Lawyer Lu bowed his head and said with an elegant attitude of a scholar, he said humbly and courteously:"Xiaosheng has just been listening outside for a while. This little immortal master is very witty at a young age, which really makes me admire him. However, in this court, , it’s a bit overwhelming. Although the little immortal master is favored by heaven and is different from us mortals, mortals have mortal rules. Since the little immortal master is in the mortal world, he should also be respectful." These words are gentle. The soft words soothed the unhappiness in Zhao Qian's heart.

Zhong Wanling's heart trembled, knowing that this person was difficult to deal with, so he remained unmoved and said calmly:"Since Mr. Lu is here to exonerate Shen Chenggong, why bother talking about him? Oh, to defend the murderer, What rules are we talking about?"

Attorney Lu smiled softly and said,"Oh, what the little immortal master said is wrong. Mr. Shen is not necessarily the murderer now."

Zhong Wanling frowned.

"There is no room for trifling in court, Mr. Lu, please respect yourself. Zhao Qian held the order arrow and glanced at Advocate Lu warningly.

Advocate Lu bowed respectfully and said hurriedly:"The young man made a mistake.""

Zhao Qian narrowed his eyes and looked at Attorney Lu. As far as he knew, this person was not easily hired. Now he has taken on a lawsuit that is bound to fail, and the people behind him can be seen.

Zhao Qian complained in his heart, it seems that he His guess was correct. This Shen Chenggong should be the son of Shen Fuchang, the Minister of Household Affairs. It is not easy to be an official in the capital, so he offended the heads of the four ministries. He was really confused for a moment. But this case is already a certainty, and there is no suspense.

"Many people have testified that Shen Chenggong committed the murder and mutilated the body.

Advocate Lu smiled disapprovingly and said,"My lord, this is wrong.""

"oh? Do you also want to say that the witness lied?" Zhao Qian said worriedly.

Attorney Lu shook his head, still looking modest."No. Didn’t Master Xiaoxian examine a few witnesses? If Xiaosheng can't trust the witness, it's not like he can't trust Xiaoxian. However, these testimonies can only show that the prostitute entered Kuiyuan Building but did not come out. It does not mean that the prostitute died in Kuiyuan Building, and no one can prove that the murderer was Mr. Shen Chenggong."

Zhao Qian slapped the alarm and said angrily:"Don't talk nonsense? If you don't come out alive, wouldn't you be dead inside?

Attorney Lu smiled and shook his head, saying:"No, no." Sir, please think about it, maybe the prostitute went out with some young master after entering Kuiyuan Building, or she escaped while taking advantage of the reception, and then an accident happened. This is also possible."

Zhao Qian thought to himself, it would be fine if it was just as he said."But what Lu Dakui said was that the body was originally found in Kuiyuan Building."

"Hey, isn't this Lu Dakui's one-sided statement?"Lu Dakui shook his folding fan and retorted,"Everything else Lu Dakui said is supported by evidence. He also led the immortal masters to find the body, so the immortal masters will not doubt him. Advocate Lu folded his fan and his tone suddenly changed,"But this scoundrel only lied about one thing, and that is that the body was not found in Kuiyuan Building." That night, due to some reasons of her own, the prostitute sneaked out of Kuiyuan Building during the banquet. She happened to meet Lu Dakui who was drunk. Lu Dakui became interested and wanted to do something wrong. The prostitute refused to obey, so Lu Dakui accidentally killed him. Got her. Perhaps because he was drunk at the time, or perhaps out of a moment of righteous indignation, Lu Dakui not only killed someone, but also mutilated the body to this point, which was really unconscionable.

