Chapter 1188 - 940 The Truth 20 Begins to Close the Net 1
When Ji Youzhi asked this, he received a look from Ji Youze as if he were an idiot."You... what kind of look is that?"
"A look of disdain!"
Ji Youze was very straightforward and explained it.
Ji Youzhi ground his teeth, wanting to argue.
"Witchcraft can only be countered by those who have studied it and can resist it."
Ji Youze said this expressionlessly.
Ji Youzhi’s eyes lit up.
"That’s right, Princess Ata, the National Master, and big brother..." At this point, he finally remembered the most important person.
"And Suisui!"
Ji Youze looked at him and nodded. Although his face remained expressionless, Ji Youzhi, skilled in investigations, inexplicably saw a comforting sense of old age on his face!
"Hey! I say, Ji Lao Ba, what kind of expression is that?
Do you think I’m stupid in your heart?"
Ji Youze ignored him.
Pointing to the few people kneeling on the ground, "Do you want to continue interrogating here, or go out and catch people?"
"Is that even a question?
Of course, I... catching people, I... I can’t do it!
I’ll stay here and tell stories with them. I’ll write a letter to inform the Ji Mansion and let big brother handle it.
He could certainly call on Princess Ata, as for the National Master, what status does he have?
That would require the Emperor’s Imperial Decree!"
The Emperor glanced at him upon hearing this.
"At times like this, an ordinary person might not be able to leave the Imperial Palace and reach the National Master’s residence, right?"
Ji Youzhi: "..."
"I’m not good at telling stories, I’ll go notify the National Master."
Ji Youze gave his idiot brother a look and expressionlessly went out.
Ji Youzhi: "..." This person clearly should have gone into action by now,
the information gathered by the Dark Department was probably also compiled, yet he still talks so grandiosely!
"Chancellor Lin, besides the matters of Li Xu and Liu Yuheng, do you have anything else to confess?"
Lin Yushu knelt on the ground, his body trembling. At this moment, his heart was filled with excitement, trembling, and fear.
"I have nothing else to confess!"
The Emperor roared angrily at this and slapped the table.
"Do you truly have nothing to confess?
The Li Family has been plotting for others over the years, securing positions for their scholars, receiving bribes worth hundreds of thousands of taels. Don’t you think this is something you should explain?"
After the Emperor roared, he murmured softly, "I’m so disappointed in you."
Hearing this, Chancellor Lin closed his eyes and finally sighed.
"Although the people Li Xu arranged weren’t directly recommended by me, I knew about most of them, I just didn’t stop it!"
This was an admission of guilt!
Chancellor Lin knocked his head heavily on the ground, then reached up to take off his hat, "I am guilty, I beg Your Majesty to grant me death!"
"If you die, what about your family?"
The Emperor sat on the Dragon Throne, looking coldly at Chancellor Lin, the disappointment in his eyes growing stronger.
"When I was the Chief Minister, they enjoyed glory and wealth because of me.
Now that I’ve made a mistake, they should lose all of this honor!"
"Your Majesty! I will bear my guilt, I beg the Emperor not to anger others!"
"Lin Yushu!!!!!!"
The Emperor was so angry his vision darkened, almost fainting.
"Someone, drag him out for me, and wait outside with Chancellor Song!"
Chancellor Lin was taken out by the guards outside. The March weather was not warm in the capital.
The Emperor’s two Chancellors were invited to the Palace after dark, wearing heavy clothes, but it was still cold in the deep night.
When Ji Youze took the Dark Department’s compiled information and started leading the Inner Guard to pull out the thorns, he saw the two shivering Chancellors, casually shrugged off his cloak, and also shrugged off the cloak of the Inner Guard Commander and gave it to Lin Yushu and Song Yuan.
Chancellor Lin never thought that in this time of crisis, the youngest son of the Ji Family, the current Champion Scholar, would show them kindness!
"Thank you, Young Master Eight. If this old man’s head can remain, I will surely give a great reward!"
Ji Youze expressionlessly said, in as few words as possible: "No need!"
But when it came to Song Yuan, the atmosphere was different, Song Yuan got straight to the point, "Thank you, Young Master Eight, for your help. If there’s nothing to repay you with, my daughter is yet to be married, Young Master Eight, how about letting my daughter marry you as a thank you?"
Ji Youze: "..." His expressionless face finally cracked!
