Rebirth of the Tyrant’s Pet: Regent Prince is too Fierce
Rebirth of the Tyrant’s Pet: Regent Prince is too Fierce - Chapter 472: Shocking Move (1)

Gong Jue’s words were like a sharp knife, slashing and cutting Official Liu. His face paled and his lips slightly trembled. Gong Jue even found out about this and announced it to the public. He had no idea how to retort for a moment.

Gong Jue sneered, his clear voice spread to everyone’s ears though.

“You promised your wife that you won’t abandon her for being a fallen woman. Even more, the moment you passed the exam brilliantly, you would even officially marry her, and compensate her for the hardships for the past years. Therefore, she eagerly received the guests and gave you all the silver taels, letting you take exam after exam, making friend after friend. But what did you do to her in the end?”

At this time, Official Liu hollered in a hoarse voice, “She was just unlucky!”

He lifted his head and struggled, saying sincerely to Gong Jue, “Not long after this official passed the exam with brilliant colors, she was infected… with that disease, and died. Otherwise, this official would definitely keep his promise!”

To reveal the truth, he was just ungrateful. He hadn’t really committed a crime. After all, his wife was willing to do this for him. However, Gong Cheng said nothing because with his understanding of Gong Jue, there was no way he just wanted to expose his malicious personality.

As expected, Gong Jue chuckled.

“You’re right. She did indeed die of a venereal disease, but… this prince found out that you were unwilling to marry a prostitute after you passed the exams. Therefore, you bribed Mama Zhou in the brothel and specially arranged for your wife to receive a man with a venereal disease. As expected, your wife got infected not long later and died.”

Not only did Official Liu’s face turned ashen at Gong Jue’s words, but the common people also looked at him in disdain and disgust.

They didn’t expect for the dignified and remarkable head of the secretariat Official Liu to be such a shameless and ruthless man! The majority of the women present looked at him as if he was scum! People cursed him out!

But Gong Jue hadn’t finished his words. He was the type of person that made sure to make the situation as bad as possible for them. He wouldn’t give him any chance to recover!

Therefore, he added in a deep voice, “What a pity that before Madam Zhao died, she still thought that she was just unlucky and volunteered to step down from her position, letting you marry another noblewoman. She just hoped to see you for the last time, but… you were too busy getting married and trying to stay on the good side of them. Even though she volunteered to step down, she was unable to get your pity. She was blocked outside the door many times by your newly married wife. You didn’t even appear once as she was sent to the government office.”

Not only were the common people angry, but even the emperor was indignant. He could tolerate some corrupt officials because no one was perfect. They at least had outstanding skills. Therefore, he just turned a blind eye.

But even such officials with malicious personality could take on the heavy responsibility of bringing peace to the country? He couldn’t help but question this. He felt as though he needed to reconsider the standards of the exam as well as the criterias of officials.

Gong Jue watched as Official Liu was dragged off as people cursed him out. His gaze couldn’t help but land on Minister Zuo. He slightly curled his lips.

Ever since Minister Zuo had accused royal sister, he had been wanting to eliminate him and his people.

He only let them go in the past because he hadn’t offended nor threatened him.

Secondly, their real target was Gong Che. He was about to come back and Gong Jue didn’t want him to ascend the throne that easily.
