The most romantic little emperor

Qin Hao was overjoyed. Damn it, this bastard Su Gan would not cry until he saw the coffin. He almost let him get away with it under the torture of the shadow guards.

He immediately ordered, "You did a good job. You and Old Thirteen continue to interrogate Su Gan. Use all the means you can. Take turns to interrogate him continuously. Just leave him a breath and don't kill him. You will definitely get more valuable information out of him."

"Yes."

Achen took the order and left.

Qin Hao picked up a pen and began to write a letter. When he was done, he handed it to Ah Yue. "Yue'er, send someone to give this letter to Fan Wenhai and have him immediately conduct a surprise interrogation of Sun Zhigang and Deng Huyong. You can use torture to extract a confession, regardless of whether they are dead or alive."

A Yue took the order and left.

Qin Hao tapped his fingers on the table, constantly thinking about the situation before him.

After a while, A Yue came back, followed by Su Zhengfang and his son. Qin Hao stood up to greet them.

After the greetings, Qin Hao got straight to the point and said angrily, "Lord Su, this afternoon, on my way back from the General's Mansion, I was assassinated by hundreds of people. I almost lost my life at their hands. Who do you think wanted to kill me?"

"Ah! Your Highness, you were assassinated? Are you okay now? Have you seen the imperial physician?" Su Zhengfang pretended to be ignorant and asked with concern.

Qin Hao took in his expression and tried hard to suppress his anger, cursing inwardly, "You old fox, you answered the question irrelevantly and took the opportunity to change the subject. You pretended quite well. If I didn't know that you were a traitor, I would have been fooled by you."

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Su. Thanks to the guards who risked their lives to save me, I am now safe and sound."

After Qin Hao finished expressing his gratitude, he started to curse: "Yesterday the Crown Princess was attacked, and today I was attacked. The attacks one after another have made me dare not leave the palace. These traitors are simply lawless."

"If I find out who is behind this, I will tear them into pieces and make them suffer eternal damnation."

After hearing this, Su Zhengfang and his son were terrified. Of course, they were not frightened by the prince's anger, but they were worried that the shameful things the Su family had done over the years would be exposed, or that the prince would catch them.

Su Zhengfang asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you have any suspects?"

Qin Hao said without reservation: "After the preliminary investigation of the scene by the Ministry of Justice, it is suspected that the White Lotus Sect assassinated this king."

"Oh? The White Lotus?"

Su Zhengfang was horrified and said angrily, "Damn it, are the remnants of the White Lotus Sect going to revive?"

"Oh? Lord Su, do you also know about the White Lotus Sect?"

Qin Hao said happily: "It's really a case of searching for something without any effort. I just asked some people, but no one knew about the White Lotus Sect. Fortunately, Lord Su knew about it. God is really wise!"

"No, no, no, I just happened to have heard of the White Lotus Sect, and I know very little about it."

Su Zhengfang quickly refused, fearing that Qin Hao would link him to the White Lotus Sect.

Qin Hao waved his hand and laughed, "My dear Lord Su, you are worrying too much. I believe what you say without a doubt."

"I am completely in the dark right now. Tell me as much as you know!"

"This……"

Su Zhengfang hesitated and didn't know where to start.

Seeing his father hesitate, Su Yong whispered, "Father, just say what His Highness asks you to say!"

Su Zhengfang pondered for a moment before slowly telling the origin of the White Lotus Sect.

However, to Qin Hao's regret, what Su Zhengfang said was no different from what Feng Lao said. He did not find anything valuable. It only confirmed once again that the White Lotus Sect was indeed the remnants of the previous dynasty.

"When a nine-petal red lotus is born, the Central Plains will be plunged into blood and rain." This is not just an empty statement, it has indeed been circulated for a long time and has added a mysterious color to the White Lotus Sect.

Qin Hao remained silent for a long time until he came to his senses after hearing Su Zhengfang's question.

He bowed to Su Zhengfang and said sincerely: "My dear Su, you must help me, otherwise I don't know what to do!"

"Your Highness, this is unacceptable! I cannot bear this!"

Su Zhengfang lifted him up, bowed and said, "Your Highness, please tell me what you want to do. I will do my best, even if it means my death."

"Good good!"

Qin Hao said happily: "I just happen to have something that I need you and General Su to do."

Su Zhengfang was immediately filled with a thousand alpacas. It turned out that the prince was waiting for him here! Was everything he had just done just a fake?

Su Zhengfang said helplessly: "Your Highness, please tell me if I can help you."

Qin Hao cursed in his heart, "You old bastard, you just said you would rather die than refuse, but now you are playing the trick of shirking responsibility. Do you want to make a fool of me, the prince?"

He suppressed his anger and said with a forced smile, "It's like this. I heard that banditry has been rampant in various places recently, especially in the area between the capital and Hedong. Many bandits have emerged overnight. Now the banditry has reached the point where we have to suppress it."

"I want General Su to lead the army and wipe out the bandits. What do you and General Su think?"

"This……"

Su Yong looked at Su Zhengfang, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He did not expect that the prince would assign him such a task. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.

However, no one knew more about the bandit problem in Daxia than Su Zhengfang and his son. The current situation of the bandit problem was indeed as the prince said, to the point where they had to be suppressed. On this point, the prince did not lie.

Su Zhengfang thought for a long time before making up his mind. He bowed and said, "Your Highness, Su Yong is the general of the right camp and is responsible for the protection of the capital. It may be inappropriate to rashly transfer him away from the capital."

Qin Hao had expected Su Zhengfang to answer like this, so he didn't hold out much hope.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he had an idea.

He shook his head and sighed, "My dear Lord Su, I am grateful for your hard work and contributions. I wanted to appoint Su Yong as the Grand Marshal of Suppressing Bandits to eliminate the banditry. This will increase his qualifications and prepare him to lead the country's troops in the future."

"Since you don't want to, forget it! I'll let Wang Jian go!"

"Ah! This..."

Su Zhengfang was also confused by Qin Hao, and for a moment, he couldn't figure out what Qin Hao meant.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the prince had evidence of the Su family's crimes and deliberately transferred Su Yong away to attack the Su family? Or did he really need to rely on the Su family's influence in the army and take the initiative to show goodwill and appease the Su family?

The father and son each had their own guesses and were undecided.

Seeing this, Qin Hao laughed secretly in his heart. He decided to give the father and son another bait to see if they would take the bait.

"Oh, there's one more thing I need to tell you about."

Qin Hao said calmly: "I have decided to establish the Qilin Guard. I wonder what Minister Su and General Su think?"
