Zhao Zhenyuan's eyes were about to burst out as he heard this. He could no longer control his anger and pinched hard. Gui Lanting felt a sharp pain in his neck. He stared at Zhao Zhenyuan with wide eyes in disbelief, and slowly closed his eyes with resentment and resentment in his eyes. However, there was no regret in those resentful eyes.

I didn’t expect Zhao Zhenyuan to really kill Gui Lanting. It took me a long time to come back to my senses, and I murmured, “If you kill Gui Lanting, Grand Tutor Gui will not let you go.”

Zhao Zhenyuan threw Gui Lanting away and said coldly: "Why would I be afraid of him?"

At this moment, there were bursts of screams coming from outside the house. Before the people outside could rush in, Zhao Zhenyuan strode forward to the dragon and phoenix bed and pulled the man who was still shivering in the quilt down.

But when Zhao Zhenyuan saw the man's face clearly, his hands trembled and he almost dropped the person in his hand.

I noticed Zhao Zhenyuan's surprise and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Zhenyuan pulled the man in front of me and said with a sullen face, "He is Zhou Bao, the second prince of Xihe State."

When the man heard this, he immediately shouted, "I am not the Second Prince. Please, please let me go. I was just bewildered for a moment. I am not a bad person."

I sneered and said, "Bewitched for a moment? Zhao Shuping is already six years old, do you need to be a little thicker-skinned?"

When Zhao Zhenyuan heard this, he kicked the man in the stomach in anger, causing him to scream in pain. He never dared to say that he was not Zhou Bao again.

Zhao Zhenyuan said: "Seven years ago, Zhou Bao was expelled from the country by the King of Xihe for murdering the crown prince Zhou Min. Unexpectedly, he ran to Dayu and hid there."

I glanced at Zhou Bao and said bluntly, "You are wrong. You should say that he came to your house to seduce your wife."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhenyuan's face immediately turned as black as an inkstone. He kicked Zhou Bao in the stomach again. Zhou Bao spat out a mouthful of blood in such pain that he couldn't even scream.

I was just about to ask Zhao Zhenyuan how to deal with Zhou Bao when Cao Ye rushed in with a team of guards.

Cao Ye's clothes were somewhat disheveled. He was probably woken up from his sleep and had no time to dress up.

Cao Ye was shocked when he saw Gui Lanting and Zhao Shuping lying on the ground. He asked without even saying hello, "General Zhao, you actually killed your wife and son?"

When Zhao Zhenyuan saw this traitor who was aiding and abetting the tyrant, he was so angry that he kicked Cao Ye.

Cao Ye was kicked and flew out, hitting the door panel. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

As the Minister of Dali Temple, Cao Ye held great power and had the support of Grand Tutor Gui. He was used to being arrogant in the capital. He was the only one who beat and scolded others, and no one dared to disrespect him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhenyuan kicked him out without saying a word. His delicate body was kicked so hard that he was dying.

Cao Ye's guards were all dumbfounded. Zhao Zhenyuan was famous as a god of war, and no one dared to trouble him. But Cao Ye fell to the ground, twitching and rolling his eyes. If a doctor was not called, he might die, but no one dared to step forward to help Cao Ye.

Zhou Bao was frightened by Zhao Zhenyuan's ruthlessness. He felt that his life might end here today. In order to survive, he shouted, "What are you still doing there? There are only two of them. Let's go together and kill them!"

Zhou Bao underestimated Zhao Zhenyuan, and even more so my ruthlessness. I picked up the axe and hit Zhou Bao's thigh. With a "snap" sound, Zhou Bao's leg bone broke. The severe pain made Zhou Bao scream, and his eyes almost popped out.

I held the axe and shouted at Zhou Bao, "If you keep yelling, I'll break both of your legs."

Zhou Bao looked at me hatefully, his eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

I said to Zhao Zhenyuan, "Let's ask the Iron Cavalry to clean up the scene. We can't let any of these people go."

Zhao Zhenyuan nodded, threw Zhou Bao aside, walked to the window, took out a cloud-piercing arrow, opened the bracelet, and the cloud-piercing arrow flew into the sky with a "whoosh".

The two houses were not far apart, and hundreds of cavalry soldiers quickly arrived.

As soon as the Iron Cavalry entered Cao's mansion, they took control of everyone in the mansion, even their family members.

Zhao Zhenyuan would not do anything to confiscate the property, so he sent someone to the palace to report to the emperor. Soon, Zheng Yan arrived with a team of imperial guards.

When Zheng Yan saw me, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Ah Man, why are you everywhere?"

I also smiled and said, "I've captured two important figures from Xihe Kingdom for you tonight. I'm afraid His Majesty will be very happy."

Zheng Yan glanced at Zhou Bao, who was curled up on the ground, nodded, and said, "Ah Man has indeed made an indelible contribution to the capture of Zhou Wu and Zhou Bao. The emperor will definitely reward you handsomely."

I thought about the two shops with a monthly income of one million that Zheng Xian gave me. This was probably the biggest reward in the world. If I asked Zheng Xian for more rewards, I would seem greedy.

So I waved my hands and said, "Your Majesty has given me enough. I don't want any more."

Zheng Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this and said, "Father always said that people in the world only want to get rewards from him. Only you, Ah Man, think that you have received too much reward."

After Zheng Yan finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Zhenyuan, who looked as if he was dead, and couldn't help but restrain his smile. He said solemnly, "General Zhao, please accept my condolences."

When Zhao Zhenyuan heard this, his body, which had been holding on tightly, suddenly felt like a deflated balloon. With a puff, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes turned black, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

I was so scared that I immediately shouted, "Come quickly, send General Zhao back home."

Also returning home with Zhao Zhenyuan were the bodies of Gui Lanting and Zhao Shuping.

Those old women and maids I killed were dealt with by Zheng Yan, and they won't leave me any trouble.

As for Zhou Bao, he was taken back to the palace by Zheng Yan and handed over to the Privy Council. A fate worse than death awaited him.

Cao Ye was able to become the Minister of Dali Temple, so his means of amassing wealth were extraordinary. Zheng Yan carried out the gold and silver treasures confiscated from the family and filled the entire yard. It is said that there were countless silver bills and precious medicinal materials. The Ministry of Revenue sent almost half of its staff, and it took a whole day to count them all.

Zhao Zhenyuan woke up at dawn after sleeping. Doctor Sun came to check his pulse, prescribed a detoxification prescription, and gave him several bottles of detoxification pills. After Zhao Zhenyuan woke up, he drank the medicine and ate the pills, and his health improved a little. However, due to excessive grief and anger, coupled with the poison attacking his heart, he could not get out of bed for a while.

Doctor Sun said that in his case it would be best for him to rest in bed for a few days and not to overwork himself.

Gui Lanting and Zhao Shuping died. Although their deaths were not glorious, they were still the mistress and young master of the general's mansion. For the sake of their reputation, their funerals had to be grand.
