The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 18 Part 2

Although Shen Nian had taken the blame onto himself that day, so long as Guan Han's death remained unsolved, one part of the public would believe he died because of the Emperor; another part, swayed by Shen Nian's words, would think Guan Han cared nothing for the frontier soldiers and was merely a despicable man who ran his mouth for the sake of a good reputation; and still another part would see Shen Nian as nothing but a petty villain who climbed over the dead to advance himself.

Shen Nian felt a stir in his heart. From what he had observed over these past days, Qi Junmu was not a man particularly concerned with his reputation—this move was likely more for his sake.

Lao Wang's plot was right next to the road. Fang Zichen reined in his horse and leaned down slightly: "Old man—"

Zhao Ger kicked him lightly.

Fang Zichen cleared his throat: "Uncle," he said, pointing toward the village ahead, "is this Ronghe Village?"

Lao Wang's legs were trembling so hard they seemed to blur, and his voice stuttered: "Y-yes, it is."

Chapter 18

Shen Nian had a belly full of questions he wanted to ask, but when he saw the look on Qi Junmu's face, he suddenly didn't want to ask anything at all.

He understood perfectly well—the Emperor was doing this solely to pile hatred onto him, while keeping his own hands completely clean of the matter. In the end, the Emperor would be blameless, and he would be the one everyone thought deserved to be struck by lightning.

With things having turned out this way, the only person he could rely on was the Emperor, and the only person he could be loyal to was the Emperor.

Of the hundred thousand taels in banknotes, only one thousand were for Fang Zichen personally. The rest was allocated as Hezhou's government funds.

Zhao Ger's heart sank too. Before this, not only had Fang Zichen been overjoyed, but Zhao Ger himself had been thrilled. Now it felt like a cooked duck had flown right out of their hands—it was impossible not to feel disappointed.

But they couldn't keep the money.

No matter how much Fang Zichen loved money, he couldn't take this silver, and Zhao Ger certainly wouldn't either.

"Was it ineffective?" Qi Junmu asked in reply.

Lin Xiao naturally could not lie through his teeth—how could it have been ineffective? The effect was quite clear. Qi Junyou, no matter how uncomfortable he felt and how much he didn't want to go to Qingzhou, did not dare utter a single word of protest and still had to follow the Emperor's will.

But this was not the conduct of a gentleman. Lin Xiao was simply worried that if word spread, it would harm the Emperor's reputation. Moreover, governing such a vast realm—if the Emperor used such tactics for everything, that would surely invite criticism.

A number of common folk had followed them all the way, watching Fang Zichen's entourage enter the courtyard house before finally murmuring among themselves.

"So this really is the new prefect sent from above."

Someone gave a heavy sigh. "Now our Hezhou is truly doomed."

The others nearby said nothing.

Fang Zichen's procession was far too grand—several carts full of goods, so long that when they passed through the streets, the front could not be seen from the back.

Chapter 17

Before sending Qi Junyou out of the palace, the Emperor summoned Yang Jinglei and Qi Junzhuo. 

To Yang Jinglei, the Emperor's instruction was to follow Prince Jin's (Qi Junzhuo) orders and guard Prince Ping's safety with utmost care.

To Qi Junzhuo, the Emperor's admonition was that since they were heading to Qingzhou, a place unfamiliar to them, he was granting him an imperial sword—should anyone with ill intentions do something that harms others and themselves, Qi Junzhuo had the right to execute them on the spot.
