To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.

To be honest, from the moment he saw Duan Shen in prison, Liu Qi felt regretful.

At the beginning, Ma Benliu smuggled salt and thought that all he wanted was to pull Duan Yinbo off the horse. As for the rest of the Duan family, there was nothing to worry about at all.

Moreover, he didn't say that he had forced Duan Yinbo to death, so what happened to the Duan family, he wouldn't have any deep hatred for himself.

Not.

Liu Qi underestimated the small role of the Duan family, and it can also be said that he underestimated the small role of the Duan family and their dependence on power.

Although Duan Yinbo's life was saved, his power was gone. For the Duan family, this is even more uncomfortable than killing them.

And this hatred naturally fell on Liu Qi's head.

Therefore, because of this incident, Liu Qi also understood a truth, for his enemies, he should never have any luck mentality.

Either you don't do it, or you have to do it! This is the law of survival in the court of the jungle.

From the moment he saw Duan Shen, Liu Qi was slightly surprised.

He was too calm, as if he had expected it.

"Hmph, I really didn't expect that after so many years of being a prison officer, it is the first time I have seen someone come out of the prison safely."

"Don't say anything, kill or chop, whatever you want."

Unexpectedly, this villain is still a hard bone.

Liu Qi felt very unhappy, his indifferent attitude, if he simply killed him, it would be difficult to understand the hatred in his heart.

"Duan Shen, do you think this king will let you die so easily?"

Listening to Liu Qi's threat, Duan Shen sneered without even frowning.

"I've been a warden for so many years, and I've never seen any kind of torture, so come on, just say hello to the laborers."

Liu Qi smiled and nodded.

"Okay, come on, take him away for me."

Just when Duan Shen thought that the prince wanted to let people take him to prison to be punished, but he didn't.

With doubts in his heart, it didn't take long for Duan Shen to be taken to the compound of the original Duan family, which was also Duan Yinbo's previous mansion.

When the gate opened, Duan Shen was dumbfounded, only to see that the old and young of the Duan family were all kneeling in the courtyard, and on both sides, there were soldiers in armor.

"Liu Qi, you kind of come to me alone, it's you who was provoked by labor and management, what does it have to do with the rest of my Duan family?"

Duan Shen was really anxious, he didn't expect that Liu Qi would do such a desperate job.

Liu Qi ignored him and walked straight to the Duan family.

As Liu Qi approached, the people of the Duan family began to tremble, and the children were also made to cry by this oppressive atmosphere.

"Let's put it this way, this king has no hatred for your Duan family, and Duan Yinbo's fall from the horse is all because of the crimes committed by that Ma Benliu, and it is just a matter of business."

"But this king didn't expect it, it was him, this one of your Duan family, actually relied on his little power to declare a personal vendetta against this king. If things hadn't changed, I'm afraid this king would have suffered from him. ”

"You say, should this king let your Duan family go?"

When he said this, Liu Qi bowed his body and moved closer to the people of the Duan family.

"Your Highness spares your life! It's all Duan Shen's own opinion, and it has nothing to do with us! ”

"Yes, Your Highness, you can do whatever you want with Duan Shen, from now on we are willing to retreat to the mountains and forests, and we will never set foot in Kyoto again."

Liu Qi chuckled lightly and looked back at Duan Shen.

"Hear it, this is the Duan family you maintain, you don't have a pity for them!"

is the so-called murder and punishment.

Liu Qi's words made Duan Shen's face no longer have any of the arrogant appearance as before.

It gives a feeling of extreme disappointment.

But for Liu Qi, this is simply not enough.

"I'm sorry, since some things have been done, then they must pay the due price."

"If this king is not wrong, there are people here who are involved in the smuggling of salt by Ma Benliu, right?"

"Also, during the reign of this king, among you people, there were several times when you met with Duan Ying......"

Speaking of which, some people were already in a cold sweat, and even worse, they were kneeling forward while shouting.

"Your Highness, I did meet with Duan Jian, but I definitely didn't talk about anything about your Highness."

Liu Qi's eyes narrowed.

"Oh? Really? But how did this king hear, you still found someone to inquire about the situation in the East Palace of this king. ”

Hearing this, the Duan family, who was still mourning and begging, instantly became numb. His mouth squirmed for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

"Come on, cut down all the people on this king's list!"

"Oh, by the way, before you die, this king also wants to tell you that if it weren't for the things that Duan Shen did, you would never have fallen to the point where you are today."

To put it bluntly, your death is all because of Duan Shen.

No matter how the people of the Duan family wailed and howled and begged for mercy, Liu Qi's eyes did not have the slightest pity.

When the first Duan family fell to the ground, Duan Shen's face turned white.

In just a few moments, nearly ten people from the Duan family fell in a pool of blood.

When the others saw this scene, some were speechless in horror, some were crying, and some kept slamming their heads on the ground.

For all this, Liu Qi seemed to have not seen it.

Do you want to say that the people of the Duan family are wronged? Not all, but to say that they are innocent.

After Zhang Dehai's investigation, during the period of imprisonment, the Duan family did not make any small moves.

Today you pity them, but when you lose power one day, these people will not have any mercy on you.

At this time, among the remaining Duan family, there were only a few young people, and the rest were some women, children and the elderly.

Liu Qi is ruthless, but he hasn't done it yet, to the point of being extremely cold-blooded.

"How about Duan Shen, are you still satisfied with this result?"

"Liu Qi, kill me!"

Liu Qi shook his head and chuckled.

"No, no, no, you forgot what this king told you, how could you let you die so easily?"

"Someone! Take him away! ”

Duan Shen was very stunned, he didn't understand what Liu Qi was going to do.

But when he walked outside the courtyard, the moment the door of the house was closed, Liu Qi's words instantly made him sit on the ground.

"Your Highness, what should you do with those people inside?"

"The emperor has an order, the Duan family and others are involved in the smuggling of salt, and the three clans are yi!"

The three Yi clans, that is to say, all the people in this courtyard, will not be let go.

At this moment, Duan Shen felt that Liu Qi was terrible.

His torture of himself was even more uncomfortable than a thousand cuts against him.

"Your Highness, what about him?"

"Send him to the prison, tell the warden, and serve him with torture, but don't let him die."

"Liu Qi, kill me! Kill me! Kill me! Hahaha, kill..."

In an instant, Duan Shen's spirit collapsed, and he looked crazy when he spoke.

Looking at his back as he was taken away, Liu Qi took a deep breath.

This small revenge can be regarded as revenge, but this big revenge that can put himself in prison should be liquidated.

However, when Liu Qi went to Poria Palace, Yang Mi's words made Liu Qi feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
