Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

The next morning, Ji Mingcheng was the first to ask, "Your Majesty, two days have passed since the seven-day period, and Mr. Shen has not found out the murderer, is it..."

"Who said he didn't find out the murderer?" The emperor directly interrupted him, looking at Ji Mingcheng with gloomy eyes.

Ji Mingcheng was startled slightly, and asked in puzzlement, "Who is the murderer?"

The emperor sneered, and said mockingly: "I really don't know who Ji Aiqing is?"

"What's the emperor's intention? How could I know such a thing." Ji Mingcheng's heart skipped a beat, his face instantly became as pale as paper, and he looked at the emperor in surprise and fear.

The emperor directly threw a token in front of him, and said indifferently: "Look for yourself!"

Trembling, Ji Mingcheng picked up the token, and saw the word "Ji" engraved on it, he was so frightened that he trembled all over his body, his legs became weak involuntarily, and he fell to the ground.

All the ministers were shocked by the sudden change, and they began to discuss in whispers.

"What did Ji Shangshu do to make the emperor so angry?"

"I don't know. Could it be that he has something to do with the murderer who killed Prime Minister Luo?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't make random guesses."

"But……"

"If you dare to say one more word, you will lose your head."

"..."

Ji Mingcheng's head was covered with cold sweat, and he quickly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, "Your Majesty forgive me, I really don't know about this..."

"I don't know a word." The emperor snorted contemptuously.

"Your Majesty has been wronged, Your Majesty!" Ji Mingcheng wept bitterly, "I have never murdered Prime Minister Luo, Your Majesty, please check clearly, I am really wronged!"

"Are you still quibbling?" The emperor glared at Ji Mingcheng angrily, and said sharply: "Prime Minister Luo and you have never been at odds, and it's fine for you to fight secretly, but now you have lost your conscience and bribed Japanese pirates to kill Prime Minister Luo's family. You are really vicious." heart!"

"Your Majesty, you have been wronged! I beg your Majesty to investigate!" Ji Mingcheng kowtowed loudly, and his forehead soon became red and swollen.

The emperor snorted coldly, "Since you don't admit it, then I will now order Luo Qingyan, the daughter of Prime Minister Xuan Luo, to enter the palace and let her tell you the truth."

Luo Qingyan was proclaimed into the Golden Luan Hall, and above the hall, she looked lovely and pitiful.

"My daughter Luo Qingyan, join the emperor, long live my emperor." Luo Qingyan knelt down on the ground, folded her hands in front of her chest, and saluted respectfully.

"Get up." The emperor said lightly.

Luo Qingyan slowly stood up straight, but still lowered her head and did not speak.

"I ask you, can you still recognize the person who chased and killed you that day?" the emperor asked.

Luo Qingyan pursed her lips and shook her head, "Back to the emperor, those men in black were covered with black cloths back then, and my servants dare not confirm, but my servants bit one of them, the scars should still be there, and the other person was caught by the housekeeper Bu, that man's face is very ferocious." When mentioning the past, Luo Qingyan's eyes were slightly red, and she straightened her back stubbornly.

"My Majesty, I remember that there are many scars on the face of a famous master in Lord Ji's mansion." Shen Lanze took the opportunity to stand up and said.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, "In that case, let's bring him over and let Miss Luo see if it's this person."

"Your Majesty, this is clearly an intentional frame-up. I have never done such a thing." Ji Mingcheng became completely confused now. He didn't expect Shen Lanze to find Luo Qingyan, let alone that person would reveal his face.

Unfortunately, Ji Mingcheng's rebuttal was invalid, and half an hour later, a man was brought into the hall.

"Grass people join the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live long live long live long live long live my emperor."

"En." The emperor nodded, his eyes fell on the man and said: "Raise your head and let me see."

The man raised his head when he heard the words, the long scar on his face was extremely hideous.

this face...

Luo Qingyan frowned. Although this face was hard to recognize, she would never remember it wrong.

"It's him, it's him, it's him who killed my father!" Luo Qingyan couldn't hold back anymore, tears flowed down her cheeks, and a grief-stricken roar sounded in the hall.

Seeing this scene, Shen Lanze quickly comforted: "Miss Luo, don't get excited."

Ji Mingcheng was also anxious, and shouted at the man: "Why? Why did you kill Prime Minister Luo? I took you in with good intentions, but you fell into my injustice!"

He walked towards the man with trembling steps, reached out his hand and grabbed the front of his chest, and questioned him.

The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you Master Ji for taking me in, but I have a mortal feud with the Luo family? I can't die!"

"You..." Ji Mingcheng pointed at the man angrily, pretending to be distressed.

The man even pushed him away, cupped his hands and said: "One person does the same thing, it is true that I killed Prime Minister Luo's family. This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Ji, it was all done by me alone!"

Seeing this, Ji Mingcheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with me."

The emperor squinted his eyes, and said in a cold tone: "Well, this matter has nothing to do with you. I gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it yourself."

The emperor directly threw down the evidence of his corruption in his hand, and then said sharply: "Look at these things, and see how many outrageous things you have done yourself! How dare you complain here!
Ji Mingcheng bent down to pick up the memorial on the ground, and the evidences on it made him gasp!
"Someone-"

The Imperial Guard immediately ran to the Golden Luan Hall, "Your Majesty."

"Send Ji Mingcheng to the Prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and wait for punishment." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The imperial guard nodded.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! You've been wronged!" Ji Mingcheng panicked.

"Procrastinate." The emperor waved his hand impatiently, signaling the imperial guards to take Ji Mingcheng away quickly.

Looking at this scene, Luo Qingyan raised a cold arc at the corner of her mouth, and regained her composure in an instant.

"Miss Luo, I know you are in great grief. If you have any requests, just ask, and I will try my best to satisfy you." The emperor said suddenly.

Luo Qingyan was stunned, and knelt on the ground and said: "Father has been investigating the case of Taifu Shen when he was alive, and before he died, he even handed over the things he investigated to the protection of my daughter, and my daughter begged the emperor to re-investigate the case, so as to comfort my father's spirit in heaven." .”

The emperor fell silent, and the ministers were so frightened that they held their breath. It is really audacious to dare to make such a request.

Shen Lanze never thought that she would make such a request, and looked at the person kneeling there in surprise, with mixed feelings in her heart.

He didn't want to implicate others because of this, and he didn't want to owe a debt of favor because of it.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Taifu Shen's case was tried by the emperor himself, how can there be an unjust case! Why don't you take back what you just said!" Jun Ziheng gave her a wink, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

That Luo Qingyan smiled slightly, not afraid of death, said: "The words that were said, the water that was poured out, there is no reason to take it back, and why didn't His Highness ignore me, when you took me in and locked me in the room, you once said, Will you believe me no matter what happens? He even said he would marry me!"

This remark instantly caused an uproar, and the courtiers began to discuss it.

Jun Ziheng's face was livid, and his eyes were fixed on Luo Qingyan. He didn't expect this weak woman to escape from his control. He knew that he shouldn't have kept her in the first place!
