Find another way out
Listening to these words, Ji Li did not seem to have a strong desire to live!
It was as if he had accepted his current situation!
But when did the awe-inspiring War Secretary Ji become like this?
Jing Rong looked at him, who was sitting cross-legged in the darkness. "So, do you really think that you killed him?"
"Maybe!"
"A life for a life, not to mention that this murder case involves two countries. Your Ji family might be implicated as well."
Ji Li looked up at him and sneered, "Your Highness, are you worried that my Third Sister will be implicated?"
Jing Rong remained expressionless and replied with a hint of amusement, "Have you forgotten, War Secretary Ji? She is no longer a member of your Ji family. "
Yes, this king's woman has already been expelled from the Ji Family. Even if your entire family is executed, it won't be her turn!
Ji Li's smile darkened as he muttered, "That's true!"
"War Secretary Ji doesn't intend to say anything else at this time?"
Ji Li took a deep breath. After a long time, he said in a serious tone, "Your Highness, you are an intelligent person. You should be able to see that there is something fishy about this matter, right? If someone really wanted to frame me, then what was his motive? Why did you frame me? And this time, the Qujiang people came to Great Lin with ulterior motives. Perhaps they have a bigger plan, and this plan must be initiated by me. Of course, these are only my conjectures. Perhaps, I really did kill them. After all, in the battle of Cangshui five years ago, many Qujiang soldiers died under my sword. So, when I saw the Qujiang people, I couldn't control my drunkenness and wanted to kill them. "
This explanation was really f * cking awesome!
Ji Li shrugged his shoulders. If he died, so be it. At most, he would be a good man eighteen years later.
However, after Jing Rong listened to his careless analysis, he frowned and took a small step back. His expression was solemn and solemn.
However, I hope that War Secretary Ji will remember my words. Ji Yunshu was brought to the capital by this Prince, so I will definitely protect her. Even if you want to kill her after you leave the prison, this Prince promises that I will kill you first. This is a warning, not a notification. "
His tone was filled with threats!
Ji Li only looked at him coldly, the corners of his mouth curling into a deep smile.
After Jing Rong said those words, he turned around and left. After Jing Rong left, Overseer Zu, who was standing at the corner, carefully looked at Ji Li. When he saw that Ji Li was still there, he heaved a sigh of relief.
After leaving the prison, he mounted his horse and returned to the Rong Estate.
Lang Po couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, War Secretary Ji isn't in a hurry to explain himself. Could it be that he really killed them?"
"I don't know!"
"He's the only one who doesn't scream when he's locked up in the Ministry of Justice's prison."
Jing Rong glared at him with a look of disdain. "War Secretary Ji is not an ordinary person. He knows very well that even if he screams until his throat is hoarse, Imperial Father will never let him out without proof. What's the point of screaming?"
"This … this subordinate was foolish!"
The corner of Lang Po's mouth twitched.
After returning to the estate, Jing Rong went to the East Courtyard. Ji Yunshu was in her room. She spread a piece of paper on the table and was about to pick up the brush when Jing Rong came in.
Perhaps it was because he left in a hurry, but his mouth was dry. As soon as he came in, he drank two cups of water without saying anything.
Only then did he sit down.
Ji Yunshu stared at him blankly for a while before asking, "What did you find out?"
Jing Rong muttered to himself for a moment before telling her everything that Ji Li had told him without missing a single word.
Ji Yunshu listened carefully and pondered in her heart.
Jing Rong was also quite puzzled. He said, "This Prince doesn't understand one thing. Ji Li looked very calm, as if he was prepared to die. He didn't have any desire to live. This Prince can't see through him."
"Your Highness can't see through him because he doesn't want you to see through him." Ji Yunshu said.
"Oh? What do you mean? "
"This Eldest Brother of mine is very meticulous. No matter what happens, he's always the calmest. Others may think that he doesn't care, but in fact, he has already found another way out for himself."
"Another way out? The Ministry of Justice's prison is full of felons. Moreover, he was imprisoned by my Imperial Father. Without Imperial Father's permission, no one can save him. It's even more impossible for him to escape. Finding another way out? There's only one way out, and that is to clear his name. "Jing Rong expressed his doubts.
However, Ji Yunshu was very firm. "Because of this, others can't see through my Eldest Brother's thoughts. Even if he really killed Yuchi Lin, he can still come out alive in the end."
"You overestimate Ji Li too much!"
"No, Your Highness has underestimated him."
Hearing this, Jing Rong suddenly felt as if he had really overlooked something, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
What exactly was Ji Li planning to do?
Ji Yunshu looked at his pensive expression and said, "Regardless of which way my Eldest Brother found another way out, he was right about one thing. It's very likely that all of this was part of Qujiang's plan. They wanted to use Yuchi Lin's death to achieve their true goal. If that's the case, then it's really frightening."
"So, what did you think of?" Jing Rong raised his eyebrows, wanting to continue listening.
But in fact, he had already thought of it!
Ji Yunshu picked out a brush and began to draw on the paper. "The greatest benefit between the two countries is nothing more than territorial sovereignty. It's already strange that Qujiang used a roundabout method at the border. After receiving His Majesty's order, they smoothly entered the capital and claimed that they were here to propose marriage. Although their reason is reasonable, it's somewhat absurd. His Majesty had just ordered Miss Kong to be brought over, so logically speaking, those Qujiang people should have already left. But in just one night, Yuchi Lin died. The whole thing seems to have a pattern to it. Five years ago, Qujiang and Great Lin lost two cities in the war. After all, the King of Qujiang is a king, so he must have a grudge."
After listening to her words, a trace of surprise flashed in Jing Rong's eyes, but it wasn't too shocking.
He said, "So, you think that their ultimate goal is to get those two cities? Step by step, they have been planning this ever since they started using the roundabout method at the border. "
"Perhaps even earlier," Ji Yunshu said indifferently.
Jing Rong got up from his chair and walked towards Ji Yunshu. He couldn't even use the word 'respect' to describe this woman anymore. She was too smart, so smart that it made people feel that she was too scary.
Perhaps, even those who were in the imperial court for a long time couldn't analyze these matters in such detail.
And Ji Yunshu was like a person who could see the whole picture!
