Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

The Fourth Prince wants to see Zheng Qian?

This is a good thing! They were still thinking about how to meet the Fourth Prince and beg him to save their people, but unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince came to them himself, which rekindled their hope.

"President, once you see the Fourth Prince, be sure to ask him to save our brothers!"

"Yes, the Fourth Prince is kind-hearted and considerate of us poor people."

"Yes, if we beg the Fourth Prince properly, maybe our brothers will be released."

Zheng Qian coldly observed the merchants, who seemed to have forgotten the grudge of the guards' attack on the caravan. Upon hearing about the Fourth Prince, they were all excited and eager to establish some connection.

Zheng Qian asked in a cold voice, "The Fourth Prince's name is Lü Jin, right?"

Zhang Xinghai sensed something was wrong, but still honestly answered Zheng Qian, "Yes."

"The Fourth Prince's name is good. The character 'Jin' means beautiful jade, symbolizing the Fourth Prince's purity and wisdom."

"Yes, the Fourth Prince is gentle yet resolute, exceptionally intelligent, and has lofty ambitions."

"The Fourth Prince proposed reform policies because he was deeply concerned about things that would benefit the country and its people. He is a good prince who is committed to his lofty ideals."

Listening to these people's eager flattery, Zheng Qian felt like vomiting.

Bang.

Zheng Qian slammed his hand heavily on the table, silencing the room instantly. He spoke coldly.

“Go tell Lü Jin that others respect him as the Fourth Prince, but in my eyes he is nothing but a piece of trash. Jia Shi is doomed. Let him use whatever ideas he has. I, Zheng Qian, am here waiting for him.”

The room grew even quieter, and everyone wore expressions of fear.

The guild leader called the fourth prince a piece of trash, and they all heard it. They all deserve to die.

The face of royalty must not be desecrated.

"Father, I..."

"Get lost. If you keep pretending to be stupid with me, I'll go to Qixin Tower and kill that piece of trash Lü Jin."

Zheng Qian was furious, and everyone was so frightened that they dared not breathe loudly. Zhang Xinghai had no choice but to run to Qixin Tower to find the Fourth Prince.

"Fourth Prince, Zheng Qian is injured and has difficulty moving around, so he cannot come." Zhang Xinghai reported to the Fourth Prince from his carriage at Qixin Tower.

He dared not tell the Fourth Prince Lü Jin Zheng Qian's exact words, otherwise Lü Jin would be so angry that even the dogs on West Fourth Street would be stabbed.

"Zheng Qian is injured? What about Jia Shi? Why didn't you bring him?" Lü Jin stared at Zhang Xinghai. Jia Shi was his chief strategist and his eyes and ears outside the palace. He had received news that Jia Shi had been injured and dragged away by Zheng Qian.

"Jia Shi is also injured. Zheng Qian has already arranged for someone to treat him, so don't worry." Zhang Xinghai didn't want Lü Jin to cause trouble for Zheng Qian, so he could only protect Zheng Qian in every way.

Lu Jin looked at the bloodstains left by Jia Shi being dragged on the street, then glanced coldly at Zhang Xinghai, "Are you having another episode of your madness? Let's go find Zheng Qian."

Inside the wing room on West Fourth Street, Zhang Dayou's men finally delivered the news: all the brothers of the Chamber of Commerce had been imprisoned in the Underworld of Yan City.

The Underworld Prison, located beneath the guard camp in the eastern district of Yan City, is the most heavily guarded and cruelest prison in the Wu Yan Kingdom. Once you step into the Underworld Prison, there is no hope of ever getting out.

Just as Zheng Qian was about to set off to rescue Zhang Tiezhu and the others, a eunuch's shrill voice came from the doorway.

"The Fourth Prince has arrived!"

Everyone knelt down on one knee to greet them, except for Zheng Qian and Jiang Siting, who sat quietly in their chairs.

The Fourth Prince, Lü Jin, had a kind face, and his presence in the private room made the kneeling merchants feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

"This humble subject greets the Fourth Prince!" Everyone, including Zhang Youcai, was very excited and shouted loudly.

The fourth prince saw Zheng Qian and Jiang Siting, as did the eunuchs and guards around him.

The eunuch pointed at Zheng Qian and Jiang Siting, and loudly questioned in a shrill voice: "You audacious commoners, you do not kneel before the Fourth Prince, do you intend to rebel?"

"You bastard, if you keep barking, I'll throw you out." Zheng Qian's voice was icy; he was waiting for the Fourth Prince to give him an explanation.

"you……"

"Alright, that's enough. Get up, all of you." The Fourth Prince asked Zheng Qian, who had a cold expression, after sitting down.

"So you're Zheng Qian? Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. And Jia Shi?"

"To ensure he's in good spirits, I had someone take him to see a doctor." Zheng Qian said with a wicked grin, tinged with hatred.

He wanted to raise Jia Shi to be in good spirits so that he could hand Jia Shi over to him and Yun Duo'er after rescuing Xu Shicai. This was the best way to heal Yun Duo'er's emotional wounds.

Seeing Zheng Qian's malicious smile, the Fourth Prince said calmly, "It's good that he's being treated. He's the liaison between you and me."

Suddenly changing the subject, the Fourth Prince asked, "How did you manage to destroy Qixin Tower?"

With a cold laugh, Zheng Qian stared at the Fourth Prince, "What's going on? How could you ask such a question, Lü Jin? You're truly useless."

Bang.

The fourth prince, Lü Jin, slammed his hand on the table, and the guards behind him drew their swords, ready to rush forward and kill Zheng Qian.

