Chapter 545
Everyone no longer dared to think further. If their speculation was true, it would be the biggest scandal in Jingzhou.
“Didn’t Liu Biao go to the Jingshan courtyard some time ago?” Huang She said. At that time, he mobilized his troops for unknown reasons. Many of these soldiers were children from noble families. The Huang brothers were even acquainted with some of them. All of these soldiers were complaining about it. If Liu Biao had missed Lady Cai, he could just go by himself. There was no need to mobilize his army of five thousand people.
At first, they all thought that Liu Biao was just being worried about Lady Cai. After all, an assassin had just appeared in Liu Biao’s residence. It was natural for the husband to be worried about his wife.
Huang She, who was the heir of the Huang Family has a good information network. It is said that Cai Mao was even berated by Liu Biao during this period. Huang She believed that these incident is connected to Lady Cai being pregnant.
“If the child is not Liu Biao’s, whose is it?” Huang She pondered.
“Brother. I heard the King of Shu was also present at Jingshan!” Huang Kai said.
“That’s right! How could I not have realized this?” Huang She’s eyes shone. Lady Cai was definitely the one pregnant. If she were pregnant with Liu Biao’s baby then her status would rise. However, if she wanted an abortion it would mean that there was something wrong with the baby.
The real father of the baby did not matter. The only important thing was who to attack with this information. Since Liu Mang was there, he was definitely a suspect. They could put the blame on Liu Mang and have Liu Biao wipe him out.
Bian Nan’s face started to turn pale. This information was definitely too sensitive for a servant like him. There was a chance that he would be silenced. Knowing this, Bian Nan started to move towards the exit.
“Where do you think you are going?” Huang She looked at Bian Nan coldly.
Bian Nan was extremely frightened. Previously, he could act arrogant as he had Huang Chen’s support. However this time, even Huang Chen could not protect him.
“Lady Cai is pregnant but who is the father?” This is a trump card he could allow to go to waste. This information could harm both Liu Mang and the Cai Family. Huang She wanted Liu Mang to suffer as he hated Liu Mang to the bone. As for the Cai Family, their fall would allow the Huang Family to replace them as the most influential in the army. Huang She was unable to contain his excitement when looking at his future prospects.
To ensure that all goes smoothly, they could not allow the Cai Family to be prepared for this. In the room, there were only four people. Huang She, the two Huang brothers and Bian Nan. Although Huang She did not like his siblings, they were still blood related. On the other hand, Bian Nan was just a servant. The decisions to permanently silence him was quickly made.
Bian Nan now regretted his actions. He only followed his master to Cirentang. If it wasn’t because he was so talkative and mentioned Xiao Cui, he would not have ended up in this predicament.
“Elder Young Master! Spare my life! I won’t divulge this secret! This servant knows nothing! Please spare my life!” Bian Nan immediately knelt down and begged the moment he saw the killing intent in Huang She’s eyes.
“Really? You will be prudent with your speech?” Huang She laughed as he walked over to Bian Nan. Bian Nan was terrified and did not dare to rebel. Although the Huang Family was not as powerful as the Cai Family and the Kuai Family, they still weren’t a group that ordinary people could oppose. If Bian Nan were to rebel, not only would he die. He would implicate his family members as well.
“However, I do not believe you. There are only one type of person I believe to be prudent in their speech.”
“What kind of person?” Bian Nan asked spontaneously.
“A dead person!” Huang She’s words made Bian Nan jump.
With killing intent, Huang She summoned two of his bodyguards. These two were from the army so they could kill without batting an eye. Bian Nan knew that he was quickly heading towards death.
“Second Master! Young Master! Please save me!” Bian Nan knew that his pleas were useless so he hoped for Huang Chen to plead for him.
Huang Chen did not speak. Without any other option, Bian Nan grabbed onto Huang Chen’s pants and knocked his head on the ground repeatedly. His face was full of blood, tears and snot.
“Second Master! Please help me plead for mercy! I have always followed Second Master everywhere! Even if there is no contribution, I have worked hard for the Huang Family. Please let me off! I will not say anything!” Bian Nan begged.
Bian Nan’s unsightly appearance disgusted Huang Chen. In his disgust, he kicked his servant away. However, Huang Chen also had other thoughts. Bian Nan was still useful to him. As Bian Nan was the one accompanying him out to have fun for so long, other servants would not be as good.
“Brother. Bian Nan is just a bug. You will just contaminate your hand if you kill him!” Huang Chen said as he cupped his fist towards Huang She.
“Yes! Yes! I am just a worthless bug! Elder Young Master! Please spare me!” Bian Nan nodded.
“This bug follows me everywhere and I am now used to it. He will not dare to divulge this secret so can brother allow him to keep his life?”
“Spare him?” Huang She’s not the kind of person who cared what others wanted. However this information was obtained by his brothers. Besides that, his temperament had changed after being imprisoned twice. His father Huang Zu had also sent a letter from Changsha telling him to get along with the two brothers. As a result, Huang She still gave face to Huang Chen.
“What if he doesn’t keep quiet?” Huang She asked. He had to be careful as this information concerns the Huang Family’s status in Jingzhou.
“Brother. This is easy! He will not be able to divulge this secret if we cut off his tongue!” Huang Chen laughed.
“Cut off the tongue?” Bian Nan was shocked. If he had no tongue, he would not be able to speak.
“In that case, I will spare his life!” Huang She nodded. He did not really care about Bian Nan’s life only his silence.
“Second Master! Second Master!” Bian Nan panicked. He could keep his life but he also did not want to be mute. However, his pleas were in vain.
“Did you not hear Chen’s words? Take him away!” Huang She waved his hand. His guards then dragged Bian Nan away.
“Wait!” Huang Chen stopped them. Bian Nan showed an expression of joy. He believed that Huang Chen would not abandon him.
“What now?” Huang She was starting to become unhappy. He had already given face to Huang Chen. If Huang Chen continued to push him further, he would not hesitate to kill Bian Nan regardless of Huang Chen.
“Younger brother. Are you being willful again?” Huang Kai also noticed Huang She’s discontent and wanted to stop Huang Chen. It was not worth offending Huang She just for one servant.
However, Huang Chen was not trying to plead for Bian Nan. “Brother. I have not seen a person get his tongue cut off before. Is it possible for me to watch your men cut off his tongue?” Huang Chen asked with interest. Rather than plead for Bian Nan, Huang Chen was just bored. Now, there was a show for him to watch.
“You want to watch?” Huang She could not help but frown as he took note of Huang Chen’s strange interests. However, he just decided to give Huang Chen face. “Just go.”
“Thank you, brother! Brother. I will return later!” Huang Chen said with a smile. The boredom he had for several days was going to be satiated.
Miserable screams and amused laughter soon rang out together in the Huang Family’s residence, horrifying the people around it.
