Chapter 249 I'll only give you one last chance

"You clearly know where the first national god placed the treasure that holds the power of the national god, but you didn't tell us. Could it be that you are worried that the status of the Qin family will be threatened after the birth of the national god, so you specially hid the treasure?"

Helian Ziyu put down the tea bowl and stood up from his seat. He walked to stand in front of Qin Xue and said, "Master Qin, you can rest assured. I always like win-win situations. I can guarantee that as long as you hand over the treasure of the national god to me, I will ensure that your Qin family will remain standing in the future."

"Not to mention that I don't have any treasures in my hands, I just want to ask Helian Guoshen, if I don't help you, how are you going to treat our Qin family?" Qin Xue kept staring at Helian Ziyu's eyes, trying to awaken his conscience with words, "Helian Guoshen, as a candidate for Guoshen, you should know that our Qin family is loyal to Guoshen. As long as you are really a candidate for Guoshen, you will get the power of Guoshen one day, and there is no need to rely on the power of treasures."

Helian Ziyu smacked his lips softly: "Master Qin, how I plan to use the treasure left by the national god is my business. You don't have to worry so much. Just hand the treasure to me."

Seeing Helian Ziyu smiling and extending his hand towards her, Qin Xue hesitated for a moment before shaking her head and refusing: "Helian Guoshen, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, but I don't know where the treasure left by the Guoshen is."

After Qin Xue finished saying this, she watched the smile on Helian Ziyu's face disappear.

Immediately afterwards, Helian Ziyu swung his hand and slapped Qin Xue in the face.

"Old thing, did I treat you too well? That's why you have the guts to talk to me in such a presumptuous manner?" Helian Ziyu lifted Qin Xue's collar, stared at her and warned her word by word, "I'll only give you one last chance, do you want to tell me or not?"

Qin Xue's face was burning with pain, but she remained calm: "It's not that I won't tell you, but I really don't know."

The muscles at the corners of Helian Ziyu's mouth twitched fiercely, and he sneered from his nose: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Master Qin, starting from tomorrow, everyone in the Qin family will suffer with you. I will order the jailers in the cell not to give you food and drink. I want to see how long you can keep your mouth shut."

Qin Xue did not make a fuss, she just raised her head and looked at Helian Ziyu with a very calm gaze.

"Helian Ziyu, I have one last question." Qin Xue stared into Helian Ziyu's eyes and asked word by word: "How did you deceive everyone and successfully become a candidate for the national god?"

At this moment, Helian Ziyu felt a sense of panic as if he was being seen through.

However, he was only panicked for a moment before regaining his composure: "Of course I have the blessing of the national god to obtain the power of the national god..."

"Haha." Qin Xue sneered with great disdain, interrupting Helian Ziyu's unfinished words, and looked directly at the guards beside him, "You can take me to the cell now."

The guards looked nervous and looked at Helian Ziyu for his opinion.

Helian Ziyu almost broke his fist: "Take her down!"

After watching Qin Xue being taken away, Helian Ziyu ordered the others: "Search the entire Qin family carefully! Any suspicious items that appear in the Qin family must be sent to me immediately for inspection."

"Helian Guoshen, the Qin family is the family that has protected the Guoshen for generations. Their imprisonment has already caused a lot of public outrage. If we continue to confiscate their property, I am afraid it will cause more dissatisfaction among the people." A cold and pleasant voice sounded, followed by a man in a crimson official uniform walking in from outside the door.

The man had a tall and straight posture, and his loose crimson official uniform gave him an air of dignity. His already cold and narrow eyes were filled with coldness, and he looked feminine but not effeminate. He looked down on everyone with his eyes, making no one dare to look down on him.

When Helian Ziyu saw the man, he did not dare to look down on him at all: "Greetings, Master Shen."

Shen Yaosi's expression remained the same as usual, and he continued the previous topic: "I don't agree to search the Qin family."

Seeing that Shen Yaosi looked like someone who was not easy to mess with, Helian Ziyu said with embarrassment: "Master Shen, I am doing this for the emperor..."

"The national god is not here to share the emperor's worries, but to please him. The Qin family did find some rebellious items, but this does not necessarily prove that the Qin family really has a rebellious heart. Therefore, before we are sure that the Qin family is guilty, we should treat them with courtesy." Shen Yaosi said coldly.

"Since Lord Shen said so, let's do as Lord Shen said. However, even if we don't search the house for the time being, no one can enter and leave the Qin family at will. Let me have my men guard the Qin family first to make sure everything is safe." Helian Ziyu looked at the third-rank official uniform on Shen Yaosi and didn't want to confront this man head-on.

Although he is a candidate for national god, he actually has no official position and no rank. If he really confronts Shen Yaosi head-on, it will be of no benefit to him.

"No need. This time the emperor ordered me and Helian Guoshen to deal with the Qin family's affairs together. Since the Qin family's people were captured by Helian Guoshen, then the Qin family should naturally be guarded by my men." Shen Yaosi said as a matter of course, "Or is Helian Guoshen dissatisfied with me, so he wants to stop me?"

Helian Ziyu never said such words from beginning to end!

Thinking of the entire Shen family behind Shen Yaosi, although he was dissatisfied, he had to endure it: "I'm just worried that Master Shen is working too hard..."

"Don't worry, God Helian. I am willing to do the hard work." After saying this, Shen Yaosi left without looking back.

After he left, Helian Ziyu kicked a chair beside him.

"Everyone in the Shen family is so annoying!" Helian Ziyu said this, took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

The Shen family's status in the court is too high. One Prime Minister Shen is not enough. Shen Yaosi is a rising star among civil officials. He is not only respected in the court, but also known as "impartial and impartial" among the people.

His current position is not enough to shake the Shen family, so he can only endure it temporarily.

"Being patient for a while doesn't necessarily mean I will be patient forever. I will remember anyone who provokes me. I'll have plenty of time to deal with it later." Helian Ziyu said, looking at the guards present, "Even if we can't search the house, it won't stop you from searching the entire Qin family. As I said before, if you find anything suspicious, you must come and report it immediately."

Helian Ziyu waved his hand to let all the guards retreat, but he did not notice that a figure was quietly approaching on the corridor outside the hall.

Helian Ziyu had only drunk half a cup of tea when he saw a servant walk in.

At first glance, the servant looked unfamiliar. Before Helian Ziyu had the chance to ask, the servant bowed first.

"Reporting to the Helian State God, we found a suspicious box in the room of the Qin family master in the backyard."
