The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

"His Highness said he wants you to give an explanation."

Li Qing said calmly, at this moment he had no other thoughts, he was just waiting for Qin Tian's response.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian took a deep breath and stood up.

"Someone is coming!"

The guards outside immediately rushed in, awaiting Qin Tian's orders.

"Bring Li Fu here!"

Li Fu was Qin Tian's servant and also his confidant. Now that such a thing had happened, Li Fu was naturally the first to be implicated.

"Yes."

Upon hearing Qin Tian's order, his men quickly brought Li Fu to him.

At this moment, Li Fu was still a little confused, not knowing why the master had suddenly ordered someone to arrest him.

"Sir, what has happened?"

Li Fu looked at Qin Tian with a puzzled expression, wondering what had happened.

"Li Fu, tell me, where did this token come from?"

Qin Tian looked at the token in his hand and asked with a cold expression.

When he saw the token, he already had someone he suspected.

"Master, this..."

Li Fu hesitated for a moment, after all, he knew that this was the work of his young master, and if he told outsiders, Li Tian would lose face.

"Li Fu, don't worry about this matter. Just tell me, where did the token come from?"

Qin Tian looked at him with a slight smile on his face.

"Master, this servant..."

Li Fu looked at Qin Tian with a nervous expression. He was very uneasy and didn't know how this matter would end.

"Say!"

Looking at Li Fu's appearance, Qin Tian suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It's the young master!"

Upon hearing Qin Tian's roar, Li Fu immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"what?"

Upon hearing Li Fu's words, Qin Tian's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected his son to have such audacity.

Only then did he realize that he had probably been tricked by his own son.

After all, this was a prince, and now that a prince has been assassinated, this is a major event.

"My lord, His Highness has asked us to give you an explanation."

Looking at Qin Tian's expression, Li Qing realized that his son must have been the one who did it.

Qin Tian's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this. After all, this was no small matter. If he didn't give Yang Ling an explanation, he feared he would lose his position as prefect.

He smiled at Li Qing and said, "I will personally apologize to Your Highness for this matter. Please convey this to Your Highness."

"Alright, I will convey your message to His Highness, but you must do it as soon as possible, lest His Highness become impatient."

Li Qing glanced at Qin Tian, ​​then a smile appeared on his lips.

After saying that, he turned and left. Qin Tian looked at the token in his hand, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

……

"Young master, the master has arrived."

At this moment, Qin Haoxuan was on the city wall of Bingzhou, looking into the distance.

"You go down."

Upon hearing his subordinate's words, Qin Haoxuan said calmly, though he had already made his plans in mind.

"Master, the young master is already waiting for you."

Qin Tian's face was extremely pale; at this moment, he felt a throbbing pain in his head.

When he arrived at the city gate of Bingzhou, Qin Haoxuan was standing there.

"Father, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Qin Tian, ​​Qin Haoxuan immediately spoke.

"Haoxuan, tell me, what's the deal with that token?"

Qin Tian looked at him, feeling extremely distressed, as this matter concerned whether he could continue to serve as the governor of Bingzhou.

If he really dares to assassinate the prince, then I'm afraid I'm doomed.

"Father, rest assured, I will definitely kill that brat."

Qin Haoxuan did not reveal the matter of the token, but simply said it calmly.

After all, in his view, as long as Yang Ling could be killed, everything would be fine.

But before he could finish speaking, Qin Tian slapped him across the face.

"You bastard, do you know what you're saying? He's a prince! How dare you assassinate a prince? How many heads do you have?!"

Qin Tian glared at him angrily, feeling extremely indignant.

After all, his son was incredibly audacious to do such a thing; how could he explain this to his superiors?

Qin Haoxuan looked at his father's ferocious face and gave a cold smile.

"Father, I know what I'm doing, so please don't worry."

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Qin Qi was so angry that he slapped him again.

After all, her son had gone too far. She had really neglected to discipline him, otherwise, how could he have done such a heinous thing?

Seeing his father's expression, Qin Haoxuan immediately became angry.

"You bastard, you..."

Qin Tian was stunned after hearing Qin Haoxuan's words.

"you……"

Qin Haoxuan was furious when he saw his father like this. He couldn't understand why his father had become like this.

Was he really that useless in front of Yang Ling?

“Father, haven’t you always wanted to do this? Why are you dissatisfied now that I’ve done it?”

Qin Haoxuan snorted coldly, his face filled with disdain.

"Father, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he turned and left, no longer in the mood to stay there.

Watching Qin Haoxuan's retreating figure, Qin Tian felt utterly helpless. He knew that his son had been blinded by power.

But since things have come to this point, there's no other way but to go all the way. They can't just kill their only son for the sake of a prince.

……

Upon hearing Li Qing's report of his return, Yang Ling wore a faint smile.

He never expected that Qin Tian's son would do something like this.

"Your Highness, shall we pursue this matter further?"

Upon hearing Li Qing's words, Yang Ling smiled slightly. He knew he had to investigate. Could it be that his status as a prince was inferior to that of a rich young man?

"Not only should we investigate, but we should also escalate this matter. Who am I? Do you think I'm just going to let this go?"

Yang Ling said with a cold expression. At this moment, he had decided to teach Qin Tian a lesson.

"That's what His Highness said."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing immediately nodded and said...

"Go and inform Qin Tian now to bring his son to see me. I will do this personally in front of him."

Yang Ling wore a faint smile; he wanted to see just how capable Qin Haoxuan really was.

……

Inside the prefect's residence.

Qin Tian's expression was extremely grim, after all, assassinating a prince was simply too audacious.

He originally thought his son was just a spoiled brat, but he never expected the other party to be so bold!

"My lord, what are your plans now?"
