Chapter 570: 289: Slay A Shi Zhuo!_3

So, Suo Lun made a decisive move and captured Lady Li Zhi.

...

A Shi Zhuo arrived at the foot of the stairs, bowed deeply to the Lady Li Zhi high above, and said, "My Lady, I heard you have three questions to interrogate Lord Ashi Liren?"

"Yes," Lady Li Zhi said.

A Shi Zhuo asked, "Lord Ashi Liren, do you accept the interrogation?"

"I accept," Liren said coldly.

At that moment, everyone even looked at Ashi Liren with some sympathy.

That statement almost meant that Liren was now fish on the chopping board, completely at the mercy of others; her removal from the position of City Lord had become an inevitability.

Lady Li Zhi took out a parchment, and slowly said, "I have three questions to interrogate Ashi Liren."

"Yes, Mother," Ashi Liren said.

"The first question, thirteen years ago, in the struggle for the leadership of the Rouran Cavalry, did A Shi Zhuo poison his elder brother Ashinie?"

"The second question, the sorcerer Zuo Qiu, did he come to Lord Ashimo’s side through A Shi Zhuo’s introduction? Furthermore, did he spread fallacies to confuse the public, leading Lord Ashimo to neglect state affairs until he abandoned the material world and wandered the heavens?"

"The third question, eight years ago, in order to kill the Great Commander of the Rou Ran City infantry, Meng Fang, did A Shi Zhuo conspire with the Night Orchid Duchy, trapping Meng Fang and twenty thousand troops to their death and causing Rou Ran City to lose two hundred li of territory?"

Lady Li Zhi, who must have rehearsed several times, rapidly read out all three questions in one breath.

Last night, Suo Lun forced her to write down the secret sins of A Shi Zhuo, a full dozen or so, and ultimately selected these three most serious ones.

When the first accusation was pronounced, A Shi Zhuo was completely stunned.

The several hundred civil and military elites present were also completely stunned.

Wasn’t this an interrogation of the City Lord Ashi Liren? Wasn’t it about ousting her from office? How did it turn into an attack on A Shi Zhuo now?

By the time Lady Li Zhi read out the second accusation, A Shi Zhuo already sensed danger and was about to lash out.

But he found that he couldn’t utter a sound, and he couldn’t even move at all.

Because Ashi Liren was standing next to him, her jade finger pressing on his back, she said coldly, "If you have something to say, wait until Mother has finished interrogating."

After Lady Li Zhi finished asking the three questions, she said to Ashi Liren, "These three grave sins are backed by both human and physical evidence. Ashi Liren, as the City Lord, you have been negligent in your duties, how should you be held accountable?"

Ashi Liren said, "Mother, please calm your anger, I will deal with it immediately!"

Then, she said coldly, "A Shi Zhuo is guilty of these three heinous crimes, bordering on rebellion, for which there is no forgiveness. Execute him immediately, bring me the sword!"

She extended her jade hand.

Suo Lun stepped forward and placed the Dragon Gold Sword in her hand.

That bastard deliberately took the opportunity to pinch Liren’s little hand.

Liren’s delicate body quivered; this was the first time a man had touched her skin while she was conscious.

Internally grinding her teeth in fury, she wished to chop off Suo Lun’s head with a sword. But it was a critical moment, and she couldn’t even glare at Suo Lun.

With a fierce draw of the Dragon Gold Sword, Ashi Liren asked A Shi Zhuo, "Do you have any last words?"

A Shi Zhuo, stricken with terror, said tremblingly, "Liren, don’t kill me!"

"Swoosh..." Before he could finish speaking, Liren beheaded him with a single sword strike.

The fearful and horrified head of Ashimo was cleanly severed, the neck as smooth as a mirror, flash-frozen, with not even blood flowing out.

It took a good while before blood gushed out like a fountain.
