Chapter 296: Brother Ting Tortures Scum

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The youngest son of the Wei family rode his horse on the streets and deliberately murdered the former Protector Duke!

As soon as this news spread, it immediately caused a huge commotion in the capital.

As soon as Emperor Jing Xuan got off the court, he received a report from the Imperial Capital.

Ordinary cases would not be exposed to the Imperial Court, but wasn’t this extraordinary?

On one side was Qin Canglan’s son… No, his illegitimate brother, and on the other side was Lord Wu An’s youngest grandson.

The two of them were officials of the Imperial Court. Moreover, they were both at home for some reason that could only be understood but not explained. When the official brought them into the capital, the capital magistrate had a headache!

Who was so blind to invite these two Buddhas?

News of Qin Jiang’s background spread throughout the capital. Logically speaking, since he was not the legitimate son of the eldest branch but Qin Feng’s illegitimate son, his status should have plummeted.

However, Emperor Jing Xuan seemed to want to hand over military power to him.

This was something that could not be weighed.

At any time, real power was better than an empty status.

The capital magistrate could not afford to offend anyone. He made up his mind and came to look for Emperor Jing Xuan.

Emperor Jing Xuan also had a headache.

The Wei family was King Nanyang’s old subordinate. He had always treated the Wei family coldly and never summoned Wei Ting easily.

However, ever since Wei Ting returned from the temple, he entered the palace every other day and relied on causing trouble to become his “favored minister”.

Even in the court this morning, a few royalist officials who did not like the Wei family openly asked Wei Ting when he would return to the army…

Emperor Jing Xuan really wanted to draw a line with Wei Ting. He looked at Wei Ting and Qin Jiang impatiently.

Qin Jiang’s body was wrapped in thick gauze, and his face was bruised. He looked terrible.

Emperor Jing Xuan asked with a headache, “What’s the reason this time?”

Qin Jiang said bitterly, “Your Majesty! Please uphold justice for me!”

Wei Ting looked like a sloppy evil ruffian, but he was handsome. No matter how profligate he was, he still looked heroic.

Emperor Jing Xuan asked, “Did you do it?”

“Oh, it was me,” Wei Ting admitted generously.

The capital magistrate watched the two of them fight from the side. He did not dare to say a word.

Unlike the officials of other aristocratic families, he was born in the countryside and had no power or influence. It was not easy for him to reach this position. He did not want to die as soon as he took office.

Emperor Jing Xuan asked sternly, “What do you want to do? Kill an official of the Imperial Court on the streets?”

Wei Ting smiled faintly. “If I wanted to kill him, he would be a corpse by the time he is carried to His Majesty.”

Emperor Jing Xuan was speechless.

These words were too arrogant.

However, it was the truth.

Wei Ting was a killing god in King Hulie’s military camp. If he really wanted to take Qin Jiang’s life, Qin Jiang would not have survived until now.

Emperor Jing Xuan frowned and said, “Then say something. Why did you do this to him?”

“He scolded me,” Wei Ting said. “A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. I only kicked his carriage over. It’s enough to save him some dignity.”

Qin Jiang gritted his teeth and said, “You only kicked over the carriage? My bones are broken!”

Wei Ting said casually, “I won’t be injured if I fall from the carriage. Are you blaming me for being weak?”

Qin Jiang fell back in anger!

Therefore, there was a reason why Yuchi Xiu was arrogant.

Qin Jiang clenched his fists and tried not to be led by the nose by Wei Ting. “You just said that I scolded you. How did I scold you? What did I scold you about?”

Wei Ting snorted, looking like he wanted to ignore Qin Jiang.

Emperor Jing Xuan said in a low voice, “Speak!”

Wei Ting said unwillingly, “He scolded me. A good dog doesn’t block the way.”

Qin Jiang was simply stunned!

Wasn’t this what Qin Jiang was scolded by Wei Ting for?

Who was scolding whom?

Also, was this considered calling himself a dog…

When he was ruthless, would he not even let himself off?

Could he be any more shameless?!

