Old Demon Ji was very angry and the consequences were serious.
Therefore, the third prince decisively died with his head chopped off, and he died with his eyes open.
The golden lotus of merit bloomed above Ji Changsheng's head.
The corners of Li Xiang and Marshal Zhang's eyes twitched violently, and they seemed to want to say something but stopped themselves.
This jade seal...is from the State of Qi.
Chapter 195 Do you know the truth about the assassination of Ying III? Detective Ji: Shut up, I don’t want to hear it
The jade seals of every country are different - some people understand this, but Ji Changsheng has not studied it, and neither has Li Changxi.
Coincidentally, the last human dynasty that Ji Changsheng and Li Changxi visited was Qi, and they had seen the jade seal of Qi.
Therefore, the jade seal privately kept in the third prince's mansion became the Qi State's seal.
The work was done very roughly and could not be hidden from anyone with a discerning eye.
But Zhang Bei was not there.
Li Xiang, Marshal Zhang, and Yue Qingzhao, who were the first to react, were all truly smart people who knew when to play dumb.
Even though they wanted to complain in their hearts, their mouths were as tight as if they were made of iron.
There are still idiots though.
The head of the Third Prince fell right in front of Zhang Pengning who was kneeling on the ground. Zhang Pengning looked at the Third Prince who died with his eyes wide open, and was almost scared to death. He then saw the "Jade Seal" in Ji Changsheng's hand and blurted out, "This is not the Jade Seal of our Ying State, this is the Jade Seal of Qi State."
Ji Changsheng: "..."
Li Changxi: "..."
Marshal Zhang’s eyes went dark.
grass.
We have to call Pengju over quickly.
Otherwise, the Zhang family will sooner or later perish at the hands of useless descendants like Zhang Bei and Zhang Pengning.
Marshal Zhang kicked Zhang Pengning away, with big drops of cold sweat on his forehead. He quickly said, "You are ignorant, and I am sorry to make you laugh, Young Master Ji."
You're the only one with a big mouth.
Who can’t see that this is the jade seal of Qi?
Marshal Zhang was very angry.
If that wasn't his grandson, he would have kicked Zhang Pengning to death with that kick just now.
Even now, he was kicked half to death.
Li Changxi was also a little embarrassed, and sent a message to Ji Changsheng: "Junior brother, this can't be blamed on me. I haven't seen the jade seal of the Ying Kingdom either."
"fine."
Ji Changsheng calmly comforted Li Changxi, then said to Marshal Zhang: "It's okay, I have never seen what the imperial seal of the Ying Kingdom looks like. According to what Master Ling said, did I kill the wrong Third Prince?"
Marshal Zhang was already old, but after hearing Ji Changsheng's words, his legs still felt a little weak for a moment.
Although he had been a ruthless killer all his life, this was the first time in his life that he had seen someone like Ji Lao Mo who dared to kill the prince of Ying Kingdom so decisively.
You have to be afraid.
"How could Master Ji be wrong?"
Marshal Zhang took the initiative to take the blame and went all out.
The consequences of offending the Third Prince were acceptable, since he was already dead. But if he offended Old Demon Ji, he might become dead soon.
So Marshal Zhang chose to help Ji Lao Mo clean up his name: "The Third Prince secretly kept the Qi State's jade seal. It seems that he has a connection with Qi State. Is the Emperor of Qi State... a puppet supported by Huangquan Sect?"
Ji Changsheng nodded.
Marshal Zhang said decisively: "That's right, Young Master Ji is very observant. The Third Prince may have been bewitched by the Huangquan Sect, so he made all kinds of mistakes."
"Is that right?"
"definitely is."
Marshal Zhang's words were decisive.
But Ji Qingtian was still not completely sure.
"Marshal Zhang, I have just arrived in your precious land and I am not very familiar with the laws of the Ying Kingdom. I killed someone on the spot, and the person I killed was a prince. Did I violate the laws of the Ying Kingdom?" Ji Qingtian asked.
