"Thank you Lord Qiu for your kindness. Zhou and the thief are already in a fight to the death. How can we retreat again?"

On Zhou Zongshi's pale face, a pair of eyes shot out bursts of deathly energy. He stared at Xu Yi and said word by word, "With this star on his chest, Zhou Mou, I beg you to check it out to the end."

Zhou Zongshi As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience changed their minds.

The star on the official uniform of a star official is so precious. It is not only a symbol of identity and status, but also means countless privileges.

Zhou Zongshi As soon as he said these words, it was obvious that he was trying hard to accept the punishment, but also to distinguish right from wrong, win or lose, and everyone in the audience was moved.

Again, everyone has a similar identity to Zhou Zongshi, and can best embody Zhou Zongshi's emotions. At this moment, Zhou Zongshi is forced to use this last dignity to prove his innocence.

In an instant, the public opinion that Xu Yi had so easily created in his favor was completely destroyed.

Chou Taichong was shocked, "Xu Yi, even if you take the lawsuit to the bench later, you must explain how sure you are of getting Earth Soul Talisman."

"No comment!"

Xu Yi said calmly.

"Be bold!"

Chou Taichong was furious, "Do you really want me to impose severe punishments before you are willing to do it?"

"Your Excellency, you will be responsible for the punishment. Xu will file a lawsuit later."

Xu Yi is still stern.

Unexpectedly, his performance fell into the eyes of Zhou Zongshi, and Zhou Zongshi decided that Xu Yi was just lying and had no back-up plan.

Chou Taichong also didn't expect Xu Yi to be so stubborn, but was pushed to the point where he couldn't get off the stage.

"Lord Qiu, you will take charge of the punishment yourself. If something goes wrong, Zhou and Zhou Family will bear the responsibility together and will not implicate you in any way."

Zhou Zongshi noticed Chou Taichong's confusion and quickly sent a message.

Chou Taichong was indeed bored with Xu Yi, and slapped the scarecrow, "Come on, torture me!"

Four of the court officials standing on the left and right sides immediately vacated their seats and each activated Sumeru Ring. Immediately, the instruments of torture were dumped all over the floor.

Xu Yi remained expressionless, Zhou Zongshi said with a sinister smile, "I advise you to do it obediently. Don't think that you can withstand it if you practice well. I am not afraid to tell you that these torture tools come with their own formations. If added to the body, they will all shake the ghosts. It is not something that a living person can resist. Do you really want to try?"

Xu Yi sneered and said, "You framed Xu first, tortured you later, and ignored our Holy Court's clear laws. You are unworthy of being our Holy Court officials. Do you still have any respect for the Holy Court's clear laws in your hearts?"

"Haha..."

Zhou Zongshi laughed, "Now that things have come to this, do you really think that the Holy Court's clear laws protect ants like you?"

"But I don't know who I am protecting."

A clear voice sounded. Looking around, the person speaking was actually a tall man in Tsing Yi sitting in the second row without saying a word. The two stars on his chest were shining brightly in his eyes.

"Deputy Envoy Cen!"

Chou Taichong exclaimed in shock, his mind turning over and over again, and he immediately understood why this person appeared here.

Zhou Zongshi is like falling into an ice cellar. I really don't understand why this Deputy Envoy from Seventh Elder's house is talking to him. Could it be that this person is Xu Yi's backup plan?

How could Xu Yi be so capable, how could it possibly be caught up in the thread of Deputy Envoy Cen.

Xu Yi was equally surprised. He had indeed prepared a back-up plan, but he did not know this elder Cen, but he did not expect that the other party had already laid an ambush for him, waiting for this final blow.

"Is this how Master Qiu asks questions?"

Deputy Envoy Cen said coldly.

"Down, down, official..."

Chou Taichong is sweating profusely. Indeed, in this case, he favored Zhou Zongshi so much. In addition to helping his colleagues, Zhou Zongshi's off-board operations have long been connected to Chou Taichong.

Originally, Shadow-Sound Pearl was on record, and Chou Taichong was helping, but only behind-the-scenes Middle Envoy. After Xu Yi completely overturned Zhou Zongshi's statement, the development of the situation has reached an irreversible level.

But under the instigation of Zhou Zongshi, he decided to execute Xu Yi.

By doing this, he also had a barrier. He just wanted to kill Xu Yi and end the case.

As for the whereabouts of the Zhou Family's Earth Soul Talisman, they can only be found by interrogating the ghost of Xu Yi.

The reason why he dared to have such a daring idea was the promise of Zhou Zongshi and the generous rewards behind it.

The two of them are Xu Yi, who has a bad reputation and has a lot of grudges in the house. If they were all killed together, I'm afraid no one would be willing to fight over his life and death.

On the contrary, if you let this person live, if you appeal in this person's name, it will definitely attract everyone's attention, and then it will reach a point where there is no way to end it.

But despite all his calculations, he failed to realize that Deputy Envoy Cen, who came to watch the fun, was actually carrying a mission. He even couldn't figure out how Deputy Envoy Cen could stand for Xu Yi.

This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that Deputy Envoy Cen does not represent Xu Yi, but that person. That is really shattering.

Deputy Envoy Cen waved his sleeves and said, "Well, Cen doesn't want to take care of this mess of yours anymore. Today, Cen's eyes have been opened. If Elder Qin asks me about today's situation, you see, Cen will tell the truth truthfully."

"Lord Cen, spare your life!"

With a pop, Chou Taichong fell to his knees. As soon as Deputy Envoy Cen said these words, what he was most worried about became a reality.

The arrival of Cen was indeed Elder Qin's idea.

Once Elder Qin pays attention to this matter, even the master of the palace will give him some face. What's more, anyone who looks at Shadow-Sound Pearl's actions today can read the word "dereliction of duty" clearly.

It is true that the official administration of the Holy Court is corrupt, but when it comes to big shots, the Holy Court's laws are a naked murderous sword.

Zhou Zongshi His whole body was bone-chillingly cold, and his heart and lungs seemed to be frozen by the ice.

No one in the crowd looked good-looking. There were many who came here with a purpose. Even those who were really watching the fun naturally stood at the Zhou Zongshi end.

"Okay, I don't care about your nonsense, Xu Yi, what do you say?"

Deputy Envoy Cen looked at Xu Yi and asked.

Xu Yi's thoughts changed quickly, he cupped his fists at Chou Taichong and said, "Master Qiu, I don't know that Xu may have left."

Chou Taichong looked ecstatic, "Yes, yes, Brother Xu can leave easily, this case is over!"

Zhou Zongshi knew that Xu Yi was looking over, but he didn't even have the courage to raise his eyes to meet her. He was really frightened by Xu Yi's unpredictable methods.

If Xu Yi was chasing after him just now, if it was him, even Zhou Clan Lineage would have to get in.

Now, Xu Yi actually gave up his counterattack, which really surprised him. Apart from the surprise, he also felt lucky to survive the disaster. How could he dare to provoke Xu Yi.

"Brother Zhou, next time you come to the Prison Litigation Department, say hello in advance. We brothers will come together to save you from waiting for a long time!"

Xu Yi said with a smile, rushed to the crowd, clasped his fists, and left.

After half a cup of tea, he stopped in a pavilion under a huge pine tree halfway up the mountain. Within a moment, Deputy Envoy Cen arrived.

"You are very smart!"

Just as he fell into the pavilion, Deputy Envoy Cen shouted out loud.
