The content of the water mirror video quickly told the world the truth.

Li Kangjian offered a cup of spiritual tea and asked with a smile, "Boss Tan, I heard that the Tan family discovered a spiritual mine in the west?"

Tan Qiurong didn't drink tea.

She knew that once she drank the tea, what she would spit out would most likely be a spiritual ore.

Tan Qiurong just said coldly: "Our Tan family heard that a Mahayana cultivator had died in that area, so we sent people to search the area for more than a year and finally found traces of the spiritual mine."

Spiritual stones are a renewable resource in this world, but their consumption is also huge.

Cultivators need high-quality and top-quality spirit stones for their cultivation, but there is a high probability that spirit mines will form in the area where the great cultivator dies.

Unearthing a spiritual mine is equivalent to becoming a billionaire instantly - provided that you can keep it.

Li Kangjian said to Tan Qiurong seriously: "Boss Tan, you don't know that the fallen Mahayana cultivator was a member of our Li family."

Tan Qiurong was so angry that she laughed: "There are not many Mahayana cultivators in the Li family. You can count them on your fingers. Each one has a traceable history. Boss Li, the Li family should not be so greedy."

After hearing Tan Qiurong's tone, Li Kangjian stopped talking.

At this time, the third prince picked up the teacup and placed it in front of Tan Qiurong.

"Talk about the boss and drink tea."

Tan Qiurong's face turned very ugly, and she reminded him, "Xian Wang, you never interfere in business competition. Are you going to help Boss Li to seize the business by trickery?"

The Third Prince chuckled and said, "Boss Tan, what are you talking about? Of course, I will not help my father-in-law to seize power by trickery."

Tan Qiurong's expression did not slow down, and she continued to ask in a deep voice: "What does the wise king mean?"

The Third Prince said softly, "I want to tell Boss Tan that there is a problem with the Tan family's business in the west. Some of the procedures are incomplete, so we cannot apply for a mining license."

If you cannot obtain a mining license, you will not be able to mine the discovered spiritual stone mine.

Tan Qiurong's face was as gloomy as water: "Wise King, our Tan family will not allow others to bully us in Ying State."

The third prince chuckled and said, "Of course, the head of the Tan family is the second richest man in Ying State, and he is also well-known among my father. But there is a saying, I wonder if Boss Tan has heard it?"

"What?"

"Scholars! Farmers! Workers! Merchants!"

There was silence for half a minute.

Tan Qiurong picked up the tea offered by the third prince.

The third prince smiled and clinked glasses with Tan Qiurong.

"Don't worry, Boss Tan. As long as the Tan family operates legally in Ying Country, I will take care of it. There is no need to tell outsiders about what happened today. Otherwise, I will be very unhappy."

Tan Qiurong drank the tea given by the third prince and left the scene with a grim face.

The third prince and Li Kangjian were left to continue talking.

"Father-in-law, if you swallow this spiritual stone mine and ask grandfather to operate it, you should be able to become the number one in the spiritual mine of Ying State. Spiritual mines are strategic resources, father-in-law must grasp this position well."

"Don't worry, my lord. I know the importance of this matter."

……

The third prince was trembling all over.

"Jianmei, you...why are you doing this? That's your father."

"Li Jianmei" said sternly, "I will put justice above family ties and draw a clear line between myself and national parasites like you and my father. I, Li Jianmei, have always acted uprightly. I cannot follow the corrupt path just because my husband is not virtuous and my father is not upright."

"Miss Li said it well."

Ji Qingtian clapped his hands in praise.

Then, together with Li Changxi, he understood why Li Jianmei was so devoted to the third prince.

This is no longer just a relationship between husband and wife.

This is a true community of interests.

Looking at Li Xiang’s current expression, you can tell how serious this matter is.

"Li Xiang, I guess you definitely don't know about this."

Ji Changsheng first paved the way for Li Xiang.

Li Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know."

"But Li Kangjian must know about it. Do you want to call Li Kangjian here, or do I send someone to call him here? Or do you send someone to send him away, and then I will execute him in the name of absconding from the crime?"

