Chapter 13 Wishful thinking
At this time, the third prince and the fourth prince were standing on the bank of the long river of time, and the air was filled with a lot of water vapor condensed by time. It was a bit difficult for them to stand here with their cultivation base.
The two of them walked upstream together. The long river of time is vast, and each drop of water represents a certain period of time in a certain area. It is tantamount to a dream to find a specific drop of water in the long river of time. Fortunately, the two are in Qingcheng.
The two went upstream again and found Jiang Yixing's blood sacrifice to the child's time droplet, but the two of them had limited magic power, so they could only see what happened three years ago, and it would be difficult to see clearly any further.
In the past three years, Jiang Yixing sacrificed blood to children every year, from the late Yuanying period to the peak Yuanying stage. The numerous bones beside the altar have already explained the problem.
Things are already obvious. Jiang Yixing practiced the magic way. After the incident, Patriarch Jiang and City Lord Zeng joined forces to cover up the evidence.
From the moment they entered the long river of time, the outside time was frozen for the two of them, so in the eyes of everyone, the two princes appeared immediately after disappearing, without even a breath.
"I have found out this matter. Jiang Yixing did not practice magic, and Zeng Chengzhu did not destroy the evidence. Are you two satisfied with this conclusion?" The third prince stood in the air, looking down at Jiang Li and Yuan Wuxing, and the fourth prince stood aside, silent.
As a supervisor, not speaking means agreeing with what the third prince said.
As soon as the third prince said this, Patriarch Jiang and others knew that the matter was settled, and they began to plan how to revenge Jiang Li and Yuan Wuxing.
Jiang Li pointed at the slightly trembling man in black in a relaxed tone: "It doesn't matter whether the two of us are satisfied, but I'm afraid this brother doesn't agree with the results you gave."
Yuan Wuxing saw that the black-robed man showed signs of anger, so he quickly hid behind Jiang Li.
Hold your thighs, don't be ashamed.
"Two embarrassing guys, hurry up and get out of here!"
The grand and tyrannical aura centered on the black-robed man, sweeping in all directions. There were many cultivators who transformed spirits, but they couldn't see the depth of the master of this aura.
The familiar voice rang in the ears of the two princes, like thunder on the ground, so frightened that they almost couldn't control the aura in their bodies and hit the ground directly.
Fortunately, both of them reacted very quickly, and quickly landed in front of the man in black, kneeling neatly on the ground.
"The sons and ministers refer to the father."
Zhou Huangjizhi lifted her hood with a sneer: "So you still have me as the emperor in your eyes."
When everyone saw this, they immediately knelt down and shouted long live. Yuan Wuxing hesitated for a moment, then knelt down too.
Patriarch Jiang and the others who were kneeling on the ground were shivering, their backs felt cold, why is the Holy One here? Why stand on Zhang Li's side? Why is the tone so bad?
There are signs that things are going against them.
Except for Zhou Huang Jizhi, only Jiang Li remained standing in the audience. Everyone was suspicious, but no one dared to speak. The third prince felt ashamed, so he wanted to preemptively divert Zhou Huang's attention.
"Bold, Zhang Li, you didn't even kneel when you saw your father!"
"Let me ask you, what did you see in the long river of time." Zhou Huangji stopped asking.
The third prince hesitated and did not speak, but the fourth prince was less afraid, and replied: "Father, there are many people here, can you let me report after I go back?"
"There is nothing shameful, just say it here, in front of everyone, and cover up your secrets every day. I don't remember teaching you like this!"
The fourth prince hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The third brother and I saw Jiang Yixing's blood sacrifice to a child practicing magic, and Patriarch Jiang and City Lord Zeng were colluding to cover up the evidence."
"Why are you lying? Do you know that once Jiang Yixing is let go, these two people will fall into endless revenge, and even the bones may not be left behind?" Zhou Huangji only pointed to Yuan Wuxing who was kneeling on the ground and Jiang Li who was watching the show, right when Jiang Li was really only in the Yuanying stage.
"My son was worried that Jiang Renhuang would be involved in this matter, which would be detrimental to the country and Jiang Renhuang. Considering the overall situation, he chose to conceal it."
"It's a good one who thinks about the overall situation, but I don't know that Si'er's overall view has surpassed mine." Zhou Huangjizhi sneered, "Tell me, what kind of overall view makes you do things that damage the country's destiny?"
The fourth prince said everything he knew and speculated.
"The Renhuang practiced the way of magic, and you speculated about this thing? Imagining Jiang Renhuang's behavior in the world is completely different from the facts."
The fourth prince was also broken, and said something that he would never dare to say: "Father, why can you be sure that Jiang Renhuang did not practice magic?"
Falsifying in going back in time, the third prince knew that he was not destined for the throne from now on, so he also said: "Jiang Yixing is the cousin of the Human Emperor. Without the permission of the Human Emperor, Jiang Yixing dares to practice magic?"
"How can I be sure? Just because Jiang Renhuang personally arrested Jiang Yixing and sent us for trial!" Zhou Huangjizhi was so angry at the two stupid sons that he laughed.
Obviously, the truth can be revealed just by asking him, but the two stupid sons insist on making random decisions in areas they are not familiar with.
"Jiang Renhuang believes that Dazhou is a country ruled by law, and that any crime can be judged fairly, but what have you guys done? You deceived your superiors, formed gangs, and tried everything you could to cover up Jiang Yixing's affairs. Do you know that Jiang Renhuang watched our monkey show in Dazhou for ten days!"
Zhou Huangjizhi's last words were almost roared out. The fairy beast Xiezhi condensed by the fate of the country was looming, roaring silently. The third and fourth princes had never seen such an angry father.
Wait, Jiang Renhuang arrested Jiang Yixing?
Everyone suddenly realized that Zhou Huang's words seemed to contain a lot of information.
"Brother Ji calm down, the past few days are worthy of reflection, I didn't take it as a drama. If the person who applied for time regression was not me, but an ordinary person, how could he still be treated like this? Brother Ji, there is still a long way to go to govern the country by law." Jiang Li sighed.
He showed his original face, and there were exclamations one after another.
People are in awe of Zhou Huang Ji Zhi, and they respect Ren Huang Jiang Li.
People in Qingcheng are so familiar with this face that they can see the bronze statue of this face as soon as they enter the city.
The third prince froze in place, full of rebuttals to his father, all of which turned into running water and never returned.
With Yuan Wuxing's ability, it is impossible to find Jiang Yixing. Jiang Li captured Jiang Yixing and sent him to the government. This fact in itself shows that Jiang Li didn't know about it before, and he never practiced magic.
It turned out that helping Jiang Renhuang keep it a secret was just wishful thinking.
