Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 228 Is the Son of Heaven Dead?

  The style of the third prince Ji re-investigating the case is very different.

   Originally, Li Ji, who came from an aristocratic family, was deeply involved in various forces, and anyone who came to investigate had to be careful, but this King Zhao was a nobleman, and he didn't pay any attention to these messes.

  If you are dishonest, I will beat you.

   With this kind of quick knife and mess, Li Ji couldn't hold on any longer.

   It's not because he has no backbone. Originally, a family member like him could commit suicide in minutes in order not to involve the family, but this King Zhao tied all Li Ji's family members in the capital in front of him.

Li Ji has many wives and concubines, as well as many children. There are four sons and two daughters. The oldest is just 18 years old. The youngest daughter is only four or five years old this year. In front of Li Ji.

   The third prince's face was hideous.

   "If you don't speak again, this king will kill them all!"

   Li Ji was covered in wounds at the moment. After seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

   This doesn't seem like the behavior of a minister of punishment, this is clearly a bandit who kidnapped a ticket!

   Great Jin, is there no king law?

  Li Ji struggled to sit up, and hissed: "Your Highness, which national law of the Jin Dynasty asked you to try this case?"

  The third prince, Ji Chong, was expressionless, and directly picked up a knife and stabbed one of Li Ji's sons in the chest and abdomen. This son was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he died without even screaming.

  The other Li family members shrank aside and were afraid to speak.

   "Fuck your mother's law!"

  This third prince, liked to hang out in the military camp since he was a child, so he learned a lot of swear words from those Qiu Ba.

   He looked at Li Ji fiercely and sneered "hoho".

   "Do you know what's going on right now? This king's father and emperor, my holy son of the Jin Dynasty, because you group of chaotic ministers and thieves are in the palace at this time, you don't know your life or death!"

   "Now, I have confiscated the entire Li family in Zhao County without any reason, and no one in the court dares to say that this king is wrong. You bastard, how dare you raise the law with this king!"

   Ji Zhong stabbed a Li family member to death.

   "In Dajin, my Ji family is the national law!"

  Li Ji's eyelids trembled, and the whole person fell into extreme pain.

   No father can watch his children suffer this kind of catastrophe.

   His lips trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "I didn't know he was going to rebel, he just asked me if I had a die-hard loyalist in Yulinwei..."

   "I really don't know what he's going to do..."

   Ji Chong's eyes lit up, grabbed Li Ji's collar, and said coldly, "Who is he?"

  Li Ji trembled and looked up at Ji Zhong.

   "Your Highness, I tell him, can you spare my family?"

"cannot."

The third prince looked indifferent: "Your family is doomed, no one can save you, but as long as you tell the person who instructed you, this matter may be up to you, and it will not involve Zhao Junli. 's."

  Li Ji lowered his head in pain.

   There is no way, this matter is too big, it has pierced the sky, and it is impossible to calm down without the death of a large number of people.

   "I, I said..."

Abandoning the small family and protecting everyone is Li Ji's only way out now, otherwise this matter will inevitably be implicated in the Zhaojun Li family. In fact, if it is not because the Zhaojun Li family is too powerful, this big family It might have been raided by now.

   "Yes... Li Yan, Minister of Military Affairs, asked me for the names of Zhou Danian and others, but I really don't know what he used it for and what happened afterward..."

   I knew it would be the result now. At the beginning, Li Yan was talking about breaking the sky, and Li Ji could not cooperate with him.

   At this time, the former Yulin Yulang was full of remorse.

  “Li Yan…”

  The third prince sneered a few times, waved his hand and said, "Take Li Ji's family into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and wait for the decision, and the rest are with this king."

  The look of Zhao Wang's highness is indifferent.

   "Go to the Ministry of War!"

   Several prime ministers have made it clear that whoever is involved in this matter will be arrested, no matter what identity or background, it is always a background that is no bigger than the royal family.

  The third prince and a group of officials rushed from the Ministry of Punishment to the Ministry of War.

   After asking the officials of the Ministry of War, he learned that Li Yan, the right servant, had been sick in the past two days and did not come to work in the yamen of the Ministry of War. Ji Zhong looked cold and waved his hand.

   "Go to Pingnan Houfu."

