You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 273 The Xiao family is really going too far!

There wasn't a trace of shame or anger on Lin Yanzhi's face for being scolded, only an expression of pleasure at being scolded.

"It's been many years since anyone has scolded me like this! I really miss it."

No matter whether he was the crown prince of the previous dynasty or the third son of the Duke's Mansion, others had to treat him with respect.

The wet nurse looked at Lin Yanzhi's expression, paused for a moment, and then cursed even louder.

"You are indeed the offspring of the tyrant Ye Bingquan, as crazy as that bastard, without a normal brain, all of you are lunatics and perverts. It is because of demons like you that so many innocent people have died tragically!

Your Highness the Crown Prince? Pah, you are still dreaming of restoring the country, it's just a foolish dream! Pah, you are a bunch of selfish, pleasure-seeking evil spirits who ignore the lives of the people. Don't even think about being our emperor, you are not even worthy of being my dog..."

The wet nurse was cursing madly, and at this moment, a shadow guard walked in hurriedly.

Lin Yanzhi looked at him, frowned slightly, and said:

"What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, General Chen and General Hull are outside the door requesting to see you."

Lin Yanzhi thought for a moment, stood up, looked at the woman with some regret, and said without hesitation:

"Kill them all! Deal with them all."

In an instant, the entire yard seemed to be torn apart by screams, and blood splattered like a fountain.

One after another, they fell in front of Duke Lin. Duke Lin widened his eyes. He wanted to stop them, but he was powerless. He could only watch those people die in front of him.

Lin Yanzhi originally wanted to leave, but Duke Lin’s expression was so interesting that he changed direction and walked towards Duke Lin.

"Does father look helpless? They are just a few servants. Is father really old? Do you still remember that you slaughtered thousands of Ye's in the imperial city, but you never showed any mercy!"

Duke Lin stared at him, his eyes filled with not only hatred but also murderous intent.

Lin Yanzhi had no doubt that if Duke Lin could move now, he would kill him without hesitation.

such a pity!

He couldn't do anything now, he could kill him with just a flick of his finger.

It feels extremely refreshing to step on the person who has been placed in a high position and push him into the mud.

Lin Yanzhi was extremely pleased, but also felt ironic:

"How come father also feels sorry for these irrelevant people? When you took the lead in slaughtering the entire Ye family, did you ever have a trace of sympathy?"

"Father, do you regret it?"

He regretted, of course he regretted, he regretted why he didn't kill them all and eradicate them completely!

Duke Lin stared at him fiercely.

"Tsk tsk, father can't stand this? There are more exciting things waiting for you later! It is said that mother and sister have been rescued. When Yan'er catches them, let them reward the 100,000 Lin family soldiers, okay? They have been guarding the border for decades, it is really hard. Father is so soft-hearted, he should be able to understand the hard work of the soldiers!

Oh, and there is Zhao Zhao. Her body has not been found yet. When we find it, we will use her bones to make soup. It is said that the girl's flesh, blood and bones are very delicious!"

Red bloodshot instantly covered the whites of Duke Lin's eyes. His eyes were red, as if tears of blood would flow out in the next second.

Veins bulged on his forehead, neck, and arms, and his eyes were colder than ever, as if they could shoot out sharp swords.

A huge fire of rage burned in his heart like a volcano about to erupt. His body was shaking slightly, and he was extremely angry.

He wished he could kill him right now!

Lin Yanzhi knew that Duke Lin wanted to use his inner strength to break through the poison, but the poison he had people develop was meant for those with strong inner strength.

Internal force has no effect on poison.

"Father, stop struggling, it's useless!"

As he spoke, Lin Yanzhi smiled even more brightly, with madness in his eyes.

"Father, don't worry, you will be able to see such a beautiful scene soon."

He kindly tucked in the quilt that was full of porridge for him, then left with his shadow guard, leaving behind corpses all over the ground and Duke Lin, who looked desperate.

His voice came through the air like a curse:

"Duke Lin, please don't die so easily. I want you to see with your own eyes how I destroy the Xiao family's kingdom..."

Men in black came in and dragged away the bodies, some cleaned up the blood, some came to wash him, comb his hair, change his sheets, and apply medicine to his lips that were blistered from burns.

