Zhong Daolong had not expected his father-in-law to make such a request of him. Hadn't he just invited Tang Fei to Qianshan as a guest?
A falling-out?
But even so...
Why must the man be killed?
Zhong Daolong's face showed deep concern as he asked in confusion, "What did this young man do to provoke you? To the extent that my father-in-law would travel thousands of miles to have him executed?"
"I want to kill him not for personal grievances, but for the sake of the Empire and the King," Yu Changan said with a grave expression, no longer addressing him as 'son-in-law' but as King, to demonstrate his impartial stance.
"For me?"
"Yes." Yu Yuanshan nodded and declared, "I asked him why he had to deal such a blow to the Lu and Yu Families. He said that all the faults and mistakes were his own doing. If there was to be killing or flaying, he would have no complaints."
