They are really not NPCs, please stop it, lady.

Looking at the city wall in the distance, Gu Nian was silent for a moment, then turned to Wu Chunmu and Ji Qiyun and said,

"I didn't destroy the city wall on purpose, so I don't have to pay for it, right?"

"If you must compensate me, I don't have that much money. How about I write you an IOU and you go to the Su family to ask for it?"

Hearing this, the two of them almost vomited blood.

Are you kidding us!

You are obviously so powerful, but you still care about those two or three compensations and want to discuss this matter with us seriously?

Is this the demeanor of a strong person, so down-to-earth, yet so... elusive?

Love love...

How is this possible? This is sick!

The two of them hurriedly waved their hands, indicating that they did not need compensation.

See this.

Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, then said,

"Now that Prince Pingnan is gone, there shouldn't be any more trouble at the Prince Pingnan's Mansion. I'll leave it to you."

Before the two of them understood what Gu Nian meant.

Gu Nian said to Yun Fei,

"Come on, take me to the next one. I'm free today, so I'll clean it up for the whole day."

"Where is this?"

Looking at the large mansion in front of him, Gu Nian asked curiously.

"This is the home of Prime Minister Xu Yunfu."

Yun Fei explained to Gu Nian,

"This Prime Minister himself didn't take action, but his students and former officials are all over the world, and they are all corrupt and exploitative. There are very few good people."

"He doesn't need to dirty his hands. He only needs to say a few words and there will be plenty of people working for him."

After a moment of silence, Yun Fei said,

"The Prince of Pingnan is still only causing trouble in the capital, but this Prime Minister's hand has already extended to the entire Daqian."

"Seventy percent of the officials in Daqian today are his people, from the ministers of the six ministries to the prefects and county magistrates. Even if they are not his people, they have a close connection with him."

Hearing this, Gu Nian felt a little emotional.

How could the late emperor allow such a person to live?

This can already influence the imperial power, right?

Shouldn't someone with such power be killed as soon as any signs of trouble appear?

The late emperor had only been dead for a short time, and this man was almost in control of the entire Daqian. This obviously could not have been something he had achieved recently.

To have such power, one must have been operating for at least a few years, a dozen years, or even decades.

It seems that even when the late emperor was alive, Daqian was not that great.

At this moment, Gu Nian once again expressed the same sentiment he had expressed before.

"You, Daqian, are truly rotten."

Hear this.

Yun Fei just bit her lip and lowered her head, not daring to speak, and not knowing what to say.

She knew very well that Gu Nian's words were true, and she had even given them face.

This is more than just rotten, it's hopeless!

If it weren't for Gu Nian, no one would be surprised if Daqian was gone soon.

"Go ahead and knock on the door."

Gu Nian said to Yun Fei,

"Why don't you deal with people like this quickly? Are you going to keep them for the New Year?"

Mr. Gu's words are really...

Why does it feel like the prime minister is described as a pig?

Yun Fei wanted to laugh, but after thinking about it carefully, she still felt that this was not very polite.

She suppressed her smile, walked forward and knocked on the door.

however.

The gatekeeper just glanced at Yun Fei and started to drive people away impatiently.

Yun Fei was dressed like a general, but the prime minister did not have any disciples who were generals.

Theoretically speaking, these Daqian generals are all subordinates of the King of Pingnan or the Duke of Zhenguo.

After all, these two people rose to prominence through military industry.

Since he is not a disciple of my master, there is no need to be polite.

See this.

Yun Fei did not tolerate the doorman and slapped him away. Then she opened the door and made a gesture of invitation to Gu Nian.

Since Mr. Gu has already decided to take action against the Prime Minister, there is naturally no need to be polite to him.

By the time the two of them had reached the inner courtyard, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, especially the old Prime Minister, had already gathered there.

"Yun Fei?"

Xu Yunfu frowned and glanced at Yun Fei.

