Chapter 100: Prince Jin

100. Chapter 100: Prince Jin

Prince Jin's residence.

Prince Jin Qi Hao furiously smashed every ornament in the study to pieces, while outside the study, a group of advisors did not dare to even breathe.

Faced with the enraged Prince Jin, no one dared to say a single extra word.

"Trash!"

"A bunch of trash!"

"How did I end up raising such a bunch of trash?"

"All of you, get in here!"

Qi Hao's voice carried outside. The advisors exchanged glances and cautiously entered the study. Looking at the shattered porcelain fragments on the floor and the broken tables and chairs, they could not find a single place to set their feet, and ultimately had no choice but to step on the broken porcelain.

"Didn't you all say this plan wouldn't have any flaws?"

"Now who is going to give me an explanation?"

"Why did Xie Zian come knocking at the door?"

Qi Hao thought back to what Xie Zian had said when he came looking for him earlier, and his anger flared all over again.

He, a dignified prince of the blood, had lost all face before a junior.

"Your Highness, Xie Zian has no evidence!"

Finally, one advisor summoned his courage and spoke up.

Then, with a "bang," the advisor who had spoken began bleeding from the forehead and collapsed limply to the ground.

In Qi Hao's hand was a club, which he had viciously brought down on the man's head.

"No evidence!"

"If he had evidence, I would have already been reduced to a commoner by now!"

"Bastards!"

Qi Hao swung the club, striking the fallen advisor's head again and again, until the man's head was completely smashed apart. Only then did he drop the club in his hand.

"I don't care how you do it. In short, if Xie Zian targets me, before I die, I will drag all of you down with me — you'll all die!"

At this moment, Prince Jin was like a madman.

The advisors were all trembling.

They had never imagined that this Prince Jin, whom they had once regarded as a wise lord, actually had such a brutal side.

In the past, who didn't know that Prince Jin was courteous to the talented and thirsty for talent?

But now, they finally understood that all of it was fake.

However, it was too late!

From the moment they pledged themselves to Prince Jin's banner, they had no more choices.

……

"I'm saying, since you had no evidence, why did you go pick a fight with Prince Jin?"

Zeng Jiu had accompanied Xie Zian on a trip to Prince Jin's residence, and after coming out, he was very curious, unable to figure out what Xie Zian's purpose was.

Without evidence, showing up at his door like this — wasn't that just alerting the enemy?

"You don't understand Prince Jin!"

Xie Zian chuckled. "Qi Hao — that man may have a very good reputation, but actually, it's all an act. At his core, he's someone who absolutely cannot keep his composure."

"I went looking for him today, so he's definitely very angry."

"And once he gets angry, he'll certainly take it out on the people around him."

"And so, our opportunity arrives!"

Xie Zian didn't care what Prince Jin's true goal was, because whether Prince Jin targeted the Empress or Shen Yunyao, he was targeting him.

Those two — one was his sister, the other was his wife.

To put it bluntly, Prince Jin was simply courting death.

Without evidence, he couldn't do anything to Prince Jin.

But without evidence, one could find evidence, or fabricate evidence.

……

A mere hour later, Zeng Jiu received intelligence from a spy the Night Patrol Bureau had planted in Prince Jin's residence: Prince Jin had smashed up his study and beaten an advisor to death.

"This son of a bitch is an idiot, isn't he!"

After learning what Prince Jin had done, Zeng Jiu felt that this Prince Jin must have something wrong with his head.

At a time like this, the thing he should be doing most is winning people's hearts to prevent more lapses from occurring. Yet he actually beat his own advisor to death — was he afraid his subordinates wouldn't rebel?
