Chapter 475
"How? You want me to do it myself?'
The whole yard was resounding the woman's screams and begging for mercy, while Ling Jingxuan totally had no reaction at all. With a cold sweep of his eyes, those tough old women made a shudder and pressed down the few women who were still begging for mercy in tearing hurry, while their maids looked at each woodly and then rushed before Yan Shengrui at the same time.
"Your Highness, please save our miss. They are granted by His Majesty!'
"Your Highness, I'm begging you!'
"Please show mercy, Your Highess'¦'
Nearly twenty of them knelt in front of Yan Shengrui and kept kowtowing. How cruel the crown princess is! He could establish his credibility, but how could he use such a brutal way? Begging him was useless, so the only one who could stop him was His Highness.
"Drag them down together!'
For fear that their move would invite other's resentment for his wife, Yan Shengrui who couldn't even fend for himself harshly said.
"Yes, Your Highness!'
Then more people rushed out of the crowd and pulled them away. And those women were still screaming and begging for mercy, whose shrieks reached every corner of the mansion. The whole front yard was now enveloped in some kind of bloodily horrible atmosphere. Dozens of them received the spanking punishment together. One could imagine how horrible that scene looked. Qin Yu and those beauties who received the punishment first also got their butts awfully mutilated. Be it those servants and maids, or those women who were offered to Yan Shengrui, all were quivering. They even dare beat someone granted by the empress dowager and His Majesty. How would they have a chance?
"Tut, tut, your wife is tough enough. After this, who will still have the balls to offer you any beauty? Those who have mixed into your mansion have to weigh the whole thing before spreading this out.'
Zeng Shaoqing who was sitting aside watching the drama leaded sideways toward Yan Shengrui, that evil but beautiful face stained with a shallow smile, only admiration in that pair of fox-like eyes. Originally, he was still worried that Ling Jingxuan would deal with people in the mansion like how he dealt with those people in the village. Seen from now, his worries were totally unnecessary. He was clearer than anyone that village people were all simple, how bad could they be? The most common thing of them was quarreling. Showing his killing intention was only to let them know his brutality, nothing else. But here was totally contrary from things in the countryside. As the saying goes, barking dogs won't bite. If he didn't take out some really cruel means and still only tried to fluff like in the village, the whole mansion would sink sooner or later and he would also get looked down upon, followed by countless troubles. But he really didn't expect that he would directly do this. That was his style!
"Do you think I will give them another chance?"
Yan Shengrui had long regretted now. If his wife put the blame on him because of this, he'd go each of their family and turn their house upside down! Why women? Silver, gold, jewelries, he wouldn't mind. And those things would make his sons happy. Why so many women? If he couldn't live a peaceful life, he would never let them!
"Look at you! It seems our Jingxuan really has a big problem about it. I've decided, I will stay here in the following days.'
With an evil smile, Zeng Shaoqing made the decision. A free drama to watch! Why not?
Rolling his eyes at him, Yan Shengrui pressed down his urge wanting to slap him, 'It's my Jingxuan, not yours or others'.'
"Yes, yes, yes. He is yours, of course. I don't have the ability to own such kind of wife.'
Zeng Shaoqing was amused and kept nodding, then turned to Ling Jingxuan with great interest. His intuition told him that he should have the follow-up move.
"My crown princess, Qin Yu has no breath already!"
Not long after, one of the executors came before Ling Jingxuan dragging the bloody instrument of torture. Ling Jingxuan cast a glance at the dead body and said, 'Bury it.'
"Yes, my crown princess."
Beating people or even killing people were a common thing in those big families. And they also had a professional processing scheme. Not daring to ask more, the servants hurriedly dragged Qin Yu's body away. The punishment was still proceeding, and there were people who kept being dragged away. Soon, dozens of people died. The whole mansion was enveloped in some kind of horrible and suffocating atmosphere.
"Today is just the beginning. I am not a woman, so I will not argue with you who is right or wrong. Anyone who touches my taboo will die! Of course, I'm not that kind of bloodthirsty person. As long as you perform well, I will treat you well. Otherwise, their today is your tomorrow, or maybe even your family out there will get involved. So, before doing things, I wish that you should consider it thoroughly.'
After the execution, Ling Jingxuan did not let them clean the blood-stained ground, but paced down before everyone, and took the horror under their eyes in to his eyes. At last of his words, the killing intention accumulated from his previous life broke out. He just bluntly told them that he was not kidding. Anyone who didn't believe it could try!
'Yes, my crown princess!'
Hundreds of servants and maids were trembling with pale face and fell to their knees. Even if no one was being punished now, they felt like the sharp screams were still lingering by their ears. So horrible! Their crown princess was more horrible than they had imagined! Without any more ado, he planted the seeds of fear in their hearts already.
'You can go. Do your own job.'
"Thank you, my crown princess.'
Then those servants and maids left supporting each other. Soon, the crowded yard got empty again. And the quiet mansion got busy again. Ling Jingxuan cast a glance at the rest of those beauties on the side, with a cold and cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, he walked towards Yan Shengrui with his hands behind his back, then picked up the booklet and said in a low voice, 'Since the empress dowager and His Majesty could grant those officials with credit beauties, shouldn't you also have the same power?'
Rewards and gifts were different. For rewards, the receiver must treasure them up carefully. But gifts were another thing. Before handling those beauties, he needed to make clear of the rules.
"Others may not have that power, but Shengrui does have it! Jingxuan, what do you want to do? Any place I can work you for?'
Before Yan Shengrui, Zeng Shaoqing asked with great interest. What he wanted happened to leave their fowls and dogs in no peace of those big families.
"What can you do? This is the first time I came to the capital. Of course I should bring them some local specialties on behalf of His Highness, right?'
Closing the booklet, Ling Jingxuan already beckoned Ling Yun to take his wooden box withal kinds of poison stuff inside. For he still had to take the kids with him, he didn't put any on his body. And he also took the poison from the little buns, only leaving some detoxifying pills just in case.
"Steward Zhu, let them come here.'
"Yes!"
Every time he called him Steward Zhu, Steward Zhu would have a shudder in spite of himself. Seeing hat, Zeng Shaoqing asked strangely, 'Do you want to kill them with poison and then sent them back?'
"Why should I do that?
