Dragon's Origin

Actually, when they made this decision, whether it was the Emperor, Eunuch Li, or the legendary expert, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Killing Wang Sheng was easy. With so many experts swarming him, there would definitely be no problem. However, the price to pay would probably be more than just a little. Once the poisonous gas bombs that could kill hundreds of thousands of people were used, probably as many people who attacked would die.

This was only if they were sure they could perish together with Wang Sheng in a remote place. If Wang Sheng escaped again, could the Emperor still live in the imperial city? Would he dare to?

As for the possibility of Wang Sheng escaping, when he was just a nobody, how many experts chased him without success? Now that his cultivation is higher, would his ability to escape be worse?

After figuring this out, the three of them felt relieved. After all, Wang Sheng later said that it was just a matter of some property, so why make it so irreconcilable?

In addition, Wang Sheng also said that the Emperor was definitely unaware and was being deceived, and that the evildoers were those royal and court scoundrels. He even took the initiative to exonerate the Emperor, which clearly showed that he didn't want to fall out with the royal family. In that case, why force Wang Sheng to the point of desperation?

Thinking about which families that had done this before didn't regret it now? Since the royal family was the first to show goodwill to Wang Sheng, why let that goodwill disappear because of a few important officials and their children who didn't take the Emperor seriously? Plus a prince?

"Tomorrow, you go and handle it," the Emperor gave Eunuch Li an imperial order to handle the matter, finally making a real decision.

The next morning, Wang Sheng was still having breakfast in the inn when Eunuch Li came to his door.

Eunuch Li, in his full Grand Eunuch robe, appeared swaggeringly in the inn's lobby, causing everyone who saw him to be dumbfounded.

"You came to the capital but didn't come to see me, you're being too distant, Marquis!" Eunuch Li walked up to Wang Sheng, who was having breakfast with Uncle Liu and several other shopkeepers, and bowed slightly to Wang Sheng. The old eunuch's title was not as high as Wang Sheng's, so it was right for him to bow.

"Ah, I wouldn't dare!" Wang Sheng replied with a smile, "Who knows if what you said before was true or false, and if you still acknowledge it now?"

"I already know about yesterday's matter," Eunuch Li didn't mind the thorns in Wang Sheng's tone at all, and still said with a smile, "I have already reported it to His Majesty and have come to give you an explanation today."

"An explanation, good!" Wang Sheng smiled, finished his meal, and got up to leave with the old eunuch.

The female boss didn't know where she came from, but silently followed behind Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng didn't say anything, and Eunuch Li naturally wouldn't say anything either. In the information he knew, Wang Sheng arrived at the Marquis's mansion with the masked woman yesterday.

However, just after glancing at the masked woman, only seeing her eyes, Eunuch Li's heart suddenly stirred, as if he had thought of something. But Eunuch Li was such a shrewd person that even if a mountain collapsed in his heart, others wouldn't be able to see it on his face.

As soon as they left the inn, Wang Sheng and the female boss saw a group of guards and several young eunuchs. They were all wearing formal official uniforms. When they saw Eunuch Li coming out, they all bowed. After saluting, they stepped forward to protect the three of them. Then, guards immediately led over three steeds.

Wang Sheng had no problem riding a horse. He had received training in this area on Earth, and his horsemanship was quite good. But the female boss didn't know. Wang Sheng turned to look at the female boss, but saw the female boss flipping onto the horse in a very pleasing posture, her movements so skilled that it was a mess.

Under the escort of the guards, the three of them passed through the streets and alleys. In less than an hour, they came to the street where they had gone to the Marquis's mansion yesterday again.

Unlike the empty street yesterday, today's street was exceptionally lively, with people filling the entire street. However, apart from a few cries, there were no other sounds.

A large number of Imperial Guards soldiers surrounded the area tightly, but no one made a sound. All those making sounds were the people kneeling on the ground. There were men, women, old and young, a large group crowded the street, numbering two or three hundred people.

This was the scene that Wang Sheng and the female boss saw. The female boss's eyes were full of surprise, as if she had never seen such a scene before. Although Wang Sheng had never seen it either, he had seen many historical dramas and could feel the murderous aura on the Imperial Guards soldiers around him.

Eunuch Li was planning to kill people to give him an explanation. Wang Sheng smiled in his heart. It seemed that yesterday's intimidation had a certain effect, but the Emperor didn't send the old monster to kill him, which was a bit surprising. Shouldn't he completely kill and eliminate the trouble of someone like him who was out of control?

"These people are the family members of those who occupied the Marquis's mansion," Eunuch Li looked at these crying people and introduced to Wang Sheng, "Those who occupied the Marquis's mansion, disrespected the Emperor, defied the imperial decree, and deceived those above them, have been taken down by the Emperor's decree. They will be executed immediately as a warning to others."

"Bring the principal offenders up!" Eunuch Li suddenly sighed and waved his hand to give the order.

Someone agreed, and in a short while, ten people were escorted over and pressed to the ground.

"His Highness the Seventh Prince, a Grand Tutor, a Grand Preceptor, and two others are also important officials in the court. Their children bewitched His Highness the Seventh Prince and did the thing of occupying the nest yesterday," Eunuch Li introduced the ten people below in a seemingly casual manner.

The young man in the very center, presumably His Highness the Seventh Prince, was shaking like a sieve at the moment. The four people who looked to be around fifty or sixty years old were probably the four ministers. The other four young people should be their offending children, and one more was actually the steward who stood at the door yesterday and赖掉了 Wang Sheng's golden token.

Those who plotted against him actually included a prince. Interesting! However, the Emperor was actually willing to sacrifice his own son, just like that, tying him here and waiting for the execution. He had the courage. Wang Sheng couldn't help but say the word 'admire' in his heart.

Someone next to him walked over with a tray in both hands and presented it to Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li uncovered the cloth on it, but it was the Changsheng Marquis golden token that Wang Sheng had been taken away yesterday.

"The Marquis's things, returned to their original owner," Eunuch Li held the golden token in both hands and sent it to Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng naturally took it in his hand and waited for Eunuch Li's next move.

"The Emperor has an order, among these people, the Marquis can choose one to pardon," Eunuch Li then laughed, "The rest will all be executed to give the Marquis an explanation."
