I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess

Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Chapter 121-the heaven-defying heart of life

He put down his pen.

Eunuch Zhu handed over the snow ginseng tea. He took the teacup and calmly took a sip, then handed the teacup back to him.

“Fu Xianhe should be here soon, right?” Emperor Sheng Wen said.

“He’s already out of the Imperial prison and is on his way to the Imperial Palace,” Eunuch Zhu said.

“Are the examinees still dancing?”

“Yes.” Eunuch Zhu’s head was lowered.

“Have you found the mastermind behind this?”

“We caught some in secret, but we didn’t get any useful clues. We were afraid of attracting attention, so we let them go.”

“I am very disappointed!” Emperor Sheng Wen said.

“This old servant is useless!” Eunuch Zhu and eunuch Liang quickly knelt on the ground.

Emperor Sheng Wen walked to the window and opened it completely. He looked at the night sky.

Tonight, the stars were bright, and the warm Starlight shone down, making it look very comfortable.

He shook his head.”I don’t blame you. I blame them! It wasn’t that they were troublesome, but that they were incapable. Since he had already done it, he had to do it beautifully and not give himself away. However, they had deliberately revealed a little flaw, scheming this and scheming that, afraid that others would not notice.

Now that the matter has been blown up to such a big extent, with the shadows of the aristocratic families involved, they are forcing me to be ruthless. ”

“Your Majesty, what do you mean?” Zhu Gonggong asked carefully.

“We have already given him a chance. If he can’t even settle this small predicament, how can he fight with the others? How to stand out? How could he sit in this position? How can I hand over the country to him without worry?”

His eyes glowed.

Emperor Sheng Wen’s tone became very cold.”When the time comes, I will give all the scholars in the world an explanation.”

He was raising Gu and using this opportunity, he chose a Gu King.

A young eunuch quickly walked over and whispered a few words into eunuch Zhu’s ear before quickly retreating.

“Lord Fu has arrived.”

“Let him in,” Emperor Sheng Wen said.

Outside the Xiao mansion.

An uninvited guest had arrived. He was a middle-aged man dressed like a scholar. He held a folding fan in his hand, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand waving the folding fan. He was waiting calmly.

When she heard the footsteps behind her, she turned around and looked at Xiao ran who had returned.

He smiled and introduced himself.”My surname is Xiao. I come from the same family as you. My name is ning.”

“Why are you looking for me?” Xiao ran asked.

“Aren’t you going to invite me in to talk?” Xiao ning asked.

“The residence does not welcome outsiders.” Xiao ran refused.

“Alright! It’s pretty good here, with the moonlight as my companion, the breeze as my neighbor, and most importantly, you. ” Desolate ning was not annoyed.

He stopped smiling.

She looked at Xiao ran seriously.”You should have guessed my intention.”

“What do you think?” Xiao ran retorted.

“You’re a smart person, it’s impossible that you didn’t even think of this. Otherwise, your father wouldn’t have been released from the Imperial prison after being on duty for so many years. On the other hand, you were transferred to the divine sword guard after your term was up, and from then on, you’ve made a meteoric rise in your career. ” Desolate ning said.

“I don’t like it when people investigate me.”

Xiao ning shook his head, not minding Xiao ran’s attitude. He drew a circle in front of him with the folding fan in his hand.”This matter should end here. It’s not good for anyone to continue investigating.”

Seeing his cold eyes looking at him, Xiao ning was calm and continued.

“Ten million taels of silver as hush money and one hundred foreign women. Even if you want the princess of the great Zhou Dynasty, we can think of ways to get three for you. You can name the person you like and we will help you settle it. 10,000 mu of fertile land, plus a luxurious courtyard with six entrances and six exits in the Azure Dragon market. ”

He deliberately paused for a moment.

It was time for Xiao ran to digest the information. After a while, he spoke again.

“I’ll appoint you as a golden sword guard within three days. I’ll promote you to a purple sword guard within half a year. In three years, I’ll promote you to the Vice Sword Master of the divine sword guards.”

He opened his folding fan and fanned it slightly.

“When the opportunity comes, you have to grab it. As long as you grab this opportunity, you’ll be able to rise up and stand out, and pass on the Xiao family’s legacy. After a hundred years, your Xiao family will also become a noble family and have a place in the capital. You’re a smart person, I believe you’ll make the right choice. ”

Xiao ran laughed happily. Xiao ning also laughed happily.

However, the smiles on their faces were different.

“Did he agree?” Xiao ning asked.

“I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed!”Xiao ran shook his head and said.

“You’ve given me too much, so much that I can’t refuse. To be able to get hold of the princess of the great Zhou’s imperial family, tsk tsk, their influence is quite great! In addition to ten million taels, a hundred foreign women, a mansion in the Azure Dragon market, and a promotion, the three great things of life will be complete. ”

“Why?” Desolate ning stopped smiling, his face turned cold as he stared at Shi Yan.

“To be honest, what you said is very tempting. As long as it’s a person, it’s a lie to say that they’re not tempted. However, there were some things that could be done and some that couldn’t be done. Everyone has their own persistence and beliefs in life. Once you overstep it, you’ll be dominated by desire and completely lose yourself. ” Xiao ran answered seriously.

“You know the consequences of rejection?” Desolate ning asked.

“Tell those hiding in the dark to come out! There’s no point in hiding. ” Xiao ran said.

“You actually noticed.” Desolate ning’s face was gloomy.

He clapped his hands.

Black smoke rose and rushed out from the ground. Four black figures appeared on the ground. They were dressed in black and wore evil ghost masks. Only their two eyes were exposed, and they exuded a bloodthirsty and cold aura.
