C683 The Tides Had Turned and the Tables Had Turned
"Now, Minister Fong only took out a piece of Shadow Stone, and he wants to move it to me? Isn't that too ridiculous? The three Royal Highnesses, the lords, the things inside the Shadow Stone are fake. The me inside is a fake!"
"Ridiculous!" Yue King slammed the table in anger. "Wang Ziqi, you should have ordered and refused to admit your crime at the moment of your death! You are going too far! Men, drag him down and beat him to death!"
"Your Highness Yue King, please stop! Don't you think you are going too far by doing this?" The duke of Langya spoke once again, his voice sonorous and sonorous, "This duke feels that Valiant Marquis's words make sense!"
"Everyone is skilled in the art of transformation. It can be said that it is easy for Valiant Marquis to commit murder and frame someone. Therefore, if you want to use this Shadow Stone, you have to convict Valiant Marquis. This is simply child's play!"
"Duke of Langya, are you trying to cover up for the murderer, Wang Ziqi? Although he is your subordinate's Right Commander, don't forget. First of all, you are a subject of the Truth Sacred Dynasty! Don't forget your own identity! "Yue King was somewhat flustered and exasperated.
"Of course I know my own identity, and I also know my duty. My Blue Bird Guard wants to monitor the world! Now that someone is trying to create a false accusation, I have to intervene!"
The duke of Langya walked out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He was completely unafraid of a member of the imperial clan. "Yue King, what do you want to do? Don't think that I don't know! "
"Alright!" King Lu stood up in time to stop the two princes from pinching each other. He looked at Minister Fong and said, "Other than this Shadow Stone, do you have any other evidence?"
"This official has witnesses." Minister Fong said, "Auxiliary Duke, Censor of Supervision, and the Court of Judicial Review can all testify for this official. In addition, there are also maids and servants who served that day. They can also testify."
Duke Lu nodded and looked at Auxiliary Duke first. "Auxiliary Duke, can you testify for this case? Did Valiant Marquis kill Yu Yao? Is it really as recorded in the Shadow Stone?"
"This official will answer Your Highness's words. This official can indeed testify for Minister Fong." Auxiliary Duke said in an incomparably serious manner, "The things that appeared in the Shadow Stone were indeed true. It was Valiant Marquis who killed and cruelly killed Miss Yu Yao!"
"This official really didn't expect this. This Wang Ziqi is dressed like a scholar and has a dignified appearance. I didn't expect him to be such a beast! Miss Yu Yao is such a good girl. She was cruelly killed by him. She deserves to be punished!"
King Lu indicated that he knew about it. He looked at the other two and said, "Dear ministers, can you also prove that it was Valiant Marquis who killed Miss Yu Yao last night?"
Censor of Supervision said seriously, "This official was present the whole time last night. I saw everything clearly. It was indeed Valiant Marquis who killed someone!"
"I only hate that I didn't see through his real face earlier, which resulted in such a tragic ending. Sigh, my son-in-law first suffered the pain of losing his son, and now he has to suffer the pain of losing his daughter. I am really sorry for him."
The Court of Judicial Review also gritted his teeth. "Your Highness, this official can also testify! Sigh, last night, this official did not expect that this beast would suddenly commit murder. Otherwise, even if he risked his life, he would still stop Valiant Marquis!"
"What's the situation? This official did not do anything, and now he has become an unpardonable beast?" Ji Chen touched his nose and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
King Lu glared at Ji Chen. "Valiant Marquis, please keep quiet! Minister Fong has witnesses and physical evidence now. If you can't produce strong evidence to prove that you are pale, then I will sentence you to a crime!"
"You are a marquis of the Imperial Court, and you are also a Blue Bird Guard and Right Commander. If something like this happens, you will be sentenced to death! You have to think clearly, do you have any evidence to show?"
Yue King looked coldly at Ji Chen, including Auxiliary Duke and Minister Fong. They all thought that Ji Chen was already dead. They even secretly transmitted sound transmissions to celebrate and ridicule Ji Chen.
The duke of Langya was very anxious. He also transmitted his voice to Ji Chen, wanting him to defend himself. Now that the three kings were interrogating him, if Ji Chen did not have any evidence, he would not be able to help Ji Chen. He was truly powerless.
Ji Chen was still calm and composed. He said, "My three lords, you should know that these few victims and witnesses have a deep grudge against me. Of course, they want me to die!"
"This kind of evidence is still very weak. As for the maidservants and servants they mentioned, they are Minister Fong's slaves. They can say whatever they want. "
King Lu shook his head. "Although the evidence of the victim is flawed, you don't have anything that can prove your innocence. If that's the case, I will still sentence you to a crime!"
Auxiliary Duke said arrogantly, "Wang Ziqi, a prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as a commoner, let alone a mere Valiant Marquis like you! I advise you to admit your crime immediately. That way, you might be able to be relieved of some of your crimes! "
"Wang Ziqi, you are seeking your own death!" Minister Fong said angrily, "You will pay with your life if you kill someone. I want you to die with my daughter!"
