$429.Who Said I Was Dead?

Ding'an City, Prefecture Mufu.

With the end of the battle at Yunhai Bay, the hearts of Qin Shijin and others were completely relieved.

Both Xiao Changfeng and Ancestor Qingjiao were all destroyed.

Lingzhou will be able to sit back and relax in the next few decades.

The only one who worried Qin Shijin was Xiao Yurong.

That day, the Medicine Emperor and the Sword Emperor arrived and took Xiao Yurong away.

Although he had the intention to stop him, he was powerless in the face of the two powerful men of the Imperial Martial Realm.

Moreover, Zhao Sanqing and Xue Feixian were both from Yin Yang Academy, so Qin Shijin had to let go in the end.

Today, there is lively singing and dancing in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion.

In the main hall, food, wine, beautiful women and music are all showing a luxurious atmosphere.

The person sitting at the top was naturally Qin Shijin, the governor of Lingzhou.

On his left side, sitting is his son Qin Guangde.

On his right side, there was a young man who was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary bearing.

The young man's steps were sloppy and his face was pale. It seemed that his body had been drained by alcohol and sex.

Behind the young man, stood an old man with a withered face.

The old man's arms had protruding veins, like a black horned dragon, and his eyes were half-closed, not revealing.

"Mr. Wei, you have come all the way from Kyoto. There is nothing good in our small place. I am ashamed."

Qin Shijin first picked up his wine glass and spoke to the young man.

If Xiao Changfeng were here, he would be able to identify this young man at a glance.

Surprisingly, it was Wei Guoyong, the second son of Duke Wei.

"The Marquis of Qin is so humble. They all say that Lingzhou has outstanding people. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."

Wei Guoyong raised his glass, his eyes flickering on the maids around him, with a hint of greed in his eyes.

He was already known as a lecherous person, and he had a long journey, and now he was even more hungry.

"Master!"

Feeling Wei Guoyong's gaze, the old man behind him couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

"I understand, business is more important."

Disturbed, Wei Guoyong frowned.

"If Mr. Wei likes it, I will send a few of them to drink with you tonight."

Qin Guangde had a flattering look on his face and took the initiative to offer the beauty as a gift.

Although Wei Guoyong is younger than him, his status is much higher than him.

Therefore, he also hurriedly flattered.

After hearing Qin Guangde's words, Wei Guoyong looked back.

"Master Qin's kindness is so disrespectful to me."

Wei Guoyong raised his glass to Qin Guangde and then took a sip.

Qin Guangde suddenly showed surprise and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this scene, Qin Shijin couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Mr. Wei, I wonder what the important thing is for your Majesty to send you here?"

Qin Shijin spoke directly.

He holds a high position and is a high-ranking official in the border areas. If the Duke of Wei comes in person, he will still be wary.

A mere Wei Guoyong is not enough for him to fawn over.

"Qin Hou, don't be anxious!"

Wei Guoyong smacked his lips before putting down his wine glass.

"I came here mainly for two things. This is not only my grandfather's wish, but also the Queen's decree."

Wei Guoyong waved his hand gently, and immediately the old man behind him touched the storage ring and took out a golden Yizhi.

"I pay my respects to the Queen, may I live a thousand years!"

Seeing Yi's order is like seeing the queen. Even Qin Shijin had to kneel down and kowtow to receive the order.

Seeing this scene, Wei Guoyong's face showed a hint of pride.

However, he also knew the importance of the matter and stood up immediately, holding Yizhi in hand.

"The first thing is that all the shops of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce in Lingzhou are strictly investigated and dealt with, and all goods are sealed and turned over, especially the pills."

Wei Guoyong opened his mouth and spoke, pretending to be powerful.

"Sifang Chamber of Commerce!"

Qin Shijin was shocked.

Who in the entire Dawu Dynasty doesn't know that this is His Majesty's property.

The Queen actually wants to investigate and deal with the Sifang Chamber of Commerce. She is going to completely break up with His Majesty.

Could it be that the rumored dispute between the emperor and empress in Kyoto has really reached this point?

"Marquis Qin, this is the Queen's order. We don't care about other goods, but the pills must be collected without missing a single one."

Wei Guoyong had a proud smile on his face.

Ever since he knew that Xiao Changfeng was Master Xiao, the hatred in Wei Guoyong's heart became even stronger.

In the past, it was difficult for him to find a single pill, but now, he wants to investigate and deal with them all.

"Hmph, if you didn't die and saw your hard work wasted in vain, what a wonderful expression it would be."

The hatred in Wei Guoyong's heart could not be eliminated.

Xiao Changfeng forced him to kneel down in public and was banned for three months afterwards. He was extremely resentful towards Xiao Changfeng.

"Mr. Wei, the Sifang Chamber of Commerce is your Majesty's property."

After all, Qin Shijin couldn't help but speak.

After all, this matter is no small matter. Once you are on the wrong team, you will lose everything.

"That's right, it's the Sifang Chamber of Commerce!"

A trace of ferocity and joy appeared in Wei Guoyong's eyes.

"That's the second thing I want to tell you."

"The Queen has given you a chance because of your meritorious service in governing Lingzhou and your hard work over the years."

After saying that, Wei Guoyong smiled and stared straight at Qin Shijin.

"Surrender or perish!"

boom!

When Wei Guoyong finished his words, the entire main hall suddenly fell silent.

Qin Shijin and Qin Guangde's eyes widened in shock.

This is a desperate attempt.

This submission naturally refers to submission to the Empress.

As for destruction, there is no need to say.

Has the dispute between the Emperor and the Empress become so serious?

As a minister, Qin Shijin is naturally a minister of Dawu and is loyal to His Majesty Emperor Wu.

But the Empress's power is greater, and she is backed by the Saint Zhenwu.

Qin Shijin was confused for a moment and didn't know what to do.

"Submission, we will definitely choose to submit."

However, Qin Guangde reacted quickly and kowtowed to express his gratitude and submission.

"Our Qin family has always respected the Empress. We will definitely obey the Empress's will. Don't worry, Master Wei. Lingzhou has always fully supported the Empress."

Qin Guangde is timid and afraid of things. He understands the Empress's overwhelming power.

This time, Wei Guoyong was specially sent to convey the imperial decree, which means that this is an ultimatum.

If you don't submit, you will perish.

Is there any need to consider such a choice? Naturally, it is more important to choose to save your life.

"Lord Qin, what do you think?"

Wei Guoyong was very satisfied with Qin Guangde's knowledge of the times, but the governor of Lingzhou was still Qin Shijin after all.

"Father, can you bear to destroy the entire Qin family?"

Qin Guangde hurriedly spoke to comfort him. He still had endless glory and wealth, and he didn't want to die like this.

At this time, there was only one way in front of Qin Shijin.

His face turned pale.

But in the end he had to bow his head.

"The Qin family is willing to obey the orders of the queen!"

Qin Shijin sighed and finally chose to surrender.

"Hahaha."

Seeing this scene, Wei Guoyong was extremely proud and felt that he had never been so happy in his life.

"Xiao Changfeng, it's a pity that you died too early, otherwise I would trample all your hard work under my feet in front of you."

Wei Guoyong's eyes were full of hatred.

"Oh? Who said I was dead?"

At this moment.

A faint voice came from outside the door!
