27: Chapter 27 Moving into the Princess's Mansion

Outside the main gate of the Princesss Residence.

After hearing Chen Zhiwen's words, Huang Qitong's face darkened, and he stopped pretending.

"Your Highness, do you know who this person who died is?" Huang Qitong asked coldly.

Chen Zhiwen replied nonchalantly, "Wei Congnian, the son of Wei Wei, the Prefect of Cangyue Prefecture."

"What about it? Just because of his status, does that mean I couldn't kill him?"

Huang Qitong's veins bulged, but since the event had already occurred, it was not convenient for him to say much more.

Huang Qitong called two people to carry Wei Congnian's corpse into the Princesss Residence, then bowed and said coldly: "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, please return."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiwen stepped toward the inside of the Princesss Residence.

"I have been in Cangyue Prefecture for so long, it is time for me to meet the Prefect. Go and call Wei Wei."

Seeing Chen Zhiwen trying to force his way in, Huang Qitong's expression changed, "Your Highness, the Prefect has been ill and bedridden for many days, I am afraid he cannot see you."

Chen Zhiwen smiled coldly, "Since he cannot get up, then I will go see him."

Seeing this, Huang Qitong wanted to continue to dissuade him, but Chen Zhiwen glanced at him sideways, and Huang Qitong suddenly felt a sense of pressure.

Huang Qitong subconsciously closed his mouth, stopped talking, and let Chen Zhiwen walk into the Princesss Residence.

Not until Chen Zhiwen walked in did Huang Qitong suddenly come to his senses. He ordered someone to rush and tell Wei Wei about this, while he chased after Chen Zhiwen and led him to the main hall.

Arriving in the main hall, Wei Congnian's corpse was placed on the floor, only now it was covered with a white cloth.

After scanning the area, Chen Zhiwen sat on the main seat with familiarity.

Huang Qitong's eyelids twitched wildly, but he did not dare to say anything, so he could only stand silently to the side.

Before long, Wei Wei, having received the news, arrived in the main hall with hurried steps.

Wei Wei ignored everyone in the hall and walked straight to Wei Congnian's corpse, then tremblingly lifted a corner of the white cloth with his hands.

Seeing that the deceased was indeed his son, Wei Wei's eyes went dark, and his body staggered, almost falling.

Fortunately, Huang Qitong ran over to support him, "My Lord, please accept my condolences."

Wei Wei took a few deep breaths, pushed Huang Qitong away, and looked up, glaring at Chen Zhiwen on the main seat.

Chen Zhiwen did not avoid it at all, watching Wei Wei indifferently.

"Lord Wei, it really hasn't been easy to meet you!"

Wei Wei's face was as gloomy as water, and he asked in a deep voice: "Did you kill my son?"

"That's right, I killed him," Chen Zhiwen said frankly. "You should know best about your son's conduct in Gu Cang City all these years."

"Today, since your son fell into my hands, I naturally would not spare him."

"Lord Wei is so angry, could it be that you think I did the wrong thing?"

Wei Wei gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, his hands in his sleeves clenched tightly.

After a long time, Wei Wei finally suppressed the anger in his heart and squeezed out a few words, "Your Highness's actions, your subordinate naturally dares not question."

Chen Zhiwen waved his sleeves indifferently, "Not daring is naturally best. I came here today specifically to check on Lord Wei's health."

"Now it seems that Lord Wei's body does not seem to have any ailments."

"Since your body is fine, then take this opportunity, Lord Wei, to transfer the actual power of Cangyue Prefecture to me."

Seeing Chen Zhiwen being so aggressive, both Wei Wei and Huang Qitong could not help but show anger.

"Your Highness, Lord Wei's son has just died, and you have come to seize power. This is going too far!" Huang Qitong shouted angrily.

Chen Zhiwen smiled mockingly, "Too far? This Cangyue Prefecture is my fief to begin with. It is only reasonable for me to take back my own power. How is that going too far?"

"I gave Lord Wei half a month, which was already being benevolent."

"If Lord Wei still doesn't know what is good for him, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

As the words fell, the expressions of Wei Wei and the other changed, and their eyes could not help but look at Leng Feng beside Chen Zhiwen.

They both roughly guessed that this person should be the mysterious expert beside Chen Zhiwen.

Wei Wei understood that Chen Zhiwen was completely breaking off with him. If he did not hand over the actual power today, he would definitely be killed on the spot by Chen Zhiwen.

After staring at Chen Zhiwen gloomily for a moment, Wei Wei finally unwillingly took out the tiger tally of Cangyue Prefecture from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Zhiwen.

"This tiger tally is the military tally of Cangyue Prefecture. With this, you can mobilize all the troops in the various cities of Cangyue Prefecture."

Chen Zhiwen took the tiger tally, examined it, put it away, and stood up.

Since the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Chen Zhiwen did not stay any longer and walked out with Leng Feng.

After walking out of the main hall, Chen Zhiwen suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Wei Wei: "Lord Wei, I think this Princesss Residence is much better than mine."

"In the next few days, hurry up and pack your things to move out. Given your current status, it is truly inappropriate for you to live here."

After speaking, Chen Zhiwen and Leng Feng left the Princesss Residence without looking back.

In the main hall, Wei Wei sat beside Wei Congnian's corpse, clutching his son's palm tightly, remaining silent.

To the side, Huang Qitong did not dare to provoke him at this time and waited quietly to the side.

After a long time.

Wei Wei wiped away his grief, got up from the ground expressionlessly, "Find someone to bury my son."

"Yes, I will arrange it right away!" Huang Qitong received the order and immediately went to arrange it.

"Wait!" Wei Wei called out to Huang Qitong.

"My Lord, is there anything else to arrange?"

"Help me contact them!" Wei Wei's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he said coldly.

Huang Qitong's face was shocked, then he lowered his waist and said: "Okay, my Lord."

...

That day, the news of Wei Congnian's death spread throughout Gu Cang City, and the common people all clapped and cheered upon hearing it.

There was no funeral, and Wei Congnian was buried in a hurry.

After dealing with Wei Congnian's funeral, Wei Wei appeared to have surrendered. That afternoon, he packed his luggage, took his family, moved out of the Princesss Residence, and settled in a private residence in the city.

After Chen Zhiwen learned the news, he asked Xiaoqing to tidy up, and moved into the Princesss Residence that evening.

In the following days, Gu Cang City was calm.

Seeing that Wei Wei had no intention of revenge, Chen Zhiwen stopped caring about him and spent his days Cultivating in the residence.

As for the sign-in, the System did not reward anything good in these few days.

This night.

Wei Wei had been sitting in the pavilion in the private residence early on, sitting uneasily with a nervous expression, constantly looking outside.

He waited until late at night, just when Wei Wei was about to lose patience.

A biting cold wind suddenly blew, and a man dressed in white clothes, looking like a jade-faced scholar, appeared in the pavilion without warning.

The man fanned the fan in his hand, staring at Wei Wei with a smile: "Lord Wei, long time no see!"

When Wei Wei saw the man, his pupils shrank slightly, and he sat opposite the man with a sullen face, "Why did only you come? Where are the other three?"