Marshal Zhang gave a definite answer: "Murder is of course a serious crime, but it involves treason. As Young Master Ji said, anyone can kill him. The laws of Ying State are strict, but they will never show leniency to traitors. Young Master Ji killed the demons and eliminated the monsters, not only did he not do anything wrong, but he actually did something meritorious."
"That's good."
Ji Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief.
"With Marshal Zhang's endorsement, I feel relieved."
Marshal Zhang: “…”
Marshal Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his head, and before he could even rejoice, he heard Ji Changsheng pointing his finger at his grandson.
"So what is Zhang Pengning's plan? Is he speaking up for the demon cult monster?"
Marshal Zhang broke out in a cold sweat again.
He tried very hard to choose his words: "Master Ji, Zhang Pengning and the demon from the Demon Cult are together, there must be a serious problem. I suggest that the three judicial departments be investigated and severely punished. I hereby assure the people of Yingguo that I will never bend the law for personal gain."
Ji Changsheng said with relief: "Of course I believe Marshal Zhang, but judging from the water mirror videos found in the Third Prince's residence, there are indeed many people with problems in the Third Law Department. I don't trust them. What can they find out when their own people investigate their own people?"
Marshal Zhang’s face turned pale.
He heard the murderous intent in Ji Changsheng's words.
At this moment, Li Xiang spoke up decisively and helped his political enemy who had been fighting with him for half his life, demonstrating his skillful tactics in ruling the court of Ying State for decades.
"Let Princess Hongye check it out." Li Xiang offered his suggestion.
Ji Changsheng raised his eyebrows.
Li Xiang said in a deep voice: "Master Ji, judging from the evidence we found today, the Three Law Departments are indeed no longer trustworthy. There are also many problems in the Secret Law Pavilion. However, Princess Hongye studied in Xuandu Temple and Danqing Pavilion before, so she can definitely be trusted. Master Ji, given your relationship with Princess Hongye, I think you must believe that Princess Hongye will not bend the law for personal gain. Let Princess Hongye be responsible for investigating them and deal with them strictly in accordance with the laws of Ying State, and everyone in Ying State will be convinced."
The most important thing is that for the sake of Ying Hongye, Ji Changsheng couldn't go on a killing spree anymore.
It can also allow Ying Hongye to eliminate dissidents and establish his own forces.
Li Xiang’s move was indeed brilliant.
As for Ji Changsheng, the people of Ying State really had no way to help him, even if they had the strength.
But on Ying Hongye's side, both he and Marshal Zhang have the ability to exert influence.
If Ji Changsheng and Ying Hongye came to Ying State purely for the purpose of fighting for power and profit, Ji Changsheng should have agreed to Li Xiang's suggestion.
Even if he was not here for power and profit, Ji Changsheng would find it difficult to refuse openly because this proposal would definitely be beneficial to Ying Hongye.
But Ji Lao Mo is Ji Lao Mo after all.
He smiled and nodded, saying, "Prime Minister Li's words are mature and prudent. Logically, I should agree to it."
When Li Xiang heard Ji Changsheng say "Logically speaking", his heart sank.
"It's just that Hongye is worried about your Majesty's injury and can't do anything else, so she has entrusted me with the task. She wants to be filial to your Majesty at his sickbed. As Hongye's best friend, how can I bear to let her give up the opportunity to be filial because of these trivial matters? This is not friendship." Ji Changsheng said seriously, "Although I am also busy, since I promised Hongye, I will be responsible to the end."
Cold sweat also began to appear on Li Xiang's forehead.
If Ji Lao Mo is held responsible, his son may not be able to be saved.
At this time, we must divert the blame.
Li Xiang suddenly thought of someone: "Where is the afterimage?"
"Yes, where is the afterimage?" Marshal Zhang also reacted: "Didn't they say that the afterimage entered the Xianwang Mansion? Why didn't we find any trace of her?"
"Report, the last trace of the afterimage disappeared outside the Shang Pavilion Master's Mansion."
This time it was Ji Changsheng's turn to have his eyes twitched violently.
