Transcendent Ember

Chapter 358 You will surely die
"Your Excellency, this Jiang Heng has gone too far. He took Jiang Yi away without interrogation, and even hooked up with this Zhang Jichuan. I implore Your Excellency the Duke to order severe punishment."

"Yeah, Jiang Heng is so arrogant, if he doesn't punish him severely, it's not enough to face the world."

"Your Excellency the Duke, please give an order."

……

The nobles were furious, and some even shouted that they would stop supporting Li Luo if Jiang Heng was not severely punished, which changed the color of Feng Wennuo's ancient capital.

"Brother Li..." He tentatively transmitted voice to Li Luo.

But Li Luo looked at Zhang Jichuan on the interrogation chair as if he didn't hear him: "You can continue."

Li Luo's reaction was not quite right... No matter how slow Zhang Jichuan was, he could detect Li Luo's abnormality, which made him feel a little uneasy.

But the matter has come to this point, so we can only bite the bullet and go on. Now Su Ya and Mu Xiaotian have been pardoned, Jiang Yi has also been rescued by Jiang Heng, leaving only Deng Hui, Fei Yi and Zhang Jichuan himself.

There are still three amnesty quotas... Zhang Jichuan collected his thoughts and was about to speak.

But his words were interrupted again.

A picket ran in: "Your Excellency, someone is asking to see you outside."

"You bastard." Before Li Luo could respond, the irritated Feng Wen Nuogu scolded, "I don't even look at what time it is, no matter who it is, they're all gone."

"But..." the picket shrank his neck, and said with a guilty conscience, "That man claims to be the Marquis of our country."

Marquis?

These two words stunned the nobles in the interrogation room.

Marquis is already a very, very high title.

As Minister of Agriculture, Jiang Heng is no more than a mere earl.

The red-faced old nobleman patted the table: "You bastard, the only Marquis in Gu Yue Kingdom is here, how could there be other Marquis?"

"Crazy, must be crazy, someone dares to pretend to be a nobleman."

"There's no reason for this, it really doesn't make sense."

"First someone attacked and killed nobles, and then someone pretended to be nobles... This unhealthy trend must be stopped, otherwise anyone will be able to jump on our nobles' heads and play wild in the future!"

……

Phew, the rescuers finally came... Zhang Jichuan on the interrogation chair let out a long sigh of relief.

Witnessing this scene, Li Luo frowned, feeling a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and at the same time, an undetectable anger.

He slapped the table, silenced the interrogation room, and said to the picket without any emotion: "Let him in."

"Yes!"

The picket exited the interrogation room, and half a minute later, an old man with white beard and hair came in, and he smiled when he saw everyone: "Oh, it's really a grand event for all of you to gather together."

Most of the nobles are inexplicable:

"Who is this? He has a good bearing, a bit of an aristocrat..."

"I don't know, I haven't seen it before."

"Among all the nobles in Gu Yue Kingdom, I have never heard of such a person."

"So he's pretending to be an aristocrat?"

"Your Excellency, please give an order to arrest this person."

"Yeah yeah……"

……

However, Li Luo, Feng Wennuogu, the red-faced old nobleman and other high-ranking and experienced nobles were a little stunned when they saw the old man, and some even couldn't sit still.

"Baishu!" Feng Wennuogu's pupils shrank, revealing the identity of the old man.

That's right, it is the world's number one investor, Bai Shu.

He once invested in Lear, and finally got a huge return. With a fifth-rank extraordinary body, he has a lifespan that exceeds the limit of a third-rank extraordinary creature.

The founding emperor of the Xinhua Dynasty also accepted his investment, and the final reward was that he became the Duke of the Xinhua Dynasty who retired with the country.

"It turned out to be him..." the red-faced old noble murmured, some of his dusty memories came to his mind, and he remembered many past events.

About 200 years ago, when an unpopular prince of Gu Yue Kingdom was in the abyss, he also got investment from this old man, and finally climbed to the throne after going through all kinds of dangers.

Therefore, this old man with meritorious support was named the Marquis of Gu Yue Kingdom.

It's just that this old man has many identities and many titles in various countries. To him, a Marquis is nothing at all...

Therefore, this old man seldom interacted with the nobles of Gu Yue Kingdom, so that after 200 years, few people remembered that there was such a Marquis in Gu Yue Kingdom.

……

After the red-faced old noble told the ancient history, the nobles in the interrogation room were stunned for a moment.

Li Luo stared at the old man and said, "Your Excellency Bai Shu, what are you doing here?"

"Hehe..." Bai Shu smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, this teacher Zhang Jichuan is my investment target..."

"what?"

All of a sudden, the faces of the nobles changed. Such a veteran noble came to intercede with Zhang Jichuan.

"Your Excellency Baishu, right? Please think twice, this Zhang Jichuan is the culprit who attacked and killed the nobles. He is the enemy of all our nobles."

"That's right, Your Excellency Bai Shu, you have so many investment targets, so this one is not bad, right? I hope you don't embarrass me."

"I hope Your Excellency Bai Shu will speak from the correct position."

……

The nobles spoke one after another, while Feng Wennuogu and Li Luo became very serious.

