Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Qian Yunzhou, who was feeling very proud, turned pale instantly when he saw the Chief Justice of Dali Temple. His body began to tremble uncontrollably and he almost peed his pants out of fright!

Not long after, a group of Dali Temple officials in official uniforms and with serious expressions rushed in like a gust of wind.

They grabbed Qian Yunzhou mercilessly, as if he was a lamb to be slaughtered.

And had those friends who were drinking and having fun with Qian Yunzhou ever experienced such a thrilling scene?

They were all terrified, their faces were as pale as paper, and their legs were shaking like sieves.

Seeing that the situation was not good, these people secretly thought about how to escape.

Just as they were about to sneak away, the majestic voice of the Dali Temple Minister suddenly rang out: "No one can escape! You all must follow us back to the Dali Temple to be interrogated!"

This roar exploded in everyone's ears like thunder, making those guys who had originally hoped for luck feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar and their whole bodies were chilled.

Soon, the Dali Temple took these people away.

Having heard Qian Yunzhou's words with their own ears, the Dali Temple went straight to the point and did not waste time during the interrogation.

The Dali Temple official was sitting in the courtroom, staring at Qian Yunzhou who was kneeling below with his eyes like torches, and asked sternly, "Qian Yunzhou, confess the truth quickly. What evil deeds have you committed for the Third Prince?"

However, at this moment, Qian Yunzhou's face turned pale, his whole body was shaking, and he stammered: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud "bang". It turned out that the Dali Temple Minister slammed the gavel so hard that the whole hall trembled slightly.

Then, there was a thunderous roar: "What a bold man! How dare you be so hesitant and evasive! Do you really think that my Dali Temple is a place where anyone can fool anyone? Humph, let me tell you, you have already committed a heinous crime, and now your official title has been completely stripped! If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

The sound is like a loud bell, which makes people feel frightened.

When Qian Yunzhou heard this, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was enveloped by a bone-chilling chill. He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, as if the whole world had collapsed at this moment.

The whole family supported him, his parents worked hard, he studied hard for more than ten years, he took the imperial examinations again and again, after he took office, he was excluded because of his poor family background, he had to endure all kinds of hardships, he had to flatter others...

I finally climbed up to the sixth-rank official position, and now it’s gone?

How is this possible?

He could not accept such a cruel reality and his heart was filled with despair and unwillingness.

The glory and power that should have belonged to him disappeared without a trace like a mirage in the water before he could enjoy it for long?

Were all the hardships before in vain? He was unwilling to accept this! He absolutely was unwilling to accept this!

Qian Yunzhou gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, my crime has not yet been established. How can you arbitrarily deprive me of my official position? The dismissal of officials in this dynasty must also have a basis."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The Dali Temple Minister sneered, "I heard everything. You helped the Third Prince to rebel. Wait for your whole family to be executed!"

Qian Yunzhou was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and he hurriedly cried out, "I am innocent!"

Even if he had a dozen courages, he would not dare to touch the matter of treason!

The Dali Temple official snorted coldly: "You admitted it yourself in the brothel, and you still want to refute it?"

Qian Yunzhou's mind was buzzing. After a while, he finally reacted: "My lord, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! The Third Prince asked me to help him with a private matter. It has nothing to do with treason!"

"Then tell me, what's the private matter?"

"I promised the Third Prince that I would keep this matter a secret for him..."

"Why don't you confess quickly? Do you want to be punished?"

"Yes, I said, I said...it was the Third Prince who asked me to deliver a letter to the girl he likes."

"That's complete nonsense! The Third Prince wants to deliver a letter and needs your help?"

"It's because that woman has been refusing the Third Prince's letters. And I happen to be related to that girl..."

After interrogation by the Dali Temple Minister, he had to confirm that Qian Yunzhou really did not deliberately spread the rumors about the Emperor's selection of concubines in the palace. At most, he just echoed a few words along with others.

Since he is not the source of this matter, we need to continue investigating.

The Dali Temple Minister vaguely felt that he might have been misled.

The main culprit is trying to shift the blame to someone else!

"Qian Yunzhou, who have you offended in the court?"

"This... I have always been low-key and have never offended anyone!" Qian Yunzhou was also confused.

"Qian Yunzhou, who is the woman that the third prince likes?" another official from the Dali Temple suddenly asked.

"This..." Qian Yunzhou was very conflicted. "Since I promised the Third Prince to keep it a secret, it is not convenient for me to reveal the woman's information."

"Humph! This is the Dali Temple, we are trying a case! Any clues, as long as we ask, the person being interrogated must tell everything, without any lies. As an official of this dynasty, don't you know?"

"I know, I know!" Qian Yunzhou only felt that beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead kept rolling down, as if they were about to gather into a stream.

He secretly groaned in his heart, what should he do?

On one side is the powerful and feared Third Prince, and on the other side is the mysterious and majestic Dali Temple. Neither side is someone he can afford to offend easily! It is really too difficult to choose!

Facing the Dali Temple Chief Justice with a face as cold as frost, Qian Yunzhou knew that he had no way out at all.

He could only nod his head tremblingly and said, "Thank you, sir... I hope you can see clearly. If it is finally found that this matter has nothing to do with us, then I implore you to keep it a secret and not reveal a word of it to anyone."

After saying that, Qian Yunzhou looked nervously at the Dali Temple Minister sitting above.

The Dali Temple Chief Justice stared at Qian Yunzhou with his sharp hawk-like eyes, as if trying to see through his appearance to his true thoughts deep in his heart.

Qian Yunzhou became even more uneasy.

After a while, the Dali Temple Chief Justice said coldly: "Don't worry, as long as the facts prove that you have nothing to do with this case, I will keep my mouth shut. However, if anyone dares to deceive me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Hearing this, Qian Yunzhou trembled all over and bowed again: "I will tell the truth."

Qian Yunzhou was so sad that he could not even cry: How could all these officials be so cold-blooded and heartless? Especially the Dali Temple Minister, who was simply so ruthless and impartial!

We can see each other every day in the court...

"Speak!" Seeing that he was still hesitating, the yamen runners beside him couldn't help it.

"Yes, yes, I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Qian Yunzhou was more afraid of the yamen runners than the Dali Temple Chief Justice.

The sticks in their hands are blind.

"The Third Prince asked me to deliver a letter to Lord Fang's daughter."

"Which daughter is Lord Fang?"

Qian Yunzhou sighed: Is it necessary to ask so many detailed questions? Girls will get married in the future...

"She is Lord Fang's third daughter."

The Dali Temple Minister frowned.

When I was investigating the talent show, I didn't expect to uncover a bigger bomb.