Everything is very well trained.

And Duke Lin, at this moment, is just a puppet being manipulated.

His wife and children were missing, his son was dead, and the remnants of the previous dynasty were tyrannical in his mansion, but now he could do nothing...

His eyes were red, and a tear finally slid down Duke Lin's cheek.

Back then, he had never felt so helpless even when he fell into the enemy's trap and narrowly escaped death. He was tortured by the enemy until not an inch of his skin was left intact.

It's all his fault. He only guarded against outsiders but not his family.

He actually kept such a poisonous wolf at home. Who will save his wife and children? Who can save them...

Tears slid down and dripped into the snow, silently.

Lin Yanzhi used medicine, wiped the tears from his face, rubbed his swollen and red eyes, and then walked towards the door.

When everyone in the General's Mansion saw Lin Yanzhi's appearance, their eyes unconsciously became sore.

It is a pain in the hearts of every one of them that such a good man, who was both civil and military, met with such a misfortune and died at the hands of bandits.

They knew exactly how the general had treated them during those years on the border.

Even Duke Lin back then had not been so kind to them.

Even those old generals who had insisted on following only Duke Lin began to slowly accept him and regard him as their new master.

A while ago, I sent them cotton-padded jackets, rice, flour, and food. If any of their families encountered difficulties, I would pay out of my own pocket to help them solve the problem.

The sudden death of Lin Kaiji, coupled with the fact that Duke Lin suffered a stroke due to the stimulation, was undoubtedly a huge blow to them.

Chen Jing wiped the tears from his face and said quickly:

"Third Young Master, the entire General's Mansion now depends on you, so you must take good care of yourself."

It is said that men don't shed tears easily. When Chen Jing saw Lin Yanzhi's swollen eyes, he knew how sad he was.

Lin Yanzhi took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and bowed humbly.

"General Chen, General Hull, thank you for your hard work these days. I will have to trouble you with my eldest brother's funeral!"

Chen Jing and Hull also quickly returned the greeting and said:

"No trouble, no trouble, this is what we should do!"

"It's all our fault. If we had followed the general when he escorted Madam Lin out of the city, how could those bandits have succeeded?"

Hull felt very guilty.

Chen Jing patted Lin Yanzhi on the shoulder and said:

"Third Young Master, don't worry. We will definitely avenge the general. None of those bandits will escape! As for the whereabouts of Madam Lin and the two young ladies, we are still investigating."

Lin Yanzhi bowed again and said:

"Lin is here to thank you all for your help."

Hull waved his hand and said:

"The most urgent task now is to handle the general's funeral."

Lin Yanzhi nodded and gestured to them to come in.

Chen Jing ordered them to carry the heads of the bandits into the mansion.

Lin Yanzhi looked at the boxes and said:

"what is this?"

Chen Jing was afraid that Lin Yanzhi would be scared, so he said tactfully:

"These are the heads of the bandits. Since the general was killed by the bandits, he should cut off their heads to atone for his sins. Only then will the general feel at ease.

If the Third Young Master is afraid, he can choose not to go to the mourning hall for now."

Lin Yanzhi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"I'm not afraid. These are the enemies who killed my eldest brother. I can't wait to drink their blood."

Blood debt must be paid with blood, and sacrificial offerings to atone sins are an ancient form of sacrifice that requires certain rituals.

When he heard that the deceased needed to be cleansed, Lin Yanzhi winked at a shadow guard.

Lin Yanzhi, Chen Jing and Hull personally cleaned Lin Kaiji's body. When Chen Jing used a towel to wipe Lin Kaiji's body, he found that his right hand was clenched into a fist.

He tried to pry it open several times, but failed.

It is not uncommon for some people to remain in the same posture they were in when they died.

But it is rare to see the fist clenched so tightly.

He looked carefully and seemed to have discovered some huge clues, and said:

"The general seems to have something in his hand."

Hearing this, the three of them worked together to pry it open. When they saw the jade pendant in Lin Kaiji's hand, Chen Jing's eyes widened. His initial shock turned into great anger, and his body was shaking with anger:

"Xiao family, you are really going too far!"
