It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 198 [059] Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be forgiven
"Young Master, the truth of the matter is this..."

The poker-faced, silver-haired loli walked out of a nearby room where Kazama had been hiding for who knows how long.

Seeing Fengjian appear, Xiaoxia, who was crawling on the ground, caught a glimmer of hope. Although the current situation was caused by Fengjian, she could only rely on Fengjian to get out of the predicament.

Qin Jiandan stood in the center of the kneeling apology circle with Xiao Xia at the center and the nine ninjas as the support, looking at Feng Jian who was approaching slowly, wanting to see what she had to say.

Holding an electronic reader-style recorder, Feng Jian, who was wearing a secretary's uniform, cleared his throat:

"The young master came here a few days ago to swim and cool off, and practiced martial arts with the Nine Ninjas, but she didn't bring along Team Leader Xiao Xia, and she has been very unwilling about this. In order to prove herself, Team Leader Xiao Xia deliberately attacked the young master and said some words that angered her, hoping that she would take the fight seriously."

At this point, Feng Jian shrugged his shoulders, and the slightly longer hair on his left temple swayed:

"But although his spirit is commendable, he still overestimated his own capabilities and was easily defeated by the young master... In the end, Captain Xiao Xia only proved himself to be an idiot. Young master, please do not argue with an idiot and forgive Captain Xiao Xia's death sentence."

The nine ninjas bowed their heads and pleaded, "Please forgive Captain Xiao Xia's death!"

Xiao Xia woke up from her dream and promised: "As long as you let me live, I will do anything!"

Qin Jiandan was silent for a while.

Compared with unreliable reasons such as "performing a drama" and "acting on impulse", Fengjian's explanation is more reasonable. At least on the political level, it allows both sides to save face.

In fact, Qin Jiandan had already guessed that Xiao Xia wanted to kill him. It was very common for politicians to appear affectionate on the surface but wish the other person dead in their hearts.

Miyamoto Konatsu has always been resentful towards the Night Dragon Society because of her father's death. Today, she rushed up for no apparent reason and stabbed people with a knife. No matter what the cause was, it seemed like a sincere release of emotion.

The master has said more than once that the Falling Cherry Group has rebellious intentions, and once the Night Dragon Society declines, they will become venomous snakes that bite back.

However, the central figure that the master is wary of is Fengjian. Xiaoxia, a stupid snake who would bite an iron rod, does not have the strength to lead the Luoying Group in a rebellion.

Qin Jiandan recalled what Mu Yue said in the supermarket:
"If Xiao Xia is willing to be your concubine, you should accept her as a favor to me. I will compensate you in the future."

Although I didn't really want to develop a relationship with Xiao Xia other than a colleague, Mu Yue insisted that I take Xiao Xia as a concubine. If I consider her future status as a concubine, Xiao Xia shouldn't be put to death for messing around with me like this...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not thinking about paying with my flesh for my crime. What I'm thinking about is Mu Yue's words "compensating me". Even if I really take Xiao Xia as my concubine in the end, it's just to give face to Mu Yue!
It is also worrying that Fengjian said that he wanted to marry in with Xiaoxia as a "bonus". If Fengjian's concern for Xiaoxia is really twisted to such an extent, then taking two concubines to extinguish the rebellious fire of the Luoying Group would also be a good way to avoid internal attacks from the Yelong Society.

Thinking of this, Qin Jiandan decided to pretend to be confused:

"So you, Xiao Xia, wanted to spar with me. Are you crazy? I'm in a good mood today, so I'll forgive you for the next time. You and Fengjian, get ready. I'm going to the tea room to talk to you."

"Thank you! Thank you for your kindness, young master!"

Xiao Xia, who had escaped death, lowered her body further. Just as she was about to raise her head, Feng Jian's recording device hit her head lightly:
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven. If you want the young master to completely calm down, you will have to suffer today, young lady."

"I, I understand!" Xiao Xia had the look of an experienced person, and even had a faint smile on her face:
"It's common sense to show your breasts when you apologize! I'll show them to you when no one is around!"

There was a look of contempt in Feng Jian's deep pupils:
"Do you think the young master wants to see it? How can an act that does not cause pain to the person concerned be considered a punishment?"

Xiao Xia's body froze immediately. Feng Jian's half-smiley expression was too much like that of a demon! Why couldn't he be a little gentler to me?

※※※

Fengjian did not arrange for Aku to meet the young master. Aku performed his "talent" according to the script, took the reward and returned to the fried chicken shop with his apprentice.

A Ku felt a little sorry for Xiao Xia who was deceived and the young master who was knocked down, but fortunately no one was injured in the process and no more serious consequences were caused.

In the quiet and elegant tea room, Qin Jiandan and Fengjian sat opposite each other drinking tea in a harmonious atmosphere, but Xiaoxia was kneeling in the corner of the room as punishment.

Fengjian tied Xiaoxia up like a dumpling with a red rope as thick as his fingers, and made her kneel on the wavy resin tiles with a tea tray on her head.

"Miss, you must kneel firmly. If the tea tray breaks, the young master will have to extend your punishment time."

Xiaoxia could only nod in agreement to the cruel-hearted Kazama, making weak "mmm" sounds. In order to prevent Xiaoxia from talking nonsense and disrupting business, a ball gag was tied on the female ninja's mouth.

Qin Jiandan sat cross-legged behind the low table, drinking the oolong tea that Fengjian occasionally refilled. Qin Jiandan did not comment on Xiaoxia's punishment of "kneeling on the washboard in an enhanced version".

