Huo Jinxuan turned and stared at him.
Yin Qing met his expression: "What's that look?"
Huo Jinxuan: "Mr. Yin is truly innocent."
"What did you say?" Yin Qing's face suddenly twisted.
"The lives of a mere twelve people, do you think the Earl's Mansion cares about it?" The huge mansions in the capital look glamorous on the outside, but they are places where people can be killed without bloodshed on the inside.
Not to mention twelve people, even if there were twice as many, the Earl's Mansion would not pay any attention.
Yin Qing was surprised for a moment, and his face twisted with anger: "He...they are taking human life lightly."
"So what? Do you think the government can do anything about it?"
If you have power, you can do whatever you want.
Yin Qing was speechless.
"You are really well protected by your family. No wonder Lord Yin rarely lets you leave the house." Huo Jinxuan laughed.
Yin Qing was unable to refute. He looked at Gao Qi and said, "Brother Gao, how do you think we can resolve this?"
"You've eaten and drunk enough, so why bother with this?" Takaki chuckled.
“…”
"If the Earl's Palace doesn't care about him, why would anyone else bother to care about him? No matter if it's a bloody show or not, as long as there's a show to watch." Takaki could hardly hide his joy.
"Brother Gao, you can't say that."
"What else? What can you say? Do you have the ability to save them?" Gao Qi glanced at him. "Even if you have the ability to save them, they are guards of the Earl's Mansion. They still have to go back to the Earl's Mansion. Do you think the Earl's Mansion will be merciful and let them live?"
Yin Qing's handsome face was a little pale.
Huo Jinxuan raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Master Yin, Gao Qi is right. Blindly saving people may just end up causing them to die in a different way."
Yin Qing pursed his lips slightly, feeling that his good brother was very far away from him at this moment.
I always feel that... they are too cold-hearted at heart.
Huo Jinxuan didn't say anything, and clapped his hands twice more before withdrawing them.
Takaki shook his head slightly and walked towards the city gate.
"Brother Gao, what are you doing?" Huo Jinxuan shouted.
Takaki didn't look back, but just waved his hand as a goodbye.
Earl's Mansion.
Ever since Lord Xu Chang learned that the Fifth Princess was the one behind blocking Marquis Xiang Ming from entering the city yesterday at the city gate, he was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
She is a princess and cannot be beaten or scolded. She was so angry that she almost couldn't sleep all night.
As soon as the news of the twelve people being hung at the city gate came to light, it reached the ears of Earl Xu Chang.
"Is it really hung at the city gate?"
Xu Chang was unaware of the assassination and leisurely picked up his teacup, listening only to the news as if it were something new.
Hearing about people hanging people at the city gate, he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
The housekeeper looked worried and anxious. "Yes, I heard from the soldiers guarding the city that it was Du Yi, the first-class guard beside the Eighth Prince, who did it."
"Whenever Du Yi does something, the Eighth Prince must be behind it. Tsk tsk, who is so bold? To mess with the Eighth Prince is to get skinned alive."
Xu Chang clicked his tongue and took a sip of tea from the cup.
"Yes...it's the prince."
"puff……"
Xu Chang had just taken a sip of tea and before he could swallow it, the tea spurted out of his mouth and nose with a "puff" sound...
“Cough cough cough…”
"Master, Master." The butler stepped forward.
Xu Chang coughed violently, grabbed the butler's arm, and stared at him with his eyes wide open: "Cough cough... cough cough..."
The butler met that gaze and trembled all over.
Xu Chang coughed up tears, and finally stopped, gasping for breath: "What did you just say? What did you say, the prince?"
