The crowd looked at the middle-aged fatty when Qin Ying said, “So what if there is a secret passage? What does that prove?”
Chen Jie replied, “It can prove that during that time, not only could I enter the room, but so could others. Conversely, I was seen outside, without the opportunity to take action.”
“Heh, having a secret passage proves you had no opportunity to act? Then tell me, who went through that secret door?”
Chen Jie said, “Bring more people!”
Soon another young staff member was brought in. Chen Jie said, “This is the tea-serving staff from the Spring Breeze Theater that day. He saw someone leave then.”
“Young brother, don’t be scared. Tell us, besides me, who else was not there at that time?”
The staff member, seeing so many high-ranking figures, was trembling all over in fear. Qin Ying glanced at him and said with a snort, “Kid, you’d better think carefully before you speak. If you dare to falsely accuse someone from the Fishing Guild, consider the consequences.”
“Ah~”
After hearing this, the staff member’s voice cracked and he trembled even more.
It was at this moment that a voice suddenly rang out, “Don’t be afraid. Mianshui County is not owned by his Fishing Guild. What’s the matter, Qin Ying, you think the Fishing Guild can cover the sky with one hand in Mianshui County?”
Qimu Ge suddenly spoke up at this time.
Qin Ying jumped in fright, glanced at Nan Batian, and immediately apologized, “I wouldn’t dare, please, Commander, calm your anger.”
Qimu Ge said, “Remember this, all of you. Mianshui County is also under Lord Darugachi’s jurisdiction. Rein in those little schemes of yours. Don’t think that just because you have some power, you’re invincible. If you offend my lord, just how would you fare?”
Qimu Ge’s voice was ice cold, making Qin Ying shiver all over.
The expression on Nan Batian’s face also turned very ugly. There was a hidden meaning in those words.
What did this mean? Was Lord Darugachi displeased with him?
Nan Batian frowned, and Qin Ying immediately apologized, “Commander, please calm your anger. I spoke out of turn.”
Qimu Ge then said to the young staff member, “Speak, don’t omit a single word. Today, no one can stop you.”
Chen Jie then said to the staff member, “Don’t worry, with Lord Darugachi backing you!”
After hearing this, the staff member said, “Lord, that day I was in charge of pouring… pouring water. I happened to have reached the second row when I discovered… Mr. Feng wasn’t there. I looked up and saw Mr. Feng leaving, going in the direction of… of the secret passage!”
The staff member was so scared he stuttered.
Hearing this, everyone simultaneously turned to look at Feng Xuan above on the high platform.
Feng Xuan’s face remained unchanged as he followed with a cold laugh, “Chen Jiusi, what a clever scheme you’ve come up with. But you think you can frame me just by finding some tea server to speak? Everyone here is not a fool. Such false testimony cannot prove that I followed this so-called secret passage into my adopted father’s room, and it certainly does not prove I killed my adopted father!”

Upon hearing this, everyone also thought to themselves that indeed, what could such evidence prove? Could it prove who was able to enter Peng Shizhong’s room at that time? But was everyone who could enter the killer?
Perhaps this was a trap that Chen Jie had set up to exonerate himself from the beginning?
So at this time, everyone was silent. This could not be considered as evidence and could not prove anything.
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Feng Xuan and said, “Brother, don’t be anxious. This is just the appetizer. The main event is coming up next. Please welcome Miss Huadie!”
Who?
At Chen Jie’s call, the room instantly erupted into an uproar.
The case of Peng Shizhong was the most talked-about recent event in Mianshui County, and everyone knew that Peng Shizhong’s death was directly related to Huadie, because it was she who had used the Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder, which then led to Peng Shizhong’s death under Chen Jiusi’s Stone Breaking Hand.
Moreover, what was more important was the fact that Huadie was said to have committed suicide out of guilt, wasn’t she?
How could she now be called as a witness? Could Chen Jiusi actually summon a ghost?
The crowd was perplexed, all eyes turned towards Chen Jie’s rear.
At this time, Feng Xuan and the others looked towards Nan Batian. It was precisely because of his previous act of mercy, not killing Huadie, that such an awkward situation had arisen today. Now someone had been able to have her appear as evidence.
Nan Batian’s expression also darkened.
And just then, two people were seen supporting Huadie as she walked in.
When the crowd saw Huadie, those who recognized her immediately exclaimed, “Ah, it’s Huadie! She… she really isn’t dead!”
“Indeed, it’s Huadie. I know her.”
“Yes, Huadie! Wasn’t she said to be dead? How come she is still alive?”
…
A group of people chattered simultaneously as Huadie was brought closer. Chen Jie said to Huadie, “Miss Huadie, let me introduce to you, this gentleman here is Lord Darugachi’s Commander Qimu Ge.”
“Greetings, my lord.”
Huadie spoke timidly, and Chen Jie then turned towards Nan Batian, “This man you should know well, the leader of our Fishing Guild, Nan Batian!”
“Greetings, Guild Leader Nan.”
Huadie was a bit shy to look at Nan Batian, who then glanced at her and said, “Miss Huadie, are you here to testify?”
Upon hearing this, Huadie lowered her head and said nothing.
Qimu Ge chuckled, “Indeed, she was personally invited by Lord Darugachi to testify.”
Nan Batian fell silent, and then Qimu Ge said, “Miss Huadie, today we have all the dignitaries of Mianshui County present. Every word you say will reach Lord Darugachi’s ears. I hope you will not lie.”
Huadie nodded faintly, and then Qimu Ge said, “Alright, gentlemen, Lord Darugachi places great importance on the death of Sect Master Peng. Sect Master Peng was a good friend of our lord, and he certainly would not allow the murderer to go unpunished.”
“Today, we have especially invited Miss Huadie as a witness to inform everyone of the truth behind this matter.”