Qin Jiang exploded. “I didn’t say that! You said it!”

Wei Ting said calmly, “My subordinate heard it, Yuchi Xiu.”

Yuchi Xiu, who was waiting outside the imperial study, flashed and arrived at the door.

He looked at Qin Jiang and said expressionlessly, “That’s right, I heard you.

That’s what you said!”

Bullshit. He wasn’t even there.

Qin Jiang gritted his teeth. “I didn’t see you!”

Yuchi Xiu said righteously, “I’m a secret guard. If you see me, I don’t have to work anymore! ”

Qin Jiang was about to vomit blood.

If the upper beam was not upright, the lower beam would be crooked. This master and servant were both shameless!

Qin Jiang’s lungs were about to explode. “Your Majesty! I swear to the heavens that I definitely didn’t say that…”

Wei Ting said solemnly, “I can also swear in my father’s name.”

Qin Jiang couldn’t take it anymore. “Your father is already dead!”

Wei Ting looked at him with a hurt expression. “So is Mr. Qin bullying me for being a fatherless child?” Qin Jiang choked.

No…

What did this have to do with anything? How did this happen?

And… did he call himself a child?

Wasn’t he in his twenties?

Wasn’t he ashamed to say that he was a child?

Wei Ting lowered his eyes and sighed melancholically. “I know that our Wei family is not as good as before. Everyone wants to step on me. If he really fights with me, I respect him for being a man. What’s so good about angering

Wei Ting spoke clearly. If Qin Jiang wasn’t the plaintiff, he would have believed him.

Qin Jiang was so angry that his head was buzzing. “Nonsense! I clearly didn’t anger you! You were the one who came up and hit my carriage! As if one hit wasn’t enough, you hit it a second time!”

Wei Ting said innocently, “Mr. Qin, if you hadn’t angered me, I wouldn’t have bumped into so many people on the streets, but you. Why would I have nothing to do? Or… did Mr. Qin do something wrong to me recently that I want to take revenge on you?”

“You…”

Qin Jiang choked and blushed.

Hearing this, what else did he not understand?

Wei Ting was taking revenge!

He had clearly guessed that he was behind Consort Xian testifying against him.

But he couldn’t admit it.

Otherwise, compared to scolding and angering Wei Ting, he could not afford to be accused of colluding with the emperor’s concubine.

Qin Jiang was definitely going to suffer this loss.

It was wrong for Qin Jiang to spout nonsense, and it was even more wrong for Wei Ting to beat someone up on the streets. Emperor Jing Xuan punished Wei Ting to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors for a month and fined him for half a year.

Wei Ting looked a little aggrieved. “I admit it. Can you not punish me?” Emperor Jing Xuan asked, “Why? Are you short of money?”

“I’m very short.” Wei Ting glanced at Qin Jiang without changing his expression. “After all, I’m not like Mr. Qin who can casually acknowledge a wild father.”

Qin Jiang was speechless.

After having a rib broken by Wei Ting, Qin Jiang was made to vomit blood.

Qin Jiang was carried out.

Emperor Jing Xuan did not want to see Wei Ting again.

“Stand down too!” he said in a low voice.

Wei Ting refused to leave. “Then my salary…”

Emperor Jing Xuan suppressed his anger. “No punishment!”

Emperor Jing Xuan only wanted this little troublemaker to leave quickly! Out of sight, out of mind!

Wei Ting had no intention of leaving. “Your Majesty, you don’t look too good.” Emperor Jing Xuan muttered, “Isn’t that because of you?”

Wei Ting said seriously, “Your Majesty is depressed. I should help you solve your problems.”

“Why don’t I believe it?”

An ominous feeling surged in Emperor Jing Xuan’s heart…

Wei Ting said, “I learned some Buddhist scriptures in the temple. Let me read you a Buddhist scripture.”

As he spoke, he naturally took out a wooden fish from his wide sleeve.

Emperor Jing Xuan’s eyebrows twitched!

Fifteen minutes later, Wei Ting swaggered out of the palace with the 3,000 taels of silver he had obtained..
