Inside the Privy Council.
Ji Ziyin tried her best to delay the time, but as she was a newcomer, she didn't have much work to do and was mainly responsible for helping with chores.
It was done quickly.
Ji Ziyin had no reason to delay any longer, so she followed the others and walked out of the Privy Council...
She has been reporting to the Privy Council every day these days, unlike the other two newcomers who are not seen at all.
People in the Privy Council had a good impression of her.
As the group walked out, someone spoke to her, "Xiao Ji, you've been here for a long time. Do you know what happened to Qiao Nian in your family? I haven't seen her in the Privy Council."
Ji Ziyin was worried about Lei Kai's situation. When she heard him talking to her, she answered absentmindedly, "I'm not very familiar with her."
"Aren't you from the same family?" The person who asked her was a plump man with a kind face, and he asked out of pure curiosity.
Ji Ziyin glanced in his direction, frowned slightly, and then relaxed quickly. Her goose-shaped face showed an embarrassment, as if she had something to hide, and she hesitated to speak: "She is a loner and is used to being independent."
A loner and a unique person.
These eight words seem to say nothing, but they hint at everything.
The people walking with her all frowned, as if they were thinking about something, and their impression of Qiao Nian became worse.
Everyone stopped talking and walked forward in silence.
At this moment, someone saw the people gathered at the entrance of the Privy Council, stopped, pointed over there and said, "Look, why are there so many people outside!"
Ji Ziyin and the others looked in the direction of his finger and saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the Privy Council.
"Why are these people surrounding us? Don't they know where this is?" Someone frowned.
Someone said angrily: "Where are those people at the door? Is there no one to take care of them?"
"Why do I see the Archbishop and his people over there? Let's go over and take a look." Someone else noticed that it wasn't just people outside who were gathered at the Privy Council entrance, but also people they knew. Someone was leading the way, and a group of people followed one after another, all wanting to see what was going on outside and why there was such a big commotion...
Ji Zinyin fell to the back of the team without anyone noticing.
She has never been interested in watching the fun, and after hesitating for a moment, she couldn't resist the temptation and took a step forward to follow.
…
At the gate of the Privy Council.
It's very lively at the moment.
Ji Zinyin followed the group of people who had just gathered over and saw seven or eight men in black tied up on the open space in the center of the crowd.
These people were tied up and thrown to the ground, rolling around on the ground, looking very scared.
There was another person whose situation was rather special. He was wearing a hospital gown and was also thrown to the ground like a sack.
She didn't know the other people.
When Ji Ziyin saw the man in the hospital gown clearly, her expression suddenly changed and her gloomy eyes became nervous and uneasy.
"Isn't that Lei Kai?"
"It seems that they are all from Lei Lao's family."
"What's going on? Who tied up all the members of Lei's family and brought them to the gate of the Privy Council? And why?"
Ji Zinyin heard the discussions among the people around her and confirmed that the man who was thrown to the ground like a pig was Lei Kai.
Her whole body felt like it was struck by lightning, her blood was frozen, and she stood there like a wooden stake, staring at the person in the crowd that she was afraid to see...
