Chapter 14 - A ray of light

"Kill me! No matter what I say, I won't do anything for you!"

In the bedroom, Cai Jingzhong held his head high and stared at Qin Ying with disdain, with the courage to die.

"People like you who have committed serious crimes should hope to make meritorious contributions, but looking at you like this, it seems that you have no remorse at all."

Qin Ying said slowly while lying on the bench.

He opened his mouth to take a grape handed over by Liu Yunxian, and his palm was very dishonest, causing the beauty in his arms to tremble shyly and blush.

Cai Jingzhong just glanced at him, and his face was full of disgust and contempt.

Qin Ying's eyes were deep. Cai Jingzhong seemed to have an unyielding pride. After Lao Huang pressed his acupoints, he was tortured and in pain, but he didn't say a word of begging for mercy.

It was this kind of iron-willed performance that made Qin Ying plan to learn more about this person.

"This prince intends to give you a chance. If you can make the ink I need, I will speak a few good words for you in front of my father and remove your criminal status. How about that? If you are willing, you can also stay in the palace and I will give you a position."

Qin Ying smiled faintly.

Such conditions are already very good.

Just removing the criminal status is already a great favor from the emperor.

The Han Dynasty has strict laws. Anyone who commits a serious crime will be punished by the nine clans. It is almost impossible for him to turn over a new leaf. Even after death, his crime will be engraved on his tombstone.

Even a true death will not be peaceful and will be infamous for thousands of years.

Such strict laws are a warning to the world.

However, Cai Jingzhong sneered when he heard this, and snorted disdainfully: "As long as there is a tyrant like Qin Mu, I, Cai Jingzhong, will not be a minister in the capital!"

Qin Ying's eyes were slightly cold, "I'll give you face, don't go too far!"

Since they met, Cai Jingzhong has spoken ill of him many times, and Qin Ying could have killed him for any of these times.

Now he dares to insult the emperor, and it's also because of Wutong Garden, Qin Ying's private villa, that there will be no ears behind the wall, otherwise Cai Jingzhong would be dragged out immediately and beheaded.

"Too much? I scolded him a few times, and that's too much? He raided my family without any reason, killed all my sons and grandsons, and exiled all my clans to the frontier. Isn't that too much?"

Cai Jingzhong was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Qin Ying's nose and cursed, "You Qin people are the best at crossing the river and destroying the bridge. I am always looking forward to the destruction of the Han Dynasty."

"You want me to make special ink? It's just wishful thinking! I will feel relieved when Wei destroys your Qin royal family!"

Hearing Cai Jingzhong's fierce and resolute curse, Qin Ying was not angry, but felt that things were getting more complicated.

"Old Huang."

Qin Ying shouted.

Old Huang slowly walked out of the corner.

Qin Ying motioned him to come forward and whispered a few words in his ear. Old Huang nodded, and immediately floated out like a gust of wind.

"Old Huang's kung fu is better than any ninja."

Qin Ying couldn't help but admire.

"Your Highness, what is a ninja?"

Liu Yunxian raised her blushing face and asked softly.

"Hahaha, they are people who are proficient in stealth and strange arts."

Qin Ying laughed and looked serious on the surface, but Liu Yunxian's delicate body in his arms couldn't stop trembling, and her pretty face was as red as blood.

"Vile!"

Cai Jingzhong spat fiercely.

Hearing this, Qin Ying said seriously: "You said that the Han emperor was indiscriminate? What do you mean?"

"Hmph! You can go and ask him. Three generations of my Cai family have worked hard for the Han Dynasty. When the Han royal family was in the most difficult time, my Cai family did not hesitate to spend all our family wealth to help them. What did we get in return? We ended up with a family confiscation and extermination!"

Cai Jingzhong was extremely angry and his heart was broken.

"Your Cai family built armaments for the Han army, but you cut corners and enriched yourself, resulting in the sabers and shields you built not meeting the standards. Do you think you are doing your best?"

Qin Ying narrowed his eyes, "It's a merit, and it's a fault. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, you should be executed for your poor armaments, but you are still alive. Shouldn't you be grateful?"

