Chapter 142 Soul Power
When Jiang Xing passed through the Meridian Gate, Ji Cheng's beheading had been completed, and Ji Xiangli had also been beaten with a stick in the court.
But many scholars and common people seemed to be still unsatisfied and still gathered here, talking endlessly about the heinous crimes of Ji Cheng and the Ji family.
Lu Xuan watched the entire execution process of the Ji family father and son here. When he saw Jiang Xing coming out, he hurried to greet him.
"Looks like today went well!"
Jiang Xing thought of the suspenseful morning today, and then looked at the soft yet tough face in front of him, and a warm and peaceful feeling that made him fascinated emerged in his heart.
An idea suddenly popped up in his mind that he had never believed before.
This world is so exciting; this moment is so beautiful that he wants to treasure it.
As long as the person in front of him is there, he will be at peace.
His heart warmed up along with the sunshine, and he suddenly had the urge to go forward and hold her in his arms.
However, it was a clear daytime, not a pitch-black night, so he still held back.
Lu Xuan got into the carriage first, and Jiang Xing got in right after.
Lu Xuan couldn't contain his excitement. "When I saw Ji Cheng being dragged out earlier, I knew we had succeeded! I just didn't expect that even Lord Ji could be dismissed from office. This is a pleasant surprise!"
Jiang Xing's eyes were fixed on her lively face, watching her excitement with doting eyes: "After all, if such a big thing were to happen and she were still an official, I wonder what kind of commotion those scholars and common people the princess would cause!"
Lu Xuan nodded. "Sister Xu spread the news yesterday afternoon, so early this morning, those common people and scholars came here filled with righteous indignation!"
Jiang Xing tilted his head and asked her, "So, did you arrange for Huang Zhiwang to go to the villa after I left?"
"Yes!" Lu Xuan said with a smile, "As soon as the prince left, I sent someone to deliver a letter to Huang Zhiwang. Isn't he specifically in charge of Ji Cheng's case? With his status, he can mobilize the Dali Temple soldiers to investigate the Ji family without being stopped. Fortunately, he acted quickly!"
"When he brought some of the corpses and gold into the palace, he walked through the streets and alleys. Half the people in the city saw it, so more and more people got involved in this matter!"
Jiang Xing couldn't help but pinch her face: "Princess is really smart!"
When he touched her, Lu Xuan's body stiffened.
The person who was dancing with excitement just now immediately lost his expression.
After a while, the atmosphere returned to its former quiet and cold state.
Jiang Xing suddenly felt that he was impulsive!
He showed a very unnatural smile and said indifferently: "The skin is very good!"
Lu Xuan was speechless.
When it comes to discussing serious matters, his playboy temperament comes out again.
But at the same time, it feels strange.
I actually didn't reject that just now!
She was worried that Jiang Xing would do more to overstep the bounds. Even though her ears were red, she still said in a cold voice, "Your behavior is so frivolous, I won't do it again!"
Jiang Xing lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, not knowing what he was thinking about, and did not answer her.
The thoughts in the carriage were complicated and intertwined.
Jiang Xing opened the curtain, and outside the window, he saw Shen Xingcan and Lu Xiao wandering in the crowd!
I don’t know what Lu Xiao said, but it made Shen Xingcan angry again. He pouted and was angry alone.
Jiang Xing's eyes flashed with fire, his throat rolled for a few moments, and suddenly he turned back and looked at her solemnly: "A Xuan, this king..."
"Your Highness has disturbed my interest just now!"
Before he could finish his words, she interrupted him immediately.
She knew what he might say, and to avoid that terrible consequence, it was better not to say anything.
She was now afraid to hear him call her Axuan, afraid that the layer of paper would suddenly be broken.
I’m afraid there won’t be enough space to accommodate the awkwardness between the two of us.
She would eventually go find Shen Yuanci.
Some things, if not guided by divine will and should not be started, are all delusions.
Jiang Xing was in low spirits. His chest was filled with a bunch of burning words, but he was still choked by the silent atmosphere. He pursed his lips and swallowed them.
She is hiding.
He discovered it a long time ago.