They are well aware of how vicious this old man's investment vision is, and all the people invested by him have become the pride of an era.

Baishu actually invested in Zhang Jichuan... Feng Wennuogu glanced at Zhang Jichuan in surprise, and found that the other person's expression was normal, but there was a hint of joy deep in his eyes.

This Zhang Jichuan can't stay... A killing intent flashed in Li Luo's heart. Someone who can get Baishu's investment and is an enemy must not stay.

Feng Wen Nuogu also thought the same way. He looked at the old man and said, "Your Excellency Bai Shu, Zhang Jichuan is a criminal. He will be judged by the law. Please change your investment target."

"Is that so..." Bai Shu heard the words, looked at Li Luo and asked, "Your Excellency, are you wanting me, a dying old man, to lose everything?"

Li Luo calmly said: "The law is ruthless."

"Your Excellency is right."

"We must not let Zhang Jichuan go."

"Your Excellency Bai Shu, please come back."

……

Amidst the noisy voices of the nobles, Bai Shu nodded: "So that's the case, huh..."

He suddenly laughed, looked at Li Luo and said, "Your Excellency, I remember that the laws of Gu Yue Kingdom stated that noble titles are extremely rare and can be exchanged for everything without affecting the stability of the country. But really ?”

Li Luo's eyes shook, and he looked at the old man in disbelief.

"Tsk tsk..." Liu Yiyi poked Director Darcy with her hand, and said in a low voice, "This old man is so willing to spend his money?"

Director Darcy was surprised: "I never thought that Mr. Zhang Jichuan would be his investment target."

Liu Yiyi asked in a gossip tone: "I heard he wanted to invest in you back then?"

Director Darcy didn't deny it, which made Liu Yiyi feel bored.

At this time, Bai Shu had already expressed the possibility that Li Luo did not want to accept the most: "Your Excellency, the old man is willing to exchange his title of marquis for a chance of amnesty."

"This..." The red-faced old noble was so shocked that he lost his composure. He was also a marquis, and he was the most affected.

"Is he crazy?" The three views of that female nobleman were subverted. She never thought that someone would give up the title of marquis just to save an irrelevant person.

"You don't understand..." Someone said with an ugly face, "This Baishu almost has a title in the other four countries, and a marquis title, he... doesn't care about it."

"He doesn't take it seriously, but we have to take it to heart. We still have to follow the rules." Another elderly Marquis shook his head and said, "Otherwise, our country's aristocratic system will face collapse..."

……

Li Luo lost his composure for a moment, but then he stabilized his mind and looked at Bai Shu with a compelling gaze: "Your Excellency, are you serious?"

"Extremely serious." Bai Shu looked at Li Luo with a smile, "Your Excellency, will you not agree?"

"Hmph!" Li Luo rarely showed emotion, and snorted coldly, "As you wish...but only one person."

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Duke." Bai Shu cupped his hands, "You can send someone to take over the old man's fief at any time."

After speaking, Bai Shu turned to look at Zhang Jichuan.

"Thank you Senior Baishu." Zhang Jichuan nodded gratefully to the old man (hands were handcuffed). Before attacking the Wu family's ancient house, he had visited the old man and explained his plan to the other party, hoping that the old man could help him deal with the aftermath.

After thinking about it, the old man decided to invest more...

Zhang Jichuan looked at the old man: "However, I want to transfer this opportunity of amnesty to my student Deng Hui."

Bai Shu had expected it a long time ago, and was not surprised: "Yes, as long as Mr. Zhang Jichuan, you don't let my investment go down the drain."

Zhang Jichuan looked solemn: "I will do my best."

Bai Shu stopped talking, greeted everyone, and left the interrogation room.

Zhang Jichuan looked at Lohbar: "The Chief, please release Deng Hui's handcuffs."

Li Luo took the initiative to speak and said: "Lodbar, as he wishes."

Rhodebar was a little surprised, but it is always a good thing to be able to pardon one more person, so he quickly helped Deng Hui uncuff him.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Deng Hui whispered.

Zhang Jichuan: "You're welcome, the teacher should do it."

"Hey..." Fay laughed and pointed his head forward, "Mr. Zhang, I'm the next one, right?"

Zhang Jichuan nodded: "Of course."

The confident and affirmative answer made the surrounding nobles furious.

"If the amnesty continues, Earl Wu Meng will die in vain."

"That's right, Your Excellency the Duke, no matter what your plan is, you can't go on amnesty any longer."

"There must be an explanation for Earl Wu Meng's death."

"Yup……"

……

Zhang Jichuan ignored these voices, and said to Li Luo with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Excellency, I still have one last major contribution. This time, I want two amnesties."

"Impossible." Li Luo spoke, with murderous intent in his voice, "Zhang Jichuan, do you know why I agreed to pardon your students?"

Without waiting for Zhang Jichuan's answer, Li Luo continued, "When a nobleman is killed, there must be an explanation... No matter how much credit you have, pardoning so many of your students is the greatest forgiveness that the law can give.

"But Zhang Jichuan, you are sure to die!"

Li Luo said the last sentence very firmly.
