Chapter 735: The Poison Master's Advice
Although Ni Heng's death made Chu Ning very angry, he did not lose his mind.
Especially when Jia Yu took the initiative to offer advice, it made him alert.
People like Jia Yu, who are always trying to please others for no reason, are either traitors or thieves!
Jia Yu seemed to be aware of Chu Ning's vigilance towards him, and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I am now in the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and I can't make any big waves."
"I only offer advice to protect myself. As long as I am still useful to the King of Chu, I can keep my life."
"Of course, if possible, please ask Your Highness the Prince of Chu to take care of my family."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning reacted immediately.
Jia Yu knew that he would never be able to return to Wei in this lifetime, so he wanted to show his talents and save his life.
As for taking care of his family, Chu Ning has not considered it yet.
After all, if it was announced to the public that Jia Yu was killed, the Emperor of Wei might not treat Jia Yu's family well.
"Is that all?"
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, stared at Jia Yu and sneered: "I don't believe this is your real purpose!"
Although what Jia Yu said does make sense and is in line with Jia Yu’s current situation.
But Chu Ning doesn't think so.
Some things are often three parts true and seven parts false.
What Jia Yu said might be true, but perhaps it was just to cover up his real purpose.
"Alas, I really can't hide it from His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu."
Jia Yu sighed, looking helpless: "In fact, ever since I was captured by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I knew that I could only be with the King of Chu in this life."
"Although I don't understand why Your Highness wants to spare my life, I think it should be of some use to Your Highness."
"This time the Fourth Prince used He Qingyun to kill your subordinates. It's clear that he wanted to provoke a dispute between you and the Crown Prince."
"Even if the King of Chu is able to suppress the Crown Prince, he will still be stabbed in the back by the Fourth Prince. I don't want to die before fulfilling my ambitions, so I offer my advice."
It turned out to be for self-protection!
This is consistent with Jia Yu's character.
Although he was the Minister of Justice of Wei, Jia Yu always did things in a flawless manner and protected himself.
This time the Chu Palace was going to take action against He Qingyun. Jia Yu was worried that the Chu Palace would be wiped out in this fight, so he took the initiative to offer advice.
On the one hand, it proves the value of his existence, and on the other hand, it is also a disguised way of saving himself!
Chu Ning reacted and looked at Jia Yu deeply: "You are very good. You have a keen sense and can sense the danger coming."
"However, He Qingyun slaughtered my subordinates. Even though I know that this was a conspiracy by my fourth brother, I still have to kill He Qingyun!"
Even though he knew it was a trick, Chu Ning still wanted to jump.
He must avenge you and seek justice for the soldiers who died in the battle.
Otherwise, who would be willing to work for him, Chu Ning, in the future?
Seeing Chu Ning's firm attitude, Jia Yu did not show any surprise. Instead, his eyes moved and a hint of admiration flashed across them.
Knowing full well that it was a trap set by the other party, Chu Ning was willing to take risks for the sake of his subordinates. Such a person is a truly wise leader.
At this moment, his opinion of Chu Ning was slightly different.
In the past, he thought Chu Ning was only able to take advantage of small things, create some new things, and had some luck to get to this point.
But now, he finally understood that Chu Ning's ability to get to this point was not just due to these.
And sincerity!
Isn't it what a wise leader should be able to treat his subordinates so sincerely?
While admiring in his heart, Jia Yu bowed and said in a deep voice: "I understand how His Royal Highness the King of Chu feels at the moment, and He Qingyun really deserves to be killed!"
"However, this man must have acted on the orders of the Fourth Prince. If Your Majesty kills him for no reason, just to avenge his subordinates, it will surely cause dissatisfaction among the civil and military officials in the court, and the reputation you have worked so hard to build will be destroyed in an instant."
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Lord Jia agrees with me to kill He Qingyun, but he doesn't agree to just kill him like this. Is there any other clever plan?"
Jia Yu's narrow eyes rolled around, and he whispered, "I heard that all the refined salt in Kyoto City is in the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. This time you came to the capital, you must be with the team escorting the refined salt, right?"
Chu Ning nodded slightly: "Indeed."
"This is easy to handle!"
A cold light flashed in Jia Yu's eyes: "Just announce to the public that the refined salt has been robbed, and then search the He family and the city defense camp. Once you find out, Your Highness can take action on the spot!"
Refined salt has been spread throughout many dynasties, and Jia Yu is in charge of the Wei Kingdom's death squad, so it is not surprising that he knows this.
And what he said was a frame-up!
As long as refined salt is found in the He family and the city defense battalion, it can be confirmed that He Qingyun led the city defense battalion to rob refined salt last night.
As long as this matter is not linked to Ni Heng, the Fourth Prince will not be able to interfere.
Moreover, refined salt is of great importance. Even if the He family was massacred for this, the emperor would probably not say much.
Chu Ning's eyes lit up when he heard this: "It's indeed a good idea!"
He took a deep look at Jia Yu, and his tone suddenly became extremely sharp: "Everyone says that Lord Jia is a tough guy. I didn't feel it before, but now I really feel how powerful Lord Jia is."
Jia Yu was shocked and bowed quickly: "I did all this for the sake of the King of Chu, and I have no ulterior motives!"
"You may not have second thoughts now, but there's no guarantee that you won't have second thoughts in the future!"
Chu Ning had a cold face, with a hint of murderous intent on his face: "I will not keep such a dangerous person around."
"Now, you have two choices. Either you submit to me and I will use you. Since you are one of my own, I will not be on guard against you!"
"Or, if you and I are so close yet so distant, I will have no choice but to kill you in order to eliminate the hidden danger!"
After witnessing Jia Yu's viciousness, Chu Ning became worried.
Such people should either be completely subdued or killed outright.
"This……"
Jia Yu was stunned on the spot.
He thought that by showing his talent, Chu Ning would spare his life, but he didn't expect to get into trouble.
It's really a case of being too clever!
Jia Yu smiled bitterly: "It seems that this time I have caused trouble for myself."
Chu Ning said coldly: "I don't have much time. If you don't make a choice within ten breaths, I will send you to death!"
A tough tone, filled with strong murderous intent!
Feeling Chu Ning's murderous intent, Jia Yu knew he had no choice.
"Pfft!"
Jia Yu took two steps back, knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to serve His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but please ensure the safety of my family."
If he worked for Chu Ning, once the news got out, the Emperor of Wei would never let his family go.
Chu Ning glanced at Jia Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and said calmly: "Don't worry, you can stay in this palace for the time being, and you don't need to show up."
"I have an organization under my command called Jinyiwei, which was originally led by Deng Hongwen, but now it is under your command!"
"As for your family, they will not be in danger in the short term. Once you are in charge of the Royal Guards, you can personally command them to rescue them."
After saying this, Chu Ning turned and left, leaving behind a sentence: "Someone, take good care of Lord Jia!"
Once you have a plan, of course you have to implement it immediately.
He won't let He Qingyun live too long!
Anyone who dares to kill Chu Ning must be prepared to have his entire clan exterminated!
