Chapter 518 Justice
"What else can we do?" Lu Qing asked him with a smile. "Since it's obvious that they want to dig a pit for you to jump into, why don't you jump into the pit in front of you, which you can already guess the general depth of? Do you have to wait until you fall into a new pit that they dug in a place you don't know about?"
Rather than being passive in a completely unknown situation, it's better to be like this now.

Lu Qing's words made sense, and Situ Jing was speechless.

"Is there anyone else who knows about your current situation?" he asked again.

“Besides you, even Prince Xu was unaware of it,” Lu Qing replied with a faint smile.

Situ Jing's eyes showed a hint of understanding, and he nodded silently: "Besides this, is there anything I can do to help?"

Lu Qing nodded, gestured for Situ Jing to come closer, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

Situ Jing listened solemnly, nodding repeatedly.

"Okay, I understand all that you've said." Finally, he sat up straight again and nodded solemnly to Lu Qing.

“By the way,” Lu Qing seemed to have suddenly thought of something and smiled at Situ Jing, “General, you were doing well in Lizhou, but now you’ve been demoted and sent to Qinzhou, such a desolate place, to be the commander of the capital. You must have suffered a lot of grievances.”
In the past, if your father and brothers wanted to speak up for you in court, they would have been somewhat aimless, not knowing where to begin with their efforts.

Things are different now. The instigator, the Golden-Faced Censor, has now made a mess of things, making it the perfect opportunity to kick him while he's down. If this chance comes too late, it might be gone forever.

Situ Jing was somewhat stunned and remained silent.

Although the sleeping potion used by Situ Jing's men was extremely effective, and even the Brahma King's nephew, who had only drunk a bowl of wine, was now fast asleep, they did not intend to stay outside for too long as a precaution. After eating and talking with Situ Jing for a while, they ordered their men to tie the hands of the five men with ropes again and went back to the prison cart.

Situ Jing locked the prison cart again, had someone put the key back into the arms of the Brahma Guard who had the key, bowed to Lu Qing through the air vent outside the cart, and then quietly signaled his men to leave.

The group of people disappeared quietly into the night, as if they had never existed, leaving only the guards sleeping haphazardly on the ground.

That night, although it was still that cramped prison cart, I ate some palatable food and had a chance to get some fresh air. Perhaps because I knew that not all of Situ Jing's men could leave and that someone was secretly monitoring everything around, I slept particularly soundly that night.

When the Brahma King's guards woke up the next morning, they didn't realize they had been infected. They were just amazed at how strong the wine the villagers had brewed was. The group lazily got up, tidied themselves up briefly, and continued their journey to the capital.

After his desire to drink and eat meat was satisfied, Brahma's nephew could no longer delay and ordered the guards to hurry on their way. The guards did not cause any more trouble at this point, after all, Brahma's corpse was still unknown by now.

So they sped up and traveled at full speed for more than three days, finally reaching the outskirts of the capital.

Upon arriving outside the capital, Brahma's nephew deliberately stayed an extra day, finding a bathhouse to bathe and change his clothes, tidying himself up perfectly. He also had all the guards change their attire, and the whole group wore plain white linen clothes, looking like they were about to hold a funeral. They also wore the Brahma Mansion's waist badges, and even removed the wooden planks that had originally covered the carriage containing Brahma's coffin.

In this way, Brahma's coffin was exposed to everyone's view.

Upon reaching the city gate, the certificate that Brahma's nephew pulled from his robes was entirely different from the one he had presented when they entered the territory of Jin Kingdom. This was evident from the exceptionally polite reaction of the guards at the gate.

Zhu Yu couldn't help but groan in the prison cart.

Based on her observations along the way, she didn't believe that this Brahma King's nephew had the mind to know how to hide his identity so discreetly, ensuring that no word would leak out and that no unexpected complications would ruin their entire plan.

If he had possessed such intelligence and vigilance, he wouldn't have been so easily bewitched by the people arranged by Situ Jing, only waking up late the next day.

It was obvious that someone had instructed him on how to do things along the way beforehand, and he was simply following their instructions meticulously.

Once they entered the capital, this group became much more high-profile, pulling out paper money that they had hidden somewhere before, while shouting, "May the Brahma King die unjustly, may his resentment dissipate, and may all evil spirits shun us!"
"The prince committed a heinous crime; he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Your Majesty is wise and has upheld justice!"

Brahma's nephew also stopped riding in the carriage and instead carried the coffin along the way, as if he were holding a funeral for Brahma right there in the capital.

Their commotion immediately attracted the attention of many people in the capital. Some stopped to watch, while others, who were bolder, simply followed the carriage from a distance to see what was going on.

And so they made their way to the outside of the palace.

Once they arrived here, ordinary people could not approach at will. The guards standing at the gate saw this group of people dressed in mourning clothes from afar and immediately came forward to block them in the middle of the road.

"Who goes there? Do you know what crime it is to approach the palace without permission?!" the head guard shouted, raising his sword. "If you dare to move forward again, you will be killed without mercy!"

The Brahma King's nephew immediately stopped, fearing that if he went any further he would be killed in the street by the guards. With a look of fear, he took off his waist token from his waist and handed it over: "I am the nephew of the Brahma King's family. My uncle died suddenly recently, which is inseparable from that carefree king. I have brought the culprit here to ask His Majesty to uphold justice!"
Please do me the favor of informing them!

As he spoke, he magically pulled out a pre-written document from his sleeve.

"Who did you say killed your uncle?!" The guards at the palace gate looked at him as if he were a madman. "The Carefree Prince?!"

Do you even know what crime it is to speak recklessly and spread rumors to slander the imperial heir?!

Although everyone in the palace and the capital knew that Prince Lu Qing was not Emperor Jin's biological son, but rather a child adopted from a meritorious relative, he was still, in name, a genuine prince.

Faced with accusations made off the cuff by some nephew of a vassal king, the palace guards naturally chose not to believe them.

"If anything I've said is even slightly false, may the heavens strike me down with a thunderbolt right now!" Brahma's nephew swore with one hand on his hip and the other pointing to the sky, "The murderer has been caught red-handed and is in the prison van behind us. You can go see for yourselves!"
