“You’ve come at the right time.” Upon hearing this, Wang Han said, and with a wave of his hand, several portraits flew in front of the group. He said, “These people over there are the escort team for the birthday tribute. They say you robbed the birthday tribute they were escorting, and the portraits have already been drawn.”
"General, we are innocent!" Upon hearing Wang Han's words, Chao Gai quickly raised his hands and said, "We swear to Heaven that we have never robbed any birthday tribute, we don't have the guts, and we have never even seen these people."
"Bullshit! It was clearly you who robbed the birthday gifts, and you're the ones who inflicted our injuries. I swear to God I can do the same!" Steward Xie roared. Now he had no choice but to play along and stick to his story. Otherwise, he would be finished. He couldn't afford to offend the Divine Might General or the Grand Secretary, and he certainly couldn't afford to offend him.
"Shut up, all of you. I can tell who's telling the truth and who's lying," Wang Han snapped.
Upon hearing Wang Han's reprimand, the hall immediately fell silent.
"Tch, you're clearly the one lying, yet you're trying to shift the blame," Zhao Fujin muttered under his breath. "No wonder Mother said men's words are the least trustworthy."
"Your name is Chao Gai, right? Everyone says that's how you robbed the birthday gifts. You say you didn't rob the birthday gifts, produce the evidence," Wang Han said to Chao Gai. He ignored Zhao Fujin's mutterings.
"Yes, General." Upon hearing this, Chao Gai quickly replied, "Our men recently obtained something special. Fearing it might run away, we have been guarding it closely and have not dared to go anywhere. Now we have brought it to you, General, for your disposal."
"Bring it here," Wang Han said.
"Yes, General." Upon hearing this, Chao Gai quickly agreed and then had the men behind him bring in the iron box that was chained to the donkey cart.
Chao Gai unlocked the locks one by one, pulled off the chains, opened the box, and respectfully said to Wang Han, "General Shenwei, this is the thing, the monster's arm. We dare not handle it ourselves, and we are afraid that it will run away, so we have been guarding it all day long, and we dare not even leave it for a moment while eating and drinking."
“This is the monster’s forearm.” Wang Han glanced into the box and nodded, saying, “You did a good job. This arm is very resilient. It still contains the primordial spirit of the monster that has not been completely destroyed. If it escapes, the primordial spirit will possess other people and may become a complete monster again.”
Wang Han spoke with an air of boastfulness, but he was actually just spouting nonsense. Before Chao Gai and his men even reached the county government office, Wang Han had already sensed everything and recognized the severed arm. However, his plan to frame someone had been ruined once again.
"The monster's forearm!" Upon hearing Wang Han's words, everyone in the hall was immediately astonished.
"Let me see." Zhao Fujin was the first to run forward, his eyes widening in surprise as he looked at the forearm inside, which was as thick as a thigh. He then asked Wang Han, "General, is this edible?"
“No.” Wang Han rejected it without hesitation, saying, “This thing is disgusting, and eating it will not do you any good. On the contrary, you will be corrupted by the demonic energy on it.”
