning!

  "The gate god is outside!" Zhan Zhao muttered a few words, "The green dragon and white tiger are the main culprits of evil spirits, with extremely heavy evil energy. There are thirty-six heavenly gates on top of his head and seventy-two earthly gates under his feet. No wonder Liu Shichang can't even enter the hall!"

  Zhan Zhao's heart was actually shocked to the extreme at this moment, because under the heavenly eye, he saw clearly that in front of the hall, a faint blue light was emitted, the roof emitted black light, and blood-red color spread from the feet. Although Zhan Zhao didn't quite understand, but one look also knew, this was obviously a very ominous feeling!

  "Lord Bao!" Zhan Zhao bowed to Bao Zheng, "Please order Lord Bao to let Liu Shichang enter the hall!"

  Bao Zheng was taken aback, looking at Gong Sun Ce, who nodded slightly. Bao Da Ren slapped the shock wood and shouted loudly, "Liu Shi Chang, this court allows you to enter the hall to hear the verdict!"

  Zhan Zhao's eyes scanned the surroundings, and the green light, black light, and red light around him slowly dispersed, forming a passage. A white shadow fluttered in and disappeared into the dark bowl!

  Zhan Zhao couldn't help but smile to himself, and indeed, he had been misled by Lao Bao's words. But this way, the world really was beyond his comprehension!

  "Liu Shichang!" Zhan Zhao suddenly shouted loudly, "Do you know the person kneeling in front of the hall?"

  "The wok was sizzling, 'In response to the master's words, the humble commoner naturally recognizes that it was this man and his older brother who together used an axe to kill the humble commoner and then burned the humble commoner's corpse into a wok! Master, the humble commoner has been wrongly accused, and hopes that the master will give the humble commoner justice!'"

  Wu Qing was stunned and paralyzed on the ground, his face deathly pale, muttering to himself, "Impossible, impossible..."

  Zhan Zhao couldn't help but let out a sigh of exasperation. "Come on, big brother! You've already heard Wu Pen speak before, it's not like this is the first time you're seeing him, what's impossible about it?!"

  "Wu Qing, do you still remember when you killed me, you said while slashing at me: 'Everyone knows that wealth shouldn't be revealed, it's not our fault, but yours for not keeping your money safe and sound. Now that we two brothers have seen it, don't blame us for being ruthless, blame yourself for not being careful enough!' Each word is like a knife carving into my heart, you won't forget, will you?! Wu Qing, stop crying, on the black pot suddenly appeared a faint figure, just about to rush towards Wu Qing!"

  "Never be rude in front of Lord Bao's residence!" Zhang Zhao hastily shouted loudly.

  Only to see that man's shadow retreated back into the dark pot, the dark pot sobbed incessantly, "Please, sir, uphold justice for Cao Ming!"

  Wu Qing suddenly collapsed to the ground, his legs trembling like a sieve. Bao Daren loudly shouted, "Wu Qing, now we have Wu Pan as physical evidence and Liu Shichang as a witness, do you still not confess?"

  Wu Qing's eyes were scattered, and he didn't say a word. He simply let the yamen runner bring over the confession statement, pulled himself up to sign his name and affix his seal, then collapsed to the ground once again.

  。

  Bao Zheng looked at the confession and slapped the wooden block, "The court is now in session!"

  "Wu Qing, you and your brother are guilty of murder for financial gain, destroying evidence and corpses. Your crimes are heinous and the law cannot tolerate them. This court sentences you to death by beheading! Executioner, bring out the guillotine!"

  Several yamen runners immediately came forward, lifted out the dog-headed guillotine, and placed Wu Qing on it. Bao Da Ren held the command arrow in his hand and threw it down, "Guillotine!"

  A splash of fresh blood shot up, and several yamen runners came out, collected the corpse, and retreated!

  Bao Da said to Tang Xiaoweng, "Liu Shichang, now that the murderer who killed you has been sentenced according to law, you can rest in peace and return quickly."

  "Thank you, Lord Bao!" The black pot trembled for a moment, then fell silent!

  Zhan Zhao said to Wang Chao, "Wang Chao, send Wu Pen to where Liu Shi is, Liu Shichang has not left yet, let them have a little more family time!"

  The king's order has been received and he is leaving!

  Zhan Zhao's eyes snapped open, staring fixedly at the patch of fresh blood on the ground. His gaze was stern, as if he was guarding against something!

  Bao Daren was taken aback and stared blankly, opening his mouth to ask, "Zhan Huwei, why are you staring at the blood on the ground..."

  Suddenly, the giant sword directly came out of its scabbard and stabbed into the void, causing everyone in the hall to be shocked!

  Zhan Zhao's Heaven Eye clearly saw that a red light flashed in the blood, and a blurry figure appeared. Zhan Zhao's heart moved, and he only heard the figure roar, "Those who offend my Demon Realm will be executed!"

  Zhan Zhao sneered in his heart, damn it, this sentence again. The giant sword directly came out of its scabbard and stabbed out, but what left Zhan Zhao speechless was that the giant sword actually stabbed into thin air!

  That figure coldly laughed and was about to rush towards Zhan Zhao, but suddenly the public hall's murderous aura, which had been restrained due to Liu Shi Chang, shook violently and covered that person!

  Zhan Zhao's eyes widened, and Bao Gong in front of him seemed to feel something. A thread of green light was released from the crescent-shaped mark on his forehead, and everyone seemed not to have noticed, only Zhan Zhao's heavenly eye saw all this!

  The green light and the green light in the public hall, the black light, and the red light merged together. The figure let out a mournful cry and disappeared on top of the public hall!

  Zhan Zhao let out a breath, looked up at Bao Zheng, and saw that he was still looking puzzled. Zhan Zhao's eyes rolled, and he knew that Bao Zheng had only reacted instinctively, without realizing what had just happened. Zhan Zhao bowed to Bao Zheng, "Sir, I was just thinking of a problem related to martial arts, so I suddenly drew my sword. Then I remembered this is a public hall, so I put it back. I'm afraid I startled you, which was wrong of me!"

  Bao Zheng burst out laughing and said, "No wonder your martial arts skills are so high that you have few opponents in the Jianghu, since you can always think about martial arts problems!"

  "Great, you're overpraising me!" Zhan Zhao hastily cupped his hands together, secretly ridiculing in his heart. He casually made up an excuse and surprisingly Lao Bao believed him. It seems that Lao Bao really trusts us!

  "The case of the black basin is now closed, dismissed! Bao Gong slammed his hand on the wooden desk, and the case was settled!"
