Chang Jiye had been obsessed with refining elixirs and cultivating immortals before, but now that he had been tortured by Ji Ziheng for so many days, he was already a little mentally disturbed.

At this moment, the pain was blocked by Qi Yun's mental power. The pain suddenly disappeared from her body, but misty hallucinations began to appear in her mind.

He firmly believes that Xuannv is Ji, and she must have been resurrected by Qi Yun and washed away her mortal memory.

But Ji hated herself so much that she wanted to harm him even if she had no memory of her previous life!

Chang Jiye was so jealous that he couldn't get the chance to become an immortal!

That bitch Ji got it!

Now, Qi Yun believed that bitch's slander about revenge and wanted to lose her soul!

His spirit was already on the verge of collapse, but he received so much stimulation today that he went crazy!

"No! Please don't let me lose my soul. I'll do whatever it takes!"

"I'll do it, hahaha, bitch, come and take revenge on me! I'll do it..."

"Little bitch...hahaha..."

"Your Majesty, please don't let me lose my soul..."

"I've become an immortal! Haha... I'm flying in the sky..."

Chang Jiye begged for a while, laughed and cursed for a while.

"Your Majesty, he seems to be crazy."

Qi Yun was speechless, removed the barrier to his pain, and threw the person directly to the ground.

The sudden severe pain caused Chang Jiye to howl uncontrollably.

"Extract your soul!" Qi Yun said to Xuan Nu.

Xuannv raised her hand and played the pipa. Chang Jiye, who was howling miserably on the ground, suddenly stopped moving, his body stiffened, and only the whites of his eyes remained.

At the same time, his soul appeared above his body, looking at Qi Yun in fear.

From his soul's perspective, Qi Yun's soul aura was very powerful.

If his soul power is like a small ant, then Qi Yun is like a mountain towering into the clouds.

"System, is there a way to make him visible?"

Although Qi Yun and Xuannv could see his soul, the people around him couldn't. They all looked blankly at Chang Jiye who was rolling his eyes on the ground.

System: "The host can directly use the combat uniform to project a holographic image on the location of his soul, and then use the music player to relay what he said."

Yes, you still have to rely on combat uniforms.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Hengyang City, Chang Jiye suddenly twitched and rolled his eyes. Not long after, a gust of wind blew by, and a translucent Chang Jiye appeared above his body.

Is that his soul?

Every citizen who witnessed this scene felt slightly excited.

The theory of souls has been around since ancient times, but no one has ever seen it with their own eyes!

At this moment, everyone was excited to witness Qi Yun interrogating a ghost with their own eyes!

Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound from above, and Qi Yun had a gavel in his hand.

"Tell me all the crimes you committed!"

Chang Jiye's soul couldn't help but kneel down in mid-air, and started pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

In addition to admitting the crimes mentioned by Jing Han, he also confessed what happened when he deceived Ji.

It turns out that after Ji's second marriage, she was placed under house arrest by Chang Jiye.

He forced Ji to hand over the score of Pipa Hen. When Ji refused, he cut off her hands, cut out her tongue, and imprisoned her in a dark room, but announced to the outside that Ji had died of illness.

Ji was tortured by him in the dark dungeon for six full years before finally finding an opportunity to knock over the oil lamp and burn herself to death.

After Ji's death, his resentment was transferred to the young Ji Ziheng.

But compared with the unscrupulous things he did to the people after the plague in the last days, the impact of these family affairs was not that great.

When he started to confess that he wet the bed when he was nine years old, Qi Yun signaled to Xuannv, "That's it."

Xuannv clicks the string.

Chang Jiye's soul returned to his body, but he never woke up again.

Xuannv said: "Your Majesty, he is dead."

"If you die, you will die. You will be killed anyway."

Chang Jiye died, and everyone felt that he deserved his death.

People who used to think that Ji Ziheng abused his biological father and was a little too cruel all felt that he deserved it!

In fact, if Ji Ziheng publicly tried the crimes of Chang Jiye and those nobles before killing them, the people would not be so afraid of him.

But he doesn't.

Maybe, it's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't have so much time anymore.

He is dying, and he no longer has that much time and energy to screen and distinguish the seriousness of each person's crime, and to use both kindness and power.

He just needs the people in Hengyang City to obey for the time being.

And the best way to achieve this goal is to kill people.

As long as you kill enough people, you can make your enemies afraid and your own people afraid.

Although there are many hidden dangers in doing this and it cannot bring long-term peace and stability, what does he want for long-term peace and stability?

He has no future and no longer needs to think about the long term.

"Next, it's your turn."

Qi Yun looked at Ji Ziheng.

Chen Yan couldn't help but knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, although the young master killed those wealthy households who hoarded grain, he did it to save the people in Hengyang City! If he didn't do this, millions of people in Hengyang City would starve to death. Or there will be a riot, and the people will be killed and injured even more! Although the young master is guilty, he has also made meritorious service, Your Majesty!"

"Then the gentry and squires in the city must die?"

One person suddenly couldn't help but said angrily: "You want to distribute food to the people and just take away the food. Why do you want to kill the whole family?"

The person who asked the question was one of the people who brought Chang Jiye before.

"Your Majesty, Jia Wenju, a common man, originally came from a scholarly family in Hengyang. His family has been clean for generations and he has never deliberately hoarded food. However, after Ji Ziheng overthrew his father, he allowed his subordinates to kill all the wealthy families, gentry and merchants in the city. The common man would like to ask Ji Young Master, why do the Jia family deserve it? What do those good and wealthy people in Hengyang City deserve?"

"Your Majesty," another woman in the crowd knelt down with tears streaming down her face, "A civilian woman's family has always done good deeds and accumulated virtues. During the plague, they still gave porridge to the people. As everyone in Hengyang knew, Ji Ziheng sent people to kill the whole family for no reason. If a civilian woman hadn’t happened to return to her parents’ home, she would not have been able to escape this disaster!”

"Everything the common woman said is true. If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask Fairy Xuannv to use the soul-draining technique on the common woman. The common woman is willing to die, as long as your majesty makes the decision for the common woman and her family!"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Ji saved the lives of the common people. If there was no food, we would all starve to death. Please be patient with Mr. Ji!"

"Please, Your Majesty, please be gentle with Mr. Ji!"

"..."

Both sides held their own opinions, and there was a quarrel in the venue.

Suddenly, the pipa played and everyone fell silent.

Qi Yun looked at Ji Ziheng, "Do you agree with what they said?"

Ji Ziheng raised his lips and smiled, pushed away Chen Yan who was supporting him, knelt down and saluted respectfully, "Zi Heng pleads guilty. Your Majesty, please grant Zi Heng death."

Chen Yan choked up, "Young Master..."

Ji Ziheng shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to say more.

All eyes turned to Qi Yun.

Qi Yun said calmly: "Ji Ziheng is guilty of killing innocent people indiscriminately, but he has made meritorious deeds in saving all peoples. His meritorious deeds should be rewarded, and his faults should be punished."

As she spoke, she snapped her fingers, and three transparent glass wine glasses and an exquisite wine flask appeared on the long table beside her.
