Chapter 225: Chapter 103 Chongqing Travel (24) Kill Without Mercy! _2

Xiao Jinsen was so angry that he overturned the dining table in front of him.

He had never anticipated that Chen Hezhi and his son would die at Xiao Jinxing’s hands so swiftly.

Indeed, he had never considered letting Chen Hezhi and his son live; their existence threatened him, and he feared the father and son might betray him. He had already secretly dispatched people to Yuzhou City, ready to kill the pair immediately upon receiving news of their capture by Xiao Jinxing. Little did he know Xiao Jinxing would deal with them like this!

To kill his own men or to have someone else kill them—though the outcome was death either way, it felt completely different!

Xiao Jinsen, accustomed to controlling everything in the palm of his hand for so many years, naturally felt extremely uncomfortable being led by the nose like this.

He wore a grim expression.

No one around him dared to utter a word.

All of them were tremblingly awaiting orders.

"Have all the medicinal materials been controlled?!" Xiao Jinsen asked.

His voice was extremely cold.

It was also suppressively cold.

This round, Xiao Jinxing barely won, he admitted.

But he definitely would not make it easy for Xiao Jinxing.

"Reporting back to the Prince, within the territories of Zhongtu, everything has been arranged properly. All the medicine merchants will not supply the medicinal materials Yuzhou City needs. Prince Chen’s wish to save the people of Yuzhou is nothing but a pipe dream!" Shi Yongcheng quickly responded.

"Enter the palace!" Xiao Jinsen ordered coldly and decisively!

"Yes."

Xiao Jinsen went directly to the palace to meet Xiao Zhanping.

Obviously.

Xiao Zhanping had just received the secret report from Yuan Wenkang and was also furious when he learned of the vile actions of Chen Hezhi and his son.

"A mere Military Governor, to act so wantonly to this extent!" Xiao Zhanping was livid with royal anger, "Absolutely audacious!"

"Your son seeks an audience with you, Father Emperor." Xiao Jinsen walked into Xiao Zhanping’s sleeping quarters and saluted.

"Your timing is perfect! I was just about to summon you to the palace!"

"Your son heard that Yuan Wenkang had returned and surmised that news had come from Yuzhou City, so I came to inquire about the situation. Previously, there was talk of an accident befalling the younger brother, may I ask if the younger brother is alright?" Xiao Jinsen asked with apparent concern, inquiring about Yuan Wenkang.

Yuan Wenkang hurried to reply, "Reporting back to the Prince, Prince Chen is all well."

"After you left Xun City, there were rumors that you encountered an assassination attempt. What happened?" Xiao Jinsen pretended to be clueless and appeared very anxious, "Father Emperor later sent the Imperial Guards to find traces of Prince Chen, and for so long now there hasn’t been any news."

"Reporting back to the Prince." Yuan Wenkang detailed the events, "When Prince Chen was lodging at the first station, he encountered an ambush and assassination attempt by assassins. In my efforts to fend off the assassins, I became separated from the Prince and Princess as well. After eluding the assassins, I headed straight for Yuzhou City. By the time I got there, Prince Chen had already arrived in Yuzhou. But Yuzhou was under the control of Chen Hezhi and his son, who didn’t allow anyone to enter or leave. All the common people of Yuzhou City were trapped inside, suffering beyond words. To capture Chen Hezhi and his son and to rescue the people of Yuzhou City, Prince Chen ordered me to seek General Bai’s assistance at the border. General Bai sent 500 elite soldiers to help Prince Chen take down Yuzhou City, and then executed Chen Hezhi and his son on the spot. Prince Chen specially ordered me to return to the palace to report to the Emperor."

"Chen Hezhi was unbelievably brazen! Who gave him the right to seal off Yuzhou City!" Xiao Jinsen appeared exceedingly angry.

Of course, he was also putting on a show for Xiao Zhanping.

"Chen Hezhi committed heinous crimes and deserved death on the spot, his death is not enough to acquit him!" Xiao Zhanping said coldly, "What’s the situation in Yuzhou City now?"

"Reporting to the Emperor. All the patients with the plague in Yuzhou City have been isolated, and the plague has been brought under control. Prince Chen specifically requests the Emperor to release food from the stores to aid the people of Yuzhou City. Due to the prolonged blockade, all food supplies in Yuzhou City have been exhausted. Moreover, not just inside Yuzhou City, but other nearby cities including Hezhou City, are also facing famine due to the plague."

"Good!" Xiao Zhanping agreed immediately, "I promise to release the official grain immediately to relieve the people of Yuzhou City and its surroundings!"

"Father Emperor." Xiao Jinsen suddenly spoke up.

"Prince Chu, you have something to say?"

"Your son also wishes to understand more specific details about Yuzhou City."

"Speak."

"Yuan Wenkang." Xiao Jinsen called him.

"I am here."

"You just mentioned that the plague in Yuzhou City has been brought under control. How was this achieved?" Xiao Jinsen asked.

"Replying to the Prince. Prince Chen had all the plague patients completely isolated. Plague is a communicable disease, and once there is no further transmission, it’s considered under control."
