The villain queen's close minister

"According to my investigation, the Ji family violated the laws of the Great Shang Dynasty, harboured and colluded with the demon cultivators, and intended to subvert the Great Shang Dynasty. They deserve to be killed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the court was instantly ignited.

This is not only aimed at the Ji family, this is to force the Ji family to death!

It is true that sheltering a demon cultivator is a serious crime, but it depends on the circumstances. Knowing a demon cultivator and not reporting it to the court is also called sheltering a demon cultivator. If the emperor does not care, the matter can be covered up.

But if they also intend to overthrow Da Shang, that would be like trampling the Ji family into the ground!

Ji Wuchang's eyes widened even more, and his calmness just now was gone: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Chapter 17: Sacrifice for the sake of justice

"Su An! Stop slandering us. My Ji family has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for generations, and has worked diligently for the business community. How could we collude with the devil? Are you trying to help Li Dequan by throwing dirty water on my Ji family?"

"That's right, Su An, even if you are the censor, you can't slander my Ji family."

"No evidence! Do you have any evidence?"

The officials of the Ji family could no longer sit still and stood up one after another, accusing Su An of slander.

There was only one young official standing at the end of the civil servants, who looked 70% similar to Ji Wuchang. He had cold sweat on his forehead, a chill on his back, and cold hands and feet, as if he was frozen.

How could this happen? He was hiding very well, how could he be discovered?

It’s fake, it must be fake, he has no evidence!

"Dirty water? Humph! Then what did you pour on Li De before? Was it fecal water?"

Su An had a righteous and upright expression, and he bowed his hands to the sky and said, "I, Su, am upright, incorruptible, loyal to the emperor and patriotic. The heavens and the earth are my witnesses. If I had not had solid evidence, how could I dare to expose the ugliness of your Ji family in front of His Majesty and all the civil and military officials."

Could it be that someone really is colluding with the evil cultivators behind the family's back?

Ji Wuchang thought with a pale face.

Otherwise, how could Su An speak so confidently and righteously?

Who on earth harmed my Ji family?

He began to recall the things that happened in Ji's house in the past that he had not paid much attention to.

"Your Majesty, this is the evidence!"

Su An took out a photo stone, held it high, looked at Ji Wuchang and said loudly: "There is a photo of the Ji family colluding with the demon cultivators in it."

Ji Wuchang's face turned pale, and he had some vague guesses in his mind.

"Then let's take a look." The empress had a blank expression on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking at this moment.

A magical power was injected into the image stone, which activated the image inside, and the image suddenly appeared above the hall.

There was an uproar in the hall.

It's actually true.

The young official in the back row had already fallen to his knees helplessly. One of the videos played showed him talking with a group of demon cultivators.

I don't even know if Su An did it on purpose.

There happened to be a part in the video where a demon cultivator drank a few bowls of wine and shouted: "This damn court is chasing us all day long, and those damn court lackeys are chasing us like their fucking hyenas. Life is so fucking miserable. I really want to overthrow this damn Shang Dynasty."

There were also demon cultivators cheering and shouting, "Go to Lingxiao Palace and seize the throne of the Shang Emperor."

The young civil servant was standing in the middle of them, holding up his glass and shouting, "Everyone, let's drink this cup to the full and plan great things together!"

The video ends abruptly here.

All the ministers couldn't help but look in the direction of the young civil servant with strange expressions.

"In addition to physical evidence, there are also witnesses. The demon cultivator in the photo is imprisoned in Xuanniao Prison, and he has confessed everything." Su An handed over another confession of the demon cultivator.

Is this guy so brave?

I originally thought that there were only one or two demon cultivator friends, but I didn't expect...

"Oh no, the Ji family is probably finished."

The Ji family is just a small family. They don’t even have a great Yuanshen cultivator. How can they have such ambitions?

Ji Wuchang, who had previously sworn that it was impossible, now had his beard trembling, and it was unclear whether he was angry or afraid.

"Evil son, evil son!"

He turned his head and stared at the young official who was slumped on the ground, wishing he could slap him to death.

Why does the young master of the Ji family not want to be a good person and instead collude with the evil cultivators? What is he trying to achieve?

He hated himself for not having the nerve to stick him against the wall.

"Father, I didn't, I just, just..." The young official wanted to explain anxiously, but he was speechless.

Although he colluded with the demon cultivators, it was only to obtain the Heavenly Demon inheritance and he was just using these demon cultivators.

This is clearly the conspiracy he was talking about.

As for overthrowing the Shang Dynasty or something.

Even if he was given a thousand courages, he wouldn't dare to do it!

At this moment, he felt the deep malice coming from the malicious editing and cutting out of the content.

Su An, who had kept his achievements to himself, put away the photo stone and acted as if he was enjoying the show.

His mission accomplished.

"You evil son, you are harming my Ji family, I cannot let you go!"

Ji Wuchang suddenly attacked, and his pure Yang magic power shook the space.

The young official was beaten into a bloody mist before he could even scream.

After Su An reacted, he couldn't help but smacking his lips. What a cruel man, he killed his own son for the sake of justice.

Unfortunately, the crime is so serious that it would be useless to kill him eight or ten times.

"Be bold!"

Hong Shao, who was standing beside the empress, was furious.

Ji Wuchang actually dared to kill people in the court. Could it be that he really doesn't take Your Majesty seriously?

