Shen Ming's long tenure as Prime Minister of Donglai was not due to luck. He once skinned a tough guy alive to force information out of a spy.

He slashed the man a thousand and one times, and after getting the information he wanted, he ended the man's life with a single blow, as he watched him pleading in pain.

Therefore, he is very good at how to cut people into pieces and make them feel the greatest pain, but they cannot die.

He would first cut off Xie Tingyu's ten fingers and ten toes, and then, slowly...

He will make the person who killed his sister in the previous life pay a heavy price!

After this incident, he knew that he could not escape death.

But it doesn't matter. Now the safety of the Marquis' Mansion can be entrusted to Fu Jiuli...

But he never expected that when he swung his sword for the second time, a broad knife would block his sword.

Shen Ming narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly exerted force with his hands, intending to kill the person who tried to stop him.

The blocker pulled down his mask and said, "Sir, stop. It's me."

After Shen Ming saw the other person's appearance clearly, he raised his hand and slapped Xie Tingyu, knocking him unconscious.

Then he looked at the blocker with cold eyes: "Are you Shura?"

"Yes!" Shura put away his knife and saluted Shen Ming respectfully.

Shen Ming: "Nine Thousand Years Old sent you here? Why did you stop me from killing him?"

Shura: "The master has made proper arrangements. Don't take any risks, it's not worth it."

Shen Ming raised his eyebrows: "I have already cut off one of his fingers."

"Young Master, just leave first. Shura will take care of the aftermath and ensure that nothing happens to you."

"What if I must kill him?"

"If you insist on doing what you want, Shura can't stop you, but the master has said that if you want to do anything, think about your sister before making a decision."

"Humph!"

Shen Ming flicked his sleeves and left the cell.

Is Fu Jiuli really that kind? He's just worried that if he dies at this critical moment, his sister will be in mourning for him and won't want to marry him!

At the court meeting on the second day, Censor Liu was the first to submit a petition: "Your Majesty, Xie Tingyu colluded with the enemy and committed treason, nearly committing a grave offense. Even though Concubine Duan pleaded for his life to spare his death, he should still be given an appropriate punishment. Only in this way can we give an explanation to the people of North Vietnam!"

The Emperor of Beiyue's expression instantly darkened.

He had just lost his beloved concubine yesterday and was already in a heavy mood. He couldn't sleep last night, recalling every detail of his acquaintance and love with Concubine Duan.

Concubine Duan's only last wish was that Yu'er could live, and it was such a tragic way of exchanging one life for another... How could he bear to let her die with regrets?

Therefore, he had issued an oral order yesterday to pardon Yu'er from the death penalty.

But Liu Yushi, this blind man, came to violate his taboo so early in the morning, he was simply seeking death!

The Emperor of Beiyue was extremely angry and laughed: "Then tell me, how should we punish him?"

Censor Liu's body trembled violently.

He had been an Imperial Censor for thirteen years and was always adept at reading the emperor's expressions. How could he not know that the emperor was angry? Or was he furious?

How could he not know what Your Majesty wants to hear?

But he doesn’t dare!

Freedom of speech was the norm in North Vietnam. Even if he displeased His Majesty, he would at most receive a glare from His Majesty. But if he offended that...

OK!

Censor Liu felt bitter, his legs trembling as he said, "Your Majesty, I believe that only by exiling Xie Tingyu to the northernmost wilderness can the people's resentment be appeased."

The northernmost part? That’s an extremely cold place!!!

The Emperor of Beiyue's face instantly turned pale. He was about to explode when he saw that, except for Fu Jiuli, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to exile Xie Tingyu to a barbaric land to appease the people's resentment!"

Even the Sixth Prince knelt down and pleaded with the ministers.

The Emperor of Beiyue almost couldn't catch his breath. His face was so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out. He looked around and finally set his eyes on Fu Jiuli, the only one standing.

He tried to slow down his tone and said, "Minister Fu, what do you think about this?"
