After Qin Jiyan and Jing Yan agreed to cooperate, they took action separately, one in the palace to take charge of the situation, and the other to look for people outside the palace.
Although Qin Jiyan didn't think that Ji Nuo knew anything about it, Zi Che brought the person and Qin Jiyan still met with Ji Nuo.
The result was just as Qin Jiyan expected. Although Zino was ambitious, he really didn't know anything this time and was completely taken advantage of by the people from the Changsheng Sect.
Seeing Ji Nuo's face full of defeat and despair, Qin Jiyan sneered without any sympathy.
If I had known today, why would I have bothered to do so at the beginning? Da Qin has never treated the Ji family badly. Without the support and acquiescence of the Da Qin royal family, how could the Ji family monopolize the private business of the Three Kingdoms? Why should the Ji family accumulate a huge amount of wealth? Why should the children of the family enjoy the wealth of the world?
The Ji family has accumulated a lot of money through Da Qin, and then has the ambition to seize the country. If such a family cannot be destroyed, where will the national prestige of Da Qin be?
"Take the people down." If he couldn't find anything useful, Zino would be of little value.
In terms of medical skills, he is not as good as Medicine King; in terms of understanding of the Immortality Sect, he is not as good as Ni Yue. The greatest value of Zino is probably his relationship with Xihu and Northern Qi, but now Northern Qi and Xihu still have time to supervise Zino
?
"Your Majesty, may I ask you, how can you let the Ji family go?" Zino did not resist when he was taken away, but before he was dragged down, he used all his strength to shout at Qin Jiyan.
He was the one who dragged the Ji family into trouble, he was the one who harmed the Ji family to this point. He... was the sinner of the Ji family. He didn't expect to save the Ji family, he just wanted to find a way for the Ji family to survive.
"Let the Ji family go? Impossible! Da Qin, Xihu and Northern Qi will no longer have the Ji family." Is it necessary for the Ji family to exist in collaboration with the enemy and the country, colluding with the Changsheng Sect?
"Your Majesty, I beg you...please let the Ji family go. I can help you capture Xihu, but I just ask you to let the rest of the Ji family live." Zino's face was pale, his expression was sad, but he said firmly.
It was his plan that failed, and he was betrayed instead of stealing the country. He deserved death, but the rest of the Ji family were innocent, and many of them didn't know what he was doing.
"If I want Xihu, I can do it myself. I don't need you to do anything." Qin Jiyan disliked Jino even more.
When we first met, Zino was the eldest disciple of the Lord of Yaowang Valley and the heir of Yaowang Valley. He was arrogant and wanton. Although Zino was not lovable at that time, he was not annoying, but now?
Qin Jiyan could be said to be very disgusted with Zino, and even had a worse impression of the Ji family.
Disloyalty once will not be tolerated a hundred times. A family like the Ji family that seeks only profit and puts interests first can betray Da Qin for profit today, and betray its allies to Da Qin in order to survive tomorrow. For such a family, no matter how much money is given to him,
No matter how valuable the benefits are, he will not keep them.
"Your Majesty, with the help of my Ji family, you can capture Xihu as quickly as possible and greatly reduce casualties. Don't you really think about it?" After Zino panicked, he quickly calmed down and looked calm.
Looking at Qin Jiyan, waiting for his answer.
He believed that Qin Jiyan would definitely agree.
Just retaining a few bloodlines from the Ji family would not hurt the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, but what Qin Jiyan got was the most direct benefit.
It's a pity that Zino overestimated his own value and underestimated Qin Jiyan. Qin Jiyan is not a businessman, and he will not make decisions based on the businessman's principle of putting interests first.
National affairs are not a shopping mall where interests come first. Some things cannot be calculated like this.
The Ji family collaborated with the enemy, betrayed the country, and smuggled military supplies. Every crime was true. In the end, the Ji family packed up all their gold, silver and jewelry and prepared to defect to the Northern Qi Dynasty. They did not take Da Qin seriously at all.
What the Ji family did could be said to be a big slap in the face of Da Qin. If Qin Jiyan didn't deal with it seriously, how would he be able to convince the public in the future?
If Qin Jiyan didn't wipe out all nine Ji family clans, how could he serve as a warning to the monkeys?
The Ji family has committed such a big crime and can be let go. Will others take the risk of making bigger mistakes?
If you win the bet, you will gain the world, and if you lose the bet, you will not lose your life. Are those who have some possibility and ambition really not be tempted?
If the Ji family is not severely punished, there will be endless troubles in the future. No matter what price Ji Nuo pays, Qin Jiyan will not let the Ji family go.
"Take the person down, wait for Ji's family to arrive, and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for trial." This kind of case did not need him, the emperor, to personally try it.
"No... Your Majesty, you can't, you can't do this." Zino couldn't believe what he heard.
The conditions he offered were obviously enough to make people's hearts flutter, so why did Qin Jiyan refuse?
Zino desperately broke free from the restraints of the guards, rushed back into the palace, and knelt in the center of the palace, "Your Majesty, please... please let the Ji family go for once. Beiqi, I can help you deal with Beiqi again. I have a fate with the Emperor of Beiqi."
The Emperor of Northern Qi has great trust in me, and I can help Da Qin..."
"That's enough!" Qin Jiyan interrupted Ji Nuo impatiently, "Today, in order to survive, you can betray the third princess of Xihu, who loves you, and the Northern Qi Emperor who treats you as a brother. How will you sell it in the future?
Da Qin? Zino, I don’t believe you, nor do I believe the Ji family behind you.”
"Your Majesty, the Ji family...the rest of the Ji family are innocent, only me...only I am ambitious." Zino knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, his forehead was bruised, and bright red blood flowed down his cheek.
Nou felt no pain.
He was thinking, how did he become like this?
I especially remember that before he was eight years old, he was still an innocent and ignorant boy, but... in that year, he met the emperor of Qin, who is now the Supreme Emperor.
At that time, the Supreme Emperor quietly came to Ji's house, and he hid in the dark and took a peek. He saw his father, who usually never looked at people seriously, and his aloof grandfather, who he never dared to look directly at, groveling in front of the Supreme Emperor.
Flattery, knelt on the ground and kept offering the Ji family's treasures, but the Supreme Emperor didn't even look at him.
Afterwards, the Emperor left the Ji family. Everyone in the Ji family, including his aloof and stern grandfather, who he thought was a god, all knelt on the ground to see the Emperor off without even daring to raise their heads.
After the Emperor left, my grandfather did not get up immediately. Instead, he knelt on the ground for a long time, and he knelt willingly. Afterwards, my grandfather ordered more food and clothes for the whole family, and everyone was given gifts.
That time, he got the unicorn jade pendant from his grandfather that he had always wanted but never dared to ask for.
It was also from that time that he understood the importance of power and that the emperor was the person with the greatest power, and his goal was to be the emperor.
