Chapter 322: The New Emperor x The Poor Princess of the Former Dynasty 5

Imperial Palace

Jun Molin is discussing the riots in some towns with officials in the Qinzheng Hall. Because he has only been on the throne for a short time and the people are unstable, Jun Molin still has a lot of things to deal with.

Although he was eager to meet the eldest princess, whose portrait had made him want to possess her, the current situation did not allow him to leave the palace. Moreover, the eldest princess was a princess of the previous dynasty. If he wanted to make her his woman, there were still many things to deal with.

Jun Molin hung Jinjin Qiao's portrait in the Qinzheng Hall so that he could see it whenever he raised his head while handling government affairs.

However, this blatant behavior was still seen by the officials who entered the Qinzheng Hall to discuss matters. The portrait was too eye-catching. Such a woman could only be the eldest princess of the previous dynasty.

General Sima, who had followed Jun Molin to conquer the world, was the first to express his opinion when he saw the painting.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Jun Molin was still very polite to General Sima. He nodded and said, "General, just speak frankly."

General Sima bowed and said, "Your Majesty, may I ask if the woman in this painting is the eldest princess of the previous dynasty?"

Jun Molin raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Oh? General Sima has met the princess?"

General Sima shook his head and said, "I have never seen the princess of the previous dynasty, but the appearance of the woman in this painting can only be matched by the princess."

Jun Molin smiled and said, "General Sima guessed correctly, this is indeed the eldest princess."

General Sima frowned upon hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, I should know what you are thinking, but she is the eldest princess of the previous dynasty after all. I suggest not to keep her to prevent future troubles."

"There are riots in many towns right now, and it's closely related to the previous dynasty. If they knew that the princess is still alive, it would be even more difficult to control them."

Jun Molin raised his hand to stop General Sima from saying the next words, "I know what General Sima meant, but I think she is just a woman. As long as she is in the palace, she will not hinder me."

"Besides, I don't think a woman has the power to make me lose this kingdom."

General Sima knew Jun Molin's decisive character too well. Now he was trying every means to avoid harming the princess of the former dynasty. He must have been moved.

General Sima did not mention the eldest princess again for the rest of the time. Only after returning to the general's mansion did he summon his confidants.

"Awang, send people to find the whereabouts of the former princess, and kill her without mercy after finding her."

General Sima curled his lips mercilessly. In his heart, no woman was more important than the country. If the princess of the previous dynasty was about to become a stumbling block for the emperor, he could deal with her for the emperor without hesitation, even if the emperor got angry afterwards.

Following clues, General Sima's men quickly found Liuli Village. Because of Shunfeng's warning, the village chief did not dare to tell the ferocious and evil person Qiao Jinjin where she lived.

However, General Sima's men were very brave because they had General Sima's support, and they actually killed the village chief out of anger.

When the village chief's wife saw this scene, she screamed in fear and turned around and ran out. However, no matter how fast she ran, she was still killed.

The village chief's son and grandson were not spared either.

In less than an hour, the village chief's house was raided because he refused to reveal where Aunt Qiao lived.

General Sima's men killed people without hiding their guilt, brazenly holding bloody knives.

"Tell me, where did the princess of the previous dynasty live?"

The villagers who were caught could only shake their heads. How would they know anything about the eldest princess? Just like that, more than 50 households in Liuli Village were wiped out within one day.

Aunt Qiao had already learned about the situation from the system and was gritting her teeth in hatred. Those were human lives after all, how could they be so cruel to kill them without any hesitation, not even sparing the elderly and children.

"System, are you sure Jun Molin is the hero? How can his subordinates be so cruel? I seriously doubt whether Jun Molin is suitable to be the emperor."

[Host, I believe that Jun Molin was not aware of the massacre. The current situation is so chaotic, he would not allow his officials to make such a mistake. It must be his subordinates who came up with the idea themselves.]

"Princess, please follow me and leave here."

Aunt Qiao was talking to the system when suddenly Shunfeng rushed in, grabbed Aunt Qiao's hand and ran out.

Dabai followed closely behind. This tiger actually knew that the man in black had no ill intentions towards Aunt Qiao.

"Who are you? Where are you taking me?"

Shunfeng did not answer, but turned to Dabai and said, "Go back to the mountain first. When you escape this disaster, I will let your master find you."

Qiao Jinjin touched Dabai's head and said, "Dabai, you go back to the mountain first, I will come back to find you."

Dabai rubbed Qiao Jinjin's hand and walked towards the back mountain reluctantly. The way he looked back every few steps made Qiao Jinjin doubt whether Dabai had human thoughts.

"Princess, I'm sorry," Shunfeng said without waiting for Qiao Jinjin's consent. He put his arms around her waist and started using light skills.

Shunfeng used Qinggong to take Jinjin Qiao away quickly. Although his kung fu was good, facing more than fifty people who knew martial arts, he could not guarantee that Jinjin Qiao would be unharmed.

"Over there, chase him."

Shunfeng's face was full of seriousness. He recognized that the leader was General Sima's men.

General Sima must have acted without the Emperor's knowledge. It looked like he was going to send a letter to the Emperor to inform him of the situation.

Jun Molin received Shunfeng's secret letter three days later. He was immediately furious and threw the letter in his hand to the ground. His tone was extremely cold, "Liucheng, quickly summon General Sima to the palace to see me."

General Sima was not at all panicked even though he received Jun Molin's summons. Jun Molin's throne was not yet secure, and General Sima was very confident that the emperor would not do anything to him.

As a result, General Sima was overconfident and was stabbed by Jun Molin as soon as he entered the Qinzheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Jun Molin's face was gloomy, and his tone was full of murderous intent. "You are so brave that you actually sent people to hunt down the princess."

When General Sima heard Jun Molin say this, he covered his bleeding wound nonchalantly and said, "Your Majesty, this is for your own good. If the princess is not removed, your throne will be unstable."

"For my own good?" Jun Molin sneered. "For my own good, I mean slaughtering all the people in Liuli Village? How do you want the people of this world to see me?"

"Impossible." General Sima did not believe Jun Molin's words. He had clearly instructed that only the eldest princess should be killed. How could he possibly massacre the entire village?

Jun Molin closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had regained his composure.

"I'll give you two days to handle this matter. If you can't handle it well, I don't mind finding someone else to be the general."

Jun Molin is not worried about Aunt Qiao for now. With Shunfeng protecting her, there will definitely be no problem.