Unexpectedly, Ji Wuchang immediately knelt down and knocked his head on the solid floor. "Your Majesty, I failed to educate my son properly and deserve the death penalty, but the rest of the Ji family is innocent! Your Majesty, I am willing to die to apologize for my crime. I hope Your Majesty will show mercy to me for my many years of handling government affairs!"

The last three words have a higher pitch, bringing a sad atmosphere.

But not everyone buys into this look.

"You say you are innocent, so you are innocent. Who knows if you just murdered someone to silence him?"

This was said by Shen Changfeng.

"The one who colluded with the demon cultivators was your eldest son from the Ji family. Who would believe you when you said it had nothing to do with the Ji family?"

The other Shen family officials, even those who had nothing to do with the Shen family, also responded.

The situation in the court suddenly reversed.

Just now it was the Ji family criticizing Li Dequan, but now it has become the officials criticizing the Ji family.

The Shen family didn't fight before because they would only hurt each other if they continued to fight. But now that the situation is favorable and it's a good opportunity to bring down the Ji family, they have to fight.

The officials of the Ji family did not dare to stand up at this time.

The main reason was that the evidence was too sufficient and there was no room for rebuttal. Even many officials from other families had begun to think about severing their ties with the Ji family. They were not members of the Ji family and there was no need for them to be buried with the Ji family.

"Good, good, what a great Ji family!" The empress's face was cold and the ministers were trembling, knowing that the empress was angry.

If Su An hadn't known that this matter had been discussed with the empress, he would probably have been fooled.

"My dear Su, what do you think?" She looked at Su An again.

The eyes of the other ministers also focused on Su An.

It was Su An who discovered that the Ji family was colluding with the evil cultivators, so it was normal to listen to his opinion at this time.

Facing the gazes of a group of Life Pill and Pure Yang masters, Su An was not at all nervous.

"Your Majesty, the Ji family colluded with the demon cultivators and conspired to rebel. This is high treason. The charges are true. According to the laws of our Great Shang, the three clans should be exterminated. However, considering the contributions made by the Ji family over the years, I think the punishment should be determined appropriately. The mastermind should be executed, and the rest of the Purple Mansion and above should have their cultivation abolished, and the entire clan should be exiled to the Desolate State."

Huangzhou is located in the southern part of Dashang. It has a harsh environment and borders the Southern Barbarian Land, where monsters are rampant and small-scale monster attacks occur from time to time.

Exiling the Ji family to Huangzhou is to let them do their final part for Da Shang.

"Then it's up to you."

Everything was discussed beforehand. As the empress finished her words, a breath of the primordial spirit firmly locked onto Ji Wuchang, preventing him from resorting to desperate measures.

Chapter 18 Is this the contrast?

In fact, it is impossible for anyone to harm the empress in Lingxiao Palace.

In addition to the protection of the royal ancestor's soul, Lingxiao Palace is also the place where the luck of the Shang Dynasty gathers. The empress holding the Xuanniao Seal can mobilize the luck to the greatest extent, and the protection it brings even surpasses the soul realm.

Unless the legendary Daoguo realm being descends to the world, but so far, no one has really broken through this realm.

Only after the Shang emperors of all dynasties reached the state of Yuanshen, holding the Xuanniao Seal and gaining good fortune, could they exert power close to the Daoguo realm.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Shang Dynasty has remained standing and dominated the world for so many years.

If the previous Shang Emperor had not died unexpectedly before achieving his primordial spirit, the world would probably be more stable and harmonious today.

Under the high platform, Ji Wuchang looked grim.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!"

Then his cultivation was sealed and he was pulled down, without any resistance the whole time.

Similarly, the Shen family was also hit. Shen Changfeng was directly dismissed from office on charges of forming a clique for personal gain and disrupting the government.

The ministers immediately understood that today's incident was probably His Majesty's way of warning the aristocratic families.

It just so happened that the Ji family and the Shen family emerged and became the chickens to be killed to scare the monkeys.

Although the Shen family was unwilling, they felt much better when they saw the Ji family in even greater decline.

At least the Ji family was brought down, so overall it was a win.

Without the Ji family's interference, Li Dequan would not be charged with any crimes.

He was only sentenced to a fine of one quarter's salary.

"Thank you very much, Lord Su, for your help."

After being released from prison, Li Dequan was extremely grateful to Su An. He didn't know yet that his daughter had sold herself to save her father, and Li Zishuang didn't dare to tell Li Dequan about it.

Otherwise, it is hard to say whether he would be so grateful.

……

At the Su Mansion, the sun is at its highest point in the sky.

Suan's bedroom,

"This sister Zishuang is just lame."

Looking at Li Zishuang, who was squatting beside her and holding her neck in pain, Ye Lier showed a king's contempt.

Perhaps due to her pure Yin constitution, she has a particularly strong learning ability, especially in learning certain skills.

Li Zishuang's face turned red with embarrassment.

She was also bewitched before, and was willing to be teased by Su An because of the joy that her father was released.

But how could a normal person possibly adapt to that kind of thing?

Far away in Dongzhou, Ye Xuan, who was spreading the news of the demon dragon, suddenly felt his head feel heavy. It turned out that a few green leaves had fallen on his head, with a few fat dark green cabbage worms on them.

“I always feel like I’ve lost a lot.”

He was confused, but he still cursed, "Su An, you deserve to die!"
