"This is the list I investigated. Of course, the biggest mastermind behind that miscarriage of justice back then cannot be listed here." As he said this, Feng Ji's eyes suddenly dimmed.
He lowered his gaze, his eyes filled with unconcealed resentment.
He vowed to avenge the Libei King's family, and he knew from the beginning who was the mastermind behind this injustice. Even so, his secret vow remained unchanged.
He vowed revenge and would never let anyone go, not even the mastermind who couldn't be on the list.
Because of his mother in his early years, there was little father-son affection between him and Feng Guche. Later, the foolish and jealous Feng Guche killed the loyal King of Libei and the woman he loved, and he had long since lost all affection for him.
Over the years, his reputation as a ruthless war god and his carefree attitude of not caring about worldly affairs have made Feng Guche both fearful and helpless towards him, leaving him with no choice but to completely ignore him.
But in Feng Ji's heart, he never forgot what he wanted to do.
Mu Chenshuang naturally understood what Feng Ji meant just now, but when she suddenly saw Feng Ji's expression change, she was touched. She wanted to ask something but didn't know how to ask, so she could only remain silent.
A moment later, Feng Ji loosened his clenched fist and met Mu Chenshuang's questioning eyes. In that instant, he seemed to see the beloved woman who had always been so quietly by his side, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
Feng Ji looked away, gave a bitter smile, and continued with a forced smile, "We won't discuss those who aren't on the list for now."
"As for these people, none of them will escape!" Feng Ji said through gritted teeth.
"Princess, you can just take a look at this list. Leave the rest to me." Feng Ji pulled himself out of his thoughts, softened his tone, and looked up at Mu Chenshuang.
Mu Chenshuang nodded, took the document, and quickly glanced at it. She couldn't remember all the names of some of the minor officials, even when she matched them with their faces. However, she immediately remembered the name Zhu Qin in the first line.
This Zhu Qin is quite adept at changing his allegiance to those in power. He first worked for Chengtianjian under Feng Guche, but when Feng Guche fell from grace, he and the entire Chengtianjian betrayed Feng Guche and defected to Feng Mozhan.
Thinking of Zhu Qin, whom I had met at the Chengtianjian a few times before, with his arrogant and domineering demeanor, he probably really thought that no matter how the emperor of Tianzhao Kingdom changed, he could always sit firmly in the first seat of the Chengtianjian and be responsible only to the emperor.
This is a good opportunity to make Zhu Qin realize the truth, and also to settle the debt with him for possibly persecuting the original owner's mother, Xie Changqing!
After reviewing the roster, Mu Chenshuang handed it to Feng Ji and expressed her concerns.
“Your Highness, my concern is not only that Feng Mo Ran might slip through the net during his handling of this case, but also that he might not only protect some treacherous officials, but more importantly, he might use this opportunity to repeat his old tricks, persecute loyal officials, and eliminate dissidents.”
Mu Chenshuang's words made Feng Ji, who was collecting the roster, pause. He looked up abruptly, seemingly surprised and enlightened.
During this period, Feng Ji was indeed preoccupied with revenge and how to bring all the perpetrators of those wrongful convictions to justice. He overlooked the fact that if Feng Mo Ran wanted to, she might take this opportunity to escalate the situation.
