Even Meng Jiuxiao himself was a little too afraid to believe all this.
“Your Majesty, you …… are you telling the truth?”
Meng Jiuxiao asked with eyes full of light.
The Marquis of Zhen Nan smiled faintly, “That is certainly true, you have merit, naturally you should be rewarded!”
Hearing these words, Meng Jiuxiao’s entire body was instantly surprised.
“Many thanks to Your Majesty, many thanks to ……”
Meng Jiuxiao was so excited that he kowtowed his head repeatedly.
However, before Meng Jiuxiao could be completely happy, he only heard the Marquis of Zhen Nan speak again.
“Don’t be in a hurry to thank me first. I have already given you the credit for your work, now it is time to count your faults.”
The Marquis of Zhen Nan said with a smile on his face and a flat voice.
“What? Pass?”
Meng Jiuxiao’s heart suddenly had a not-so-good premonition.
The Marquis of Zhen Nan nodded and said, “That’s right, you want to lend my hand to kill someone for you, this is the crime of deceiving the king, how do you think I should settle this score with you?”
Hearing these words, Meng Jiuxiao’s heart sank to the bottom as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
He had thought that the other party would not bother with him anymore, but now it seemed that he had thought that the other party was too simple.
Meng Jiuxiao knew very well that if he was convicted of deceiving the emperor, there would be no way out for him!
So, Meng Jiuxiao didn’t hesitate any longer and hurriedly kowtowed to the Marquis of Zhen Nan incessantly.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!”
Meng Jiu Xiao’s forehead kept hitting the ground, his entire forehead was broken and blood was continuously flowing out, but he still didn’t dare to stop in the slightest.
“Your Majesty, spare my life, I know I’m wrong! Your Majesty spare my life!”
Meng Jiu Xiao desperately begged for mercy.
The Marquis of Zhen Nan looked at Meng Jiu Xiao in front of him, his face still wore an almost kind smile.
“Don’t worry, I have always been a man who rewards and punishes clearly, although you have deceived the emperor, you have merited merit, and I will not take your life.”
The Marquis of Zhen Nan said with a smile on his face.
Only when Meng Jiuxiao heard these words did he finally breathe a long sigh of relief.
However, before Meng Jiuxiao could fully relax, he heard the Marquis of Zhen Nan continue, “Meng Jiuxiao, a fifth-ranked household member, has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and should have been executed. However, I have spared your life because of your meritorious report. You are hereby stripped of your position as the fifth-ranking Thousandth Household, have your family raided, and be sent to the Heavenly Prison, where you will never be allowed to leave!”
“What?!”
Hearing the sentence from the Marquis of Zhen Nan, Meng Jiu Xiao’s entire body instantly fell into an ice cave and completely collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, even if Meng Jiuxiao was stupid, he had understood everything.
It turned out that the Marquis of Zhen Nan had never intended to let himself end up well from the very beginning!
What bullsh*t reward, what f*cking fifth-ranked thousand households! It was all a lie!
He hadn’t even seen the shadow of a Thousand Household, and he’d just skinned me.
Not only that, but they even want to raid my f*cking house?
I don’t even have a place to stay in the Great Qian Dynasty, so how can I have a home?
To put it bluntly, after going around in such a big circle, isn’t it just to seize the remaining wealth of their Hidden Sect!
First, he would give himself the title of a fifth-ranked thousandth household and turn himself into a member of the Great Qian, and then he would be censored for the crime of deceiving the emperor, so that even if he took away all his wealth, it would be a matter of course!
How ruthless!
This is really f*cking ruthless!
At this moment, Meng Jiuxiao finally realised just how malicious and clever this Marquis of Zhen Nan was!
Without any effort, he had pocketed all the wealth of his own hidden clan, a trick that had been played to perfection!
At this time, the ministers in the court naturally understood everything.
The corners of the mouths of Shen Gonghuan and Geng Tiangang also showed a teasing smile.
This was the right thing to do, how could such a lowly person from the secular world be worthy of standing in the same court as them?
“Your Majesty is wise!”
Shen Gonghuan and the others all shouted, clearly agreeing with the Marquis of Zhen Nan’s decision.
It was a complete sight of a tacit agreement between the ruler and his subjects.
When Meng Jiuxiao saw this scene in front of him, he was so angry that he was practically spitting blood.
At this moment, his intestines were practically turning blue with regret.
He regretted how he could be so stupid as to trust a treacherous person like the Marquis of Zhen Nan who had betrayed his master by betraying his trust and righteousness to rise to power!
How could such a person possibly give himself any advantage!
It was a pity that it was useless to regret even more now.
Without waiting for Meng Jiuxiao to say anything more, Shen Gonghuan was already waving a big hand to the guards at the side.
“Alright, take this guilty minister down first, don’t delay His Majesty’s court affairs!”
“As you command!”
The two guards said, and then set up Meng Jiuxiao, and directly dragged him out towards the outside.
“Your Majesty, you can’t do this to me, Your Majesty! Your Majesty ……”
Meng Jiuxiao shouted out with resentment in his heart.
