The prince clenched his fists tightly, gnashing his teeth as a fierce look flashed in his eyes. This Fourth Prince was indeed a fanatic, always stirring up trouble at critical moments and making the situation even more chaotic.
At this time, the Crown Prince saw the Fifth Prince approaching and quickly said, "How about we go out and get together? Hey! Fifth brother! Come with us!"
The Fifth Prince glanced at the Crown Prince and the other princes and spoke slowly, "You guys, pretending to get along harmoniously on the surface, but secretly fighting each other to the death, it's truly disgusting! Instead of staying with you, I'd rather go find my brother Wei. Maybe that way I can live longer!"
After hearing this, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince's faces instantly turned gloomy. They stared at the Fifth Prince with angry eyes, as if they were about to spit fire!
The King of Qin was the only one who was not angered. He secretly sighed in his heart that his fifth brother was really a man who acted on impulse!
The fifth prince's words made the crown prince and several other princes look gloomy, and they finally parted on bad terms.
When Emperor Wen learned of this, he snorted coldly, "These sons of mine are no pushovers! The fifth son is truly not afraid of offending others!"
At this time, before Nan Yi was torn apart by five horses, Xiao Jingyi asked the jailer to see Xiao Jinghan. The jailer did not dare to neglect it and immediately passed the message to Xiao Jinghan.
When Xiao Jinghan entered the cell, he looked at the man in front of him with a stern face and asked in a cold tone: "Is there anything else you need to say to me?"
Xiao Jingyi looked dejected, lowering his head, and said softly, "Since I've already lost, there's nothing to complain about! I just hope you can leave a way for my children to survive!"
Xiao Jinghan raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Why do you think I want to help you!" His eyes were full of ridicule and disdain, as if the person in front of him was just a jumping clown.
Xiao Jingyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said in a low voice: "What if I exchange it with the truth about your mother's past? I know you have the ability to save my children!" His eyes were fixed on Xiao Jinghan, as if he wanted to see through his inner thoughts.
Hearing this, Xiao Jinghan's expression changed slightly, and his fists in his sleeves tightened.
Over the years, he has been trying to investigate the truth behind his mother's death, but he has never found any clues.
And now, Xiao Jingyi actually said that he knew the truth. If this is true, then it is not a bad idea to use this truth in exchange for the lives of Xiao Jingyi's children.
After a moment's silence, Xiao Jinghan said coldly: "You can save them, but they can't live in Dazhao!" His tone was firm and unquestionable.
A trace of pain flashed across Xiao Jingyi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He forced a faint smile and said, "It's good to be alive!"
Xiao Jinghan stayed in the cell for a short time before coming out. His face was frighteningly gloomy, as if water could drip out of it.
Luo Lingyue leaned against the wall, looked at Xiao Jinghan, and asked softly, "Do you believe what he said?"
Xiao Jinghan's eyes were icy, as if filled with endless chill, and his voice was equally cold and ruthless: "He wants to save his children, there's no need to lie. And I will send someone to verify this matter, if it is confirmed to be true..."
Luo Lingyue frowned slightly and interrupted him: "If it's really as he said, what are you going to do? Will you seek revenge on them? Kill them?"
Xiao Jinghan gritted his teeth, a fierce look flashing in his eyes: "No, killing them is too easy for them. I will make them live in pain and regret for the rest of their lives, and let them know what it means to live a life worse than death!"
Luo Lingyue looked at him calmly, her tone gentle but firm: "Your enemies are in the capital, and my enemies are also in the capital. Therefore, we must find a suitable excuse to return to the capital."
Xiao Jinghan silently took out the half tiger talisman from his arms, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile: "This half tiger talisman will be the key to our return to the capital."
The next morning, a commotion was heard in the distance. It turned out to be Xiao Jingyi being escorted to the execution ground. His face was pale, and his eyes were somewhat dim.
When he saw Xiao Jinghan sending people to escort his wife and children away, a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He sighed deeply and thought to himself: If I had not been seduced by power and had stuck to my bottom line as a loyal and brave general, would I not be in such a desperate situation today?
However, reality cannot be changed. A flicker of regret flashed across his eyes, but more of a sigh of helplessness towards fate. He understood that it was all because of his own lust for power that he had fallen into his current predicament.
At the same time, Chen Zheng supported General Shen and slowly walked to the execution ground. General Shen patted the back of Chen Zheng's hand with deep emotion, and said in a slightly excited voice: "My child, your father's unjust case has finally been vindicated!"
Chen Zheng nodded silently, her eyes filled with relief. At this moment, she felt that her years of persistence and hard work had finally paid off.
As soon as Xiao Jingyi died, King Wu'an Xiao Jinghan abolished the harsh taxes and levies that Xiao Jingyi had previously imposed!
The news spread like a spring breeze throughout Nanyi, and people rushed out of their homes, celebrating the hard-earned peace and tranquility.
The streets and alleys are filled with laughter and singing. Children are running and playing in the streets, and the elderly are sitting in the doorway to bask in the sun, with happy smiles on their faces.
Shops in the city reopened, merchants began to get busy, and the market became bustling.
Farmers also returned to the fields, working hard, looking forward to the harvest season.
