Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Let's not wait and see. We will set up defenses on the outside. Once we enter the range, we will arrest them directly."

Ning Fan made a prompt decision.

When midnight was approaching, Ning Fan's eyelids were shaking when he was shaken awake by Ling Sheng.

"Your Highness, here you come."

Ling Sheng had a smile hidden in his eyes.

Ning Fan suddenly became energetic. Under the moonlight, a dozen men in black were quietly approaching the dungeon, carrying firewood and kerosene in their hands.

The weather is dry and everything is dry. If these people really succeed, I'm afraid not a single one of the hundreds of people in the dungeon will be alive.

As long as a fire is lit at the entrance, everyone will be suffocated to death, including a dozen government officials.

"Your Highness, if you hadn't reminded us, we would have suffered a big loss today."

Ling Sheng pulled out the Hundred Forged Sword from his waist, and his whole body became murderous.

Boom!

The bowstring vibrated, and the man in black fell to the ground.

A round of arrows rained down, and there were five people standing.

These five people reacted very quickly, dropped what they were holding, turned around and left.

Unfortunately, dragnets were set up in several nearby alleys and intersections, and these people couldn't get out at all.

However, several men in black were extremely ferocious. Seeing that they were surrounded, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they fought back with knives.

More than a dozen government officials were cut down in half in one encounter.

All of them were killed directly by cutting their throats with one knife.

"Your Highness, please be safe. I'll go down and help."

Ling Sheng's eyes turned red when he saw his friend being killed, and he went downstairs with a knife.

Ning Fan looked at the guards around him and slowly pulled out the long sword from his waist: "Everyone, this is not the time to watch a show. We have to go up and help."

"Your Highness, you must not!"

Ergou was the first to object and grabbed Ning Fan's arm.

"Step aside."

Ning Fan looked grim and determined to kill.

In the era of cold weapons, people's fighting power was indeed very strong, but Ning Fan's fighting skills were not bad either. He had been specially trained.

Seeing Ning Fan holding his sword and going down, several guards also drew their weapons and guarded Ning Fan in the middle.

Ning Fan guessed the methods of these people, but he did not guess that the combat effectiveness of these government servants was so weak.

With one charge, the formation of the government officials was scattered.

The sharp sword light shone coldly in the dark night, reflecting a few pairs of fearful eyes.

Even Ling Sheng's joining could not reverse the situation. The government officials were no match for these gangsters.

Pfft!

A government officer's arm was cut off at the wrist, and blood spurted out.

When Ning Fan saw this bloody scene, instead of being afraid, he rushed forward.

The distance was no more than five meters, and Ning Fan could even see the excitement and contempt in the other person's eyes.

The bright sword light fell again, but this time Ning Fan made the other party a little stunned.

Ning Fan's dodge skills were unprecedented, and his combat skills were so efficient that there was no unnecessary movement at all.

Turn around and pick up the sword.

The other party only felt a cold feeling on his wrist. When he could no longer feel the pain, his wrist and the knife in his hand fell directly to the ground.

When Ling Sheng, who was fighting fiercely on the side, saw this scene, his jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock.

He didn't expect that Ning Fan, who seemed weak, could be so powerful in combat.

In one face-to-face meeting, the opponent's leader was directly eliminated.

Several gangsters who were working together suddenly encountered unprecedented resistance. Ning Fan beheaded their leader, causing morale to drop.

Coupled with the vigorous participation of the five Baizhan guards around Ning Fan, the arrogance of several gangsters was forcibly suppressed.

The few surviving government servants were eager to be rewarded, and their fighting power far exceeded their usual level.

The situation suddenly turned around. Several gangsters retreated steadily and had no choice but to escape into a dead end.

Anna saw no way out. The gangsters looked at each other and seemed to have made some kind of decision.

Ning Fan had quick eyesight and quick hands. He rushed forward and knocked down a person, then thrust his sword directly into the opponent's mouth and stirred it up.

"They need to take the poison, don't shut them up."

Ning Fan shouted.

Ling Sheng also reacted, threw himself down on a person, and held down the other person's mouth so hard that the other person's back molars could not be closed at all.

After a while, several government officials found something and stuffed it into each other's mouths, then took out the poison sacs that had been hidden in advance.

Except for the gangsters who were shot in the first round, there were a total of five gangsters left. Three committed suicide, leaving two alive.

On the Shuntian Mansion side, a fierce battle resulted in the loss of seven government officials, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

However, everything is worth it. As long as you catch him alive, you won't be afraid of not being able to find out the behind-the-scenes instructions.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, several of our usually good brothers have died in the hands of these bastards. I will let them taste the taste of real punishment."

In the dungeon of Shuntian Mansion, the two survivors were tied up and all their teeth were pulled out for safety reasons.

These people's knives, daggers and other personal belongings were all placed on the table in front of Ning Fan.

Looking at these well-made weapons, Ning Fan had a sneer on his face.

Generally, the weapons issued by the imperial court are marked, but the marks on these weapons have all been artificially rubbed off. It is obvious that the other party is very cautious and does not want to reveal their identity.

However, the other party probably did not expect that there would be survivors left.

Two hours later, Ling Sheng walked out, holding a bloody confession in his hand.

After reading the signed confession, Ning Fan was very satisfied.

All the previous guesses were correct, and the person behind all this was Prince Ning Qing.

"This matter must be kept secret."

Ning Fan didn't say much and walked out of the dungeon with his confession.

When they came outside, it was almost dawn. Ning Fan simply went back to wash his face and change clothes before preparing to enter the palace.

"Your Highness, with this thing, you still can't bring down the prince! Even if the prince falls, the only one who benefits now is the fourth prince!"

Ergou analyzed Ning Fan while adjusting his sleeves.

Ning Fan was surprised. He didn't expect Ergou to understand it so deeply. This coincided with his thoughts.

Don't fight for it!

Ning Fan could not just stay out of this fight for the right to inherit the throne.

Either, pretend to be crazy or act like a fool, or be a dog to the Crown Prince or the Fourth Prince, neither of which Ning Fan can do.

If he wants to stand up and be a human being, he must fight, otherwise he will seek death.

"Don't worry, when Rong meets my father later, I will show a deep brotherly love. I will even intercede for the prince."

Ning Fan sneered.

After hearing Ning Fan's words, Ergou also sighed: "Who asked you, Your Highness, to be born in an emperor's family? You may never be able to experience the scene in an ordinary family of a father, a loving son, a filial brother, and a respectful brother. You may not be able to experience it in your lifetime! The most ruthless thing is This has been true of the imperial family since ancient times."
