Defying the sky

Chapter 139 The Shameless Prince
"Yuan Viscount?" Ao Yang repeated, in his impression, there seems to be no Viscount surnamed Yuan.

"Yes, it's Viscount Yuan. I heard that he was appointed by His Majesty shortly before I took over. He also opened a restaurant called Tiantian Restaurant, and Viscount Yuan's residence is also there." Shi Qian explained.

"Heavenly Restaurant, Yuan Kai!" Suddenly, Ao Yang raised his voice and turned his gaze to Han Fengxue.

Han Fengxue was also puzzled, with the current prince Ao Yunxing protecting him, who would dare to touch Yuan Kai, and looked at Shi Qian: "Commander Shi, do you know who is going to deal with him?"

When Shi Qian saw Han Fengxue, there was a trace of respect in his eyes. He had seen Han Fengxue's abnormality with his own eyes. Becoming the commander also respects Han Fengxue, a young man from the bottom of his heart. He shook his head and said, "Young Master Han, I don't know too well, but according to the person who reported the letter, the other party is very powerful and the situation is very critical." .”

After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes to look at Ao Yang: "His Royal Highness, the situation is urgent, please forgive me for being rude first."

Ao Yang nodded, and everyone stepped aside, and the sound of horseshoes gradually faded away.

Everyone was silent. Except for a few people, almost all of them knew about Han Fengxue and Yuan Mengyao, so they couldn't help but look at Han Fengxue.

Han Fengxue frowned tightly, with a light of thought in his eyes, and after a while, he said, "Go and see!" After experiencing so many things, he has gradually completely forgotten Yuan Mengyao, but in his heart , still has hatred for Ao Yunxing and Yuan Mengyao, but it is far less intense than before. Hearing that something happened to Yuan Mengyao's house, he still couldn't help but want to go and have a look. He didn't understand what kind of contradiction it was. psychology.

When everyone saw Han Fengxue open his mouth, they didn't say anything. The Tiantang Restaurant was only a short distance away, and they arrived in a short time.

Outside the restaurant at this moment, there are scattered crowds of spectators in the wide open space. Inside the crowd, there are many soldiers, which are the troops brought by Shi Qian. Further on, there are several corpses lying on the ground. Next to the corpse, there are some people dressed as family guards. There are probably hundreds of people. In the middle of the crowd stands a middle-aged man of four to fifty years old, with a middle-aged Chinese character face and a tall and thin figure. There was a hint of displeasure on his face, and wherever his eyes fell, it was Shi Qian.

But Han Fengxue's gaze instantly reached the back of the middle-aged man, where Yuan Kai had a pale face with a fierce but powerless expression, and Yuan Mengyao was two steps behind him, her little face no longer had a trace of blood , eyes full of horror and fear.

"Duke Casey!" Ao Yang looked at the young and middle-aged man and said, the person who dealt with Yuan Kai was actually a Duke, no wonder he asked the city guards for help.

Kai Xi drove Shi Qian and said displeasedly: "Commander Shi, this is a private matter between me and Yuan Kai, I hope you don't ask me, I will thank you very much in the future!"

Although Shi Qian was only granted the title of earl, much lower than his duke, the identity of the commander of the city guards is different. He has an army in his hands. Xi is not an ordinary duke, he also has another identity, the financial commander, the financial power to manage the empire, even if you have an army in your hands, you still need money to support you, and if you offend Casey, he can make your life difficult in the future. It's been great.

Shi Qian had no expression on his face, and just said indifferently: "Master Duke, it seems inappropriate for you to do something to the viscount of the empire without permission!"

Casey curled her lips in disdain: "It's just a viscount. Don't worry, Commander Shi. If you kill this kind of person, you will kill him. Your Majesty is busy with business, and has no time to care about the life and death of a viscount or earl." It's very clear, isn't it the Viscount? It's impossible for His Majesty not to know that I killed him, but so what if he knows, he will never embarrass an important minister like me. If you want to take care of it, you'd better weigh yourself first. power.

