Qiao Ziyun was dead. The Fu Mansion's prefect, a border official, a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, a great figure at the peak of the Xiantian realm.
He died just like that, killed by Zhou Xian's finger.
Cheng Fei and Ruthless also came out of their cells.
"You've suffered!"
Zhou Xian looked at the person in front of him. Even though her face was expressionless, like an ice cube,
However, beauty was beauty. Her three views would involuntarily follow her facial features.
The person who tried his best to make you laugh was still not as happy as the person you liked at first sight.
Some people had already won just by standing there!
"No!" Ruthless still had a straight face, as if someone owed her a lot of money.
"Lord Marquis, I've suffered too. Do you want to raise my wages?
No, according to what you said, it should be a salary increase!”
Cheng Fei said cheekily.
"How much do you want to increase?"
"It's fine as long as it means something. Although my life is in danger this time, I'll do anything for Lord Marquis. I'll go up a mountain of knives or go down a pot of oil!”
"Then it won't increase!"
"Don't!"
"If you keep talking, I'll deduct your salary!"
"Alright, heartless capitalist!"
"Eh, you've been with me for so long and have improved. Even the capitalists know about it. Then raise it by 100 taels!”
"Long live Lord Marquis!"
Cheng Fei danced with joy.
This was also the reason why Zhou Xian brought him along. His strength was not bad, and he could also relieve boredom.
Otherwise, it would be too boring to face such a heartless face every day.
"Is it okay to kill Qiao?"
Wu Qing was somewhat worried. After all, he was a high official of the Imperial Court. Even though Zhou Xian seemed to have a high status, he did not have enough foundation.
Moreover, there were many people in the royal court who wanted to kill him, including the disciples of the aristocratic families and the nobles. He was still worried that he would not have any evidence against him.
"He took bribes and perverted the law, raped the people, colluded with the Qing Dynasty, and attempted to rebel.”
"Do you have evidence?"
"If you don't, then investigate, right, Haitang?”
Shangguan Haitang said nothing.
"The great clans do things very cleanly.”Wu Qing said slowly.
"Are you concerned about me?"
Zhou Xian moved closer to him. Their faces were almost pressed together, but her face was not red and she was not panting.
"Up to you!"
"Boring!"
Zhou Xian retreated. This person was untouchable, and had a heart of stone.
"Hah! The hooligan moves are useless!"
Shangguan Haitang laughed.
"It's okay. There's still a long way to go. Where there's sincerity, there's always metal and stone. We've looked back thousands of times in our previous lives in exchange for this encounter!
I'm willing to become a stone bridge and endure the wind, sun, and rain for five hundred years. I only ask that you pass by the bridge!”
"You're only lying to Sister Duan with your sweet nothings. We won't fall for it!”
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. As for the evidence, if you can't find it, then make it up!”
"You're simply lawless. You forged evidence. If we find out, we'll kill you.”
"My words are evidence. Besides, I'm not making it up, right?”
Zhou Xian looked at Zhao Deyang who was sitting paralyzed at the side.
"Yes, Lord Marquis is right. Qiao Ni took bribes and perverted the law. He raped the people and colluded with the Qing Dynasty to plot a rebellion. He deserves to die ten thousand times.
Lord Marquis killing him was simply a great pleasure for the people. He pleaded for the lives of the people, benefited the people, and did good deeds.
Lord Marquis's greatness and glory was like the sun shining on the earth.
Lord Marquis is truly loyal to the country, devoted and devoted to the Great Ming, a pillar supporting the heavens.
……”
Zhao Deyang kept talking non-stop. His flattery made Zhou Xian feel a little sour.
It made him a little suspicious. Was he really that outstanding?
"Enough, you're shameless!”
Shangguan Haitang was furious. She raised her hand and wanted to shoot this little person to death.
Zhao Deyang saw her expression and immediately shut up.
"Since Qiao Ziyun's trusted aide said so, then there must be evidence of his crime, right?”
"This, Lord Marquis, usually Qiao Da…Qiao Ni has done a very clean job. Those who should be silenced have been silenced, so this lowly one can't find them!”
"No, I can have this!"
"Lord Marquis, there really isn't!"
Zhao Deyang's face was bitter and helpless!
"Hmm?"
Zhou Xian slightly frowns.
"Lord Marquis, you really are a god. This lowly one suddenly remembered that there really is such a thing.”
Seeing Zhou Xian's expression, he immediately changed his words.
"I'm a scoundrel!"
Shangguan Haitang scoffed.
"What a talent!" Cheng Fei also sighed with emotion. He was usually glib and spoke human language when he saw people and ghost language when he saw ghosts, but compared to this brother, he still had to admit defeat.
"Don't underestimate anyone. A person's potential is endless, especially in the face of life and death.
Since ancient times, how many people could die for justice, be indifferent to life and death, and fight if they were not convinced?
It's human nature to be afraid of death!"
For some reason, he saw humanity in this person.
"Lord Marquis is right!" Cheng Fei praised.
"Hey, what's your name? I forgot to ask." This was a talent. Zhou Xian decided to give him a chance to soar into the sky.
"Replying to Lord Marquis, this lowly one is called Zhao Deyang!”
Zhao Deyang heaved a sigh of relief. If everything went as planned, his life was saved.
"I will remember this. If there is evidence of Qiao Ziyun's crime, you will live. If not, you will die!
If you do a good job, the position of Prefect of Fu Residence will be yours.”
"Really?" Zhao Deyang's eyes lit up. This was a leap to heaven!
"Yes!"
"Marquis Zhou, you're so awe-inspiring. That's an official of the Imperial Court, how can you decide it by yourself?”
Shangguan Haitang mocked,
"The last one died there. If the next one doesn't suit me, he'll have to lie there too!”
Zhou Xian used the calmest words to decide the position of the Supreme Lord of the land of a prefecture.
