At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"What about this king or that king? If you dare to disrespect me again, I will make you see your own brains with your own eyes."

Chong Heihu spat and glanced at Xiao Chaogui with disdain in his eyes.

Not only that, the long sword that Chong Heihu had drawn out at some point was already placed on Xiao Chaogui's neck.

Xiao Chaogui, whose arrogance was wiped out by a slap in the face, no longer dared to be arrogant in public after hearing this.

He knelt on the ground trembling with fear, but his eyes kept looking towards the distance on the street from time to time.

"Who sent you here and what is your purpose?"

At this time, Xia Yun walked up to Xiao Chaogui with a rather indifferent look on his face.

The Prince of Dongcheng may be a noble royal relative in the eyes of others.

However, in his eyes, it was no different from an ant on the roadside.

Since the other party dared to come and provoke him, he should be prepared to be trampled to death by him.

But before stepping on the ant to death, Xia Yun still had to figure out the whole story.

"Master Xia... this is a misunderstanding."

With a knife at his neck, Xiao Chaogui uttered a trembling voice.

Misunderstand?

Xia Yun snorted coldly, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This guy came to the inn in a threatening manner and asked for him specifically. Could it be a misunderstanding?

"You have one last chance to speak."

Xia Yun continued to speak, his cold eyes meeting Xiao Chaogui's.

He no longer had the patience to waste time with this little pawn in front of him.

However, Xiao Chaogui obviously did not understand what Xia Yun meant. When he felt Xia Yun's extremely unfriendly tone, he was still thinking about how to get out of this situation.

"Master Xia, this is really a misunderstanding! I have no ill will towards you!"

Xiao Chaogui spoke repeatedly.

Hearing this, Xia Yun shook his head, with a hint of regret on his face.

Jiang Wenzhong, who was standing by, immediately understood what he meant and said indifferently, "Get rid of it."

As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of excitement flashed in Chong Heihu's eyes.

The next moment, silver light fell from Chong Heihu's hand.

An extremely shrill scream was heard in the field!

"what!"

Chong Heihu cut off Xiao Chaogui's entire right hand with one sword, and a large amount of blood splattered at the broken right shoulder!

"My hand! My hand!"

Xiao Chaogui kept screaming and rolling on the ground in agony.

After just a few breaths, blood mixed with mud covered Xiao Chaogui's clothes, making him look extremely miserable.

At this moment, the whole street was silent and all the noisy discussions fell silent.

Almost every onlooker had a look of fear and palpitations on their faces.

Xia Yun actually cut off Xiao Chaogui's right hand! The right hand of a royal relative!

Most people couldn't even believe their eyes!

This includes the empress.

The brief time they had spent together had changed his impression of Xia Yun.

Until this moment.

Xia Yun's cruel methods reminded her of the human bone memorials she saw on the grassland!

This guy has never been a good person!

There was a hint of deep fear in the empress's cold eyes.

"Noisy."

At this time, Xiao Chaogui, who kept screaming, once again aroused Xia Yun's dissatisfaction.

Chong Heihu then kicked out again, knocking Xiao Chaogui unconscious on the spot!

"Hang him up." Jiang Wenzhong continued to give orders.

After receiving the order, several guards quickly stepped forward and tied up Xiao Chaogui, whose arm was broken, tightly with a rope.

Then Xiao Chaogui was hanged outside the Fenglai Inn, on a wooden stake where the sign was originally hung.

At the same time, dozens of white-armored knights on the field were all tied up by Xia Yun's guards.

A group of people knelt down one by one, like dumplings, under the wooden stake on which Xiao Chaogui was hanging.

After doing all this, the sun had completely set and the night enveloped the earth.

In the sky, there was only a bright full moon, illuminating everything in the world.

"Here is one thousand taels of silver for disturbing your business tonight."

In the lobby of the inn, Xia Yun asked Xu Wan'er to hand a silver note to the innkeeper.

"My lord, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Unexpectedly, the innkeeper not only did not accept it, but he immediately knelt on the ground with a look of panic on his face.

In the past half hour, his fate was like a candle in the wind, swaying in the wind.

First, it was Prince Xiao Chaogui who almost took his life.

Although Xia Yun rescued him, he cut off Xiao Chaogui's right hand.

Xia Yun even hung the unconscious Xiao Chaogui on a pillar outside the inn with a rope.

In this way, Xia Yun undoubtedly completely offended the Prince Zhao's Mansion.

As an innkeeper, a small-time figure, he would have a hard time saving his life if he got involved in this kind of situation.

Seeing that the innkeeper was unwilling to accept the money, Xia Yun immediately guessed what he was thinking and gave Xu Wan'er a look.

Xu Wan'er understood what he meant and took out another two thousand taels of silver.

"Boss, here is three thousand taels of silver in total, which is considered as the purchase of your inn by the lord."

This time, Xu Wan'er did not give the innkeeper a chance to refuse and directly stuffed the banknote into his hand.

The innkeeper held three thousand taels of silver in his hand, and his eyes were a little dull for a moment.

Although his inn was located in the capital, it was by no means worth three thousand taels of silver.

As a shrewd businessman, it didn't take long for him to understand Xia Yun's approach.

Xia Yun is saving him.

"Thank you, Lord Xia, for saving my life!"

The innkeeper faced Xia Yun and kowtowed heavily, then immediately took out the inn's deed and handed it to Xu Wan'er.

A cup of tea passed.

The innkeeper disappeared from Fenglai Inn and no one saw him go again.

From the moment Xu Wan'er got the land deed, Fenglai Inn became Xia Yun's property.

What was a little unexpected to Xia Yun was that as time went by.

The number of people watching the excitement on the entire street not only did not decrease, but increased instead.

Maybe it's because they are in the capital, and they may not see such a wonderful drama once in a hundred years.

Some people gathered around the pillar where Xiao Chaogui was hanging, wondering how long he could live.

Another group of people sat under the eaves on both sides of the street, quietly waiting for the situation to escalate further.

Given the current situation, everyone knows that there will be no good outcome for Prince Zhao's Mansion.

As soon as the news that Xiao Chaogui's left hand was cut off reached Prince Zhao's mansion, Prince Zhao would surely be furious.

When King Zhao arrives in person, the situation will be even more exciting than before!

"Miss Xiao, it's not suitable to stay here for long. I'm afraid you'd better leave first."

In the lobby of the inn, Xia Yun's gaze suddenly turned to Xiao Ling'er.

Since he cut off Xiao Chaogui's right hand, Xiao Ling'er hasn't said a word, but she seems to have no intention of leaving.

After ordering a table full of food and wine, he sat down with his maid to drink and eat, just like usual.
