However, just as they walked out, cries of exclamations could be heard from other parts of the manor. There was also soone who was running over to this side while exclaiming.
“Oh no! Oh no! Captain, the, the…” The person who had co to report was a guard, but as he was running in a hurry and in shock, he was out of breath by the ti he was standing in front of everyone.
The Captain of the guards glanced outside and when he faintly heard the chaos outside, he asked with a stern face: “What’s going on? Speak slowly.”
“Eleventh Master and three other Grand Uncles, they’re all dead!” The guard said with a pale face, his heart beating wildly.
This, this ant sothing big was going to happen! Five people were killed in one night, and all of them were from the sa generation as the Patriarch. They all had good statuses in the family too, and now they were all killed quietly and they didn’t even know who had done it. When did their Sun Manor beco a place where killers could co and go freely?
Upon hearing what the guard had said, the Captain’s expression changed and he asked imdiately: “Then what about the Patriarch? Where are the Clan
Elders? Go and report to them quickly!”
“Yes yes!” The guard responded and hurried away again.
The Captain strode into the room with a sullen face. The woman had already hastily put on her clothes and was huddled in a corner. The Third Master who was dead was lying on the bed naked with only a quilt covering him.
He stepped forward and checked but found no fatal wounds on his body. The only fatal wound was his skull that had been crushed to pieces. This revelation made his heart sink and he turned around to look at the woman who was huddled at the side and asked in a calm voice: “Madam Hong, did you see who killed Third Master?”
The woman was the Third Master’s concubine, and it was precisely because of this reason that they hadn’t dared to not retreat for fear of losing their lives. “No, no, when I woke up Third Master was already dead, woohoohoo…’
The woman covered her face and cried. She was both shocked and ashad. She was shocked that the man she was being intimate with had died on top of her like that, and when she opened her eyes, she saw his eyes wide open and blood coming out of his nose and mouth. She was so frightened and shocked. She was also ashad that the guards had seen her naked body. How would she be able to hold her head high in the future?
When she thought of the man who she could rely on was dead, and that the First Madam might take the opportunity to execute her, she cried even more pitifully and beca even more frightened.
“Get Third Master dressed, and leave two guards behind to guard him. The others, follow !” He shouted in a deep voice then turned around and walked out quickly.
Sothing big had happened in the manor, so the Clan Elders had been woken
up and were gathered in the main hall one by one. However, the Clan Elders looked around but didn’t see their Patriarch appearing. They were startled and asked in a trembling voice: “Where is the Patriarch? Where is the Patriarch?
Could the Patriarch also…’
Such a major thing had happened and all the Clan Elders were gathered here but where was the Patriarch? Could sothing have happened?
When they thought of this possibility, the most senior Clan Elder shouted quickly: “Hurry! Follow to take a look!”
Everyone rushed out chaotically once again. With chaotic footsteps and anxious expressions, they hurried over to the main courtyard. When they arrived at the main courtyard, they saw a guard banging on the door and shouting. The Great Elder stepped forward.
“What’s going on? Where is the Patriarch?”
As soon as the guard saw him, he bowed quickly and stepped away saying; “When subordinate ca to report, I only shouted from outside and reported the matter before waiting for Master to respond.. I just found out that the Patriarch hasn’t left his room yet, so…”
