The head flew to the ground and rolled around. Xie Xuan had an expressionless face. He put away the knife and stood back beside Su Fengyi.

Xie Xuan acted too quickly. It was not until the man's head rolled on the ground several times that Zhu Qianhu and others finally reacted with horror on their faces:

The eldest princess actually dared to kill people from the East Factory!

Nearly a thousand Dongchang guards were present at the scene. They watched as Eunuch Gao's headless body fell to the ground with blood spurting everywhere, but they remained silent and no one dared to say a word.

There were even those who were close to the boundary who silently retreated three steps, fearing that Captain Xie's eyesight was not good and they would be implicated and lose their lives.

Xie Xuan acted decisively, and Su Fengyi was very satisfied.

If Eunuch Gao slapped her in the face on the spot and let people know that what she said was useless, then the situation today would be out of control.

Only by killing the chicken to scare the monkey can you establish your authority.

What she wants is for everyone to know that the eldest princess dares to intervene in matters that no one else in the world dares to intervene in!

The princess dares to kill the person that no one dares to kill!

What domineering, what overbearing, it sounds like she is just a willful little girl at most, too weak, not enough, far from enough.

It is better to be tyrannical and murderous, which is more in line with her wishes.

Only if she has a strong enough reputation can she secure a seat at the table of power.

Only in this way can she avoid being treated like a little girl and being coaxed away by others and allowed to play.

So that she won't be looked down upon, as it is today, when even a low-ranking eunuch dares to show off his power in front of her door.

Moreover, the death of Eunuch Gao was not unjust. Even if she didn't kill him today, she would find a chance to kill him another day.

In the book, the emperor and the eldest princess fled to the south, and the prince protagonist led an army to the south. Seeing that his old master was in trouble, Eunuch Gao got in touch with the protagonist and became his undercover agent.

In the end, the male protagonist besieged the temporary capital in the south. It was Eunuch Gao who opened the city gate and cooperated with the male protagonist from both inside and outside.

This kind of scourge must be cut off before it grows up, otherwise it will be wasted until the New Year.

The eldest princess turned hostile without delay, and Eunuch Gao was beheaded in an instant. The East Depot servants who were called in were suddenly at a loss and all looked at the leader, Captain Zhu.

Su Fengyi also looked over and said with a smile:

"Captain Zhu doesn't want to live anymore. Come forward and I will grant your wish."

Xie Xuan drew his sword again. If Captain Zhu dared to step forward, he would not care about their friendship as colleagues and would make him bleed to death on the spot.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Captain Zhu knelt down to Su Fengyi without saying a word or thinking twice.

Captain Zhu is a man of iron will. He knows how to adapt to changing circumstances, understands people's opinions, is flexible and has no desire to die.

Not only that, Zhu Qianhu also knelt and cried, howled, tears streaming down his face, his voice and tears:

"I beg Your Highness to show mercy and give me a chance to live. If I go back like this, I will not be able to complete my mission and I will not be able to survive!"

Then he looked at Xie Xuan and said:

"Thank you, Master Xie. I beg you to save me for the sake of our past friendship."

If it weren't for the order not to cross the line, Captain Zhu would have wanted to go over and kneel down and cry, hugging Xie Xuan's thighs.

This move of hugging legs, kneeling and crying, singing, reciting, and acting out martial arts is a skill that everyone under the Nine Thousand Year Old Man can master.

Captain Zhu could do it so smoothly today because he studied hard and practiced diligently.

The man named Jiu Qian Sui was born in a poor family. After he turned his life around, he loved to see the nobles who were once high and mighty kneel down before him, sing "Conquer" and kowtow to him to acknowledge them as their fathers.

The ugly fawning looks and pleading tears of the nobles, the more humble they are, the more the Nine Thousand Year Old Man loves them.

Captain Zhu begged on his knees, and Xie Xuan couldn't bear to watch it. He even felt a little sad, as if the rabbit had died and the fox had grieved for the loss of the rabbit.

