Chapter 2646: City Gate Official

The Nine Gates Admiral glanced at the City Gate Official beside him and asked in an odd tone, "The Princess Consort of War Prince is asking what evidence you have. Hurry up and present it! You need to convince everyone."

What evidence? The City Gate Official didn’t have any evidence at all, and the Weirdo wasn’t a spy; he just beat him up, and he was deliberately framing him out of resentment.

The City Gate Official’s sly eyes darted around as he thought of strategies to cover up the situation, but at this moment, his mind was blank, unable to come up with anything: "This... this...!"

After mumbling for a long time, not a word came out.

The Nine Gates Admiral, initially full of confidence, in the end, seeing the City Gate Official being so hesitant, felt a bit embarrassed. He lifted his chubby foot and kicked over, cursing, "Why are you stammering? Tell us what evidence you have, the Princess Consort is waiting to hear!"

The City Gate Official was extremely miserable, as the two big figures were glaring at him. His usually nimble mind seemed blocked, unable to think of anything.

The City Gate Official’s tongue was twisted: "This... this...!"

The Nine Gates Admiral grew impatient, angrily said, "If you dare continue this, believe it or not, I’ll cut out your tongue!"

Upon hearing this, the City Gate Official shook all over and quickly said, "That Weirdo was sneaky, sneaking glances while lying on the ground; one look and you know he’s no good!"

Then added, "Once I saw him, I knew he must be a spy from Wei Country, so I immediately sent someone to arrest him, but this Weirdo is highly skilled in martial arts, and we simply couldn’t handle him."

The more the Nine Gates Admiral listened, the more unpleasant his expression became. What kind of evidence was that?

Xuexue coldly laughed and said mockingly, "Sir, is this how you investigate cases as well? Many common people must have died unjustly this way."

The Nine Gates Admiral first glared fiercely at the City Gate Official, then smiled at Xuexue and said, "The Princess Consort of War Prince can rest assured that I always base my case decisions on three types of evidence; I would never disregard the law and take lives lightly, or else I would have long returned home to plant sweet potatoes."

Xuexue: "Oh? What are those three types?"

The Nine Gates Admiral: "Witness testimony, physical evidence, secondary evidence, and of course, if there’s a body, corpse proof too."

While he explained thoroughly, Xuexue knew these were just official speak used to pacify those who didn’t understand the law. The reality, only they themselves knew.

Xuexue smiled icily: "But, the senior in front of us, you clearly have no evidence, so how did you classify him as a spy?"

The Nine Gates Admiral began to speak favorably: "Currently, Wei Country and we are at war; the Capital is an important place, so the government office being cautious is a good thing. What do you think, Princess Consort?"

Xuexue: "Everything you’re saying is correct, quickly have your subordinates stop!"

The City Gate Official was a bit reluctant; just hit by the Weirdo, he was still aching slightly. To let the Weirdo go like this really felt like too much of a bargain for him.

But, as a mere City Gate Official, how could he dare to disobey the words of the Nine Gates Admiral?

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, quickly stop!" Even though his heart was unwilling, due to his lowly status, the City Gate Official could only shout orders to his subordinates.

"Ah... ah... ah!" Screams continued to echo.

It wasn’t that the Government Soldiers didn’t want to stop, but the initiative simply wasn’t in their hands.

The Weirdo’s body bounced up from the ground, sweeping the Government Soldiers with force, sending dozens of them flying, and screams continuously echoed.

The expressions of the Nine Gates Admiral and the City Gate Official could hardly look any worse as they watched the scene.
