Chapter 95 Court Meeting
Jia Mu and the others were stunned and realized that they had done something stupid.

Grandmother Jia hurriedly said

"Go, send the coffin back quickly."

The three were shocked and frightened, and hurriedly took the coffin out of the palace.

As soon as the coffin was sent back to Zhang's house, it was no longer possible to hide the fact that Jingzhao Yin had been murdered.

The news spread throughout the city in an instant, and Jia Hu's name became famous in the capital for the first time.
But this reputation is hard to describe.
Killing my uncle, my cousin, and Jingzhao Yin is unbelievable and terrifying.
I never thought there would be such a vicious person in the capital.

The Jia family became famous, and everyone's eyes turned to the Jia family. Some were gloating, while others were worried.

Those civil officials were already rubbing their hands, ready to impeach the Jia family; they had long been displeased with the nobles.

The nobles were worried, but they did not dare to come to the Jia family now. They were all waiting for the emperor's decision.

They were already thinking about how to plead for mercy. The incident had become so serious.
Even if the Jia family is not completely destroyed, it will suffer serious damage, and it is possible that the Jia family will be completely destroyed this time.

In the palace, Emperor Qianwen looked at the pile of memorials in front of him, his face full of helplessness.
All of them were memorials impeaching the Jia family and Jia Hu. Impeaching the Jia family was nothing.
But Jia Hu really didn't dare to act rashly now.

"Xia Shouzhong, have you found out clearly? Why would Jingzhao Yin go to find Jia Hu?" Emperor Qianwen asked in a deep voice.

Xia Shouzhong said quickly
"Your Majesty, it was because Jia Rong from Ningguo Mansion went to report the case, and Lord Zhang accepted the complaint."

Emperor Qianwen was stunned for a moment, then he understood Jingzhao Yin's thoughts, secretly cursed him as an idiot, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Go, tell Lu Ming to arrest Jia Rong and send him to prison.

Those who dare to harm my ministers deserve to die." He was obviously venting his anger on Jia Rong.

Xia Shouzhong hesitated for a moment after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Jia Rong is the only one left in Ningguo Mansion.

If he is arrested, Ningguo Mansion will be destroyed.” He did not say the word "afterwards", but looked at Emperor Qianwen worriedly.

Emperor Qianwen sneered
"That's better, don't you think two Duke's Mansions are too many?"

Xia Shouzhong was startled. His Majesty had never liked the Jia family in the first place, and after what happened with Jia Hu, he hated the Jia family even more.

After Xia Shouzhong left, Emperor Qianwen slowly exhaled, his eyes deep.
Suddenly he took out an imperial edict, pondered for a moment, and began to write.
He paused several times, seeming a little hesitant.

But he finally finished writing it, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he stamped it with the seal.

The next morning, Emperor Qianwen sat on the throne, his face seemed calm.
The civil and military officials below looked at each other, and there seemed to be sparks flashing in the air.

Emperor Qianwen had already gotten used to this scene.

Suddenly, an imperial censor stood up.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Rongguo Mansion. The Jia family failed to discipline their children strictly and allowed their children to commit crimes.
Killing the elders of the clan is disobedient and unfilial, and killing ministers in the court is a capital crime."

Niu Jizong stood up immediately

"Humph, that Jia Hu had already changed the family tree, what does he have to do with Rongguo Mansion?
What is the crime of allowing the child to commit a crime? At most, it is a crime of lax supervision. "

Another censor stood up

"Haha, General Niu is wrong. What if the Rongguo Mansion knew something was wrong and hurriedly changed the family tree?"

Niu Jizong's face changed. "You are talking nonsense. How could Rongguo Mansion do such a thing?"

"How is it impossible? Don't forget, no matter how you change the family tree,
That Jia Hu is also General Jia's illegitimate son, the bloodline cannot change, like son, like father." Another imperial censor stood up and sneered.

How could Niu Jizong and his men be a match for the civil officials in terms of their verbal skills? They were choked and speechless, and the nobles looked extremely ugly.

Emperor Qianwen frowned. The civil officials were loyal to him. He had hoped that the civil officials would suppress the nobles and military generals.

But today he doesn't want the civil officials to win, as it would be difficult to end the situation then. Can he still send people to capture Jia Hu?
His eyes glanced at Prime Minister Li who was standing in front of him.
Prime Minister Li smiled bitterly. He couldn't understand why His Majesty wanted to save Jia Hu. Didn't he dislike these nobles the most?

"Ahem." Prime Minister Li came out. The censors were certain that with this man out, they would surely win.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is unusual. Jia Hu is just a half-grown child.

How could he kill so many people? I'm afraid there must be something else going on." Li Shoufu bowed solemnly.

"Uh..." Everyone looked at Prime Minister Li with astonishment.

I wonder if I had heard it wrong. How could he say good things about the Jia family?
The nobles also opened their mouths wide and looked at Prime Minister Li as if they had seen something strange. Did the sun rise from the west?
Emperor Qianwen suddenly nodded and said
"Well, the Prime Minister is still mature and prudent. Yes, I think so too."

Everyone was even more shocked. What did this mean? Is His Majesty trying to excuse the Jia family?

The three censors turned pale, looked at Prime Minister Li, then looked at Emperor Qianwen,

I understand what His Majesty means. I have misunderstood the emperor's intention. They looked at each other and retreated silently.

The nobles were confused. What was going on? Didn't His Majesty dislike them?

Prince Beijing Shui Rong, who was standing in front, frowned, looked at Emperor Qianwen in surprise and doubt, and fell into deep thought.

The atmosphere in the hall was strange. Suddenly, Prince Zhongshun, who had been standing next to him, jumped out.
"Brother, there is definitely something fishy about Jia Hu. Why don't we arrest him and interrogate him first?"

The ministers all looked at Prince Zhongshun with a strange look in their eyes.
Does this dude prince have a grudge against the Jia family? His Majesty has spoken, but he still refuses to give in.

It was true that Prince Zhongshun had some grudges against the Jia family.
But what happened inside is not something that can be told to outsiders, and he certainly doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

Emperor Qianwen narrowed his eyes and looked at Prince Zhongshun, his heart slightly moved.
Opportunity, the opportunity to deal with Prince Zhongshun, he was sure,

If Prince Zhongshun dared to provoke Jia Hu, Jia Hu would kill him without hesitation.

If Prince Zhongshun died, then my father would only have me as his son.
Will I be able to act more boldly in the future? Thinking of this, I became more and more interested.

"Zhongshun, if I send you to capture Jia Hu personally, would you dare to go?" Emperor Qianwen suddenly became serious and asked indifferently.

Prince Zhongshun didn't expect it to be so smooth. Didn't the emperor want to save the Jia family just now? Why did he agree now?
The others were also stunned, confused by Emperor Qianwen's ever-changing attitude. What was he doing? Was he playing?

"Brother, I will definitely catch Jia Hu." Before he finished speaking,

Suddenly there was a sharp sound outside.
"The Emperor has issued an order," Prince Zhongshun was interrupted.

Everyone was startled and turned to look over.

Emperor Qianwen even stood up directly, with an expression of doubt and surprise on his face.
