Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
A human head fell out of the brocade box. Its eyes were wide open in reluctance, and its mouth was bared, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. This ferocious scene suddenly entered his eyes, scaring the servant who poured the night waste so much that he sat on the ground and watched as the night waste spilled all over the human head.
It was over; he had caused trouble!
The servant’s first thought was to hide the head quickly, but his fear of his master was so deep that he did not dare to approach. He looked at the human head covered in feces in fear.
Just as the servant was staring at the human head, the vegetable farmer and the butcher came to the back door of the Prince’s mansion one after another. They smelled a foul smell. The first thing everyone saw was the servant’s ashen face and terrified eyes. Following his dazed gaze, they saw the human head on the ground, stained with feces and urine.
“Kill... He’s here!”
The timid vegetable farmers threw down their burdens and ran out of the alley when they saw the head. The butchers were brave, but they did not dare to go forward. They even wished that they were blind and did not see this scene.
The Prince’s mansion killed people like killing an ant, but even so, he didn’t want anyone to know what he had done. The butcher was afraid of being killed, so he covered his eyes and retreated.
“I didn’t see anything, I didn’t see anything!”
After saying that, he picked up the meat and ran away. When the farmer saw that he had run away, he picked up the burden and ran after him. Fortunately, he escaped in time. As soon as they left, the kitchen manager left the courtyard. Every day at this time, the person who delivered the vegetables and meat would come. Then he would come out to check. This was an opportunity to make money, so he had been very active.
He smelled the stench as soon as he arrived. The steward covered his nose with his sleeve in disgust. When he saw the servant sitting on the ground and trembling like a fool, he was so angry that he kicked him and scolded him in a low voice,
“Friday, why did you spill the night waste all over the floor? Hurry up and clean up. If the butler sees this, he’ll beat you up.”
Zhou Wu only regained his senses after being kicked. He pointed at the head and said to the manager,
“King... Your Highness.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? How could His Highness return from Luo City?”
The steward did not believe it at all. When the two servants behind him saw the head on the ground, they were so scared that they shouted and retreated. They pointed at the head and shouted,
“General Manager Su, ...head.”
“Who is so bold? How dare you place the head at the back door of the Imperial Residence?”
General Manager Su cursed and turned around to order the two servants:
“Hurry up and take the head away so that it won’t offend the nobles in the residence.”
“... It’s Wangye, it’s Wangye...”
Wu Zhou knelt on the ground and cried out,
“General Manager Su, save me, save me!”
“What’s wrong, and why are you crying?”
Wan Yulin’s heart sank when he saw his grandson crying like this. He kicked his grandson down and stopped him from crying.
Wan Qingzhi’s eldest son couldn’t continue speaking. He cried and fell to the ground.
“Father’s head was chopped off, and his skin was used to...I did...”
When Wan Yulin heard his eldest grandson’s words, he took a few steps back before stabilizing his body. He panted heavily, his eyes as black as ink. He squeezed out the words from between his teeth with killing intent,
“Little brat of the Xiao clan, you dare...”
The eldest grandson cried as he knelt on the ground and crawled before Wan Yulin. He handed him a letter.
“Imperial Grandfather, this letter was sent with Father’s head!”
When Wan Yulin went to receive the letter, he smelled a foul stench. The letter was still stained with feces and yellow urine. The hatred in Wan Yulin’s eyes intensified. How could he humiliate his eldest son like this? The Xiao family’s child was too much!
“Read it.”
Wan Yulin did not take the letter and ordered the head eunuch to read it.
When the head eunuch heard that the Emperor wanted him to read it, he was so scared that his face turned pale. However, he did not dare to disobey the imperial edict. He could only take the smelly letter and open it. When he saw the letter’s contents, he did not dare to read it out. He was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard.
“Emperor, this servant doesn’t dare to read it.”
“I forgive you.”
Wan Yulin placed his hands behind his back, his Adam’s apple bobbed vigorously, and flames seemed to be about to shoot out of his eyes.
Wan Yulin did not want to admit the fear in his heart. His son had many years of experience in fighting with the army and even brought a powerful killing weapon. He could not even defeat the Xiao family’s child.
The Xiao family’s child had already become a threat to his country.
The eunuch trembled as he read out the contents of the letter. It was concise and comprehensive, with only one short sentence:
“I will kill your son today and chop off your head in the future. Everything you did to my father in the past will be repaid!”
The words were written strikingly, carrying a murderous aura!
After Wan Yulin heard this, he kicked the head eunuch away and kicked him to death with hatred.
His eyes were bloodshot as he ordered through gritted teeth,
“Call Qian Jinhai over.”
He wanted to lead the army personally!
