Professional Ethics of a Concubine

When the Fifth Prince saw him crying bitterly, he felt refreshed and his uncomfortable emotions disappeared.

"The God of Fire is the brightest and kindest god. Once you have undergone the purification ceremony and have confirmed that your heart is no longer filthy, the God will naturally forgive your dirty past."

After the Fifth Prince finished his pretentious speech, he knew it was time for him to leave, so he said to the chief guard behind him,

"Take Bai Zi away, arrest the rest of the Bai family, and put out the fire. God doesn't want to see innocent people implicated."

The captain of the guards responded with great respect, not even daring to raise his head or look directly at the Fifth Prince, the divine messenger.

The fifth prince turned around and walked towards the palace surrounded by many fanatical believers.

And in a dark corner, Xie Jin took the musket, turned around and left quietly along the dark corner.

The shot that just killed Bai Chi was fired by him.

Because he had the best skills with muskets and was the most accurate, and this most important and intimidating scene in the show-off had to be ensured to be performed successfully, Crown Prince Xie Jin personally took to the battlefield.

In fact, they wanted to save Bai Chi's life at first, but after careful consideration, they felt that it would be better if he died in public.

His death can shock other members of the Bai family and make this divine punishment more realistic.

The Fifth Prince left, and Xie Jin also left

However, the third prince who came to watch the show shed tears of envy:

"Fuck! The Fifth Prince has already acted so well. It's unbelievable. Just now he looked like... a messenger of God! Ahhh, I can also play the role of a messenger of God. Why didn't you choose me?"

The third prince looked up at the fire that had not yet been extinguished, grinned sadly, and wiped his tearless eyes.

The sky in the Western Region is about to change!

-

The drama at the Bai family’s main residence has ended. There are more dramas here. After all, it is in the royal city and involves too many things.

At the same time, drama was also going on at the Baijia Salt Mine and the Gold Mine.

In these two mines, there were the Empress's men and the awakened "nails". They received the mission the day before the explosion.

Tonight, they need the cooperation of the nails to drug the managers of the gold mine and the salt mine, and then let them die in the explosion.

As for the Bai family's guardian guards, their lives would also be harvested by the masters sent by the empress.

The power of landmines is limited, and the empress does not want to blow up the mine, but only wants to blow up the house where the Bai family is stationed in the mine.

Just having a loud noise and a scary effect will be enough. Those members of the Bai family who cannot be killed by the explosion will naturally be killed by someone and will not be allowed to reveal the truth.

After the explosion, the Empress's people were responsible for spreading the word about divine punishment and organizing the transfer of the hard laborers, settling them in nearby farms.

When the turmoil is completely over, they will be given houses and fields so that they can start a new life.

As for the Bai family's gold mine and salt mine, because the people in charge were blown away and the enslaved people all escaped, the Bai family's gold mine and salt mine became deserted for a time, and people around were unwilling to get close.

Later, the Bai family sent people there again to deal with the problem. However, they were also afraid in their hearts. Moreover, there were too many pieces of flesh, arms, legs, and heads that were blown to pieces in the ruins, which really scared people away.

What’s even more outrageous is that some people who hold resentment towards the Bai family would go there at night and act like ghosts and demons.

This went on for a few days, and the people sent by the Bai family to take over the gold and salt mines ran away again, fearing that there would be more divine punishment.

The Bai family members are now in a difficult situation, and each of them is like a frightened bird. They no longer force their subordinates to go to the gold mine and salt mine.

Later, under the deception of the Fifth Prince, the messenger of God, the gold mine and salt mine were presented to the empress by the Bai family and officially taken over by the court.

Those hard laborers working in salt mines and gold mines will no longer be subjected to inhumane treatment. They can have enough food and clothing, have a fixed salary, and can take leave when they are sick.

Although life was still hard, at least I could survive and even save some money, and I began to have hope in my heart.

Of course, these are all for later.

-

Let’s get back to the royal city.

After the Fifth Prince finished his performance, he returned to the palace and saw the Empress. He excitedly said to her,

"Mother Queen, that old fellow Bai Chi is dead! Big brother is really amazing. He hit him in the chest right away. I can see how terrified he was when he died. He must have died with his eyes open!

His son Bai Zi was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged me for mercy, asking the God of Fire not to punish him and not to bring down divine punishment. Hahahaha, it was so satisfying! "

Although the Fifth Prince has some backbone, it is really not much, just a little bit.

When he learned that the ones who asked him to play the role of God's messenger and helped him to complete his revenge were the Crown Prince of Zhao and his close tutor Ye, he hesitated for only two nights before "betraying" his father and choosing to get closer to his half-brother.

