The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

The incident that happened to the Imperial Guard today, I'm afraid there will be a major investigation. Before the results of the investigation come out, the commander of the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guards present today will be in trouble.

At the very least, they would be imprisoned, and at the worst, they might be beheaded. Everyone looked at the army surrounding them in horror, with anger and despair welling up in their hearts.

They hated the killer who took advantage of the loophole, and they hated the person who sent the killer even more.

As the white-robed army took control of the scene, two or three hundred court officials were surrounded by them, including several princes.

Everyone looked at Jiang Fan in horror, with a bad premonition in their hearts.

Especially Ye Ren and other court officials who were attached to the prince, a feeling of despair surged in their hearts. They were afraid that this time they would be in trouble.

They were in trouble because of Jiang Fan's scheme. Ever since Jiang Fan brought the three prisoners back to Beijing, he had probably been plotting against them.

They were lured into the game step by step. It's ridiculous that they still don't realize it and just foolishly got involved.

The Ministry of Justice’s request for the release of the person was the beginning of Jiang Fan’s counterattack. If the Ministry of Justice did not ask, Jiang Fan would not have let Emperor Yan close the case in front of the city gate.

They had never expected that Emperor Yan would agree to such a frivolous request. But considering Emperor Yan's love for Jiang Fan, it was not surprising that he would agree.

It can only be said that they did not expect Jiang Fan to play so unconventionally, so erratic and unorthodox. They even thought of closing the case at the city gate.

They even took the opportunity to stir up public opinion and put them in the spotlight, leaving them no room for opposition.

Then, Jiang Fan actually calculated that they would assassinate him and lured them into silencing him. What terrified them was that Jiang Fan not only calculated the assassination once, but also predicted it twice.

One step ahead, every step ahead. The development of all things seemed to be proceeding little by little under Jiang Fan's guidance.

In such a situation, how could they not feel fear and despair!

As Jiang Fan took control of the entire situation, he waved his hand and three people came out from the hundred white-robed soldiers who came out the second time.

When seeing these three people appear, Ye Ren, several court officials and several princes' pupils shrank sharply. The Sixth Prince clenched his fists, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

The three people were none other than Zhao Jingzhong, Ye Shixuan and Hou Qinglin. They did not expect that Jiang Fan would hide someone among the white-robed soldiers who had just escorted the prisoners.

If no one kills the person, the fake criminal will be replaced and the real criminal will appear.

With Shadow and fifty palace masters in front of Emperor Yan, who else could assassinate the three prisoners?

Jiang Fan's plan is simply perfect to the extreme, and there won't be any mistakes!

It's ridiculous that they thought Jiang Fan would just let them control him, but they didn't expect that Jiang Fan would play with them in the palm of his hand.

When Emperor Yan saw this scene, a look of approval appeared on his face. He nodded to Jiang Fan, looking even more satisfied.

My son is really amazing. Everything is under his control.

Escorted by the white-robed soldiers, the three men came to Emperor Yan and knelt down.

Zhao Jingzhong was the first to speak: "The guilty minister Zhao Jingzhong pays respect to Your Majesty. I want to expose the Sixth Prince Jiang Zheng. I colluded with the Red Lotus Cult in Hejianzhou, all under the instructions of the Sixth Prince!"

"Your Majesty, I, the guilty minister, Ye Shixuan, pay my respects to you. I report that the Left Prime Minister Ye Ren, the Minister of Revenue Huang Zhenren, and the First Prince Jiang Yi instructed me to cooperate with Zhao Jingzhong in Hejianzhou to embezzle grain taxes and put the blame on the Governor of Hejian, Su Yuanguang..."

"The guilty minister Hou Qinglin reported the Third Prince and the Minister of Justice Guo Zhen! The guilty minister was instructed by them to cooperate with Ye Shixuan and Zhao Jingzhong to embezzle the grain tax of Hejianzhou and put the blame on Su Yuanguang..."

The three of them spoke one after another and presented their confessions with both hands. Finally, they said in unison: "We, the humble officials, have presented the evidence of our crimes and the list of officials implicated. Please examine them carefully, Your Majesty!"

On the way back to Beijing, the three of them still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts. Although they had promised Jiang Fan, they also hoped to turn things around.

However, their hopes were shattered in the two assassination attempts just now. They saw with their own eyes that the people they were sent out were killed on the spot twice.

While they were terrified, they also felt hopeless and filled with deep anger.

They tried their best to help their master, but in the end they almost ended up dying. How could they be willing to accept this?

At this moment, they have completely given up. Even if they die today, they must drag down those ungrateful people who want to kill them.

As soon as the three of them said this, the eldest prince, the third prince, Ye Ren, Huang Zhenren, and the Minister of Justice Guo Zhen collapsed to the ground instantly.

Although, for them, there was still a lot of room for rebuttal regarding the accusation made by Zhao Jingzhong and the other two, after two assassination attempts, this room was gone!

The Sixth Prince was calm, not as nervous as before. He just stood there quietly, as if he was watching from the sidelines.

Even when other people gave him strange looks, he pretended not to notice.

When Emperor Yan heard Zhao Jingzhong suing the Sixth Prince Jiang Zheng, he was shocked. He turned to look at his low-key sixth son. He could never have imagined that the person behind Zhao Jingzhong would be him.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have never done this. Please investigate!" Ye Ren reacted and knelt on the ground to protest his innocence, regardless of the pain on his buttocks.

At this time, he must never admit it, even if there is absolute evidence proving that he did it.

If you admit it, you will die. If you don’t admit it, you still have a chance to survive.

After all, he was the right prime minister of the dynasty, and Emperor Yan would never kill him at will. As for others, it is hard to say!

Huang Zhenren and Minister of Justice Guo Zhen knelt on the ground and cried out for justice.

However, Emperor Yan looked at them coldly and threw the evidence in his hand away. He said coldly: "Unjust?! Do you think the evidence in my hand is false?"

The evidence submitted by Zhao Jingzhong and the other two was irrefutable. Not only did they have the facts of their crimes, but there were also witnesses. As for the physical evidence, it was the account book. This was what Jiang Fan had found from the residence of the three people.

The grain taxes they embezzled over the years and the material exchanges between them and the Red Lotus Cult proved that many officials were involved.

Of course, these evidences may not necessarily be able to really convict Ye Ren and others, but as long as Emperor Yan is willing, he can kill Ye Ren and others at any time.

Ye Ren and the others were still trying to speak, but Emperor Yan shouted coldly, "Come here, arrest Ye Ren and the other criminals, and take the eldest and third princes back to the prince's mansion to await their fate."

Having said this, Emperor Yan looked at the Sixth Prince and said coldly: "Jiang Zheng, do you have anything to say?"

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince looked towards the Emperor of Yan, and immediately knelt down and said, "Father, I am innocent. Father, you know me well. I never made friends with court officials and always kept a low profile. Zhao Jingzhong is trying to pick on me, and I am really ashamed."

"Please, father, make the decision for me and clear my name. I am willing to be imprisoned and let you decide for me."

The Sixth Prince looked pitiful at this moment, as if he really didn't know about this matter.

Although he was exposed by Pan, he also knew that there was no way to prove his guilt based on the evidence in Zhao Jingzhong's hand.

After all, he did not have any direct dealings with Zhao Jingzhong, and everything was done by his subordinates.

Even the money transactions did not reach the prince's palace or his hands.

At this moment, he seemed relaxed.
