Chapter 378: Isn’t It Exciting?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although they did not know what happened at the border to make the Crown Prmce change his mind, how could they fail if their family worked together? Prime Minister Yan thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with marrying Xiao Ning, but…
“Will Xiao Ran agree?” Her relationship with the Yan Family was not good. The Empress tidied her phoenix crown. “That’s not up to her.”
Look, there it was again. Just as he felt that his daughter was starting to think with his head, she started to put on airs again. “Xiao Ran is different from the palace maids and concubines you dealt with. It’s useless to threaten or bribe her.”
The Empress glared at her father unhappily. “Father, do you think I’m stupid? Of course I know that Xiao Ran doesn’t know what’s good for her.”
Prime Minister Yan asked, “What are you going to do?”
The Empress said proudly, “Father, do you know what’s most important to a woman?”
Without needing her Father to speak, the Empress answered her own question “It’s her reputation.”
“If a woman’s reputation is damaged, she has to marry even if she doesn’t want to…”
After Prime Minister Yan left, the nanny reminded the Empress, “Should we tell the Prime Minister about the Lei Family’s uncle and nephew?”
The Empress said disdainfully, “He’s just a dog reared by our Yan Family. What’s there to say?”
The nanny said, “But the ones interrogating them are the remnants of the Han Family after all. It’s hard to guarantee that they won’t find out something they shouldn’t.” y
The Empress frowned. “In that case, make them shut up.” she said coldly “Forever.” J ’
It was just dogs. Their Yan Family had many of them.
The land in the far suburbs of Xijiang County was lush at this moment. County Magistrate Shen was very satisfied with the results of this labor. He was about to compose a poem when he heard his subordinate report, “Official, someone is assassinating the prisoners in the prison.”
County Magistrate Shen suppressed his interest in poetry and said excitedly to his subordinate as they walked, “Let’s go, call Han Qing and pull in the net!” “Official Han is already here.”
He’s a young man after all. He was very agile, unlike his messenger. Tsk, he could not even catch up to the first one.
Han Qing was pouring himself tea with his legs crossed. He was so excited that he didn’t even notice the tea spill.
He kicked the dead body in front of him and asked Lei Shaoming, “Was it exciting?”
If it weren’t for me, the two of you would have been beheaded.”
He even kicked the head of one of the corpses in front of the two of them at a perfect angle so that it could face them.
Seeing this, County Magistrate Shen took a step back and gave the messenger a look of approval.
Forget it. He was old, so it was better not to watch some of the fun. It was disgusting to watch this when he had just eaten.
The two people from the Lei Family did not have much courage left when they were assassinated. It was not that they had never killed anyone before, but they had never thought that such a fate would fall on them one day.
They were so scared that they peed their pants before Han Qing threatened him.
“Now, I will give you two choices—”
“First, I’ll announce that the two of you are not dead. The assassin killed the wrong people today. They’ll ‘play’ with you again next time.”
“Second, tell me honestly what the Yan Family has asked you to do all these years. For example, how to destroy my Han Family. This way, I’ll hide the news that you’re still alive and send people to protect you so that you can stay alive.” Shopkeeper Lei felt that something was wrong. “You don’t plan to let us go?” Han Qing clicked her tongue. “Even if I dare to let you go, do you dare to leave? Do you believe that the two of you will be cut into pieces by the people sent by the Yan Family the moment you walk out of the prison?”
What he said made f*cking sense!
Shopkeeper Lei and Lei Shaoming did not struggle for long. “Let’s choose the second option.”
The more evil they were, the more afraid of death they were. They had yet to enjoy the riches of the world. They did not want to die.
Han Qmg immediately got someone to bring a pen and paper, as if by magic “Then write it.”
Shopkeeper Lei was surprised. “Now?”
Han Qing was even more puzzled than him. “Otherwise, would we have to find the Imperial Astronomer to pick a date?”
“If you want me to save you, you have to let me see your value first, right? What if I spend all my effort to save your lives, but the two of you don’t know anything at the critical moment? Wouldn’t I have worked for nothing?” He was still quite f*cking cautious. Shopkeeper Lei still had his rationality. “Then how do I know if you’ll kill me after that?”
Han Qing’s face was cold. “Can’t you have some common sense? Don’t you know that we need witnesses to investigate a case? Oh, you don’t know. You only know how to destroy the witnesses.”
Although it was very infuriating, Shopkeeper Lei listened to his logic. Seeing that Han Qing was about to lose his patience, he hurriedly picked up his pen and started writing.
After he finished writing and pressed his fingerprint, Han Qing took the paper away. Shopkeeper Lei pulled him nervously. “Let me make it clear first. If you go back on your word, I’ll say you force us to make this confession! So, will you really protect us?”
Han Qing replied, “No, I’ll kill you immediately and hand over the evidence. I’ll say that you gave it to me before you died. Your death will confirm the authenticity of this paper.”
Shopkeeper Lei froze. “Y-you!”
Han Qing spat. “Do you see that? I can kill you at any time if I want to. You two aren’t the only witnesses. Stop playing tricks with me. Protecting you? You’ll be lucky if I can let you live. Behave yourself and you will live long. Jump around blindly, you’ll die quickly.”
He took his sleeve away and threw Shopkeeper Lei to the ground. He turned around and left. When he met County Magistrate Shen at the door, he asked “Do you still have melons?”
County Magistrate Shen was surprised that he could still eat it. He found that Han Qing’s face had turned green and white when he walked into the sunlight. After taking a few steps, he leaned against the wall and vomited. He looked like he wanted to vomit all his guts out.
County Magistrate Shen felt sorry for him. At the end of the day, he was just a kid in his early twenties. His family had undergone a huge change and he had to bear the blood feud alone. He had to suppress his hatred in front of his enemies and pretend that he didn’t care about the corpses to scare people.
How could he not be afraid?
At the thought of this, County Magistrate Shen patted his back. “Are you feeling better after vomiting? Do you want to eat hot pot at the Ning Family tonight? Tell your Uncle Ning to make some blood nourishing brain food or something to nourish you.”
Han Qing: Ugh… I was already fine! I want to vomit even more now!!! Official Shen, why do you have to mention blood tonic at this time…
In the evening, Han Qing, who had vomited until his stomach was empty, still came to the Ning Family resolutely. He stuffed the two extreme ingredients that County Magistrate Shen asked the Ning Family to prepare into his mouth and bit them into pieces. Despite the nausea in his throat, he tried his best not to vomit again.
After the meal, County Magistrate Shen handed him a handkerchief. “If your parents know in the netherworld, they will be glad that you have grown up so well.”
Han Qing pressed his eyes with a handkerchief. “Won’t they blame me for not killing my enemies immediately to avenge them?”
County Magistrate Shen said with a cup of hot tea, “No, they will think that you are brave and smart. You are indeed their child.”
Han Qing’s voice was a little muffled. “Mm, that’s good..”
