Chapter 329 Breakaway
When had Bo Yikao ever seen Ji Chang so angry?
For a moment, he was horrified and fell to the ground crying, "I am ashamed of my father's expectations! Father, please calm down!"
Li Qi, who was watching with great interest from outside, immediately shook his head upon seeing this and said, "Marquis Xibo, you insulted the king and cursed his descendants. This is already a serious crime. How can you claim to be innocent? Can you say that everyone in Xiqi can curse your ancestors for eighteen generations, and you won't punish them? This is simply ridiculous. Besides, the young marquis is only concerned for your safety. How can this be considered begging for mercy? What, is worshipping the Supreme Human Emperor considered begging for mercy?"
When Ji Chang heard this, he turned around and looked at Li Qi.
He simply let out a faint "Pah" and said, "I am a commoner, speaking frankly to my superiors. How can I say insults? The people of Xiqi have been deeply influenced by my teachings. Everyone has a sense of justice in their hearts. How could they possibly insult me? Only those who feel injustice and resentment would speak against their superiors! Just like the Great Shang Empire today! Yet, we see public resentment boiling everywhere! Your Majesty, instead of taking this to heart, has imprisoned me. You are truly foolish!"
Li Qi's eyes flashed with anger for a moment.
But then he turned his anger into a smile and said, "I will report everything the Marquis said to the King without missing a single detail."
"Hmph! Just go ahead and tell me! After all, you're a sycophant, how can you keep your word? Go away! Don't pollute my eyes!"
Ji Chang snorted coldly and said something with disdain on his face.
Then he ignored Li Qi, whose face was trembling.
He simply looked at Bo Yikao and said, "Get out of here! Come with me out of this prison. You and I are father and son, and we are both righteous. Why should we be afraid of being killed by the king?"
"Yes! Son, I understand!"
Bo Yikao was so excited after hearing this that he shouted loudly and stood up.
Ji Chang waved his long sleeves and shouted, "Why don't you unlock it for me!"
Li Qizhi was so angry that his eyes twitched and his hands behind his back opened and closed non-stop. He wished he could go up and strangle this hypocritical guy to death!
But in the end he couldn't, so he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Unlock him!"
The chief jailer standing nearby wished he were deaf. How could he dare to listen to such outrageous words?
But he had no choice but to listen again, and his panic only grew worse.
He was sweating all over, and after Li Qi drank what he said, he fell directly to the ground.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
For a moment, the head jailer responded while struggling to stand up.
She walked up to Ji Chang tremblingly, took out the key ring, and searched for the key tremblingly.
Ji Chang said to the jailer in a friendly manner, "Boss Sun, there's no need to panic. Just focus on finding the key. I'm not in a hurry."
"Hide, thank you, my Lord..."
The head jailer gave a smile that was uglier than crying and nodded.
Feeling a little relieved, I quickly found the key.
Then he knelt down and uncuffed Ji Chang, then stood up and opened the handcuffs.
"Sun Tou, thank you for your care these past few days. I believe you are a talented person. If you are interested, you can come to Xiqi..."
After his hands and feet were freed, Ji Chang smiled and patted the head jailer on the shoulder and said something with a smile.
Then he waved his arms and walked out of the prison with his hands behind his back.
Bo Yikao naturally followed closely behind.
The head jailer collapsed to the ground, his whole body limp, and looked at Li Qi with despair on his face.
Li Qi also glanced at the head jailer with a half-smile on his face.
Then he waved his long sleeves and turned to leave.
"I was just mocking you with my words... and yet you hurt me like this... hurt me like this..."
The head jailer collapsed immediately, lying there almost like an idiot, muttering to himself.
There has been no sunlight for nearly ten days.
Ji Chang walked out of the prison and faced the sun.
He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.
"My Lord!"
Outside the Ministry of Justice, the monk surnamed Liang and his group had been waiting anxiously.
Now that they saw Ji Chang coming out, they shouted excitedly and wanted to rush into the Ministry of Justice, but were stopped by the soldiers.
"Oh, it's General Liang Fan."
Ji Chang opened his eyes, took a look, then smiled and raised his hand to greet him, saying, "I am fine, there is no need for you to worry."
Liang Fan responded, "My Lord! I'm glad you're alright!"
"Hou Xibo, please.
Li Qi walked out and stood calmly beside Ji Chang, saying slowly, "I won't see you off!"
Ji Chang turned to look at Li Qi and simply chuckled, "Doctor Li, you are a true talent. In my opinion, you can govern an entire county or oversee dozens of princes without any problem. It's a pity that the king doesn't know how to judge people and has you, a talent like this, in charge of a mere prison."
Li Qi glanced at Ji Chang and said, "Stop talking nonsense. In my opinion, you deserve to die ten times for what you said. It's only because the king doesn't care about you, otherwise the law will not forgive you!"
When Ji Chang heard this, he burst into laughter.
Then he strode out of the Ministry of Justice.
"My Lord!"
Liang Fan and others quickly gathered around, greeting him carefully and looking him over carefully, fearing that the Marquis had been tortured and injured.
"It's okay to be alone."
When he arrived here with this group of people, Ji Chang's composure was completely restored.
With a calm expression, he spoke softly and slowly, "I need to take a bath and change clothes."
"My Lord, it's already prepared!"
When Liang Fan heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "Please get in the car, my lord."
Ji Chang nodded slightly, then was helped onto the luxurious carriage and walked in with a bow.
Then, the group quickly went away.
"Oh, this old dog is willing to come out? I thought he would stick his neck out and refuse to leave."