Li Changxi rolled her eyes silently, and then her eyes, as sharp as a knife, swept over Li Xiang, Marshal Zhang and Yue Qingzhao.
"Changsheng, which of the three of them did it?"
Anyway, it definitely wasn’t done by her and Ji Changsheng.
Whether it was the "assassination" of the imperial envoy, going to the eldest prince's mansion, or disappearing in the third prince's mansion, the afterimages were all real afterimages.
As descendants of the righteous path, Ji Changsheng and Li Changxi never frame others.
But now they are both where they are.
However, the "afterimage" disappeared outside the residence of the master of the Secret Law Pavilion.
This is really weird.
Ji Changsheng set his final target on Yue Qingzhao.
"It should be Yue Qingzhao." Ji Changsheng analyzed: "Li Xiang and Marshal Zhang obviously didn't react just now, and with their status, there is no need for them to target the head of the Secret Law Pavilion."
Although the head of the Secret Law Pavilion is also considered to be in a high position of power in Ying State, and can even be ranked in the top five in terms of actual power, Li Xiang and Marshal Zhang are undoubtedly the top two.
If they wanted to touch the leader of the Secret Law Pavilion, there was no need to lower their status like this.
What is more likely is that Yue Qingzhao wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain power.
Li Changxi rolled her eyes again.
"According to the intelligence of the Assassin's League, there is basically no faction in the Secret Law Pavilion. It is Shang who has the final say. Yue Qingzhao was also promoted by Shang himself. She is an absolute confidant of Shang. What she did is a typical betrayal for fame and fortune."
"That's normal. Who wants to be second if you can be the boss?" Ji Changsheng didn't care.
After all, not everyone is as noble as him.
"Should we follow her wishes?" Li Changxi asked.
Ji Changsheng shrugged: "It doesn't matter, what I want is merit. As for where the merit comes from, it doesn't matter to me. If I find out that Yue Qingzhao also has merit, I will kill her too."
Li Changxi agreed: "Junior brother, what you said is very true. Merit is the most important thing. Don't worry about other things."
In their eyes, the people of Ying State were those with great merits and those with small merits, as well as innocent civilians and a few good people.
"I will tidy up the Xianwang Mansion from inside to outside. Junior brother, you can go to the Secret Law Pavilion."
Li Changxi and Ji Changsheng divided the territory.
There must be many merits in the Xianwang Mansion.
And the princess's surname is Li.
Although Li Changxi didn't care, she still had to be careful about the aftermath.
Ji Changsheng certainly had no objection.
"Senior sister, let me know when you're done with things here."
After bidding farewell to Li Changxi, Ji Changsheng waved his hand and sent troops to Shang Mansion.
Because the Secret Law Pavilion did not receive the news of the Assassin's League's assassination attempt on Ying III in advance, the Pavilion Master Shang of the Secret Law Pavilion has been ordered to reflect on himself behind closed doors.
Shang Zhengjia is the only daughter of Lord Shang.
The water mirror videos previously found in the Third Prince's residence involved the families of Prime Minister Li and Marshal Zhang. Both Prime Minister Li and Marshal Zhang chose to give in and quickly sent their family members to Prince Xian's residence.
But Shang Zhengjia never showed up to plead guilty.
Ji Changsheng has not forgotten this matter.
Face is given to each other. Anyone who doesn't give him face can only be a demon.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Yue, Shang Zhengjia has never come to surrender himself before. Do you think Pavilion Master Shang doesn't know about this, or does he love his daughter so much that he deliberately bends the law for personal gain?" Ji Changsheng asked.
Yue Qingzhao smiled bitterly. She didn't want to answer this question, but facing Ji Changsheng's sharp eyes, she knew that her little trick might have been completely seen through by the young leader of the Demonic Sect.
She was not surprised by this.
They didn't react at first, but now, with her and Marshal Li Xiangzhang's levels, they can of course guess that the so-called "afterimage" is Ji Changsheng's man.
And the "afterimage" that disappeared outside the Shang Mansion could only be her.