At the end, Ji Changsheng's tone contained a hint of anticipation.

Li Xiang smiled bitterly and bowed: "I will make sure Li Kangjian appears in the Xianwang Mansion within a quarter of an hour."

According to the laws of the Ying Kingdom, the actions of Li Kangjian and the third prince are just economic crimes, which is actually not a big problem.

As long as the Li family can make some arrangements, the sentence can be suspended for a few years.

If we can get a diagnosis certificate from a medical clinic to confirm that Li Kangjian has mental problems, he won’t have to go to jail.

But if Li Kangjian ran away, Li Xiang was 100% sure that Ji Changsheng would kill someone right after that.

So he hopes that his son will receive the fairest trial.

At this time, Zhang Pengning, his father, and Minister Hong of the Ministry of Rites were all taken to Prince Xian's Palace.

The third prince had a good memory. As soon as he saw these three people appear, he knew that there must be cheating in the imperial examination, and his face became increasingly unsightly.

It was obvious that Zhang Pengning and his father had been seriously educated on the way here, so after arriving at Prince Xian's Mansion, they immediately knelt in front of Ji Changsheng.

"I did cheat in the imperial examination, and I am willing to accept the court's trial."

"I and the virtuous king have indeed transferred interests, and I am willing to turn myself in and accept investigation."

Minister Hong has not been educated, but he is a smart man.

Seeing Zhang Pengning and his father, two members of the Zhang family, kneel down so quickly, he also knelt down on the ground instantly.

"Master Ji, I was indeed lax in the examination, but I was instructed by the wise king. I am willing to take the blame and become a tainted witness."

Ji Changsheng: "..."

The third prince: "..."

Both of them were a little angry.

Ji Changsheng was angry because according to the laws of the Ying State, these guys were not guilty of crimes punishable by death.

The third prince was angry because these guys dared to turn the tables on him.

At this time, the sound transmission note on Yue Qingzhao's body flashed again, and then she nodded to Ji Changsheng: "Young Master Ji, the Secret Law Pavilion in Yuncheng has taken action and has captured Sha Lei, but Shang Zhengjia is still in the Pavilion Master's house, so Young Master Ji may need to do it himself."

She was the deputy leader of the Secret Law Pavilion, and it would have a bad impact if she attacked the leader's own daughter.

It would be fine if she could take advantage of this opportunity to nail the Pavilion Master to death, but if she fails to nail him to death, she will be in big trouble in the future.

So Yue Qingzhao didn't dare to gamble.

When the third prince heard the names "Sha Lei" and "Shang Zhengjia", his heart sank again.

But he held on to one last hope.

"Master Ji, there may be some misunderstandings between you and me." The third prince struggled desperately: "Although the water mirror video is difficult to fake, it is not absolutely foolproof. I suspect that the person in the water mirror video is a demon from the demon sect, deliberately framing me."

The real demon from the Demon Cult, Old Demon Ji, was furious: "Deputy Pavilion Master Yue, the Secret Law Pavilion should be professional in this area, but can you see that the Water Mirror video has traces of fraud?"

Yue Qingzhao didn't hesitate and shook his head.

There was no shortage of discerning people in the Ying Kingdom, so there was no point in her denying it. Besides, it had nothing to do with her, and no one had informed her in advance. Of course, she was too lazy to cover up for the Third Prince.

It has to be said that Ji Changsheng caught everyone off guard, leaving those who committed crimes with no time to react, let alone take remedial measures.

Ji Changsheng continued to ask: "From Deputy Pavilion Master Yue's professional perspective, is the Third Prince in the water mirror video the real person?"

Yue Qingzhao still did not hesitate: "Of course it is me. Even if I admit my mistake, Li Kangjian, Zhang Pengning, and Shang Zhengjia will not admit their mistakes."

When Ji Changsheng looked at the Third Prince again, his eyes were filled with obvious murderous intent.

