Chapter 706 He Knows What to Do

I wouldn't dare to be arrogant. I immediately replied: “To this young master, we are officials from Weihaiwei, ordered to come and collect fishing taxes. But these scoundrels dared to resist by force...Chapter 706: He Knew What to Do

These words are simple, yet they contain a terrifying murderous intent and the rage of a father who has lost his child.

Nothing is more sorrowful than seeing a gray-haired person send off a black-haired one.

But Wen Wang was suffering this great calamity.

Looking at Wen Wang beside him, Duan Jinjiang suddenly had an idea.

Li Junze, although not a man of great ambition, has always been most afraid of his father and has always behaved meekly and obediently. Otherwise, with the temperament of today's young people, how could he restrain himself from living in such a bustling place as Beijing for several years

Therefore, all of Li Junze's actions, including his cooperation and collusion with Zhao Xuanji, must have been instigated by King Wen.

Then, King Wen, had he already foreseen all this

This thought made Duan Jinjiang's forehead sweat, he stood stiffly in place without moving.

He even felt that this friend he had known for decades, someone he thought he knew inside and out, had become so strange, as if he could tear away his mask at any moment and transform into a ferocious beast that devoured people without spitting out their bones.

"Speaking of which, I still owe you a debt of gratitude, Duan Ge, for finding me Zhao Wang."

Wen Wang slowly said: "Let me, within the capital's situation, have a little more room to maneuver."

Duang Jinjiang said, "It's just mutually beneficial. How does King Wen plan to handle it"

"Zhao Xuanji killed my son, I killed one of his sons, is that too much"

Wen Wang's words caused a subtle change in Duan Jin Jiang's expression.

"King Wen, Zhao Xuanji made this choice because he was forced by the circumstances..."

"Brother Duan."

Wen Wang calmly interrupted Duan Jin Jiang's words, "I know you want to say that the current East Palace is our biggest enemy, but you are wrong. That may be true for you, but for me, my only enemy is that brother of mine who lies in the Qianqing Palace yet still controls the fate of the empire."

As for the young nephew in the East Palace, he's still a little short of being ready.

Duan Jinjiang frowned.

In the beginning, both he and Zhao Xuanji thought so too.

Everyone believed that the East Palace Prince had no foundation, and even if the emperor gave him the power to govern the country, he would most likely just be a puppet.

But now.

Zhao Xuanji was caught off guard and utterly embarrassed. He was forced to admit to the crime of killing someone in public.

and he too became a stray, forced to feign death in order to survive.

He hated Li Chen intensely, and was also terrified of him.

So he hoped that King Wen would raise his vigilance against Li Chen and kill him first before considering anything else.

But looking at Wen Wang's appearance, Duan Jinjiang let out a sigh. Now that he was living under someone else's roof, what qualifications did he have to influence Wen Wang's decisions

I hope Wen Wang won't repeat the same mistakes and pay the price for his arrogance today.

By the riverbank, the two of them didn't speak. The atmosphere fell silent for a while.

In a little while, the sound of water splashing came from the surface. The float on Wenwang's fishing rod sank, and he raised his hand to reel it in. A fine carp was caught.

Seeing the carp thrashing on the ground, trying to return to the water, Wen Wang stood up and said to Duan Jincheng, "Having stolen half a day of leisure from life, this half day of fishing at least wasn't in vain. Brother Duan, this carp is yours."

Duang Jinjiang didn't really feel like eating fish, but since it was sent by King Wen, he couldn't refuse.

"Then, thank you, Lord Wen." Duan Jiangjiang bowed and said.

"Please have someone deliver this letter to Zhao Xuanji. He'll know what to do after reading it."ch deliberation between two options, he was about to speak when a clatter of hooves thundered towards them.The sound of hooves was extremely rapid, accompanied by the heavy thudding of many feet.This...
