My father, on horseback, is the empire's dragon commander; off horseback, he is the current prime minister. People call me the Young Prime Minister.
My father and I both feared being slau...
Chai Xin nodded to Tu Guandian and said, "I am deeply saddened by such a terrible event that has happened to the Tu family. I only hope that Mr. Tu will take care of himself and not be too heartbroken."
Tu Guanchao glanced at Tu Ziming, but swallowed his words.
He thought to himself, "Since the Commandant is already here, shouldn't he arrest people?"
As Tu Guan was pondering, Chai Xin looked at Tu Ziming and said, "Tu Ziming, I only asked you to persuade Tu Qianhu to make amends and hand over Tu Wanhu, but why did you kill him?"
Tu Ziming cupped his hands and said, "Tu Qianhu was adamant, saying that there was absolutely no way he would hand over his brother, and he even ordered his guards to kill me. In desperation, I had no choice but to strike first in order to protect myself!"
Chai Xin nodded and said, "What you did wasn't wrong. The Tu family is a century-old family in Jiangcheng, and we can't let the Tu Qianhu brothers ruin it."
Upon hearing this, the Tu family members all showed expressions of relief, understanding just like Tu Guan.
Chai Xin wasn't there to arrest anyone at all; he was putting on a show with Tu Ziming!
If this matter is investigated in detail, it is understandable that Tu Ziming killed Tu Qianhu in order to protect himself, but why did he also kill all the elderly people in his family?
But Chai Xin didn't even mention this matter!
It was an unpleasant experience to have someone break into your home and interfere. Tu Guan couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Your Excellency, what crime has Tu Wanhu committed? Is it necessary to go on such a killing spree?"
"They deliberately staged a mining accident to lure Lord Deng to inspect the mine, and then, in collusion with the Lu family and former Prefect Shang Dongyang, ambushed and assassinated Lord Deng outside the city!"
"A mere merchant dares to assassinate a high-ranking official of the imperial court!"
Chai Xin snorted coldly, glanced at Tu Guan, and retorted, "Boss Tu, do you still think it's not that serious?"
