Chapter 75: Doing All Kinds of Evil
Normally, when they attended court, each one was more talkative than the other, but today they all kept their necks hunched, not daring to look up at the Emperor Nanyue who was sitting above.
Wang Dequan was the best at reading the emperor's expression and knew that the emperor was still angry with the queen.
Fuchen shook his head and coughed twice, "My dear ministers, if you have something to say, please report it. If not, please dismiss the court."
The Fourth Prince's men stepped forward and reported to the Emperor, "Your humble servant has something important to report."
"Permitted."
“Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, I would like to report that Mr. Zhou, the prefect, has evil intentions. He has secretly raised an army, mined iron ore, and has disregarded human lives. In short, Mr. Zhou is a perpetrator of all kinds of evil.
This is the evidence, please review it, Your Majesty."
Everyone knows that Lord Zhou is the Shuntian Prefecture Governor’s man, and the Shuntian Prefecture Governor is the Queen’s elder brother. Now there’s going to be some fun to watch.
The Queen's lineage is the most powerful, and it seems that they have been caught in this situation.
Otherwise, the Fourth Prince's in-laws would not have come forward to make such a fuss.
But the Fourth Prince is a hopeless person who only knows how to hang out in red-light districts all day long and has no knowledge of anything.
If a person like this becomes the emperor, then the Longyuan Kingdom will really be finished.
If they were to say, the War King is the most capable, but... they heard that the War King is inhumane, and inhumanity means he will have no offspring.
How could an emperor be childless? That would be a huge joke.
So the King of War probably doesn't have this opportunity. Dongfang Chen sat on the chair with his legs crossed, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The corners of the mouth are curved into a beautiful arc.
It seems that they are all smart people. They know that when the opportunity comes, they will step on the queen.
I believe the other princes will also step forward, and it will depend on who is more powerful.
It’s just that they are not as powerful as the fourth one.
Everyone else was deceived by the illusion created by the fourth brother, who was a man of both civil and military talents, and whose martial arts skills were quite powerful.
He also has a group of loyal warriors, an army, and industries.
Which prince doesn't have a mine? Speaking of mines, the princess must be particularly fond of it.
Every time he talks about money, he looks like a little money-grubber, which is so cute.
No, Princess, every part of her is so cute, especially when she is in love.
It really was like a flower blooming. When he thought about that feeling, damn, he felt a tightness somewhere.
Fortunately, he was sitting and no one noticed anything unusual about him.
Otherwise he would have to kill these people.
Emperor Nanyue took the evidence from the eunuch and looked at it carefully.
After watching it, I could hardly control my temper. These people are so brave.
He actually dared to pretend to obey his orders but actually did the same thing for him while getting paid.
Damn it, damn it, damn it all! Emperor Nanyue slapped the table.
"Zhou Yunjie, you are so brave! How dare you! You are corrupt and take bribes, you are embezzling and perverting the law. Aren't you afraid that I will chop off your head and kill all your clans?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am wronged! Your Majesty, you must stand up for me!"
"Humph, it's unfair. The evidence is all there, and you're still crying foul.
Do you think I'm blind? You guys are so bold. "
"Puff."
The War King suddenly laughed out loud.
Emperor Nanyue rolled his eyes at his son who was just watching the fun.
"Zhan Wang, what are you laughing at? Why don't you tell me what it is, or are you mocking me?"
Dongfang Chen: "Father, why are you asking this question even though you already know the answer? How did you get to sit on the throne in the first place? Huh???
"You...are a rebellious son. You are always a rebellious son."
Dongfang Chen: "Haven't I always been like this? It's not like you just found out today.
Your Majesty, your other beloved sons will have some thoughts when you say this. Haven’t they always been your pride?
Why have you become a rebellious son today?
The Second Prince: "Brother, what you said is not right. You are the first son of our father. If he says he is the most favored, then of course you are the most favored.
Aren't you afraid that your father will be sad when you say this? Your father has always been so good to you."
The Third Prince: "That's right, that's right, Big Brother, as the eldest son of our father, you should share our father's worries. Brothers should be respectful to their younger brothers.
Look at you... "
Everyone in the court secretly glanced at King Zhan, who was truly unique.
The other princes were all standing, only Prince Zhan was sitting, and he was so unruly.
Dongfang Chen leaned back in the chair, stretched out his long legs, and supported his face with his slender hands. The picture was damn beautiful.
Even though the War King wore a mask due to his disfigurement, his profile was incredibly handsome.
It would be great if she hadn't been disfigured. After all, the late queen was the most beautiful woman in the world.
It’s a pity that she was so beautiful but had a tragic life and left so early.
Dongfang Cheng raised the corner of his mouth in a nice arc, "You two are singing in unison, it's really a pity not to go to the opera.
What does this have to do with you? What's your business? I advise you to clean up your own mess.
Otherwise, your fox tails will be exposed one day."
The Second Prince: "Brother, although we are not born of the same mother, we are born of the same father. Can't we just live in peace? Do we have to fight each other?"
Dongfang Chen: "Are you worthy?" Ha.
Emperor Nanyue: "Alright, everyone, stop talking to me. When we talk about business, you all bow your heads to the ground.
Now each of you is more eloquent than the other. Look at what you have done.
No wonder so many people are complaining, it’s because of you officials who don’t do anything.
"Prefect Zhou, what do you think I'm going to do with you? Execute your entire clan or confiscate your property and exile you? You decide."
Zhou Yunjie was so scared that he almost peed himself. "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty! I will never dare to do it again."
All the mistakes are my fault. I beg the emperor to spare my family.
It is not a pity for me to die alone, my children are still young, and the emperor has shown mercy."
"Hmph, how dare you! How dare you bargain with me? Who ordered you to do that?"
Zhou Yunjie secretly glanced at the Shuntian Prefecture Governor.
Song Chuhuai glanced over and spoke with his mouth.
Be careful with your words, otherwise... Song Chuhuai made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Zhou Yun knew it was like this when he received it. It was over, it was over.
He was completely finished. It seemed that he had no choice but to die to atone for his sins, just to preserve his bloodline.
Zhou Yunjie made up his mind, "Your Majesty, it's my fault that no one ordered me to do this.
Your Majesty, I am willing to die, but I beg you to spare my family.
I will be leaving first. And Mr. Song, I hope you will not let my efforts go to waste. Otherwise, I will not be able to save you even if I become a ghost."
Bang.
Zhou Yunjie died by hitting his head against a pillar on the street, which shocked the civil servants.
Blood was flowing everywhere, and Wang Dequan immediately called the eunuch to clean it up.
The emperor glanced at Song Chuhuai. This man was really capable, able to force others to such a point.
It seems that the Song family is no longer easy to control, and their ambitions are obvious.
