Chapter 1595: Unsafe
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qiu Pusheng didn’t send anyone to say anything. If Qiu Pusheng was the one who did this, he would have killed him immediately after he got the things in the secret chamber. Why did he only knock him out? This was impossible…n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He didn’t see the Emperor sending out an order to arrest him. He didn’t even send people to warn him secretly and ask him to atone for his sins and help get rid of Qiu Pusheng…
Therefore, he decided that it was not Qiu Pusheng, the Emperor, his enemies, or his subordinates.
If they weren’t the ones who did it… who did?
Why did they take away his things?
Fan Jianxi was perplexed
The things in the secret chamber were gone. He did not feel safe no matter how he thought about it.
He wouldn’t foolishly tell Qiu Pusheng that this wasn’t Qiu Pusheng’s doing. Wouldn’t that mean that Qiu Pusheng can learn about his backup plan? He had even lost it. He did not know who had it, but it had become an even bigger hidden danger. Even Qiu Pusheng would not be able to vent his anger if he did not kill his entire family…
The person who took those things from the secret chamber couldn’t have taken them for no reason. He must have planned something… That was to say, he will be exposed sooner or later…
Although Qiu Pusheng was the commander of the army and held great power, he was not the rightful Emperor. It would be difficult for him to usurp the throne. Unlike the Emperor, Shi Yuan, who was orthodox.
Putting aside the resentment of the commoners in Lizhou, it was caused by him secretly collecting heavy taxes. Just in other places, because of the tax reduction, everyone thought the Emperor was good. The Emperor only had the hearts of more than 90 percent of the people…
In addition, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. That was why Qiu Pusheng had planned to ruin the Emperor’s reputation from the very beginning. He would start with Lizhou and then turn the officials in other places into his own people in the future so that the Emperor’s reputation would be ruined in other places as well.
If the two of them fought, the Emperor’s chances of winning were much higher.
At least for the next few years, the Emperor’s chances of winning will slowly decrease with this tactic.
Since that was the case, and the things in the secret chamber would be exposed sooner or later, it might not even happen. Thus, he naturally chose the side with a greater chance of winning.
He decided to secretly tell the Emperor everything and redeem himself!
Even if he had committed too many crimes and his contributions were not enough to offset his crimes, he would still do it for the sake of his own. His wife, son, and uncle should be able to survive.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of running away and hiding, but with so much of his family assets gone, he would not be able to live a good life.
Besides, he couldn’t possibly let his uncle, his wife, and his children escape with him, right? Not counting his daughter, he had quite a few sons as well. Moreover, they were not very old. If they escaped together, there would be too many people and too many targets. Where could they hide? They will be found very quickly. If they escaped, the punishment would be higher once they were caught.
Anyway, he could not run away. His son was his heir, his wife had suffered together with him, and his uncle was like his father. He could not ignore these people.
Therefore, he could choose to do nothing and wait to see what the person who took the things in the secret chamber would do with them. He could be in a passive position and his entire family would be killed by Qiu Pu or the Emperor eventually. On the other hand, he could atone for his sins and make contributions. At least his wife, son, and uncle would be able to live. He naturally chose the second option.
Fortunately, his uncle was the housekeeper of Prince Che’s residence and could see Prince Che directly. Prince Che could also see the Emperor directly. It would not be difficult for him to secretly report everything to the Emperor.
