The Abandoned Woman of Space

Chapter 1168 Force Ji Quan to Death (9)
"My lord, Ji Quan committed suicide in the prison." Wu Xie glanced at Yan Li and said respectfully.

Yan Li listened, her eyes were a little dim, and after a while, she said quietly: "It's a pity."

Unexpectedly, Ji Quan chose to commit suicide in order to preserve the strength of the Ji family. This was somewhat beyond his expectation, and he was too negligent.

"During this time, send someone to keep an eye on Ji Hong."

Ji Quan is dead, if not as he expected, Ji Hong should make some moves.

"Yes." Nodded innocently and respectfully.

……

Ji Quan committed suicide in the sky jail, and eight officials who were involved with Ji Quan in embezzling taxes were executed. The House of Minister of the Household Department and the mansions of the eight officials of the Household Department were ransacked. Only then did the anger of the people rest, and the city of Biandu was able to restore its former stability.

Half a month later, Ji Hong recovered from his injuries, entered the palace, and resigned from the young emperor Yan Ke, asking to return to his place of garrison, Jian'an City.

In the imperial study room, Ji Hong hid the anger in his heart very well. He bowed to Yan Ke as if nothing happened, and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister's injury has recovered, and there are many affairs in Jian'an City. Veteran return to Jian'an City as soon as possible to preside over the affairs."

Yan Ke sat on the dragon chair, his eyes locked on Ji Hong's body.

In fact, the little emperor felt a little regretful about this incident. If the Ji family was not a relative of the emperor, the heinous crime committed by Ji Quan would be enough to implicate Ji Hong. What a pity, what a pity...

"Ji Aiqing, have you recovered from your injury? That's great, congratulations." Yan Ke stared at Ji Hong for a few moments, then played Tai Chi with him while laughing.

"Please allow the old minister to return to Jian'an City to preside over the affairs." Ji Hong thumped and knelt on the ground. Hearing Yan Ke's laughter, he was as angry as a cat scratching. Thinking of Ji Quan and Ji Yao's death, He wished he could tear Yan Ke into pieces.

"Ji Aiqing, don't worry, I will not stop you if you want to return to Jian'an City." Yan Ke said calmly.

He knew very well what this old man was doing when he returned to Jian'an City, he just wanted to set up troops to rebel.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your success." Ji Hong said, hiding his anger, and looked up at Yan Ke.

"Xiao Mingzi, go and get my Azure Dragon Sword and give it to the mighty general." Yan Ke glanced at Xiao Mingzi beside him.

The Qinglong Sword is Yan Ke's portable sword, and it ranks tenth on the weapon list. Xiao Mingzi was taken aback for a moment, and then went to fetch it.

Seeing Xiao Mingzi holding the Qinglong Sword in front of Ji Hong, Yan Ke said: "Ji Aiqing, I will give you my sword. In the future, I will protect Dayan's country with Aiqing."

Ji Hong was obviously stunned for a moment, not understanding why Yan Ke wanted to do this. However, he knew the power of the Azure Dragon Sword. Obtaining it was equivalent to ten years more skill, which made martial arts practitioners flock to it irresistibly. There was no delay.

"My humble minister thanks the emperor for his gift."

After Ji Hong left, Xiao Mingzi looked at Yan Ke with a puzzled expression, thought it over, and asked, "Your Majesty, you know that the mighty general has the intention of disobedience, why..."

"Why did you still give him the Qinglong Sword?" Yan Ke smiled deeply, "Giving him the Qinglong Sword is equivalent to announcing to the world that I have favored him. In the future, if Ji Hong revolts, I will have There are even more reasons to crusade against him."

Xiao Mingzi was surprised when he heard this, "The emperor is wise."

The little emperor he had served for many years had finally grown up and looked like an emperor...
