Chapter 183 - The Penalty Hall of Heaven School (2/2)

“You will find it out when arriving at the Penalty Hall.” The Fourth Honorable Elder says.

Yan Chao looks so confused.

The old man is the fourth honorable elder of the Heaven School, Daozhi. Yan Chao has told Gao Ge about him before.

At the Penalty Hall, Gao Ge and Yan Chao are tied up, who look rather embarrassed.

Actually, Gao Ge feels a bit insecure when he is tied up but he has made full preparation. Unless the Heaven School has installed a surveillance camera, they cannot find out the truth and do anything to him. If they do have such a thing in this remote place, Gao Ge will admit defeat anyway.

In a while, the sovereign and other honorable elders also arrive. It is such a big occasion that even the students in Penalty Hall feel quite shocked and can’t help guessing the reason. After all, the death of Shanyao and the other two students are so astonishing. They must also know about it.

“Bring Shanzhu and the other guy over here.” Daozhi orders.

Very soon, Shanzhu and the dark-skinned boy are brought into the Penalty Hall.

“Tell us, did you have a conflict with these two boys?” Daozhi says.

“Yes…” Shanzhu and the dark-skinned boy also get nervous.

They didn’t expect that the thing would become so severe. Even the sovereign and several honorable elders are asked to come here for the case.

Having obtained a satisfying reply, Daozhi is relieved and then turns to Gao Ge and Yan Chao, asking fiercely, “Now what do you want to say about this?”

Gao Ge and Yan Chao are both curious.

“Fourth Honorable Elder, may I ask what Yan Chao and I did wrong?”

“Don’t you know what you’ve done?” Daozhi says in a deep voice, “Are you trying to argue about it? How dare you feign ignorance in the Penalty Hall?”

Gao Ge sighs and utters no words.

“What do you mean?” Daozhi is dumbfounded, “Are you speechless to plead guilty?”

“No, I’m not. Yan Chao used to tell me that you were in charge of the Penalty Hall, which featured strict law enforcement, and that you were upright with high prestige, who would never show mercy for any criminal in the school.” Gao Ge says in a soft voice.

Daozhi’s face becomes less stern.

Everyone loves to hear flattering words.

Gao Ge keeps saying, “As a man with an abhorrence of sin, if you really reckon us as the murderers, you will kill us instantly. Why are you bothering talking so much to us?”

Daozhi is shocked. He looks at Gao Ge with narrowed eyes. Something unusual reflects in his eyes.

“Therefore, Fourth Honorable Elder, I think you should tell us first what on earth happened. If we know anything about that, we will speak without reserve. Yan Chao and I have been arrested and brought here when we just got up. We are at such a loss. Maybe you have any misunderstanding on us. We would like to work with you to prove innocence.”

“To prove your innocence? Since so, I will have a talk with you then.” Daozhi says with a sneer, “Did you have a conflict with Shanyao and the other two victims yesterday?”

“No.” Gao Ge says in a determined look with his head up.

Now even Yan Chao is staring at him with a complex look.

“How dare you say that? Ha ha. It is out of my expectation that a young man like you is so stubborn. The factotum who takes care of you saw the clash between you and the victims yesterday. How dare you try to deny it? Do you think I am old so you can fool me?” Daozhi says with anger.

Gao Ge stares at Daozhi, saying, “The factotum saw it? Fourth Honorable Elder, do you dare to ask him to confront us?”

“Why not? Bring the man here!”

As Daozhi orders, two students in white bring the factotum in grey forward at once, who looks rather terrified.

“Man, did you see a clash happened between us and Shanyao along with his peers?” Gao Ge asks.

“Yes…” The factotum says in a trembling voice.

Daozhi says grinningly, “What can you say now?”

“Fourth Honorable Elder, please wait a minute.” Gao Ge looks at the factotum, asking in a soft voice, “Tell us, did you actually see that we had a conflict with Shanyao and his peers or he came to insult and bully us with his peers?”

The factotum is transfixed without uttering any word.

Gao Ge gives a smile.
