“Looks like I’ll have to let you have a taste of peeling skin and cramping tendons.”

Ji Shuisheng pulled out his luan saber. The saber had a terrifying cold light. The tip of the saber was pointed at Second Lord Wu’s eyes. Even though Second Lord Wu was a fugitive, he still trembled in fear.

Now that he was already in so much pain that he wanted to die, how painful would it be to be skinned alive? It was better to die quickly. Once his psychological defence collapsed, Second Brother Wu could not hold on for a minute.

‘Til talk, I’ll talk…The money bag belonged to a woman. That day, I lost a bet and wanted my money back. I took an axe and looked for a target all over the city. When 1 saw a woman asking about a gold shop, I quietly followed her. The strange thing was that she didn’t go to the gold shop but went to the winery. No one was there, so 1 knocked her out with the axe and dragged her into the alley to snatch the money bag.”

Second Brother Wu only wanted to die quickly and did not hide anything. After saying that, he collapsed like he had been fished from the water.

This matched everything. The woman was the Godmother, and the winery was where the Godmother was killed. Ji Shuisheng punched and kicked Second Brother Wu with extreme hatred, beating Second Brother Wu until he could only vent his anger and not breathe. Only then did Ji Shuisheng drag him to the Godmother’s grave like a dead dog.

Su Qing followed behind him and did not speak or make a move. She held the Godmother’s money bag in her hand. Wu Second’s confession was all in agreement. He was only willing, to tell the truth after being interrogated with torture. However, she felt that something was wrong, but she could not tell what it was.

Ji Shuisheng dragged Second brother Wu to his Godmother’s grave. Zhong Yong had not left yet. He knelt before his mother’s grave and cried as he burned paper. He wanted to spend more time with her, and when he thought that he would never see his mother again, Zhong Yong cried like a child. Qiu Yongkang comforted him by the side. He was worried about Zhong Yong and did not leave.

“Zhong Yong, I found the murderer who killed my godmother.”

Ji Shuisheng threw Wu Laoer to the tombstone of his Godmother and told Zhong Yong that he wanted his good brother to kill his mother’s enemy with his own hands.

When Zhong Yong heard that Second Brother Wu was the enemy who killed his mother, he stood up from the ground. He was already fierce, and his bloodshot eyes were like a god of death. Second Brother Wu was so scared that his entire body went limp, and he trembled as he lay in front of the tombstone. He already knew that he would die for sure. His eyes were filled with fear and despair, and he repeatedly said two words, “Spare me, spare me!”

Zhong Yong’s fists landed on his body like raindrops. Zhong Yong had divine power, and under his anger, his fist had the strength of a thousand pounds. Second Brother Wu spat out a mouthful of blood and dyed the snow in front of the tombstone red.

Zhong Yong was like an angry tiger. He grabbed Second Brother Wu and smashed him again and again. In the end, Second Brother Wu was beaten into a meat patty. He died of a bloody mess and looked outward with wide-open eyes.

Su Qing watched from the side and waited for Zhong Yong to tire before stopping him.

“Alright, leave the rest to me. I’ll burn his bones and scatter his ashes.”

“Mother, Yong’er has avenged you.”

Zhong Yong seemed to have lost all his strength as he knelt before his mother’s tombstone and cried bitterly.

Su Qing picked up the badly mutilated Second brother Wu and placed him on the ground. She crushed his bones and scattered his ashes, leaving no intact corpse. The ancients believed in superstition. Even if they died, they had to have a complete corpse. Otherwise, they would not be able to reincarnate in their next life. This was also the reason why the eunuch wanted to redeem his treasure.

Qiu Yongkang had never seen such a terrifying scene before. He was so scared that his face turned pale. He ran to the side and vomited all over the place. However, he found that Su Qing still did that terrifying thing without changing her expression. He looked at Su Qing with fear in his eyes.

After taking revenge for Godmother, Ji Shuisheng had been accompanying Zhong Yong. Zhong Yong had not eaten or drunk for a few days, and he was so big and thin that he looked disfigured.

After burning his mother’s head for seven days, Zhong Yong slowly recovered from his grief and continued to dig coal in the coal mine. Only by working could he forget his sadness. However, when he left home, he could no longer eat the breakfast that his mother made for him. When he returned home, he could not see the lamp that his mother left for him.

