Chapter 375: Chapter 145 Chen Jie: Feng Xuan, Get Out (10,000 Words for Monthly Tickets!)_6

Rip...

Huadie’s clothes were directly torn open, utterly collapsing her psychological defenses. She cried out, ”Tell them to stop, stop, Mr. Peng, Mr. Peng, I was wrong, I was wrong...”

”I’m sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong...sob...”

Huadie broke down in uncontrollable crying, her heart completely shattered.

At that moment, Zhou Chu motioned to two Mulan Soldiers and then pulled out two silver ingots of ten taels each from his pocket, handing them over, ”Hard work, brothers.”

Seeing the money, the two Mulan Soldiers immediately beamed with joy. Although they hadn’t gotten what they initially wanted, the silver made the trip worthwhile.

The two Mulan Soldiers stepped back, and Chen Jie approached Huadie. A subordinate naturally brought a chair for him, and as Chen Jie sat down, he looked down at the weeping Huadie, ”Speak.”

”Sob... I didn’t want to, they took my brother, forced me to do it...”

”They said the medicine would only cause weakness in the limbs, I didn’t mean to kill Mr. Peng, I really didn’t...”

”I didn’t know Mr. Peng would die, I...I was wrong...”

Huadie continued crying in despair.

Chen Jie watched her cry without any pity, merely asking, ”Who are they?”

Huadie said, ”I, I was bought by Nan Batian with money. They, they kept me confined in a place, then had me learn various things, and later sent me to the Spring Breeze Theater to get close to Mr. Peng. The day the incident occurred, Feng Xuan came to me with the medicine. He had Nan Batian’s token, I had to obey him...”

”Later, I pretended to have heart pain, Mr. Peng came, and I tricked him into drinking the poisoned wine.”

”Has my father never suspected from the beginning?”

Zhou Chu asked at this point.

Huadie shook her head, ”No, the medicine was colorless and tasteless; he never suspected.”

Chen Jie responded, ”The wine you handed him, he drank despite it being poisoned.”

Huadie fell silent, sobbing, Chen Jie, ”Keep talking.”

”Later, Mr. Peng started feeling unwell, the way he looked at me, there was disappointment, pain...he questioned me about who was responsible, just then, Feng Xuan appeared from the tunnel!”

”Tunnel?”

Chen Jie looked at Huadie.

Huadie said, ”Yes, beneath my bed, there’s a secret passage that leads here. Feng Xuan came up.”

”Mr. Peng looked at him incredulously, that look, filled with disappointment, disbelief, and despair. He said to Feng Xuan: Are you behind this?”

Feng Xuan sneered madly, ”Father, hahaha... unexpected, isn’t it? Do you regret not listening to Chen Jiusi’s words, hahaha...”

”He said a lot, like a maniac. After Mr. Peng heard him, his eyes filled with despair. I still remember Mr. Peng’s words: I don’t regret not following Jiusi’s advice, I regret raising you all to be this way.”

”Zheng Chuan was like this, and so are you, I regret it...”

Huadie looked at Chen Jie, Chen Jie, Zhou Chu all fell silent. Indeed, Peng Shizhong’s upbringing had failed; the two grown men turned out to be ungrateful.

Zheng Chuan was violent, Feng Xuan devious, none turned out how Peng Shizhong had hoped.

He had protected them all his life, hoping they would grow to be harmonious brothers, but in the end, it came to such a tragic conclusion. How sad!

Chen Jie and Zhou Chu both felt pity for Peng Shizhong.

”Then you know what happened, he told me to come out and blame everything on you.”

Huadie said, sobbing. Chen Jie and Zhou Chu both remained silent; this was indeed the truth.

Chen Jie sighed, stood up, and said to Huadie, ”Tomorrow, at Feng Xuan’s inauguration, you should reveal all this. It would also be a way to honor Mr. Peng’s spirit. Can you do that?”

Chen Jie looked at Huadie, Huadie looked up at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie said, ”Tomorrow, a commander representative of Darugachi will be sent from Darugachi Mansion, you won’t face any danger if you speak. But if you don’t speak!”

Chen Jie didn’t say anything, but everything else was self-evident.

If he didn’t speak, anything horrifically inhumane could happen.

At this moment, Zhou Chu also said to Huadie, ”You must understand that even Nan Batian has to listen to Darugachi, and you should know who is the real king of Mianshui County!”

After that, he followed Chen Jie out, and when they were outside, Chen Jie told Zhou Chu, ”Get her some new clothes to change into and prepare some food for her.”

”Let her starve, foster father liked her so much, yet she... Alright, I’ll handle it.”

Zhou Chu muttered and immediately went to take care of it.

Chen Jie, meanwhile, looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions, ”Foster father, watch over from heaven, for tomorrow I will avenge you, making that unfilial son kneel and seek redemption from you in heaven!”

...

The night passed without incident, and the following day broke.

The White Tiger Hall was decked in lights and decorations, a high platform was set up inside the spacious hall, and beneath it, guests filled the seats, with every prominent person from Mianshui County in attendance to offer their congratulations.

The ceremony was presided over by Nan Batian, the leader of the Fishing Guild and chief of the Mianshui Thirteen Grand Protectors.

How could they disregard Feng Xuan, and not give face to Nan Batian?

Feng Xuan was also dressed in white silk, his face beaming with smiles, welcoming guests from all directions.

”The Thirteen Grand Protectors, Miss Hongyan has arrived!”

Upon hearing this, Feng Xuan immediately went out to greet her, ”It’s an enormous privilege that Miss Hongyan could attend.”

”Guild Leader Liu of Guild Liu has arrived~”

”Guild Leader Liu, please take a seat.”

Feng Xuan greeted everyone warmly!

”Qimu Ge, the Commander from Darugachi Mansion, has arrived!”

”Ah, Lord Commander, please come in, take the high seat, take the high seat!”

At this moment, Feng Xuan was overjoyed, inaugurating as the White Tiger Hall Master with guests from Darugachi Mansion congratulating him, what a glorious sight!

Hahaha...

Feng Xuan excitedly greeted the guests from all directions, and soon everyone had arrived.

The ceremony was personally conducted by Guild Leader Tang Ziyue of the Fishing Guild, who stepped on the platform and delivered a speech that thundered with applause.

Zhou Chu was cracking melon seeds below, looking around, checking the time, wondering why Jiu Si still hadn’t arrived; if he didn’t appear soon, the ceremony would be completed.

Just as he was getting anxious, Tang Ziyue announced, ”Next, let’s welcome the new Hall Master of White Tiger Hall, Feng Xuan, to say a few words.”

Feng Xuan, under the flattery of the crowd, stepped onto the platform, his face flushed with vigor!

”Ha ha, first of all, I thank everyone for their support. How could I, Feng Xuan, be worthy of such an important position at White Tiger Hall? Today, the first person I must thank is my foster father Peng Shizhong...”

Boom!

”Murderer who killed for power, how dare you even mention the name of your foster father! Get down here!”

Just as the crowd was preparing for Feng Xuan’s impassioned speech, a sudden loud explosion occurred, and five or six Fishing Guild brothers were thrown flying into the hall, simultaneously, the banquet hall doors blasted open!

A Red Tassel Spear broke through the door, flying straight toward Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan dodged in shock, and with a loud clang, the spear fiercely nailed itself into the wooden sign bearing the ’Zhong’ character behind him!

Immediately afterwards, a man broke through the door, and in the next moment, everyone turned to look at the newcomer, then all widened their eyes in disbelief—how dare he come!

And someone shouted his name:

Chen Jiusi!!!
