Chapter 291 Your Choice, Prince
Qin Qiong sighed
"Road? Of course it's passable. I checked the map and that road should be the fastest and most suitable for large caravans. However..."
She was thinking about this question all the way. She was not a pacifist. She liked things that were a little more exciting. So, she liked to play games involving cold weapons, not shooting games. She liked to kill bosses, and she wanted to kill them in a satisfying way.
However, she is not a murderous person. She is a little cold, but she has seen and knows that there are still beautiful, kind and pure things in this world, so she does not want to become a killer.
Qin Qiong raised his head, looked directly at Prince Hong, smiled and said, "That depends on what the prince wants."
At this time, it was almost dusk. Qin Qiong had her back to the window, and the afterglow from the window sprinkled on her head and shoulders, making her look a little dark.
Hong Hecheng looked at the woman opposite him. She was very beautiful, with delicate facial features and a tall and slender figure. If she were to sit there with a shy smile like other women at this moment, it would definitely be a pleasing sight.
But this woman was not like that. Her smile was very cold, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was smiling very politely. But her eyes were not like that. There was no flattery, no shyness, and no flattery in those eyes. They were just very bright, surprisingly bright.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"That depends on what the prince chooses. If the prince wants to monopolize this trade route, he will have to take over the altar and cover up the evil deeds of those sinners. Although it can be regarded as revenge for those who died unjustly, their injustice will never be seen in the world, and their souls will always wail in that valley."
Qin Qiong said softly.
"But if the prince upholds justice for those who died unjustly and punishes the guilty according to the law, then the innocent souls in this valley will find peace, and there will be less evil in the world. But at the same time, that trade route will not only belong to your family, it will be made public, and everyone will be able to take this trade route in the future. So, I said that it depends on the prince's choice."
"What, what does this mean?"
Mr. Chen was the first to ask a question. He didn't understand why it wasn't possible to have both.
"We've known for a long time that something bad is going on here, but we just can't find any evidence. Why can't we redress the injustice for those people and at the same time protect that trade route? Do you know how important it is?"
Qin Qiong smiled, she was still smiling slightly.
"Because, if you really want to comfort those souls who died unjustly, you must expose the sins of those people and never do the things they have done again. Then, that path cannot be hidden."
"And if you want to hide it, and think that only you can master it, then you can only bear those charges and may commit the same crimes as them."
The room became quiet again.
King An Ning looked at the woman opposite him and kept looking at her.
The woman also looked at him, calmly, peacefully, without any disturbance. It seemed that no matter what choice he made, the woman would not show any surprise.
He was a little annoyed. How could there be such a woman in this world? He felt that he could not control this woman. He originally had some confidence...
"If it were you, what would you choose?"
He looked at her and asked.
"Of course I choose the second one. It's stupid to bear the sins for others. Besides, that road will be discovered sooner or later. I can only occupy it for a few years. Just for these few years, my hands will be stained with blood, which will keep me awake at night. This is not a good way to prolong life. No amount of money can buy it back. I won't do it!"
Qin Qiong laughed.
Prince Hong narrowed his eyes. This woman! ... She finally smiled again.
"Then you still let me choose?!" he said angrily.
"Hey, you are a man and a prince, how can you be the same as me, right?"
The woman had a playful look on her face.
"Pa!" Prince Hong slammed the table with his palm and glared at the woman fiercely.
He shouted, "Hurry up and tell me!"
"Say it, say it, I didn't say no, why are you so anxious?"
The woman immediately put on a flattering look, stood up and ran over, pouring a cup of tea for the prince in a flattering manner.
The prince still looked very angry. Yan Lu and Mr. Chen were a little confused...
Aren’t these two people a bit, um... redundant?
Jia Sicheng had just returned to Tuo Town. He had gone to the county a few days ago, where there were some matters for him to deal with. Now, it was becoming increasingly difficult to find capable people.
Originally, Dong Da from the town would always get him one or two every year, but now he is gone and he can’t find anyone to replace him here.
Some people say that Dong Da was manipulated by the Anminmeng, and some say that Dong Da went to other places to make money. He believed all these, was he manipulated by others?! Maybe, he has been getting more and more crazy in recent years, and something bad will happen sooner or later.
Ran away?! It is also possible that several people have run away for that matter over the years.
However, things were not going well this year. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and asked the Anmin League to take over the job. Otherwise, they would have to go into the mountains soon, and it would have been a disaster without the "human sacrifice".
But what will happen to the Anmin League in the future?
Humph! What's the matter? Those two siblings are just a pair of idiots, just like those people in the royal court.
At most, we can give them a share in the future. Can't they hire people? That's perfect. In the future, we can give them the job, saving him from looking for people everywhere. It's really a headache every year.
Originally he didn't want to look for anyone in the town, but this year Dong Da passed away, and several people outside had some troubles for one reason or another, which allowed the brother and sister to get the advantage.
He was sitting in the eldest wife's room at this time, listening to the housekeeper talking about the things in the town with his eyes slightly closed. His second brother was also sitting here, but he had already begun to doze off.
He sighed and shook his head. How could he have such a cowardly brother? Fortunately, he had the eldest lady in the family all these years, otherwise, what would he do?
"The young lady from the Qin family has been ill ever since she was frightened by that incident. Uncle Qin and Mr. Gao are watching over the affairs of the alliance. They have been buying grain everywhere these days. Originally, we wanted to sell some to them. But we didn't expect that old man Li would get involved. Now we heard that these two families have prepared four carts of grain together and want to go with us."
"It's really funny. We originally only agreed to let them follow five people, but they actually prepared four carts of food. How can we leave..."
"Old man Li? Is that Uncle Li?"
Boss Jia suddenly asked.
"It seems so, but the one who showed up was Uncle Li's eldest son... He was crazy because of poverty. I heard that Uncle Li wanted to marry his eldest grandson to a woman from a wealthy family in the town, but he couldn't come up with a decent betrothal gift and even borrowed money from other families."
"This is really..."
