Shen Ruyi and her men were fighting fiercely, almost to the point of madness.

She kills one wave after another.

Those who can be treated with medicine will be treated with medicine; those who cannot be treated with medicine will be killed with a knife.

No matter how many come, Shen Ruyi will kill them all.

The group of people who came was a mixed bag, including servants, martial arts practitioners, bandits, and professional assassins.

In the face of true strength, no matter how many people come, they're just free kills.

These families are really willing to spend a lot of money; it's clear they're going all out to kill Shen Ruyi.

It seems many people want Shen Ruyi to die, but she just won't.

She wants to live a good life and kill all the corrupt officials and bureaucrats in the world.

Among those who were placed under house arrest by Shen Ruyi, a few developed drug resistance for some unknown reason and had almost no effect on the muscle-relaxing powder she administered.

After pretending for a while, he realized that the guards were lax and decided to escape.

They waited until nightfall, and while there was a loud commotion outside, they sneaked out, intending to make a runaway.

Fortunately, Shen Ruyi was always quite cautious about these matters, and she often talked to the Shadow Guards about these potential problems and loopholes.

This has made these shadow guards act more cautiously now.

They knew about these people's actions as soon as they made a move, and were immediately placed under surveillance, just waiting for them to make their move.

As expected, they were caught red-handed at the scene, and the individuals were eventually detained separately.

I plan to interrogate them slowly.

Shen Ruyi and her group were busy until dawn before they went back to their rooms for a nap.

As dawn broke, the area outside Qiushui Residence was already in an uproar.

Before long, all the people of Yangque City knew that these people had come to assassinate the King of Donghai.

The reason why the King of the East Sea invited yesterday's guests to stay for a few more days was because he was assassinated on the day of the banquet.

Furthermore, they claimed that the Xu family sent assassins to kill him.

As for the reason, it's because the existence of the East Sea King was blocking the Xu family's path, so she had to be eliminated.

To put it bluntly, it was the Xu family who wanted the King of Donghai dead.

On a personal level, the King of Donghai offended the fifth young lady of the Xu family a few days ago, causing her to lose face, so the family is bound to retaliate.

When it comes to manipulating public opinion, Shen Ruyi has never lost.

The most interesting thing is that after the news spread, everyone believed it.

Because the Xu family is used to being domineering and controlling here, that's how they've always done things.

This is their usual practice, so no one would doubt that the story is fake or fabricated.

Of course, everyone also remembered the joke that had spread throughout Yangque City a few days ago.

That is, the fifth young lady of the Xu family took a fancy to a man on the street and insisted on taking him home.

The man refused and was chased and killed by men sent by the Xu family for several streets.

I never expected that the man would be the King of the East Sea.

Everyone's attention immediately shifted from the mountains of corpses to the gossip surrounding the King of the East Sea.

After all, nothing is as interesting as a scandalous affair when it comes to the dead.

Some people even praised the fifth young lady of the Xu family for her good eye, saying that she could recognize a prince as an outstanding person at a glance on the street.

As a result, public opinion in Yangque City was completely swayed, and few people paid attention to the fact that the King of Donghai had invited guests.

When it comes to telling stories, it's natural to mix truth and falsehood; that way, the stories become more credible.

The King of Donghai was assassinated, which is why they had to seal off Qiushui Residence to search for the murderer.

Therefore, the act of inviting them to continue visiting can be explained.

The area outside Qiushui Residence was already piled high with corpses, lying haphazardly on the ground.

Most of the households, big and small, in Yangque City participated.

The first watchman who discovered it was so frightened that he wanted to report it to the prefect.
