Chapter 148 Confrontation, forbearance!
Chapter 148 Confrontation, forbearance!
At this time, Mr. Gao Jinda had no appetite for drinking. He was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Only then did he realize how fierce and brutal the two brothers of the woman he wanted to rob a month ago were. Obviously, if Liu Feiyun hadn't intervened that day, and he had really forced the two brothers into a corner, his fate would probably not be much better than that of Narudoma.
He tried to suppress the discomfort in his stomach, but still retched a few times. After a long while, he regained some composure and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Highness."
Liu Feiyun smiled and said, "Actually, I want to vomit too, but I think it's really embarrassing to vomit in front of this dog slave!" As he said that, he looked at the guard of the Yuan Yan family who was huddled in the corner and trembling.
When the guard saw this, his face turned even paler.
As people continued to go up and down the stairs, after a while, a few people wearing Yuan Yan family guards' uniforms finally came up.
These people pushed aside the people who had just come up to the stairs to watch the excitement, then stepped aside to make way for one person to walk into the fifth floor.
Seeing this man's heroic and handsome appearance, Nagudoma's companions finally plucked up their courage and hurried forward to greet him, "Young Master! Deputy Commander Nagudoma was killed by them!"
The young master had a gloomy face. He first glanced at the corpse on the ground, then coldly looked at Gao Jinda, Liu Feiyun and others, and then said: "Young Master Gao, what do you mean? Although I may have offended you because I have never seen you before, you can't take his life just like that! If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I, Yuan Yanxi, will not let it go! Even if your father is a county magistrate!"
Gao Jinda was now somewhat calmer. Seeing Yuan Yanxi threatening him right away, although he was still a little scared, he still managed to answer, "Master Yuan... Yuan... Yuan Yan! This man is already dead! What do you want?"
"What! Haha! What! Let's not talk about anything else. Killing someone means paying with one's life. This is the law of the court! Whoever did it, you'd better hand him over first to my guards to pay with their lives, and then we can talk about other things! Otherwise, even if this is Anping County, you, Mr. Gao, will probably lose your life."
The king's law! Life is at stake! Gao Jinda's heart shuddered, and he remembered what Liu Feiyun said when he was slapped in the face with a willow branch that day: ordinary people naturally couldn't use the king's law to do anything to him, but if it was someone with a higher official position than his father and more power than his family, the king's law would be the chain that could take his life and the basis for killing him.
Gao Jinda didn't know how to respond for a moment.
At this moment, Liu Feiyun said calmly: "Reasonable explanation? And life for life! Okay! I can give you a reasonable explanation, as for life for life, we'll talk about it later. But before that, I also want this Master Yuan Yan to give me a reasonable explanation!"
Yuan Yanxi looked up and down at Liu Feiyun, who had some blood on his body, and snorted coldly, saying, "Humph! Who are you? What qualifications do you have? Let me give you a reasonable explanation? Did you kill my loyal servant? Then you deserve to die!"
Liu Feiyun raised his glass and took a sip of wine, then said: "I killed him? Haha! You can say that! But, I also want to ask Master Yuanyan, why did your loyal servant want to assassinate me? It was such a heavy hand, cough! If I hadn't learned a few tricks from him and had the guards to protect him, I'm afraid he would have died here today! How can I explain this matter?" As he spoke, he coughed up blood again. Pretending to be sick or injured! Liu Feiyun has too much experience.
"Prince!? Which prince are you?" Yuan Yanxi was slightly surprised.
"I am Liu Feiyun, the son of Le'an Earl Liu Shihao. Do I have the qualifications to call myself the prince? And what about you, Yuan Yanxi? I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications! The one who can be called the prince of the Duke of Zhenyuan's Mansion must be your eldest brother Yuan Yanhao! Yuan Yanhao has always been known for his virtue, but I didn't expect that he would have such an arrogant brother like you who wants to take people's lives without asking any questions! It's really surprising!"
Yuan Yanxi's expression changed little by little as Liu Feiyun spoke, from disdain at the beginning to shock, then anger and finally calm. "Liu Feiyun!? So it's you, the loser! What? Do you want to provoke a fight to the death between the Liu family of Le Anbo and the Yan family of Zhenyuan Gongyuan?"
"Tsk! Didn't I just say it? I am the only son of Lord Le'an, so I can be called the prince. And you are only the third son of Duke Zhenyuan, not the prince! Can you represent the Yuanyan family? Can you represent Duke Zhenyuan's mansion? What qualifications do you have to say such things? Besides, it was your servant who tried to assassinate me first, and I was just defending myself. What's wrong with that? Even if your guards didn't mean to assassinate me! It was just a misunderstanding! My guards accidentally killed your servant, but so what? He's just a servant, what's the big deal! At most I can compensate you with some money! Is ten taels of gold enough?"
"You... Good! Good! You are so good, Liu Feiyun! I remember that a few months ago, a servant of your family wanted to assassinate me and was killed on the spot by my guards. At that time, I took into consideration that our families were both territorial nobles of the empire and were of the same blood. That's why I didn't investigate it further and even gave your Liu family ten taels of gold for funeral expenses. It can be said that I gave your Liu family enough face, but I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here." "What are you talking about, Third Young Master! What do you mean I'm waiting for you here? Let's put one thing aside! What? You said that the life of my servant is only worth ten taels of gold, so your servant's life is more valuable than my servant's life? Our servants are all cultivators, and they all want to assassinate each other's masters. Now I am using your approach as a precedent to deal with this matter. Is there anything wrong with that? I shouldn't cause a rift between our two families by doing this, right? Don't you think so? Third Young Master!"
As the two exchanged words, Yuan Yanxixi's face gradually turned pale. He wanted to get angry but finally forced himself to suppress his anger and said, "It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Today I am in your territory, I admit defeat. But there is still a long way to go, and there will always be a time for you and me to meet again in the future! Goodbye!"
After that, Yuan Yanxi is about to leave
Liu Feiyun said, "Wait a minute, Third Young Master!"
Yuan Yanxi smiled coldly and said, "Why? Master Liu still wants to keep my life in Anping County?"
Liu Feiyun also smiled and said, "How dare I, how dare you say that, Third Young Master? How dare I save the life of the Third Young Master of Zhenyuan? But Third Young Master, please keep these ten taels of gold as funeral expenses for your servant!"
As he said this, he gestured to Tuo Dajun, who hurriedly took out ten taels of gold and threw it at Yuan Yanxi, but Yuan Yanxi blocked the gold with his hand and knocked it to the ground.
