Jiang Yuan naively believed that Lao Jiu would not betray him.
But this time, he miscalculated!
Old Jiu raised his head and slowly said, "That's right, it was Jiang Yuan who threatened Wang Zhimin and made Wang Zhimin frame Zheng Honglian. Moreover, I can testify that Jiang Yuan and Huang Haifeng have a long-term business relationship. Mayor Ai has been wronged!"
"Furthermore, I want to report that the Jiang family has been illegally amassing a million soldiers and sending them abroad as mercenaries for training! In recent years, the Beiye military has been short of funds, so they have set their sights on the oil fields in Harbin. Mayor Ai was framed by them for trying to stop their illegal mining!"
boom!
The scene instantly erupted in excitement; the entire courtroom was practically in an uproar!
"My God, what exactly is the Jiang family planning to do?"
"wild ambition!"
"Is he trying to seize power and become emperor?"
"This family is terrifying!"
"Therefore, Mayor Ai is innocent!"
"Boss Zheng is innocent too. Such a good person, yet he has been treated so unfairly!"
"hateful!"
Without a doubt, public opinion is on the side of Ai Changqing and Zheng Honglian.
With Lao Jiu's confession, not only was the truth about Ai Changqing's case revealed, but the Jiang family's wolfish ambitions were also exposed.
In fact, some people already knew about these things.
But given the Jiang family's status, who would dare say anything?
Even a high-ranking official would need a catalyst to handle this matter.
Today's public trial is an opportunity!
It's easy to imagine that the Jiang family's future will be bleak!
"Ninth Brother, you, you actually betrayed me?" Jiang Yuan slumped into a chair, gritting his teeth and glaring.
He simply couldn't understand why Lao Jiu would do such a thing.
"What good will it do you if the Jiang family falls?" Jiang Yuan was furious, but also somewhat confused.
Old Nine sneered and shook his head, "You're wrong, I've never been a member of the Jiang family!"
As Li Huai's servant, Lao Jiu remained loyal to the Undead Clan from beginning to end.
If the undead race wanted him dead, he would absolutely not dare to live!
Therefore, when Li Nan crippled his martial arts, he did not resist at all.
He knew that Li Nan wanted to sacrifice him in exchange for the peace of the entire Undead race.
Therefore, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to obey Li Nan's orders.
Now, as the final stone to bring down the Jiang family, he has completed his mission!
"After the trial, the truth of Ai Changqing's case has come to light. This court hereby declares that Ai Changqing and Zheng Honglian are acquitted and released on the spot. Jiang Yuan, Wang Zhimin, and Lao Jiu will be sentenced at a later date according to the severity of their crimes!"
Snap!
Feng Jiu's gavel fell, and everything settled down.
City Hospital.
In the ward, a woman with her head wrapped in gauze and another with her eyes wrapped in gauze were both overjoyed and wept, hugging each other and cheering.
"Dad... your name has finally been cleared! The young marshal was right!"
"Mom, your innocence has finally been cleared, waaaaah!"
The two women hugged each other and sobbed again.
This is tears of joy!
...
Yandu, the Jiang family.
Snap!
A blue and white porcelain teacup was smashed hard on the ground.
Jiang Cheng's face was terribly gloomy!
"That brat from the Lin family, he's gone too far! He's gone too far!!" Jiang Cheng roared like a madman.
"Master, please calm your anger!"
The steward and his trusted confidants all knelt on the ground.
"Send a message to the second brother: immediately occupy Guanzhong and send troops outside the pass!" Jiang Cheng said angrily.
"Master, you mustn't!"
The old steward suddenly stepped forward. Knowing that Jiang Cheng was in a fit of anger, he quickly advised, "Master, our Jiang family has become the target of everyone's criticism. With the conclusion of the Ai Changqing case, our Jiang family can no longer maintain its moral high ground! Even the other major families will not stand on our side! Now that the Fengtian Army is powerful, our Jiang family alone cannot resist it!"
"What are you afraid of!"
Jiang Cheng looked disdainful and said arrogantly, "My Beiye has a million-strong army and the ace Blood Wolf. Do you think we are afraid of the mere Feng Army? Besides, the main force of the Feng Army is not in Guanzhong. Guanzhong is sparsely populated. As long as we occupy Guanzhong, we can further control one-third of Fengfu's territory, completely pinning down the Feng Army in the northeastern hinterland, and at the same time, we can keep a watchful eye on Yandu!"
"Pang Wensheng has long wanted me to reduce the size of the Beijing Field Army! Now that he has a reason, it's only natural that he'll do it!"
"Instead of waiting to be slaughtered, it's better to strike first!"
“Since ancient times, the victor is king and the loser is villain! Truth is only within the range of cannons! As long as I, Beiye, control the throat of the North, I’ll see who dares to do anything to me! Even Pang Wensheng will have to bow down to me!” Jiang Cheng said arrogantly.
Now that things have come to this, there is no turning back; he has decided to go all in!
The old steward hesitated for a moment, "Master, you should think this through. You yourself said it's all about the victor and the vanquished. If we raise an army and something goes wrong, we..."
"No need for further words!" Jiang Cheng waved his hand dismissively. "My mind is made up! Inform my second brother that we will take Guanzhong within three days!"
...
As the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Cheng always meant what he said.
Even his second brother, Jiang Tao, obeyed his every command!
Soon, at the Kitano headquarters, Kitano Commander Jiang Tao received his brother's orders.
"General Jiang, are we really going to attack Guanzhong?"
His generals appeared somewhat nervous.
After all, the strength of the Fengtian Army was not just talk. Once the fighting started, there was no turning back. The North Field Army and the Fengtian Army would be completely at war, and regardless of the outcome, the result would be extremely tragic.
Jiang Tao's eyes flickered as he said, "This was my elder brother's order, what could I do! Now my nephew is in the hands of that Lin fellow, and this time he has ruined the reputation of our Jiang family! If we don't get our revenge, how can our Jiang family still have the face to be one of the eight great clans!"
