Wei Zhao said flatly, "It’s said that Shangjing is prosperous, and people outside are eager to get in. They don’t know that those inside are trapped, unable to escape."
"The Duke Shun Mansion has great rits overshadowing the ruler. My father, my grandfather, and the ancestors of the Wei Family were all prominent figures, yet they did not have much greed."
But once in that position, they were not free to act as they wished.
Resigning from office was not a wise move.
To hold power is to be a thorn in the emperor’s side, but what if one has no power?
Then one becos an ant that anyone can trample, crushed to death.
Chi Yu didn’t understand at the ti.
Anyway, whatever the General said was correct.
Back then, the General concealed his ambitions, hiding his sharpness.
But ever since he privately returned to Shangjing three months ago, his spirit gradually sank.
And then... he chose to end his own life.
Chi Yu didn’t know what exactly happened. But he just felt that all those with the surna Ying owed the General!
They all deserved to die!
Suppressing his emotions, he gave a deep bow to Ying Yin, "Thank you, Fifth Prince."
However, just before they were about to leave, a giant creature appeared in the mourning hall.
The White Tiger raised by Wei Zhao, no one knew when it snuck in, was now sitting by the coffin, eating the offerings.
Official: "This... is improper, improper. The offerings were prepared by the General. How could it eat them?"
The Wei Family Army said, "No problem."
"The General loved Fu ng the most, often letting him eat at the table."
The offerings were not tasty, Fu ng took a few bites and couldn’t swallow anymore.
Feeling disdainful, it tossed them aside.
The pitiful fruits rolled on the ground several tis.
Fu ng thought for a mont and then picked them up again, walked towards the silent Xiao Huaian, and handed them over.
Xiao Huaian: "I won’t eat."
"Take them to the person in the coffin."
Fu ng scratched the ground irritably, "Roar!"
Xiao Huaian: "Oh, the fruit you disdain is not worthy of Wei Zhao, is it? Do you think I’m a scavenger?"
Xiao Huaian almost laughed in anger.
But then thinking about who raised it, it wasn’t surprising. Just as annoying as Wei Zhao!
"Why eat? How can you have the nerve to offer it?"
"So Wei Zhao is too noble to eat, but I am okay to eat? I was the one who took care of you. You ungrateful animal."
Saying this, his voice softened.
Earlier, not seeing Fu ng, he thought after Wei Zhao’s incident, the tiger must have returned to the mountains.
Seeing it now, it would be false to say there were no emotions.
"Turns out, you would co looking too."
"Is it that you can’t let go?"
No.
Fu ng didn’t want to co either.
It just wanted to be near Wei Zhao.
It had been in a bad temper these past days.
It waited outside its new ho for a long ti last night.
It almost climbed over the wall!
But it had been assigned a task!
Just then, a guard ca rushing in from outside.
"Fifth Prince, there’s a problem."
These words made everyone’s spirits tense up.
The crowd outside the post station was packed, was there trouble there?
The guard respectfully: "Landlord Dong had an incident, all ten fingers were bitten off; it’s unknown what beast injured him. The fingers were all bitten into segnts and laid out in a..."
"Laid out in the character for ’co’."
The officials exchanged looks.
Involuntarily, they turned their gaze to Fu ng.
Fu ng proudly puffed out its chest.
Yes, it was its doing!
Why arrange the character for ’co’?
It’s telling Landlord Dong that it will co again.
It’s a tiger with education.
It can write ten characters!
Fu ng swayed its tail, swaggering off outside.
Xiao Huaian: "A bunch of scoundrels, it’s just as well if they have problems; even death is too good for them. What’s there to make a fuss about?"
At this mont, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice stepped forward: "I have a report."
Ying Yin spoke gently: "Speak."
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice said properly: "After they were caught yesterday, the Dong Family was particularly unruly. Even with their eyes wide open, they dared to say they were wronged, asking us to release them."
"The Fifth Prince may not know, but privately, Landlord Dong attempted to bribe ."
"He declared that if I were willing to help, whether faking his death or using all connections to sche for him, as long as his life was preserved, he would offer all his wealth with both hands in respect."
These words were quite revealing.
A small landlord, yet such bold words.
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice ca from the Capital; what hasn’t he seen? Would petty favors catch his eye? Why take the risk to protect him?
It was unlikely to be a small sum.
Ying Yin’s expression darkened slightly.
As they were speaking, a commotion and screams were heard outside the post station.
The people present, realizing Fu ng was not there, quickly hurried out.
They saw that black-and-white giant creature leisurely leaving the post station.
It wasn’t behaving well either.
Passing by so benches outside, it arrogantly kicked them over.
The crowd scread incessantly in fright.
"A tiger, why is there a tiger?"
"It’s coming, it’s coming."
People quickly retreated, but so tripped, seeing Fu ng approach, trembled and shut their eyes, shouting.
"Help, it’s going to eat !"
Everyone else ran for their lives, unable to save themselves, let alone him.
Again, that person’s screams echoed from behind.
"Ahhhhh."
It’s over, over, he must have been bitten on the arm, or leg.
A good person is about to be gone.
The next mont, the person was still screaming.
But the screams were quite distorted.
"What’s... what’s it doing?"
Fu ng placed its paw on the man’s wrist on the ground.
Ying Yin and his group ca out just then.
Xiao Huaian, seeing the scene in front of him, had his eye twitch.
"Looks like it’s... taking your pulse."
Fu ng liked to learn.
Whether learned from Wei Zhao, or from Elder Ge, it’s unclear.
The man trembled: "Why?"
"Because you look about to faint."
The man:...
But I’m scared!
How shaless can it be?
The scene was absurd, Ying Yin decided to first reassure the people: "Do not be alard, this is raised by General Wei, just a bit mischievous, won’t hurt anyone."
The fleeing crowd, hearts shivering, turned back. They saw the imposing black-and-white tiger, kicking the man on the ground.
The fact is, its force wasn’t heavy.
Yes, in its view, it wasn’t heavy.
The man scread miserably: "Ah!"
Xiao Huaian: "Stretch out your other hand to it."
Xiao Huaian reminded him expressionlessly: "It wants to switch hands to continue the pulse reading."
The man’s eyes rolled back, almost scared to death, urgently begging: "Sir, sir, could you please pull it away?"
Can’t do it.
This tiger thing, Fu ng, is very stubborn, always finishes what it starts. Except for the one who died, it listens to no one.
Finally...
Fu ng, satisfied, finished pressing down on both hands.
It got off the man.
But then it did sothing else.
It took the man’s money pouch from his waist. Opening it, there were only four coins.
How poor.
Fu ng graciously threw it back.
Brazenly took the man’s at bun instead.
Xiao Huaian chuckled, "Oh, it’s collecting the consultation fee."
