Chu Xiao did not look at the four people on the ground. He looked at the battlefield ahead. The Brocade Guards had already taken control of the situation. Only a few dozen people were left there, struggling to survive.
"Your Highness, we didn't disappoint you. We killed all five hundred rebels.”After cleaning up the battlefield. Wang Dahu came over to report the situation.
"Send the injured brothers out to recuperate. The rest of you will enter the village and search for the remaining people. Focus on them." After Chu Xiao instructed Wang Dahu, he walked to the pavilion on the water. He looked at the scenery.
"Everyone has one. Send a portion of our brothers to send the injured brothers back to recuperate. The rest will enter the manor to search. Those who resist will be killed without mercy." Wang Dahu received the order and went back to instruct his brothers.
"Yes, my lord." Someone answered.
This was also a rule that Chu Xiao had set for the Brocade Guard. They could call each other brothers at ordinary times, even with him, the prince. However, when it came to serious moments, soldiers were needed. With Chu Xiao leading the way, everyone below followed suit.
At this moment, a small boat sailed over. He saw Chu Xiao rushing over.
After the boat docked, a sparrow flipped over and came to Chu Xiao's side. Report the situation in the city. "Reporting to Your Highness, there is news from the city that all of the Murong family's assets have been seized. The officials in the city had also been arrested. Your Highness, please instruct us." This was also because the Suzhou magistrate did not know what to do. Hence, he left it to Chu Xiao to decide.
"Separate the people and officials who were captured from the Murong family's property. All the people in the Murong family's property who knew about the situation and did not report it were executed on the spot. The rest were dismissed. As for those officials…Oh right, what about the two county magistrates and county captains? Did you catch him?" Although Chu Xiao had a strong killing intent, he was lenient towards innocent people who did not know anything.
"Your Highness, he hasn't returned yet.”the messenger said.
"Alright, after we bring them back, we'll directly escort them to the three divisions of the capital for a trial. We'll also hand in the evidence, but we'll keep a copy for ourselves and put it in the confidential cabinet. Alright, go do it." Chu Xiao ordered. There were some things that needed to be given to the officials of the court. Chu Xiao did not mind letting the Embroidered Uniform Guards eat meat while they drank soup.
"This subordinate will take his leave." Then, he flipped onto the boat and left.
Chu Xiao turned back to look at the battlefield and the blue sky. He sighed in his heart," Such a beautiful scenery, but it's stained by blood." However, he was only handsome for three seconds. He felt that the sunset and the bloody battlefield had an extra charm.
"Your Highness." At this moment, Wang Dahu returned to Chu Xiao. He said to Chu Xiao, who was admiring the beautiful scenery of Lake Tai.
"How did it go?" Chu Xiao turned around and asked.
"Previously, when our brothers were searching, they found two maids. Just as they were about to go up and arrest them, one of them jumped into the river and escaped. However, she immediately bit her tongue and committed suicide. Before she died, she even said that their Young Master and Biao Young Miss would avenge them. Now, the manor had been emptied. There was no one else.”Wang Dahu hesitated for a moment before speaking truthfully.
This group of masters actually let a little girl jump into the river to escape. It was really a great humiliation. In fact, it was not their fault. After all, they only knew a little about swimming and were not familiar with it. The little girl disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Alright, since that's the case, clean up the manor. He collected all the corpses. I'm going out now. You don't have to follow me." After saying that. Chu Xiao used the Wave Subtle Steps to walk in the air and landed on a small boat. Using his internal strength to push it forward, he shot out like an arrow.
Chu Xiao knew that the servant girl who had escaped must have gone to Mantuo Villa. It was not good for Chu Xiao to bring people and barge in directly. After all, she was the daughter of his master, Wu Yazi, and could be considered his senior sister. In the future, when he married Wang Yuyan as his concubine, he would have to call her mother-in-law. He could only visit them alone.
After Chu Xiao left, Wang Dahu walked back to the team.
"Big Brother Hu, what did His Highness say before he left? You don't blame us, right?" One of the younger ones asked.
"Alright, His Highness didn't say anything, but this time, I'll teach you a lesson. This is the only time you can do it again. Do you understand?" Although Chu Xiao did not say anything, Wang Dahu still felt embarrassed.
"Yes, I know." Everyone said in unison. It wasn't just him, Wang Dahu. Everyone felt embarrassed. That was why everyone went back to practice their swimming skills, causing Chu Xiao to be stunned. He did not understand what they were up to.
"Clean up the corpses.”Wang Dahu looked at the pile of corpses and his brothers began to clean up.
"Sir, what should we do with this corpse? Why don't we dig a hole and bury it?" The people below looked at the pile of corpses and asked Wang Dahu.
"Of course we have to bury him, but not here. This place would be His Highness's palace in the future. How could they bury their bodies here? The brothers worked hard to ship it out.”Although Chu Xiao did not ask them to do so, it was all their brothers 'intentions.
