Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 453: To rest —-2
" More importantly you did not explain the reason why you attacked Concubine Qin and the Queen ?" Zhai Tianyu spoke to the man who was now pushed to the ground causing Official Qin and the entire crowd standing on the hunting ground to turn around and look at him with surprised looks in their eyes.
Even Liu Hui Ying turned and stared at him with a questioning gaze which seemed to be asking him what was going on in his head but just like how Liu Hui Ying did not look at him before, he did not look at her this time because this time Zhai Tianyu knew that he had to face this problem alone.
Not only for himself but also for the imperial city. At this juncture if he was to let go of his persona then even if Ji Yang was captured the rest of the Ji family will surely make things difficult for him, maybe they might even rebel.
He needed to make sure that the Ji family will never get an opportunity to rebel, not before his army was strong enough to take them down along with most of the important figures removed from their position.
"That's right, if you don't have any proof then this is simply slander!" Ji Yang was glad that he had brainwashed Zhai Tianyu for so long, if not then he would definitely be in trouble. " If you want to blame me then you need evidence! Who knows what happened years ago?
In fact, if you ask me you are only making things difficult for me because you are not satisfied with the position and benefits that you got from the Ji family and nothing more!"
Official Qin turned silent upon hearing those words, in fact, the second he was caught. He already knew that he will not be able to get away from the punishment handed by the Emperor, after all, even if he was in the right, he had no proof.
If he did then he would not have resorted to this tactic either.
Liu Hui Ying looked at Zhai Tianyu who had an aloof expression on his face and did not comment on his actions, she was in no position to ask what was going on in his head. She calmly glanced at him before turning her head to the side, there was no change in her expression as she looked ahead.

" Take official Qin away, Zhen will deal with him upon arriving at the imperial city," as Zhai Tianyu spoke, he turned to look at Zhai Heng who nodded and then walked forward to get hold of Official Qin who seemed to have lost the strength to fight anymore.
He allowed himself to be dragged away while Zhai Tianyu turned to look at Ji Yang. Though Ji Yang knew that he was not in any trouble at the moment, he still felt his heart jump when Zhai Tianyu turned to look at him with a subtle look in his eyes.
Though that look only stayed for a few seconds, it was enough to make Prime Minister Ji stiffen and his heart jump a beat as he opened his mouth and then said, " I … I am innocent, your majesty. That man must have come up with this plan because he was dissatisfied with me and nothing else. I swear I have never done something as lowly as acting as a pimp."
" Be that it may, you were still blamed and accused, my dear prime minister Ji. I believe that you should stay at home for a month and try to reflect on your actions for the time being," Zhai Tianyu did not forget to offer a stick after he allowed Ji Yang to take a bite of the candy.
His words seemed to be spoken lightly and no one could sense anything amiss after all, with such a big thing happening it was already good enough that Ji Yang was still sitting in the position of the prime minister without being shaken up.
But Ji Yang who knew the in and out of the imperial court knew better, even though Zhai Tianyu did not show his dissatisfaction on the surface he was clearly upset with him, after all, being sent to reflect for a month was similar to getting suspended from his job.
If he was pushed to stay at home then what will he do? How will he regain control of the imperial court, what's more, Liu Dong Ming will surely make use of this opportunity and make trouble for him!
' All those families I spent time to suck up to will surely distance from me after this,' even though he was still the right prime minister with this incident taking place even if he was not proven guilty, the tag of a 'pimp' will still be attached to him.
Back then he did not think that a small matter like sending the wife of a seventh-rank official would make such trouble for him, in fact, he thought that as long as he was careful nothing will go wrong. But who would have thought that the daughter of Old Master Qin would fall for that bastard?
In fact, if that Official Qin had acted in a manner which showed his internal thoughts even once, he would have definitely cleaned him up but the man acted smartly. He not only married Madam Qin without a fuss but even gave birth to two children which caused him to lower his guard—— what was more, he was great at sucking up which made Ji Yang really satisfied with him.
Never did he think that he will be betrayed like this!
" Your majesty…" Ji Yang did not wish to give up like this, he wanted to fight some more but Zhai Tianyu raised his hand and then stopped him from speaking, " The honour of my father has been stained by you and Official Qin, I do not know whether what he said was the truth or whether it was just a personal conflict between the two of you but your actions has caused great distress to me.
I hope you will put this matter to rest now, prime minister Ji."ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
