A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1201 - 944 Closing the Net 5_3

"Ah...Don’t go, Divine Hunter Ji! Divine Hunter, save me! Divine Hunter, I don’t want to die yet! Divine Hunter, I beg you, save me!"Watching Ji Youzhi and the Emperor, Princess Lianchun walked out of the Imperial Study, while inside, Liu Yuheng knelt and shouted desperately for Ji Youzhi to save him.

Lu Zezhong, on the other hand, was already scared limp on the ground.

He trembled and said, "Old Li, you are truly ruthless!"

"Lord Lu, are these people really sent by the Li Family to kill and silence?"

Seeing Lu Zezhong’s state, Liu Yuheng was terrified and quickly asked him.

Lu Zezhong nodded with his body shaking.

"But the Li Family’s offense is merely a small matter of buying and selling official positions, which the Emperor already knows about. Killing you would be of no help!

Besides, Li Xu has already been taken into the Divine Hunter’s Bureau and confessed. Even if they kill you, they can’t escape being convicted. Why do they need to kill you?"

Lu Zezhong continued to shiver without speaking, while Liu Yuheng proceeded, "Lord Lu, could there be something else that we don’t know about?"

"What do you mean?"

"Oh! I just think this matter is definitely not as simple as buying and selling official positions, otherwise the Li Family wouldn’t take such a big risk and send people to assassinate you!"

"I..."

At this moment, Lu Zezhong’s mind was already a complete mess!

Outside, Ji Youzhi looked at the people who had just acted, patted their shoulders, and said, "Well done, good job, when you guys leave the Palace later, go find Daifu, and have them invite you to the Xinghua Building for a few drinks."

Hearing Sun Daifu’s name, the person pretending to be the assassin replied, "Don’t mention Daifu, he’s still under house arrest by his father and hasn’t left the Mansion!

He already had someone bring a message to you, asking you to bail him out, but you insisted you were too busy and didn’t want to go, now..."

"Alright, alright, you guys leave the Palace now, go straight to the Sun Mansion, find Sun Daifu’s father, say it’s my order, there’s a case that needs him, you go get him yourself, can’t you do that? Why do I have to go personally? Am I not busy?

Always causing me trouble!"

It wasn’t that Ji Youzhi didn’t want to bail Sun Daifu out, but that rascal bribed the beloved niece, and almost ruined the Emperor’s major affair. Ji was a little jealous, so he thought about rescuing him later, however, one night passed and he forgot all about it.

"Alright, Sir, it’s about time, we should leave the Palace now, the next team is ready to take over."

The brothers from the Divine Hunter’s Bureau quickly wrapped up and left the Palace. Another group was ready to proceed, so they entered the Imperial Study, and after drawing their swords and asking "Who is Lu Zezhong? Why are there two people kneeling here?" Lu Zezhong immediately shouted, "Divine Hunter Ji save me, I’ll confess, I’ll tell you everything about the elder of the Li Clan!"

Having said that, he grabbed something from the Imperial desk to throw at the assassin to beg for his life, shouting loudly "Divine Hunter Ji, save me" as he did so!

Ji Youzhi drew his sword, imposing and heroic, and went in to save him.

The performance ended, and the Emperor and Princess Lianchun followed into the Imperial Study.

"You said you know about the elder of the Li Family, speak, what do you know?"

The Emperor asked as soon as he sat down.

Ji Youzhi first tidied up the Imperial Study.

Princess Lianchun still sat on the Phoenix throne.

Ji Youze began to prepare the writing materials to record.

"Your Majesty, this old minister is guilty!"

Lu Zezhong cried before he could speak.

Ji Youzhi sighed, "Your guilt is naturally real, but it can be big or small. If you explain things clearly to His Majesty now, confess everything about the Li Family elder, it will be a minor crime. If you keep silent about everything, then it’s a major crime!"

After Ji Youzhi said this, Lu Zezhong replied, "I actually don’t know about the elder of the Li Family’s matters, I also don’t know why he wants to kill me!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Youzhi’s mouth twitched: "Stubborn and unaware!"

"Divine Hunter Ji, how can I speak of things I don’t know?"

Ji Youzhi shook his head, "You do know, and you know a lot, Lu Zezhong, do you want me, the Divine Hunter, to reveal all your crimes one by one before you confess?"

"I’m telling you, your voluntary confession and the crimes I, the Divine Hunter, investigate and reveal are not the same!"

"Divine Hunter Ji, do you think by scaring me a bit I would fabricate something out of nothing?"

"I genuinely don’t know anything about the elder of the Li Family!"

"You say you don’t know, then why did you just claim to know everything?

As long as I came in to save you, you could tell me everything you do or don’t know?"

Ji Youzhi asked loudly, suddenly feeling as if he had been played!
