Then the scene that Li Xiang and the others had seen before quickly flashed before Ji Changsheng's eyes.

Ji Changsheng: "Meet the virtuous princess."

"Li Jianmei" frowned: "I prefer others to call me Miss Li, not the virtuous princess. Women in Ying State are not just vassals of men. The Emperor Ying said that men and women are equal. Master Ji, do you look down on women?"

This punch caught Ji Changsheng off guard in the eyes of outsiders, and Ji Lao Mo bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "I made a mistake, Miss Li, please forgive me."

"Li Jianmei" nodded with satisfaction: "It is a great virtue to correct one's mistakes. Young Master Ji knows how to respect women better than many stinky men in Ying State. Since Young Master Ji gives you face, I will also give you face. Please come in."

After a pause, Li Jianmei's next words shocked everyone: "Master Ji, in my capacity as the Consort of the virtuous prince, I report the virtuous prince for forming a clique for personal gain and plotting a rebellion."

The real-name report by "Li Jianmei" left everyone confused.

Ji Changsheng was not confused.

He could only sigh that he and his senior sister were indeed a match made in heaven.

This teamwork is unmatched.

Others simply can't stand it.

It was indeed unbearable. Li Xiang, an old fox who had fought in the officialdom, was stunned when he heard Li Changxi's words: "Jianmei, be careful with your words."

"Li Jianmei" said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, are you asking me to give false testimony in front of so many people to protect the virtuous king?"

"I……"

When Li Xiang was about to say something, he saw the people of Ying State around him and Ji Changsheng who was staring at him with a smile, and he swallowed the next words back.

"Grandpa certainly didn't mean that." Li Xiang explained, "Grandpa is just curious. You and the virtuous king have always been in love. What happened today? Did the virtuous king do something to you outside? Tell grandpa, and grandpa will definitely help you get justice."

He quickly made the most favorable choice to resolve the current awkward situation - to steer the matter towards a romantic topic.

As long as the people of Ying State thought that it was the Third Prince who was fooling around with other women and angered Princess Xian, the matter would not be a big deal.

For someone in the position of a royal heir, issues of private morality between men and women will never become a fatal problem.

He paved the way for Li Jianmei and also hinted that he would seek justice for Li Jianmei.

Unfortunately, the real Li Jianmei couldn’t hear it.

And Li Changxi would certainly ignore him.

Li Changxi said sternly, "Grandpa, I have been taught by the Li family since I was a child, and I grew up reading books of sages. The one I admire most is Emperor Ying. Who do you think I am? The issue of men and women is just a matter of personal morality. What I am reporting now is that there is something wrong with the virtuous king. Emperor Ying said that the descendants of the Ying family should take serving the people as their responsibility. However, the virtuous king regarded himself as a noble person, recruited his followers, abused his power for personal gain, and completely betrayed the ideals and beliefs when the Ying Kingdom was founded. For such an unfaithful and unfilial person, I, Li Jianmei, will never reconcile with him."

Li Xiang was dumbfounded.

He knows his granddaughter well.

No matter how you listen to it, these words don't sound like something my granddaughter would say.

But this person looks like his granddaughter no matter how he looks at her.

In the end what happened?

No one else knew what happened.

However, the people watching the fun around expressed their support for "Li Jianmei" with applause.

"well said."

"Miss Li is very righteous."

"We all support Miss Li."

"Li Jianmei" bowed to all four directions, with a righteous spirit, a woman who is no less than a man: "The virtuous king once said in private to many disciples of the aristocratic families that if he became the emperor, he would rule the world together with the literati, not with the people. With great achievements in the world, the world will naturally be peaceful. Li Jianmei is deeply ashamed of such a beast who defies human ethics. Yingguo will always be the Yingguo of the people of Yingguo. Whoever stands on the opposite side of the people of Yingguo is my, Li Jianmei's, sworn enemy!"

"it is good!"

The people of Ying State applauded loudly.

Li Xiang's eyes gradually lost focus.

Marshal Zhang and Yue Qingzhao looked at "Li Jianmei" with increasingly confused eyes.

Of course, they are not as familiar with Li Jianmei as Li Xiang, but can they say such things in public?

Marshal Zhang looked at Li Xiang suspiciously, not realizing that Li Xiang was acting.

