Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 164 The evidence is conclusive

As the first batch of arrows successfully rolled off the production line, Mo Yuming immediately received an urgent notification from Su Yangyan that the inspector of the Feather Palace had awakened.

Mo Yuming dared not delay for a moment and immediately set off for Shangyuan City. They had already made all the preparations and were just waiting for this key pawn to awaken and play its role.

In a particularly elegant and refined residence, the inspector was sitting comfortably in a recliner.

Two servants were taking good care of him. He was in a very good mood today.

When he awoke, he found himself in a charming little courtyard. A pretty maid was preparing to change his dressing.

Upon noticing that he had woken up, the maid immediately sent someone to deliver the message. Not long after, Prime Minister Su Yangyan rushed over to inquire after him, which deeply moved the inspector.

He vividly remembered how the old man had brutally beaten him to the ground.

Later, thanks to the swift reaction of Mo Yuming's men, who knocked down the crazed Eunuch Pao, they were able to save him.

Now that he has just woken up, the Prime Minister came to visit him, and he immediately felt that he was highly respected, which made him feel much better.

"Your Excellency is awake! How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you? Tell me, and I'll immediately go and fetch an alchemist to treat your injuries."

Su Yangyan smiled and spoke to him gently.

"I'm much better now. There are only a few more serious fractures that make it a little difficult for me to move around, but it's alright. I'll be fully healed in a few days. Thank you for your concern, sir! I am extremely grateful!"

Inspector Wei quickly responded.

"Your Excellency was injured while I was in the situation. It was our negligence that we failed to protect your safety!"

Your not blaming us is already the greatest leniency you can show us! We are truly unworthy of Your Excellency's generous gift!

Su Yangyan responded immediately, his words filled with guilt and self-reproach.

The Imperial Palace Inspector was pleased by Su Yangyan's flattering words and felt much more favorably disposed towards Mo Yuming.

"Do you remember that old eunuch, Your Excellency?"

Su Yangyan cautiously probed.

"That scoundrel colluded with criminal clans and deserves to die. Even after his deeds were exposed, he still tried to kill me to silence me. Once I recover from my injuries and return to the palace, I will report his actions and ensure that his entire family is executed!"

"I am," said Inspector Wei through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with rage.

"We have captured that eunuch and crippled his cultivation. He is currently imprisoned in the dungeon, awaiting the Inspector's personal judgment," Su Yangyan said respectfully.

"Alright! Bring that bastard over here quickly, I want to tear him to pieces with my own hands!"

When Inspector Wei heard that Eunuch Pao had not escaped, he became excited, and the anger on his face became even more obvious, as if he could already see the miserable state that Eunuch Pao would suffer at his hands.

"Alright, I'll go and arrange it right away. Before bringing that fellow here, there are some interesting spirit figures here for you to take a look at, Your Excellency."

As Su Yangyan spoke, he handed the spirit image of the inner clan elder who led Mo Yuming, disguised as explorers, to Envoy Wei.

Inspector Wei stared intently at Lingying. When he saw Wu Ji's inner clan elders say that they were sent by Wu Ji to lead the sinful clan to frame Mo Yuming and the others, his expression became solemn.

With this footage, coupled with the fact that Eunuch Pao had previously released the remnants of the criminal clan, it was no longer possible for Wu Ji to extricate herself from the situation.

He had indeed received many benefits from Wu Ji before, and originally intended to push the blame onto Eunuch Pao and his group. But now that he had this video evidence, it was impossible for him to protect Wu Ji.

However, he was also worried that Wu Ji would reveal his secret.

But things had already come to this point, and Mo Yuming possessed crucial evidence. Therefore, he had no choice but to report the matter and then try to clear his name.

Fortunately, he had not personally promised Wu Ji anything, nor had he directly participated in the matter.

Therefore, even if Wu Ji reveals that she accepted bribes, although she will be implicated to some extent, it will not be a big problem.

Moreover, his subordinate, Eunuch Pao, almost killed him, which is enough to absolve him of guilt. Then, by fabricating some other reasons, he might even receive a reward.

Old Man Pao was brought over like a lifeless dead fish. Although his back injury had healed, his cultivation had been destroyed, leaving him a cripple.

At this moment, he was like a puppet on a string, completely devoid of life.

"Eunuch, how's it like in the dungeon? Are you getting used to it?"

Inspector Wei mocked.

The old eunuch raised his drooping head, glanced at Inspector Wei sitting in the recliner with his dull eyes, and said:

"You're not dead yet!"

"Do you really want me dead? Too bad, I'm very lucky. Even if your whole family dies, I won't. I want to see how your entire clan is exterminated!"

"I am a mess," said Inspector Wei, his tone filled with anger and smugness.

"I don't even know my own name, let alone my nine generations of relatives. The inspector may be disappointed!"

"I am," Pao Gonggong replied weakly, his voice filled with deep weariness and helplessness.

"Where did those fifteen remnants of the sinful clan you let go go? Tell me honestly and I might spare your life!"

Inspector Wei stared intently at Eunuch Pao and asked sternly.

"Those remnants of the criminal clan were rescued by their accomplices long ago, how would I know where they went?"

"That's what Pao Gonggong said," he replied, his voice still weak.

"Then who are their accomplices?"

Inspector Wei continued to press for answers.

"Their accomplices are Su Yangyan and his group!"

"That's what Pao Gonggong said without hesitation."

"That damned eunuch, still spouting nonsense! He's utterly courting death!"

Sitting next to him, Su Yangyan said angrily, his face turning red.

"You think we can't do anything if you don't tell us? Lift your dog head and look at what this is?"

Enraged, Su Yangyan activated a Spirit Shadow Stone.

The Spirit Image Stone projected an image of the inner sect elders of Wu Ji fighting against Mo Yuming and others, along with their conversation.

Finally, the scene shows how the Falcon Guards, disguised as explorers, kill the five sinner youths.

When Eunuch Pao saw that the inner sect elder of the martial arts girl had been captured along with five criminal youths, he was completely dumbfounded.

Even if he were to tell the Inspector Wu Ji now that he had twenty criminal youths in his hands, no one would believe that these five were not from the original group; they would only think he was lying to exonerate himself.

Even if he saw Mo Yuming rescue those fifteen people with his own eyes, it wouldn't matter now.

Because he has no evidence to prove it, and on the contrary, anyone who has seen the footage would believe it.

Those remnants of the criminal clan were rescued by Wu Ji's people. The escaped remnants of the criminal clan are still in Wu Ji's hands. All of this was done to frame Mo Yuming and the others.

And that is indeed the case; they secretly brought the remnants of the criminal clan into Shangyuan City in order to frame Mo Yuming and his group.

At this point, Pao Gonggong finally felt fear and began to be afraid.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, each bead seemingly telling of his inner turmoil.
