C20 Assassination
C20 Assassination
The Qin Family didn't care about how many lowly peasants had died. What they cared about was the fact that the spirit mine couldn't be used for a short period of time, which had caused a huge loss.
The person in charge of this spirit mine was Qin Gaang.
What was even more despicable was that when the accident happened, he was fooling around with his subordinates' concubines.
Although the Qin Family had tried their best to conceal this matter, it had still spread in private.
"Bastard! How could it collapse when it's fine?!" Qin Gaang smashed the cup into pieces. His face was terrifyingly gloomy.
He had just been reprimanded by the Duke of Qin and his management rights of the spirit mine had been stripped away. In an instant, most of his wealth had been cut off.
Adding the fact that the scandal had been exposed, it made him even more furious.
"Eldest Young Master, this matter is too strange. I think someone is behind all this." A green-clothed man with a folding fan said.
He was Qin Gaang's number one Mentor, Flying Cloud Speed.
"Troublemaker?" Qin Gaang frowned. "Who is it?!"
"Think about it, young master. Who has the most benefits from this?"
"You mean... Qin Zheng did it?"
Qin Zheng's right to manage the spirit mine had been confiscated. It was very likely that the Duke of Qin would hand the spirit mine over to Qin Zheng to manage.
After all, Qin Zheng was the one who received the most praise from the Duke of Qin's sons.
"This is just my speculation. After all, we don't have any evidence." Feng Yundu said slowly.
"Humph, he must have done it. Otherwise, how could such a large-scale collapse happen in the spirit mine? Good, Qin Zheng, this matter is not over!" Qin Gaang said angrily.
"Qin Zheng has been putting in a lot of effort over the past year, causing us to become more and more embarrassed. It can be seen that he has the help of an expert." Feng Yundu gently fanned his fan a few times.
"Have you investigated it thoroughly?" Qin Gaang's expression became uglier and uglier.
Currently, Qin Zheng's advantage was getting bigger and bigger, causing him to feel somewhat uneasy.
Although he was the eldest son and would inherit the throne according to the rules, having such an 'outstanding' brother made everyone feel threatened.
It wasn't impossible for him to kill his brother and seize the throne.
"According to the information I obtained, a brat named Lin Yue is highly valued by Qin Zheng. He was actually promoted by a lowly servant to become a Mentor. It can be seen that this child cannot be underestimated." Feng Yundu said with a serious expression.
"Lin Yue? I've never heard of him. Where did he come from?"
"This man had a grudge with the young master."
"Impossible, even a servant has the right to have a grudge with me?" Qin Gaang said with disdain.
"Lin Yue was in charge of cleaning Second Miss's study. Because he offended Chiang Shi, he was whipped three times by you, young master." Feng Yundu said.
Qin Gaang frowned and thought for a long time before he had a vague impression.
He had whipped a lot of servants, so he didn't take those things to heart at all.
"So that means that Lin Yue followed Qin Zheng to take revenge on me?" Qin Gaang found it unbelievable. How could a lowly servant have such thoughts?
In his opinion, Lin Yue should be grateful that he was not beaten to death.
"There should be a reason. I also received news that Lin Yue has a big brother called Lin Tian. Qin Yue is now a soldier. In just half a year, he has opened up the first spirit vein and is promoted to a valiant officer."
"Becoming a Lieutenant requires at least the third level of the Pulse Opening Stage." Qin Gaang was a little surprised.
"It's said that Lin Tian is born with extraordinary strength. Even a third level Pulse Opening wouldn't be able to gain much from him." Feng Yundu said.
Qin Gaang furrowed his brows. These two brothers weren't simple at all.
The two of them had gone from being lowly slaves to becoming Mentor and soldiers in less than a year. This kind of thing had never happened before in Royal City of Qin Family.
Qin Gaang was obviously at a disadvantage. During the time that Lin Yue had followed Qin Zheng, no one would believe that it had nothing to do with him.