When he was serving in the Jinyiwei, he also worked with Captain Zhu.

The Jinyiwei of that time were the emperor's close ministers. They carried out the emperor's orders and acted on his behalf. How majestic they were.

When the previous emperor died, the young emperor ascended the throne. The current emperor was close to the eunuchs. The East Factory became increasingly powerful, while the Jinyiwei became increasingly weak.

Back then, Captain Zhu was a tough guy with fine clothes, a strong horse and a proud character. But now, times have changed. He joined the East Factory and became a dog of the factory owner, and has become like this.

Captain Zhu knelt so quickly and acted so sensibly that Su Fengyi breathed a sigh of relief.

The main culprit has been punished, but the accomplices are still unpunished. There are so many people, how can we kill them all?

She just wanted to establish her authority and gain a reputation as someone who is not easy to mess with. She doesn't like killing people, but the fewer people she kills, the better.

After all, logically speaking, it is a fact that she kidnapped a prisoner, and Captain Zhu brought several times more people than their own. If a real fight breaks out, the Princess's Mansion will have little chance of winning.

Now that Captain Zhu has surrendered and wielded the big stick, Su Fengyi is ready to give him some sweets to prevent him from going to extremes and causing trouble.

Besides, Captain Zhu, like most of the people who were subordinate to the Ninth Thousand Year Old Man, was just a fence-sitter and was not a concern.

The characteristic of a fence-sitter is that they have no principles. They will help whoever wins and kick whoever loses.

There are many fence-sitters, and they are powerful and can be killed endlessly, so there is no need to kill them all. You can just use them to your advantage.

Su Fengyi gave Xie Xuan a look, and Xie Xuan immediately put away his knife and stepped forward to help the trembling Zhu Qianhu up.

Su Fengyi said gently:

"What Captain Zhu said is not about survival or not. In my opinion, the great achievement of promotion and wealth is right in front of you. It depends on whether Captain Zhu can grasp it."

After hearing this, Captain Zhu silently put down the hand that was originally holding the knife.

Although he cried miserably and knelt decisively, he actually made two preparations.

If kneeling and crying doesn't work, and the eldest princess really wants to kill him and won't let him live, he can't just sit there and wait to die. He can only fight her to the death.

Fortunately, according to what the eldest princess said, there is something to discuss.

Captain Zhu bowed his head, smiled, and agreed:

"Yes, yes, I am blind and dumb as a pig. I am really ignorant. I beg Your Highness to give me some advice."

Not bad, not bad, quite good.

Su Fengyi smiled:

"Under the Emperor's feet, in a clear and bright place, Eunuch Gao actually committed a crime in the street and tried to assassinate me. Captain Zhu, what do you think, should this man be killed?"

Who assassinated whom?

Captain Zhu suspected that he had heard wrongly and did not know how to answer for a moment. He was thinking:

"The Princess has already killed someone, and she still asks me whether I should kill him or not. Do I dare to say no?

Besides, whether Eunuch Gao should be killed is not for a small person like me to judge. It depends on what the Nine Thousand Year Old Prince thinks and what the Emperor thinks.

The eldest princess is so talkative and makes lies, but it depends on whether the emperor can believe her.

I will go along with her for now and see if she has the ability to put the blame on Eunuch Gao first."

Therefore, Captain Zhu still smiled like a blooming flower, and said perfunctorily:

"Your Highness must have your reasons for killing him. If he shouldn't be killed, why would Your Highness kill him?"

Captain Zhu was right. Su Fengyi was using one of the workers' special skills: passing the buck.

As the saying goes, if you don't want to take the blame, you have to know how to pass it on. If you pass it on well, you are sure to get a promotion and a raise in salary.

Passing the buck is an art. If not used properly it can easily turn into a public quarrel, but if used well it can create a harmonious atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the event. The key lies in who to pass the buck to.

The dead cannot speak, so they are the best people to pass the blame.
