C97 Part2

....

Murong Ci walked over, holding a knife in her hand, waving the knife in front of Master Wang Tao, with a bloodthirsty and cruel sneer on the corner of her lips,

"Your son is ten years old, with handsome eyes.

How about this Prince sells him to the Phoenix Building to have fun, or should I have my own hands on him and cut off his meat piece by piece?

Which one do you think is better?"

This casual voice was ferocious and cold, and the tone was terrifying.

Master Wang Tao was so frightened that he cried bitterly,

"Don't...Your Highness please have mercy...

This guilty Official really doesn't know who the buyer is and has never seen him..."

Murong Ci said slowly and rationally:

"Then I'll have to send someone to arrest your son."

He rushed over, grabbed the corner of her robe, and wailed bitterly:

"No, Your Highness...this guilty Official really doesn't know...

I've already confessed everything I knew..."

She pulled out the corner of her robe angrily,

"Get lost!"

It seemed that he really didn't know who the buyer was.

She asked again:

"Why did you go to the Linglong Pavilion then?

Don't you know the boss behind it?"

Master Wang Tao didn't expect His Highness to change the topic so quickly, and he was puzzled before replying:

"I was taken there by Master Wan Fang.

I don't know how Master Wan Fang knew about the Linglong Pavilion but I only knew that he'd go there before early evening.

I've never met the boss behind it.

I've only seen the shopkeeper and the assistant in the shop."

"Master Wan Fang has not mentioned to you the boss behind the Linglong Pavilion?" Murong Yu asked coldly.

"No. Master Wan Fang was very reserved, and he wouldn't mention anything he didn't want to say to me."

Master Wang Tao replied.

"How could the weapons be shipped out of the Military Supervisor Facility?"

Murong Yu asked again.

"They were transported from a secret path.

Master Wan Fang only asked me to be responsible for moving from the warehouse to the secret path, and then from the secret road onward I knew nothing about what happened after that."

"Prince Regent, he seems to be concealing the truth again."

Murong Ci's voice was cold, bloodthirsty and cruel, and as he heard it he got goose bumps all over his skin.

"Your Highness, how can this guilty Official dare to conceal anything when I'm still thinking of the safety of my youngest son...?"

Master Wang Tao cried out loud.

"Since he's still concealing something, let his son bear the consequences and frustrate him until his bones burn to ashes."

Murong Yu said casually, with a sharp murderous aura in his voice.

"Bones to ashes?!

Why couldn't this Prince think of such a good idea?"

She frowned in surprise with her cold voice.

"Don't... Your Royal Highness please...

It's not that I didn't say it, it's that I really don't know..."

Master Wang Tao wailed heartbreakingly, as if he had suffered great injustice,

"How can I not confess if I knew it?

Your Highness, please have mercy..."

Murong Ci's eyes twinkled brightly,

"You and Master Wan Fang knew each other very well.

Tell me all you knew about him."

When Master Wang Tao heard this, he thought that it meant that he had passed the test, and he no longer felt so painful, and said with tears of hope:

"Master Wan Fang was very reserved, and he wouldn't tell me a lot of things.

In fact, he wasn't as greedy for money as me and what he wanted was power and prestige instead.

He would often complain to me about not accomplishing anything in the Military Supervisor Facility for a few years now and there were no future outcome of just supervising a broken place like the Military Supervisor Facility.

Based on what he said, he seemed to want to enter the Ministry of Defense and Military Forces instead, so that he could climb up step by step..."

'Master Wan Fang was very ambitious in his career.'

She asked:

"If he was good at planning and drilling battalions, he could have been in contact with the Officials and staff of the Ministry of Defense and Military Forces.

It shouldn't have been too difficult for him to make contact and enter it."

He continued:

"It wasn't that he didn't have good friends in the Ministry of Defense and Military Forces.

It's just that he was short of luck and he was disappointed by others.

After failing a few times, he had become frustrated.

I learned from casual chatting that Master Wan Fang had a wide range of friends, but there were no people who really knew him.

His errands with silver, beauties, and Officials were everything there was in the end.

Therefore, he decided to take another way, and started selling weapons privately."

"Did he intend to beg for money with the private selling of weapons?"

Murong Yu's sword-like eyebrows narrowed slightly.

"It shouldn't be because of money.

It's just my speculation but it seemed to me...that he wanted to seek the buyer's appreciation and promotion."

Master Wang Tao pondered,

"I just guessed that the buyer must have been a powerful person."
