Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"This is what Chendi should do." Gu Junxiu said humbly. In all the dynasties, people like this brother were extremely rare. A lot of people are fighting for that throne. Gu Qingcheng had never had any suspicions about him, even amongst the commoners, he shouted loudly and he did not mind at all.

After he finished listening to Gu Junxiu's words, he was no longer as angry as he was before. Thinking back to the very eye-catching name he saw on the list, he couldn't help but ask, "Prime Minister Lin is one of these people?"

Gu Junxiu nodded and explained the content one by one. Gu Qingcheng was astounded, his eyes and mouth agape as he said, "This should be equivalent to spending money in the palace for several years."

The amount of corruption here was enormous, causing him to be unable to recover from his shock for a moment. Moreover, it was the Prime Minister who was head of a hundred officials. However, Gu Junxiu's next words caused him to be even more surprised. He said in a calm tone, "Lin Fan and the people from Dongqing Country seem to have arrived."

Dong Qing Nation was a small country located north of Xiyue Kingdom. However, it had been growing stronger in recent years, so its strength could not be underestimated. If they were to allow it to expand and expand, it would become a great threat to the Xiyue Kingdom. Gu Junxiu had always been concerned about the affairs of this country. This time, he had accidentally discovered a letter from Lin Yemao.

No matter what, with just these few points alone, it was impossible for Lin Fan to remain safe and sound as his prime minister. Because of his disjointed relationship in the middle of the court, he wanted to thoroughly investigate this matter before making his plans.

Gu Qingcheng had yet to recover from the matter of corrupting in the forest, but his words just now were unwittingly like a clap of thunder, as he asked in disbelief, "The prime minister betrayed the nation?"

"According to Chendi, there is a high chance that this is the case, but the letters that were intercepted did not contain anything related to Xiyue Kingdom, so it is not enough for us to hear about the crime of treason."

Although there was no clear evidence, he would not be able to escape death based on the amount he had embezzled. Gu Qingcheng agreed with him, but with the situation, the position of Prime Minister became vacant, and he said worriedly, "Because of this matter, many of the officials in the palace are out of commission, if we do not find a substitute as soon as possible, it might cause trouble."

The officials in Xiyue Kingdom all came here through hereditary means, so most of the people in the court were related. Although there were many outstanding people in the families, there were only a few, and there were not many people in the families.

Gu Junxiu had not thought that those officials would actually resign this night, so he did not consider it. He could only say, "Allow Chendi to think about it carefully. Royal Brother can temporarily drag their memorials until he finds a solution to the problem before agreeing to their resignation."

This matter was resolved, but this was not the reason why Gu Junxiu came here tonight. After solving this problem, he immediately said, "Royal Brother wants to capture Lin Yemao as soon as possible."

Gu Qingcheng frowned and thought for a while before agreeing to his suggestion. He remembered that although it was difficult to escape death in Lin Fan, he still contributed greatly to the Xiyue Kingdom. His heart softened as he said, "Right now, he is only on the count of corruption, there is no need to implicate his family."

Gu Junxiu frowned slightly. If the Nine Clan had not been exterminated, the survivors of the Lin Clan would have definitely gone against the imperial government, especially Lin Zian. He wanted Gu Qingcheng to give up on that thought, so he took the initiative and said, "You don't have to persuade me. We have already decided, the crimes committed by Lin Feng are not enough to bring harm to our family.

Every time he encountered something that concerned his life, he would become incomparably resolute, and Gu Junxiu was also unable to change his decision. He could only helplessly agree, and requested in the end, "Can Royal Brother pass this matter to Chendi to handle?"

Gu Qingcheng agreed without hesitation. He trusted his completely because he was the only one capable of doing so.

On the second day at the Floating Cloud Villa, the chief steward anxiously ran into Lin Zian's room and said, "Manor Owner, something bad has happened. Lord Lin will go for you today at noon. All of the citizens of the capital will be discussing about this matter." Lin Zian's hand that was holding the sword swayed, and immediately asked: "When did it happen?"

"Prince Yu went to capture those people from the Lin Clan last night, but the other members of the Lin Clan were fine." The Head Supervisor said simply.

She tightly held onto his arm, even though she had previously seen how those ancient heroes could use Qing Gong's enviable Qing Gong to float back and forth in the air. However, when she was experiencing it herself, her heart was beating faster and her eyes were tightly shut, not daring to look at her surroundings.

Lin Zian did not care whether she was afraid or not, and coldly said, "You will soon be able to see Prince Yu."

He had truly underestimated the cruelty of Prince Yu, to actually threaten his own father. He didn't want to waste time on finding a place to hide and directly let out. He coldly glanced at Ruan Xiaonuan, and caused her to almost let go of her hand in shock, when she suddenly realized that she was still in the air and tightly grabbing onto his arm with a lingering fear.

When Lin Zian found the prison cart, he was already at the execution grounds. He saw Gu Junxiu sitting on the horse, directly holding Ruan Xiaonuan and standing in front of him, and said to him, "Let's talk properly."

He first looked at Ruan Xiaonuan. Seeing that she was unharmed, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief. He secretly gave Xiao Qi a glance before replying to Lin Zian's words.

"The time for execution cannot be changed. This King didn't say anything to you. Release him as soon as possible. Today, you will be exempted from intruding upon the execution grounds." Lin Zian glanced in the direction of the forest; he was wearing his prison uniform and his face was dejected. He couldn't believe for a moment that it was his gentle and refined father.

Gu Junxiu took the chance and suddenly flew over, and brought the frightened Ruan Xiaonuan to her side. Lin Zian realised that he had been set up, and immediately unsheathed the sword in his hand and rushed towards the two of them.

His sword techniques were famous for being fast in the martial arts world, and others could not even see his movements clearly, his sword was already in front of Gu Junxiu, but he seemed to not have noticed it, and continued to walk forward.

Ruan Xiaonuan's eyes opened wide, seeing the person rushing over, she could not help but shout out, "Be careful!"
