Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 343

The people lined the streets to welcome him and cheered him enthusiastically.

At the city gate, Shen Jingyang dismounted, and Shen Wei and the other two took the lead in greeting him.

Shen Wei laughed heartily and patted Shen Jingyang's shoulder heavily.

"Good! Well done! You're a true son!"

Everyone offered their congratulations and praise, and Shen Jingyang responded generously with a hearty laugh.

Shen Wei waved his hand: "Let's go! Let's go back to the manor first! Your mother and I have prepared a banquet at home to welcome you back!"

The procession passed by the city gate in a lively and bustling manner, while the soldiers on the gate looked down with great interest and discussed Shen Jingyang's triumphant return with great enthusiasm.

Above the city gate, a figure in the shadows of the corner tower stared intently at the scene below with utter resentment.

The resentment, jealousy, and unwillingness in Chu Tianming's eyes were like boiling poison, almost overflowing.

He should have been the one to return in triumph!

Shen Jingyang recovered his health, made military achievements, and was highly valued by the court and supported by the people, enjoying boundless glory.

And what about him?

He lost his right arm and his left arm was partially crippled; he couldn't even clench his fist!

Chu Tianming's hatred reached its peak, and suddenly, he revealed a somewhat manic cold laugh.

He's ruined, and probably will never have the chance to return to his former glory, but he will definitely not let Shen Jingyang get away with it!

Anyway, he's a cripple, it's better for him to be dead than alive, so what's there to worry about?

Let's all go to hell together!

Chu Tianming gave a wink to the two men not far away.

The two hesitated for a moment, then picked up the two large buckets they had prepared beforehand and went to the edge of the city wall.

When Shen Jingyang passed by the city gate below, the two seized the opportunity, tilted the large barrel, and poured all the kerosene inside onto the ground!

"Crash!"

Shen Jingyang, who was below, immediately heard the sound of water being splashed and smelled the pungent odor of kerosene!

He reacted extremely quickly, stepping back abruptly and pulling away Wen Shi, who was walking beside him.

But the amount of oil in those two buckets was so large that when it was poured down from above, although it didn't directly hit anyone's head, it splattered all over the stone pavement.

The Shen family members were walking together, and their clothes were splattered with a large amount of oil. Even the soldiers and civilians nearby suffered the same fate, getting splashed with oil to varying degrees.

"what!......"

"What's this!......"

The people around gasped in surprise, not quite understanding what was happening, and instinctively looked up.

Chu Tianming was standing above the city gate, holding a large bundle of thin torches in his left hand. His face was full of madness, and he was laughing hysterically like a madman.

"Go to hell!"

With a flick of his wrist, he scattered the torches like a shower of flowers, throwing them down onto the streets below where the oil had been poured on them!

Kerosene is flammable. If these two large barrels of kerosene catch fire, the fire will be huge and could burn more than half of the people here to death!

The entire Shen family is down there; they all died together, a truly complete family!

Didn't his father say that the Chu family spent one million taels of silver to save his life, and that he should find a way to make up for it?

He eliminated the entire Shen family. That whole Shen family must be worth a million taels of silver, right? Then he won't owe the Chu family anything!
