Kapitel 303: Cannot Let the Son Go on His Way Alone

Capital.

Qing Feng returned to the Capital and on the first day, he sealed off the Duke of Jin's residence with the Black Armor Guard. As expected, Duke of Jin had long fled without a trace. Unperturbed, Qing Feng instructed the Surveillance Court to investigate the noble families allied with Duke of Jin. The next day, he marched through the city with the Black Armor Guard, beating drums and announcing to the entire populace that Duke of Jin had poisoned and plotted against the Emperor, as well as attempted to assassinate the Prince and Princess—a heinous crime indeed.

Unable to capture Duke of Jin, Qing Feng intended to make his son bear the blame instead.

Upon hearing this, the people were astonished, "Wasn't Noble Jin Prince already dead? How can he bear the blame?"

Qing Feng chuckled, "It's simple—dig him up and whip the corpse. Since Prince Yu's whereabouts are still unknown and the Emperor has already shown mercy, there's no decree of exterminating nine generations."
