When the court was dismissed, Xie Yunzhao waited for his father to return to the Princess's Mansion. When an official passed by him, they either shook their heads or snorted coldly.
Then he quickly walked past him, looking disdainful of walking with him.
Xie Yunzhao raised the imperial edict in his hand and uttered a chilling sentence: "It seems that I have to start from the homes of all the adults to see if there are any of your sons who take the lead in stopping His Majesty from building the Ascension Pavilion."
I knew he didn't know how to behave!
The ministers stopped in their tracks. They were obviously disgusted, but they had to put on a flattering smile and kept saying, "How could that be? We are all looking forward to it being completed soon."
"Since all the adults have expressed their opinions, then... Yun Zhao will not investigate the young masters of each family for now."
Xie Yunzhao's smug look made them so angry that their teeth itched. He was really going too far!
After returning to the Princess's Mansion, Duke Lu wanted to ask his son what to do next, but as soon as he turned around, the man had disappeared.
"Ma'am, I'm back."
A man's cheerful voice rang out in Shen Shurong's study.
The man, looking for praise, came over, put his hands on her desk, and waited for his reward with a smile.
Shen Shurong stood up indulgently and touched his lips across the table.
"Just for a moment?"
"What else?"
"Of course, kiss her a little longer." The man held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
He felt that the table was in the way, so he supported himself with his hands and jumped over, hugged his wife and continued to kiss her.
As they were kissing, someone's big hands started to act naughty again.
Chen Shurong held his hand and said, "Okay, husband, we have something else to do later."
The man was still not satisfied, so he leaned over and sucked her pink lips: "Got it, tell me, how many people should I kill?"
Chen Shurong showed a malicious smile on his face: "Kill more people, not all at the same time. Among the leaders, pick two people to kill first. This will inevitably lead to stronger opposition. Among those who strongly oppose, pick a few more typical ones to kill."
Xie Yunzhao also smiled with a crooked mouth: "Okay, I'll arrange it."
He hugged his wife and cuddled with her for a while before happily going out.
The Duke of Lu sent someone to call his son to see him, but he was completely ignored. If his father knew that he had killed so many people, he would be furious.
Xie Yunzhao, holding the imperial edict, led a team of personal guards and rushed to the Dengxian Pavilion.
......
At the Lu family, Lu Ziqian was discussing with his mother about getting married. He thought of Chen Shurong's half-sister, who was already fifteen years old after the Chinese New Year.
After all, she is the princess's sister. If he marries her, his relationship with Xie Yunzhao will be much closer than that with Gu Kaizhi.
Mother Lu was also analyzing the pros and cons. When she learned that her husband had returned from court, she asked her maid to invite someone over to discuss the matter.
As soon as Censor Lu sat down to drink a sip of tea, he heard Lu Ziqian's analysis of the marriage, which could allow him to take a further step with Xie Yunzhao.
Censor Lu was so angry that he put down his teacup immediately and said, "No, you'd better not get too close to him now. He will soon cause public outrage."
Lu Ziqian and his mother were puzzled. After Censor Lu told them what happened in court today, the two of them immediately backed off.
"Dad, doesn't that mean he's going to kill someone soon?"
"No, son has to go and persuade him." Lu Ziqian said and was about to run away.
"Come back, he has said that any son of an official who dares to stop him will be killed!"
"Dad, he won't treat his son like this." Lu Ziqian was confident.
"His relationship with you is one thing, but now that his family has offended His Majesty, he can't do anything about it, and it won't help if you go."
"Stay home to avoid trouble."
Lu Ziqian frowned and agreed.
After returning to his own yard, he quietly went out again.
Xie Yunzhao was riding a horse and noticed that many people were paying attention to him and even following him, but he pretended not to see them.
When we arrived at the place where the Dengxian Pavilion was built, there were many people gathered inside and outside.
In addition to the common people who were trying to stop the situation, there were also servants sent by each family to keep an eye on how the situation developed.
Xie Yunzhao nodded, quite satisfied with the attention.
There were also people inside who spoke passionately about resisting the construction of the Dengxian Pavilion and beheading the evil Taoist priests who were misleading the emperor with their evil words.
Xie Yunzhao walked in holding the imperial edict, and the person who took the lead in shouting secretly made a gesture to him.
"Look, the second son of the Xie family is here. He is the demon who was presented to the emperor by the Xie family. Now he is building the Ascension Pavilion for the emperor."
"Your Xie family is clearly a military family, but you have become a flattering and treacherous minister. We will never allow you to build the Ascension Pavilion."
Xie Yunzhao chuckled as he listened to what they said. He was quite good at scolding.
Then, he opened the imperial edict: "No more words, look carefully, the imperial edict!"
"Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed on the spot!"
The crowd unconsciously took two steps back.
"Come, the one who shouts the loudest, the one who takes the lead, come over here and die."
"No, why do you..."
Without giving them a chance to speak, Qingzhu Qingying stepped forward personally, grabbed one of them, and in front of everyone, stabbed them in the chest with the white knife and the red knife came out.
The two men widened their eyes in disbelief and fell in a pool of blood.
Did someone really kill someone? ! !
For a moment, the whole place was silent!
"Someone, take him away and don't let him get in the way here." Xie Yunzhao waved his hand in disdain.
He really killed someone, and killed two of them?
The servants in each mansion thought that Second Young Master Xie was crazy.
The people who were making trouble took several steps back. If someone really killed someone, how could they really die here since they had families and children?
They retreated and someone advanced.
"Don't be afraid, they just killed two people to scare us. I don't believe they dare to kill us all."
"Yes, we are against the evil ways. We did nothing wrong. They dare not kill people again. No one can retreat."
"Yes, they don't dare. With us here, they won't be able to build the Ascension Pavilion in this lifetime."
"Hand over the demon, and stop building the Ascension Pavilion."
The people shouted slogans.
Xie Yunzhao knew who was planted by Qingying at a glance: "You are quite courageous, haven't you heard of the reputation of the second son of Duke Lu's Mansion?"
"So what if we've heard of it? You're just trying to scare us!" Someone encouraged himself.
"Then I'll let you see for yourself." Xie Yunzhao waved his hand. Qingying walked into the crowd and picked out six people: "Second Master, they are the ones who are shouting the loudest."
"Okay, I have the imperial edict in my hand, no need to say more, kill!" At this moment, Xie Yunzhao was like the King of Hell, and the faint smile on his lips was like a signal of harvest.
Qing Ying had his men hold down the six men and kill them one by one, and this time more blood was shed.
The people watched six bodies being dragged away, with their relatives among them. They went completely crazy and rushed forward, shouting, "Where is justice?" and "How could someone be so disregarding of human life?"
Seeing the situation getting out of control, many servants ran back to report that the second master of the Xie family had killed eight people in one breath and wanted to kill more.
More people gathered around Dengxian Pavilion, each with a fierce look in their eyes, as if they didn't care about life and death.
"You bunch of troublemakers, wait for me to go to the palace and ask for permission, then I will bring the army to kill you all!" Xie Yunzhao shouted angrily, mounted his horse and ran away, with a sense of fleeing in desperation.