Pingnanhou Mansion is located in Yonglefang, very close to the imperial city. After only half an hour, Ji Zhong arrived at the gate of Pingnanhou Mansion. At this time, there was nothing unusual in front of Pingnanhou Mansion. The two huge stone lions were still there. mighty.

   Ji waved his hand again: "Call the door."

  The retainer of Zhao Wangfu nodded, walked to the gate of Pingnanhoufu, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, please see Li Yan, Minister of War."

   After a while, Li Yan, the servant of the Ministry of War, who was in uniform, walked out of the Pingnanhou Mansion, accompanied by him, and the mistress of the Pingnanhou Mansion, Madam Yu.

   Madam Yu took a few steps forward, walked in front of the third prince, and said with some fear: "Your Highness, what happened, why is there such a big battle?"

The third prince bowed his head slightly to Madam Yu and said, "Mrs. Li, your father Huang Qiuhun was assassinated, and you know what you want to come here. I am authorized by the Shangshutai to investigate and handle the case with full authority. If the Son of Heaven is suspected, we will invite him back to the Ministry of Punishment for questioning."

  Mrs. Yu looked terrified and said, "Did Your Highness make a mistake, my second uncle has been loyal to Dajin for so many years, and he has also made a lot of credits in the battlefield. How could he murder the Son of Heaven?"

   Ji Chong looked back at Li Yan and said silently, "Then we have to ask Li Shilang himself."

In comparison, Li Yan was much calmer, he narrowed his eyes and said indifferently: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty was assassinated, I know that you are eager to make contributions, but as a minister of punishment, you must always pay attention to evidence. For the court's third-rank servant, even if he has committed a crime, he still needs documents from the three provinces and a hand letter from His Majesty, and the Ministry of Punishment or the Dali Temple has the right to take people, do you have any?"

   Facing Li Yan, the third prince can't be as unreasonable as facing Li Ji.

   This King Zhao was furious with his beard and beard, and shouted in a low voice: "My father is still lying in Changle Palace. Just because of being a son of a man, this king is qualified to take you!"

  Li Yan's face was still calm.

   "Your Highness wants to take me, where is the evidence?"

  Ji Zhong sneered: "Li Ji, the former general of Lin Weiyoulang, has already confessed to you, but you used Li Ji to threaten Zhou Danian and put those assassins in the paddock!"

   "This king has reason to suspect that those assassins are from Li Shilang!"

  Li Yan narrowed his eyes and gave the third prince a faint look.

   "Where's the evidence?"

   Ji Zhong angrily said: "Li Ji's confession is not evidence yet?"

The soldier of the Ministry of War, who had fought on the battlefield all his life, put his hands behind his back, and smiled lightly: "Let's not say whether your confession is useless, what can you say about Li Ji's one-sided words? He was because of some dirty things. He was imprisoned for the matter, he once asked for this official, but because of the law of the country, this official ignored him, and now after he was executed by you, he began to bite the official."

   Li Yan turned his head and looked at the third prince lightly.

"His Royal Highness Zhao, although you hold the post of Minister of Punishment, but your understanding of the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty is like a child's. You go to the Punishment and ask a document at random. If you ask him whether this is suitable or not. rule?"

   "Go and ask anyone in the Department of Punishment, is Li Ji's one-sided remarks enough to convict this officer?"

When Ji Zhong was told this by Li Yan, he was instantly furious, and he growled: "No matter how clever you are today, unless you Ping Nan Hou's mansion rebels today, you will enter the prison of the Ministry of Punishment no matter what. !"

   Li Yan still looked indifferent.

   "I have never rebelled against the Marquis of Nanping Mansion. Since Your Highness wants to make trouble unreasonably, this official will go with you."

  Li Yan glanced at the third prince indifferently, and said with a smile, "Is there any problem with this official and Mrs. Sister-in-law?"

   His Royal Highness King Zhao looked indifferent: "Please."

  Li Yan took Mrs. Yu aside and smiled slightly: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, I'll go to the Punishment Department with them, you are good to watch the house, don't go out these days, and don't ask anything about the capital."

   Mrs. Yu frowned and said worriedly: "Second Uncle... You won't have anything to do, right?"

"uncertain."

   Li Yan frowned, looked in the direction of the palace, and then slowly said, "If that Holy Son of Heaven is safe and sound, then I will most likely die."

   "If I can get out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment unharmed, it means that the Holy Son of Heaven is about to die."
