The Jade King was horrified when he saw this, "Don't force me, little rabbit. You know I don't want to hurt you..."

As he spoke, he placed the knife across Xiao Tu's neck. "Of course, the prerequisite is that you tell me what you said to Li Mingshan."

Early morning, inside the Imperial Palace.

In the palace with carved beams and painted rafters, officials dressed in solemn court robes were discussing in the main hall. Until they heard the announcement, they all turned around at the same time and looked at the man who was respectfully surrounded by people.

He had long legs and big steps, and was wearing a gorgeous robe made of shimmering brocade that silently dragged on the ground, forming extremely gorgeous patterns.

As this eerie dark red figure approached, a gloomy atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire place, and the air was filled with oppression.

Everyone immediately stood up and saluted, their expressions becoming cautious.

Ning Cuo strode to the throne, threw off his robe and sat down, and said sneerily, "Since you have brought the trouble to me, then tell me everything."

One of the ministers immediately said, "Governor, the heavy rain in Guangdong and Guangxi caused the river water to backflow, and Jing Wenxiu concealed the truth and did not report it, causing the people to riot in anger. Many people have died, and he deserves to die."

Ning Cuo was too lazy to raise his narrow eyes, and said in a cold voice, "He deserves to die. I will have his head hung on the city gate tower and never taken down to vent the people's grievances."

The officials couldn't help but take a deep breath when they heard this. This was truly being nailed to the pillar of shame, with no chance of coming down for the rest of their lives.

Ning Cuo's eyebrows were dull, and his lips curved into a curve as he said, "Jing Wenxiu is dead, but the mess in the two Guangxi provinces needs someone to take over. Tell me, who among you is willing to go?"

All the officials were silent after hearing this.

The so-called officials forcing the people to rebel, it is said to be a mess, this is truly a mess!

As the officials were discussing the matter, Ji Qinghe stepped out and said, "I am willing to give it a try."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him and thought to themselves, this old fox is so impatient! He didn't see that the governor's confidants were about to speak, but he got there first.

Ji Qinghe was really decisive. He said he would join the team, but he was not vague at all and took the responsibility of this matter directly.

But if things are done well, it will be a token of loyalty and a great achievement. This old fox is indeed very smart!

Ning Cuo didn't even pause when he heard this and said, "Give him the title of Imperial Envoy, grant him the Imperial Sword, and lead 10,000 elite soldiers. If anyone disobeys orders in the local area, kill them all."

Ji Qinghe bowed, "Your subordinate obeys your command!"

Ji Qinghe retreated quickly, and all the officials scratched their noses silently. Governor Ning was still so murderous.

Ning Cuo's voice continued, "Now let's talk about the dikes in Guangdong and Guangxi. They were built in just two years and cost hundreds of thousands of silver dollars. But they collapsed in a rainstorm. Are your dikes made of paper?"

The casual and cold voice also brought out a hint of sexiness, but it made people feel as if their throat was cut by a sharp blade.

Everyone held their breath as they saw the man turning the jewel ring on his finger. His slowly raised overly enchanting brows were filled with a bone-chilling smile, and everyone in the hall began to tremble with laughter.

Ning Cuo opened his red lips slowly and said, "Ministry of Industry."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Works knelt on the ground with a plop, his face pale as he wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Please forgive me, Governor. Please forgive me, Governor. I really didn't know about the construction of the two dikes. The supervisor at that time was the left prime minister's men. I was..."

As they were talking here, a secret guard figure quickly appeared.