“How dare you be so good at the Prime Minister’s Mansion? Who gave you the right?”

"You must know that even His Majesty and the Queen Mother are very polite to me. How dare you, a mere official in charge of the Imperial Guards, be so presumptuous!"

"It seems that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are still somewhat useless. They can't even do such a small thing as governing me!"

From what he said, it was obvious that he was very disrespectful to the two people on the throne.

However, Gu Nian still did not take action directly, but stepped forward and said,

"I'm here to reason with you."

"Who are you?"

Xu Yunfu frowned even deeper, thought carefully for a moment, and then suddenly realized something.

"It seems that you are the one invited by His Majesty and the Queen Mother to deal with this old man?"

"You could say that, although I came here on my own."

Gu Nian thought for a moment and nodded.

"Oh, how ridiculous and childish!"

Xu Yunfu chuckled, extremely confident.

"How dare these two attack me? Don't they know that if anything happens to me, the entire Daqian will be finished?"

"Boy, I advise you to prepare for your own death. Otherwise, if anything happens to Daqian, you won't be able to escape the responsibility!"

"What does this have to do with me? I'm not from Daqian."

Gu Nian blinked, feeling a little annoyed.

"I'm here to reason with you, not to listen to your threats. Are you done?"

His attitude, which showed no respect at all, made Xu Yunfu's expression completely cold.

There are actually people who dare to disrespect me!

He couldn't remember how long it had been since someone had spoken to him like that!

In this Daqian, even the Duke of Zhenguo and the Prince of Pingnan had to treat him with respect.

I didn't expect that someone would dare to speak to him like that!

"Humph, this kid doesn't know his place. Come, take care of him."

Xu Yunfu waved his hand and spoke in a cold voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant drew his knife and walked towards Gu Nian.

Seeing this, Gu Nian felt helpless.

I've been so nice to you guys, it's obvious that I'm here to reason with you.

Why do you all think I'm easy to bully?

That's enough!

It seems that I have no choice but to take action again.

An hour later.

Gu Nian brought Yun Fei and walked out of the burning Prime Minister's Mansion, feeling a little emotional.

"You say, am I not being kind enough?"

"I'm just trying to make a point. Why do you all think I'm easy to bully?"

"This...Mr. Gu is indeed very kind."

Yun Fei laughed dryly twice, not knowing what to say.

Do you mean that you set the entire Prime Minister's Mansion on fire with one sword, and even killed dozens of servants with one sword, and that you are kind?

If that's the case, then you're really kind!

"I originally planned to give them a chance. If they haven't done anything wrong, or their crimes don't deserve the death penalty, I'll hand them over to you."

Looking back, Gu Nian's expression became a little complicated.

"But I never expected that in such a huge Prime Minister's Mansion, not a single person was innocent..."

"Even a dog has killed someone... They really didn't give me any chance..."

In this regard.

Yun Fei's pretty face flushed red, she lowered her head helplessly, not daring to look at Gu Nian.

After all, it was a scandal of his own dynasty, and it was really too embarrassing to be spoken out by Gu Nian.

She quickly changed the subject and said,

"Mr. Gu, what should we do next?"

"Continue to sweep through each house one by one."

"Isn't this... a bit too inefficient?"

"No, this is the only way to be most efficient."

Gu Nian smiled meaningfully.

Subsequently.

In just half a day, Gu Nian and Yun Fei visited seven or eight houses.

The people he picked were all big shots, and every time he took action, it was so loud that it was easy for people not to know about it.

Before noon, the news of what he had done had spread throughout the capital.

The people naturally applauded.

However, some people could not sit still and sat together for the first time.

"Ji Qiyun and Wu Chunmu seem to be planning to attack us, Old Duke, what do you think..."

A man in armor sat in front of the Duke of Zhenguo and said cautiously,

"It is said that he was invited by Wu Chunmu. Although he is only a teenager, his cultivation is extremely high."
