Bao Zheng's expression did not change." Empress Dowager," he said." Now that the Emperor has bestowed the Dragon Head Chopper here, how can I not interrogate it?"”
The Empress Dowager said," Aijia has already requested the Emperor to issue a pardon. The imperial edict will arrive at any time. You can't use torture on the Fuma!"”
Hearing this, Bao Zheng's expression changed a little, but he quickly replied,""Bao Zheng has not received the imperial edict.”
"You!" The empress dowager was finally angry. She waved her hand and said,""Men, come and snatch her!"
When Bao Zheng saw this, he took a step back and shouted,"Guard Zhan!"
"Yes!" Zhan Zhao stepped forward.
"In the court, if anyone dares to kidnap a prisoner, kill them on the spot!”Bao Zheng said.
"Yes, sir!" Zhan Zhao drew his sword and blocked the door.
Right at this moment, a figure swept in from outside the door and stood in front of Zhan Zhao. It was Duan Chen who had rushed over.
Duan Chen flicked Zhan Zhao's sword away with one finger and said with a light smile,""How lively."
Zhan Zhao's expression changed when he felt the great force coming from the sword. The hilt of his sword almost fell out of his hand.
The newcomer was an expert!
This was Zhan Zhao's first reaction. As a Jianghu person, he was extremely sensitive to this aspect. Not only that, the other party's martial arts might be above his.
Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao looked at Duan Chen. The other party's unfamiliarity made him puzzled. When did such a person appear in the martial arts world?
"Who are you?" Bao Zheng shouted.
Seeing that Duan Chen had finally arrived, Chen Shimei heaved a sigh of relief. She was finally saved. Facing Bao Zheng, who did not even give face to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, she almost thought that she was dead today.
"Empress Dowager, Princess." Duan Chen did not answer Bao Zheng immediately. Instead, he turned around and greeted him politely.
The empress dowager and the princess looked at each other. The latter asked curiously,""You are…"
"I came here for the same reason as you.”Duan Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but feel even more puzzled. Could this be Chen Shimei's friend? Or a helper he found?
However, Bao Zheng had ignored the imperial edict, so what could this young man do?
Duan Chen turned around and walked into the hall. He looked at Bao Zheng and said,""Lord Bao, you can't kill him."
"But why?" Bao Zheng frowned and stared at Duan Chen.
" You said that Chen Shimei is Qin Xianglian's husband." Duan Chen smiled and said," Do you have any proof?"”
Bao Zheng shouted,"There are witnesses in the back hall. They have already finished their confrontation with Chen Shimei!"”
"Is that so?" " You're not?" Duan Chen raised his eyebrows and said," How would I know? You didn't force him to confess?" As for the witness, am I counted? I can testify that Chen Shimei is not from Chen Family Village in Luzhou, but a student from Baiyun Temple in Hefei.”
When Chen Shimei heard this, she looked at Duan Chen in surprise. Then, her expression flickered. She quickly understood what Duan Chen wanted to do and had a plan in her heart.
"What is it? Nonsense, you know, perjury is a crime!”Bao Zheng shouted coldly.
" Yes." Duan Chen's expression did not change." Then, please bring out the so-called witness, Lord Bao. With the Empress Dowager and the Princess here, we'll interrogate him again."”
At this moment, the Empress Dowager and the Princess stepped forward and stood beside Duan Chen. The former said,""That's right, Bao Zheng. If you want to convict the Fuma, try again.”
No matter what Duan Chen's background was, the Empress Dowager could only choose to believe him now. At the very least, she could buy some time and wait for the imperial edict to arrive.
Zhan Zhao stepped forward and pointed his sword at Duan Chen. He said coldly,""No matter who you are, if you dare to spout nonsense, I will let you know my methods!”
Duan Chen glanced at Zhan Zhao and said indifferently,""I naturally know the name of Nanxia Zhan Zhao, but you'd better put away the sword in your hand. If you dare to attack, I can't guarantee the safety of everyone here.”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Zhao's expression changed slightly. The other party's meaning was very obvious. As long as he dared to make the first move, he would not be polite. At that time, it would be very difficult to resolve the matter.
This was absolute confidence in his own strength, and not an act of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Zhan Zhao could feel that this was an extremely powerful opponent. He did not dare to act rashly.
"This is the court, not the martial world. Put away your tricks. I'm much more skilled than you in this game, understand?”Duan Chen said disdainfully.
From Zhan Zhao's expression, Bao Zheng could tell that this person was extraordinary. In order not to cause a conflict, he could only say,"Alright, as you wish!"