"Send someone to kill Lin Yue. As for Lin Tian, don't worry about him for now." Qin Gaang said coldly.
"I will make the arrangements now." Feng Yundu smiled.
...
Lin Yue had been in a bad mood these few days.
The collapse of the spirit mine was indeed caused by Qin Zheng. Although he strongly opposed it, it was useless.
The reason why Lin Yue opposed it was because the spirit mine was mined day and night. If it collapsed, many innocent people would be killed or injured. Unfortunately, Qin Zheng did not care about the lives of these people.
"Am I wrong?" Lin Yue came to a distant mountain and sat on a rock. His eyes were full of doubt.
Qin Gaang was violent and lustful, but Qin Zheng wasn't a benevolent man. In order to achieve his goal, he didn't hesitate to kill hundreds of innocent people.
"A general who has become famous is like a withered bone. What kind of person is this? You are such a soft-hearted person. What can you do to achieve great things?" The Moon-devouring Dog's voice suddenly sounded.
"F * ck, where the hell have you been for the past half a year? Why didn't you return even when I called you?" Lin Yue said in an unpleasant tone.
"I have to cultivate as well. Damn it, my cultivation has been weakened to the point of becoming a dog."
"You are a dog to begin with, alright?"
... ""
After three seconds of silence, the Moon-devouring Dog exploded, "Damn it, I'm a dog, not a dog!"
"Alright, alright, isn't it the same? It's a dog, a dog!" Lin Yue consoled.
"I'm warning you, don't say that I'm a dog in the future. Otherwise, damn it, I'll bite you to death!" The Moon-devouring Dog snorted a few times, "It's been so long, and you haven't even broken through to the third stage. You're too useless."
Lin Yue looked up at the sky without saying anything. He had cultivated for less than a year, and he was already at the peak of the second level of the Pulse Opening Stage. With such speed, how could he still be called trash? What else could he say?
"That Nine-heavens Wind Controlling Arts of yours is not bad. The level of your cultivation technique isn't too low, but its combat strength is just too weak. Hurry up and cultivate, and enter the Fiendgod Pagoda. Damn it, I guarantee that you will be so happy that you will fly away." The Moon-devouring Dog said.
"You're so concerned about my cultivation, does that mean you have a purpose?" Lin Yue said.
"What purpose do you have? Damn it, treating good intentions like a donkey's liver and lungs. You can slowly cultivate by yourself!" After saying that, the Moon-devouring Dog disappeared again.
Lin Yue did not care about him. If he said that he had no purpose, only a ghost would believe him!
However, after the disturbance caused by the Moon-devouring Dog, Lin Yue's mood became a little better.
That's right. A general would become famous for a long time, let alone fighting for a higher position in the throne.
Lin Yue had made up his mind. Once Qin Zheng ascended the throne and took revenge on Qin Gaang, he would leave Royal City of Qin Family.
Seeing the sun setting in the west, Lin Yue started to return. As he walked between the trees, he suddenly stopped because there was a person standing in front of him.
This person had an arrogant look on his face. He stood in the middle of the road and looked at Lin Yue coldly.
"What are you doing?" A panicked expression emerged on Lin Yue's face.
"I'm going to kill you!" As soon as the man finished his words, he dashed towards Lin Yue.
"Third level Pulse Opening!" Lin Yue looked at the man with surging spiritual energy and felt slightly relieved. However, he shouted while running, "Don't! Don't kill me!"
The man sneered. According to the information he received, Lin Yue was an ordinary man and had never cultivated before. Therefore, in his eyes, Lin Yue was already a dead man.
The man jumped a few times and blocked Lin Yue's path.
"I have no enmity with you, you... Why did you kill me?" Lin Yue was so scared that his whole body was trembling.
" Then I'll let you know that it was the Second Young Master who wanted me to take your life. " The man looked at Lin Yue with a playful expression, as if he was enjoying Lin Yue's frightened expression.