"You bastard, you can come up with an excuse now." Ji Changsheng said coldly, "Keep making it up. Let this detective see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

The third prince: "..."

Before he could find a new excuse, Li Kangjian was brought to the scene by Li Xiang's men.

It has to be said that a big boss is a big boss. He has the support of everyone in the Ying Kingdom court and he also has the final say within the family.

After Zhang Pengning and his father arrived at Prince Xian's Mansion, they knelt directly at Ji Changsheng's feet.

After Li Kangjian arrived at Prince Xian's mansion, he also knelt down and admitted his mistake promptly.

"Master Ji, I did collude with the virtuous king for money, and seizing the spirit stone mine from Tan Qiurong was just one of them. With the help of the virtuous king, I eventually received seven other connections of interest. I am willing to confess all of them and make amends for my crime."

Ji Changsheng narrowed his eyes.

The third prince also reacted suddenly.

From the Zhang family to the Li family, they all gave in when facing Ji Changsheng.

The eldest prince...seems to have been killed by Ji Changsheng.

Ji Changsheng was holding the Linglong Immortal Sword in his hand and was also the young master of the Demonic Sect. If he continued to quibble, he might soon follow in his elder brother's footsteps.

To admit cowardly.

However, once he admitted to the matter, his reputation as a wise king would be completely ruined, and the possibility of his succession to the throne would be reduced to the lowest.

But what we should consider more now is life and death.

The Third Prince was a decisive person. Although he was very sad, he made a quick decision: "Master Ji, I am also willing to plead guilty."

"Confess?"

"Yes, it is just as Madam said. I have lost the ideals and beliefs that Yingguo has always held, betrayed my original mission, and done many wrong things. This king has deeply realized his mistakes and is willing to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence and take the initiative to confess his crimes."

Ji Changsheng and Li Changxi looked at each other.

Ji Changsheng realized the Third Prince's intention and sneered, "Appointment for meritorious service? You should be sentenced to death."

He could give in to other matters, but on this matter, the Third Prince could not retreat even a step. He said loudly, "Master Ji, I am guilty and willing to accept all investigations by the court, but my crime does not deserve death. According to the laws of the Kingdom of Ying, I will be sentenced to as many years as I should be sentenced to, and I will never cry out for injustice. But Master Ji took the initiative to use private punishment, and the people of the Kingdom of Ying will never let Master Ji do whatever he wants."

Ji Changsheng said coldly: "The crime is not punishable by death? Are you sure?"

"I am sure."

"Then keep reading."

In front of the people of Ying State, Ji Changsheng opened all the water mirror videos played in Prince Xian's mansion.

The crimes captured in the video are too numerous to list.

These are all solid evidence that the Third Prince formed a clique for personal gain and abused his power.

But half an hour later, Ji Changsheng's face turned dark.

Li Changxi's expression turned ugly, and she cursed directly: "This bastard is really smart. He never says anything final. He always gives ambiguous hints. It's not easy to convict him."

The Third Prince admitted it so readily, and he was sure of this point.

"Young Master Ji, please be wise. I have made a mistake and I am willing to accept the court's trial." After watching his own water mirror video, the third prince breathed a sigh of relief.

It was worth it for him to be so cautious over the years.

Ji Changsheng and Li Changxi looked at each other.

Judging from the water mirror video, the third prince’s crime does not deserve the death penalty.

No records of any collusion with the League of Assassins were found either.

Ying State is a country that values ​​evidence.

Then you can only create evidence yourself.

"Li Jianmei" stood up again: "Master Ji, I report that the virtuous prince has secretly hidden the jade seal and is plotting a rebellion. The jade seal is hidden under the second tree in the backyard of the virtuous prince's mansion."

A minute later, Ji Changsheng got the jade seal.

Ji Qingtian was furious and took action directly: "The traitors who plotted rebellion shall be killed by everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Qingtian swung his knife fiercely.

He wasted an hour of his time and didn't find any evidence that could really kill the third prince. The laws of the Ying Kingdom were too imperfect.
