C4448 An Interrogation!
“Is… is he crazy?”
“Hiss, what a nasty scolding. Did you see that? The three Marquis’ faces are all black. Tsk tsk, I wonder how we’ll end this.”
“My God, I can’t believe my eyes. What did I see? Is he going to completely flip the table? Good gracious.”
All the cultivators watched coldly from the side and discussed non-stop. They were even pointing at the three Marquis, watching a good show.
“Heh, it’s so comfortable.”
The Third Prince thought to himself as he coldly looked at the three Marquis, his eyes filled with coldness.
Fan Ren and the other two’s faces were ashen, looking extremely ugly. Being scolded as old dogs in front of everyone was really too embarrassing.
“Third Highness, you…” Zheng Yuanwu wanted to return it, his face turning as red as a pig’s liver, forcefully holding it back.
Fan Ren suppressed the anger in his heart and replied, “Third Highness, don’t go too far. There are some things that can be said, but there are some things that can’t be said. On account of you being the Third Highness, the three of us can pretend that we didn’t hear it. Third Highness, please take back what you said just now.”
“Take back? What a joke. I was scolding you three old dogs, not something.”
The Third Prince didn’t show any signs of backing down, and he cursed once more.
He was furious when he saw the three of them. Originally, Fan Ren and the other two had received the favor of the Divine Emperor, and that was how they were able to achieve what they had today. However, he never imagined that they would cause trouble behind his back and try to break away from the Divine Emperor’s control, so how could it be so easy?
“Third Highness, you’ve gone overboard with your words.” Fan Ren’s gaze was extremely icy cold as he retorted, and he opposed the Third Prince.
“Overboard? No, I feel that it’s still not enough. If it wasn’t for my Imperial Father’s reward, then how could the three of you old dogs be able to achieve what you’ve achieved today? Now, you want to break away from the Divine Emperor and rule over a region by yourself? Do you think that is possible?”
The Third Prince’s face was filled with ridicule as he ridiculed and mocked them, and he didn’t show any face at all.
The expressions of the three people changed once more when they heard this, and they had extremely unsightly expressions.
The expressions of the other cultivators by the side changed as well when they saw this, and some of them even revealed expressions of understanding.
“So that’s how it is. Tsk tsk, I’ve heard that the relationship between the three marquises and the duke of Zhan Tian City isn’t shallow, and they’ve secretly colluded with each other and have close relations with each other. It seems like their words are true.”
“The rumors are actually true? The three marquises want to break away from the control of the Divine Emperor and rule over a region? Tsk tsk, what audacity!”
“This is going to be interesting. The Third Prince has come here, and it seems like he’s here to denounce us. The three marquises are in big trouble now, and there’s going to be a good show to watch.”
“What should we do?”
“We’ll just watch the show. This matter has nothing to do with us, and we’ll just have to see how the Third Prince will deal with it. After all, the old saying goes, ‘A strong dragon doesn’t crush a local snake.’ This matter isn’t so easy to deal with.”
The cultivators started to discuss among themselves, and they all looked towards the Third Prince, waiting for his next move.
After Fan Ren heard this, he exchanged glances with Zheng Yuanwu and Leng Qiu, and they reached a consensus.
After that, Fan Ren let out a long sigh and said, “Third Prince, we are sincerely loyal to Your Highness, so why must we be in such a deadlock? If it really is like that, then it wouldn’t be good for anyone, right?”
“Marquis Fan is right, we are willing to be punished and be spared from calamity. As long as Third Prince can be magnanimous and let us off, what do you say?”
Zheng Yuanwu said in a low voice.
“Third Prince, please think twice,” Leng Qiu said.
The Third Prince had a cold smile on his face, and he said indifferently, “What? Do you really think that the heavens are high and the emperor is far away, and no one can control you? Do you think that you can be at ease just because someone is supporting you from behind? Is that right?”
Fan Ren let out a cold laugh. “Third Prince, since you’ve already said this much, then I won’t hide it anymore. That’s right, we have a backer behind us, so even if you want to investigate, you won’t be able to find out anything. Stop.”
“Oh, you’re so confident?” The Third Prince’s gaze turned cold as he questioned.
“Yes, Third Prince. You know that the current Dynasty is facing both internal and external problems, and there are many problems. It’s not something that you can change with your own strength, and you can’t change anything.”
Fan Ren replied.
Hearing this, the Third Prince's pupils shrank and became even colder. That's right, what could he do by himself? Sigh, if he didn't do anything, he would feel uneasy in his heart.
That's right, he had to do something.
"Heh, if you don't do it, how can you know?" The Third Prince smiled and asked.
"Hmph, Third Prince, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. You are alone, so you can't do anything."
Fan Ren said confidently, even a bit arrogant.
Before the Third Prince came, he had already ordered to destroy the evidence and to cease all activities.
"Is that so? Let's just wait and see," the Third Prince said indifferently, unmoved.
Almost at the same time, a confrontation that happened unexpectedly was happening in the city.
In the backyard of the Fan Clan, Fan Zhui was being served by a few beautiful maids. He took a nice hot bath and sucked away the bad luck on his body, finally feeling much more comfortable.
Beside the huge bathtub, hot air was rising. A few maids who were almost half-naked were carefully wiping Fan Zhui's body and helping him to bathe. It was very considerate and enjoyable.
On the side, Fan Zhui's face was red and he was quite proud. He was moving up and down, and the sound of flushing came from the bathtub.
At this moment, footsteps came. A beautiful woman in a purple dress walked in from outside. Her expression was cold, and when she saw the absurd scene in the bathtub, her eyes became angry.
"Madam."
"Greetings, Madam."
The maids in the bathroom were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly knelt down and bowed.
This woman was called Li Ping’er, and she was one of Li Zhan’s many daughters. She was also Fan Zhui’s legal wife, and she had a very dignified bearing, and she would never go against her words.
Li Ping’er’s expression was extremely cold, and she said indifferently, "All of you can leave now."
"Yes."
"Yes, Madam."
The maids picked up the clothes that were scattered on the ground, and they fled in a flurry as if they had been granted amnesty.
Fan Zhui sighed when he saw this, and he said, "Madam, you’ve spoiled my plans again."
Li Ping’er’s beautiful eyes were filled with rage, and she scolded, "You bastard! At a time like this, you’re still thinking about such an ugly thing? Aren’t you worried at all? If the truth is exposed, and we’re caught with evidence, then we’ll all be finished."
When it came to serious matters, Fan Zhui put away his cynical appearance, and he smiled with a complacent expression. He said, "Madam, you can relax. I’ve already dealt with everything, and those people have all gone to the Underworld, and they won’t have a chance to speak again."
He was rather proud of the matter of killing people in the secret chamber, and it could be said that he had done many things in one go, and he had dealt with many troubles.
Even though it was a bit bloody and cruel, and his methods were a bit too violent, he should do things in a very special situation.
