Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1351 (One Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty One)

Nie Huihou asked her why she calculated this, and she said that after she figured it out, she would ask the three of them.

"Ask them?" Nie Huihou asked.

Tie Hongyan said that she would tell them what she wanted them to say, and then mention the double reward, and ask them if they would be willing to do it according to her wishes if they were given that amount of reward. If anyone of them was unwilling to do it, she would offer triple the reward and see if it worked.

She then emphasized that she was impartial, saying, "Even if two people have already decided to do what I said when I said double the pay, as long as the third person decided to do it after I said increase the pay, then I will pay the highest pay to the three people. In short, the pay for the three people will be the same."

Nie Huihou suppressed his anger and said that her words would cause others to suspect that he had taught the three of them how to say it and tempted them with rewards, so that they stood up.

He said that he had never taught the three people what to say, and that in fact there were more than just three of them who could testify, and that things would become clearer when the fourth person who could testify arrived.

At this time, Jian Liang arrived under the control of the people in the Guishen Hall.

Nie Huihou told Tie Hongyan that this was the fourth person who could testify, and added: "No one would suspect that he testified for the reward!"

When Tie Hongyan saw that the fourth person was Jian Liang, and Nie Huihou didn't know what Jian Liang had talked to her about the day before, she felt that things would be much easier. At this moment, she felt that if she continued to ask Nie Huihou how much he promised to pay the three people, she probably wouldn't get anything out of him. Since it was no longer a good idea to not ask the question there, she simply didn't ask any more questions. So she said that since the fourth person was already there, she would not ask Elder Nie how much he promised to pay the three people, but would first see what the fourth person would do.

Jian Liang said to Nie Huihou, "Elder Nie asked the people from the Rules and Trials Hall to bring me here. What is he trying to do?"

Tie Hongyan asked Jian Liang in front of Nie Huihou: "Did Elder Nie ask the people from the Rules and Regulations Hall to bring you here?" She felt that saying this would easily make the people present think that Jian Liang came here passively.

Jian Liang answered her and said yes.

Nie Huihou said that Jian Liang's current situation was special and he couldn't come whenever he wanted, so he made it clear to the people in the Guishen Hall on Jian Liang's behalf, and only then would they allow him to come.

Tie Hongyan asked Jian Liang if he "wanted to come" and also asked: "Did you hope that someone would 'tell' the people in the Guishen Palace for you?"

She thought that after asking this question, Jian Liang's answer would be what she wanted to hear. With this question and answer, it would be easy for some people present to feel more clearly that Jian Liang, the so-called fourth witness, did not come here of his own will.

Jian Liang's answer was indeed in line with Tie Hongyan's wishes. He told Tie Hongyan that he had been in the Guishen Hall the whole time, and if no one told him, he would not know what was happening outside, and it was not that he took the initiative to express that he "wanted to come". He also said: "Besides, I am just a person imprisoned in the Guishen Hall now. Even if I want someone to say something to the people in the Guishen Hall 'on my behalf', I dare not trouble Elder Nie."

Nie Yangwei felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, but he had Jian Liang brought here himself. There was no other way. He felt that as long as Jian Liang testified, it would be enough.
