It is not easy to join the Fifth Prince now.

Ever since a counselor named Yan Zheng appeared next to Chu Huai'an, the fifth prince now seems to have changed his temper. He no longer says nice things to them, and even assigns tasks for them every time.

If he fails to do it, he will never have the chance to work by Chu Huai'an's side.

They had no chance of saying no.

The handle of these people is in Chu Huaian's hands. They have no chance to escape or resist. Once they find out that someone suddenly changes their camp, the handle in Chu Huaian's hand will be a sharp weapon to kill them.

Unable to resist, he could only do things for Chu Huai'an, and Chu Huai'an used the handle as a kite string to control them.

Who doesn't know that saying these things in front of Chu Chengye is a serious crime of beheading, but those high-ranking officials are unwilling to do it, so it has to be his turn.

The entire Xu family, young and old, were all held in the palm of Chu Huai'an's hands. Chu Huai'an said that even if he failed to bring down the Cheng family and made Chu Chengye furious, he would still be considered as having made a great contribution.

As long as he succeeded, even if he died, Chu Huaian promised to take good care of their family.

Anyway, if he was exposed by what Chu Huai'an knew, it would be a capital crime for everyone to be executed, so he might as well risk his life and fight for his family.

Chu Chengye in front of him has been silent, and the hall is silent. Standing opposite is Chu Chengye, and Mr. Xu feels that his heart is about to jump out.

Silence is the sound of death.

The official kowtowed tremblingly and said, "Even if the emperor wants to execute me today, I still have to say that what I did is for the sake of the country and the country of Southern Qi to last forever. I will not hesitate to die."

"Okay!" Chu Chengye suddenly said, laughed twice, and met Mr. Xu's eyes.

"You're willing to die, don't you want to die? I will make it happen for you."

As he spoke, Chu Chengye raised his hand and drew the long sword on the table without hesitation.

The collision sound of the sword coming out of the body seemed to have been placed on Mr. Xu's neck. He swallowed his saliva. Although it was not the twelfth lunar month of winter, his body seemed to be frozen and unable to move.

Chu Chengye turned around and put the knife on Mr. Xu's neck. He casually used the tip of the sword to pick at the clothes on the man's neck, trying to make the skin of Mr. Xu's neck leak out.

After Chu Chengye's neck was cut open with the sword, the distance between the sword and Mr. Xu was not even an inch. Mr. Xu still did not dare to raise his head, and he looked like he was going to die calmly.

The adults were sweating heavily and hitting the ground one by one, and even the body kneeling on the ground was trembling slightly.

It can be seen that Master Xu doesn't want to die that much.

Chu Chengye stared closely at the sword at Mr. Xu's neck. His voice was calm, but it carried an indescribable sense of oppression and coercion.

Chu Chengye said softly: "I will give you another chance. What should I say? I hope you will think about it again."

Mr. Xu still did not raise his head. He trembled and said: "I will say it again, and it will be exactly the same as before."

Chu Chengye chuckled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "If you don't want your tongue, it's best to have it removed."

"If you really want to die, I will make it happen."

Chu Chengye could probably tell that Xu Ya came with a mission, a mission to bring down the Cheng family and make him angry.

Chu Chengye prides himself on never being a good-tempered person, and everyone in the government knows this since he first came to the throne.

Chu Chengye had previously thought about the importance of employing people in governing the country. He thought that they were all important officials of the previous dynasty, so he respected and obeyed them. Now that Cheng Jin is around, he always says that if he wants to win the hearts of the people, he cannot kill people all the time in the palace.

He hid his temper and temper. Looking back now, it was really a big mistake.

Chu Chengye found that the more good-tempered those people were, the less scrupulous those people were, and the more they got on their noses.

After listening to him chattering a lot of bad things about the Cheng family, Chu Chengye couldn't stand listening to it for a long time, so he suppressed his temper and listened to him.

Want to execute Cheng Sheng?

Want to remove Cheng Yishou?

Will Cheng Jin be reduced to a promise?

Chu Chengye couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and he didn't know what the person who arranged for him to say this was thinking. It was just a dream.

Chu Chengye couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his hand and threw the long sword in his hand on the ground. "Since Mr. Xu wants to die wholeheartedly, I can't stop him. You can commit suicide."

Putting these words aside, Chu Chengye strode out of the Yangxin Hall. He said to Wei An beside him: "Preach my will. Before Vice General Cheng sends the news, no one will be at a loss without my will from now on." When it comes to Cheng family matters, if there is any violation, Mr. Xu will suffer the consequences."

After listening to Chu Chengye's words, Mr. Xu could no longer kneel. His legs were limp and he sat on the ground. He looked at the golden-handled sword in front of him. He did not move for a long time.

He doesn't want to die.

Although the people kneeling next to him all felt Chu Chengye's cruel methods, they were helpless. They were now unable to protect themselves.

They had previously thought that if they joined Chu Huai'an, they would be able to get ahead quickly, but no one expected that Chu Huai'an would give them all a handle on how they could still speak in the court after experiencing the change of dynasties. , no one’s hands are clean.

It is now difficult for them to escape.

If the matter was revealed, it would be a dead end, so why not just help Chu Huai'an and still have a chance.

Chu Huai'an had a gentle temper before, but he suddenly changed his temper for some reason, and even became more vicious than even Chu Chengye.

As long as he can achieve his goal, he is willing to sacrifice everything.

As long as it succeeds.

Not long after Chu Chengye left the Yangxin Hall, he received the news that Mr. Xu had committed suicide outside the Yangxin Hall to apologize, and the body had been transported out of the palace.

Chu Chengye nodded, "He can say those words in front of me. I think you really risked your life to bring down the Cheng family."

"They want to use public opinion to attack me. There are many of them and they want me to compromise. Dead people can't speak. Even if they have something to say, it doesn't matter if one more person dies."

Chu Chengye turned around and went to Cheng Jin's Spring Harmony Palace. When Chu Chengye entered, Cheng Jin sat on the chair like a soulless puppet.

Chu Chengye knew what Cheng Jin was thinking, and Cheng Sheng's matter really had no resolution now.

Chu Chengye walked over and stroked Cheng Jin's back comfortingly, "I believe Vice General Cheng can't do such a thing. There must be something hidden in it."

Cheng Jin blinked his eyes, and the tears in his eyes slid down his cheeks. Hearing Chu Chengye's words of comfort, Cheng Jin nodded numbly.

Chu Chengye raised his hand and gently wiped the wet tears on Cheng Jin's cheek.

Cheng Jin suddenly thought of something and raised his head to meet Chu Chengye's eyes, "Nowadays, people in the court want to see the Cheng family fall. The soldiers at the border must not see that my brother will come back safely, even if there are letters to be sent to the capital. , and it may not be possible to pass it back.”

"The news from the border can't reach the capital. I want to go to the border to see for myself."
