As several officials of the government, including Lu Zhaoran, reluctantly pressed their official seals on the closed case files.
The seven-court trial, which had been watched by the entire Xia Tian for a long time, also came to an end at this time.
As the chief officer of this seven-court trial, Zhong Yuan took the file that had been stamped with the official seal of the seven parties. He placed it in front of his eyes, read it carefully and then walked to Chu Qingxiao.
"congratulations."
"Chu Qingxiao from Wuling City."
"As a citizen of Daxia, you have restored your identity from today on!"
He said with a smile, the expression on his brows was relaxed, and there was no strong hostility towards Chu Qingxiao when they first met.
Chu Qingxiao also looked at Zhong Yuan, bowed his hands respectfully, and said: "It is all thanks to the general's impartial enforcement of the law that Chu Qingxiao was able to clear his grievances."
"If there is a request in the future, no one dares to disobey."
Chu Qingxiao's words were not just for the occasion.
He knew very clearly that if it hadn't been for the help of Zhong Yuan and Qiao Qingzhi, he would not have been able to wait for the Forbidden God Stone to prove his identity. He would have been directly convicted or even killed on the spot because the experience he described was too unbelievable.
At the same time, he also understands that there is no pie in the sky in this world.
He has no friendship with King Wu, and he has no contact with Jian Tiansi. Naturally, the two are so helpful because he is useful to them.
Chu Qingxiao's sense of King Wu and Jian Tiansi was not good, and he was not even sure what role they played in the Xizhou Sword Armor incident.
But Chu Qingxiao is not a three-year-old child. Although he has his own likes and dislikes in his heart, he will not necessarily completely break up with anyone.
King Wu and Jian Tiansi helped him because they must have seen some value in him.
And Chu Qingxiao also needs their help to complete his task of clearing the grievances of the Xizhou Sword Armors.
Both parties use each other and get what each other needs.
Chu Qingxiao's words were naturally telling Zhong Yuan, or Prince Wu's Mansion behind Zhong Yuan, that he accepted this kindness and was willing to repay it.
Zhong Yuan seemed to appreciate Chu Qingxiao's superiority. He nodded with satisfaction and said: "King Wu often teaches us that we officials of Daxia should do things for the people of Daxia."
"I'm doing my duty, you don't have to be grateful."
"but……"
At this point, Zhong Yuan changed the topic and suddenly squinted his eyes and smiled: "Now that you have restored your identity, you are naturally a citizen of Daxia..."
"I hope you can also do your part."
Chu Qingxiao was stunned when he heard this, and did not immediately understand Zhong Yuan's meaningful words.
Without waiting for him to fully understand the meaning of the other person's words, Zhong Yuan passed him, walked to the stage of the sword-wielding hall, and raised the file in his hand.
"Seven halls will examine it together, and tens of thousands of people will sign the petition!"
"Therefore the Hanging Mirror Hall is opened!"
"At this moment, the dust has settled, and the officials from the Seven Halls jointly ruled that Chu Qingxiao's identity is true, and he is indeed a survivor of Wuling City twelve years ago!"
"Now that the file is here, I will ask my officials to make tens of thousands of copies and circulate them throughout Daxia. If you have any objections, you can submit the documents to Prince Wu's Mansion within three days!"
As soon as this statement came out, it meant that the matter came to an end, and Chu Qingxiao's identity was confirmed.
Song Qingqing and others, who had been worried about this, also breathed a sigh of relief.
When the outer disciples who were watching around saw that Chu Qingxiao's identity was confirmed, they also burst into cheers.
The crowd went wild.
Some people shouted that Mr. Chu is a lucky man and a good match for heaven!
Someone shouted that good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded!
The scene was huge, and the momentum was overwhelming for a while.
Chu Qingxiao never thought that he would be so loved in the eyes of the outer disciples in Tianxuan City.
As the inner disciples responsible for maintaining order withdrew, a large number of outer disciples gathered around Chu Qingxiao and said words of gratitude with excitement on his face.
Chu Qingxiao didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
He knew very well that what he saw before him was not his own fault, but the result of the Mirror Stage's deliberate exaggeration.
He really felt guilty, but he couldn't express it clearly, so he could only deal with it with a slight embarrassment.
And for these outer disciples who were grateful to him, this kind of behavior was more like an awe-inspiring act of righteousness that did not want to repay the favor.
This naturally made everyone feel that Chu Qingxiao was a rare good person, and the emotions surrounding him became even higher.
Chu Qingxiao, who was tired of dealing with all this, didn't notice that behind the crowd, a figure wearing a Tsing Yi and a mask was watching all of this silently. At the same time, the palms hidden under his wide sleeves were knotted at that time. Several handprints.
So a faint golden halo overflowed from the bodies of these people, and poured into Chu Qingxiao's body under such fanatical emotions...
…
In a courtyard not far from the sword-wielding hall.
Fan Yuanwu opened the courtyard door with a gloomy expression. Several disciples from Tianxuan Mountain had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Fan Yuanwu, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to answer.
Fan Yuanwu ignored them and walked straight to the room, where there was a stone engraved with many runes placed on the inside.
It was the Forbidden God Stone that was used to test Chu Qingxiao's identity just now in front of the Sword Holding Hall!
Fan Yuanwu didn't say anything, he just walked to the Forbidden God Stone and reached out to touch the Forbidden God Stone.
The stone body was calm, with no light surging at all.
"Sure enough!" Fan Yuanwu seemed to have got some answers, he whispered,
The Tianxuan Mountain disciples standing outside the door did not know what Fan Yuanwu was doing. They just understood that the other party was not in a good mood at the moment, so they could only lower their heads and stand cautiously outside the door, not daring to make any sound. .
