The screams continued and they eventually woke up their masters, who were still sound asleep.

Qiao Zheng Hong waited an entire night for Qiao Lin but he didn’t come back. He was worried at first, but who would have thought that loud screams could be heard coming from outside? His expression changed instantly.

“What are you making so much noise for?” Frustrated, Qiao Zheng Hong pushed the door open and walked out in a rage. He glared at the servant, who was screaming continuously, with eyes full of displease.

“Ah......” When Qiao Zheng Hong was about to question her, a sharp scream appeared again, he couldn’t help but frown when he heard that.

Wasn’t that voice his mother’s? Why did she join in making so much noise early in the morning?

“What exactly is going on?” Qiao Zheng Hong glared at the servant second to Qiao Lin, who hurriedly rushed to him.

The servant’s face was pale, his body trembling slightly, “Master, outside......I think you should come and see.”

The outside had become a mess and it was out of control.

Qiao Zheng Hong glared at the head servant and walked out right away. He wanted to see what exactly was happening.

Before he walked out, Qiao Zheng Hong sensed a strong iron smell, it made him had a bad feeling about it.

He quickened his pace, and when he arrived at the scene, both his eyes widened and were bloodshot.

At the open space, there was a not-very-big earthen jar and there was someone inside. That person wasn’t just anyone else but his head servant, Qiao Lin.

Qiao Zheng Hong walked over quickly, “What exactly is going on?”

“Master......they......know......about it already.” When Qiao Zheng Hong flew into a frenzy, the person in the earthen jar opened his mouth and said in a whimper with a hoarse and unclear voice.

The crowd thought that he was already dead, but he was still alive in the earthen jar and speaking.

Those who were timid fainted from the shock.

Those who were brave trembled with fear at the side and didn’t dare to move.

Qiao Zheng Hong was the closest to Qiao Lin and he smelled something pungent. He lowered his head to see water dosed with hot chilli in the jar.

“**** it, how dare they to do this.” Qiao Lin’s four limbs were chopped off and was put into the spicy water. How painful must he have felt?

Qiao Lin didn’t care about it at all as his nerves were already numb from the pain, “Master.....think of a way to escape......His Majesty......already......knows everything.”

Qiao Zheng Hong didn’t catch what he said earlier, but when he heard him clearly now that His Majesty had already known about it, his body froze in an instant.

“Clean this place up.” Qiao Zheng Hong ordered as he looked at the corpses in the courtyard.

The servants looked at one another, some didn’t dare to do it, but they still had to do it without a choice.

One of the timid servants walked to one of the corpses. It’s eyelids suddenly opened and it was almost as if it was looking right at her lifelessly.

“Ah...” A sharp scream once again was heard before she fainted.

However, she didn’t black out for long. When she woke up again, she became deranged and her words became a string of mess.

For a family like that, just what was it that happened to have caused a servant to go crazy from the shock?

Qiao Zheng Hong went over and he saw the corpse with his eyelids opened, staring at him with his with no eyes.

The eyes were dug out and left with two holes. Seeing it himself, it was actually pretty frightening.

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and clean this up.” Qiao Zheng Hong frowned. It seemed like Qiao Tian Chang was ruthless enough to actually used such a way to deal with him.

After Xiao Qi Tian heard what his informant had said, he almost fell down from his chair.

“What did you say? Qiao Lin is still alive even after being turned to such a state? Besides him, a servant was almost scared out of her mind?” Xiao Qi Tian was sure he must have heard it wrong.

Qiao Lin had his four limbs chopped off, and was squeezed like a pig offering. Other than his mouth, his ears and eyes were all taken from him. But most importantly, he was contained inside a jar with a large amount of water dosed in chilli and salt.

Who knew how it must have felt? At that thought, Xiao Qi Tian wondered whether it was too cruel.
