How could his letter to Li Feng be in the emperor's hands!
Turning to look at Xia Jin, Qu Rongjie felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave for a moment when she saw a sneer on her lips!
The hands in his sleeves slowly clenched, and he only regretted that he had underestimated this woman and failed to kill her earlier!
"Qu Linjie, I'm asking you a question!" the old emperor shouted sternly.
Qu Rongjie had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "Your Majesty, I have never seen these letters!"
Prime Minister Qu, who was standing on one side, looked away from the trace of panic in Qu Linjie's eyes. He asked Qu Linjie to protect Dongmen Qian, but he didn't ask him to kill anyone!
Prime Minister Qu was angry, but after all, Qu Rongjie was his son, so he naturally had to protect him.
"Your Majesty, Quanzi has already said that he has never seen these letters. It is obvious that Xia Jin deliberately framed them! Such slander is simply outrageous! Please punish me severely, Your Majesty!"
"Whether it's a frame-up or not, the emperor only needs to get a pen and paper to ask him to write his name, and then compare the handwriting to find out!" Xia Jin said calmly.
Prime Minister Qu snorted coldly and argued: "Handwriting can be forged!"
"Since Prime Minister Qu thinks these letters are fake and the handwriting can be forged, does that mean that the seal of the Prime Minister's Mansion has also been forged?" Xia Jin smiled half-heartedly.
"If someone is deliberately framed, they will naturally be better prepared!" Prime Minister Qu stroked his beard.
Xia Jin looked at the emperor, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the common people have witnesses who can prove that these letters are true!"
"Bring it up!" the old emperor said.
Xia Jin looked outside the hall, "General!"
Lin Ziyi walked in, Qi Jing followed behind him, and held Zhang Heng, who was tied up by Wuhua Da.
When she saw Zhang Heng, Qu Rongjie's face became even more ugly!
He lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and then looked at Prime Minister Qu for help.
Prime Minister Qu's face was ashen and he gave him a look to calm him down.
Lin Ziyi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, he is the assassin who was sent out as mentioned in the letter. He was at the scene on the day when Dongmen Qian died!"
"Zhang Heng, tell me everything you know!" Lin Ziyi looked at Zhang Heng.
When Zhang Heng came, he promised to confess, but when he saw Prime Minister Qu and Qu Rongjie in the palace, he began to dodge his eyes.
"The person...was...killed by me!"
Seeing his confession, Xia Jin stepped forward and said: "Who bribed you? The emperor will make the decision for you, just tell the truth!"
"No one bribed him, it was me who wanted to kill him!" Zhang Heng lowered his head, not daring to look into Xia Jin's eyes.
"You're lying! It was obviously Qu Linjie who bribed you to kill someone!"
"No! Absolutely not. I am responsible for what I do, and no one instigates me!" Zhang Heng raised his head with a firm gaze!
Qu Rongjie breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't confess to him!
Prime Minister Qu coughed as a reminder, and then he restrained the change in his expression.
"Your Majesty, this person has already confessed that those letters were probably forged by him!" Prime Minister Qu glanced at Zhang Heng.
"Is this possible?" he asked.
Zhang Heng nodded, "I forged it!"
"Now that he has confessed, someone will come and tie him up and send him to Dongmen's house to explain. This matter will be over! Retreat from the court!"
The old emperor stood up, and all the ministers saluted. They only waited for the emperor to leave before they all stood up and walked out of the hall.
Before leaving, Xia Jin glanced at Qu Rongjie and saw his proud face, which made Xia Jin feel irritable!
She didn't understand why Zhang Heng would go back on his word at the moment, even though he had already made an explanation when he came!
Along the way, Xia Jin didn't speak. Seeing that she was unhappy, Lin Ziyi comforted her: "This trip to Xuerong City is to clear your grievances. Now that the goal has been achieved, you should be happy."
Xia Jin looked at Lin Ziyi and saw that Lin Ziyi was not angry or surprised at all, as if all this was expected by him.
"General, did you already know that Zhang Heng was going to take over all the responsibilities?" Xia Jin asked.
Lin Ziyi refused to deny, "If Zhang Heng confesses everything, Lijia will definitely be involved. Lijia is far away from his family in Xuerong City and it is not under the jurisdiction of the emperor. If this matter gets serious, let me send troops to conquer it. Instead, Lijia will be involved."
It will cause a lot of trouble."
"So, you already knew?" Xia Jin looked at him.
Lin Ziyi leaned on the carriage and said: "Li Xiaotian is not a simple person. It is not an easy thing to develop Xuerong City to the present and become a delicate balance point for all countries. This has to be done by all the people."
The country needs a great strategy to deal with it, do you think he can not recognize me?"
"So, he already knew our identities?" Xia Jin asked me.
Lin Ziyi nodded, "Not only did he know, but he also knew what we were here to do. The reason why he allowed us to investigate in Xuerong City was because he wanted to use us to expel his eldest son Li Feng, and Zhang Heng
He also arranged it, otherwise do you think we can leave the city smoothly?"
Xia Jin recalled carefully, and it was indeed as Lin Ziyi said. After they entered the city, almost everything went smoothly, and Li Xiaotian was not as difficult to deal with as rumored.
It turns out that he did it on purpose!
He is such an old fox!
Looking at the man sitting next to him, he is still acting with him even though he clearly knows the other person's purpose. This man is quite sinister...
However, no matter what, just as Lin Ziyi said, their goal was achieved!
Xia Jin didn't suffer any loss during this trip. She got a cheap apprentice and also got two pieces of spiritual jade and ice crystal.
Lin Ziyi stopped the carriage at the door of Xia's house. Xia Jin got off the carriage, watched the carriage go away, opened the door and walked in.
Seeing Xia Jin coming back, Zhang Ma and Si Ji, who had been waiting in the house for a long time, gathered around.
"Miss, you are finally back!"
Shiji had thin eyelids and cried with joy.
"It's good to be back. Are you hungry? Zhang Ma is going to cook!" Zhang Ma turned her back, pulled her sleeves and wiped her eyes.
In the past few days, they were all worried, not only because Xia Jin had not come back, but more importantly, they were worried about Xia Jin's safety.
Now that I see her coming back safe and sound, my anxious heart can be put back into my stomach.
Returning to her long-lost house, Xia Jin felt completely relaxed. She had slept in the open air for several days and ran into the mines several times. She was all dirty.
Xia Jin planned to take a bath and change clothes before eating. Siji had already prepared hot water for Xia Jin. After putting the water in, Xia Jin sat in the barrel.
The moment the warm water enveloped your body, your whole body relaxed.
"It's so comfortable here!" Xia Jin leaned lazily in the tub and closed her eyes comfortably.
Si Ji took a bath towel and rubbed Xia Jin's shoulders. While rubbing, he said, "Fortunately, the lady is back, otherwise I don't know how I would have explained to the old lady."
Xia Jin opened her eyes and looked at the four seasons!