At this moment, Fan Yuanwu slowly walked to the door of the room carrying the Forbidden God Stone.
"Tell me! What's going on?" Fan Yuanwu looked at the disciples, raised the Forbidden God Stone, and asked with an evil look on his face.
Those disciples looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to respond to Fan Yuanwu's words.
Fan Yuanwu's anger reached its peak at this moment.
"Say!!" He shouted loudly and said this, and at the same time, bursts of cold energy spread around him, covering the entire courtyard door.
Those disciples suddenly felt as if they were in a cold kiln, and their faces turned pale.
One of them fell to his knees and said, "Senior brother, calm down, we are also following orders..."
"I didn't know that Chu Qingxiao was so cunning and cunning, I don't know how to escape the disaster..."
"Bastard!" Fan Yuanwu roared angrily and threw the Forbidden God Stone worth thousands of gold on the ground. The Forbidden God Stone immediately shattered and splashed all over the ground.
He used so much force that the scattered stones even cut the skin of some disciples. However, under Fan Yuanwu's rage, those disciples could only stand there, gritting their teeth and enduring the pain, not daring to make any sound. , for fear of angering the other party.
"This Forbidden God Stone was clearly fine before. Who asked you to tamper with it on your own?" Fan Yuanwu continued to ask.
"If you dare to ruin my big job, believe it or not, I will let you die here right now!"
Fan Yuanwu's words made several disciples even more frightened. One of them trembled: "Brother, it was the master who asked us to do this..."
"Headmaster?" After hearing this name, the anger in Fan Yuanwu's eyes dissipated a little.
When those disciples saw this, they secretly thought that they could escape this disaster by relying on their reputation as head teacher, and hurriedly said: "Yes."
"The Headmaster heard about this. He has always cared about Senior Brother Fan, so he asked us to do some tricks on the Forbidden God Stone, hoping to completely shut up Chu Qingxiao!"
"Hands and legs? What hands and feet?!" Fan Yuanwu asked.
"The headmaster said that although the origin of Chu Qingxiao is unknown, since he knows everything about Wuling City, he is probably him. In order to ensure that the Forbidden God Stone can prove that his identity is related to the gods."
"The headmaster specially found half a low-level divine marrow, put it into the Forbidden God Stone, and rewritten the runes on the Forbidden God Stone so that it could only react to the divinity in this divine marrow. In this way, It is difficult for others to verify the authenticity, but once Chu Qingxiao touches the Forbidden God Stone, we can secretly use the method to activate it and pour the divinity in the marrow into his body, so that the Forbidden God Stone will react."
"This can ensure that Chu Qingxiao pleads guilty and faces justice..."
As the disciple said this, his voice became smaller and smaller. Apparently he realized that his move was superfluous and ruined Fan Yuanwu's important matter.
And as the disciple described it, Fan Yuanwu's face became grimmer every breath, and finally broke out at this moment.
"Get out!" He shouted lowly and pointed in the direction of the courtyard door.
Seeing that Fan Yuanwu was obviously furious, those disciples naturally did not dare to stay. After hearing this, they all felt as if they were being pardoned. They stood up one after another and ran out of the courtyard in embarrassment as if they were running away.
When those disciples walked away, Fan Yuanwu stood in the courtyard with his head lowered, but bursts of laughter suddenly burst out from his mouth.
"Hahaha……"
"idiot……"
"idiot!"
"You are idiots!"
"Yu Wenchi is a fool!"
"Everyone up and down Tianxuan Mountain is an idiot!"
Fan Yuanwu murmured to himself.
Yuwen Chi is the name of the headmaster of Tianxuan Mountain.
As a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain, such words are extremely treasonous.
But Fan Yuanwu didn't care. Instead, his voice became louder and louder as he spoke, and the look on his face became more and more sad. In the end, his eyes turned red and he started crying.
As if all his strength had been taken away from him, he collapsed on the ground, tears in his eyes falling down his cheeks...
I didn't know how long I cried like this, but suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder.
It was a gray hand with purple lines that looked like blood vessels, spreading all the way from the knuckles to the arm.
Fan Yuanwu was stunned and turned to look at the person behind him.
I saw that it was a young man who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. His skin was a sickly gray color, and he did not look like a stranger.
His face also has the same purple lines as those on his palms, but if you look carefully, you can find that he looks somewhat similar to Fan Yuanwu...
Fan Yuanwu was not at all surprised or panicked at the sudden appearance of the "uninvited guest". He just stood up and looked at the other person, with a look of guilt on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Yuanwen...I..."
"Brother, it's okay." The young man interrupted Fan Yuanwu with a smile, but his gray and lined face, paired with such a smile, looked a bit weird and scary.
"I am the one who deserves to die. I shouldn't let my brother do it for me..."
"No! You don't deserve to die! Why do you want to die! Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to save you!"
"As long as I am here, no one can take you away from me!" Fan Yuanwu interrupted the young man with excitement.
There was fire in his eyes, and the expression on his face was full of paranoia and madness.
He stood up, hugged the young man into his arms, and whispered: "You are the one who should live!"
"Yuanwen, don't worry, brother has found a way, I will definitely be able to save you!!!"
The young man held in Fan Yuanwu's arms was stunned for a moment, and there was a moment of hesitation on his face. But the next moment, he reached out and hugged Fan Yuanwu, patted Fan Yuanwu's back and said softly: "I believe it." Brother..."
As he spoke, his figure gradually faded into light and shadow, pouring into Fan Yuanwu's body.
