How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 96

[96.Chapter 96: Driving away wolves and devouring tigers]

. Suppress the Fusi prison.

Xing Laodao glanced at the pig-headed Ninth Young Master in the iron prison and marveled: “Who is this guy? How did he offend you? He was beaten like this?”

Lu Gan crossed his arms and crossed his chest and said coldly: “The eldest princess’s brother-in-law. , His Majesty’s nephew, Yuan Jiu of the Yuan family in Qingzhou.”

Immediately, Xing Laodao’s eyes widened: “…”

When he came to his senses, he silently gave Lu Gan a thumbs up: “You are awesome!

” Very calmly: “What are you afraid of? I’m already in debt, so I won’t worry about one more.”

This is also true!

Xing Laodao nodded.

However, the seventeenth prince, plus the eldest princess, Daxuan’s two most powerful royal children were all offended, which still made him feel numb.

“Didn’t you notice? There is something wrong with this guy’s body and he has no strength.”

At this time, Lu Qian said calmly.

“Hey, it’s true!”

After Lu Qian reminded him, Mr. Xing narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuan Jiu: “This guy’s body is broken and his blood is weak. He feels like he has been punished with ‘venting’.”

‘Leave’ Punishment is a kind of horrific punishment. It is usually administered by experts from the outside world of Dharma to destroy all the acupoints in the body.

From then on, the Gang Qi was exhausted and he became a mortal, with no hope of advancement.

In Dayoutian Prison, Xing Laodao also often performs torture on prisoners, but he cannot be as meticulous as the masters of Dharma and External Scenery. Therefore, the prisoners will feel extremely painful during the execution, and life would be worse than death.

“What on earth did this guy commit that is so outrageous that he was sentenced to death?”

Mr. Xing was extremely curious.

Obviously, this punishment was personally imposed by Zhao Xuanji, otherwise no one would dare to touch the emperor’s nephew.

“You can find out if you just ask.”

Lu Gan sneered and looked at the noble old man imprisoned in another prison.

However, before leaving, he pulled Xing Laodao into the secret room of the dungeon: “Where is the diner of the Seventeenth Prince, the Cha Lao who was yelled blind by the head of the Yaoshan Sect?”

“He is imprisoned in the third floor of the dungeon, what happened?” The old man is a little strange.

“Give me his diner token.” Lu Gan looked coldly and said something surprising.

After hearing this, Mr. Xing’s eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

“You can’t be…”

“That’s right. I want to pull the big flag and pull the tiger’s skin!”

Lu Gan narrowed his eyes: “The seventeenth prince is the most powerful in the court, but the eldest princess is not a peaceful master. She She controls the salt and iron operations in Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Pipazhou in the southwest. She even secretly confronts the Seventeenth Prince in the court, and seems to want to support her younger brother, the Twenty-third Prince, to ascend to power. This time, I want to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger!

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Lao Lu, you are real! But I like it! Haha, here you go!”

Xing

Laodao laughed when he heard this, found Cha Lao’s diner token, and stuffed it directly into Lu Gan’s hand.

Lu Gan walked out of the secret room and gave Qi Tianxia a look.

Qi Tianxia nodded in understanding, took the noble old man out of the prison, and followed Lu Gan into the lowest level of the dungeon.

There are closed cells here with good sound insulation.

Xie Anping, Zhou Hongyuan, and Baili Kuang were all detained on this floor, waiting to be executed.

After entering the prison, Qi Tianxia lit the oil lamp on the table and walked out, leaving only Lu Gan and the old man sitting across the table.

“Who are you?”

Lu Gan stared directly at the old man.

“I, Yuan Shang, am an old housekeeper of the Yuan family in Dongting County, Qingzhou.” The old man took a look at the surroundings with an extremely complicated expression.

Who would have thought that one day he would also be imprisoned?

“What are you doing here in Shashui? What’s that Ninth Young Master doing here?”

Lu Gan asked expressionlessly.

“I was sent to assist the Ninth Young Master. The Ninth Young Master committed an offense in the capital and was demoted back to Qingzhou. He should have been confined to Dongting County. But the clan was so troubled by him that they simply sent him to Qingyang. County, out of sight, out of mind. I heard that Shashui County was auctioning rice shops and medicine shops, so I came over to take a look and planned to buy a few so that the Ninth Young Master could splurge. “

Yuan Shang showed a bitter smile. .

Obviously, like the Ninth Young Master, he was also ‘assigned’ by the Yuan family.

“What did you commit?”

Lu Qian continued to ask with a cold expression.

“Kill someone.”

“Who to kill?”

“A pure woman, who is not selling her body as a performer, but the Ninth Young Master forced her to have her body. The woman refused, so she got angry…”

“Haha, it seems that there were more than a hundred people just now. There are less slaps.”

