"Because this concerns the life and death of the Wen and Su families."
'Huh?'
The father and son of the Wen Clan were stunned when they heard this.
They were puzzled.
However, they also realized that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
The hall fell into silence. Old General Wen was the first to ask, "Miss Ji, I don't quite understand what you mean." Ji Yunshu explained, "We've already investigated. The assassins at Nan Sai and the ship were from the Decapitating Nine Guards! And the one who ordered them to do so … was Grand Tutor Yi. We saw it with our own eyes and don't think it's a lie! Logically speaking, Grand Tutor Yi's actions did not benefit him in any way. In fact, it was too risky. One mistake and he would put himself in a dilemma! Grand Tutor Yi is an intelligent man. He would never do something that did not benefit him. Unless … he was working for someone else.
I believe Old General Wen should be able to guess who the real mastermind behind this is. "
The Wen father and son understood her words.
They were very surprised!
Wen Che asked, "His Majesty?"
This was a very serious matter.
It was even more difficult to accept.
The Wen and Su families had given their all for the imperial court. How could the Emperor …
To make her words more believable, Ji Yunshu continued, "At that time, besides Marquis Kang Dinghou, Grand Tutor Yi was also in the same room as Old General Wen. If he had the intention, he could have taken the opportunity to poison me. "
Following his words, Old General Wen suddenly thought of something, his eyes narrowed slightly, he spoke of the incident that day, "At that time, when the manservant brought the wine, he placed it directly on the table, this old man asked him to return it, the person who passed the wine along the way … was Grand Tutor Yi."
Old General Wen's heart was filled with a trace of suspicion.
But …
Wen Yu didn't believe it. "Nonsense! Miss Ji, I trust your character and know that you are a good person, but you have implicated His Majesty in this matter. Do you know that this is a crime punishable by execution? Moreover, why did His Majesty do this? "
Without waiting for Ji Yunshu's reply, Wen Che solemnly said, "The Emperor wants us to kill each other in order to eradicate the Wen and Su families' influence in the imperial court!"
Kill each other? What a serious word!
"Brother, you can't really believe it, right?"
Wen Che ignored her and looked at Ji Yunshu. "Miss Ji, are you telling us this because you want us to save General Su?"
She didn't beat around the bush. "Yes, the only people who can save Teacher Su now are you."
Wen Che understood. He looked at his father and called out, "Father?"
To seek Old General Wen's opinion. Old General Wen was still silent, because Ji Yunshu's words were somewhat unbelievable to him, but it was also within his expectations. The Wen and Su family's influence in the imperial court was gradually growing, and the Emperor was naturally afraid of them. It was only a matter of time before he suppressed them.
But he didn't expect that they would use such a method. Ji Yunshu saw that he was silent for a long time, so she decided to strike while the iron was hot. "I know that you may not believe everything I say, but what I say is the truth. What you see is the truth. I can guarantee it with everything I have. Old General Wen, I believe that you have already made up your mind.
I hope you can help me save Teacher Su. " Old General Wen took a deep breath and clenched his fists on his knees. He slowly said, "Since Miss Ji has already said this, this old man will get straight to the point. I don't really want to use this matter to make things difficult for Su Ziluo. After all, his father and I used to be sworn brothers.
We are sworn brothers. In the past, I would also call him my nephew! It was because of this old affection that I didn't report the matter of him chasing after my son to the Emperor. I also couldn't bear to see the Su family's descendants end. "
Hearing this, Wen Yu suddenly understood.
No wonder his father didn't allow him to report this matter to the Emperor. It turned out … it was because of this old affection.
Old General Wen sighed and helplessly said, "But now … it's too late."
Ji Yunshu was puzzled. "Why?" "At that time, among the people who transported King Jing An's body back to the capital, there was a man named Yi Weian. Because he made a mistake that year, he was sent to guard Lingtang County. His ambition was left vacant for many years. Finally, he was able to stay in the capital because of his meritorious service in transporting King Jing An's body. However, this person's ambition was quite big and he didn't like small profits! I don't know how he found out that the group of assassins on the ship was sent by Su Ziluo. So, he secretly reported it to the Emperor. When the Emperor found out, he urgently summoned me to the palace last night and asked me about this matter.
Even if I couldn't bear it, in the end, I didn't dare to deceive the Emperor. The Emperor flew into a rage. Now, not only did he want to punish Su Ziluo for poisoning, but he also wanted to punish him for the assassination and destruction of King Jing An's body. These three crimes must be punished with death. "
'He must be punished with death!'
Ji Yunshu's chest tightened. "But everything was manipulated by the Emperor in the dark."
"Miss Ji, you still don't understand this old man's meaning. If it is as you say, and everything is a deliberate plot by the Emperor, then … the Emperor wants to use this matter to kill Su Ziluo. No one can save him!"
His tone was filled with helplessness.
Jing Rong narrowed his eyes and said, "But if General Su dies, the next target will be your Wen family!"
Everyone's gazes fell on him at the same time.
Jing Rong's expression was solemn as he continued, "If we want to reverse the situation, there is only one way, and that is for the Wen and Su families to join hands!"
Once again, the hall fell into a heavy silence.
The dignified atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard for them to breathe.
It was as if the sound of snowflakes falling outside could be heard clearly.
The cold wind blew more and more fiercely.
After an unknown amount of time, Old General Wen finally said something that shocked everyone. "You want this old man to … rebel?" "…"
… …
That night, the snow became heavier and heavier.
Under the night sky, Yan Jing appeared especially translucent. It was as if it had fallen into a dense mist, hazy and beautiful beyond compare.
The people were not affected in the slightest by the murder case at the Immortal's Competing Building and the cold snow.
The big Yan Jing was still brightly lit and bustling like smoke.
The Supreme Court's Prison
The prison exuded a heavy damp smell, mixed with the stench of blood. The deeper they went, the more disgusting they felt.
Wen Che used his authority to sneak in with Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong.
Su Ziluo's cell was not big. The floor was covered with grass and a thin blanket.
Due to the humidity of the four seasons, the walls of the cell were mottled with moss.
The gloomy candlelight swayed and flickered in the cold wind that blew in through the iron bars, giving off an eerie feeling. At this moment, Su Ziluo was sitting in a wheelchair with a thin blanket covering his legs. His expression was calm as he stared at the small iron bars in the prison cell. Outside, snow swirled in the air and the cold wind whistled. The snowflakes looked like fairies with wings as they draped themselves over his skin.
The glossy crystal coat fluttered in the wind. But it was so sorrowful …
