The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 162

[Chapter 162 Assassination of Her Royal Highness the Princess]

“I ask again, who sent you here?”

Fang Xiu looked at the scarred face, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked coldly.

“Ah——!”

A shrill scream suddenly came from the next door room.

Scarface shuddered subconsciously and said in a trembling voice: “Yes, it’s Young Master Yang

.

“

I’ll take you to the outskirts, there will be someone.”

He paused, looked at Fang Xiu carefully, and said, “Someone will deal with you.”

Fang Xiu cut off Yang Ming’s arm. He spent money to hire someone to take revenge. Common sense.

I just don’t know what kind of disposal this is.

Fang Xiu looked at Scarface, as if he was deep in thought.

Scarface lowered his head and stood in front of him respectfully, not daring to make the slightest sound.

After a moment, Fang Xiu suddenly asked: “Why did Yang Ming assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess?”

“Assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess!?”

The scarred face was slightly startled, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and glanced at Zhao Yi in disbelief.

Then, he knelt down on the ground with a bang and wailed: “Young master, I know clearly that I have never thought of assassinating Her Highness the Princess. I don’t even know.”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu.

“When did I say you were going to assassinate Her Highness the Princess?”

“But”

Scarface was stunned when he heard this and wanted to say something, but Fang Xiu had a bad look on his face and opened his mouth, but still didn’t dare to speak.

After a moment, he seemed to have figured everything out and said: “I don’t know why Yang Ming wanted to assassinate Her Royal Highness, but I definitely have no such intention and no courage.

No matter how crazy I am, I will never assassinate her.” Your Majesty’s thoughts!

I just want to make some money to support my family. I

beg you, for the sake of my parents and my children, to spare my life. “

After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.

Fang Xiu looked at him and asked: “If the person being dealt with right now…is me, will you let me go?” When

Scarface heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu smiled and said: “In that case, why should I let you go, just because you are older and younger?

How many prisoners in the Kyoto Prefecture are not older and younger ?”

Xiao?

Do you know what the crime is for assassinating an official of the imperial court?”

Scarface looked at Fang Xiu and said in a trembling voice, “I have never thought about assassinating you, let alone the princess!”

Fang Xiu shook his head! , said: “There are both human and physical evidence. Do you think that the governor of Kyoto will believe your story?

Even if he believes it, Yang Ming will guarantee you and get you out of the governor of Kyoto.

Do you think that I Will he let you go?”

When Scarface heard this, a look of despair appeared on his face and he stopped talking.

After a moment, he raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, and said in a trembling voice: “Please show me a clear path, young master. I am willing to do my best.”

Fang Xiu shook his head again and said, “Assassinating an official of the imperial court. It’s a capital crime.

The assassination of Her Royal Highness is a serious crime that affects the nine clans. I can’t help you, only you can help yourself.”

Scarface knelt on the ground and became silent.

Time passed by minute by second, and after an unknown amount of time, Scarface suddenly raised his head.

He seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, looked at Fang Xiu, and said, “The younger one has a sixty-year-old mother who is frail and sick and lives in Chengnan North Street.

There is also an eleven-year-old son who is still studying in school .

I beg you to let them go.”

Fang Xiu nodded and said, “If everything goes well, your mother will die in Fang Mansion and have a place to live in the suburbs.

Your son will settle down in Yuezhou. If you have enough money to study hard, you can live a stable life even if you don’t get the honors.”

When Scarface heard this, he showed gratitude on his face and kowtowed to Fang Xiu several times.

Then, he looked at him with a firm face and said in a very confident tone: “At noon today, Mr. Yang Ming sent someone to deliver a letter to me, telling me that a man and a woman will enter Chunfeng Tower.

By then , I just need to lead people into Chunfeng Tower, kill the man and woman, and I will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and then I can fly away and live a rich life.”

Fang Xiu looked at the scarred face and asked lightly: ” Where is the letter, and where is the money?”

Scarface replied: “The money will come after the matter is completed.”

At this point, he paused.

Fang Xiu asked: “Xin, is it at your home?”

Dao Scar’s face showed a look of surprise and said: “It is at Xiao’s home.”

Fang Xiu nodded and said, “Remember what you said today. No matter who asks, you must answer truthfully. There must be no deception!”

“Yes, I understand!”

Scarface looked as if he was ready to die. Appearance, responded.

On the side, Zhao Yan looked at this scene, curled her lips in disdain, tilted her head, but said nothing.

“Okay, let’s go down. When the arrester from Kyoto Prefecture arrives, I hope you can remember what you said.”

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said.

“Yes”

Scarface stood up from the ground tremblingly and walked out of the private room step by step.

Zhao Yan turned her head, looked at Fang Xiu, and said only two words: “Scum!”

Fang Xiu looked unconcerned and said, “Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment.”

“Bah!”

Zhao Yan spat. , said: “Shameless!”

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan with a heartbroken expression on his face, covered his chest and said: “I risked my life to protect the safety of the princess, but I didn’t expect that your highness would treat me like this. My heart hurts so much!”

Zhao Yan rolled her eyes at Fang Xiu, didn’t bother to pay attention to him, took a sip of tea, and asked, “Does Yang Ming have a grudge against you?”

“It’s not a big hatred.”

Fang Xiu put down the hand covering his chest. , shook his head and said: “I just chopped off one of your emperor brother’s arms at his banquet.”

“”

Zhao Yan was speechless.

Cutting off someone’s arm is not called a deep hatred?

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan and explained: “He wanted to chop me at that time, but he didn’t hold the knife. I snatched it away and accidentally chopped off his arm.”

Zhao Yan said curiously: “If not If he fails, will you let him go?”

Although she doesn’t know much about the affairs of the court, she also knows that the Minister of Rites is the nominal head of the civil service besides the cabinet minister, and his status is extraordinary.

His son, even if he has no fame, is not something ordinary people can offend.

Fang Xiu is not an ordinary person, he is the scum of the world, but facing the behemoth of the Ministry of Rites, he should always be a little wary.

“What if he didn’t miss it?”

Fang Xiu thought for a while and replied seriously: “Maybe his head is gone. ”
