Detective Ghost Empress

The next morning, Ji Yang with a group of his guards rushed inside the prison, only to find the cell where official Qin was kept empty. A roar of fury escaped his lips as he looked at the empty prison cell. He did not understand what went wrong when he had paid attention to every single thing to make sure that Master Qin will not be able to escape even if someone was to help him.

But now the prison was empty and the man inside of it was gone!

" How did this happen?" Ji Yang flipped as he turned to look at the head of the prison with fury brimming in his eyes. The look in his eyes was beyond fury, it was sheer evil. If not for the fact that killing the head of the prison would bring him some severe consequences he would have definitely wrapped his hand around the throat of the man and choked him to death.

One thing was told several times and he still couldn't do a job which he asked him to do properly.

" I do not know what happened sir," the head guard spoke with a nervous expression. His eyes were flickering from left to right as he looked at Ji Yang who seemed to be out of it, he knew that Ji Yang will not be able to hurt him but the look on the face of the old man made the head guard shudder.

Though the outsiders believed that Ji Yang was a kindhearted gentleman but the head guard had seen Ji Yang interrogating criminals and the people of the Liu Family whom he caught, even though they were innocent this man had killed them all one by one.

Thus, the head guard did not believe that Ji Yang was kind if anything he was a man who was filled with evil intentions.

" You mean to say that the man who was locked up here, just vanished in thin air without a single trace? Do you think that I am a fool one that you can lead around by the nose?" Ji Yang breathed heavily as he glared at the man who fumbled for words but Ji Yang was not willing to listen.

This was not good, he thought as he walked past the head guard and looked at the criminals who were locked up in the cells. He wished that he would find Master Qin hiding among them but nothing no matter how much he looked around he did not find the man, he was looking for.

" Damn those idiots!" Ji Yang trembled as he walked out of the prison, the death of Master Qin was necessary back then he had no one to help and could only make use of small tactics like currying favour with the Emperor even when it meant acting like a pimp, he had done it and Ji Yang was ashamed of a past like that.

He did not wish for anyone to know that there was a time when the young him was going around licking the boots of those who stood on top of him. It would be too embarrassing not to forget humiliating!

" What are we going to do now master?" the aide who was following behind Ji Yang spoke with a frown on his lips. " If he is in the hands of the Liu family then——"

"We will be in great trouble, do you think that I don't know that?" Ji Yang snapped harshly as he looked at the man beside him. His eyes were filled with deranged anger as he looked at the prison from where Master Qin vanished and ordered, " I don't care what you have to do! But get that man in front of me, if he is alive I have to see him and if he is dead bring his dead body to me!"

" Yes master!" The man bowed his head as he vanished in the air.

Once the man was gone, Ji Yang was left alone, he breathed in and out before turning around and looking at the man who was sitting on top of a boulder. He was wearing a black robe with red spider lilies embroidered on it while playing with the golden bangles on his wrist and asked, "What am I supposed to do now?"

His voice was deadly serious as he looked at the man for an answer.

" Why are you asking me this, prime minister Ji?" The man smiled patiently as he raised his head and looked at the man in front of him. " Did I not tell you that I will only help you when I want to, not when you ask me to."

" But you took my son's body! Shouldn't you be helping me out since I handed you the body of my son?" Ji Yang couldn't help but rebut angrily as he looked at the handsome face which had three finger marks on his left cheek with eyes which were underlined red.

The man smiled as he pushed himself off the boulder on which he was sitting, the mole under his eyes crinkled when he smiled. " You handed me this body because you wanted the throne, prime minister Ji. The throne is yours to hold and I will be sure of it but small things like this are not something that I will bother myself with.

Since they have nothing to do with your ability to get your hands on the throne."

" Master——" Ji Yang wanted to say something more but the man glanced at him with a stern look which caused Ji Yang to purse his lips and turn silent. He clenched his fingers in anger but as this man was stronger than him, Ji Yang did not dare to make a move against him.

" You have gotten a bit too chatty, Minister Ji," said the man with his lips curled in a soft smile. " I hope you will remember that the reason you are standing in this position is because of me, do not question me ever again."

Immediately, Ji Yang went to his knees as he apologized, " Forgive me, master, I was wrong."
