A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1152 - 927 Truth 6 The Greedy Elder Princess

Feeling Li Xu’s gaze, Lu Zezhong hurriedly shook his head and said loudly."Lord Li, don’t listen to his nonsense. I didn’t say anything!"

Intent on proving his innocence, Lu Zezhong was unaware that his very action had turned the tide of the situation unmistakably.

"Lord Lu, feeling guilty, aren’t you?

So anxious!"

As soon as Ji Youzhi shouted this, Lu Zezhong’s face changed, then he promptly retorted, "I’m not, I didn’t."

In his heart, a myriad of curses, including many directed at the ancestors, were aimed at Ji Youzhi and Li Xu.

Xiaosuisui was scribbling while crying... Ji Youze watched the little girl write with tears streaming down her face, her mind filled with the cawing of crows...

He rubbed his temples helplessly. He could only take out all the information she had previously written and, in a tone only they could hear, guide her on how to extract useful information.

Xiaosuisui hugged Ji Youze and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

"Uncle Eight, you’re the best! Why didn’t you come sooner! My hands are about to break from all the writing."

Ji Youze: "..." If he could have come earlier, these people would have had their crimes confirmed long ago!

Meanwhile, Ji Youzhi continued speaking to Li Xu.

"Lord Li, there’s no need to be this anxious. Lord Lu truly confessed, otherwise how could he have been in the Imperial Study since before dawn and still be alive now?"

Li Xu was startled by these words, and Lu Zezhong knew things weren’t good. He cursed openly at Ji Youzhi, "Ji Youzhi, you %%...&&, I didn’t..."

"Shut up!"

The Emperor slammed the table and angrily scolded Lu Zezhong, "From now on, if you say one more word, I’ll confiscate the Lu Mansion!"

As soon as the Emperor spoke, Ji Youze frowned and asked in confusion, "The Lu Mansion hasn’t been searched yet?"

Ji Youzhi replied, "Surrounded, not searched!"

There wasn’t enough evidence against Lu Zezhong. If they wanted to confiscate his property, they’d need solid proof; this was Ji Youzhi’s way of handling cases.

If it weren’t for Ah Da Niu’s testimony, and his own memories, as well as confirming that they found Lu Zezhong’s coachman, verifying he was the one who knocked out Lu Yunsheng and abducted him twelve years ago, Ji Youzhi wouldn’t have dared to risk bringing him here to kneel all day.

"Are you surrounding and not searching, waiting for his accomplices to get wind and escape?"

Ji Youzhi: "They can’t escape, Duke Zhen has already led the Imperial Guard to seal the city gates, allowing entry but no exit."

When he said this, Lu Zezhong’s face turned pale.

Not just Lu Zezhong, even Li Xu felt a wave of panic inside.

"Besides, the group you just encircled, arrest who needs to be arrested, interrogate who needs to be interrogated, the Divine Hunter Station will soon hand over the evidence."

"Divine... Divine Hunter Station..."

Li Xu, being young, slumped to the ground, paralyzed as if his legs had given out.

"That’s right, Lord Li, I advise you to confess honestly!"

"I... what should I confess?"

Feeling a scorching gaze upon him, Li Xu couldn’t help but look towards Lu Zezhong.

At this moment, Lu Zezhong was glaring at him fiercely!

"Youzhi!"

"At your command!"

"Take three hundred Inner Guard and search the Lu Mansion!"

The Emperor immediately wrote an Imperial Decree on the desk and then sealed it with a stamp.

"Yes!"

Ji Youzhi accepted the Imperial Decree.

Eunuch Ling entered, lit the lamps, and only then did everyone realize that it had already become dark outside.

Ji Youzhi slightly curled his lips, the first step, endurance training had begun.

"Your Majesty, the Li Mansion should also be searched."

Ji Youze suggested.

"The Li Mansion, you may go!"

The Emperor handed over the Imperial Decree to search the Li Mansion to Ji Youze.

Ji Youze acknowledged it but didn’t leave immediately.

"Your Majesty, there is a child at the Li Mansion, said to be the Lucky Star of the Great Han, who has been taken as a disciple by the National Master. If I encounter the National Master while searching the Li Mansion..."

"By my decree, the National Master is a reasonable person and will not obstruct you. Youze, proceed as directed!"

Ji Youze departed.

Li Xu knelt before the Emperor, trembling all over.

The Emperor rose, glanced at the three kneeling on the ground, and without saying another word, left the Imperial Study.

Xiaosuisui was bewildered. Why did Uncle Seven leave, Uncle Eight leave, and even the Emperor’s godfather also leave?

She tilted her head, perked her ears, wondering when her aunt had fallen asleep?

And started snoring on the Phoenix Chair?

...?

She looked at the three people kneeling on the ground and then at Princess Lianchun.

"They all left one by one, should I go or stay?"

Pouting, she was confused and lost.
