Huang Rong’s beautiful eyes, cold and icy, stared at Liang Tai, her entire body radiating a chill that made the surrounding temperature plummet to freezing.
“Thud!”
Feeling Huang Rong’s icy killing intent, Liang Tai shuddered, his knees buckling as he fell to the ground. “Madam, it must have been Jiang Chen who framed me! It must have been Jiang Chen who framed me…”
“I framed you? Everyone saw how I walked in empty-handed. Could I possibly conjure up magic tricks?” Jiang Chen sneered.
The wooden chest under Liang Tai’s bed, including the set of Huang Rong’s white, close-fitting undergarments, was indeed placed there by Jiang Chen, using his mind to retrieve it from his system space during the search.
As long as Huang Rong recognized that set of white undergarments as hers, Liang Tai’s fate was sealed!
“Deputy Commander Liang, I never expected you to have a penchant for collecting women’s undergarments besides your love of wealth! Where did you get this set of women’s undergarments?” Jiang Chen added fuel to the fire.
Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Huang Rong was incensed!
“Madam, I didn’t collect these women’s undergarments! It wasn’t me! Please believe me, please believe me…” Liang Tai pleaded.
“Humph! What more is there to explain? You deserve to die! You’re still trying to deny it!”
Fearful that Liang Tai would reveal his actions of peeking at her while she bathed and doing those things the previous night, Huang Rong channeled her internal energy and struck Liang Tai’s head with a palm.
“Thud!”
Liang Tai fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, blood oozing from his seven orifices. He was dead!
“Hiss!”
Seeing this scene, the crowd gasped in astonishment!
No one had expected Huang Rong, in her rage, to kill Liang Tai in public!
Only Jiang Chen knew that Huang Rong killed Liang Tai not for stealing the treasures but because of the set of white women’s undergarments.
Huang Rong was convinced that Liang Tai was the one who stole her undergarments and peeked at her while she bathed the night before.
She would absolutely not allow Liang Tai to live.
“Jiang Chen, handle everything here!”
After killing Liang Tai, Huang Rong realized her outburst and instructed Jiang Chen before leaving quickly.
“Yes, Madam!”
Watching Huang Rong leave, Jiang Chen looked at Liang Tai’s corpse and shook his head.
You reap what you sow! Why didn’t you mess with someone else?
…
After taking care of everything, Jiang Chen went to the meeting hall.
“Madam, everything has been investigated!”
Jiang Chen clasped his hands together in a salute to Huang Rong, saying, “To take my place as the head of the guards, Liang Tai conspired with several other guards last night to steal the treasures and frame me. Now, I have caught all those guards. How should they be dealt with, Madam?”
“Kill them all!” Huang Rong, still simmering with anger, said.
“Yes, Madam!”
Those guards had stolen the reserve military funds and framed the head of the guards. Their deaths were deserved.
“Madam, I had an unexpected discovery while searching Liang Tai’s room!”
Jiang Chen pulled two letters from his bosom and presented them to Huang Rong. “I found two letters from the Yuan Dynasty and some gold and silver jewelry gifted to Liang Tai by the Yuan people in a hidden compartment in his room.”
Huang Rong took the letters, glanced at them, and her beautiful face suddenly changed!
“This Liang Tai, he truly deserves to die!” Huang Rong said.
This Liang Tai had been bribed by the Yuan people. If he had truly infiltrated the City Lord’s Mansion, the consequences would have been disastrous!
“Jiang Chen, good job!”
Huang Rong praised him, “You should investigate further and see if there are any more spies for the Yuan in the City Lord’s Mansion.”
“Yes, Madam!” Jiang Chen said.
Huang Rong hesitated for a moment and asked, “Jiang Chen, did you find anything else?”
Seeing Huang Rong’s hesitant manner, Jiang Chen knew that she wanted to ask about the undergarments but didn’t want anyone else to know that the set of white undergarments belonged to her.
Unknown to Huang Rong, Jiang Chen had returned her set of white undergarments to his system space afterward.
“There are no other discoveries for now. Is there anything else you need, Madam?”
Jiang Chen secretly chuckled inside but kept a serious expression on his face.
“Nothing else!”
Huang Rong said, “Jiang Chen, you have been wronged today. Starting tomorrow, come to the training grounds, and I will teach you a martial art from Peach Blossom Island as compensation.”
Huang Rong knew that she had publicly searched Jiang Chen’s room today, embarrassing him. To make up for it, she decided to teach him a martial art from Peach Blossom Island.
“Thank you, Madam! If you have nothing else, I will take my leave.”
Jiang Chen quickly clasped his hands together in gratitude, his heart already filled with joy at this unexpected reward!
He desperately needed high-level martial arts right now.
Moreover, Huang Rong teaching him martial arts from Peach Blossom Island meant that their interactions would inevitably increase.
Watching Jiang Chen leave, Huang Rong still had many questions.
If Liang Tai truly wanted to frame Jiang Chen, why didn’t he place those treasures in Jiang Chen’s room but under her bed instead?
And why hadn’t she seen her set of purple undergarments?
However, with Liang Tai now dead, Huang Rong didn’t want to waste any more energy on this matter.