"Mmmmm..." The tight bondage brought pain to Xiao Xia. She tried her best to maintain her balance with the tea tray on her head, and kept moving her knees slightly to reduce the reaction force of the wavy resin tiles.

Sweat, saliva and tears flowed down one after another. Xiao Xia looked at the young master for help several times, but Qin Jiandan pretended not to see it.

This concubine is courting death before she even gets married, what will happen after she gets married? She must suffer early to prevent her from committing a serious crime in the future!

When Xiao Xia was being tortured, Feng Jian slowly asked the young master about his purpose. Qin Jiandan roughly told him about Ding Chun's bounty on the black market, which triggered the assassination of the Nian Society.

"I can't let Ding Chun keep increasing the bounty. It's time to kill him. But I'm still a little hesitant about how to kill him."

Qin Jiandan placed a sealed sample the size of an eraser on the low table:
"This is the evidence of the 'Phlogiston Disease Catalyst' that the police collected during the bullfighting terrorist attack. I asked Vale to help steal some of it so that I could give it to Doctor Li to research the antidote and prevent us from encountering this kind of thing again in the future."

"The remaining sample used by Doctor Li is right here. If we open the sealed package, a room the size of a teahouse will be filled with the strange aroma of apples, and we will all become susceptible to phlogiston disease."

Qin Jiandan deliberately said it in a more shocking way, but Fengjian's expression did not change at all. It was unknown whether she could see through life and death, or whether, as an intelligence expert, she already knew everything that had happened.

"Young Master, do you want to use this catalyst to kill Ding Chun?" Feng Jian asked without affecting his elegant drinking of tea:
"Ding Chun happened to be visiting the Polytechnic University when the experimental catalyst was stolen. If Ding Chun died of phlogiston disease, it can be explained that he came into contact with the thief and unfortunately inhaled the catalyst. In this way, the Night Dragon Society does not appear to have any responsibility."

"Even if there is no evidence left behind in an ordinary assassination, the Ding family will definitely think that the murderer is the Night Dragon Society. They will add another bounty to avenge Ding Chun, which will not achieve the young master's goal."

"In contrast, there is no precedent for the cure of phlogiston disease. Ding Chun can only wait for death if he gets the disease. The Ding family will spend a lot of resources and money on futile medical treatment and drug search. Using a catalyst and secretly spreading the phlogiston ashes is a more cost-effective assassination."

"However, the chance of a catalyst causing a person to quickly develop phlogiston disease is only 50%. Is that why you are still hesitating, young master?"

Qin Jiandan nodded while drinking tea. Fengjian's analysis was absolutely flawless. This was a qualified concubine... no, a qualified adviser. It would be great if she could serve me loyally.

Putting down the teacup, Qin Jiandan said:
"The Falling Cherry Group is very experienced in making people suffer from phlogiston disease, right? Your ancient method of making knives uses phlogiston ashes, and seven out of ten knife makers will die from phlogiston disease... I need you to find a way to increase the chances of Ding Chun getting sick."

Feng Jian, who was kneeling respectfully opposite the low table, bowed his head to Qin Jiandan:
"Young Master, thank you for your compliment. I will summarize my experience and organize a successful secret assassination to eliminate your worries."

"Um..."

Xiao Xia, who was punished to kneel, had almost reached her limit. She sniffed and reflected on herself:

As expected, there is no such thing as suddenly becoming a million times stronger so that I can kill the young master, kill Qin Qi, and then rule the Night Dragon Society and Huanshi City!
I have begged for help many times with my eyes, but the young master is so heartless that he doesn't even respond! The young master is actually drinking tea leisurely with Feng Jian!
I'm so thirsty... I want to drink tea too. If I fail to assassinate the young master in the future, will I be treated more cruelly than this? It seems that it is safer to marry the young master and wait for an opportunity to take revenge...

"Then the catalyst will stay with you." Qin Jiandan said to Feng Jian:

"You should do it as soon as possible. If the secret assassination fails once, you can always try it a second time, but you must not leave any traces of the Night Dragon Society."

"Rice, Rice Shadow Stand-in!"

The teacup in front of Fengjian suddenly disappeared, and a living person was kneeling on the low table instead. Xiaoxia shouted the name of her superpower through the gag, and instantly exchanged positions with the teacup!

"I can't take it anymore! Please tell me the rest of the punishment later! My knees hurt so much!"

The tea tray that Xiao Xia had been holding on her head fell onto the wavy resin tile and broke into four pieces. When Xiao Xia teleported, she also dropped the ball gag in her mouth and the ropes on her body.

Xiao Xia is not good at enduring hardship, and the expression on her face looks like it is about to break down. Qin Jiandan suddenly has an unreasonable association with their wedding night.

"Kazama, use your recorder to write this down. Xiaoxia's punishment today was not long enough. We will have to make it up later."

"Eh?" Xiao Xia turned to Qin Jiandan on the low table, her face still stained with sweat, saliva and tears:

"Shouldn't the young master be magnanimous and forgive me out of pity? I don't like torture-type punishments! How about punishment on the bed? I will definitely try my best to satisfy the young master!"

Feng Jian stood up straight, and the recording device hit Xiao Xia's head from behind:

"Thank goodness you are so skilled in the "Illusion Substitution Technique". First, please satisfy the young master in the assassination mission. I will let the Nine Ninjas go with you. If you mess up, you will be a decoration in the young master's bedroom and be punished to kneel until dawn every day."

"Jane, this is simply a devil without blood or tears! Compared to this, I would rather be a tableware for female body sushi!"
