Chapter 8

This sentence directly confused Wen Chi.

How would he know? He didn’t install a tracker on Shi Ye.
Shi Ye is such a big adult, he can go wherever he likes.

Of course, such rebellious and outrageous words are nothing more than a stroll in Wen Chi’s mind.
Even if he was given courage a hundred times, he would not dare to say it.
He buried his head even lower and said in fear: “I don’t know.”

“Benggong went to see those officials.” Shi Ye seemed to be excited and regardless of whether Wen Chi wanted to hear it or whether he could hear it, he laughed coldly and said to himself, “All those old things want Bengong to step down, so that they can push fourth brother, that stupid thing up.
You tell me, what is so good about the fourth brother?  Or is it that the Jiang mansion behind the concubines gave them a lot of benefits, that they ran to the emperor, that old bald donkey to blow pillow wind, a group of idiots.”

Wen Chi: “…”

He did not expect such powerful content to come out of the crown prince’s mouth.  

If the current emperor knew that he was called an old bald donkey by his son, he wondered how the emperor would feel.

There is also the fourth brother, who should be the protagonist of the novel —the Fourth prince, Shi Jin.

Thinking of this, Wen Chi sighed.
This crown prince deserves to be the villain in the novel, who is always challenging the authority of the protagonist but also always probing death and on the edge of insanity.

The crux of the matter is that after the crown prince finished rambling he had to sound him out.
He narrowed his eyes and asked Wen Chi seriously: “Do you think Bengong is better or the fourth brother is better?”

Wen Chi: “…” 

After a moment of silence, he chose the most standard answer, “I have married His Highness the Crown Prince, so I am His Highness’s person.
No matter whether other people are good or bad, they are far less than a hair of His Highness the Crown Prince.”

Shi Ye was amused by his words.
He burst out laughing.
After laughing, he took back his hand on the edge of the couch, supported his head and stared at Wen Chi with dark eyes: “Your mouth is really eloquent, but it’s a pity that your Four Liang pulling a thousand jin1accomplish a great task with little effort by clever maneuvers — Liang is a currency unit and jin is half a kilogram tricks is still a bit tender.”

At these words, cold sweat seeped out from Wen Chi’s face.

Fortunately, the next moment, Shi Ye waved his hand and said: “Forget it.”

Wen Chi thought that Shi Ye was going to let him go.
But before he could let out a sigh of relief, he heard Shi Ye change the topic and ask “Then do you know why Bengong took that woman’s life?”

Wen Chi caught his breath and he lowered his eyes nervously: “I don’t know…”

At this moment, Eunuch Zhu walked into the study with his waist hooked and said softly, “Your Highness, that person has been taken care of.”

Shi Ye raised his eyes and said indifferently, “Drag him in.”

 “Yes.”

Not long after Eunuch Zhu went out, two little eunuchs dragged in a corpse which was the corpse of the young man who was kneeling outside the study not long ago.

The two little eunuchs were instructed to drag the body directly in front of Wen Chi and put it down gently.

Wen Chi glanced at the corpse and closed his eyes in fright.

As the young man was beaten to death, his body had been beaten out of shape.
His mouth and nose were full of fresh blood and his eyes were full of extreme fear and despair.

The man’s death is terrifying and he had died without resting his eyes2To die without resting your eyes is a Chinese idiom whose pinyin is sǐ bù míng mù, which means that when a person dies, there is still something in his heart that he can’t let go.
It is often used to describe extremely unhappy people.

“Open your eyes.” Shi Ye’s cold voice sounded in his ears.

Wen Chi didn’t dare to open his eyes, but he had to.
He exhausted almost all of his strength to barely open his eyes.

But when his eyes fell on the corpse, he immediately looked aside in fright.

“Look at him.” Shi Ye’s voice sounded again with a hint of impatience.

Wen Chi didn’t dare to disobey his orders, so he had to bite the bullet and turn his eyes back to the corpse.

Shi Ye was satisfied and glanced at Eunuch Zhu.

Eunuch Zhu understood and hurriedly instructed the two little eunuchs, “Search.”

The two eunuchs have seen such spectacles and even the person on the ground was killed by their hands, so searching the body was an easy task for them.
They squatted down and groped the corpse without changing their expression.

After a while, they found silver needles as tiny as hair from the corpse’s hair.

After counting them, there were twenty of them.

“A sin!” Eunuch Zhu was so scared that his face was bloodless.
He knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed his head fiercely and cried, “I beg His Highness the Crown Prince to atone for his sins.
It’s the servant’s uselessness, It’s the servant’s negligence and carelessness that allowed these thieves to take advantage of it!”

Seeing this, the other palace maids and eunuchs also knelt on the ground trembling.

“All right.” Shi Ye said impatiently, “Why are you crying? Bengong is not dead yet.”

Eunuch Zhu said with sincerity, “Your Highness, don’t say that.
Your Highness is wise and mighty, a dragon and a phoenix among men.
How can such snakes, rats, worms and ants3Snakes, worms and ants describe people or things that are cunning and cunning.
“Snake, worm, rat and ant” mostly describe those things that are cunning, cunning, unpopular, and have various negative characteristics.
The reason why the “worm” in “snake, insect, mouse and ant” does not include “ant” is because the “worm” refers to those poisonous insects, such as centipedes, spiders, scorpions, etc., so it is not counted as “ant” hurt you?”

Shi Ye ignored Eunuch Zhu, turned to look at Wen Chi and said, “These people are stupid but they have one advantage, that is, they are persistent, like a fly, flying around in front of Benggong.
Kill one and there will be another.”