He looked at Yue Qingzhao again and found that Yue Qingzhao was as shocked as he was.

So today's drama was neither arranged by the Li family nor by the Secret Law Pavilion.

Arranged by Ji Changsheng?

That’s not possible.

Ji Changsheng had just arrived in Ying State for an hour, and he had been working non-stop without any free time. It was also his first time in Prince Xian's Palace.

So what exactly is going on?

Marshal Zhang subconsciously touched his head, he couldn't figure it out.

At this time, no one thought about illusion. After all, Li Changxi was the shame of Xuandu, and Ji Changsheng was here for the first time. The people of Ying had no such knowledge at all.

Li Changxi and Ji Changsheng did not give them time to react.

Detective Ji spoke decisively: "Miss Li's report is of great importance to me. I also admire her for her sense of justice. However, as the young master of the Tiansheng Sect and the heir of Xuandu Temple, I will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will I let a bad person go. Miss Li, do you have any evidence to prove what you said?"

"Of course I won't speak nonsense."

Li Changxi waved her hand and took the lead: "Young Master Ji, please come in, and the elders and fellow villagers will come too. Today, I, Li Jianmei, will reveal the inside story of the Xianwang Mansion to everyone, so that the elders and fellow villagers can see the true face of the so-called Xianwang in private."

Ji Changsheng followed closely behind.

The three giants, Prime Minister Li, Marshal Zhang and Deputy Pavilion Master Yue, were still in a daze.

Seeing that they did not try to stop them, the people of Ying State simply followed them to watch the fun.

With Detective Ji around, we can’t be silenced by murder.

Their choice was right. Ji Changsheng would never let their safety be in jeopardy, and they did see a very wonderful performance from the Wise King.

In the Xianwang Mansion, there are indeed no mountains of spirit stones and beauties of various races like in the eldest prince's residence, but there are many water mirror videos.

Li Changxi explained: "These are all water mirror videos of the virtuous king using the convenience of his position and power or status to seek benefits for others and illegally accept money and property from others. Some of them were recorded by the virtuous king himself in order to blackmail others in the future. Some of them were recorded by me secretly because I had to get evidence to report the virtuous king. Otherwise, with the virtuous king's reputation in the court and the country of Ying, no one would believe me without evidence."

Li Xiang's expression changed again.

Although he had not watched the water mirror videos yet, he knew that they must be extremely powerful bombs that would surely blow up the Third Prince and many aristocratic families.

But before he could react, "Li Jianmei" suddenly frowned and said, "Grandpa, I know this is a serious matter, but I must make these water mirror videos public today, and you don't have to communicate with me anymore. Before the matter is investigated clearly, it is indeed not appropriate to release the case information to the public. I understand all this. But many people in the three judicial departments responsible for the case are colluding with the virtuous king. How can you let me trust them? Moreover, with so much evidence in hand, what else can't be investigated clearly? Grandpa, you are covering up for the virtuous king so much, do you have a private deal with the virtuous king?"

Swish!

Everyone looked at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang is already old and has experienced many hardships and trials, but he is still in a mess at this time.

"I didn't send a message... Never mind, Jianmei, as long as you are happy."

Li Xiang could only smile bitterly.

He knew he couldn't explain it clearly.

Fortunately, he is a smart man. With his status, he certainly cannot get too close to the prince of the current dynasty, so there is no evidence against him in these water mirror videos.

As for what happened to this granddaughter Li Jianmei... Prime Minister Li is now inclined to believe that the third prince might have done something wrong to Li Jianmei outside, which is why the family is in turmoil and he was reported by his wife.

This kind of thing is very common in Ying State.

However, Li Xiang never thought that such a thing would happen to the daughter of their Li family.

The die is cast, and there is nothing he can do but clear himself of the blame and wait and see what happens.

Now that Prime Minister Li has shut up, Marshal Zhang and Yue Qingzhao will certainly not feel uncomfortable.

But after just a moment, Marshal Zhang began to feel uncomfortable.

"Li Jianmei" opened the first water mirror video.

In the video, the third prince and Zhang Pengning, the only son of the third branch of the Zhang family, were drinking and chatting with each other. Beside them was a person Marshal Zhang was very familiar with - Hong Keyong, the Minister of Rites.

The content of their conversation made Marshal Zhang feel cold inside.

"Pengning, this is the test paper for this year's science exam."

