Chapter 105.3

Tang Xuan’s face didn’t change: ”The Lord Governor has misunderstood. I told you, if I say too much, it’s not good for Master Qian, and if Master Qian says too much, it’s not good for me either. It all depends on your opinion. Master Qian said that with his teacher-student relationship, he can convince you. I was unlucky to be wronged by Miss An Ruochen and couldn’t prove my innocence. Master Qian must have held a grievance in my stead and sought you to intercede.”

Yao Kun said, “You’re bending over backward to avoid being trapped by me. Let me make it clear to you. I know that you are a spy. There is no need to look for evidence. Killing you or releasing you does depend on my opinion.”

Tang Xuan said nothing.

Yao Kun said, “It’s easy for me to kill you. Just put you and some bandits in a cell. You know, when the prison’s snakes and rats mix, verbal disputes often occur. Hand fight is also common. If one is not careful and meets with some accidents …….”

Tang Xuan looked at Yao Kun, thought for a while, and said, “If you intend to deal with me in this way, there is no need to come and say this to me.”

“If I planned to set you free, I wouldn’t have to come and say this to you either.”

Tang Xuan asked, “So what are your intentions?”

“I want to talk to you about conditions.”

Tang Xuan lost his smile, “The person locked up inside the prison is me.”

“That’s right. So listen carefully to what I say and consider it well.” Yao Kun’s cold face brought in an official authority. “Let me ask you, what can Qian Pei do for you?”

Tang Xuan smiled bitterly. “Might as well lock me up with bandits.”

Yao Kun wasn’t in a hurry and said, “Is this not a good question? Then I’ll change it. Between me and Qian Pei, which one is more useful?”

Tang Xuan froze.

“Or should I compare it like this? Which side is more useful, me or Qian Pei’s father and son?”

Tang Xuan shook his head, “Lord Qian is old-fashioned and conservative and has many grievances against Master Qian, so if Master Qian’s business is known to him, I fear it will attract troublesome hindrances. I’m working with Master Qian on a justifiable business. Please, don’t misunderstand me, My Lord.”

“What a pity.” Yao Kun said, “It is a justified business. Then, if I want to replace Qian Pei, I’m afraid I won’t be able to.” Yao Kun looked at Tang Xuan and moved back, “I’ll instruct them to transfer you to the bandit’s cell. I’ll take care of Qian Pei’s threats against me myself.” After he finished speaking, he made a move to leave.

“My Lord.” Tang Xuan called out to him.

Yao Kun turned back, and Tang Xuan stared at him for a long time, “Did Master Qian Pei threaten you? I didn’t know anything about that. I only do tea trading with Master Qian. I am upset that Master Qian said the wrong thing to disturb you and dragged me down. I am innocent and want to leave this place. Tell me the conditions.”

Yao Kun said, “I am the Governor. The whole county, towns, and villages are all under my control. All the officials listen to my command. If there’s a war, General Long only cares about the defense. While I am here in Zhonglan City, telling the whole Pingnan to do as I please, officials or not, citizens or not, they all have to listen to me.”

Tang Xuan’s expression turned serious.

“The cases that happened in the city, how to investigate them, what the results will be, whatever I say is final.” Yao Kun was not in a hurry. His words were quite imposing.

Tang Xuan looked at him.

Yao Kun also looked at him.

“Qian Pei, that idiot, thinking he can call me around because he taught me a few days of reading. Who doesn’t have a handle to hold over them? If he pushes me, he’s the one who will be unlucky. As for you, you are a spy. Killing you or releasing you is also a matter of my word. But you need to make a choice.”

Tang Xuan knew what it was but still couldn’t help but ask, “Choose what?”

“Me or Qian Pei?” This time, Yao Kun smiled at him, “While An Ruochen is out of town, you should make a decision.”

Author’s Note: A little theater:

Xue Xuran: Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m here to ask you a question. May I ask, is Governor Yao Kun an enemy or a friend?

An Ruochen: Wait, why are you coming to deliver the question?

Xue Xuran: This is to tell the audience that I’m important.

Tang Xuan: Wait, aren’t I the most important role right now?

Big Long: The villain should go to the side, okay?
