I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 348 Go and report it, it was Liu Ju who killed Jiang Chong!
Looking at Jiang Chong's frightened face, Liu Ju's eyes recalled Ji Ping's voice and smile.

Since the day he moved into Bowang Garden, Ji Ping has been his subordinate.

Although he was an official, Ji Ping was more like a kind elder most of the time, taking care of all the trivial matters in Bowang Garden, from his every meal to his every piece of clothing. He was in charge of all the servants and slaves, and everything was handled in an orderly manner. There was never any impression of omissions.

I still remember the last time he was thrown into the imperial prison, when he was released from prison, a group of servants who had resigned out of fear made trouble in front of the mansion.

Ji Ping rarely put on airs and had a soft heart. For a moment, he couldn't bear to drive these people away. Liu Ju only asked him one question at that time, "Can I still trust you?", which made Ji Ping so frightened that he beat those servants away with sticks.

Afterwards, Liu Ju even regretted whether his words had been too harsh.

Shouldn't we let Guo Zhen do this instead of making things difficult for Ji Ping, the good guy?

Although he knew in his heart that as his subordinate, it was undoubtedly a big taboo for him to push this problem onto himself.

But because of his understanding of Ji Ping, Liu Ju could not get really angry with him. He would unconsciously try to understand and forgive this old man who had served him for more than ten years, because he was just that kind of person, and that was his character...

"Have a safe journey, Mr. Ji. You should not have gone far yet. You still have time to receive Jiang Chong's confession!"

Liu Ju gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and turned it hard.

"what--!"

The sharp blade of the sword stirred in his chest, and Jiang Chong couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching scream.

A large amount of blood immediately gushed out of the wound. Although Jiang Chong tried hard to cover it up due to his desire to survive, he could not stop the loss of life.

He couldn't even hold out for two breaths. His face and exposed skin turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. He collapsed completely to the ground, with only outgoing air coming out of his mouth, and no incoming air at all.

However, his eyes were still wide open, staring at Liu Ju.

There was an extremely complicated look in those eyes, and when combined with the distorted face, it could still be summed up in just four words - surprise, fear, suspicion, and shock.

He probably never thought that he would die like this.

At the height of its glory.

When the emperor favored her very much.

When all the princes and nobles in Chang'an depended on him.

When no one in the court dared to speak publicly.

Just like a stray dog, he was stabbed to death in the street by the current prince.

Until the moment his consciousness completely dissipated, he still didn't understand why Liu Ju dared to do such a bold thing.

Doesn't he know that he is the emperor's personal choice?

He was ordered by the emperor to arrest thieves in the three prefectures and monitor the usurpation of the rich and powerful. He even beat up people from the prince's mansion and confiscated its horses and carriages. The emperor only said, "A minister should be like this." Didn't the prince understand what this meant at all?

If the prince kills him, he will be an enemy of the emperor and a slap in the face of the emperor!

Especially at this critical juncture, he is still condoning the thieves in the Three Prefectures and colluding with the wealthy and powerful people whom the emperor has decided to restrain. Is this something the emperor can tolerate?

Even if the emperor still has expectations and favor for this prince, I'm afraid he must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others when faced with this matter, right?
Otherwise, where is the imperial power and the emperor’s majesty?

Could it be that this prince... has no idea what stupid thing he has done?

……

at last.

With Jiang Chong's final scream, everyone's petrified brains gradually began to function.

"This……"

The Northern Army's generals and soldiers still stared with their eyes wide open, feeling inexplicably complicated and embarrassed. Who am I?
where am I?
I should do something now, but what should I do?

"This……"

The detained prisoners began to gasp for breath, and some were already suffering from lack of oxygen.

They had always believed that it was impossible for a person to suffocate himself to death, but it turned out that was because they had never seen the prince before and had never encountered anything that could scare them to the point of forgetting to breathe!

Then he saw Jiang Chong, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, with no sign of life left.

A feeling of gloating and extreme comfort gradually rose from the depths of my heart... As expected, evildoers will be punished by evildoers, this is the way the world is, so what if the embroidered clothes point directly at me?

"This……"

The passers-by looked at Liu Ju with awe gradually filling their eyes, and then they seemed to suddenly turn around, quicken their pace and walk away, and finally even ran.

Is this the prince?

A few days ago, Jiang Chong seized the prince's carriages and horses and whipped the prince's secretary in the street.

The first thing the prince did when he came back was to stab Jiang Chong to death in the street. This was not an eye for an eye, but blood for a tooth. Where in the world could there be such a fierce prince?!
Spread the word, the prince killed someone in the street, I saw it with my own eyes, I am a witness, I will engrave this incident on my tombstone!
"This……"

Guo Zhen and the twenty princes who were hit by the shield also came to their senses, but the way they looked at Liu Ju had quietly changed dramatically.

Before they came, they had already vaguely guessed what would happen.

Some people were even determined to die, and only asked Liu Ju to assassinate Jiang Chong on their behalf. After Liu Ju took responsibility for the matter, he would be able to take good care of their families.

After all, Jiang Chong was now extremely popular in the eyes of the emperor. Stabbing Jiang Chong to death in the street was no small matter. Even if there was no river of blood when the emperor investigated, the people involved would not be able to escape death.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ju didn't need them to do anything for him at all.

He actually took action himself, leaving no room for the enemy to escape, and killed with one strike!

What exactly is Liu Ju thinking now? What will he do next? How can he properly handle this matter? How can he withstand the emperor's wrath...

Will the sky of Bowang Garden collapse?
"Shh!"

In front of everyone, Liu Ju pulled out the sword that was stuck in Jiang Chong's chest, rubbed it twice on Jiang Chong's fluttering moth-like cicada clothes, and put the sword back into the sheath.

After doing all this, he glanced sideways at the Northern Army soldiers standing beside him.

"!"

The Northern Army soldiers subconsciously took a step back, and no one dared to meet Liu Ju's gaze.

"Don't be embarrassed, don't panic, do your duty and go report that Liu Ju was the one who killed Jiang Chong."

Liu Ju grinned and nodded to the soldiers, speaking calmly.

"……promise!"

The leading general trembled and immediately knelt on one knee to salute.

The prince who was so calm after killing someone was even more awe-inspiring than the prince in the previous rumors... They couldn't help but think of a person, an old friend that all the Han men could only look up to.

——Grand Marshal and General of Cavalry, Huo Qubing!

Li Gan injured General Wei Qing. No matter who you are, let alone the consequences, I will kill you!
Jiang Chong seized the prince's carriages and horses and whipped the prince's secretary.

I, Liu Ju, will also kill you. I will kill you when we return to the capital!

Compared to this, it is actually Crown Prince Liu Ju who is more frightening. He ignores the cause, timing, occasion, means... completely!