When he saw Xie Jin again, he called him "Big Brother" affectionately, and he almost called Ye Qingzhi "Sister-in-law".

Ye Qingzhi firmly disagreed and asked him to call her Master Ye.

What the hell is "sister-in-law"? Hearing this title and looking at the Fifth Prince's flattering, no, overly earnest face, she felt as if she was the woman of a gangster boss.

"Did you have fun? Are you completely happy?" The empress looked at him and asked.

"Happy! Glad!" The fifth prince nodded vigorously with great excitement, then looked at Ye Qingzhi and asked for help sincerely.

"Master Ye, now everything has been done as you said. What should we do next? Do I have to keep playing the role of the envoy of God?"

"I will not be involved in the following matters. Your Majesty will have to make the final decision." Ye Qingzhi smiled and waved her hand.

"How far you want this divine punishment to expand will also determine how the political power and divine authority will be balanced in the future.

This kind of power balance issue in the court is not something I am good at, so it is better for Your Majesty, Your Highness, and our Crown Prince to discuss and decide. "

The Fifth Prince felt disappointed when he heard that Master Ye had not come up with any new or interesting ideas.

Is this the end?

Alas, he hasn’t had enough yet!

Playing the role of God's messenger, being worshipped by believers, and using means to punish evildoers, he is the savior in the eyes of believers and poor people. This feeling is simply amazing!

To this end, he has been practicing hard these past few days on how to act cool, no, how to make himself look more majestic and sacred, and he has also learned a lot of tricks to deceive people.

Just like fire in the palm of your hand.

If I don’t use it in the future, it would be heartbreaking just thinking about it.

"What do you want to discuss with me?" At this time, Prince Xie Jin also came back and asked with a smile.

"It's about theocracy." Ye Qingzhi yawned and said sleepily, "But I suggest we talk about it tomorrow. It's too late today."

It was already late at night and she had been feeling sleepy for a long time. When she saw her leader had returned safely, she could no longer bear the sleepiness and now she just wanted to go back to sleep.

Who among her family members would understand? Since she came here, she has never stayed up all night except for New Year’s Eve. When she stayed up all night, she felt really sleepy!

"Well, let's disperse and go back to rest." The empress glanced at the dozing Ye Qingzhi and waved her hand.

Crown Prince Xie Jin then took his leave from the empress and took Ye Qingzhi back to rest.

The Fifth Prince,

Oh, is he the only one who is so excited that he can't sleep?

After the Fifth Prince said goodbye to the Empress, he went to another palace to rest with a feeling of excitement but also a little disappointment.

After lying on the bed, he recalled what happened that night. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep at all.

It’s normal for the fifth prince to be unable to sleep.

Anyone who knew that divine punishment was coming, except Ye Qingzhi and the Crown Princess and other people who had nothing to do with it, could sleep soundly, while the rest of them suffered from insomnia.

Those nobles, whether they were conservatives who opposed the empress's rule or the new generation who supported the empress, could not sleep and gathered together late at night to discuss the truth of the matter.

The vast majority of nobles did not believe in divine punishment, and they all judged that this was the empress's method.

The empress took advantage of this incident of divine punishment to target the Bai family, raised the status of the fifth prince, won over the Zoroastrian believers, and severely intimidated them.

It can be said to kill several birds with one stone.

The conservatives sat together, each with a solemn look on their faces, and no one spoke for a while.

After a long while, the oldest elder finally spoke.

"Who among you witnessed the Bai family's divine punishment today?"

"I went there. I live very close to the Bai family. When the loud noise first sounded, I was awakened. Thinking of the rumors of divine punishment, I immediately put on my clothes and led people to the Bai family."

One of the thin middle-aged men spoke up.

“When I arrived with my men, I saw the green flames burning in the air. To be honest, I was scared. I didn’t know how there could be such a fire.

Before I came to my senses, I saw the Fifth Prince and others coming, Bai Chi was confronting him, and then..."

He paused for a moment before continuing,

"You may not believe this, but when Bai Chi fell, there really was no knife or sword stabbing him. In my opinion, there was a not-so-loud sound and a big gash appeared on his chest. Afterwards, I went to see his wound and the surrounding flesh and blood was burnt..."

After the thin middle-aged man finished speaking, the scene became more solemn. Many people shuddered, and fear of the unknown was revealed in their eyes.

After a while, a fat black man stiffened his neck, slammed the table, and shouted angrily,

"The Empress must have some secret weapon! As long as we find out the reason, we can break her conspiracy!"

"You make it sound so easy. How can we find it easily? Or is it a secret weapon?!"

……

Out of anxiety and fear, they started quarreling over a disagreement.

The alliance has collapsed.
