Chapter 670: The Murderer Is Liu Sanniang 2
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xia Qiluo let go. She looked at Liu Sanniang coldly and grabbed another person’s hand. Soon, everyone saw how another happy family was ruined.
After every murder, Liu Sanniang would swallow the heart that was dug out of the victim’s heart in front of the victim’s family. Seeing such a murder scene with their own eyes, everyone broke down.
Among the victims, there were the old, the young, and even the children.
After becoming eyewitnesses themselves, the officials’ expressions changed drastically.
The eyewitnesses felt that their loved ones had been killed again and almost went crazy. Seeing that Liu Sanniang was right in front of them, they all wanted to rush up to Liu Sanniang and tear her into pieces.
The imperial guards stopped them.
Xia Qiluo retracted her hand and looked at Liu Sanniang coldly. “Liu Sanniang, the evidence is conclusive. Do you plead guilty?”
Xia Qiluo looked at Liu Sanniang coldly. Every word she said was like an invisible mountain pressing down on Liu Sanniang. Xia Qiluo’s heart burned with anger. She wanted to personally punish Liu Sanniang and enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!
Liu Sanniang looked at Xia Qiluo calmly and said, “That’s not me. As I said, I was asked to leave the capital to look for someone.”
Liu Sanniang walked towards Xia Qiluo step by step. She looked at Xia Qiluo and said, “Seventh Princess, feel my memories and you shall know.”
Xia Qiluo narrowed her eyes and stared into Liu Sanniang’s eyes. She could not see any panic in Liu Sanniang’s eyes. Such calmness made Xia Qiluo feel uneasy.
She hated Liu Sanniang very much. Now that Liu Sanniang was like this, she was even more displeased. Since Liu Sanniang asked for it, she would not stand on ceremony with her.
Xia Qiluo was about to grab Liu Sanniang’s hand when she heard a cold shout.
Xu Ran shouted coldly, “How outrageous. The evidence is conclusive. Why do you want the victims’ family to see again how you killed them and ate their hearts time and time again? Isn’t this too cruel?”
Xia Qiluo’s expression turned cold as she put down her hand. “Liu Sanniang, why are you so vicious?”
Many people had seen with their own eyes that Liu Sanniang was the murderer. Xia Qiluo had already made them feel the pain of losing their loved ones again. If it happened again from Liu Sanniang’s point of view, they would probably not be able to take it.
No one wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone.
After Xu Ran finished speaking, the eyewitnesses who had long broken down shouted, “A life for a life, a life for a life. Long live my emperor. Please seek justice for us.”
“Please show pity on my child.”
“My poor wife died young…”
Wails and sobs filled the hall. The officials, who had just seen it with their own eyes, felt pain in their hearts. They had all experienced what the eyewitness felt at that time.
How painful was it to see the person one cared about being killed in front of them?
Marquis Su frowned and walked to the center of the hall. “Your Majesty, I have something to say. Everyone knows that my son followed Miss Liu as her disciple. I don’t believe Miss Liu will commit murder. Just now, Miss Liu also said that she left the capital to look for someone. Seventh Princess read the minds of those eyewitnesses just to prove that they didn’t lie and slander Miss Liu. But now, why aren’t you giving Miss Liu a chance to prove her innocence?”
Countless unfriendly gazes landed on Marquis Su. Marquis Su looked at Xu Ran and said, “I don’t know what you mean, Elder Xu Ran. Even if Miss Liu is the suspect, she still has a chance to prove her innocence. Elder, Why are you so certain that Miss Liu is the murderer? What if what you see is Miss Liu leaving the capital to look for someone?”
Xia Qiluo frowned.
Xia Bingguang heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that someone was speaking up for Liu Sanniang.
Marquis Su did not care about Xu Ran’s cold gaze at all. He continued, “I know that you have the final say in the Cloud Breaking Sect, but this is His Majesty’s territory. Since this is a fair trial, we must not do wrong to the innocent. Seventh Princess, do you think what I said makes sense?”
The Cloud Breaking Sect was respected by the world and believed by everyone, including the royal family.
However, Marquis Su was right about one thing. This was the emperor’s territory, not the Cloud Breaking Sect’s.
No matter how capable the Cloud Breaking Sect was, they were not above the royal family.
Xia Bingguang narrowed his eyes and nodded. “What Marquis Su said makes sense.”
Since it was a fair trial, everyone should be given a chance to defend themselves.
Xia Bingguang couldn’t help but reflect on himself. Did he respect the Cloud Breaking Sect too much, which gave them the illusion that they could challenge him?
After Xia Bingguang spoke, many offcials echoed.
“His Majesty is right. We have to get to the bottom of it.”
On the other hand, some people did not agree, so there were voices of resistance.
“The victims’ family is already in so much pain. If we let them experience the pain all over again, we’ll be no different from savages. I’m afraid they won’t be able to walk out of this trauma for the rest of their lives.”
“We’ve already seen it once. Liu Sanniang is the murderer. There’s nothing else to see.”
The officials were divided into two sides, each defending their own opinions.
As a defender of Liu Sanniang, Marquis Su argued with others..
