The Prime Minister's Boastful Little Husband

Chapter 161

Seeing that things were turning around, His Highness Ninth Prince said domineeringly, "Listen, you have to help me."

Ji Jingli leaned back on the chair and looked at His Highness Ninth Prince at leisure.

"Several bandit leaders in Pingyang County were deserters from the battlefield. You must know this," His Highness Ninth Prince began to describe what he had found.

Seeing Ji Jingli nodding incomprehensibly, he continued, "These people were brought to Beijing and only needed a simple interrogation before they could be imprisoned for questioning. They probably knew that they would not escape death, so they wanted to atone for their sins. Confess an old story."

"These bandits were originally soldiers of the former prince."

"It concerns the former crown prince. The Ministry of Punishment did not dare to take action or conceal it, so it reported to me." His Highness the Ninth Prince paused, "Back then, the former crown prince led his troops to conquer the country in person. Forced by the situation, he had no choice but to lure the enemy with his own body. He never thought Seeing that the situation was not right, these bandits decisively deserted."

"According to what they said, when they fled to the top of the mountain, they happened to see their brother leading dozens of men and horses to lead the enemy to the canyon. They were just waiting for the soldiers in ambush in the canyon to kill the enemies in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, one of their own people suddenly turned against the enemy and turned against his brother's men. He launched a fierce attack, and his brother was attacked from both sides. His men tried their best to cover his evacuation, and finally used their flesh and blood to tear a hole through the enemy's siege and break out of the siege. "

"In that battle, only my brother survived, and he was seriously injured. What happened next is what we know. After my brother woke up, instead of thoroughly investigating the news of the mole in the army, he was placed in a coma while he was unconscious. The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.”

Speaking of this, His Highness Ninth Prince's eyes were scarlet and he said with hatred, "Father, based on the defeat and a few letters of treason and collaboration with the enemy and the country that were suspected to be written by my brother, he ruthlessly ordered the execution of my brother."

His Highness Ninth Prince clenched his hands. He recalled that when he first learned about this incident, he was so angry that he rode into the palace late at night to meet his father. He was bound to seek justice for his brother who died unjustly.

But on the way to the palace, he suddenly stopped.

He now only has the confessions of two bandits, and the unsubstantiated confessions are not enough to convince his father that his brother was wrongly accused.

Moreover, it was the people from the Mingquan Division who discovered that his brother had committed treason. The Mingquan Division belonged to his father and only took orders from his father. If we want to thoroughly investigate this case, we will undoubtedly need our father to admit to the world that he made a mistake. Considering everything in the past, our father's attitude towards his brother is very suspicious.

In the days that followed, His Highness Ninth Prince would always test his father inadvertently. The more he tested, the colder his heart became.

He gradually understood that as long as his father was in power, he would never be able to reverse his brother's case.

Because of his elder brother, he knew in his heart that his father could not make him the crown prince, so he had to find another way out. The biggest beneficiary after his brother's death was King Huan. King Huan's hands must have been stained with his brother's blood. After thinking about it for a long time, only Ji Jingli had the ability to compete with King Huan, and only he would help him.
