Detective Ghost Empress

Zhou Xuaran was stunned when he saw Ji Yang change his face so swiftly.

Ji Yang stared at Liu Dong Ming as if he was looking at the devil. He turned to look at Zhai Tianyu but before he could say anything, Liu Dong Ming beat him to it as he turned on his heels and then stated calmly, " Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ji did not investigate the case and caused a ruckus in the court without any proper evidence.

As a prime minister he not only failed in grasping the situation properly but he also created a mess of something so small which could have been dealt with without me calling an expert."

" Your majesty, I beseech you to punish Prime Minister Ji with a heavy penalty such that he will think twice before making another fuss as this one. Who knows the next time he might question my family for stealing something else? Is the Li family so weak that we can be bullied as others wish?"

Ji Yang was furious, he knew that Liu Dong Ming was specifically targeting him but there was nothing that he could do as he was indeed in the wrong as proven by the court. He pursed his lips angrily while glaring at Liu Hui Ying.

At first, Liu Hui Ying did not want to say anything nor did she want to get entangled in the mess of the officials, after all, she was not going to stay here for long but after being glared at by Ji Yang, her eyes flared up as she narrowed them.

After all, Liu Dong Ming was asking her heavy compensation for her and she was very much willing to take it, thus she did not want to disrupt this uncle of hers but ——

' Did this man think that I do not have any temper, is that so?' Liu Hui Ying thought angrily. Since he wanted to target her so much then she would give him a better reason to do that. With her lips curling up, she turned to look at Zhai Tianyu and then bowed her waist before saying, " Your majesty, if you do not blame me then there is a suggestion that I can give to you.

This might not eradicate corruption but it will slow it down and it will even safeguard the money of the commoners."

Zhai Tianyu knew that nothing good was going to come out of his wife's mouth as he had seen her curl her lips up in a smirk. He knew Liu Hui Ying too well to be aware of the fact that she was going to cause trouble. He inwardly sighed but on the outside, he pretended to be excited as he asked, " Is that so? What is this suggestion ?"

" Your majesty, you cannot listen to this man! What if he brings chaos to this nation?" Ji Yang shouted in panic. This man was seriously going to be the death of him, Liu Dong Ming was asking him to hand over more than three million taels and this man was telling Zhai Tianyu about a way to deal with corruption.

If the rate of corruption was slowed down, just how long would he have to save before making up for this loss, what would happen to the assassin army that he was raising?

" Why are you getting so excited, Prime Minister Ji?" Liu Dong Ming questioned with a smile on his lips. He stared at the man with a glint in his eyes before saying, " I mean let us listen to this young man first before making any decisions, right? There is no harm in listening to someone right?"

' You evil! I am sure you were the devil in your last life.' Ji Yang thought bitterly in his head as he looked at Liu Dong Ming with a grievance-filled gaze.

Liu Dong Ming however pretended not to care as he turned to look at Zhai Tianyu while ignoring the glares that were pointed at him by the Ji family fraction including the Grand Dowager Empress.

Zhai Tianyu did not even dare to look at his grandmother as he knew that his grandmother was glaring at Liu Dong Ming and once she was done glaring at him, she would turn her attention to him.

' What a hassle, I was as the crown prince and yet ….' Zhai Tianyu sighed while complaining about how he could not even decide what kind of clothes he wanted to wear every day. Only then did he smile and look at Liu Hui Ying before saying, " Ahaha, is that so? Please do tell me what you mean.

I am willing to listen." He then turned to look at Ji Yang and then said, " Prime Minister Liu is right, Prime Minister Ji. There is no harm in listening if it's going to help the country."

Prime Minister Ji looked at Zhai Tianyu as if he wanted to burn the world but he knew that he could not do it. Thus he swallowed the words that he wanted to throw at Zhai Tianyu and then said, " Yes…you are right, Your Majesty."

' One of these days I am going to make them suffer for all the humiliation that they have made me go through!' He thought ruthlessly.

Liu Hui Ying snickered when she saw how blue Ji Yang's face had become, she curled the side of her lips and then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu with a flattering smile on her lips as she said, " Your majesty in my country there is a system called bank, why don't you implement it?" As she spoke she explained everything related to a bank to the officials in the court causing more and more officials who were deeply engrossed in corruption to turn green.

They wanted to stop Liu Hui Ying but the benefits of building a bank were too good. If they stopped her wouldn't they be shouting out loud that they were the ones who were involved in corruption?

Even Ji Yang's face was green before it became pale. He did not know what to say or how to stop this thing from happening. It was as if he went to steal eggs and ended up losing his rice!
