The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 32 Part 2

Qi Junmu had set Qingzhou's affairs aside for the time being—he decided to wait until the captured assassin was brought back to the capital, or at least until Qi Junzhuo returned, before dealing with it further.

Meanwhile, the investigation into the spring-palace (erotic) paintings that had appeared in the rear palace had reached a conclusion, and the Empress Dowager summoned him to Renshou Palace.

When Qi Junmu arrived, the Empress Dowager's expression was grim. Wen Wan stood beside her, head bowed and eyes lowered, her demeanor mild and composed. Qi Junmu paid his respects, then asked what had happened.

Yu Daniu and Su Xiaotian had initially refused to confess to anything regarding their families or their crimes, but they were far too inexperienced to match wits with Fang Zichen.

He had plenty of ways to pry their mouths open.

No one knew exactly what they'd been through. When the third-in-command saw the two of them being brought back in, aside from their earlier injuries, there was no new marks on them—but their minds were clearly addled. They were trembling and cowering as if they'd been scared out of their wits, and there was a distinct stench of urine about them.

The secret letter was delivered to Qingzhou at top speed, and with it came news that the new emperor would change the reign title to Rengqing on the first day of the third lunar month.

Prince Ping, Qi Junyou, had been kept under watch ever since leaving the capital—stripped of even basic freedoms. When he heard the news, he gave a cold, mirthless sneer, let out a few grunts, and then shuffled back to his room—which was completely surrounded by imperial guards.

Yang Jinglei saw that Qi Junyou was behaving himself, and only then did his anxious heart settle down.

The climate in Shunan was warm. By then, the crops had been planted for about a month, and weeds had started growing in the paddies. Yu Lao'er was standing at the edge of the field, supervising. When one laborer paused to rest for a moment—and stood a bit too close for Yu Lao'er's liking—Yu Lao'er raised his stick and brought it down on him.

"Hao Laosan, you lazy bastard! Are you trying to lose today's wages?"

Hao Laosan was furious but dared not speak up. The Yu family was the richest in the village—they had plenty of land and couldn't manage it all themselves, so they often hired help.

Were these the same brutal bandits that had been terrorizing everyone?

The common people could hardly believe their eyes.

"Ah!! Brother, is that really them? Are you sure you've got the right people?"

"Can't be wrong. See that one walking behind the horse's rear, the one with the fat mouth? I remember him. He was the one who led the gang bursting out of the woods to rob me back then.

Qi Junmu chose this moment to demonstrate his utmost trust in Shen Nian. He had Ruan Jiqing present the letter and opened it right in front of Shen Nian.

As Shen Nian had suspected, the letter was indeed from Yang Jinglei, sent express from Qingzhou overnight, and it clearly detailed the assassination attempt on Qi Junzhuo.

The Emperor scanned it quickly. Upon reaching the end, his gaze lingered for a moment, then he folded the letter with a composed expression and placed it on the imperial desk.

This site was some distance from the main camp. Fang Zichen hadn't brought Guaizai along—this wasn't something a child should see. He returned to the camp with Zhang Quan and spotted Guaizai sneaking toward the "treasure vault."

Fang Zichen paused, then followed.

Guaizai took out the gold chain and rings he'd hidden earlier, held them in his palms with a reluctant look, then tossed them back into the chest.

He wasn't completely clueless about right and wrong.
