I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 756

Chapter 756: Chapter 284: Who’s Really Stealing Food? Her Majesty the Empress Summons!

The hall was deathly silent, only the voices of Chen Mo and Chu Heng echoing in the air:

[Why did you kill them?]

[Some people know too much and must die...]

This conversation exploded in everyone’s hearts like a thunderclap!

Zhu Qiming, the judge of Jingzhao Mansion, Zhu Chen, the doctor of the Ritual Department, Gao Jun, the Chief of the Directly Affiliated Department...

These names were very familiar; they had all appeared in the evidence previously submitted by Chen Zhuo, accused of having close private dealings with Chu Heng and suspected of abusing power and forming cliques.

Before the matter could escalate, all of them claimed illness and returned home, their whereabouts still unknown.

Was it really Chu Heng who silenced them?!

The interrogation continued, and the ensuing content left them speechless!

[Were you behind the Barbarian Slave Case?]

[I hooked up with the Household Officer from Nantu State, obtained a batch of barbarian slaves through the black market, and then transported them by water to Tiandu City...]

[What about the tunnel out of the city?]

[I got the city defense map from Zhu Qiming and found a few clerks from the Ministry of Construction, secretly excavating under the pretense of street repairs...]

[What was the purpose of digging the tunnel?]

[For... for...]

The conversation abruptly stopped here.

Everyone looked at each other, expressions filled with shock.

Although Chu Heng still did not explain why the tunnel was excavated, they already had an idea.

The shocking Zhou Family Case that once shook the court, the Zhou Family guard had used that tunnel to leave the city, colluding with the Demon Clan to mine Red Sand. If this confession was true, then Chu Heng indeed had the suspicion of treason!

Once the charge was confirmed, even being part of the Imperial Family couldn’t save him from execution!

In comparison, the punishments he had suffered seemed insignificant...

The image interrupted, and Eunuch Jin put away the Image Stone. From behind the bamboo curtain came the Empress’s indifferent voice: "What do you all think of this?"

After a brief silence, the court erupted in an uproar!

"Chu Heng was behind all these major cases?!"

"I said long ago, Zhou Chuanbing didn’t have the guts or motive to do such things; he was just made a scapegoat!"

"It seems Chen Mo really didn’t wrong Chu Heng, and the Three Departments’ decision to arrest him was justified!"

"Though the case processing was somewhat careless, the flaws do not obscure the merits. This matter is too significant; the culprit must be apprehended immediately, or who knows what disaster might unfold!"

"Ridiculous, some people even doubted Chen Mo. If not for him, you might not even be standing here in court!"

"A bunch of pedantic scholars with waterlogged brains, defending a traitorous criminal and instead trying to impeach a meritorious minister of the Earth God, such hearts deserve damnation!"