Casey dares to say this, and he does have his confidence. He has worked in the Finance Department for 20 years, and he became the commander ten years ago. His influence in the Finance Department has been deeply rooted. The huge empire is growing every day Expenditures are astronomical. If there is a problem with his financial commander, it is not enough to send someone casually to take over. The entire empire's finances may be temporarily paralyzed. Before the emperor is fully prepared to find someone to take over, he must It is impossible to move him, but the commander of the city guards is different. Shi Qian has only been in office for a month, and he has no influence in the army at all. His Majesty wants to replace him. Anyone with a discerning eye can see who is weak.

Shi Qian was silent, not because he was afraid of Casey. As a soldier who put the interests of the empire first, if Casey did something harmful to the interests of the empire, he would not hesitate to intervene, but at this moment he thought of other places, Yuan Kai is just a powerless viscount and a businessman. Abandoning him will not cause any loss to the empire, but if he fights with Casey, there may be serious consequences, and it may even become a political issue. In the officialdom, what to do A good official does not mean being upright and honest, but about handling things smoothly and looking at problems. Many famous officials in history have stepped on the corpses of many people to climb to the top. At critical moments, for Fighting for greater interests often requires some sacrifices. Shi Qian doesn't think he is an upright and honest official, but he wants to be a good one.But if he gave up Yuan Kai, he would feel uneasy in his conscience, and it would be difficult for him to make a decision for a while.

Seeing that Shi Qian was silent, Casey was not in a hurry. He believed that as long as Shi Qian was smart enough, he would make the most correct choice.

He was not in a hurry, but Yuan Kai was in a hurry, and he said excitedly: "Commander Shi, you don't know how shameless Kai Xi is, his son has taken a fancy to my Mengyao, so he insists on letting my daughter Being his son's concubine, my daughter and I disagree, he just wants to kill me first, and then take my daughter away, how can you tell me to bear it. Commander Shi, you know, my daughter is the third prince His girlfriend, what is that bastard son of his, Casey, at this time, it is only because I can't inform the third prince, otherwise, he, Casey, would dare to be so arrogant."

As if she didn't hear him, Casey didn't respond at all.

Shi Qian was startled at first, but then he was relieved. It sounds nice. The girlfriend of the third prince, with the ability of Kathy to climb up to the finance department, must be very outstanding in scheming and strategy. How could he not even investigate this point? When he knew it, he came to snatch people at the door. Since he dared to come, he was undoubtedly confident.

Shi Qian could think of it, could Yuan Kai not think of it, but what could he do? Yuan Mengyao hadn't seen Ao Yunxing for nearly a month, and Ao Yunxing didn't say anything to get rid of Yuan Mengyao. Even though he thought that he might have been betrayed by Ao Yunxing, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that everything was just his random guess.

Ao Yang and Han Fengxue were thinking about something at the back of the crowd. In Han Fengxue's heart, although she was very disdainful and even a little angry at Kai Xi's behavior, Yuan Kai asked for it. My daughter became a ladder for me to climb up the high branches, but I didn't expect such an ending. Deep in Han Fengxue's heart, there was a feeling of resolving hatred. This is not the so-called karma cycle. Yuan Mengyao designed it back then. Playing with him, but at this time also being played by others.

Just when everyone was silent, a few voices came from the side: "Get out of the way, get out of the way..."

The crowd separated from the middle, and a small group of people walked into the arena. Yuan Kai's face instantly became agitated when he saw the person coming, and his pale complexion immediately became flushed, as if a person in despair had seen a glimmer of light, and was excited. Said: "His Royal Highness, Third Prince!"

Yuan Mengyao's eyes also erupted, as if she regained her courage in an instant, and took two steps forward.

Shi Qian was a little puzzled, could he have guessed wrong, but that was almost impossible.

Casey's gaze remained unchanged, and he walked up to Ao Yunxing and said respectfully, "Your Highness!"

Shi Qian and all the soldiers also shouted in unison respectfully: "Your Highness!"

Ao Yunxing nodded indifferently, and said to Casey: "Duke Casey, Commander Shi, what are you doing!"

Shi Qian said: "Your Highness, the matter is like this." So he briefly explained what happened, especially at the end, he deliberately emphasized that Yuan Kai said that you have something to do with his daughter.

Just as Shi Qian finished speaking, Yuan Mengyao ran up, looked at Ao Yunxing pitifully and said, "Yunxing, those two bastards, Casey and Kyle, said they want to arrest me..., arrest me to be Kyle My little concubine." After speaking, she couldn't help sobbing in a low voice.

