The First Tyrant of Daxia

Royal study room.

Gu Chuntang had been waiting for a long time. He stood up and bowed.

"My dear, there is no need to be so polite. Tell me what's the matter." Qin Yun said

"Your Majesty, I am here for two reasons."

"First of all, the Xiliang Grain Station is now fully operational and has met your expectations."

"Master Guo Ziyun has made great contributions. He will return to the imperial capital in three days."

"The second thing is about Cao Hui's flower drum. I have already gone to comfort the family of the innocent deceased and promised the dignitaries that Cao Hui will be captured and severely punished in the near future, and his life will be used to pay for his life."

Hearing this, Qin Yun nodded.

"It's a good thing that Lord Guo is back. The construction of the He Ya cannot be separated from him, the Minister of Revenue."

"When the time comes, I will send the Imperial Guards to pick him up in person. I will hold a welcoming banquet for him and commend him for his contribution to the Xiliang Grain Station."

"As for Cao Hui, I already have a clue, my dear, don't worry."

Gu Chuntang nodded, and then sighed again: "Mr. Guo is really a pillar of the country. He went to Xiliang and arrested more than 20 corrupt officials along the way."

"He handled the matter of Xiliang's military rations extremely well, and secretly accepted the surrender of several Xiliang generals on behalf of His Majesty. This once made Sima Zong furious, and he regarded it as a fishbone stuck in his throat!"

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This old man, why didn't you mention these things in your letter to me?"

Gu Chuntang said: "Mr. Guo is honest and not greedy for credit, so he did not report it."

Qin Yun nodded secretly, patted the dragon throne heavily, and said with emotion: "A loyal and trustworthy minister!"

"Now that you mention it, I am prepared. Lord Guo is a serious threat to the enemy and an important hub of Daxia's finances. His safety cannot be ignored!"

"Immediately send an order to the King of Zhenbei and ask him to send troops to escort Lord Guo away from the northwest."

Gu Chuntang nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Qin Yun looked at the sky and said, "Come on, my dear minister, accompany me to walk in the snow, and by the way, we can talk about the current development direction of the court and the strategy of worrying about difficulties!"

"Obedience is worse than respect!" Gu Chuntang smiled indifferently. Even though he was the prime minister, he was still so easy-going.

……

Blue County.

On a snowy mountain where the cold wind is howling.

Cao Hui's face turned red, and his triangular eyes flashed with dangerous anger!

He roared in the snowy forest: "You bastard, you dare to capture my wife and children, you dog emperor, I will let you know what the price is!"

Pfft!

With a disdainful laugh, Gongsun Zan walked out of the snow.

Cao Hui looked at him fiercely and said coldly, "Do you think it's funny?"

"Of course it's funny!" Gongsun Zan raised his eyebrows and snorted: "You want an emperor to pay the price for killing a few civilians. Don't you think it's childish?"

"The conflict of public anger will not be directed at the emperor, but at the Ni'er Society and you, Cao Hui."

"The prime minister just went to the door and settled the matter, and you are still making people pay the price, tsk tsk."

The frivolous and disdainful tone made Cao Hui angry!

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately drew the sword from his waist, and with a roar of sword sound, he placed it on Gongsun Zan's neck.

"Although you saved me once, you better keep your mouth shut, or I'll kill you anyway!"

The tone was cold and full of murderous intent.

But Gongsun Zan was not afraid at all, and asked quietly: "Is this how you treat your allies?"

"Your wife and children have been invited into the palace, which means the emperor has discovered something. It is extremely difficult to rescue them. They will die anyway. My master asked me to show you a way out."

Cao Hui snorted coldly: "Maybe it's just a coincidence?"

"Coincidence? Do you believe it yourself?" Gongsun Zan asked back.

Qingpiaopiao continued, "As far as I know, the emperor is extremely lustful and likes mature women the most. As long as he likes them, he will take them all into his harem."

"Master Cao, can you imagine what kind of insult your wife who doesn't know about it will suffer?"

Veins popped up on Cao Hui's forehead, and he thrust his sword further forward, almost cutting Gongsun Zan's neck.

Gnashing teeth: "Shut up!"

Gongsun Zan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sharp: "If you lose your wife and children, you can remarry, but if you miss the opportunity, you will never have it again. Do you want to take real revenge on the emperor and make him feel bad?"

Cao Hui's eyes were as big as copper bells, he gasped, and stared at Gongsun Zan.

He knew very well that what Gongsun Zan said was true.

The emperor secretly captured Qi to force himself to submit. Going to the palace to rescue her would be like hitting a rock with an egg. It would be better to hide in the dark and give the emperor a head-on blow!

When he thought of his wife and children, his heart bled, especially the emperor's lust made him even more angry!

"Tell me, how can we truly and effectively avenge the dog emperor and make him feel the pain."

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan smiled slightly.

He held up two fingers to block his knife and looked towards the west.

He said, "In three days, an important person close to the emperor will come back from the northwest. You can ambush him secretly and kill him."

Cao Hui frowned: "Another frontier official? Is your master using me as a tool?"

Gongsun Zan said calmly: "We each take what we need. My master will also do his best to help you with what you need."

"Three days later in the evening, you will ambush at the Linshu pipeline."

"I advise you to kill him directly, and don't try to exchange him for someone else. Even if you do, you, Cao Hui, won't be able to escape once you are exposed. You can't even beat a small leader of the Jinyiwei."

"The emperor today is no longer the same as he used to be. If he wants revenge, he can only do it in secret, otherwise it will be like hitting a rock with an egg."

After saying this, Gongsun Zan walked away slowly.

Cao Hui's gray beard trembled and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a thumping sound.

The triangular eyes reflected a fierce light, and he said hoarsely: "You dog emperor, we should have kept our distance from each other, but you touched my brother, my wife and children!"

"You forced me to do this, let's wait and see!"

……

royal palace.

Qin Yun had just seen Gu Chuntang off.

Wuming brought back Qi and her two young sons at night.

"Your Majesty, the person has been secretly brought back and placed in the Zongzheng Temple." Wuming said.

Qin Yun nodded and asked, "Did you encounter any threats on the way? Especially in Xingnan Cloth Shop, are there any hidden masters?"

Wuming shook his head and frowned, "I didn't find anything unusual."

"It's strange to say, this Qi is confused and seems to know nothing. She even asked me timidly whether the cloth shop business was involved in a lawsuit."

"After some observation, this Qi family should be innocent."

Qin Yun rubbed his eyebrows: "What about her husband? How does she explain?"

Wuming added, "Qi said her husband has difficulty walking, but he would occasionally go out for a few days. Although her husband is a live-in son-in-law, he is actually the head of the family, and Qi doesn't dare to interfere."

"This time she disappeared, she thought she was just going out to have fun."

Qin Yun frowned. Has the clue reached a dead end?

If Wang Hui is not captured, the Ni'er Society will not be considered destroyed, and it will be impossible to track down Chaotian Temple and Gongsun Zan. The entire winter plan will be completely stuck at this link!

"Your Majesty, what should we do with Qi and her young son now? Should we torture them and continue to interrogate them?" Wuming asked.
