Chapter 118: Snatching People
For three consecutive days, the Yongyi Marquis's mansion was immersed in the sound of monks chanting scriptures, and Qin Fengyuan and Qin Beiyuan went to Kaifeng Mansion every day.
At first, Qi Zhan used the excuse that there was something else going on to evade the Qin Fengyuan brothers and refused to let them see Shangguan Jing.
Later, Jiang Jinhou got involved.
Qi Zhan couldn't stand the pressure, and had no choice but to tell Qin Junyi that when Qin Fengyuan and his brothers and Jiang Jin came, he planned to let them meet Shangguan Jing and settle the case.
Qi Zhan just wanted to put the pressure on Qin Junyi.
When Qin Junyi asked Qi Zhan to delay for another day, King Wei appeared.
"Young Marquis, please tell me the exact time so that I can be prepared. Lord Jiang and the Second and Third Masters Qin put pressure on me every day, and I really can't resist it anymore." Qi Zhan said helplessly.
Qin Junyi was about to say something when a constable came up quickly from outside.
"Sir, the King of Wei is here."
When Qi Zhan and Qin Junyi heard about King Wei, their faces changed.
The former immediately walked out quickly to greet him.
The latter straightened his collar and walked out with a gloomy expression.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty." Qi Zhan felt extremely miserable. He hadn't gotten rid of the plague god Qin Junyi yet, and now he had welcomed another giant Buddha.
The situation was critical, and Qi Zhan felt that the leaves in the yard were rustling.
The man's steps were steady and powerful, his purple robe awe-inspiring. He stood in front of Qi Zhan, making Qi Zhan feel even more oppressed.
"Master Qi."
Qi Zhan immediately stood up and looked into the eyes of the King of Wei who was standing in front of him. Perhaps because of the backlight, the King of Wei's facial features looked more delicate and profound in the shadows.
"I wonder what the prince has come here to tell me." Qi Zhan immediately lowered his head, thinking that he was truly the late emperor's biological son. The nobility of his lowered brows and deep eyes was something that the prince did not have.
At this time, Qin Junyi also came out.
"Your humble servant greets the prince." Qin Junyi bowed and saluted.
The King of Wei looked at Qin Junyi quietly and said, "So the young marquis of Yongyi's mansion is here too. Could it be that he's here for the matter of the second young master of the mansion?"
Qin Junyi was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Just in time." The King of Wei chuckled. "I came here to find the murderer who killed the young marquis's brother."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Junyi and Qi Zhan were both shocked.
"What do you mean?" Qin Junyi asked.
At this time, Chang Ning, who was beside the King of Wei, spoke up: "Your Highness suspects that the murderer of the young marquis's brother is related to the Shangguan family who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country back then."
"What?" Qi Zhan exclaimed. As if realizing he had overreacted, Qi Zhan asked nervously, "The Shangguan family collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?"
This, this...
The corners of King Wei's lips curled up slightly: "I will take him away."
"Yes, yes, yes." Qi Zhan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. What's the connection? "I'll take you there. I'll take you there."
Qin Junyi's face changed slightly. He wanted to stop Qi Zhan, but he also knew that if he showed any abnormality at this time, people would suspect that he had any connection with the Shangguan family who were collaborating with the enemy and committing treason.
Collaboration with the enemy and treason, what a serious crime.
Chang Ning, along with the guards, followed Qi Zhan towards the prison.
The King of Wei noticed that Qin Junyi's expression was not right and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong with the young marquis?"
When Qin Junyi was about to say something, Jiang Jin also appeared.
"Your Highness?" Jiang Jin took a closer look and realized it was indeed the King of Wei. He immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, your humble servant greets you."
"Lord Jiang is here too." Although the King of Wei was smiling, his expression was cold. "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Jin stood up.
His gaze fell on Qin Junyi, and his tone darkened: "You've been hanging around here every day, but there's been no progress. Why don't you let your second and third uncles see the murderer?"
Qin Junyi lowered his eyes and said, "Uncle, while the prince is here, let's not talk about those things."
Jiang Jin thought about it and his expression changed a lot when he looked at King Wei: "Your Highness, I hope what I said did not pollute your ears."
In response to Jiang Jin's cautiousness, the King of Wei simply smiled faintly: "No problem, this king knows about the second son of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion. Lord Jiang just wants to pay the murderer's life for his."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin nodded repeatedly and asked cautiously, "Your Highness came to Kaifeng Mansion, is it...?"
King Wei glanced at Qin Junyi and said, "Yes, there are some things."
Jiang Jin pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and didn't dare to ask more questions.
About a cup of tea later, Qi Zhan came rushing over.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is coming too." Qi Zhan was terrified. The King of Wei and the Crown Prince were vying for someone, which was really difficult for him. "The Crown Prince also wants to take Shangguan Jing away."
Prince Wei's eyebrows moved, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Really?"
