The metaphysics princess fortune-telling spirit, the abstinent and cruel king is addicted to pets

Chapter 286 Chapter 286: Obvious Protection
In this capital full of dignitaries, if you don't fight for opportunities to climb up, you will gradually become a low-ranking person and be looked down upon by others.

Many people have been persuaded.

After all, the Duke of Jin selected these people after investigation, so he is naturally [-] to [-]% sure.

But there are always one or two timid ones.

An official turned slightly pale, got up and said: "Duke Jin, I have important matters at home, so I will take my leave first."

Back then King Qing failed to unite with the Qi State, so why did they succeed?
It's better to run away quickly, so as not to get involved with yourself and your family.

Duke Jin raised his hand to signal him that it's okay to go.

But the guard guarding the door turned sideways slightly, and suddenly pulled out the saber in his hand.

Raising the knife in his hand, he stabbed the official in the abdomen with one blow.

The official stared wide-eyed: "You..."

The guard's wrist turned, the sword blade stirred in his abdomen, and the official was tortured before dying, his face distorted and defeated.

The person fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

There was no expression on the guard's face, he took out the handkerchief and wiped the blade clean.

Everyone saw this scene clearly from the window, their hearts trembled, and their bodies stiffened involuntarily.

Duke Jin took a sip of his tea, and said slowly, "Everyone, the matter is very important. Since this person has come, if he doesn't agree, it will only end like this, otherwise we will all be implicated."

Although everyone was terrified, they also felt that Duke Jin did the right thing.

You can't die before you leave the teacher, can you?
Originally, there were other people who wanted to leave, but seeing Duke Jin attacking so hard, they could only back down, sitting peacefully in their seats, not daring to move any more.

Duke Jin put down the teacup, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that everyone has thought clearly."

"Yes." Everyone said in unison, "Everything is subject to Duke Jin's arrangement."

Duke Jin nodded in satisfaction.

If Fan Guizong could do things well, he wouldn't have come to this point!
The reason why he found these aristocratic families is because these aristocratic families are declining now, but they have the accumulation of their ancestors, so they still have a certain strength now.

One of the strengths is that each family will keep more or less dead soldiers as backup.

The Duke of Jin invited them here because he wanted to gather dead soldiers from various families to form a small army.

After each family reported the number, Duke Jin nodded slightly: "There are a hundred people, that's enough."

Then Patriarch Gu asked: "Duke Jin, no matter how powerful the dead soldiers we train are, they are no match for those black armored guards, not to mention that the Ninth Prince is already highly skilled in martial arts. We are undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg."

Jin Guogong: "Don't worry, everyone, since I have borrowed people from everyone, I have a complete plan and I guarantee it will be successful."

When everyone heard the words, it was difficult to say anything more.

Before leaving, the guard took out another stack of talismans and wanted to cast spells on everyone.

They showed a look of resistance. If they were hit by a spell, wouldn't they be taken care of?
The guard said: "My lords, please forgive me. This is all for the sake of everyone's safety. There are no restrictions on not casting spells. It is hard to guarantee that any timid person will sue and betray everyone."

This is indeed true.

Moreover, they were disobedient and could not leave here, so they could only nod their heads and let the guards cast a spell on them.

After sending the family heads away, the guards went to collect the dead men of the families.

After working for a long time, he came back and reported to the Duke of Jin: "Master, the dead have been settled."

Duke Jin touched the cup, his eyes gradually became fierce: "Very well, this time I will definitely make Ye Siheng and the Chu family die without a place to bury them."

The guard frowned, "But Fan Guizong suffered internal injuries, is he still useful?"

Duke Jin's plan cannot lack people who are good at Taoism.

"There is a kind of Gu in Jianguo, which can quickly heal the internal organs, just find it for him." Jin Guogong said, "Huh, but this Fan Guizong is just playing lip service. Whenever he meets a master like Chu Nanli , His ability is not enough to see at all."

The guard bowed his head guiltily.

Because he was the one who made unannounced visits abroad, he took a fancy to Fan Guizong.

But he didn't expect that people are so useless.

Duke Jin looked at him and comforted him: "You don't have to feel guilty. After Luo Er's death, you have been busy. If you hadn't supported me, I might not have made it this far."

Sadness flashed across the guard's face, "My life was saved by the son, and the son died tragically. Naturally, I want to seek justice for the son."

"Yes..." Jin Guogong's eyes were wet, his fists were clenched tightly, and he said bitterly, "It's all because of Chu Nanli's refusal to give the talisman, otherwise Luo Er would have..."

The guard persuaded: "My lord, let them pay for the son's life soon, so that the son can rest in peace."

Duke Jin nodded and became more determined in his plan.

-

It was rare for Ye Siheng to use the Overwatch Council to make such a big commotion. Many cabinet ministers were quite critical and raised questions directly in the court meeting.

Among them is Mr. Cao Ge.

Naturally, he wasn't targeting Ye Siheng, but Ye Siheng's move was too domineering and disturbed Chao Gang.

Emperor Mu Wu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was in low spirits, and his voice was also weak: "What's going on? Ninth brother, is it really as the ministers said?"

Ye Chengyan took the lead and said, "Father, the uncle must have his reasons for doing this."

Seeing this, the officials who gathered at the tea garden last night felt their hearts sink, and agreed with Jin Guogong's words even more.

The crown prince is protecting Ye Siheng like this now, and when he ascends the throne in the future, is that okay?

Cao Ge was always displeased: "His Royal Highness, the Ninth Prince is in charge of the Overwatch Council. He should abide by the rules and the law. He can't do whatever he wants, right?"

Elder Xu Ge also nodded in agreement: "Not bad."

Ye Siheng was not in a hurry, and took out a few notebooks: "This king follows the rules and handles the case according to the law. If you don't believe me, please read it."

Elder Cao Ge was dubious, took the booklet, and then read it together with Elder Xu.

The incriminating evidence was written by the prisoner himself and signed at the end.

At this moment, the two looked at each other and had nothing to say.

However, some people questioned: "Everyone has entered the Overwatch Council and suffered all kinds of torture. There is no guarantee that they will be beaten into tricks."

Ye Siheng looked over.

With a handsome face, sharp eyes, and a chill all over his body.

The official who spoke immediately shook his body, swallowed his saliva and quickly lowered his head.

Ye Siheng said again slowly: "If you don't believe me, bring him to the palace for interrogation."

"Okay." Emperor Mu Wu waved his hand, "Since the person has already signed the signature, there is no need to bother. You can judge as you want."

These words were obviously defending Ye Siheng again.

The emperor said so, Cao Gelao and others naturally couldn't talk more.

After coming down to the court, Emperor Mu Wu still kept Ye Siheng behind, and he frowned: "Ninth Brother, you seldom do things so aggressively, what are you doing? If you want to investigate like this, there will still be more civil and military officials in the court." several?"
