Chapter 471 Regent Prince's Anger (2)
"He accidentally beat the father to death, but also their only son? By compensation, you mean making it impossible for the family to live in the capital and having to move away? Official Lu, you can go to the Zhao Prison to explain to a certain Father Li!"
This time, Gong Cheng's gaze turned dark as well. He didn't really want to kill them all, but the fact that these people had done such atrocious deeds and claimed that Mo'er was inauspicious made him furious. They should go to the Zhao Prison and suffer a bit!
Therefore, he waved his hands and someone immediately arrested and took Official Lu down.
The moment Gong Jue made his move, everyone present shivered from fear.
For the past year or so, Gong Jue rarely made an appearance because he was busy with the money farm. Therefore, Zhao Prison was just there for looks.
But now, they clearly felt the knives on top of their heads called Gong Jue. The knife hadn't disappeared. He was just temporarily ignoring them. But now, they realized that once they broke his taboo, this knife would become incomparably sharp! Slitting their throats in one move!
When the common people saw this scene, they wanted to applaud!
Firstly, numerous officials wanted to accuse Gong Yimo, claiming that it was her responsibility for the bizarre scene in the sky. These common people were insignificant and couldn't put in words for her.
But now, seeing that those dignified officials were dragged away one by one, they felt as though their anger had been vented! They weren't even that afraid of Gong Jue. Even more, they thought that he was strictly impartial and incorruptible. Although his methods were a bit fierce and powerful, it was effective!
Gong Jue was quiet for a moment. Everyone was looking forward to Gong Jue pulling back. They hoped that he was just punishing individuals because he was angry that these people disrespected Gong Yimo. Now, they knew their faults! Even if they had to wait the entire day, they promised to not say anything! Gong Yimo can be a princess if she wants to! They promised to not have any objections!
But Gong Jue rarely got angry. When he did, how could his anger be easily calmed?
Only his softhearted royal sister would punish an individual to make her point. He still remembered what his royal sister had said to him unintentionally. Keep silent if you're not doing anything. But the moment you do, make sure to eliminate your enemies completely!
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm Therefore, his cold and indifferent gaze landed on another person again.
"Third-grade head of the secretariat, Official Liu…"
That honest-looking old man didn't expect for Gong Jue to call him. After all, in everyone's eyes, he was an honest and uncorrupted man. He had never been bribed nor did he bully the common people!
Therefore, he greeted Gong Jue seemingly with a clear conscience.
"This official is here."
Gong Jue smiled at him, but the dark gaze in his eyes made people shiver.
"This official remembers that you came from a poor background, right? Do you still remember how you obtained the silver taels for you to take the exam in the capital?"
Official Liu's aged face revealed shock. He didn't expect Gong Jue to figure this out either!
For a moment, he panicked. His palms were drenched in sweat, but he still felt a sense of hope.
He said in a low voice, "P-prince… you can get straight to the point."
Gong Jue lightly lifted his brows and slowly said, "You came from the countryside, living in the village of a person that had passed the imperial exam. Your parents had died when you were young, and you were poor. The family income came from your child bride, Madam Zhao. After that, you made progress in your studies and wanted to enter the city to take the exam. However, you had no income. In the end, it was your wife, Madam Zhao, who had concealed her identity and sold herself to a brothel. Thus, you got your first travel expenses. Do you still remember this?"
