Chapter 1140 - 1136: Fierce and Ruthless Chu Yifeng
Chapter 1140: Chapter 1136: Fierce and Ruthless Chu Yifeng
“Everyone at Song Garden has been dealt with by His Highness,” Mo Yun said, his head covered in cold sweat, trembling uncontrollably.
“Did he kill them all?” Xiao Qingyu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. He knew Chu Yifeng, the master of the ghost market and His Highness, was ruthless and brutal, but to take such a harsh measure was his worst assumption.
Had it actually come to this?
Mo Yun shook his head, “No! His Highness didn’t kill them. They all said that His Highness doesn’t recklessly take lives, but…”
Mo Yun couldn’t continue; he had to ask Xiao Qingyu to go and see for himself.
As Xiao Qingyu followed him to the courtyard, even with all his knowledge and experience, he gasped in shock at the scene before him.
People lay scattered around the courtyard, more horrifying than a pile of corpses!
They were all still alive, but all were mutilated. Some were without arms, some without legs, some without their nose and mouth, some without eyes and ears; the two worst cases had all limbs removed. They had been blinded, had their ears cut off, and tongues removed. By now, they likely couldn’t even shed tears or cry out, unable to express even a desire to die.
Pain, cruelty, bloodshed!
Seeing the look on Xiao Qingyu’s face, Mo Yun explained in his ear, “Those two were the earliest detected under surveillance. Ah Hong, sent by His Highness, specifically pointed this out to me and also said…”
Xiao Qingyu’s breathing became rapid for a moment, “What else did he say?”
Mo Yun bowed his head, and if he hadn’t been with Xiao Qingyu for many years, he might not have had the courage to tell him.
After a long pause, he whispered in Xiao Qingyu’s ear, “His Highness also said, if you, master, are interested in keeping watch, you are most welcome. He keeps many ‘human pigs’ in jars in his basement, which he invites you to join.”
“Heh,” Xiao Qingyu’s gaze sharpened, “True to his reputation as the current Emperor’s brother, and I should even thank him for his generosity!”
He did not kill his people, but tortured them to the brink of death!
He even wanted to turn him into a ‘human pig’?
Did he really think the Xiao family could be bullied and trampled upon at will?
In his anger, Xiao Qingyu threw the fan he liked to the side, shattering it into pieces.
But as he paced a few steps in the courtyard, he suddenly came to his senses, “I must not get angry, this time it was my own negligence!”
The Xiao family had been entrenched in Jiangnan for many years, powerful like local emperors, but Chu Yihan was the true Emperor, and his brother, a revered Prince.
Keeping surveillance on them was already a grave offense!
Chu Yihan had not openly condemned him but had implicitly allowed Chu Yifeng to administer these punishments; it was already showing restraint from moving openly against the Xiao family.
It seems they have far-reaching plans; the Xiao family… must be more cautious now!
The harrowing cries in Xiao Qingyu’s ears made his heart wrench; he ordered Mo Yun, “Take them down for treatment, provide them with consolation money, let them… live out their remaining days in peace.”
Mo Yun bowed, “Yes, master.”
As he and Xiao Qingyu turned around, they saw those two most pitiful people again, who, having had their tongues cut off, could only make distressing squealing noises. Each sound was filled with intense pain; without delving deeper, one could understand the torment and suffering of merely staying alive for them.
Xiao Qingyu stepped in front of them and bowed deeply, “I will take good care of your families, I’m sorry!”
Hearing his voice, the two seemed to perceive salvation, their broken bodies desperately writhing, as if trying to respond.
Xiao Qingyu, holding Mo Yun’s shoulder, said, “Send them on their way, lay them to rest properly.”