Zhong Yong seemed to have grown up overnight, becoming taciturn.

He would never mention the marriage with Xiaoying. His mother died because of his marriage, and Zhong Yong could not get over it.

With her Godmother dead, Xiaoying had no place to stay. Su Qing decided to bring her to Jingshi Dao. She was at ease with her parents looking after her and Luan Hong accompanying her.

However, Qiu Yongkang’s mother came to find Ji Shuisheng and asked Xiaoying to stay at her house. She would take care of Ji Xiaoying.

Ji Shuisheng disagreed immediately. He went to seek Xiaoying’s opinion first. Xiaoying did not want to leave Mo City for the time being. She wanted to wait until Godmother passed her seventh day before going to Jingshi Dao.

Ji Shuisheng respected his sister’s opinion and let her stay at Yongkang’s house first. In the past, Xiaoying and Mother Yongkang were very close. It just so happened that Qiuyue was no longer around, and Mother Yongkang always missed her daughter. Xiaoying going to her house could also alleviate the old lady’s longing for her daughter.

Most importantly, Ji Shuisheng believed in Qiu Yongkang’s character. His love for Xiaoying was no less than his.

When Yang Zhi came with his men, Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng had not left. Su Hanxuan had entrusted him to look for Su Qing.

Su Qing had been gone for more than ten days. When she left, she didn’t mention when she would be back. Su Hanxuan and Yang Ruxue were worried about their daughter, so they begged Yang Zhi to come to Mo City to look for her.

Su Qing was about to leave as well. Before she left, she had designed a few new weapons for Ji Shuisheng. The weapons that Qu Da had sent to Mo City were conventional weapons like spears and sabers. Su Qing’s weapons were more powerful than spears and sabers. Moreover, she had designed a chariot that could shoot ten thousand arrows simultaneously.

To prepare for the attack on the Imperial City, the strange thing was that the imperial court and Wan Yulin did not send anyone to Mo City. Perhaps it was because of the blizzard that separated them?

However, this also gave Ji Shuisheng a chance to develop. Making black gunpowder in winter was tough, and digging out saltpetre soil to make grenades in freezing weather was impossible. It was difficult for the military forces of Mo City to resist the imperial court’s army.

Why didn’t the imperial court send troops? That was because the Emperor was currently in a terrible state, resisting the siege of the Wan Family Army.

The Emperor thought that he would be able to rest in peace by putting Prime Minister Wan under house arrest and impersonating Prime Minister Wan to send secret letters to Wan Yulin. However, he did not know that there was a secret code between Wan Yulin and Prime Minister Wan. When he received several private letters without a secret code, Wan Yulin knew that something had happened to his father.

He sent people to contact the spies in the capital and learned that his father was under house arrest by the Emperor. On the one hand, he sent people to save his father; on the other hand, he began secretly approaching the Imperial City.

When the Emperor sensed something was wrong, Wan Yulin’s army was already approaching. He hurriedly sent troops to resist, but the Wan Family Army’s influence in the Great Xia Kingdom was too significant. The Emperor’s army was terrified and quickly raised their weapons to surrender.

The Wan Clan Army was at the gates of the Imperial City, and the Emperor sent people to escort Wan Shengchang’s family to the city walls, forcing Wan Yulin to retreat.

Unexpectedly, Wan Yulin’s elite troops had infiltrated the Imperial City, rescued Prime Minister Wan, captured the Emperor alive, and flattened the capital.

The once high and mighty Emperor had become a prisoner and was tortured. At this time, the Emperor finally remembered Xiao Heng’s kindness. Unfortunately, he had killed all the loyal officials, and no one could come to save him.

After the new Emperor ascended the throne, he would wipe out the entire Imperial Family, including the previous Crown Prince Ming Heng. Those royalists had no choice but to obediently submit when they saw Wan Shengchang’s ruthlessness.

The Great Xia Kingdom changed dynasties, and Wan Shengchang ascended the throne. However, before the previous Emperor died, he said a piece of news that made him unable to sleep and eat in peace. It made him feel that this Emperor was not stable either..
