Chapter 239

Before Zhangsun Chong could even catch his breath, he felt a chill on his neck.

Subsequently!

A line of blood spurted out.

Zhangsun Chong's pupils shrank suddenly, and he pinched his neck tightly with both hands.

But the blood still seeped out from his fingertips, like a faucet that couldn't be stopped!

"Uh... uh..."

Zhangsun Chong turned his stiff body, looking at Zhangsun Wuji, who hadn't reacted yet, with dead eyes.

"Ah!!!"

A sharp scream rang out.

"Chong'er!"

Zhangsun Wuji finally reacted and ran toward Zhangsun Chong like a madman.

And at this time.

Empress Zhangsun stopped abruptly at the entrance of the inn.

She turned around, saw Zhangsun Chong with dull eyes, and Zhangsun Wuji crying bitterly while holding the corpse, instantly feeling dizzy, her eyes going black, and she fainted directly.

The private room inside the inn.

Empress Zhangsun lay on the sickbed, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes closed tightly.

She had been dreaming.

In the dream.

Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji stood in front of her covered in blood.

Qin Mu stood on the side, holding a bloody sword, smiling at her.

"Aunt, save me!"

Zhangsun Chong's figure appeared in front of Empress Zhangsun, covered in blood, and kept retreating.

"Chong'er!"

Empress Zhangsun opened her eyes suddenly and sat up straight.

"Mother Empress! You're awake?"

Li Xueyan and Changle, who had been guarding the side, were startled and hurried over.

Empress Zhangsun looked around with blurred eyes, seemingly unable to distinguish between dream and reality.

"Xueyan, Changle, where is Chong'er?"

After a while, Empress Zhangsun hurriedly asked the two daughters.

Li Xueyan and Changle looked at each other with difficult expressions.

What else could happen?

He must be cold through and through!

Daring to be so arrogant in front of Qin Mu, even if he were a nine-lived cat demon, it probably wouldn't be enough to be killed.

"Sob sob sob!"

Empress Zhangsun covered her mouth and sobbed sadly.

How could this happen?

Why did this happen?

Watching a relative die in front of her with her own eyes.

Heart-wrenching!

"Mother Empress, don't be sad. Zhangsun Chong brought this upon himself!"

"He was arrogant and domineering in Great Qin's Jiannan Circuit, and even tried to assassinate Qin Mu in public. Not executing him by a thousand cuts was already Qin Mu's mercy."

"We should be glad, glad that Qin Mu let Zhangsun Chong die quickly without suffering too much torture."

Li Xueyan comforted her softly.

Zhangsun Chong was looking for death in the first place!

How much does Qin Mu value the Jiannan Circuit Trade Exchange in his heart?

Even coming to show support in person on the opening day.

On such an important occasion, Zhangsun Chong jumped around like a clown.

If he wasn't decisive, people would think Jiannan Circuit was a place without law! If everyone were like Zhangsun Chong in the future, how would the Jiannan Circuit Trade Exchange be managed? You must know.

The future development of this trade exchange will definitely be black and white.

Whether it's fugitives from various countries or lawbreakers, they will definitely come here to trade.

Qin Mu's ruthlessness is also to show the world a purpose.

As long as you enter the Jiannan Circuit Trade Exchange, you must be honest!

Whether you are a royal relative or a Great Tang Top Graduate!

Even if you are the King of Heaven, on my turf, you must follow my rules!

Otherwise.

Kill without mercy!

Without this, it would be impossible to deter the world!

Li Xueyan understood Qin Mu's purpose in doing this.

"Hehe!"

"According to you, should I thank him?" Empress Zhangsun smiled coldly, mocking herself. Qin Mu, oh Qin Mu!

Why are you so ruthless and absolute?

"Mother Empress, don't be angry with brother-in-law anymore."

"If you ask me, Cousin really did wrong."

"Ever since brother-in-law's masterpiece of a thousand years was impersonated by him, he has been triumphant, and later it became even more exaggerated, not taking anyone seriously."

"The people in Chang'an City also held him high, but he didn't have the weight at all!"

"It's easy to fall when you climb high, maybe this ending is not a bad thing for Cousin. Otherwise, who knows what kind of catastrophe he would cause in the future?"

Changle also agreed with Li Xueyan's view.

She had never liked Zhangsun Chong.

Especially after getting that Top Graduate title, he became even more arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone.

Not to mention the civil and military officials in the court, even veteran Dukes like Wei Zheng and Li Ji were not taken seriously by Zhangsun Chong.

Doing evil things and forcing good women into prostitution were common occurrences.

Such a scourge, if not removed early, who knows what hidden dangers it would bring to the future of the Great Tang?

Now it's good!

No one will spoil you in Jiannan Circuit!

Daring to shout in front of brother-in-law, isn't that just being tired of living?

Looking for death yourself, you can't blame anyone.

"Help me up, I want to see him."

Empress Zhangsun didn't want to listen to the two daughters' persuasion anymore, stood up with effort, and walked toward the door swaying.

At this time.

Inside the private room where Qin Mu was.

Yu Huatian was standing respectfully in front of him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Zhangsun Chong's corpse has been taken by Zhangsun Wuji to an inn outside Jiannan Circuit."

"Zhangsun Wuji doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving here, just ordering people to transport Zhangsun Chong's corpse to Chang'an."

Yu Huatian reported the news he had gathered to Qin Mu truthfully.

"Hmph!"

"Of course he won't leave!"

"This old fox is very calm, it's just the death of a son, it's not a big deal to him."

"He brought iron ore equivalent to all his family's assets here. If the trade hasn't been reached, even the elders of their Zhangsun family won't agree when he returns to the capital." Qin Mu smiled coldly, having long seen through Zhangsun Wuji's thoughts.

Even after experiencing the pain of losing a son, this old fox was still thinking about trading iron ore.

With such resilience, he is worthy of being the head of the Great Tang officials.
