Chapter 756: The Saint is Cruel and Merciless (XI)

The next morning, Zhuang Xingwei set off with his army. After sending her son off, Old Lady Zhuang went back and called the court physician. The medicine prescribed by the court physician was ineffective, so she asked the housekeeper to invite the imperial physician into the house.

At that time, her skin was scratched all over her body. When she learned that it would take more than ten days to heal after taking the medicine, she put on her mask and cursed, offending the imperial physician. He just prescribed some medicine and left. The consequence of untimely treatment is that scars were left all over her body after the wounds healed. The scars on her face made Mrs. Zhuang even more gloomy. She used to love attending banquets and listening to others compliment her, but now she doesn't even go out.

Old Madam Zhuang cried out in pain, not knowing that her son was suffering the same as she was. However, Zhuang Xingwei knew that his face was important. Now that his face was disfigured, he didn't believe he could still use his beauty to lure men. He endured the pain and didn't scratch. Military doctors were good at treating knife and arrow wounds, but not this kind of injury. Zhuang Xingwei had no choice but to endure it. He felt extremely unlucky that he was in such a miserable state right after going to the battle.

When they arrived in the southwest, Mingli's men had already received orders. They pretended to be Mingli's men and had fun with him. They also got the defense map of the Zhuang army and learned the locations of several important cities.

After squeezing out all the value from Zhuang Xingwei, he made Zhuang Xingwei think that Mingli was deeply in love with him and that he had figured out the situation of the Wansheng Clan. When he wanted to lead his troops to besiege the Wansheng Clan, he was completely wiped out.

He was hit by three arrows in a row and pointed at the fake Mingli and said, "Mingli, you actually lied to me!"

The beautiful woman said with a smile: "I am not the master. The master's martial arts skills are much higher than yours. I am the master's maid Gu Liangxin. A man like you dares to covet the master. Hurry up and reincarnate."

"You! Your last name is Gu? Who is Gu Liangshan to you?"

"Oh, you still remember him? He's my brother! I'm the older daughter of the Gu family. Back then, my brother discovered your father's evil intentions and was about to report them, but he died at your father's hands. Now you've died in my hands too, how wonderful! There are so many people buried with you. There will be more in the future, so just go and see your father with peace of mind."

The man's eyes were red, and he was spitting blood and shouting, "I'm going to kill you!"

Gu Liangxin covered his mouth and laughed, "Haha, then come and kill me!"

The man rushed towards Gu Liangxin with a sword.

Another female guard stepped forward and stabbed him.

"Why waste time talking to him? The Saint said that villains die from talking too much."

Gu Liangxin frowned, "Who asked you to kill him?"

"He's not dead yet, hurry up and finish him off."

Gu Liangxin looked at Zhuang Xingwei on the ground staring at her and saw that he was not dead yet, so she cut his throat with a sword and he became completely motionless.

"Clean up the battlefield. Go report to the Great Elder so that we can proceed with the next plan!" On the other side, Duan Jingwu had already solved the problem of food and grass, but the disaster relief was not going smoothly. After all, there were too many corrupt officials and too many mobs, and disaster relief was not as simple as distributing some food.

It was difficult for food to reach the victims, epidemics broke out after the floods, and the drought also required the solution of water supply problems. The imperial court did not care, and countless people died and were injured. In short, Duan Jingwu's efforts in disaster relief failed.

Emperor Shen Kang was overjoyed when he heard that Zhuang Xingwei had wiped out the remnants of the previous dynasty, chosen a date to return to the court, and presented the head of the former Wuyang Princess. Zhuang Xingwei had solved a major problem for him!

When he saw Duan Jingwu, he was furious! Duan Jingwu often went to the palace to cry poor, asking the emperor for financial support for disaster relief and to dismiss him from his official position, but the emperor never agreed, neither giving him money nor dismissing him from his official position.

Now that Duan Jingwu had used up all the apparent wealth of the General's Mansion, he came to the palace to both cry poor and apologize. With the emperor standing by and watching, how much manpower and military force could Duan Jingwu mobilize?

Those officials would not listen to his orders, and the prince had to be on guard against Duan Jingwu, so after two months of disaster relief, rebellions broke out again. The emperor could no longer sit still, knowing that the Duan family could not make any money, so he had to order the opening of the national treasury for disaster relief and sent Duan Jingwu to quell the rebellion.

The emperor also compared Duan Jingwu with Zhuang Xingwei, scolded Duan Jingwu for his incompetence and called him a coward, and warned him to put down the rebellion properly.

Duan Jingwu cursed the dog emperor in his heart. He decided that when he became the prince consort, he would kill the dog emperor and the prince.

Duan Jingwu didn't expect that Zhuang Xingwei was actually more powerful than him, so he went to Shen Tiaotiao to find out the inside story.

"I accidentally overheard the Crown Princess and Old Madam Zhuang chatting. It seems that Lord Zhuang concealed his identity and deliberately approached Mingli. It seems that he also fell in love with the former princess. When the two of them were in love, he led his troops to kill those people."

Upon learning that Zhuang Xingwei had used his beauty to deceive Mingli and successfully killed her and the remnants of the previous dynasty, she cursed Zhuang Xingwei for his shamelessness and vulgarity, completely forgetting that she had often used Shen Tiaotiao to achieve her goals, and that she had also resorted to sneak attacks and subterfuge when attacking the Wansheng Clan. Shen Tiaotiao watched her lover leave, murmuring to herself in disbelief, "The future empress died so pathetically at the hands of her lover. A man's heart is as unpredictable as the sea. Will Duan Jingwu ever do the same to me?"
