Peerless Daoist

That day, late at night.

A group of noble ministers and wealthy patriarchs from the Qi Dynasty came to the palace to accuse Prince Qi of their crimes.

"His Royal Highness, it was the old minister who didn't take care of the evil animals in his family, and actually killed the Prince Rui. This is an unforgivable crime. The old minister has already restrained that evil animal and strictly guarded it."

"His Royal Highness, our family is willing to give half of the property to compensate for the heinous crime my son committed."

These nobles, who are invincible on weekdays, are now as if a catastrophe is imminent, and they are all uneasy.

Prince Qi said impatiently, "What are you doing? I have no intention of pursuing your fault. I have already investigated the matter. It was all brought about by Zhou Teng, and has nothing to do with your children."

After speaking, Prince Qi waved his hand and said, "Gu is very busy now and has no time to deal with your affairs, so go back honestly."

Xungui can't afford to offend, and Tang people can't afford to offend even more.

In the end, it was the Zhou family who came forward and was willing to abandon Zhou Teng, the deceased son.

So everything was pushed on Zhou Teng's body. Zhou Teng's wife and children were kicked out of Zhou's house overnight, and all the family property was confiscated. I wonder if he is still alive now, and he will regret his embarrassment with Tang Ren.

"But Your Highness..."

"Okay, let's go out."

Several nobles looked at each other and hurriedly saluted, "I'll retire."

...

Inside the secret room.

Skynet spy received the information and couldn't help but be surprised: "It's really as you said, they went to the palace immediately."

Mr. Zhang smiled lightly: "No matter how bad Zhou Teng is, he still has the status of a county king. If he kills him, it is almost no different from conspiracy. No matter how noble their current status is, these people will still be in the same position. Under the rule of the Qi Dynasty, a single thought from the other party can make their family fall into a doom and gloom."

The Skynet spy looked away: "It's just that the Qi Dynasty cannot turn against them. A Zhou Teng is irrelevant. Even if he abandons it, the Zhou family will have nothing to lose."

Mr. Zhang poured a cup of tea, leisurely, as if everything was under control.

"No, I don't want to turn Qi Dynasty against them, I want to plant the seeds of unease in these people's hearts!" Mr. Zhang said lightly.

"Oh? How do you say this?" Skynet spy raised his eyebrows.

Mr. Zhang said: "There was an emperor in the Middle Ages, who was fierce and cruel, and killed without restraint. He always killed people around him if he wanted to, and he was moody."

"He cultivated to the sky, and no one could match him. In the end, he died at the hands of the eunuch beside him, and was stabbed to death by the eunuch beside him with poisonous wine and a sharp blade."

The Skynet spy said in surprise: "There is such a thing. The power of eunuchs comes from the emperor. If the emperor dies, their status will plummet."

Mr. Zhang smiled lightly: "Because those eunuchs always live in fear, no one knows whether the emperor will kill himself next. The unknown is the most terrifying, and fear will drive a person crazy."

"Look, I just want to make this fear infinitely magnified in the hearts of these people."

...

Day three.

Early in the morning, just as the sky was dawning, a sensational news spread throughout the city.

In Guozijian, Tong'er, who hanged herself, was actually the daughter of the late Weiyang guard general Yang Junce!

Yang Junce used to be the guarding general of Dayu. When King Qi rebelled, he was secretly executed by the Qi Dynasty because he refused to obey.
