Inside Lin Manor, Lin Qingyue wielded her spear with an unusually cold gaze, her movements becoming increasingly sharp and urgent. In an instant, a flash of cold light swept through the air.
Zheng Chang knelt on the ground, drenched in sweat. The tip of Lin Qingyue's spear was just a finger's breadth away from his eyes. Unable to suppress a gulp, he cautiously said, "General, I truly had no idea that waste could have any connection with the Imperial Merchant. If I had known earlier, how could I have offended those powerful figures?"
Hearing this, Lin Qingyue let out a cold snort and retracted her spear. "No! Do you know what your biggest mistake is? You should have dealt with Jiang Han before the Imperial Merchant arrived! Because no one will speak for a dead man!"
Zheng Chang's eyes widened, and he felt a chill run down his back. "So that's how it is... General, I understand your meaning now. Please give me another chance; I assure you that this time I will not give that waste any opportunity!"
Lin Qingyue furrowed her brow and slapped him directly across the face. Zheng Chang fell to the ground from the force of the blow. "You are the one who lacks brains! Now that the Imperial Merchant has intervened, making a move against him would be like openly defying the royal family! If you want to die, then get lost! Don't drag me down with you!"
Zheng Chang covered his face and remained silent for a long time. Just then, a burly man approached Lin Qingyue from behind. Seeing the scene unfold, he gestured for calm.
"Qingyue, it’s not worth causing such a ruckus over a waste!"
Lin Qingyue turned to face her father, Lin Zhentian, and cupped her hands in respect. "Father, I understand this principle very well! However, it’s truly ridiculous that a waste can connect with the Imperial Merchant!"
Lin Zhentian patted Lin Qingyue's shoulder and shook his head. "There’s no need for that. Our Lin family is now one of the newly risen aristocratic families. As long as you marry the Crown Prince soon, these problems will be nothing! The Imperial Merchants will naturally have opportunities to deal with them later!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyue smiled. "Father, rest assured. I've already made arrangements with the Heir; after one month, when he completes the succession ceremony for Langya Prince, that will be our wedding day."
Lin Zhentian's pupils constricted in excitement that he could hardly conceal. "Good! That’s truly wonderful!" His emotions were particularly heightened.
At that moment, an arrow shot in from a distance. Sensing this sudden threat, Lin Qingyue let out a cold snort and slightly shifted her body to the side.
But in the next moment, Zheng Chang, who had been kneeling on the ground, watched helplessly as the arrow came flying toward him. He tried to move, but after kneeling for so long, he found himself unable to budge!
Bang!
With a loud thud, Zheng Chang's eyes widened as he stood frozen in place. Blood trickled slowly down his neck.
Lin Qingyue witnessed this scene and clenched her fists, her face turning an ugly shade. This was a provocation! In Lin Manor, right under her nose, her deputy had been killed! Who dares to show themselves?
Lin Qingyue tightened her grip on her spear, her gaze scanning the surroundings intently. At that moment, Lin Zhentian was also hiding nearby, fearing that the next arrow might come flying toward him. This was a lesson learned! If there were to be a next time, it wouldn’t just be one dog dead.
A cold voice echoed around them. Lin Qingyue gripped her spear tighter, searching for the source of the voice. However, she found nothing!
Releasing her hold on the spear, she took a deep breath. What an Imperial Merchant!
Hearing this, Lin Zhentian glanced around and, confirming that the person had already left, finally relaxed. He approached Lin Qingyue curiously and asked, "Qingyue, do you mean that the one who just attacked was from the Imperial Merchant?"
Lin Qingyue snorted coldly. "Of course! In this capital city, who else would dare to brazenly infiltrate Lin Manor and kill right before my eyes except for someone from the royal family?"
Lin Zhentian opened his mouth, a hint of worry flashing across his brow. "What should we do then? After all, they are from the Imperial Merchant. If we confront them head-on, we might not gain any advantage!"
It’s all Jiang Han's fault! If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be so many troubles! Such a despicable creature should have died long ago!
Lin Zhentian was filled with rage, wishing he could tear Jiang Han to pieces.
Lin Qingyue frowned. "Father, since the Imperial Merchant dares to act so arrogantly, we must make them pay the price! Zheng Chang is my deputy and was personally appointed by His Majesty. Now that he has been assassinated like this, I want to see how the royal family will respond. Does killing someone not require accountability? If His Majesty truly supports this behavior, then he is courting his own destruction!"
Lin Zhentian nodded vigorously and said seriously, "You’re right, Qingyue! I will arrange for people to prepare immediately. This time, we must make it known to everyone and let them understand that our Lin family is not so easily bullied!"
Lin Qingyue nodded.
In the Imperial Study, at this moment, Su Qianxue, dressed in a Dragon Robe, sat at the desk. As she looked at the inventory of supplies, her heart trembled. It was a miracle! In this time of famine, a small Jiang Family Shop could produce such a large quantity of food! It was worth noting that even the national treasury had only received this amount from Jiang Han once! The treasury of an entire nation was not even half of what a merchant could provide. If this were to get out, it would certainly cause a tremendous uproar. One could even say it would be shocking!
This Jiang Han is quite interesting! No wonder Lin Qingyue was able to triumph with his support!
Su Qianxue's eyes flickered slightly as she couldn't help but murmur to herself. Just then, a maid dressed in dark clothing approached Su Qianxue and bowed in greeting.
"Your Majesty! The task you assigned has been completed. Zheng Chang has died by an arrow!"
However, I estimate that the Lin family will not let this matter rest so easily. They might scheme to use public opinion to force Your Majesty to reveal the killer.
Su Qianxue waved her hand dismissively, a cold glint flashing across her face. Did the Lin family truly believe that by aligning themselves with the Langya Prince, everything would go smoothly for them? They should not forget that this is Da Zhou! This is my territory! If they want to stir up trouble, then I shall accompany them to the end!
With a flourish of her sleeve, Su Qianxue declared that if she had any reservations before, now, with the food provided by Jiang Han, the situation had changed!
