Soon, thunder sounded and heavy rain poured down.
The rain hit the banana leaves, making a rustling sound, and countless drops of rain fell from the eaves.
Prince's Mansion, front hall.
A young man in a python robe sat in the house, watching the sudden rain outside. He held a cup of hot tea in his hand, which was still steaming, but at this moment, his eyes were gloomy.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard.
I saw a eunuch running in from outside holding an umbrella, his trouser legs were soaked by the rain.
"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty the Crown Prince!"
The eunuch put the umbrella at the door, entered the room, patted his sleeves on both sides, knelt on the ground in a hurry, and knocked his forehead to the ground.
This sinister young man in a dragon robe is none other than the crown prince of the current Dagan Dynasty!
"Get up!" The prince held the cup with one hand and the lid with the other, and kept using the lid to wipe away the tea leaves that floated up from the tea in the cup.
"Thank you, Prince!"
The eunuch stood up quickly.
"How's the person you asked me to investigate?"
The prince asked calmly. His voice was very majestic, giving people a feeling of authority without even being angry. No one was allowed to disobey his will!
"Your Highness, I have found out that the sinner An Ruxue married a man named Chen Xuan. This Chen Xuan is the son of the former general Chen Tianqiao and a direct descendant of the Chen family. However, he is a useless cultivator. Some time ago, he committed a serious crime of theft and was exiled to the border by the Chen family..."
The eunuch immediately told the whole story of everything he had found out.
Basically, it was about Chen Xuan setting out from the capital to the border.
Of course, the news coming from the capital at present is that Chen Xuan has just arrived in Mancheng.
The series of events that happened after arriving at the Barbarian City have not yet been reported.
"Asshole! What's wrong with the Chen family? They have to resort to such tricks to kill a woman. I think the position of Minister of Justice is not worthy for the Chen family!"
When the prince learned that An Ruxue was not only alive and well, but also married to another man, he was burning with jealousy.
The woman that even he, the prince, couldn't get, was actually won by another man. It was simply outrageous!
"It's really hateful! If the empress hadn't invited me into the palace and asked me to keep vigil for the late emperor for a month, An Ruxue would have died long ago. How could so many things have happened later?"
Bang!
Thinking of this, the prince threw the teacup in his hand to the ground. The cup was smashed to pieces in an instant, and the tea and the cup splashed everywhere.
After An Ruxue was thrown into jail, he could have used various means to kill her openly or secretly.
But for some reason, the empress suddenly summoned him into the palace and made him stay there for a whole month in the name of keeping vigil!
Why should we still keep vigil for a man who has been dead for almost twenty years?
Moreover, during the wake, no outsiders were allowed to see him!
In the prince's view, this is more like a disguised form of house arrest!
During this month, he knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world!
It was not until today that he came out of the palace, and the first thing he did was to ask whether An Ruxue had been executed.
After all, this woman whom he didn't get must not live if she knew his ambition!
But the news he got was that An Ruxue was still alive and married!
This is simply outrageous!
"Prince, please calm down, calm down!"
The eunuch trembled with fear when he saw him getting angry.
A trace of blood appeared in the whites of the prince's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "An Ruxue is not dead. It must be the Chen family's deliberate act. The Chen family supports the Eighth Prince and secretly opposes this prince everywhere."
"Do they really think that my position as crown prince is unsustainable?"
"snort!"
When the Eighth Prince was mentioned, strong hatred emerged in the prince's eyes. It was obvious that he hated this person who might threaten his position to the core.
Being in an imperial family, it is normal for even brothers with the same father and mother to become enemies!
Suddenly, the prince thought of something, stared at the eunuch and said coldly: "You just mentioned that in the Chen family, there is a man named Chen Tian, who is Chen Xuan's mortal enemy, right?"
The eunuch nodded immediately and said, “This Chen Tian arranged people to ambush Chen Xuan and his group on the road, but unfortunately they got through it safely.”
"Humph, useless trash!"
The prince snorted disdainfully, but soon, he changed his tone and said, "Check where Chen Tian will go during this period. This prince wants to meet him in person."
"Remember, my secret meeting with the Chen family must be kept secret. Neither the Eighth Prince nor the Empress can know about it!"
"I'll remember this!"
Only after the prince waved his hand did the eunuch dare to leave.
The prince turned the jade ring on his thumb with a playful look on his face, "Chen Xuan, right? Chen Tianqiao's son, haha, this prince will let you know what it means to live a life worse than death!"
…
Barbarian city.
Daybreak.
After Chen Xuan finished washing up, he went to the front hall to listen to Xiao Liuzi's report.
"Master Chen, according to the brothers' hard work last night, a total of 1,500 taels of gold and 12,000 taels of silver were seized from the Qin family, and the remaining calligraphy and antiques have not been counted."
"Eight thousand taels of gold were seized from the Chen family, but the silver was 21,245 taels, and the rest of the calligraphy and paintings were not included."
"In addition, we also took over the Chen and Qin families' rice shops, pawnshops, restaurants, banks, and other businesses..."
It can be said that all the assets of the Chen, Qin and Liao families have now fallen into Chen Xuan's pocket.
"Pass the order down. From now on, all food prices must return to normal!"
“At the same time, we need to open warehouses to provide relief.”
"There are too many refugees in the city with nothing to do. We need to build some projects to provide relief through work, so that the people can not only have food to eat, but also earn money!"
Chen Xuan thought of many ways to revitalize the Barbarian City.
If you want to be rich, build roads first!
He planned to let some refugees and beggars build roads, and at the same time, let other people clear the silt in the river and do farming and reclaiming wasteland.
As the measures were promulgated day by day, Xiao Liuzi exclaimed that Master Chen was mighty and was simply the great ruler of the Barbarian City!
"Oh, I remember there are six brothels in Mancheng, right? In addition to the four brothels controlled by the Liao family, there are two more brothels. The women in these two brothels must also be liberated!"
Chen Xuan directly carried out a series of drastic reforms.
He wants to exchange the entire Barbarian City for a new world!
Noon.
Ling Mo found Chen Xuan and brought someone with him.
"Master Chen, this man is Jiang Baili, and he is my confidant!"
Ling Mo introduced that Jiang Baili was a captain of a thousand men.
"Jiang Baili has met Master Chen!"
As soon as Chiang Bai-ri saw Chen Xuan, he immediately knelt on one knee and clasped his hands together.