When Lu Dakui woke up, he realized his crime, but it was too late. So, he dragged the body out of the city and buried it without stopping. This was entirely a crime committed by him alone, and was not an order from the young prince at all. Later, the little immortal master came to investigate, but Lu Dakui was defeated and could only reveal the burial place. But he was afraid that his crime would be exposed, so he lied that it was the body he found, was ordered to dump it, and randomly selected a young man he remembered who was attending the banquet to frame the crime. Litigation Master Lu nodded slightly and smiled meaningfully,"Isn't this more reasonable?""

Zhao Qian was overjoyed and said to himself, he is indeed a hot litigator. He really has skills. He can actually turn over such a certain case with just a few words. If Lu Dakui is really guilty of the crime, he will gain both fame and fortune.

"But you don't have any evidence to prove that it was Lu Dakui who committed the crime."Zhong Wanling hit the point lightly.

However, Advocate Lu was relaxed, as if he had expected what Zhong Wanling would say."Xiaosheng has two pieces of evidence to prove this.

Zhao Qian became interested and asked:"Quickly, tell me in detail." Attorney Lu folded his fan and pointed at the corpse lying nearby, saying:"First, the corpse was so badly damaged, and Shen Chenggong, the young master of the Shen family, was just a scholar with no power. How could he kill such a big man?" , not to mention damaging the body like this. How could a pampered young man be in that kind of situation? I think, if it is not a tiger beast, then it must be a powerful master, right? For example, I think it is very possible for Lu Dakui, that street kid.

Seeing Zhong Wanling frowning and wanting to speak, Advocate Lu quickly said,"Hey, little immortal master, don't worry yet." Not only that, we have witnesses here."Master Lu pointed at the two people behind him with his fan,"Mr. Shen felt unwell that night and went back home to rest early in the morning. After returning home, he became ill and is still bedridden today, so he was unable to come to the hall in person. The shopkeeper of Kuiyuan Building and the manager of Shen Mansion can both testify."

"fart……"Liang You couldn't help but scolded,"I'm telling you you're talking nonsense! Our senior brothers went to Shen's Mansion yesterday and saw that Shen Chenggong was very active, and he even injured Senior Brother Huang!""

"Don't talk nonsense. Don't let this little immortal master tarnish the reputation of others with his words. How can a mortal defeat you cultivators? What's more, he is a sickly scholar. Could it be that the little immortal masters recognized the wrong person? Moreover, it was not only these two stewards who could testify that Mr. Shen left the table early, but also many guests who were present that day. It's just that those are all the distinguished guests of the Prince of Qi. It's really inappropriate to invite people to confront him in front of a real prince. Advocate Lu said and glanced at Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian nodded repeatedly:"That's right, that's right, it's not appropriate." Liang

You was furious and was about to retort when Zhong Wanling held him down lightly and shook his head slightly.

Advocate Lu smiled proudly, patted his palm with his fan bone, and continued:"This is one of them." Secondly, it has been proved that the murder scene was not in Kuiyuan Building. Lu Dakui said that the body he discovered together with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi was purely false. Although the person who died was a lowly prostitute, human life was at stake. If what Lu Dakui said was true, wouldn't it mean that the noble prince was in cahoots with a murderer and helped him cover up his crime. Mr. Shen was only an official, but Prince Qi was a royal relative. Is it necessary for His Highness the Crown Prince to protect such an ordinary guest with little social contact and bad conduct? Even if His Highness the Crown Prince did not want to make a big deal out of the matter and made a wrong decision in a moment of confusion, Kuiyuan Tower would not sit idly by. This was the death of a person in the restaurant, which was a heavy loss to the restaurant."

The face of the fat shopkeeper of Kuiyuanlou changed.

Master Lu smiled and consoled him:"I mean hypothetically, according to Nalu Dakui's statement, it seems to be somewhat unreasonable now.

The fat shopkeeper quickly responded:"Yes!" yes!"

Zhao Qian stroked his beard and nodded, but still felt that it was untenable."But it doesn't rule out that this guy covered up the murder to avoid damaging the restaurant's reputation."

