Chapter 169 Blood Debt Repaid with Blood

"She is humiliating you, not the court officials." Qian Fanji paused and said, "What Prime Minister Gao did only represents you personally. Involving court officials in this is a serious mistake."

“…”

Prime Minister Gao was really choked.

"The little girl has been waiting for you from the afternoon until late at night. It's not appropriate for you to be so impatient right after Prime Minister Gao comes back. Wait a minute." Old Dao Gu.

Prime Minister Gao had never been so angry as he was at this moment: "This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am the Prime Minister."

"I know, I know. Prime Minister Gao, there's no need to emphasize this. No one wants your mansion." Old Gu clicked his tongue twice.

“You…you guys…”

"Noisy." A soft voice came out, Ye Qianning turned over and sat up, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Little girl, you're awake. Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Old Gu turned around and smiled.

Ye Qianning rubbed his eyes with his chubby little hands.

"You are just a child. Even if you are the daughter of Marquis Xiang Ming and the direct disciple of Dean Loushan, so what? You committed a crime in the Prime Minister's residence. I will report it to the emperor." Prime Minister Gao was filled with anger.

Ye Qianning yawned, his voice thick with sleepiness: "Prime Minister Gao really doesn't know why I'm here?"

"If you don't give me an explanation, I will never let it go."

"A few days ago, Prime Minister Gao's men broke into the Prime Minister's residence and abducted Fourth Wife. They beat her so hard that she's still unconscious. And the people who tried to assassinate me at Loushan Academy were also Prime Minister Gao's men, right?"

"You...what evidence do you have to prove that this is the truth?" There was a hint of panic in Prime Minister Gao's eyes.

"If I didn't have evidence, I wouldn't come here." Ye Qianning raised his hand.

Luo Xuan threw the booklet on the table at Prime Minister Gao, and the booklet fell to the ground again.

Prime Minister Gao hesitated for a moment before bending down to pick up the booklet. It contained not only records of injuries sustained by guards in his Prime Minister's Mansion, but also records of funds allocated by the Emperor in recent years.

The distribution at each level, the corruption and bribery, the list of officials, and the channels through which the tribute money entered the Prime Minister's Mansion are all clearly recorded.

Prime Minister Gao thought he had kept it secret enough, but he didn't expect the record to be so accurate, as if he had personally witnessed it.

This account book...

He subconsciously looked at Qian Fanji. The handwriting on the booklet was from Minister Qian's hand. It was absolutely unique. Qian Fanji was truly unique.

If the emperor saw this booklet, his position as prime minister would be lost.

"Prime Minister Gao keeps saying that he wants to seek the emperor's help. Could it be that the emperor ordered you to investigate the matter of the mutual generation of yin and yang?" Ye Qianning asked.

Prime Minister Gao's expression changed.

"If it is the emperor's order, we will go to the palace together to see him now." Ye Qianning was not afraid at all and got off the couch.

Prime Minister Gao dared not to appear before the emperor. He did not even dare to show the evidence of corruption, let alone the matter of competing for the mutual generation of yin and yang.

After all, the thing is now in the hands of the emperor. If the emperor knew that these ministers were coveting that thing, he would be furious and sentence them to death.

"What do you want?"

"Blood debt must be repaid with blood." A sharp look flashed across Ye Qianning's eyes.

Prime Minister Gao thought it over again and again, then turned around and called his entourage.

The attendant came over, and the prime minister lowered his head and whispered something to him, and then the attendant hurried out the door.

Ye Qianning rubbed his ears and heard clearly. Prime Minister Gao wanted to burn the bridge after crossing it and drag the guards out to take the blame. What a wishful thinking!

"I will give you an explanation for this matter." Prime Minister Gao stood with his hands behind his back, looking quite majestic.

Mrs. Gao was confused. What had the Prime Minister done to allow a little girl to hold him responsible?

They attacked the Prime Minister's Mansion, and in the end, she still had to give an explanation?

Zhan Yi was slightly puzzled. He knew Prime Minister Gao well and didn't believe he could be so straightforward.

After a while, an attendant came with three guards. The attendant leaned over and whispered something in the Prime Minister's ear. Prime Minister Gao's face immediately darkened, and he subconsciously looked at the hall to see if Ye Qianning had brought the secret guards.

Only then did he realize that the two rows of secret guards were covered in blood.

"The men who attacked Miss Xiang at Loushan were punished when Miss Xiang arrived. These were the guards who abducted the maid from the General's Mansion that day. They are now handed over to Miss Xiang. Please do as you please." After saying this, Prime Minister Gao turned around and scolded the guards, "Kneel down now."

The three guards knelt on the ground together.

Ye Qianning walked over, circled in front of the three of them twice, and said slowly: "If I kill him, Prime Minister Gao will have no objection, right?"

The three guards looked horrified and felt heartbroken.

"Leave the man to Miss Xiang. You can kill him or rob him as you please." They were just three guards, and Prime Minister Gao didn't take them seriously at all.

Mr. Gu pouted, "What a cunning old man!"

The guard kneeling on the ground was terrified when he heard this.

Ye Qianning sneered: "Prime Minister Gao really doesn't treat his guards as human beings."

"The people have been handed over to Miss Xiang. You can leave now." Prime Minister Gao drove them away.

Ye Qianning did not answer. Instead, he looked at the guards kneeling on the ground. The three guards were about eighteen or nineteen years old. Judging from their age, they should have been guards for less than two years.

"How many years have you been in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" she asked.

The guards trembled with fear, and when they heard the question, they exchanged glances. The oldest-looking boy among them said, "Just turned one year old."

"You have a very powerful way of beating people. Who did you learn that from?"

"Captain of the Guards."

"Well, it seems that the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion are well trained. Are they afraid of death?" she asked again.

"Afraid……"

"If I give you a way to live, would you dare to take it?"

The guard looked up, his face still filled with fear.

"Miss Xiang, I've given you everyone. Why are you still nagging me?" Prime Minister Gao said with a gloomy face and a hint of annoyance.

Ye Qianning turned around and said, "Prime Minister Gao is indeed a shrewd and calculating person."

Prime Minister Gao's brows were twisted.

"Prime Minister Gao, I am a child, not a fool. How dare the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion hurt anyone without the order of Prime Minister Gao?" Ye Qianning was certainly angry at the people who did it, but she was even more angry at the people behind them.

"What do you mean?" Prime Minister Gao asked solemnly.

"The blood debt that I'm talking about must be repaid with blood is the Prime Minister, not these guards who obey orders." Ye Qianning said with a smile.

Prime Minister Gao was surprised. He didn't expect that a little kid would be so difficult to fool.

Ye Qianning turned his head and looked at the guards kneeling on the ground: "You should know how hard you hit Fourth Wife. Now I want you to deal with Prime Minister Gao the same way you did that day."

The guards were even more shocked and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Don't push your luck." Prime Minister Gao said angrily.

"If you don't take action, not only will you die, but I will also kill your entire family, leaving no one alive." Ye Qianning's voice was light, and even the most childish voice could make people shudder.

Such a sound made the hairs of everyone present stand on end.

Old Gu couldn't tell whether what the little girl said was true or just a bluff, but he thought this was a good way of revenge. Whoever gave the order should be punished.

The guards were just following orders, so they were innocent.

Zhan Yi's face didn't look good either. Who did the little girl learn this from? Although her actions were a bit cruel and her tone was a bit bloody, when she thought about it carefully, it was not her fault.

But she is so bloody at such a young age. How will she get married when she grows up?

When he is brought back to the Zhan family, he will definitely let his wife teach him personally. It’s not too late for him as he is only six years old!
