Chapter 357: Killing one's relatives for the

sake of justice Emperor Mingxi calmed down and murmured, "I am still wondering. We have sent secret guards to monitor the Jiang Mansion, waiting for Master Jiang to escape and arrest him immediately."

"But until now, there has been no news of his escape. I didn't expect that he would bring his family to the palace on his own initiative."

Debao said in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, it was not Master Jiang who brought his family. He fainted and was carried here. It was Madam Jiang and Jiang Zhiyuan who brought him here."

When everyone heard this, they all showed a look of surprise.

[Oh my God, what explosive news is this! ]

[Master Jiang was brought into the palace by Madam Jiang and Jiang Zhiyuan! What's going on? Is Jiang Zhiyuan awake? 】

Xia Miaoyuan was startled and could not help but sit up and listen carefully.

At this time, the second prince was surprised: "What! That means Jiang Zhiyuan is awake?!"

Debao nodded: "That's right, I see that he is in high spirits, as if he has recovered."

Emperor Mingxi waved his hand: "Call the three of them in!"

Soon, Madam Jiang and Jiang Zhiyuan walked in and saluted Emperor Mingxi.

Behind them, two eunuchs carried Master Jiang in on a stretcher.

Everyone stretched their necks to look at Master Jiang on the ground, only to see that he had a wound on his forehead, his breathing was steady, and he seemed to be still asleep.

"Jiang Zhiyuan, you finally woke up?" Emperor Mingxi asked first.

Jiang Zhiyuan raised his head and answered respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, I have recovered as usual now."

Emperor Mingxi looked at Jiang Zhiyuan with interest: "Why did you come to the palace with Master Jiang and Madam Jiang today? Are you asking for beheading?"

"Your Majesty, I came to the palace today to report a shocking event to Your Majesty."

Everyone's heart tightened when they heard the words "shocking".

At this time, Madam Jiang echoed: "Your Majesty, we came to the palace today to kill our relatives for the sake of justice. For the sake of Daxia's country, we mother and son decided to kill our relatives for the sake of justice and expose Master Jiang's selling out of the country!"

Although Madam Jiang was a woman and over fifty years old, she said this with a strong voice.

Emperor Mingxi couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this.

At this time, Xia Miaoyuan in the warm pavilion was already excited. [Hahahaha! To kill one's own relatives for the sake of

justice, could it be that the old lady has already told him about Jiang Zhiyuan's life experience? ] [So the mother and son decided to kill their own relatives for the sake of justice and kill Jiang Taishi, their cheap father! ] [Oh, it's super interesting to think about it. ] [Old man Jiang, you used your son to convict, and today your cheap son exposed and reported you, you really deserve it! ] [As the saying goes, fortunes change! ] Although Prince Jin and Xiao Licheng, who were present, could hear Xia Miaoyuan's voice, they didn't know the secret that Jiang Zhiyuan was not the biological son of Jiang Taishi. Hearing Xia Miaoyuan's complaints at this moment, his heart was like a thousand horses galloping. He had to force himself to suppress his emotions and managed to keep a calm face. Emperor Mingxi calmed down and said sternly: "If you have anything to say, just say it." Jiang Zhiyuan raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, my father pushed all the blame on me back then. I am innocent." "I dare not say that I am law-abiding and honest, but I am definitely not guilty of the death penalty. Most of what I did was instructed by my father." "I have evidence for all this and I can present it later." "I was imprisoned with my father back then. I didn't have any disease." "I don't know how my father got a drug that can make people unconscious, put it in the food, and tricked me into eating it. That's why I fell into a coma." "He took advantage of the fact that I was unconscious and unable to speak, so he pushed all the blame onto me." Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes were red when he said this. Emperor Mingxi nodded slowly: "Okay, I will find out about your father and son's affairs." At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan glanced at everyone in the room, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face. "Why?" Emperor Mingxi asked. "What I am going to say next is a shocking thing, Your Majesty..." Emperor Mingxi immediately understood what Jiang Zhiyuan meant. He wanted him to clear the room and only talk to him. He said in a gentle voice: "Everyone here is my trusted minister, you can talk as much as you want." [Hurry up and speak! It's so annoying to be so hesitant! 】 After Jiang Zhiyuan finished listening, he calmly took out a piece of deerskin from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and presented it to Emperor Mingxi. Debao took the deerskin slickly and presented it to Emperor Mingxi. He took the deerskin in his hand and looked at it carefully, and asked in confusion: "What is this?" At this time, Xia Miaoyuan was full of curiosity. He was no longer satisfied with listening through the curtain. He tiptoed down from the couch, opened the curtain a little, and looked out quietly. 【What is it! Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious. 】 Jiang Zhiyuan said slowly: "Your Majesty, this is a treasure that my father has kept privately for more than ten years." "It is related to the national treasury of Daxia, the country of Daxia, and tens of millions of people!" "It is a mineral map within Daxia." Emperor Mingxi was shocked and couldn't close his mouth: "What did you say? This is a mineral map?!" Jiang Zhiyuan looked ahead with a sharp gaze: "Yes, what the sinner said is all true, not a single word is false." "Since my father climbed to a high position and mastered great power, he has been spending money lavishly." "Fifteen years ago, there was a desolate village in the northwest. The villagers accidentally discovered iron ore while digging a well. The local officials wanted to report it to the court and get a reward." "But before the matter was reported to the court, one of my father's subordinates learned about it and told him about it in order to please him." "My father immediately suppressed the mine, expelled the villagers, and sent his own people to guard the place." [Oh my god! Master Jiang is so brave! ]

[All the mines in Daxia belong to the imperial court, how dare he take them for himself!]

This part was not described in the original book, and Xia Miaoyuan only just found out about it.

She was stunned and her head was numb when she learned that Jiang Taishi had secretly occupied the iron mines.

Everyone present was also stunned.

"Then, over the next ten years, four more such incidents occurred one after another, and my father followed suit."

Emperor Mingxi suppressed his emotions and pretended to be calm. He looked at the map carefully and saw that there were indeed five red circles on it.

In other words, one red circle represented a mine.

He asked in a deep voice: "Did Master Jiang secretly mine these five mines?"

Compared with the others present, Jiang Zhiyuan seemed particularly calm. He said calmly: "Your Majesty, please allow me to tell you one by one."

"These five mines have always been my father's top secret. He has never told us mother and son."

"What my mother and I know is only known after repeated investigations. My father is greedy for money and did want to mine privately."

"He also hired miners to mine. But these five mines are large in number and rich in minerals, and mining is not easy."

"Therefore, my father's mining has not been smooth."

"Later, my father and I were convicted and imprisoned, and I was in a coma. The Jiang family was seriously injured, and even if my father wanted to open the mine, it would be impossible."

"But at this time, my mother discovered a huge secret."