The third prince handed Zhang Pengning a file.

"This is this year's chief examiner, Minister Hong, who will also be your tutor in the future. This test paper was given to you by Minister Hong. Remember to thank Mr. Hong in the future."

"With Minister Hong here, your ranking could have been arranged directly. But if you were chosen as the top scholar, there would definitely be people who would not accept it. And according to convention, the emperor would personally look at the top scholar's paper, so you need to hand in a perfect answer sheet."

Zhang Pengning took the test paper given to him by the Third Prince with a smile, and then raised his glass: "Your Highness, Minister Hong, I will not say much about my gratitude, it is all in the wine, I will drink first as a token of my respect."

Zhang Pengning toasted the Third Prince with three cups of wine and Minister Hong with two cups, before being interrupted by Minister Hong with a smile: "That's enough. I've heard of Pengning's talent. Even without my care, Pengning would have the talent to be the top scholar. I'm just being safe. We are all selecting talented people for the country, so you don't have to be polite, Pengning."

Zhang Pengning said respectfully, "I know the kindness of Minister Hong in helping me. After the court is dismissed tomorrow, I will host a meal for Minister Hong and invite my father to the Zhang family for a simple meal."

Minister Hong's face lit up, but he still said cautiously: "Forget it, the big exam is coming soon, it's not convenient for me to go to the Zhang family."

"Then come to my mansion." The third prince decided, "We are all friends. No one will blame us if we keep in touch. Besides, my mansion is very clean. The people that the Secret Law Pavilion has planted in my mansion are already our own people. There is no need to worry."

"Thank you, Your Highness x2."

……

Li Changxi turned off the water mirror video and said to Marshal Zhang: "Marshal Zhang, does that young man look familiar to you?"

Marshal Zhang looked at Li Changxi deeply, then turned around and ordered: "Send someone to arrest Zhang Pengning and send him to the Ministry of Justice immediately."

"Yes."

"Wait a minute."

Ji Changsheng stopped the servant of the Zhang family and smiled at Marshal Zhang: "Don't bother two masters with one thing. Bring Zhang Pengning to the Xianwang Mansion. Maybe he can confront the Xianwang face to face later."

Marshal Zhang’s hands trembled.

Judging from the fact that Ji Changsheng killed the eldest prince without hesitation just now, Ji Changsheng really dares to kill.

Letting Zhang Pengning come to Prince Xian's Mansion is basically sending Zhang Pengning to the underworld.

This is his grandson.

Ji Changsheng is forcing him to see his son off before him.

But he took a deep breath and ordered: "Follow what Master Ji said."

Ji Changsheng smiled and said, "Call Zhang Pengning's father as well. After all, his father's story is also involved here."

This time, Marshal Zhang's hands were not the only ones shaking.

My face was twitching.

There was a hint of pleading in his eyes as he looked at Ji Changsheng.

Ji Changsheng didn't say anything, but Li Changxi spoke up: "It's not just the third branch of the Zhang family. Master Ji, send someone to bring Minister Hong from the Ministry of Rites here. The National Talent Selection Ceremony is the fairest way for the people of Ying to compete with those disciples of aristocratic families, but it has become a transaction in front of them. Such behavior is outrageous to both humans and gods."

"Madam Li is right. Chief Steward Mao, within a quarter of an hour, you must bring Minister Hong here. If there is resistance, I will allow you to execute him first and report to me later."

Ji Changsheng's face still had a compassionate smile as always.

Mao Yi bowed and accepted the order.

Marshal Zhang closed his eyes, and he seemed to have aged ten years: "Bring Lao San and Zhang Pengning here together and wait for Young Master Ji to judge."

He admitted it.

It certainly wasn't a pleasant feeling to send your son and grandson to the guillotine.

But the Zhang family is a large family with hundreds of people.

Ji Changsheng is the young master of the Demonic Cult, holding the jade sword of Fairy Linglong in his hand.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Li Changxi played the second water mirror video.

This time, the one whose eyelids twitched turned out to be Yue Qingzhao.

There are still three people in the video.

Sitting in the main seat was the third prince.

On the left hand side was a woman in her thirties. Ji Changsheng did not recognize her, but he heard the people around him whispering:

"The head of the Secret Law Pavilion loves his daughter Shang Zhengjia."
