The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 279: I Have Another Case

The reason why he wanted to kill Zhao Jingzhong was that he didn't want to be exposed. But he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only clear himself.

The worst that could happen is that his father knew he was the mastermind, but he had no evidence to arrest him. At most, he would be imprisoned.

As long as he is not stripped of his title, he still has a chance to turn things around.

As for the Eighth Prince Jiang Fan's attack on him, he did not say it. This is where he is smart.

If he accused Jiang Fan of biting him, it would only be disadvantageous to him. Saying that Zhao Jingzhong bit him was already a veiled reference to Jiang Fan.

On the contrary, he still has a good reputation. Even when faced with his brothers' attacks, he still does not blame them.

"Father, I am also wronged. I have no idea what they did!" Upon hearing this, the eldest prince Jiang Yi glanced at Ye Ren, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes.

But he quickly knelt down and quickly defended himself.

At a time like this, he can only save himself first. As for whether his grandfather can be saved, it depends on his luck.

If he does not defend himself, once he is imprisoned, things may become troublesome in the future. If his father is cruel, not only will they be stripped of their titles, they may also be exiled!

As for being killed, that is impossible. He is a prince. No matter how cruel his father is, he will never kill them as long as they have not done anything heinous.

"Father, I was kept in the dark. Please help me." Upon hearing this, the Third Prince also said hurriedly, throwing all the blame on his subordinate Guo Zhen.

After hearing the words of the three princes, all the court officials looked at each other, shook their heads, and sighed in their hearts.

This is the prince that some court officials depend on. Not only are they idiots, but they also try to pass the buck when things go wrong and sell out the people who work wholeheartedly for them, especially the eldest prince Jiang Yi, who sold out his own grandfather.

It would be really unfair if such a person became emperor.

Those court officials who depended on the princes, while worrying about whether they would be implicated, regretted in their hearts that they had actually relied on those useless princes.

Compared to Jiang Fan, the notorious waste prince, they are the real wastes.

The only person who was not involved in this grain tax case was the fifth prince. He was not involved in anything.

In fact, he was lucky. He did not have any personnel in Hejianzhou, nor was he involved in the grain tax case. Therefore, the three of them could not sue him, nor could they drag him into the water.

He looked at the eldest prince, the third prince, and the sixth prince, and a strange expression appeared on his lips. But he still pretended to be terrified for a moment.

However, the Fifth Prince knelt down at this time and said, "Father, the evidence of the crimes spoken by Zhao Jingzhong, Ye Shixuan, and Hou Qinglin is proven to be true. I was coerced by my eldest and third brothers and had no choice but to go along with them. The two waves of assassins who just attacked were sent by my eldest and third brothers, and one by my sixth brother."

As soon as the Fifth Prince said this, everyone present was stunned for a moment. The First Prince, the Third Prince, Ye Ren, Huang Zhenren and other court officials looked at the Fifth Prince in astonishment.

They never imagined that their allies would stab them in the back at this moment.

The Sixth Prince looked coldly at the Fifth Prince, as if he was not at all surprised by his backstabbing.

Jiang Fan also had a calm expression on his face, and he didn't find it strange at all about the Fifth Prince's betrayal.

Chu Yan'er, Su Yuqing, Zhong Ling and the Chu brothers, who were watching all this not far away, were not at all surprised at the fifth prince's backstabbing.

Because everyone, including Jiang Fan, had already calculated that the Fifth Prince would backstab the First Prince and the Third Prince.

To be precise, Jiang Fan had figured it out.

When Jiang Fan was plotting against the three princes, he had already thought that as long as Zhao Jingzhong and the other two could hold on to the eldest prince, the third prince, Ye Ren and others.

The fifth prince, who has nothing to do with this matter, will definitely take the opportunity to stab the two princes in the back.

This knife was fatal. Although it could not kill the two princes, it could kick them out of the fight for the throne. In the end, he was the only one who escaped unscathed.

As expected, the Fifth Prince did not disappoint Jiang Fan. Whenever something happened to the First Prince, the Third Prince, Ye Ren and others, he could not wait to stab them in the back.

The eldest prince, the third prince, Ye Ren and the others came to their senses and all looked at the fifth prince angrily, their eyes almost spitting fire. If they could kill someone, they would definitely rush over at the first moment and kill the backstabbing guy on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan looked at the Fifth Prince. His eyes flickered with a hint of disappointment. At this moment, he felt a little tired!

But he nodded. He looked at the first and third princes and Ye Ren and others and said calmly: "What else do you have to say now?"

The eldest prince, the third prince, Ye Ren and others opened their mouths but could not say anything. After all, they had been so close for such a long time that any argument would be in vain.

They even believed that the Fifth Prince would definitely be able to find witnesses to accuse them, and the more they said, the more mistakes they made. It might also provoke the wrath of Emperor Yan.

When the Fifth Prince saw that he had defeated his two brothers at once, a look of joy appeared on his face. He looked at Jiang Fan proudly with a smile on his face.

If possible, he would run to Jiang Fan and thank him in a sarcastic tone, thanking Jiang Fan for helping him get rid of his two biggest competitors.

Although Jiang Fan has an absolute advantage, he is not without advantages. Only the one who laughs last is the biggest winner.

However, Jiang Fan looked at him playfully, as if he was looking at an idiot. This made the Fifth Prince feel angry.

He had won a great victory with Jiang Fan's help. What did Jiang Fan mean by this look? He had the urge to open his mouth and ask Jiang Fan what he meant.

Jiang Fan did not look at him again, but looked at the Sixth Prince with a playful look, and then looked back at the Fifth Prince. His expression made the Fifth Prince feel stunned.

What does this guy mean by looking at Lao Liu and then at him? What does he want to say? !

Just as the Fifth Prince was puzzled, Jiang Fan stepped forward and said, "Father, I have another case. I hope you can help me!"

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Emperor Yan was surprised, but he still nodded and said, "Fan'er, if you have any case, just tell me, and I will make the decision for you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan nodded to Chu Yan'er who was not far away.

Chu Yan'er quickly commanded the white-robed guards to bring over the Sixth Prince's deputy guard commander Zuo Hu and several men in black.

Seeing this scene, the Sixth Prince Jiang Zheng had an indifferent look on his face, while the others were all surprised, wondering what Jiang Fan meant by bringing this person here.

However, when everyone saw the person being escorted in front of them, they all looked at the Sixth Prince in astonishment. Their eyes became strange.

The deputy commander of the Sixth Prince's personal guards actually fell into Chu Yan'er's hands. What happened? !