"Calm down, everyone, calm down." Zhang Xinghai hurriedly ran out to smooth things over. He knew Zheng Qian's stubborn temper. When he found out his identity, he didn't give him any face. Now, he wouldn't give Lü Jin any face either. However, he still spoke to Zheng Qian.

“Zheng Qian, the Fourth Prince represents the royal family. Saying such things is a capital offense. You should apologize to the Fourth Prince.” Zhang Xinghai said, while winking at Zheng Qian.

Dad, dear Dad, I'm giving you a way out. Please take this opportunity; your life is the most important thing.

Zheng Qian stood up with a cold laugh, shoved Zhang Xinghai aside, and stared directly at Lü Jin, "You know that the guards attacked the Chamber of Commerce, right?"

"We didn't know beforehand, but we found out afterwards."

"Our men went to Qixin Tower to seek Jia Shi's support, but they were surrounded and killed by Jia Shi instead. He even injured one of my sisters, you know that?"

Lu Jin's face was gloomy. He stared at Zheng Qian and said, "If it weren't for me holding the enemy back in the palace, Tie Jian would have already razed this place to the ground with his guards. You know that, right?"

As expected of royalty, upon realizing the topic was unfavorable to him, he immediately changed the subject and started talking about his own contributions.

"You're turning black into white. Calling you a piece of trash is too kind of you." Zheng Qian sneered. Lu Jin was once again called trash, and his face turned ashen. The guards behind him rushed forward.

Zhang Xinghai continued to act as a peacemaker, standing between the two groups.

"Fourth Prince, please calm down!" The members of the Chamber of Commerce knelt down and begged for mercy. He Zuowen was also sweating profusely. They couldn't understand why Zheng Qian dared to be so confrontational with the Fourth Prince.

President, people will die!

"First, you invested in the Chamber of Commerce. Although it was only 30,000 taels, we gave you a separate share, which couldn't be bought for 100,000 taels. We gave it to you because you are the fourth prince."

Secondly, only members of the royal family can mobilize the guards, and as a member of the royal family, you were completely unaware that they were targeting the caravan. As a shareholder, you have failed in your duty.

Third, when the guards attacked the caravan, instead of immediately finding someone to rescue our people, you came to ask for that good-for-nothing Jia Shi. This makes us very disheartened, and there is no point in following you.

Fourth, your status as a prince might intimidate others, but it's useless against me, Zheng Qian. If I want to kill you, these useless people behind you can't protect you, and there's also Jia Shi, that cancerous tumor. I don't believe you don't know he's a bad seed, yet you still rely on him. You're truly blind.

Lu Jin's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. He had never experienced anything like this before. Zheng Qian not only scolded him but also lectured him, and most importantly, threatened him. Did he really think he had no temper?

Looking at the row of business tycoons kneeling in a row, and then at the girl sitting quietly opposite him, Lü Jin felt a surge of anger but then suppressed it.

Zheng Qian's fearless demeanor suggests he's merely a fox borrowing the tiger's power.

No way, this guy is the God of Slaughter of the North Gate. He even killed dozens of noble sons who were on their way to gild the guards. He's a real tiger.

While those officials and nobles are still complaining in the palace, the eldest prince immediately pushed him out as a shield. After hearing the news, he secretly ran out to see what was going on. If Zheng Qian suddenly attacked and killed him as well, he wouldn't even have a chance to cry.

The fourth prince quickly figured out the key point. He had grown up in an environment of scheming and being schemed against, and he was very good at judging people and things. He believed that Zheng Qian really dared to kill him.

Zheng Qian must be won over to work for him; if he cannot be won over, he will become the biggest enemy.

Winning people's hearts.

Lu Jin immediately decided to win over Zheng Qian, and said with a smile, "Zheng Fangzheng is truly a man of pure heart. What you said makes sense. When I return to the palace, I will deal with the enemy and rescue the brothers of the merchant guild. After all, we are all one family."

The fourth prince actually said they were all family, which was a great favor, and the tycoons were extremely excited.

"Thank you, Fourth Prince. We are all family."

"The Fourth Prince's service to the country and its people is a blessing for Wuyan Kingdom."

"The Fourth Prince's great kindness and virtue will be forever unforgettable for the people of Wuyan!"

The fourth prince spoke up, and the brothers were saved.

That's the most complete hell in Wuyan Kingdom, a place known for its cruelest tortures. No matter how much they suffer inside, at least they have a chance to survive.

Zheng Qian waved his hand dismissively, "You don't need to do anything, I'll save myself."

"President, stop being so stubborn."

"Yes, President, you don't know about the Underworld. It's a place so scary that even a mosquito would pee its pants if it flew in."

"The Underworld is located in the back mountain of the Guardian Army camp. It is guarded by 100,000 troops and is a prison where you can never get out. President, please stop joking."

"Zheng Qian, just back down and apologize to the Fourth Prince. Don't venture into the Underworld anymore; it's too dangerous."

Even He Zuowen advised Zheng Qian that the Underworld was guarded by 100,000 soldiers, and no one could rescue anyone from it.

While everyone was outwardly trying to persuade Zheng Qian, they were actually blaming him for being so insensible. The Fourth Prince had already agreed to save people, yet he hadn't knelt down to express his gratitude.

Zheng Qian remained calm, staring at Lü Jin, whose face was gloomy but who was secretly pleased with himself, and said in a cold voice.

"It's just the Netherworld. I'll storm in and rescue my brothers in a bit."
