Chapter 238 Killing Officials and Murdering Uncles

"Qin Su, I am celebrating a joyous occasion today, and you bring a guilty person to witness the ceremony? Do you really think I am a man of good temper?"

"Your Highness, Qin Xiaoren has been pardoned by His Majesty. He is your uncle and an elder, so it is most appropriate for him to sit in that position on your joyous occasion," Qin Su said righteously, pointing to the seat under Allen's bottom.

Qin Mo looked at her cousin, who had been demoted to fishing in Yazhou by her lawsuit. The former Earl of Tongyuan had become a commoner, and the wrinkles on his face were even deeper than those of an old farmer. He had lost all the charm he had shown in the capital when he first came to power.

"Our army is small, but its soldiers are strong. Over the decades, tens of thousands have died on the battlefield, including my father..."

Upon hearing Qin Mo's words, many of the veteran servants bowed their heads in sorrow, mourning the passing of the old Prince Qin Lan.

Qin Mo raised his voice, "But I, the Prince, have never had a deserter, nor an elder who has seized the property of his nephews or nieces. This uncle, I... do not know him."

Qin Mo had already figured it out. Ever since she refused to cooperate with Hu Song's plan to build an academy in Dayuan, she had been disliked by the civil officials. And this time, their uninvited arrival was probably not just to cause trouble; there must be an important figure supporting them behind the scenes.

If he were to allow his scumbag deserter uncle, Qin Xiaoren, to become his elder, his troops would surely resent it, and his prestige would be damaged. More importantly, it would create a rift in his brotherhood with Allen. However, if he didn't allow him to take the elder's position, his bloodline would be used by those with ulterior motives to cause trouble.

His title of Prince Heng is now secure, and to remove it would require a serious offense. Perhaps the charge of "disrespecting elders" wouldn't do him any harm, but impure bloodline would certainly be a good reason. Once his title of Prince Heng is removed, wouldn't the wealthy officials be a piece of the pie to be divided among various forces?

“Your Highness, it is common for you, a high-ranking official, not to know your relatives in the capital. Qin Xiaoren is now a seventh-rank assistant minister in the Ministry of Rites, as clearly stated on his official document. It is only natural for him to come and be your elder today.”

"It's one thing for a dignified Vice Minister of Rites to be shameless, but it's truly laughable that he doesn't even know how to spell the word 'death'."

Qin Mo's lips curled into that cold smile again; those who knew him well knew this was the prelude to taking action.

Qin Mo always adhered to one principle: "When you really can't reason with someone, either swallow your anger and back down, or simply beat them up."

“Prince Heng, I kindly invited your elders to come to your home, and you not only don’t appreciate it, but now you’re trying to murder an official of the court. Do you really think the court can’t do anything to you?”

Qin Mo sneered a few times, his aura surged, and his Yuan Qi spread outwards to an area of ​​several dozen feet, enveloping all those with impure motives. The thick Yuan Qi made all the visiting guests feel suffocated.

"Wow... Mozi's cultivation level has reached this point? Is there any chance I can catch up in this lifetime?"

Qin Yumu sensed Qin Mo's almost tangible vital energy and compared it with the purity of her own. Then she sadly realized that if Qin Mo's vital energy was like a strong liquor, then her own vital energy was like diluted lees, thin and weak.

Qin Mo's aura grew stronger and stronger, even the resolute Qin Su could not withstand it, and shouted loudly: "Prince Heng, are you going to kill an official and murder your uncle?"

After seeing Qin Mo make his move, Allen sat down again, no longer concerned with external affairs. In his opinion, Qin Mo should have used his strength to drive these ants out long ago, and let's see what they can do.

Suddenly, Allen flashed in front of Qin Mo, his tall figure completely blocking her view. Not only that, the great elf also assumed a standard defensive stance, as if there was a great danger in front of him.

"Kill an official and murder an uncle? I understand killing the official, but what does murdering an uncle mean? Which uncle is he going to kill?"

A rough, booming voice suddenly rang out, and judging from the distance, it was coming from... the clouds.

"It can't be you, Uncle! It seems like we're not very popular to show up uninvited!"

The voice was much gentler and more refined, but it sounded somewhat sarcastic.

"How could that be? We brought gifts, we didn't come here to eat and drink for free, how could he dare to cause trouble?"

"Did you see anyone come to greet your uncle?"

The rough voice paused, seemingly annoyed, before a loud voice came from outside the Heng Prince's mansion: "Qin Mozi, your elders have come to visit, why aren't you coming out to greet them? Don't you have any manners?"

Qin Mo finally confirmed who the man was, quickly pulled Allen aside, and leaped out of the door. She bowed to the two middle-aged men and said, "I was unaware of the arrival of Uncle Yan and Uncle Zhou. Please forgive my failure to welcome them!"

King Qin Mu of Yan and the hermit Zhou Yuan stood side by side outside the door. Zhou Yuan accepted Qin Mu's greeting with great gusto, and then casually tossed the gifts in his hands over.

"I didn't bring anything fancy, just some rare things to help with health. Your Uncle Zhou painted a picture for you, consider it payment for the meal! I came to your house for dinner today!"

Qin Mo quickly accepted the gift, then instructed his subordinates to open the main gate and lead the two into the mansion through it.

"Oh dear! Nephew, there's no need for that. This flower-adorned gate is quite interesting. Let's go through the side gate instead!"

Qin Mo couldn't stop them in time; Zhou Yuan and Qin Mu had already passed through the colorful gate and entered the Heng Prince's Mansion through the side gate.

"Oh! Nephew, are you having a wedding ceremony or a fight? Why are so many people lying on the ground?"