Cai Jingzhong was filled with grief when he heard this, and tears flowed down his face: "Yes! You have the final say on right and wrong! We are poor at making armaments? My Cai family was a skilled craftsman a hundred years ago, and the weapons we made were well-known to everyone. How could we make such a low-level mistake!"

"Just because my Cai family is from a poor family, you should slander us like this? Don't forget that your Qin family was also a poor peasant six generations ago!"

When Cai Jingzhong was so angry, his chest heaved violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.

But he still refused to stop, because his face was twisted by rage and looked hideous, his voice was full of tears and his words were full of grief and hatred:

"Everyone knows that it was the Wang family who deliberately murdered our Cai family. Could it be that the Han Emperor Qin Mu is blind? He doesn't know what everyone in the world knows! Or does he know it but would rather be in collusion with the Wang family!"

This sharp roar, like a knife, was simply a burst of hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.

The next moment, Qin Ying stood up, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said: "The Wang family you are talking about, is it the Wang family that is one of the five major families?"

Cai

Jingzhong roared: "Which other Wang family could it be!"

Qin Ying frowned even deeper.

The Wang family is now in charge of the entire Han Dynasty's weapon casting industry.

Qin Ying looked at him and didn't seem to be lying.

Could this really be a false case?

If it is true, it will probably shock the imperial capital!

The Cai family worked hard for the Han Dynasty royal family for three generations.

But in the end, they ended up like this.

Wouldn't the people of the world scold the Han Dynasty royal family for being ungrateful?

Qin Ying fell silent.

"Hahaha, isn't His Highness the Ninth Prince eloquent? I heard that you fought that Wei Qingyi to the point of vomiting blood in Huanzhang Academy!"

Cai Jingzhong's face was full of sarcasm. He wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth and said sinisterly: "Why did I choke you so hard today that I couldn't speak? Ah... hahaha..."

The next moment, Qin Ying walked towards him with heavy steps.

Cai Jingzhong raised his head and slowly closed his eyes.

Since he dared to say it, he was not afraid of death!

But the next moment, instead of the butcher's knife, Qin Ying bowed and said in a deep voice: "Master Cai, this prince makes a promise with you! You help me mix special ink, and I will overturn your case!"

Here, he added: "As long as you are really wronged, I, Qin Ying, will give you justice at all costs."

Cai Jingzhong opened his eyes suddenly, his old face full of surprise.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't want you to be hypocritical."

Qin Ying stepped forward again, his tone sonorous: "I swear by my deceased mother, if you are really wronged, I, Qin Ying, am willing to seek justice for you at all costs!"

"You...you..."

Qin Ying's words made Cai Jingzhong not know what to say for a while, his face was full of shock and astonishment, and his old eyes looked at the young man in front of him seriously for the first time.

How could this be?

Cai Jingzhong was sure that no matter which prince he said those words to, he would be punished unimaginably. Even if he was not beheaded immediately, he would be imprisoned in the eighteenth floor of the Heavenly Prison, suffering from darkness and loneliness, and dying of decay.

He never dreamed that the rumored Ninth Prince, who was always a playboy, would not only not blame him, but would take the initiative to overturn the case?

Looking at Cai Jingzhong with a look of astonishment, Qin Ying shouted again:

"I can't bring your family back to life, nor can I erase your pain, but I can let you wash away your grievances and live a dignified life in your lifetime."

Looking at Qin Ying's serious expression, Cai Jingzhong looked confused for the first time.

After a long silence, he murmured in a low voice: "Can I... trust you?"

Qin Ying smiled and said: "Of course!"

Cai Jingzhong's body trembled a little, and he said sadly: "My old life is not important, but I don't want to die with a bad name. My relatives and family are all innocent and should not be stigmatized."

Qin Ying stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Justice may be late, but it will never be absent. Others don't give you justice, I Qin Ying will give it!"

Cai Jingzhong was speechless. Looking at Qin Ying's sincere eyes, he actually felt that there was a ray of light in this dark world.

"The ink used by Ling Daoxuan has a very complicated formula, and the ink needs to be precipitated. The whole process takes about three days."

After making up his mind to believe Qin Ying, Cai Jingzhong didn't say anything else and began to talk about the process of making ink.

Qin Ying smiled and said: "Three days, no problem!"

Three days have passed since the seven-day appointment.

There are still four days left, and there is plenty of time.
