Mu Gu nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.

"Then leave it to my wife?"

Xiao Ruge had a peaceful smile on her face, but she had already stood up as Mu Gu said, and walked closer to Qin Yanwei under his fearful gaze. He had long known that Xiao Ruge was the daughter of General Xiao, the founding general of Dalong, and must have learned martial arts since she was a child. She knew how to kill a weak civil servant like him.

Seeing that Xiao Ruge had walked up to him and was about to reach out to pull him up, Qin Yanwei immediately knew what was best for him and begged for mercy.

"I admit it! I admit it! The money used for disaster relief in Huaizhou is less than half of what is stated in the account book!"

When Qin Yanwei said this, he had already tightly protected his head with his hands.

Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu exchanged glances. What Qin Yanwei said was within their expectations, but it was not credible to say that Qin Yanwei did it alone.

Qin Yanwei is bold, but not bold enough to embezzle such a large sum of money, unless there is someone backing him up.

But Qin Yanwei is still hateful.

Perhaps because he felt that Xiao Ruge in front of him had not moved for a long time, Qin Yanwei thought that Xiao Ruge let him go because he had told the truth, so he slowly put down his hand, slowly turned his face to Xiao Ruge, and slowly raised his head.

Whoosh!

With a loud bang, Qin Yanwei rolled to the side.

Xiao Ruge's fist landed firmly on Qin Yanwei's head. Even though Xiao Ruge had just recovered from a serious illness not long ago, the power of this punch should not be underestimated. After all, he still had his strength.

Qin Yanwei was hit hard by this punch without any preparation. When he rolled to the side, his eyes were staring blankly, but he still did not faint. This shows how perfect the strength of Xiao Ruge's punch was.

Mu Gu was startled and immediately stood up and walked to Xiao Ruge. However, what he said made Qin Yanwei, who had just come to his senses, even more shocked.

"Xiao Yu'er! Why are you so impulsive?"

Xiao Ruge turned her head indifferently.

"This bastard is so hateful."

Mu Gu pulled Xiao Ruge's hand in front of his eyes and looked at it over and over again, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that there was no injury.

"Then you can't be so harsh. What if you hurt yourself?"

Qin Yanwei struggled to get up, and while enduring the buzzing in his head, he heard these words, which instantly shocked him so much that he couldn't retract his jaw.

Before Qin Yanwei could say anything, he saw Mu Gu walking up to him with a gloomy face, exuding a low aura.

"Secretary Qin, if my wife is not happy with you, you will die."

This sentence sounded like a joke, but Qin Yanwei could not see any joke on Mu Gu's face. A chill instantly rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Qin Yanwei did not care about the punch that almost broke his head. He rolled and crawled to Xiao Ruge's feet, begging desperately.

"No! Your Highness the Seventh Prince! Madam! Please spare me. I have parents and children to take care of. I cannot afford to lose my life!"

Xiao Ruge snorted coldly and kicked Qin Yanwei to the ground. Her cold eyes made Qin Yanwei tremble three times.

"You are spending the money paid by ordinary people, but why don't you think that someone will lose his life just to pay this little money?"

"When you did those things, why didn't you think about those people who paid taxes and had their families torn apart? Don't you deserve to die?"

When Xiao Ruge said this, her expression did not change much, but Mu Gu, who was standing behind Xiao Ruge, clearly saw Xiao Ruge's hands shaking constantly because of anger.

He has always known that Xiao Ruge has always cared not only about clearing her father's grievances, but more about the world.

Mu Gu thought that if Xiao Ruge was a prince, he would definitely be the most suitable candidate to become emperor.

Because she cares about the common people.

Qin Yanche was so frightened that he was stunned. Who would have thought that such a seemingly weak woman could say such heart-wrenching words? He didn't know what to say for a moment, and his heart was constantly struggling. He naturally would not regret or feel guilty for what he had done. In his understanding, if a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Why would he care about the heaven or the people? He just wanted to live a good life.

What he cares about is how to save his life under the current circumstances. He doesn't know how much the Seventh Prince and Xiao Ruge in front of him know, nor does he know how far they have investigated and how much evidence they have on him. But he knows that if he continues like this, he will definitely lose his life. The Seventh Prince obviously has a lot of say in the court. A few days ago, people said that Emperor Dalong personally met with Mu Gu. Many people speculated that something was going to change. Maybe if he told the truth and surrendered to the Seventh Prince, he would still have a chance to survive?

Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu naturally didn't know what Qin Yanwei was thinking, but they knew very well that there must be a bigger mastermind behind Qin Yanwei, and the breakthrough point was the bastard in front of them.

"Have you thought it through? What do you want to say? We're only giving you one last chance. If you want to live, seize it."

Qin Yanwei's face changed slightly. As expected, Mu Gu and the others had guessed that there was someone behind him. Qin Yanwei gritted his teeth again, looked around the door carefully, and after making sure that there was no threat for the time being, he made up his mind.

He doesn't care about so much, he just wants to live now.

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, I was actually instructed by someone to embezzle the disaster relief funds from Huaizhou... The person who instructed me to do this was..."

Whoosh!

A short arrow accurately pierced through the window and hit Qin Yanche in the face. Before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground. He lay on the ground twitching for a while, and finally there was no movement, only his eyes were still wide open.

Just as the most crucial and important joy was about to come out of Qin Yanwei's mouth, he fell alive in front of them and was killed in front of them.

Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu turned their heads almost at the same time. The dark shadow outside the door flashed by, leaving only a hole poked in the window paper.

The two of them were in perfect harmony and only chased to the door, but as expected, there was no trace at all.

He's a killer with great skills.

Xiao Ruge immediately turned around and went to Qin Yanwei who was lying on the ground in a twisted state. She reached out her hand to feel his breath, but found that there was no breath at all. Her brows instantly twisted together.

"died."

Mu Gu took a quick glance and saw that Qin Yanche had no chance of survival as the crossbow arrow had hit him right on the forehead at such a close distance.

"That's not just any killer."

Xiao Ruge wiped her hands, slowly stood up and looked at Mu Gu.

Mu Gu didn't say anything, but just whistled outside the door, and the phantom-like person appeared beside them.

"Go and inform the Dali Temple."

"Yes."
