"Zhao Cheng, behead him and display his head to the public. All the adult males of the Zhao family will be beheaded, and the women will be sold as slaves..."

Emperor Wu of Liang raised his eyelids slightly, raised his thin lips, and sent the Zhao family away with just one sentence.

Zhao Cheng was so frightened that his eyes bulged out and his body shook like a sieve.

When he saw the imperial guards coming in to drag him away, he immediately knelt down and crawled to the feet of Emperor Wu of Liang, begging desperately.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Please show mercy and give me a chance to make amends for my crime..."

"Your Majesty, if I cannot bring the foreigners back, it will not be too late for Your Majesty to execute me, Your Majesty!"

"I will definitely capture the foreigners, chop them into pieces, and recover the burial objects. I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance..."

Two imperial guards stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Cheng's arms and dragged him out.

Yu Huaqian looked at Zhao Cheng, who was crying with snot and tears, and sighed softly, his eyes full of sadness. Emperor Wu of Liang is now moody, and it is really like living with a tiger.

"Your Majesty!! Please have mercy on me..."

"Give me a chance to redeem myself, Your Majesty!"

"..."

Seeing that the imperial guards were about to drag Zhao Cheng out of the imperial study, Zhao Cheng's eyes bulged and he shouted even more urgently.

“…Wait!”

Emperor Wu of Liang looked at the crying Zhao Cheng with cold eyes and slowly uttered these two words.

Zhao Cheng, who was as disheartened as a ray of hope, was like finding sweet dew after rain. He excitedly shook off the hand of the imperial guard and crawled into the imperial study on his knees.

"I...I am a guilty subject. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy..."

Zhao Cheng sniffed and choked up, "I will definitely catch the foreigners..."

"I'll give you one month. If you fail to capture the foreigners, you'll have to wait for the Zhao family to collect their bodies..."

Emperor Wu of Liang glanced at Zhao Cheng indifferently, and his cold lips spoke even colder words.

Sending someone else to capture foreigners is definitely not as hardworking as Zhao Cheng.

With the Zhao family keeping Zhao Cheng under control, there is no need to worry that he will not work diligently.

"....Yes, yes, yes..." Zhao Cheng paused and nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace... I will definitely catch that group of foreigners..."

This is enough to buy the Zhao family a month.

Zhao Cheng knelt at the feet of Emperor Wu of Liang to express his gratitude, his eyes flashing slightly.

"You haven't fainted from hunger yet?"

The empress brought the gap-toothed female official to the cell door and looked at the beggar who was alive and well in the cell, her eyes widened in shock.

"Has anyone come in?"

The empress frowned slightly and turned her head to look at the chief guard who was guarding outside the cell.

"Your Majesty, no one came in!"

The chief guard also looked confused, but he was sure that no one had come in.

During these five days, he didn't even open the door of his cell. The key was always hanging on him.

When the empress heard this, she became even more confused.

She turned her head to look at the dirty beggar in the cell. She really couldn't understand how a person who had been hungry for five days could become more and more energetic.

Looking at the beggar's increasingly sharp eyes looking at her, the empress couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

The intimidating power of this look was so great that it seemed as if he could tear her to pieces if she took a step forward.

The toothless female officer glanced around the cell and saw a pile of excrement in the corner. She frowned in disgust.

"Hey, he won't eat those things, will he?"

"Ugh~~~~"

The toothless female official pointed at the pile of excrement, covered her chest and couldn't help but dry-heaving.

This madman will eat anything to survive.

The empress looked in the direction the gap-toothed female official pointed, and immediately felt a foul odor coming towards her.

When she first came in, her attention was on the beggar and she didn't notice the unpleasant smell in the cell.

Suddenly seeing such a large pool of excrement, I immediately felt that the cell was so smelly that I couldn't breathe.

The empress frowned and held her breath, quickly glanced at the excrement, and then shook her head.

"No, those things don't look like they've been moved..."

The empress really didn't want to take a second look, so she could only tell the guards,

"Go in and check if there are any signs of those things being scratched, and then clean them up."

"Yes!"

The chief of the guards responded and immediately went in with a few of his men to clean up the dirt.

The empress and the female official with the gap-toothed man quickly retreated outside the cell, took two deep breaths, and waited quietly.

Xiao Yunhao sat cross-legged in the cell, holding a whip.

When the guards came in, he immediately looked at the leader of the guards with sharp eyes.

The guard leader's heart skipped a beat, he glanced at the whip in Xiao Yunhao's hand, and quickly pointed at the pile of excrement.

"We are here to help you clean up the mess, not to fight with you..."

They all saw the scene where the arrogant female official was beaten up by this madman that day.

This madman is someone you can't afford to offend, so he'd better be polite to avoid suffering physical pain.

He observed carefully and found that this madman was not completely unable to understand human language, but was just very alert. It was obvious that he had rushed out from a pile of dead bodies, and he was full of murderous aura.

Xiao Yunhao glanced slightly to the side, then quickly looked back, pursed his lips and looked at the guard without saying a word.

He still held the whip tightly in his hand, as if he would not move until his enemy could move.

The chief of the guards curled the corners of his lips slightly, and immediately waved his hand to have his men clean up the dirt.

He placed his hand gently on the hilt of the sword at his waist, looking at the beggar with a stiff smile on his face, to prevent the beggar from suddenly going crazy and attacking.

The leader of the guards glanced at Xiao Yunhao's wrists and ankles.

The crazy beggar's wrists and ankles were covered with broken skin and flesh, and it was obvious that he had been injured by pulling out his bracelets and anklets.

This crazy beggar is a cruel man. He is cruel to others and even crueler to himself.

After a while, the guard leader walked out with his subordinates.

"Your Majesty, the cell has been cleaned up. There are no signs of scratching on those things. They are all well preserved."

The chief of the guards carefully asked his men and found out that those things were indeed intact.

The crazy beggar always defecates in the same place, which is quite particular.

He had observed crazy beggars. Although they were extremely dirty, they basically smelled of blood, not excrement, which also meant that it was impossible for crazy beggars to eat those things.

The empress frowned slightly, walked to the cell door again, and stared at the crazy beggar in the cell.

The toothless female official rolled her eyes in anger when she saw the crazy beggar still holding her whip in his hand.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the courage to go in and provoke the crazy beggar.

The gap-toothed female official rolled her eyes.

"My Lord, he looks so strong, why not call more people to fight him in turns to consume his energy..."
