The Little Husband Who Became the Ghost-Faced King

08

Since the year before last, the Han family, who managed the taxation, had increased the tax to 70% on the pretext that the king needed strong soldiers. In order to deceive his superiors, he killed all those who had disloyalty and became the overlord of the area.

The assassin was originally a daughter of a martial arts troupe. Later, because her family opposed the Han family's heavy taxation, all the members of her family were killed. Only she and a few of her brothers escaped. That's when she thought of seeking revenge on the king.

Idiot. Ye Lin said coldly.

After hearing Wang's evaluation, the man also felt that the assassin was stupid enough, and continued calmly: Recently, because he had his eyes on the Xi family's land, he found an excuse and was chasing after his family, vowing to get his land and wealth.

Having said that, the man paused, looked at his king's face, and seeing that he didn't seem to be angry, he continued: Therefore, the head of the Xi family sent this little brother from his family to the king, hoping that the king could help their family.

After the man finished speaking, he observed the king's reaction and keenly noticed that after he finished speaking, the king, who was obviously not interested, paused for a moment in playing with the jade, and then returned to normal.

Wang looked nonchalantly at the priceless beads in his hand, moving them around like marbles, and did not speak for a long while.

Just when the man thought he would not get a reply, he suddenly heard the man in front of him order: Dispatch a team of light cavalry and go to the north with me in three days.

He didn't care about the lives of those untouchables, but he would not tolerate others using his name to deceive their superiors and subordinates.

The man immediately understood the king's intention and quickly said: If the king wants to punish that bastard who deceives his superiors and subordinates, I will go ahead and save the king the trouble.

Ye Lin just glanced at him calmly without saying much.

The man immediately shut up and apologized: I was too talkative.

Ye Lin looked at his subordinate who had stopped talking, and his gaze moved to the cake again. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and after hesitating for two seconds, he ordered: Prepare another carriage and take the young man from the Xi family with you.

When the man heard the order, his mind moved slightly. He looked up and saw Wang, who had finished giving the order, lowered his head again and was fiddling with the jade out of boredom.

Looking at the pair of indifferent eyes revealed from behind the mask, I didn't dare to say anything more and just responded, "Yes."

He almost overstepped his bounds. How could he guess what the king was thinking?

When Xiji heard someone coming to convey the king's order, he was completely confused. He was clearly living a good life here and had clearly done nothing, so why was he noticed by the Night King, and even specifically asked to follow him when he went out this time?

After the messenger left, Xiji was still a little absent-minded and returned to his yard in a daze. He sat on the stool, looking very sad. He had been here for so long and had never seen the Night King. He even forgot why he came here.

Thinking of the appearance of the Night King in the rumors, he couldn't help but shudder. He didn't know why he was asked to go out with him this time. He was not even sure if he could come back alive.

In the world he originally lived in, the ancient rulers were always dissolute and licentious. Even for a benevolent king, sleeping with anyone he liked was a common occurrence.
