I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Chapter 61: Turn this Court Upside Down!

Demon Clan Case solved?

Inside the great hall, there was dead silence, all eyes turned towards Chen Zhuo.

Even his fellow officials were stunned, and one of the Six Divisions murmured:

"Mr. Chen, don’t be impulsive, Zhou Chuanbing has no evidence, he can’t threaten the young master."

"That’s right, this is a provocation tactic, don’t fall into the trap."

The Demon Clan moved mysteriously, ignoring the arrays; the Demon Suppression Department turned Tiandu City upside down and found no clues at all... Suddenly the case was solved?

How could that be?

Honestly, if it were not for the content in that Image Stone, even Chen Zhuo himself wouldn’t believe it.

Zhou Chuanbing was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Since the case is solved, where is the Demon Clan now?"

Chen Zhuo replied indifferently, "Vanished without a trace."

"Ha ha ha!"

Zhou Chuanbing couldn’t help but burst into laughter, clapping his hands mockingly, "What a ’Vanished without a trace!’ So, whether the Demon Clan is dead or alive depends solely on Mr. Chen’s word?"

Yan Peizhi snorted coldly and shook his head, "Such handling of the case is indeed effortless."

"With the strict inspections recently in the city, the Demon Clan dares not show up; if Mr. Chen said it’s dead, then it’s dead!"

"What if, after some time, the Demon Clan commits another crime?"

"Then it would be another Demon Creature’s doing; what does it have to do with this case?"

"Ha ha, reasonable, Mr. Chen indeed has great tactics!"

The Six Ministers joked and chattered sarcastically.

Meanwhile, the officials, known for their sharp tongues, now looked at each other, unsure of how to proceed.

They had some hope originally, but the phrase "vanished without a trace" had completely dashed their hopes.

Logically speaking, such a shallow provocation tactic should not fool Chen Zhuo; perhaps it was an impulsive decision driven by his urgency to protect.

Foolish indeed!

Even if the case wasn’t solved, at most it would be considered "inefficiency". Chen Mo is still young, and even if he were demoted, it would not be a substantial harm in the long run.

But if it turns into "deceiving and lying to the superior," that would escalate things! Her Majesty the Empress has been looking for a handle and might use this to implicate the whole Chen Family!

At this moment, the Capital Mayor, Cui Hao, stood out and seized the opportunity to jab further:

"The Demon Clan is dead? Why was this official not informed?"

"Moreover, I’ve heard that the Investigator went to Chen Mo multiple times to discuss the case and plan the search, but Chen Mo refused to meet with him, showing a completely indifferent attitude, not taking the case seriously at all."

"Is it that just by sitting at home, the Demon Clan came to him on its own?"

The Six Ministers burst into another round of laughter.

"Cough cough."

At that moment, the Empress gently coughed.

"Silence!"

Eunuch Jin’s voice was piercingly high, causing a buzz in everyone’s ears and instantly bringing quiet to the hall.

From behind the bamboo curtain came a gentle voice:

"Mr. Chen, without any proof, you claim the Demon Clan is dead; shouldn’t you present some evidence?"

Chen Zhuo responded, "Your Highness, since I’ve made such a statement, naturally there is genuine proof."

"Oh?"

Seeing his confidence, the Empress’s voice grew curious, "Where is the evidence?"

Chen Zhuo presented an Image Stone, "The entire process of the Demon Slaying has been recorded, Your Highness, please review it."

Eunuch Jin walked over to take it.

Before handing it over to the Empress, he naturally inspected it first.

As his mind delved into it, the stone in his hand suddenly tremored, projecting a huge image above the grand hall.

?!

Eunuch Jin’s brow furrowed, trying to cut off the image.

However, the Image Stone emitted a cyan-green light, floating in mid-air, blocking the Primordial Qi from outside and remaining unmoved regardless of any intervention, leaving no choice but to watch the scene unfold.

Eunuch Jin’s heart sank.

It was Consort Yu...

...

The ministers watched the pitch-black image, utterly confused.

"Mr. Chen, is this the evidence you spoke of?"

"Showing us the night scenery of Tiandu City?"

Chen Zhuo remained silent.

However, Zhou Chuanbing’s expression slightly changed.

Below the night sky, a figure emerged from the back door of Zhou Mansion and silently slipped into an alley with another person.

Subsequently, the perspective switched to Chen Mo, who followed them, sneaking into an abandoned house and leaving Tiandu City through an underground passage.

Seeing this scene, the ministers’ expressions became uneasy.

This was the Great Yuan Capital City, bypassing official checkpoints and compromising city defenses, could be dealt with as rebellion!

Continuing to watch, Chen Mo and Lin Jingzhu tracked down to the West Desolate Mountain.

Chen Mo broke through the Array, entered a cave, and walked down the stone steps to the mountain’s interior, revealing a massive mining cavern—

"What?!"

"This is Red Sand Mine!"

"Secretly mining Red Sand, it’s akin to plotting a rebellion – is this a preparation for a revolt?"

"Seeing the scale of the mine, it must have been excavated for at least half a year, who would dare?"

In an instant, uproar filled the grand hall, ministers panicked, and the noise was overwhelming!

Yet, they were still puzzled, it was supposed to be an investigation of the Demon Clan, how did it lead to mining issues?

Soon, their doubts were answered—

Chilling winds howled, a piercing shriek, causing one’s heart to turn cold!