"Alright, alright. Don't be so arrogant now. Because no matter how arrogant you are now, you will be slapped in the face in a while." Ji Chen said, "Of course I have proof, but it's not the time yet. We need to wait! "
"Wang Ziqi, what do you mean? Are you stalling for time?" Minister Fong felt something was wrong. "Your Royal Highness, please sentence this beast to death immediately. Don't let him use a delaying tactic!"
"Of course Valiant Marquis is not stalling for time, because his evidence has come."
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the main hall of the Ministry of Justice. It shook the entire Ministry of Justice. Then, they heard the Imperial Guard and the guards outside paying their respects to Your Highness.
Obviously, it was a prince. He saw a middle-aged man walking into the main hall of the Ministry of Justice. He had sharp eyebrows and a pair of bright eyes. He had a tall and straight body, giving off a sense of justice.
This man was wearing a royal robe and was wearing cloud boots. He walked in with his hands behind his back. "Greetings, Uncle Wang!"
"Oh, so it's Old Eight. Our child doesn't need to be so courteous." King Lu was very polite to this new prince. There was a smile at the corner of his eyes. "What is it? I heard your voice. You want to testify for Valiant Marquis?"
"That's right. My nephew is here to testify for Valiant Marquis." The middle-aged prince looked at Ji Chen apologetically.
"Ai, last night's Eight Immortals Brew was really too vigorous. Last night, I drank too much and fell asleep until this morning. In the end, I didn't come in time to testify for my nephew. I really feel guilty."
The faces of the four people who were previously complacent changed dramatically. Minister Fong almost became stuttering. "What on earth is going on? King Qi, you want to testify for Wang Ziqi?"
"What? Can't I? " King Qi frowned and berated in displeasure.
The atmosphere of the case had changed. Not only was King Qi a King of the Imperial Family, but he was also deeply loved by the Holy Emperor. He was the only brother of the Holy Emperor who shared the same father and mother!
Back then, the reason why the Holy Emperor had been able to stand at the top in the struggle for the throne was because King Lu and King Qi had put in a lot of effort. Thus, King Lu and King Qi were very special amongst the current Kings!
Take Yue King, for example. Compared to King Qi, Yue King's status and influence were several levels lower, almost incomparable to King Qi's. As such, Yue King's expression was extremely unsightly.
Ji Chen smiled and cupped his hands at King Qi. "Good food is not afraid of being late. Your Highness King Qi has come to testify for this subject, and this subject is already overjoyed."
King Qi said to King Lu, "Uncle Wang, this nephew can testify for Valiant Marquis! Last night, Valiant Marquis had been having a feast in my residence. The guests and guests were all happy and did not leave for a moment!"
"The feast lasted until dawn. At that time, I was drunk. Valiant Marquis had just left, so it was impossible for him to kill Miss Yu Yao in the middle of the night. Because at that time, we were still drinking! "
" The palace maids, eunuchs, guards, and dancers brought from Sleeping Moon Restaurant can all testify. I hope that Uncle Wang will be able to see clearly and not wrongly accuse a good person. "
King Qi's words were different. If even his own testimony was not enough to be trusted, who else could he trust? In a flash, Ji Chen's situation had turned for the better!
Duke Langya was immediately delighted. "Did this duke just say that Valiant Marquis is a young man with great ambitions and extreme intelligence? Why would he do something that would destroy his own future and bring about his own destruction? Hehe, it is obvious that this is a framing! "
"King Qi, can you take responsibility for what you said?" Yue King gritted his teeth and asked, somewhat unwilling to give up.
"Old Fourteen, you are too unruly. You don't even call me Brother Wang?" King Qi coldly glanced at Yue King. "What this king says is true, so of course I can be responsible!"
"What is going on? Could it be that no one believed what Uncle Wang said? Then what about this king? "
Another cheerful voice rang out. There was a long string of big bows at the door, and then a young and handsome young man walked over.

The young man's face was as clear as jade. His long eyebrows reached his temples. He was wearing a silver dragon robe. He had a faint smile on his face. Auxiliary Duke, Minister Fong, and the others felt as if they had eaten an iceberg when they saw him walk in. Even their spines felt cold.
"This lowly subject greets His Highness Seventh Prince!"
A group of ministers were paying their respects. That's right, this was the son of the current Holy Emperor, His Highness Seventh Prince!
"Grandson greets the Imperial Grandfather, two Imperial Uncles, and the Duke." Seventh Prince was very polite, "This king can also testify for Valiant Marquis, because last night, this king was one of the people at the banquet!"
"Haha, actually, I was the one who brought the Eight Immortal Brew. I didn't expect that it would cause me to drink too much in the end. That's why I came late. Fortunately, I didn't delay the big event."
At this moment, even Yue King had nothing else to say. He could only curse at the stupidity of those people in the dark. "You bunch of trash, how could you have such an obvious loophole?"
"There's actually a prince and a prince who can testify for him! Are you guys trying to commit suicide? But if you want to risk your lives, why drag this king down? Damn b * stard, stupid pig!"
Minister Fong, Auxiliary Duke and the others also felt very uncomfortable because they clearly saw that Ji Chen did not leave the house at all. Why were there two big shots here to testify for him?
That shouldn't be the case! The plot was not designed like this! What kind of mistake had happened? These people were completely confused, but Ji Chen had already turned the tables and revealed a meaningful smile.
