236 Investigate the Emperor

” What do you mean by this, your majesty?” Ji Yang was truly surprised when he heard Zhai Tianyu say that he has already looked for someone to investigate the case of Liu Fei Fei’s death as far as he knew the investigation of such cases fell under the hands of Ji Mo and the rest of the crime investigation department. ” This the responsibility of the investigation department then why——”

” Because I realised that even the worthy and capable investigation department can make a mistake, everyone knows what happened with my aunt and even though I want to leave the matter in the hands of the investigation department I do not wish to do so,” Zhai Tianyu knew that this was going to bring him a lot of trouble, he was supposed to be the puppet king. If he started to act now then the two families will truly try to get their hands on him, they might even start investigating him, which might not be beneficial for him but——

If he does not stand up now then there was a chance that he will lose something more important, Liu Hui Ying’s involvement in the case cannot be denied. If the Ji family as targeting the Queen then there was a chance that they will try to get Liu Hui Ying implicated in this matter.

When Zhai Tianyu refused the crime investigation department to investigate Liu Fei Fei’s death Ji Yang was stunned, he could not believe his ears. It was as if the pet dog that he has been raising for so many years finally decided to turn around and bite him when he raised a stick to hit him.

What happened to the Emperor, didn’t his sister say that she has taken care of Zhai Tianyu for a very long time and that he wouldn’t dare to go against her and the Ji family? Not now not ever? Why was it that Zhai Tianyu was now refusing him?

Ji Yang was not happy with the rejection, it was true that the Liu Family was the one that controlled the Zhai Tianyu on the surface but the truth was that the Ji family too had a hand in controlling the puppet emperor. The Liu family did it blatantly on the surface by forcing Zhai Tianyu into a corner while the Ji family did it behind the scenes, where Zhai Tianyu wouldn’t even realise that he was being controlled by them, who would have thought that the Emperor who has always listened to everything that the Ji family had to say would now refuse them?

But Ji Yang could not refute Zhai Tianyu either, what the man said was right. The investigation of Zhai Chenguang’s death was under Ji Mo’s father and he made the major mistake of ignoring the clues that were right in front of him, this was a matter of great grievance and embarrassment for the Ji family.

In fact, because of this matter, even the Grand Dowager Empress was upset with their family, even though Grand Dowager Empress cared about the Ji family but Zhai Chenguang was still her biological daughter, how can she be not upset when she found out that her daughter was married to a eunuch and that it was her own family who wronged her daughter by not investigating the case properly.

Ji Yang has been trying to reach out to his sister these past few days wanting her to make sure that the Emperor would agree to his request but because of the case of Zhai Chenguang, he was not able to see the Grand Dowager Empress at all because she was refusing to see him, Ji Yang was not happy with what was happening and he wished that he has persisted and met the Grand Dowager Empress even when she refused to do so.

” Your majesty, I do understand that you have some qualms when it comes to handing the investigation to the crime investigation department but you need to understand that one mistake does not count as the failure of the entire department, I assure you that the investigation department will not make a mistake again,” as he spoke he turned to look at Ji Mo who was standing beside him.

Ji Mo too was stunned upon receiving the refusal from the Emperor, he never thought that Zhai Tianyu would refuse their Ji family but when he saw his father asking him to say something, he snapped out of his daze and then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu and said, ” Your majesty, why don’t you leave it in our hands? I understand that there might be a bit of hesitation with what happened but I assure you that our investigation department will do a good job this time and won’t give you an opportunity to be disappointed with us.”

” I wish I could hand this case to you, Official Ji but the truth is that I have already handed this case to my friend who investigated the case of my aunt, I am afraid that he has already found quite a lot of clues by now, if I change the person in charge now, then there might be a chance that the clues and shreds of evidence might get affected and then we will go nowhere,” he calmly replied to Ji Mo whose entire body stiffened while Ji Yang despite the smile on his face had a very ashen complexion while looking at Zhai Tianyu.

One could see that neither of them was happy with Zhai Tianyu’s decision and what was even more they seemed to be rather upset about Zhai Tianyu using his own head instead of listening to them silently.

In the end, Ji Yang who did not want to let go of this chance where he could drag the entire Liu family down and step on their head tried once again, ” Your majesty are you sure that you want to leave this matter in the hands of a man who has lived in another country for all his life? Are you sure you can trust a foreigner than your own countrymen?”