But after hearing her words, Ao Yunxing didn't show any anger at all, and seemed indifferent, as if he had nothing to do with him, he said gently to Casey: "Duke Casey, is that so?"

Casey smiled nonchalantly, and replied: "Your Highness, Xiao Er is stubborn, and fell in love with this Miss Yuan Mengyao, but I didn't expect that the father and daughter of the two of them would not know how to flatter you. Please, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

This speech made everyone a little speechless, and people couldn't help but want to scold: "His grandma is really arrogant!"

Yuan Mengyao felt even more aggrieved when she heard his words, her tears kept streaming down, and she cried, "Yun Xing, did you hear that?"

A beautiful woman crying and acting coquettish makes people feel a little moved, but Ao Yunxing's eyes did not change at all, he turned to Yuan Mengyao and said: "Miss Yuan, you are wrong, since Master Kyle has taken a fancy to you, it is also yours." Fufu, how can you and your father refuse others." Then he turned to Shi Qian and said, "Commander Shi, let them solve these matters by themselves, you are also busy with work, so I won't bother you here, I Here, I believe things can be resolved peacefully."

After Ao Yunxing finished speaking, except for Casey who showed a triumphant smile, everyone else froze there. They had seen shameless, but never seen such shameless, and he was a shameless prince.

Now everyone understands that Ao Yunxing didn't show up sooner or later, and he happened to show up after Shi Qian arrived. Then, he definitely didn't have nothing to do when he came here, but of course it wasn't to help Yuan Mengyao and the others, but Fearing that Shi Qian is an upright person, he deliberately came to drive him away.

Even though Shi Qian was somewhat prepared, he was still frightened by Ao Yunxing's words. This prince must be too talented, and Yuan Kai's face was as ugly as it could be.

The worst one was of course Yuan Mengyao. At this moment, his face that had just recovered some rosiness instantly turned paler, his eyes were dull, and he looked at Ao Yunxing in front of him, as if he didn't know him again. At this moment, my heart was being torn apart by knives, like the torture of hell.

Although Han Fengxue and Ao Yang knew that Ao Yunxing would use all means to achieve his goals, they still did not expect him to reach such a shameless level.

After the Battle of the Xiaoyao King, the emperor favored Ao Yang even more, and let him do all the big and small things, while he was completely left out in the cold. The sense of crisis overwhelmed him. Minister, and Casey is undoubtedly a very important role.

"Commander Shi, is there anything else you need?" Ao Yunxing urged seeing that Shi Qian was not moving.

When he came back to his senses, Shi Qian sighed in his heart, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this subordinate will leave now." After speaking, he turned around and was about to lead the team away, but at this moment, he saw a young man in front of him Walking this way, he said coldly, "He's fine, I'm fine."

It was Han Fengxue who spoke. Although he also had hatred for Yuan Mengyao, he really couldn't bear to see Ao Yunxing's behavior. It was shameless to the extreme. He also understood that the reason why Yuan Mengyao played with his feelings was also Ao Yunxing's hand. Just now, he suddenly discovered that Yuan Mengyao is actually a very poor woman. She was in her prime and could have a good relationship, but fell in love with someone she shouldn't like, and completely became someone else's plaything. , give and give away like things.

The sudden sound made everyone's eyes focus on it. Ao Yunxing saw Han Fengxue approaching, and his face became very ugly. He didn't expect that Han Fengxue was also here, and came out to interfere , if he interferes, it will be really difficult for him to handle, the current Han Fengxue can completely walk sideways in the imperial capital.

Seeing that it was Han Fengxue who came, Yuan Mengyao froze there, and looked at him with complicated eyes, filled with guilt, remorse, and indescribable emotions. Han Fengxue's reputation is in full swing, and Xuefeng's name is naturally long gone. It was heard in her ears, and she thought of Han Fengxue's meticulous care of her back then, but what she set up was a complete conspiracy, a conspiracy to kill the other party.Especially now that he saw Ao Yunxing's true face, he realized that Han Fengxue was so outstanding, but she knew that she and Han Fengxue were already of two classes. With Han Fengxue's current worth, perhaps Ao Yunxing can't compare.
