After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 192 Gong Bin is no longer the same as before

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Ji Kang did not appoint the two chief judges, but instead asked a rookie to try him.

Yuan Qing looked around and asked him, "Is it me?"

"Yes, it's you." Ji Kang said, "Apart from you, no matter who else comes, I won't say a word."

Chen Xingwei was eager to get himself out of this matter, and now that Ji Kang took the initiative to suggest that Gong Bin come to interrogate, he was naturally happy to do so.

Zhong Xiao looked at Ji Kang, then at the two people beside him, and nodded, "Then let's all go out first."

Only Yuan Qing and Ji Kang were left in the prison.

No one spoke first. Whoever can keep calm in this silent game will gain the upper hand.

Ji Kang stared at him for a long while, then suddenly asked, "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

Yuan Qing didn't intend to speak.

She knew that Ji Kang was a shrewd man, and if she took the initiative to talk to him, she would be put in a passive position.

In the past, when a criminal was interrogated, in addition to the presiding judge or the jury, there must be another person to follow and take notes.

This is also to prevent the judges from abusing their power for personal gain, making false confessions, and causing the prisoners to suffer unknowingly.

However, Zhong Xiao did not assign her a recorder, which meant that no matter what she found out during the trial, it would not count according to the law.

Today was just a private confrontation between her and Ji Kang, to test each other's bottom line, which served as an appetizer.

Yuan Qing did not bring any paper or pen, he only wore his official robe and sat face to face with Ji Kang.

Seeing that he could face his pressure at such a young age without being affected at all, Ji Kang knew that this young man was much more powerful than he had imagined.

In fact, he had never met Gong Bin, and many rumors about him were still about the young man from the Gong family who was living in the market.

Most of my impressions came from secret letters from my master.

At that time, the master's attitude towards Gong Bin was unclear.

Ji Kang understood what his master was thinking.

There are only two possible outcomes: one is being an enemy, the other is being a friend.

If you regard him as an enemy, the best strategy is to kill him before he becomes fully grown.

If he wants to use him for his own benefit, he must find the weak points between Gong Bin and the emperor, cut off their interest relationship from the root, and pull him into his own power.

Ji Kang had handcuffs on his hands, which made clanking sounds when he moved.

The emperor seemed to trust Gong Bin very much.

He did not directly give him an official position, but placed him at the lowest position, suppressing and training him step by step.

This road seems dangerous, but it is extremely stable.

The emperor had such good intentions, perhaps he was planning what would happen after his death.

If what he expected was true, the emperor might not be alive long.

If they could get Gong Bin over, it would be like planting a hidden chess piece next to the emperor, and this hidden chess piece would be more important than the chess pieces they usually placed.

The Gong Bin of today is no longer the same as before. They see something different in him that is different from other chess pieces.

If used well, it can overthrow the imperial power and seize the throne in one fell swoop.

However, there were no clear instructions from above, so he could only wait and see.

Ji Kang put the handcuffs on the table and repeated his previous question, "Is there really nothing to ask?"

Yuan Qing finally spoke: "If I ask, will you answer?"

"That's hard to say," Ji Kang leaned back in his chair, "It depends on what you're asking."

He was not afraid at all, as if the hardships of the past few years were not worth mentioning to him, and only the shiny and beautiful skin was lost.

Yuan Qing looked at him and asked directly: "How much do you remember about what happened nineteen years ago?"

"I remember everything that happened nineteen years ago," Ji Kang lowered his head, a dull laugh spilling from his throat, "because I planned it all."

He spoke frankly and without reservation.

"I have plenty of time, I can spend it here with you." Yuan Qing knew that he would not easily confess, and was willing to beat around the bush with him, "You can think about it slowly, I'm not in a hurry. After all, that happened 19 years ago, so there's no need to waste a little time."

"I can, but there is a condition." Ji Kang suddenly put away his relaxed look, put his arms on the table, leaned forward, stared at him and said, "I want to see Princess Yi of Rongguo Mansion."

How could Rong Yi possibly meet him? !

He is clearly looking for trouble!

Yuan Qing frowned when he heard this and immediately stood up and was about to leave.

Ji Kang behind him said slowly: "This is my only condition. It's up to you whether you agree to it or not."

Yuan Qing walked to the prison door and stopped suddenly without looking back.

She said, "I know you want to delay, but you have to be clear that you are the prisoner now. I am not forcing you today because I want to give you a chance to reform. Now it seems that you don't need it."

Listening to Ji Kang's still steady breathing, she suddenly felt evil. "Of course, it's your business whether to confess or not. As for what to get out of you, that's my business. After all, there's no one else present. When the rumor spreads all over the capital tomorrow, do you think your master can still sleep peacefully?"

She flipped the lock, and the loud clanging of metal echoed in the cell.

"You can guess how many secrets of yours I have in my hands."
