Chapter 886: The Empress Threatens
Bai Yichang kneeled on the ground in humiliation. His official hat was torn, and his hair was disheveled. He did not look like a human. The ground was stained with blood. When he entered, he was disobedient and wanted to resist. Ding Yi called out to him, and he immediately became obedient.
However, his eyes were still vicious, like a poisonous snake hiding a cold light. He looked coldly at Zhang Ronghua, who was sitting on the chair drinking tea, and wanted to swallow him up.
“Are you aggrieved?”
Bai Yichang did not say a word.
” I didn’t expect that the Imperial Attendant Supervisor would kneel in front of his enemy like a dog,” Zhang Ronghua said slowly.” To be honest, it feels pretty good.”
“It’s more than good. It’s simply awesome.” Ding Yi chuckled.
The teacup in her hand suddenly smashed into Bai Yichang’s face. The boiling hot tea splashed all over his face and broke his nose bridge.
Before he could scream, Zhang Ronghua’s murderous voice sounded,”You really deserve to die!” As a third-grade official, he had a large amount of silver just from his illegal income. He even instructed Pang Youshan to collude with Sun Jin to steal the formula of the spiritual item and secretly produce and sell it. Did he ever think about how much damage these things would cause to Xia if they fell into the hands of the Shang Dynasty? Taking a step back, even if the evil cultivators, demons, and ghosts in the territory get it, the local government will have to pay a lot of lives if they want to encircle and suppress it. Has their conscience been eaten by dogs?”
Bai Yichang retorted,”If you want to add a crime, you have to have a reason!” I don’t believe that you can cover the sky with one hand and let the Human Emperor Guards seal the Imperial Censorate for a while, but do you think you can seal it forever? We’ll see how you explain yourself in court tomorrow.”
Pa! Pa!
“Bring him here,” Zhang Ronghua said as he clapped his hands.
The door opened.
Two Human Emperor Guards escorted a person in from outside. He wore a black hood and closed the door.
Although he couldn’t see his face, he looked familiar.
Bai Yichang’s heart was filled with panic and fear. He overthrew his guess. Wuji was far away in the Ethereal Sky Sect, why would he appear in the capital? This matter was very secretive. Other than him, even Madam did not know!
Including Lei Hai, a total of three people knew.
It should just be a physical resemblance. It was definitely not his son.
Zhang Ronghua waved his hand. Ding Yi stepped forward and took off his hood.
Their eyes met, and the air instantly froze.
Looking at his father, who was swollen like a pig’s head and covered in blood, he would not have recognized him if he was not familiar with him. He had hoped that he could save him, but now, he was in such a state. Bai Wuji shouted in shock,” Father! Why are you kneeling?”
Bai Yichang didn’t blame him for calling him ” father “. Since he was captured, Zhang Ronghua must have investigated him thoroughly. At least, he had some evidence of his crime. Bai Yichang’s heart fell into the abyss. The Bai family was really finished this time. His expression was gentle as he looked at his dantian. The blood had dried up. He asked with concern,” Does it hurt?”
” Yes!” Bai Wuji nodded heavily.” It hurts!”
Bai Yichang struggled to get up, but he was held down by Ding Yi’s hand. He could not move. For the first time, he begged,” Give me some time.”
“Is this the attitude you have when asking for help?” Ding Yi rebuked.
No matter how bad a person was, he would give up everything for his family.
Bai Yichang lowered his proud head, which was a rare sight.” Lord Zhang, please give the sinner some time!” he said in a very humble manner.
Zhang Ronghua waved his hand, and Ding Yi withdrew his hand.
Bai Yichang stood up, tidied his appearance, and walked forward. The two Human Sovereign Guards stepped back and let go of Bai Wuji. The father and son hugged each other tightly.
After a while.
” Father?” Bai Yichang touched his son’s face and revealed a fatherly expression, but also a deep sense of self-blame.” Hate father?”
“No!” Bai Wuji shook his head.
“You’ve been so worried about me. To be honest, when I first received those spirit herbs and pills, I had a bad feeling, as if I could see this day coming! At that time, he wanted to become stronger and break through faster. Then, he would take control of the Ethereal Heavenly Sect. Even if an accident happened, he would be able to help you! I didn’t expect that plans couldn’t keep up with changes. I haven’t grown up yet, and this day has come.”
She paused for a moment and held his hand tightly.
“It’s this child who has dragged you down!”
Bai Yichang shook his head and his movements became gentler.” Your talent is excellent. It would be a pity if you don’t cultivate!” If he wanted to cultivate, he would need the guidance of a great teacher and cultivation resources. Only then would he be able to walk further on this path! “Otherwise, there are many people with good talent, but only a few can grow. These people have shocking luck and sufficient medicinal pills.”
” Father, if there is a next life, I will still be your son. I don’t want to be rich. I just want a safe family.”
“Yes.” Bai Yichang replied heavily.
She hugged him tightly in her arms, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Bai Wuji also cried. He comforted her,”Dad, don’t cry!” This child is unfilial.”
After a while.
Bai Yichang collected his emotions. He retracted his palm and turned around.” The sinner has a presumptuous request. Please agree!”
“Don’t push your luck,” Ding Yi chided.
“I can tell you what you want to know. I only hope that you can bury our family together!”
“Alright,” Zhang Ronghua agreed.
Bai Yichang took the initiative to explain how he instructed Pang Youhao to befriend Sun Jin, as well as how he purchased the materials, how he made them, and how he sold them.
To prevent them from disobeying, he specially ordered people to capture their sons and secretly threaten them.
That was exactly the case.
Last time, when Pang Youshan and Sun Jin were caught, they took all the blame and did not bite him out.
