Spring in the East Palace

Dong Jin paused and thought seriously for a moment before answering Shen Muyin.

"For example, let you feed wolves, snakes and vultures, or lock you up in the back mountain, listening to the howling of wolves every day. You never know which desperate little snake might run out and land at the end of your bed. Or maybe you'll be tied up and beaten?" Dong Jin said a few words casually.

Shen Muyin: "..."

Dong Jin might as well not say anything.

Shen Muyin didn't say anything, and Dong Jin carefully treated the wound on Shen Muyin's back.

"Miss Shen, there will definitely be no scars on your back. His Highness's Snow Jade Cream is invincible in the world." Dong Jin looked proud.

Shen Muyin was listening, and all he was thinking about was how he would face Dong Gong later.

But at this moment, a terrible scream suddenly came from the originally quiet lobby, followed by a pungent smell of blood.

This man killed someone!

Shen Muyin looked up at Dong Jin, who seemed to be used to it: "We can't keep any of these people outside tonight."

"Your Highness, are you coming down the mountain this time to kill someone?" Shen Muyin asked in a low voice, suppressing his heartbeat.

"Clean up the house." Dong Jin was still smiling, and just applied the medicine to Shen Muyin, "Do you want to see it?"

What are you looking at? Killing people?

Before Shen Muyin could react, Dong Jin had already taken Shen Muyin to the window.

Shen Muyin then realized that they were now on the second floor, and through the window sill, they could just see the scene below.

The voice of the Eastern Palace came clearly: "The Minister of Personnel embezzled and accepted bribes of tens of thousands of taels of gold, secretly intercepted the offerings from the Snow Region, shielded criminals, and openly clamored in the court to thoroughly investigate this matter of integrity?"

Qin Chuyan looked at the Minister of Personnel who was kneeling and trembling not far away, and in front of him was a corpse.

Blood was all over the ground, a head fell to the side, and the smell of blood was overwhelming.

This scene invisibly shocked the people at the scene, and everyone was trembling with fear.

Shen Muyin was wondering, what crime did this man die of just now?

"That person is from the Ministry of Justice. Corruption and bribery are minor matters. He is colluding with foreign invaders and committing treason." Dong Jin suddenly began to explain, as if he knew what Shen Muyin was thinking now.

Shen Muyin: "..."

So, everyone in the East Palace can read minds?

"Your Highness, if you come down the mountain, it means the evidence is solid and no one died in vain here." Dong Jin spoke for Qin Chuyan, "They all deserved to die."

Before Shen Muyin could respond, he saw the Minister of Personnel trying to argue: "Your Highness, I was wronged. I did not -"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Nanhuai suddenly threw a stack of evidence in front of the Minister of Personnel. This time, his face turned pale.

"Why don't you explain to me?" Qin Chuyan sneered, cruelly and ruthlessly, "Kill him."

"Your Highness, please spare my life, spare..." The Minister of Personnel had only said half of his words when his head fell to the ground.

The surroundings were completely silent, and the smell of blood became even more pungent.

The people around were trembling in fear, and those who knew they were guilty had already kowtowed and confessed their guilt.

Qin Chuyan watched, his patience growing weaker and weaker: "Too noisy. It's giving me a headache."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Nanhuai had already read out the charges one by one in a concise manner, and the guards beside him beheaded the man without saying a word.

The people kneeling in the room disappeared one by one, and Shen Muyin watched with an expressionless face.

These people deserved it and there is no need to forgive them.

But why is Wang Chaosheng still safe and sound? Shen Muyin clenched his fist slightly, his eyes fell on Wang Chaosheng.

The person sitting in the main seat seemed to have sensed something. He raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Shen Muyin with a smile.

The look this person gave him seemed frivolous and casual, but also calm.

But soon, Qin Chuyan withdrew his gaze. The people in front of him had been dealt with almost completely, and the originally bustling Lixianglou was now completely quiet.

"Master Wang." Qin Chuyan then called Wang Desheng's name.

Wang Desheng looked up at Qin Chuyan tremblingly: "I...I am here..."

Wang Desheng was already sweating profusely. Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground in front of him, it was impossible for him not to be terrified.

"Do you want me to read out the evidence against you?" Qin Chuyan said slowly.

"Your Highness, I am... I am innocent." Wang Chaosheng's voice was stammering.

Shen Muyin watched quietly.

Wang Chaosheng is an extremely smart man. He does things without leaving any trace. Even when he was torturing himself in the Heavenly Prison, he was able to do it without anyone knowing.

Shen Muyin naturally knew that Wang Chaosheng's association with these people was not clean.

But Qin Chuyan kept him until the end, probably because he did not have enough evidence in his hand, otherwise, given this man's temper, he would have ended it long ago.

"Miss Shen." Dong Jin suddenly came up and called with a smile.

Shen Muyin was startled by Dong Jin, but remained calm on the surface: "What's wrong?"

"Do you know why His Highness kept Wang Chaosheng until last?" Dong Jin seemed to have understood Shen Muyin's thoughts and took the initiative to speak.

Shen Muyin was really frozen for a moment, but still shook his head subconsciously, then looked at Dong Jin.

Dong Jin blinked: "Your Highness has evidence of Wang Chaosheng's crimes, enough to make Wang Chaosheng lose his head."

This is similar to what Shen Muyin guessed.

"But Wang Chaosheng just flirted with you, so Your Highness will definitely make him die miserably." Dong Jin spoke every word clearly, "It won't be as simple as just losing his head."

"What will happen then?" Shen Muyin asked silently.

I am not concerned about how Wang Chaosheng will die, but about how I will die tonight.

"It depends on your highness's mood." Dong Jin said vaguely.

This was equivalent to saying nothing. In the end, Shen Muyin did not ask any more questions, and his eyes were still fixed on the situation in the lobby.

Qin Chuyan raised his eyelids and suddenly smiled: "Innocent? In the 7th year of Anding, you took in several officials from the previous dynasty in your mansion. In the 8th year of Anding, you tried to sow discord between the East Palace and the Palace of the Western King. In the 9th year of Anding, you used your status as the Minister of Personnel to let go of several important criminals in the court, but used the excuse that they died of dysentery. In the 10th year of Anding, not only did you enrich yourself, you also tried to control the land transportation of Yan State. In the 11th year of Anding, there were tens of thousands of taels of gold in your mansion for no reason..."

When Qin Chuyan said this, it seemed like he was talking about something insignificant.

Wang Chaosheng, who was kneeling among a group of corpses, was already terrified.

He probably never expected that his every move was actually under Qin Chuyan's eyes.

He thought he had done it perfectly.

"What's the matter, Lord Wang, do you have anything to defend yourself? I'm listening." Qin Chuyan had already stood up and was looking down at Wang Chaosheng.

Wang Chaosheng's face was pale and his whole body was trembling. He just looked at Qin Chuyan.

Qin Chuyan lowered his head and stepped on Wang Chaosheng with his black brocade boots embroidered with golden dragons: "So, tell me, who is behind you?"