Why? Do you hate him? Or is it just not the right time?
But he never fails to get what he wants.
He will not compromise.
Lu Xuan broke the silence: "The Ji family was stripped of their official positions and titles, but it seems that the emperor did not confiscate the Ji family?"
Jiang Xing nodded: "After all, Empress Ji is still alive. The emperor can't be so cruel to the Ji family. Apart from the gold in the other manors, the houses, properties, and wealth have not been touched. Therefore, the Ji family is still rich!"
Lu Xuan pouted in dissatisfaction: "If it happened to anyone else, this would be a heinous crime punishable by extermination of all nine generations of the clan!"
As he spoke, Lu Xuan suddenly felt something extra in his palm.
It’s Jiang Xing’s jade pendant.
"Yuan Fang came out today."
Lu Xuan played with the jade pendant and was not surprised. "I specifically unsealed it this morning. My goal was to get him out at the critical moment. I planned to scare Ji Cheng and force the truth out of him."
Jiang Xing smiled and said, "But it was actually used on Sun Xiaoyue. Sun Xiaoyue helped to give false testimony, and Yuan Fang must have been furious."
Lu Xuan: "I placed a truth talisman on you because I expected someone to lie, so I activated the talisman behind it!"
Jiang Xing thought about it and decided to tell her about the abnormality: "But something is strange today."
Lu Xuan's eyes moved: "Strange?"
"He chased after Sun Xiaoyue and kept pestering her. Then, Ji Xiangli suddenly became speechless, and at that moment, Yuan Fang immediately returned to the jade pendant. Looking at him, it even looked like he was running away!"
Lu Xuan's mind seemed to flash with some important news: "You said, Ji Xiangli suddenly became speechless?"
Jiang Xing nodded solemnly. "After his crimes were exposed, Ji Xiangli was depressed for a while, but then he became furious. But after just two shouts, he immediately became like a demon, clutching his throat and unable to utter a word. He looked so furious, yet he couldn't utter a single word. I could tell from his expression that he was cursing. Don't you find it strange?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but wonder, "But I heard from many people that Ji Xiangli screamed a lot while he was being beaten with the stick! In the end, he was beaten half to death and had to be carried back to the mansion."
The two thought about it for a long time but did not come up with an answer. Instead, they felt that the mystery before them became bigger.
Lu Xuan rubbed the jade pendant on his palm: "Today has a good result. I should let Yuan go. I will ask him again when I go back!"
……
After leaving the palace and heading east, the carriage soon arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion.
Lu Xuan took Uncle Yuan to the main hall.
She carefully placed the jade pendant on the Eight Immortals Table and recited a spell, and Yuan Fang's soul immediately came out of the jade pendant.
"Master!"
Lu Xuan's gaze fell on him with a look of relief: "You are probably the most complicated grudge that this Sect Master has resolved so far."
Although Yuan Fang was extremely satisfied with the outcome, a layer of sadness still stained his face because of Sun Xiaoyue's matter: "Thank you, Sect Master and the Prince, for redressing my grievances. Sect Master, this is a great favor that Yuan Fang will remember for the rest of his life!"
Mr. Yuan didn't bring the talisman with him today, so he didn't see him in the hall.
Seeing Yuan Fang, his eyes immediately filled with indignation: "Son! You've been wronged in this life. That Sun Xiaoyue is a black-hearted person. She was only after wealth from the beginning and never treated you sincerely!"
As Old Man Yuan spoke, he began to sob: "It's not worth it for such a person! What a pity, you studied hard all your life, but you sacrificed your life for the father and daughter of the Sun family! Otherwise, you would have been a high-ranking official by now..."
Lu Xuan interrupted Old Man Yuan's wailing: "Old Man Yuan, for Yuan Fang, all this is just the past. Don't mention it again!"
She looked at Yuan Fang again and said, "I have another question for you today. In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, why did you sneak into the jade pendant as if you were running for your life? What did you see?"
Suddenly, Yuan Fang's gray and black body seemed to be falling apart.
Only then did Lu Xuan realize that after Yuan Fang came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, his soul power had actually become very weak.