Unfortunately, before he could shout any more, one of the guards raised his hand and unceremoniously knocked him out.
I’m afraid Meng Jiuxiao had never dreamed that he, as the head of the Hidden Sect, would end up in such a miserable state!
It was conceivable that with the explanation from the Marquis of Zhen Nan, the remaining wealth of the Hidden Sect would not be preserved in any way, and the jailers in the Great Qian Heavenly Prison would try to pry Meng Jiu Xiao’s mouth open.
The Hidden Sect, which has existed for thousands of years, has come to an end.
As for Meng Jiu Xiao, although the Marquis of Zhen Nan said that he would lock him up in the Heavenly Prison forever, there is one thing Meng Jiu Xiao does not know, and that is, no one who has entered the Heavenly Prison has been able to live forever ……
In fact, a leek like Meng Jiuxiao is just a small episode for the whole court.
When Meng Jiuxiao was taken away, the people in the courtroom had long since left what had just happened behind and instead continued to discuss the matter of the personal expedition.
“Your Majesty, if you can go on a personal expedition, you will certainly win this time, but you are the body of all saints and must not be neglected. In order to ensure that your body is intact, I feel that it would be better to ask a high ranking person to sit in the town!”
Shen Gonghuan said with an arching hand.
“That’s right, I also feel that there is indeed a need for this!”
Geng Tiangang, who was at the side, also echoed the words.
In fact, the reason why they had made such a suggestion was that both Shen Gonghuan and Geng Tiangang knew very well that what they were dealing with today was a truly top-notch powerhouse!
They knew that even Gongsun Huarong, who was the hand of their Four Vajra, and Gu Xinlong had already died at the hands of that person, so the two of them naturally had no confidence in their hearts now.
If anything were to happen, they would not be able to afford it!
The ministers in the court are basically following the lead of Shen Gonghuan and Geng Tiangang, because they all know very well that Shen Gonghuan and Geng Tiangang are the real beloved of the Marquis of Zhen Nan, and naturally they understand the Marquis of Zhen Nan’s mind best.
Therefore, after Shen Gonghuan and Geng Tiangang proposed this idea, they were immediately approved by the other ministers.
The Marquis of Zhen Nan did not object to such a proposal either.
He nodded his head and asked, “Then, according to you, your dear ministers, who will be able to take on this important task?”
It seemed that Shen Gonghuan and the others had already thought of this, so they said, “Your Majesty, the head of the Hall of Feathering, Shang Feilong, can take on this important task!”
“Hall of Feathered Harmony?!”
Hearing this name, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of the surrounding courtiers.
This was because they were all very familiar with the name Feathered Hall and were all very clear about what this name represented.
At this moment, a minister stood out and said, “What Grand Commander Shen said is very true. That Shang Feilong, who is said to have entered the Golden Immortal realm ten years ago, is a true top-level powerhouse. Only ……”
The minister paused before continuing, “However, this Hall of Feathered Harmony is now a super sect ranked in the top seven of the True Martial World, and is said to be just one step away from entering the ranks of the Little Three Greatest. As the head of the Hall of Feathered Harmony, Shang Fei Long is even ranked among the top ten in True Martial Arts. I am afraid that …… it will be difficult to invite such a top powerhouse. ……”
This minister’s face carried a hint of worry.
And in fact, this minister’s words were already considered very polite.
If it was said unkindly, it would be that although the Great Qian Dynasty was one of the four empires, but, such as these ordinary dynastic empires, they were really nothing in front of those super sects.
The patriarchs of those super sects wouldn’t even put the emperor of one of your dynasties in their eyes.
And now, you are even asking the Hall Master of the Feathered Hall to act as a bodyguard for the Emperor of a mere Great Qian Dynasty to protect him, this is taking yourself too seriously!
In fact, this minister was not the only one who thought so, even the other courtiers were also thinking the same thing at this moment.
Shen Gonghuan naturally heard the meaning of the other party’s words, but he smiled and said, “I don’t think you should bother with this, because you may not know that the Hall of Feathered Harmony has long since entered into an alliance with His Majesty, and we share honour and disgrace together. I believe that for this small matter, Hall Master Shang is still willing to serve!”
“What ……”
Hearing Shen Gonghuan’s words, the crowd was astonished.
And looking at the appearance of the Marquis of Zhen Nan, it was obvious that he had already known everything.
It was at this moment that the crowd finally understood that they were only afraid that this Marquis of Zhen Nan had already made an alliance with that Hall of Feathering long before he had launched the mutiny.
If he had been unable to continue his rebellion, then the Hall of Feathered Harmony would have taken action!
Thinking of this, the crowd was once again deeply impressed by this Marquis of Zhen Nan’s tactics.
It seemed that this Marquis of Zhen Nan had never fought an unprepared battle!
The Marquis of Zhen Nan’s face was also wearing a smirk at this moment.
“In that case, then let Hall Master Shang work hard!”
The Marquis of Zhen Nan said indifferently.
