"What a load of nonsense!"
Qiu An's face was red with anger. He pointed at Lin Xiao and said furiously, "You said that I poisoned Chu Tiannan, do you have any evidence?
Do you think you can bear the consequences of wrongly accusing an official of the imperial court without any evidence?
Also, you were the one who started the war between Jiangchu Prefecture and Guang 'an Prefecture! "
"If I say it's you, then it's you!"
Lin Xiao glanced coldly at Qiu An as if he was looking at a dead man. He said slowly, "This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. You should have known that this day would come when you used your strength to go against Chu Tiannan!"
"No!
No one will believe you! "
Qiu An tried his best to deny it, but there was a flash of panic in his eyes.
He remembered how he used his strength to bully others and set up a trap for Chu Tiannan. Now that Lin Xiao was giving him a taste of his own medicine, how could he not be afraid?
Lin Xiao was not wrong at all.
In Beiwu Country, the strong were respected. Back then, he had tried to curry favor with the Third Prince and set up Chu Tiannan. Although he had made a lot of mistakes, no one would speak up for Chu Tiannan in the face of absolute power. Was this going to happen again?
No.
No!
His backer was the Third Prince!
Qiu An stared into Lin Xiao's eyes and tried to intimidate Lin Xiao. "Even if the imperial family of Beiwu Country stands by and does nothing, the Third Prince will not!
Ye Langtian and I are his subordinates. If you kill us, how will you answer to him? "
"I, Lin Xiao, do not need to answer to anyone!"
Lin Xiao's lips curled into a cold and domineering smile. He gathered all his strength and announced loudly, "The Governor of Guang 'an Prefecture, Qiu An, plotted to murder his colleagues and started a war between the two prefectures. He even tried to escape and was killed by my subordinates!"
"You …"
Qiu An instinctively wanted to refute Lin Xiao's words, but Yang Jian had already acted under Lin Xiao's instructions.
His hand rose and the blade fell!
A silver light flashed and Qiu An's head was separated from his body.
"Cough cough cough …"
At this moment, Ye Langtian, who had just been smashed into the ground by the Juling Shen's hammer, coughed violently and looked at Lin Xiao weakly. "You … You can't kill me … I'm the Third Marquis' subordinate … If you kill me, he won't let you off!"
Although he said that, his eyes were still filled with fear.
Although he was on the brink of death, he had witnessed Qiu An was killed by Yang Jian of the imperial court of the imperial court of the imperial family court.
Qiu An was an official of the imperial court, but Lin Xiao didn't even bat an eyelid and ordered his subordinates to kill him on the spot. This made Ye Langtian very afraid.
But he was severely injured by Juling Shen's hammer. It was difficult for him to even move, let alone escape from Guang 'an Prefecture.
His only hope now was to rely on the Third Prince's power to threaten Lin Xiao so that Lin Xiao would be wary and let him live.
Of course, as long as he left Guang 'an Prefecture, he would not let Lin Xiao off so easily!
Even if Lin Xiao had an expert like Juling Shen by his side, the Third Prince had even more experts by his side. Dealing with a mere Prefectural Governor was as easy as crushing an ant!
Seeing the murderous look in Ye Langtian's eyes, Lin Xiao smiled noncommittally. "You say you're the Third Prince's subordinate?
But how did you end up with Qiu An, who murdered his colleagues and started the war?
Did the Third Prince acquiesce to this? "
Looking at Lin Xiao's serious expression, Ye Langtian's heart began to pound.
A mere Prefectural Governor of Jiangchu Prefecture dares to be so fearless. Does he have someone to rely on in the Imperial City?
No matter who he relies on, as long as he doesn't reveal any flaws, this kid can't do anything to him!
Moreover, in the Imperial City, there weren't many people who were more powerful than the Third Prince. Even the royal family had to respect each other.
Thinking of this, Ye Langtian hurriedly said, "Why would the Third Prince acquiesce to this?
To be honest, I came to Guang 'an Prefecture to investigate the Prefectural Governor of Guang' an Prefecture who murdered the former Prefectural Governor of Jiangchu Prefecture and started a war between the two prefectures. "
In order to survive, Ye Langtian spilled everything he could think of.
Since Qiu An was already dead, there was no point in protecting a dead person.
Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Yang Jian, shrugged and asked, "Did you record everything he said?"
"Yes."
Yang Jian nodded and presented the crystal in his hand to Lin Xiao.
This was a Memory Crystal. It could be used to record certain scenes, just like modern photography. It was very useful.
When Ye Langtian saw the Memory Crystal, the smile on his face froze.
This kid dared to trick him!
But so what if he recorded everything with the Memory Crystal?
Even if he couldn't deal with him legitimately, he could still send assassins to assassinate him. He could definitely kill him.
Thinking of this, Ye Langtian's expression became relaxed again.
At this moment, Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and said mockingly, "You're really loyal to the Third Prince."
"It's my duty to be loyal to the Third Prince."
Ye Langtian looked at Lin Xiao with a fake smile and said weakly, "Now, Prefectural Governor Lin, can you let me leave?"
Although he was tricked by Lin Xiao, as the saying went, "Where there's life, there's hope." As long as he could leave safely, he would have a way to deal with Lin Xiao.
"Of course. How could I attack the Third Prince's subordinate?"
Lin Xiao smiled and looked at Ye Langtian meaningfully.
Ye Langtian smiled proudly and was about to get up when Lin Xiao continued, "It's a pity that such a loyal subordinate of the Third Prince died in Qiu An's hands. What a pity!
Ye Langtian, you can rest in peace! "
W-what!
When Ye Langtian heard Lin Xiao's words, he froze. His mind went blank.
In order to survive, he had said everything. Lin Xiao had even recorded it with a Memory Crystal and ruthlessly played a trick on him.
Even so, Lin Xiao still didn't plan to let him go!
Thinking of this, Ye Langtian was angry and scared. He stared at Lin Xiao with hatred and reached out to grab Lin Xiao. However, Yang Jian's three-pointed, double-edged sword had already pierced his heart.
"No …"
Feeling his life slipping away bit by bit, Ye Langtian's expression was filled with unwillingness.
He was a Tribulation Stage expert. Even in the Imperial City, he had a certain status. If he was outside the Imperial City, he would be like an immortal!
Today, he came to Guang 'an County to help just to get some benefits. He didn't expect to lose his life.