Lu Gan sneered, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

“However, with his status as a relative of the emperor, he is extremely precious. The death of a brothel girl shouldn’t make him suffer the punishment of ‘extraction’, right?”

Lu Gan narrowed his eyes, feeling that there was something hidden in it.

Yuan Shang sighed: “That night, the Ninth Young Master drank a lot of wine. After killing people, he walked across the long street, injuring ninety-eight civilians and killing… twenty-seven people.”

Lu Qian’s expression became stern, and his eyes showed a cold light.

But he frowned slightly and soon felt something was wrong.

There are so many powerful men at the feet of the emperor, how could they let a drunkard like the Ninth Young Master kill so many people?

What’s even weirder is that none of the brothel spectators, the guards of the Ninth Young Master, and the Feitian realm masters who had heard about it for hundreds of miles didn’t take action to stop it, and it ended up causing such heavy casualties?

This can be said to be a killing spree!

To be able to save a life, the eldest princess probably put a lot of effort into it.

Lu Qian pondered for a moment, always feeling that there were many doubts and strange things here.

The water is deep!

However, the deeper the water, the easier it is to fish in troubled waters!

Lu Qian sneered in his heart and looked up at Yuan Shang: “I can let him go.”

“Really?”

Yuan Shang’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Even though Lu Gan had a backer, he still had to worry about the eldest princess and the influence of the Yuan family in Qingzhou. These were not things that he, a little headhunter, could offend.

Facing the eldest princess and the two behemoths of the Yuan family in Qingzhou, Lu Gan, the little head catcher, was as small as an ant and could be crushed to death at any time.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang nodded and said with a smile: “Don’t worry. As long as you let him go, the Yuan family won’t care about them or cause trouble for you. Maybe they will reward you with an official position.”

This is of course a lie .

of.

With the character of the Ninth Young Master, as long as he goes out, he will definitely send people to kill Lu Gan overtly or covertly, but this is none of his business.

“Haha, I haven’t finished talking yet.”

At this time, Lu Gan sneered: “You can release him, but let the Yuan family redeem him with 200,000 taels of gold!”

“What? 200,000 taels of gold?”

Yuan Shang heard this. , his face changed drastically, his pupils shrank, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

“You don’t really think I let him go in vain, do you?”

Lu Gan couldn’t help but show contempt when he saw this situation: “That guy Yuan Jiu is arrogant and domineering, not only hurting people in the street, but also resisting arrest! He even let his subordinates bravely attack the imperial officials! In this case, the waiter’s soup and medicine cost 10,000 gold, the restaurant owner’s compensation is 10,000 gold, as well as my medical expenses, mental loss expenses, youth loss expenses, plus the various expenses for suppressing the division and mobilizing troops, count you. Two hundred thousand gold is already cheap.”

“…”

At this moment, Yuan Shang’s eyes were as wide as bells, and he finally knew what it meant to be a lion with his mouth open, and what it meant to be a ghost miser!

Also, what the hell is youth loss fee?

Yuan Shang calmed down the shock in his heart, his expression sank, and he said: “This is impossible! Lu Qian, although I don’t know who is behind you, you, not even Li Feng, can afford to offend the Yuan family! You still Let him go quickly!”

“Can’t afford to offend?”

Lu Gan sneered and said sarcastically, “That’s okay, then I’ll find someone who can offend the Yuan family. I wonder if your majesty is qualified? The Zhenfu Division will report today’s matter to the imperial court. When the time comes, it doesn’t matter whether they are released or not.”

“…” Yuan Shang was silent.

“Ten thousand gold! At most ten thousand gold!” After pondering for a moment, Yuan Shang’s eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice.

Ah.

Lu Gan sneered disdainfully and slammed the Meteor Sword on the table: “What about this?”

Yuan Shang’s pupils narrowed.

He recognized this sword as the Fang Family’s Meteor Sword. It cut iron like clay. It was a first-class peerless sword. Its sharpness was only lower than that of the Seventy-Two Divine Weapons.

“Fang family…” Yuan Shang rolled his eyes and thought for a long time before spitting out a number: “Fifty thousand!”

“Fifty thousand?”

Lu Qian raised his eyebrows, slammed his hand on the table, and pushed it in front of Yuan Shang .

Then, he took his hand back and asked coldly: “So, how much more can be added to this?”

On the table, a square purple jade pendant caught Yuan Shang’s eyes under the dim candlelight.

In an instant, Yuan Shang’s expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly, his pupils suddenly shrank into a vertical line, and he said in shock: “The seventeenth prince’s diner jade sign?”

There will be an update later.
