Upon hearing this, Jiang Boyang raised his hand to stop his daughter and the family members: "What the King of Wu said is correct. I believe the court will give me justice!"
Jiang Luofu immediately became anxious: "Father!"
Jiang Boyang shook his head slightly: "My reputation cannot be ruined here. When the three judicial departments hold a joint trial, I will explain everything to the Emperor and Empress."
Having been in charge of the law for many years, he was quite confident in his ability to debate, especially since the Empress was a wise woman. He believed that by frankly stating the pros and cons, he could persuade her.
“But…” Jiang Luofu felt that something was wrong and wanted to remind her father, but she knew that her father was always upright and would never change his mind once he made up his mind.
Seeing this, the King of Wu gave them no chance to react: "Take him down!"
Soon, the soldiers put shackles on Jiang Boyang. These shackles were developed by the imperial court to deal with experts. They were engraved with various spirit-locking formations. Once shackled, his cultivation was firmly locked, and he became an ordinary old man.
After the soldiers bound Jiang Boyang and brought him to the camp, King Wu looked at Jiang Luofu with a strange expression: "Come on, take down all the Jiang family members. If they resist, kill them without mercy!"
Jiang Boyang's expression changed drastically: "Didn't you just say that you would only arrest me and that a decision would be made after I explained myself to the Emperor and Empress?!"
King Wu scoffed, "Lord Jiang, are you joking? You've committed the heinous crime of treason! You've been in charge of the Court of Justice for so many years, surely you know what a serious crime treason is?"
Jiang Boyang's expression finally changed. How could he not know the consequences of treason? It would not only result in the confiscation of property and the extermination of the clan, but in more serious cases, it could even lead to the execution of nine generations of relatives!
“But without a joint trial by the three judicial departments, my crime is still undetermined. You cannot treat the people of the Jiang family like this.” Jiang Boyang argued forcefully. You should know that he had surrendered just now because he was worried that resistance would give the other party an opportunity to fabricate charges against him. Normally, as long as an official of his rank cooperates, the court will give him a certain degree of respect.
Who would have thought that the King of Wu would disregard the rules so completely!
"The charges are still undetermined? The Emperor and Empress have already issued an imperial edict, so how can the charges be undetermined?" Prince Wu sneered. "The Jiang family is plotting a rebellion. We will only arrest members of the Jiang family, and it has nothing to do with others. If they resist stubbornly, they will be punished as accomplices!"
Jiang Boyang felt a chill in his heart. Although this guy was arrogant, he was not stupid. This series of combined punches was truly dismantling the Jiang family's will to resist and their ability to resist.
As expected, upon hearing his words, the guards of the Jiang family hesitated. Although they all had a duty to protect the Jiang family, each of them had a family, parents, wife and children, and a lot of weaknesses. So how could they act impulsively?
Seeing that the guards had laid down their weapons, King Wu smiled smugly. He had gained experience in confiscating people's homes these days and had a firm grasp on their mentality.
"Despicable!" Jiang Luofu shouted, and several pencils shot out from in front of her. The soldiers around her father groaned and fell to the ground.
She flew rapidly toward her father, her slender whip leaving a trail of afterimages. Anyone struck by her armor shattered, clutching their wounds in agony.
King Wu's face darkened: "Hmph, they dare to resist! The people of the Jiang family are indeed plotting a rebellion. Come, capture them! Kill any who resist!"
"Yes!" His experts rushed straight towards Jiang Luofu and the other members of the Jiang family.
Jiang Luofu immediately felt the pressure increase. She was about to rush to her father's side, but she was getting further and further away from him under the attack of many masters.
The other party reacted so quickly, as if everything had been rehearsed. How could she not know that she had fallen into the King of Wu's trap?
The other party was clearly deliberately deceiving and inducing them to act irrationally in their rage, so that they could then justify their killing.
Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do. No matter how much she could tolerate it, once the other party had made up their mind, they would always do something irrational.
She even suspected that the other party would not bring her father back to the three judicial authorities for joint trial, but would instead execute him secretly, then have him commit suicide out of fear of punishment, thus solidifying the charge of treason.
She comes from a family with a strong academic background, and her title in the academy is that of a Lawyer, so she is naturally very clear about the sordid methods used in prisons.
She now had only one thought: to save her father first, and then return to the academy.
The academy was like her second home, and it had always been aloof from the world in the empire. Moreover, it was now Azu's territory, so these guys probably wouldn't dare to mess around.
Once my father's life is saved, the other major families should have realized what was happening, and they will speak up for the Jiang family.
It's important to know that the Jiang family has marriage alliances with various other families. The eldest brother is married to a woman from the Pei family, the second brother is married to a royal princess, and the third brother is married to a daughter from the Yu family. Regardless of the relationship, they will not ignore them.
Even so, she was still somewhat uncertain.
It's important to know that the Liu family's power was far greater than that of the Jiang family back then, and the Liu family also had marriage alliances with various major families. However, they were wiped out overnight. Those families that had marriage ties with the Liu family quickly severed ties with them, either announcing the engagements or having Liu family children commit suicide, all in an effort to protect themselves.
However, even if all these families abandon the Jiang family, there is one person who will definitely help her.
A figure appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Back then, the other person was a student I had to take care of, but I never imagined that in just a few years, they would grow up to the point where they could protect me.
Her thoughts were racing, but her movements didn't slacken in the slightest.
The sticks flew everywhere, and leg techniques were also used.
Anyone stepped on by her high heels would have a bloody hole appear on their body, and the bleeding would be unstoppable.
