"Shut up, you useless wimp."
Jiang Nan scolded the killer, "You coward, your duty is to obey orders. Is that what I asked you to do when I recruited you to my side?"
"Afraid of death?"
The killer looked at Jiang Nan as if he didn't know him and asked:
"Sir, aren't you afraid of death? If you are so carefree, why do you let me kill people instead of yourself?
That's what you said when you recruited me. But between life and death, is it wrong for me to choose life?"
Jiang Nan was furious: “I was able to gain a foothold in Prince Xuan’s Palace thanks to my unparalleled wisdom.
The reason you can stay by my side is your kung fu, your killing kung fu. How stupid you are to compare different things.
Stupid and cowardly."
The killer snorted coldly: "Sir, you are a god-like figure, you don't care about life or death, you are not a coward at all.
I can't do that. I have parents above me and a wife and children below me. I want to live, to repay my father for raising me and to fulfill my responsibility as a father.
In the face of life and death, I cannot abandon everything. "
As soon as these words came out, King Xuan’s anger erupted like a volcano: “You have parents, but Qin Nian doesn’t?
Do you know how much effort her grandmother put in raising her alone?
Just because you cherish your life, does that mean Qin Nian deserves to be killed by you?
Your life is life, but her life is not life?"
Mo Xuan's anger could no longer be controlled. As soon as he finished speaking, his feet moved like lightning and he instantly appeared in front of the killer and slapped him with his palm.
The killer fell to the ground without a sound and died.
Su Bi didn't even blink, as if he was always so calm, and as if he was used to seeing murders.
The incident happened too suddenly. Qin Nian didn't expect Mo Xuan to know kung fu, and he didn't expect him to suddenly kill someone. He was shocked.
King Xuan's anger was clearly not gone, he looked at Jiang Nan and said, "What did I tell you?
I didn't know that now you are in charge.
For the sake of your relationship with me, please tell me, what are your last words?"
Jiang Nan was horrified and shocked, "King Xuan, what I am doing is the most effective way to bring down Zhang Guohao.
Toppling him is equivalent to cutting off one of the eldest prince's arms. I am not doing this for myself, but for you.
If you overthrow the eldest prince, Prince Ding, you will have a better chance of succeeding the throne."
"For the king?"
Jiang Nan was a senior strategist, but he lost his composure at the critical moment of life and death and said something so ignorant that Jian Shou had committed a serious crime.
"At this moment, you still insist on saying that you will do it for me. I will grant your wish."
After he finished speaking, he also slapped Jiang Nan on the head.
Jiang Nan died instantly, his body falling limply. The prince's cruelty was fully demonstrated in Mo Xuan at this moment.
With a wave of his hand, several guards came in and dragged the two bodies away.
Mo Xuan looked at Qin Nian and said, "Miss Qin, this matter was caused by my negligence. It almost caused fatal harm to you and your grandmother. It is my fault."
Qin Nian lowered his eyebrows and said, "They also lost their lives because of this, so forget it."
She looked at Su Bi: "Let's go."
The word "we" irritated Mo Xuan and made him feel very uncomfortable. He said coldly:
"Ms. Qin is engaged, please respect yourself, sir. Don't be so selfish. You are you, what does this have to do with Miss Qin?"
Su Bi turned to look at him and said, "My Lord Xuan, I didn't realize that I lost my self-respect just because I said 'we'?
I am not Jiang Nan, nor am I your subordinate. Even though you are a prince, you have no right to tell me what to do. "
King Xuan's brows jumped, and Mo Yue quickly stepped forward and stood beside Mo Xuan. As a martial artist, he could see that the kung fu of the man in front of him was unfathomable.
There was no way he would let King Xuan fight this man. If something unexpected happened, it would be the end of him.
Qin Nian looked at King Xuan: "This matter is over. I still have a lot of work to do at home. I'm leaving."
After saying that, he bowed to King Xuan, turned to Su Bi and said, "You have something to do too, let's go."
Su Bi smiled and left with Qin Nian.
Seeing Qin Nian and Su Bi leave, Mo Yue spoke up: "My Lord, it seems a little inappropriate for you to kill Jiang Nan."
"Nothing wrong with that."
King Xuan sat on a large yellow pear wood armchair: "Mo Yue, do you think that I killed Jiang Nan for Miss Qin?"
Mo Yue had no expression on his face: "My subordinate is stupid."
“Jiang Nan dared to selfishly make the decision on such a major matter when this king clearly opposed it.
To put it nicely, this person is doing this for the king. In fact, he is stubborn and reckless.
If you keep him around, sooner or later he'll get into trouble.
This prince has wanted to get rid of him for a long time, and this time I just happened to find an opportunity, and I can also let Miss Qin vent her anger."
That day, Mo Xuan went to the county government office.
The county magistrate was a senior official, but he made friends with the powerful and harmed the innocent. King Xuan ordered that he be stripped of his official position and exiled to a bitter and cold place to suffer hard labor.
The legal advisor and the county magistrate were in cahoots with each other and were exiled together.
Zhang went back on his word, colluded with and bribed officials, and attempted to force purchases and sales, so he was beaten with 30 water and fire sticks as a punishment.
As for the new governor of Yi County, the decision must be made after the emperor is reported. Although it rained in Yi County, it was too late to plant crops.
Relief food is still distributed on a monthly basis, with each person receiving six kilograms of cornmeal per month.
After finishing all the work, King Xuan set out to return to the capital.
Before his carriage arrived in the capital, a servant of Mr. Zhang's family, riding a fast horse, entered the capital a day earlier than him.
He sent a letter to the Minister of War.
After reading the letter from home, Zhang Guohao learned that his father had been beaten with thirty water and fire sticks by King Xuan from the waist down, leaving a bloody mess.
Zhang Guohao gnashed his teeth in anger: "You Mo Xuan, for a commoner girl, you actually did this to my father.
I will definitely help the eldest prince ascend the throne.
When you fall into the hands of the eldest prince, I will personally beat you with a water and fire stick, making you unable to live or die.
When that time comes, you will know how powerful I am.”
Zhang Guohao wrote a reply, instructing his family to take good care of his father, but did not mention anything about revenge.
Prince Xuan is a prince, and a very capable prince.
You can just keep this kind of thing in your heart and write it down in a letter. If anything unexpected happens, the letter will fall into the hands of King Xuan, and the black and white words will serve as evidence.
He has been an official for so many years that he has developed a cautious character.
The next morning, King Xuan's carriage entered the capital.
He first went to the palace to report, and received praise and rewards from the emperor. The court officials were used to looking at the emperor's face, and they also congratulated Prince Xuan on a job well done.
It was very lively in the Golden Palace.
In Prince Xuan's mansion, Princess Ji Haitang had received a report early on that Prince Xuan had returned to the capital and gone to the Golden Palace to meet the emperor.
For Qin Nian's sake, Prince Xuan beat up the father of the Minister of Military Affairs Zhang Guohao and exiled him to be the magistrate of Yi County. Ji Haitang also knew about it.
She understood one thing: Mo Xuan must have fallen in love with Miss Qin from Dawa Village.
Jealousy is inevitable, but as a woman in the palace, she always understands one thing: she cannot be the only one around the prince.
When you become emperor in the future, there will be more women around you.
You can have as many women as there are stars in the sky, but the prince cannot fall in love.
No matter which woman the prince falls in love with, that woman must die.
