Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 842 Arrival

Jian Rou listened to what Tie Hongyan said and shed tears sadly: "Acting Chief, I am very scared now, really scared! In fact, when I do some things, even I hate myself. A long time ago, I felt like I was trapped in a cage. I know some things. Whenever I feel trapped and can't breathe, I think about those things and tell myself that this cage is only temporarily trapping me, and I will be able to get out one day. But...but I don't know if I will suffocate to death before leaving the cage."

Tie Hongyan looked at Jian Rou's watery eyes. Although she was not very clear about what she said, she seemed to see her inner struggle. She suddenly felt sorry for Jian Rou, but soon thought of some of the things Jian Rou had done. She felt that no matter how much she felt sorry for her, she should be punished. Since she did it, she had to bear the consequences.

Tie Hongyan asked: "What do you mean by 'something' you know?"

Jian Rou said, "Some private matters."

"The kind that's inconvenient to say out loud?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes." Jian Rou nodded.

"Although I don't know some of the situations you mentioned, it seems that you really have no choice?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Jian Rou said: "I really hope that the Acting Clan Leader can punish us less severely!"

Tie Hongyan said: "It depends on what you do. Tomorrow when you arrive at the Court of Judicial Review, you must not protect Nie Yangwei again, and you must not tell a lie!"

"Okay." Jian Rou said, "Can my mother and father go to the Court of Judgment tomorrow?"

"Sure." Tie Hongyan said.

[Chapter 139]

The next day, Tie Hongyan, Wu Xunsheng, Tan Sizhi, Li Yu, the coroner, Quan Liu, Ji Dongzi, Fan Qinchang, Nie Yangwei, Nie Huihou, Zhang Kezhou, Niu Guopei, Jian Rou, Tian Wen, Tian Sha, Jian Liang, Xie Hui, Pi Deliang and others all appeared in the same room of the Guishen Hall. The people from the tavern and the two masters who protected the tavern owner and the tavern also arrived. Some of these people can move freely, while others are controlled and cannot move freely. Some people were sent all the way by their protectors, who were waiting for them in another room of the Guishen Hall. When Xie Hui went to the Guishen Hall, although he was no longer dressed up to make people difficult to recognize as before, he wore a bamboo hat and pulled the front of the bamboo hat very low, covering part of his face.

When Nie Yangwei saw Jian Rou walking in by herself, he was stunned for a moment. He thought she would appear in a wheelchair or with crutches, and that her appearance would let everyone know at a glance that her leg was injured in the pursuit.

When Nie Huihou saw Jian Rou walking normally on her own, he was extremely anxious.

Zhang Kezhou and Niu Guopei were so scared when they saw how Jian Rou walked that they immediately asked Nie Huihou if they could leave the Guishen Hall. Nie Huihou was already anxious, and when he heard them say that, he glared at the two and whispered that they were useless, and told them that as long as he didn't leave the Guishen Hall, they were not allowed to leave no matter what. Niu Guopei was so nervous that sweat was dripping down his face. Nie Huihou also told the two that if someone asked them questions, they must not say the wrong thing, otherwise he would not forgive them. So the two racked their brains to think of a solution, secretly hoping that no one would ask them questions.
