Chapter 553 I took the person away (Part 1)
Fan Chengzhuo looked at the bloody poisonous insect on her dagger, still in shock.
"Who on earth could have cast such an evil spell? It's really despicable!"
His eyes swept across the remaining corpses, as if he had finally come to his senses, and he was filled with shock and anger: "If it weren't for Second Miss Ye finding out the truth about the deaths of these people, I'm afraid they would have been buried forever!"
The corners of Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly.
"Master Fan, why do you have to be so angry? After all, everything is clear now. These Nanhu swordsmen all died from the Seven Corpse Gu. This can be regarded as clearing Master Fan of his grievances."
Chen Yanchuan seemed to be thinking: "Speaking of Gu poison...it seems to be a secret technique of Nanhu."
Ye Chutang nodded: "That's right. I've heard before that the Nanhu swordsmen are raised from childhood and are born for killing. In order to better control them, they will be planted with poison in their bodies. Once they betray, they can control the poisonous insects and kill them even if they are thousands of miles away."
This also explains why they all suddenly died when no one approached them.
But this brings up an even more difficult problem.
——Who is behind this?
Chen Yanchuan suddenly chuckled: "It's a coincidence that he chose this time instead of earlier."
Everyone looked at each other.
yes!
If the people behind the scenes were really worried about these swordsmen betraying them, they should have taken action as early as when they were first captured!
Why wait until now?
Ye Chutang wiped the dagger clean, glanced at the men again, and said jokingly, "Perhaps one of them wanted to reveal the truth, but his master noticed it, so he took decisive action?"
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Then the master behind them is quite powerful. He knows exactly what they said and didn't say."
He said this lightly, as if it was just a casual remark, but it made many officials from the Ministry of Justice present break out in cold sweats.
——Doesn’t this mean that some of them are secretly collaborating with the enemy!
"Your Highness, you must be joking. How could there be someone in this world who is so omnipotent?" An official wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled carefully. "Perhaps they saw that these swordsmen had not returned for a long time and there was really no hope for them to get out, so they chose to kill them directly to prevent future troubles? After all, after all, training a swordsman requires huge financial and material resources, right?"
Chen Yanchuan curled his thin lips.
"That being said, it is not impossible."
After hearing what he said, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it again, they became worried again.
After all, the person died in the Ministry of Justice, and the case became an unsolved injustice and it was impossible to continue investigating it.
The entire Ministry of Justice will inevitably be implicated.
Plus this fire...
I don’t know what the situation will be like in the court tomorrow!
Ye Chutang said: "There is no point in keeping these bodies any longer, so let's hand them over to Lord Fan to deal with. They have poisonous insects hidden in their bodies, so it's best to burn them and then bury them underground. Remember to dig the pit deeper to prevent future troubles."
The officials beside him nodded repeatedly when they heard this: "Yes, yes! Everything must be done according to what Miss Ye said!"
Where have they ever seen such a scene? When the poisonous insect jumped out of the heart of the corpse just now, everyone was scared out of their wits!
Now that Ye Chutang has told them the correct way to deal with it, they don’t even have time to thank him.
Ye Chutang chuckled and nodded, then looked at the dark night again.
"It's getting late, I should go back."
This was quite a night of tossing and turning.
As she spoke, she waved towards Xiao Wu.
Xiaowu ran over quickly.
Ye Chutang waved his hands: "I'm dirty."
Xiaowu hurriedly stopped. Although she didn't care, her elder sister had always been very careful in this regard. After each medical examination or autopsy, she would clean up thoroughly from head to toe.
She then obeyed obediently, raised her little face and showed a big smile.
——Anyway, my sister kept her promise and came back safely! This is more important than anything else!
Ye Chutang took a step forward and heard Shen Yanchuan's voice behind him.
"Wait, I'm with you."
Ye Chutang turned around and saw Shen Yanchuan coming over.
There was an unconcealed smile in his eyes.
"Aren't you here to return my things?"
Oh yeah.
Ye Chutang nodded gently: "The things are still on the carriage, please follow me, my lord."
With that, the two of them walked out.
Fan Chengzhuo and a group of people were left alone in silence.
Just, just left like that! ?
"Wait a minute, my prince!"
He hurried forward, looking embarrassed.
Chen Yanchuan turned around and raised his eyebrows: "Master Fan, do you have anything else to do?"
Of course!
Fan Chengzhuo raised his hand and pointed to the side: "You can leave, but, but these people, you have to stay, right?"
Ye Chutang looked in the direction he pointed.
Wow.
The Black Knights were moving people out.
They certainly had no interest in the corpse of the Nanhu swordsman. What they were taking away now were the ones they had carried out of the prison earlier - the assassins who intended to murder Shen Yanchuan.
After a rough count, it seemed that several of them had been taken out while most people's attention was drawn to Ye Chutang's autopsy.
A smile flashed across Ye Chutang's eyes.
The action is quite fast.
Fan Chengzhuo had just noticed this incident. When he came back to his senses from the shock of the Seven Corpse Gu, he found that the Black Cavalry Guards were taking people out. He felt like the sky was falling!
Fan Chengzhuo was really anxious, and he no longer cared about their status. "These people were assassinating people in the Ministry of Justice, so they should be handed over to us for investigation and handling. Why did the prince just take them away like that?"
"Yes." Chen Yanchuan didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. "They want to assassinate me. It would be more convenient if I take them back and interrogate them one by one. Isn't it okay?"
Fan Chengzhuo was so angry that he almost choked.
What can you do?
Chen Yanchuan simply doesn't take the Ministry of Justice seriously!
Fan Chengzhuo suppressed his anger and said in a tough voice: "It is precisely because these people have committed capital crimes that we must investigate thoroughly! The prince was also frightened today, and he should go back to rest and recuperate. How can we trouble you again--"
"It's just checking a few assassins. It's not a big deal."
Chen Yanchuan interrupted him, his tone was calm but unyielding.
"It's not the first time I've been stabbed. The Black Knights are used to this kind of thing. Besides, with the current situation in the Ministry of Justice, I'm afraid Lord Fan will be busy in the future, so I won't cause any more trouble."
Fan Chengzhuo's face froze.
No one has ever been able to take someone away from the Ministry of Justice so openly, but -
With so many eyes watching, everyone knew that they were all targeting Chen Yanchuan. The prince of Dingbei Marquis was in danger in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. They were already thankful that they were not held accountable. How could they dare to ask for more?
Even if he wants to take people away, who among the remaining people has the right to stop him?
Chen Yanchuan tilted his head slightly, his tone lazy and cold: "Take the people back and take good care of them. No one is allowed to die before I personally interrogate them."
