Ji Tianxing only found out after asking Yun Yao that what happened last night had already spread.
Many forces and cultivators in Liantian City basically knew that the City Lord's Mansion was destroyed and the City Lord was captured.
When he went on a killing spree in the City Lord's Mansion, there were hundreds of people who witnessed the entire process with their own eyes.
Those people were the guards and servants of the City Lord's Mansion, as well as the disciples and family members of the Qin Family.
When he captured Qin Zheng and left the City Lord's Mansion, those hundreds of people fled the City Lord's Mansion in a panic and spread the news.
Now, most people knew that the culprit behind the destruction of the City Lord's Mansion and the capture of City Lord Qin Zheng was Ji Tianxing!
Yun Yao was a little worried but she remained calm. She said to Ji Tianxing in a calm tone, "Tianxing, since you're back, stay in the Yunlan Courtyard and don't leave.
Even if Qin Zheng's allies and backers want to take revenge on you, they might not dare to barge into the Yunlan Courtyard.
Qin Zheng was the one who committed the crime first. It's not your fault. Even if you kill him, he deserves it.
I'll go to the Imperial Court to meet the Emperor later and report this matter clearly. I believe the Emperor won't punish you … "
In the past four hours, Yun Yao had already thought of a countermeasure and made the corresponding preparations.
No matter what, she wouldn't let anything happen to Ji Tianxing. Even if she had to use the Yun Family's power, she would protect him.
However, Ji Tianxing smiled and shook his head after hearing her words.
"Yao Yao, you don't have to go to the Imperial Court. I just came back from there.
As for Qin Zheng, I didn't kill him. I've already handed him over to the Imperial Court.
Don't worry, I'll be fine. Let's just wait and watch the show. "
Yun Yao was stunned. Her eyes revealed a look of surprise. "What? You've already been to the Imperial Court?
Tianxing, Qin Zheng, is the City Lord of Liantian City. It's said that he has a prince as his backer.
Even if the Imperial Court wants to punish him, they must have sufficient evidence … "
Without waiting for her to finish, Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "Don't worry. If I don't have enough evidence, why would I go to the Imperial Court rashly?
Moreover, I've already handed Qin Zheng and a large amount of evidence to the Imperial Tutor.
I believe the Imperial Court will handle it impartially... We just need to wait for the results. "
Only then did Yun Yao feel completely at ease. Her mood and expression relaxed.
"That's good!"
She paused for a moment. Seeing Ji Tianxing's travel-worn and weary appearance, she said in a soft voice, "Tianxing, you had a great battle last night and then ran back and forth. You must be very tired.
Go back and rest. I'll take care of the rest. If there's any news, I'll look for you. "
Ji Tianxing nodded in agreement. After bidding farewell to Yun Yao, he turned around and left.
.............................
. At the same time, Yun Yao was also busy.
She ordered the guards who were searching for Ji Tianxing to stop their search and inquire about the news in the city.
About half an hour later, a guard captain rushed back to the Misty Cloud Courtyard and reported the situation to her face to face.
"Reporting to Young Miss. Liantian City is in turmoil today. There are undercurrents surging.
All the forces are getting restless. They seem to be plotting something. Some of them are even secretly looking for Young Master Ji.
However, the Imperial Court is very fast. They've already sent hundreds of Imperial Guards to protect the City Lord's Mansion.
The Imperial Guards forbid anyone from getting close to the City Lord's Mansion. I can't spy on the situation inside for the time being.
The hundreds of survivors in the City Lord's Mansion have been isolated and are waiting for the Imperial Court's decision. "
Yun Yao nodded slightly after listening. "The City Lord's Mansion has been destroyed. Qin Zheng's whereabouts are unknown. All the major forces want to take advantage of the situation. Of course, they'll wait for an opportunity to act.
But this time, their plan was going to fail.
Liantian City is right under the Imperial Court's feet. How can the Imperial Court not act quickly?
With the Imperial Court taking care of this matter, how can they take advantage of the situation? "
The guard captain continued to report. "The commoners in the city are also talking about it. There are all kinds of rumors circulating in the streets.
Most people know that it was Young Master Ji who did it. The commoners have different opinions about it.
Some people are happy about what happened to the City Lord's Mansion. Some people are happy about it. They think that Young Master Ji is in big trouble and will be punished by the Imperial Court. "
Yun Yao sneered. She said coldly, "Those ignorant commoners only know about the City Lord's Mansion's power. They don't know about the Imperial Prince's Mansion's nobility.
So what if Tianxing really killed Qin Zheng? How can a puny City Lord be compared to the Imperial Prince?
Hmph. When the Imperial Court's decision is announced, I want to see what those people who are happy about it will think. "
After the guard captain reported the news, he bowed and left.
Yun Yao sat in the hall and continued to wait.
About four hours later, it was noon.
Yun Luo rushed back to Yun Lan's residence and personally reported the situation to Yun Yao.
"Young Miss, the Imperial Court's guards rushed to the city and posted the imperial edict. They announced the Imperial Emperor's order.
City Lord Qin Zheng formed a gang and killed innocent people. He even tried to assassinate Imperial Prince Tianxing. He was sentenced to death by the Imperial Emperor and has been beheaded in public.
The few gangs and families that colluded with Qin Zheng have been exterminated by the Imperial Court's guards.
In addition, a few big families and sects that were implicated have also been punished by the Imperial Court. Their vitality has been greatly damaged … "
After hearing this, Yun Yao's eyes flashed with a smile. She whispered, "I didn't expect the Imperial Court to act so quickly. They announced the punishment so quickly.
It seems that the evidence that Tianxing personally handed to the Imperial Court is irrefutable.
Qin Zheng has been executed by the Imperial Court. With so many forces involved, Liantian City will be in turmoil for a long time. "
After Yun Luo finished talking about the Imperial Court's order, he said with a strange expression, "Young Miss, most people in the city think that Young Master Ji will be punished severely by the Imperial Court.
Those people are gloating and waiting to see Young Master Ji make a fool of himself.
There are even a few Imperial Princes who secretly spread rumors that Young Master Ji will become the most embarrassing Imperial Prince and become the laughing stock of the Imperial Residence.
However, everyone was so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell to the ground when they saw the Imperial Court's order.
Everyone in Liantian City was dumbfounded. They couldn't believe this result.
Some people recklessly guessed and analyzed that Young Master Ji must have a powerful force behind him for him to be safe and sound.
There are even some people with ulterior motives who spread the news that Young Master Ji is living in Yun Lan's residence. He is Young Miss's lover and the future son-in-law of the Yun Family … "
Yun Luo's expression and tone were a little angry. He was obviously angry at those rumors and didn't want to see Yun Yao's reputation damaged.
However, Yun Yao looked indifferent. She wasn't angry at all.
She thought to herself, Those people are right. Tianxing is indeed the future son-in-law of the Yun Family.