The fat shopkeeper's face suddenly looked like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Attorney Lu smiled and said,"Then you can go check it out. Your Excellency, you can send someone to Kuiyuan Building to search now to see if they can find a murder scene that meets the characteristics."

"There is no way to find it. Is that what you planned? Zhong Wanling interjected coldly,"The room has been completely renovated. The walls and furniture have been stripped of their original paint and repainted, right?" Just when Attorney Lu was about to refute, Zhong Wanling added,"But, unfortunately, it's not completely impossible to find out." Cultivators in the rotating light realm who have opened their spiritual eyes can see it. The day before yesterday, Senior Brother Mu and I happened to go to Kuiyuan Building to investigate, and we found the scene indeed. Mu Xiaochuan nodded in approval:"

That's right.""

The fat shopkeeper's face turned paler and he was sweating like rain.

Zhong Wanling chuckled and said,"Maybe the shopkeeper forgot, or maybe this shopkeeper is actually a hands-off shopkeeper and has no idea about what happened that night.

Yesterday, the waiter took me to the exact room where the incident occurred. You guys from Kuiyuan Building also avoided that place along the way. You probably all know about someone's tragic death in the building. Since witnesses are needed, Advocate Lu might as well invite them all to confront each other one by one. These people are not the powerful people you call them, so they won't be in the way, right? Or we can ask the adults to go with us in person, and we can peel off the new paint ourselves, and it will definitely not be difficult to find."

Zhao Qian, the fat shopkeeper, the short steward, and even Attorney Lu all changed their colors. Attorney Lu turned around and shook his head, as if he was hinting at something outside the court.

Zhong Wanling said,"It's better that Attorney Lu is not busy now. Asking people to destroy it will only make people think that there is no silver in this place. Moreover, you don’t actually need to go there to prove that the fat shopkeeper is telling lies."

"You are talking nonsense! The fat shopkeeper's face turned the color of pig liver and he was furious,"You're the one who lied!" Zhong

Wanling ignored the fat shopkeeper at all and said unhurriedly:"What you just said is all inference. If this can be used as evidence, then so can I." For example, as we all know, the branch building of Kuiyuan Building was just opened recently. A big banquet was held that day, and many people must have seen the completion of the building. Prince Qi invited Miss Minjun to a banquet to play music for the opening of the new building. But when we went there that day, the side building was under construction, and there were many carpenters there. I would like to ask, is there any reason for a new building to be renovated within a few days of opening?"

"this……"The fat shopkeeper was sweating like rain, and explained stumblingly:"We couldn't pretend before, so we could only repair it... It's our own business when to rebuild the restaurant! What's so strange about this! There's no law that prohibits just opening. Just renovate it!"

Zhao Qian deliberately suppressed the matter and quickly helped:"Yes, there is no rule that it cannot be renovated when it is newly opened. Little Immortal Master……"

Zhong Wanling didn't pay attention to the words of the fat shopkeeper and Zhao Qian."Then let's ask the carpenters who renovated Kuiyuan Building to come to court for questioning."

Zhao Qian also understood that the lawyer Lu was just quibbling, and the matter was probably what Zhong Wanling and others said. But if he dealt with it impartially, he would have to face the anger of the minister. A minister could no longer withstand it, and Shen Fuchang was from Huang Xiang's faction. If he offended him, he would definitely offend Huang Xiang. How could he gain a foothold in the capital if he offended Huang Xiang.

Hey, how could these young immortal masters know that there is such a turbulent officialdom, and he is not the one to bear the consequences.

But, in full public view, he can't engage in malpractice for personal gain, right?

Zhao Qian hasn't made a decision yet, Zhong Wanling has already made the decision for him."It is said that Mo Zimuzuo, Lu Jianghu and others came to the hall"

"Wait, I haven't……"Before Zhao Qian could stop him, the government officials had already summoned the people outside the court:"It is said that Mo Zimu Zuo, Lu Jianghu and others are in court."
