What Jing Yi said was an obvious ploy to conceal the truth and close the case hastily in order to claim undue credit. Jing Rong would never let him do that. “We don’t have enough evidence, let alone the conclusive proof that Zhang Daqi is the murderer. If you submit that case report, you’ll be guilty of deceiving His Majesty.”

All they needed was a command before they unleashed a rain of arrows. Jing Yi looked around frantically, if Jing Rong really ordered them to kill him, there’s no way that he would be able to escape.

But, he taunted back. “I dare you.”

“Try me.”

“If you hurt me, you’ll die too.”

“Relax, I never planned to hurt you.” Jing Rong said, “But
