Chapter 469: Got Arrested
But things went against his wishes. Even though he went there so early, he still failed to see her as he wished.
Not only did the eldest sister go out early in the morning, but even the Evil King was not in the house.
So, he had no choice but to give up.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he returned home, he saw the Evil King standing at his doorstep.
When Jiang Yuli saw the Evil King, he couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart, but he reacted quickly, knelt on his knees without hesitation, and paid a great salute to the Evil King.
"I, a humble commoner, pay my respects to His Majesty the Evil King!" His voice was loud and firm, filled with deep awe.
Feng Wuhen nodded slightly in response and said softly, "Get up."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuli quickly stood up and stood aside respectfully.
This evil king was famous and frightened countless people, but the fact that Jiang Yuli was able to face him so calmly showed his extraordinary courage.
Speaking of Jiang Yuli, he is the only clean person in the Jiang family.
In the once selfish Jiang family, apart from the innocent and kind-hearted Momo, he was the only one who maintained an upright heart and had not been distorted by worldly interests.
Jiang Yimo also thinks highly of him.
"Jiang Yuli, do you know that you have a wanted criminal in your home?" Feng Wuhen asked him seriously.
"Your Majesty, I only found out about this last night. I wanted to get up early in the morning and go to your Evil King's Mansion, but when I arrived at the gate of your mansion, the guards told me that you and my eldest sister were out." Jiang Yuli said truthfully.
"Then do you know who the person you rescued is?" Feng Wuhen said with a slight smile on his face.
Before he finished speaking, he slowly stretched out his hand and carefully took out a crystal clear jade pendant that was as smooth as mutton fat from his wide sleeve.
This jade pendant is not only pure and flawless, but also exudes a fascinating luster.
What is even more rare is that the carving craftsmanship is exquisite and every line is smooth and natural, as if giving life to this jade pendant.
Feng Wuhen gently raised the jade pendant in front of his eyes, showed it to everyone, and then said: "This jade pendant was handed to me by the owner of the jewelry store. He said that a woman took it to sell last night. Take a close look." After that, he handed the jade pendant to Jiang Yuli.
Jiang Yuli stared intently, his eyes fixed on the jade pendant.
In a moment, he noticed a striking word "Cheng" engraved on the front of the jade pendant.
When he saw this word, his heart was shocked and a person's name instantly emerged in his mind - King Kang Feng Sicheng!
That’s right, it was the man who had just launched a coup, murdered the monarch and attempted to usurp the throne not long ago!
Looking back now, he still remembered that the people of the entire imperial city were frightened during those days.
The shops in the imperial city were closed and the streets were deserted. The scenes at that time are still vivid in my mind...
"Lord Xie, the person in my firewood room... is he King Kang?"
Jiang Yuli's face was full of astonishment, his eyes widened, and his voice trembled slightly.
The evil prince nodded slightly to show his affirmation.
His deep and sharp gaze was like a cold star, coldly sweeping over Jiang Yuli and asking him harshly.
"Where did you rescue this man from?" The person asking the question had sharp eyes, staring at the people in front of him, as if he wanted to see the truth of the matter through their eyes.
"This..." Hearing this, Jiang Yuli's throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound.
His eyes flickered and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
This matter was so tricky that he didn't know how to answer it.
Because once the truth is told, his second sister will probably face imprisonment.
You know, secretly hiding a wanted criminal is a capital crime!
If you take in a wanted criminal without knowing it, you may get a lighter sentence, but even so, the consequences will be disastrous.
At this moment, Jiang Yuli was caught in a dilemma, with family affection on one side and law and justice on the other. He was extremely conflicted and didn't know what to choose.
Jiang Yuli's face was tense at the moment, and his expression was filled with extreme tension and anxiety.
Because he knew that if he didn't tell the whole truth, the consequences would be disastrous!
But to be honest, this terrifying, ruthless evil king will never let his second sister go easily.
At this time, Jiang Yaqi, who was hiding in the corner of the eaves, was already trembling with fear. She regretted that she was too greedy for money, which brought her such a beheading disaster.
Now she could only stare at Jiang Yuli, hoping that he would not tell the truth.
Now, when she thought back to the day her father died, the Evil King's face as cold as an iceberg and his ruthless methods, Jiang Yaqi couldn't help but tremble all over, as if she had already felt the cruel punishment that was about to come.
However, at this moment, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
A guard came hurriedly and walked straight to Feng Wuhen. He bowed and said, "Your Highness... that man ran away."
Hearing this, Feng Wuhen's face instantly became extremely gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.
He clenched his teeth tightly and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Chase, send people to chase him immediately, we must not let that guy escape from the imperial city!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" The young guard did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. After receiving the order, he quickly turned around and left, disappearing on the spot like a gust of wind.
Then, Feng Wuhen cast his cold and sharp gaze on Jiang Yuli and Jiang Yaqi, and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Someone, take them both away."
As soon as he finished speaking, several young guards responded and quickly stepped forward to receive orders.
At this time, Jiang Yaqi was so frightened that her soul left her body. Her legs went limp and she fell to her knees on the ground with a thud.
Her face was filled with horror, and she desperately shook her head and begged for mercy, "No, no, no, Your Highness the Evil King, please spare me this time! I really didn't know that the man was actually King Kang! Wuuwuwu..."
However, Feng Wuhen's eyes, as dark and deep as obsidian, just glanced at her coldly.
Just this one look made Jiang Yaqi feel a bone-chilling chill. She stopped sobbing immediately and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Afterwards, Jiang Yaqi was dragged away from the scene mercilessly by the evil king's guards, leaving behind only a dead silence and a terrifying atmosphere.
……
And on King Kang's side.
When he woke up early this morning, he felt uneasy and always felt that something was going to happen.
So, he felt that his fever was no longer there and his strength had recovered a little. Seeing that it was not yet bright outside, he hurried away.
As a result, just as he passed by an alley, he saw Feng Wuhen and his men coming to catch him.
