Imperial Palace, Virtue Hall.
Lan Yunhai sat in the hall, waiting anxiously.
If Qin Yetian came a minute late, Lan Bingxuan's life would be in danger.
At this time, in the hall, besides Xiao Luyang, Nie Tian, Zhang Yifeng, and Lan Bingchen, there were two other figures: Jin Mingxin and Qi Feng.
Both of them had learned of what had happened from Jin Dabao and knew that Nie Tian had already arrived at the imperial palace, so they rushed over without stopping.
Lan Yunhai was also slightly surprised. He didn't expect Nie Tian's influence to be so great that even Jin Mingxin and Qi Feng came over.
The hall was deathly silent. Everyone was waiting for Qin Yetian to appear.
If Qin Yetian couldn't bring Nie Yurou over, then today's Virtue Hall was bound to be a bloodbath.
Nie Tian thought that if he didn't see Nie Yurou, his next step would be to charge into the Bingye Imperial Palace and ask Lan Bingye for her. And if Lan Yunhai stopped him, Nie Tian didn't mind starting an all-out war with the imperial family.
Although Nie Tian wasn't strong enough right now, Zhang Yifeng, Jin Mingxin, Qi Feng, and the others would definitely stand on his side.
Therefore, he was very doubtful if the imperial family had the courage to start an all-out war.
Lan Yunhai also sensed that Nie Tian's emotions weren't right. He only hoped that Qin Yetian would bring good news.
"Your Majesty, Commander Qin has returned!" Qin Yetian was still several hundred meters away, but Xiao Luyang had already sensed his aura and hurriedly said to Lan Yunhai.
Everyone looked out of the hall.
Qin Yetian carried a corpse in his hand, and two servant girls followed behind him. The two servant girls brought a little girl. It was Nie Yurou!
"Big Brother Nie Tian!" Before Nie Yurou entered the hall, she saw Nie Tian from afar and ran over. Her crisp voice rang out, and she couldn't help but cry.
Nie Tian held Nie Yurou in his arms. When the latter had cried enough and calmed down, he carefully examined her.
After confirming that Nie Yurou was alright, Nie Tian's taut face relaxed a little.
When Lan Yunhai saw Qin Yetian carrying Qin Yulang's corpse in his hand, his expression turned gloomy as he asked, "Qin Yetian, what's going on?"
Qin Yetian knelt on the ground and pointed at Qin Yulang's corpse. "Your Majesty, this is your subject's third son, Qin Yulang. He was the one who had kidnapped Miss Nie Yurou. This subject's son is a good-for-nothing and has a bad reputation. I wanted to discipline him more strictly, but I never had the time. "
"My son and Mr. Nie have some personal grudges, and he has always harbored hatred in his heart. That's why he did such a wrong thing. It's really heartbreaking."
"Your subject has failed to teach my son properly and has made a grave mistake. Your Majesty, please punish me!"
After Qin Yetian finished speaking, he wept bitterly and kowtowed deeply to the ground.
Lan Yunhai frowned and asked, "Then how did he die?"
Qin Yetian howled in pain and said: "After I found out what happened, I couldn't bear to see this child continue to commit crimes, so I hardened my heart and personally executed him."
"Killing your own son with your own hands. Truly putting righteousness before family! "Lan Yunhai's brows rose and he said solemnly:" Qin Yetian, this Gujia has misjudged you. I didn't think that you could still do such a shocking thing. "
Lan Yunhai's voice was ice cold, filled with a chill.
He was not a three year old child. Of course he could tell that Qin Yetian was spouting nonsense.
Killing Qin Yulang was obviously silencing him.
Lan Yunhai knew in his heart that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Nie Yurou was definitely someone else.
Then who could this person be?
Who would make Qin Yetian sacrifice his own son in order to protect him?
"Could it be …" Lan Yunhai's expression suddenly changed. A name appeared in his mind: Lan Bingye!
Lan Bingye was Qin Yetian's nephew and had always been close with the Qin Family.
Recalling that Lan Bingye had just lost to Nie Tian at the Tyrant Cloud Freshmen Martial Meet, Lan Yunhai guessed that the entire matter was most likely plotted by Lan Bingye in secret.
Lan Yunhai suddenly looked at Nie Tian strangely and was startled to detect the sharp killing intent in the latter's eyes. His heart turned cold and he said with a sigh: "Bingye ah, you shouldn't have offended Nie Tian. Offending a person you can't afford to offend could very possibly bring a calamity to the imperial family! "
Lan Yunhai suddenly recalled Nie Tian's words at this time: If you reject my terms, the Blue Cloud Empire will welcome a calamity!
Looking at it now, Nie Tian definitely had a certain awareness of the entire matter. Otherwise, it would not be possible to only give Qin Yetian half an hour's time.
Furthermore, Lan Yunhai faintly felt that Nie Tian indeed had the strength to bring a calamity to the Blue Cloud Empire!
Thinking of this, Lan Yunhai actually could not help shuddering.
Lan Yunhai could see that Qin Yetian was babbling nonsense. Nie Tian naturally could as well.
Everyone present was not a fool. Qin Yetian's words could deceive a three year old child, but to want to deceive this group of intelligent people, it was simply impossible.
Nie Tian looked at Qin Yetian Cold and did not speak.
Lan Yunhai's cold gaze swept over and he said: "Qin Yetian, I am very gratified that you can place righteousness before family. But you cannot escape responsibility for this matter. Qin Yulang is your son. You cannot escape the crime of not teaching your son properly. Furthermore, young lady Nie Yurou was kidnapped in the Martial City. The Imperial Guards under your command were not aware of this matter at all. You cannot escape the crime of dereliction of duty. You cannot absolve yourself from the blame for this double crime! "
Lan Yunhai was well aware that this matter was related to Lan Bingye and naturally did not wish to pursue it. He might as well casually punish Qin Yetian and let it go.
"This subject is willing to accept punishment!" Qin Yetian said with his head lowered. His back was already drenched in cold sweat.
But he was already much more at ease. Lan Yunhai's words were very obvious. He was already deliberately shielding Qin Yetian.
Lan Yunhai saw that Nie Tian was silent, so he coughed dryly and said: "Mister Nie, you are the victim in this matter. As for how to punish Qin Yetian, it will be up to you to decide."
Lan Yunhai's words were completely out of consideration for Nie Tian's feelings. He pushed the boat along with the current, allowing Nie Tian to vent his anger on Qin Yetian.
Nie Tian looked at Qin Yetian Cold. His entire body was filled with undisguised killing intent. He opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, word by word: "I want him dead!"
As the cold and gloomy voice fell, the faces of everyone present froze at the same time.
No one would have thought that Nie Tian would actually make such a request.
If it was not for Nie Tian's gloomy face, everyone would have thought that he was joking.
Nie Tian naturally knew that this matter was Lan Bingye's doing. Qin Yulang was merely a little scapegoat.
Since Lan Bingye did not dare to come out and admit it, then Nie Tian would cripple Qin Yetian.
Lan Yunhai froze for a few seconds. Finally, he laughed awkwardly and said: "Mister Nie, this punishment of yours is a little …"
Without waiting for Lan Yunhai to finish, Nie Tian forcefully interrupted him and said: "Your Majesty, if you feel that my punishment is too much, then you don't have to carry it out."
Lan Yunhai looked at Nie Tian. There was a dull fire in his chest that he could not swallow nor spit out.
But he still said kindly: "Mister Nie, please change the method of punishment."
Nie Tian raised his eyes to look at Lan Yunhai and said: "I only have this method of punishment. If Your Majesty does not wish to kill Qin Yetian, then forget it."
