Chapter 2175 - 2179: Jiu Niang Seizes the Throne

"Okay, I trust you this time. I'll come to find you in two months. I hope you don't go back on your word."

Ultimately, Qin Tian decided to trust Sima Tianchen. Although he didn't know the current level of Sima Tianchen's cultivation, he was confident that even if Sima Tianchen deceived him today, the next time he found him, he could take revenge!

"Young Master, did you kill Sima Tianchen?"

Upon seeing Qin Tian return, Gongsun San-niang was curious because she had been keeping an eye on Sima Tianchen's mansion but hadn't seen any signs of a fight.

"I let him go."

Qin Tian's words left Gongsun San-niang stunned. Previously, Qin Tian had been adamant about avenging his father's death, yet after going in, he directly let the murderer go?

"You find it strange, don't you? I chose to believe his words. Let's see; in two months, everything will be revealed."

Qin Tian said, "Let's rest tonight. Tomorrow, we'll plan how to deal with the Dragon Slayer Department. From your perspective and mine, we must teach them a lesson this time."

"Dragon Slayer Department? How do we deal with them in the Imperial City?"

Gongsun San-niang was taken aback after hearing Qin Tian's words, "They're searching for us everywhere. If we attack, isn't that walking right into their trap?"

Qin Tian smiled faintly, "In the Imperial City, apart from a few old fellows who might restrain me, those small fry in the Dragon Slayer Department, hmph, I could kill a pile with a single strike! We'll discuss it tomorrow; for now, let's sleep!"

In Qin Tian's mind, he really didn't regard the Dragon Slayer Department highly.

Initially, he didn't want to escalate matters and didn't want to stoop to the level of the Dragon Slayer Department.

But now, the Dragon Slayer Department not only wants to hunt them down everywhere but also made it impossible for Gongsun San-niang to stay in the Imperial City, greatly impacting the Gongsun family.

The impact on the Gongsun family also affected Qin Tian's intelligence network in the Imperial City.

This cannot be tolerated!

They must give the Dragon Slayer Department and Emperor Xuan a warning!

The next day, Qin Tian asked Gongsun San-niang to contact reliable members of the Gongsun family, pack up, and move out of the imperial mansion to head to the West Capital.

"Family Head, currently, the Gongsun family is already under Gongsun Jiuniang's control. She was appointed the new Family Head by the Dragon Slayer Department and is starting to root out dissent. Now the Gongsun family's power has significantly decreased. Some regional branch leaders do not acknowledge her because she wasn't chosen through a family conference and have announced their separation from the Gongsun family."

One of Gongsun San-niang's trusted aides said to her.

Biting her lip, Gongsun San-niang said, "Gongsun Jiuniang, I knew she had ambitions. Hmph, I never thought she'd choose to side with the Dragon Slayer Department. It's utterly disgraceful!"

"Yuyan, take everyone to the West Capital City. Follow this address and find City Lord Duan Xiaodao there. He will arrange a place for you all. I'm preparing to establish another Gongsun family in the West Capital City to defeat this parasite, Gongsun Jiuniang!" Gongsun San-niang said solemnly.

The woman called "Yuyan" paused, surprised, "Family Head, you want to develop in the West Capital? But we're unfamiliar with the West Capital. Is City Lord Duan Xiaodao reliable?"

Gongsun San-niang glanced at Qin Tian standing in the distance and nodded, "Absolutely reliable. Not only is he the City Lord of the West Capital, but we also know Emperor Qin from Qin Country... He will help us. Just go ahead. When the time comes, present this letter to City Lord Duan Xiaodao."

"Alright, Family Head, you... aren't coming with us?"

"I have other matters to handle but will join later. You go first."

A total of over thirty people escaped from the Imperial City's Gongsun family, all of whom were Gongsun San-niang's direct lineage.

Originally, Gongsun San-niang had over fifty direct lineage members at her mansion.

Unfortunately, after Gongsun Jiuniang took power, she rooted out dissent, secretly killing more than ten people, leaving Gongsun San-niang in a constant state of fury.

"Young Master, I want to kill Gongsun Jiuniang from the Gongsun family. She's a traitor; I can't tolerate it. She killed several of my valuable aides."

Gongsun San-niang directly said to Qin Tian.

"Unexpected indeed, that there's a day when you have the courage to kill. Haha, alright, I'll lend you a hand. Today, we'll kill Gongsun Jiuniang and then Cao Shixun. I want to see who in the Imperial City can stop me!"

After deciding, Qin Tian took Gongsun San-niang into the Imperial City. Following a change of appearance, they came directly to the Gongsun family's mansion.

For them, the Gongsun family's mansion was familiar territory. Taking advantage of the night's arrival, they easily sneaked in.

At that time, the rear courtyard of the Gongsun family's mansion was holding a trial assembly.

The two women kneeling in the courtyard, with faces covered in blood, were Gongsun San-niang's personal maids, Huanhuan and Qiu'er!

Seeing them from afar, Gongsun San-niang clenched her fists, trembling with anger.

Qin Tian held her hand, whispering, "Don't rush. Let's see what she's trying to do."

Then they heard Gongsun Jiuniang, standing proudly in front, angrily scolding Huanhuan and Qiu'er, "You two bitches! Are you ungrateful brats! Did Gongsun San-niang collude with the rebels? Did she conspire with Long Yin? You must know! I'll give you one last chance to speak the truth or die! If not, I'll skin you alive!"

"No, no..."

Huanhuan sobbed, "The Family Head hasn't betrayed the Gongsun family..."

Smack!

Before Huanhuan finished speaking, a fierce maid beside them slapped her face heavily, cursing, "You scoundrel! What Family Head? Gongsun San-niang is a traitor! The real Family Head, look closely, is right before you! You seek death!"

Smack!

The vicious woman said, slapping Huanhuan again, causing blood to spill from her mouth.

Huanhuan's personality was gentle, in contrast to Gongsun San-niang's other maid, Qiu'er, who was much more outspoken and defiant. She furiously said, "Jiuniang, you clearly conspired with the Dragon Slayer Department to seize the Family Head position! Hmph, and now you want us to slander the Family Head? You're dreaming! Falling into your hands today, we've never expected to survive. Do what you will! Our Family Head will avenge us!"

Smack! Smack!

Qiu'er continued speaking, receiving two slaps from the vicious maid, leaving her face swollen, blood gushing from her mouth.

"Hmph, hmph, indeed. Gongsun San-niang, that traitor, has indeed raised two loyal dogs like you. Hmph hmph, since you refuse to speak the truth, I won't hold back anymore. Drag them away, throw them into the vicious dog cage, and feed them to the dogs!" Gongsun Jiuniang sneered, her tone suddenly cold.

"Our Family Head will avenge us, Gongsun Jiuniang, you'll die a horrible death!" Qiu'er shouted as she was dragged away.

Gongsun Jiuniang raised an eyebrow, "Revenge? Hmph hmph... Gongsun San-niang now, like a stray dog, seeking revenge? In this lifetime, she won't have the chance!"
