Chapter 205 The Rich Family Reeks of Meat and Wine!
Chu Xun seemed to be mocking him, but in fact, he was angry, unconvinced, and sad.
When he thought that his parents had been imprisoned, himself had been put into prison, and Hua Qingwu was being frozen, the rage in his heart kept growing.
“Chu Xun, the Liu Family has lost power and influence. We have all received the punishment that we deserve. And Xiangru is also dead. Please forgive us and forget the whole matter.”
Two lines of tears rolled down Liu Zizai’s cheeks.
“You do not deserve to say these words. Tell me, have you ever thought about letting my family go?”
Chu Xun’s words were filled with endless indifference.
“What has happened will not change even if you kill us. Why don’t we make peace with each other? In the future, we will make up for what we owe you.” Liu Zizai said with pleading eyes, voice full of self-blame.
But Chu Xun only looked at him apathetically, gaze indifferent.
After a long time, he said coldly, “Liu Zizai, you are afraid of death, aren’t you?”
Liu Zizai’s eyes twinkled rapidly as he lowered his head. Then, he raised his head and said, “Chu Xun, you underestimated me. What’s there to be happy about living? And what’s there to be afraid of death?”
“Is that so?” Chu Xun sneered. His True Energy swirled around him and his momentum suddenly turned terrifying, which twisted the air in the hall and made it hard for everyone to breathe.
“Since you’re not afraid, go to hell!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xun patted in mid-air and a palm print that was made up of True Energy fell.
Plop!
Everyone was shocked. Liu Zizai directly knelt down and screamed,
“Please spare me... don’t kill me...”
Liu Ran’s eyes dimmed. She had thought that Liu Zizai was sincerely remorseful, so she felt a little bit sorry for the miserable situation that the Liu Family had fallen into. Now it seemed that she was really too merciful.
The palm hit the ground.
Boom!
The ground exploded, and the earth and stones flew everywhere. Terrifying cracks were spreading on the ground.
“Aren’t you righteous? Have you said that you are not afraid of death? Liu Zizai, you are really disgusting. You are so hypocritical that I feel that killing you myself will soil my hands. If you want to drag out an ignoble existence, do not pretend that you are not afraid of death.”
Chu Xun’s words were full of disgust for Liu Zizai.
“You... get up.” Liu Baifeng looked at Liu Zizai, who was kneeling on the ground, and roared. He did not even want to call him father.
“What’s there to be scary about death? Get up,” Liu Baifeng roared, “Chu Xun, kill him, and then kill me.”
Chu Xun’s gaze was indifferent as he said, “If you want to die, I will fulfill your wish.” Then, his True Energy gathered in his palm.
“You bastard, come on, kill me.” Liu Baifeng shouted.
Murderous light flickered in Chu Xun’s eyes.
“Little Xun, I have something to ask him.” At the crucial moment, Liu Ran suddenly said.
Chu Xun nodded in silence. He dispersed his True Energy and retreated to the side.
Liu Ran walked up to Liu Zizai and said, “You may get up.”
Liu Zizai was stunned. He also thought it was embarrassing for him to kneel down like this, so he stood up and said with a flattering smile, “Little Ran, please persuade Chu Xun. I know I was wrong. The Liu Family has already been punished. Please let us go.”
Liu Ran was in a trance. She used to fantasize about talking to Liu Zizai face to face.
Back then, she had only caught a glimpse of him from a distance.
However, when she stood in front of him face to face now, she suddenly felt extremely disgusted. She felt that what her mother and she had done was meaningless.
“Back then, we pleaded with you, but you shut us out. How cruel you were! Tell me, did you sleep well in that heavy rainy night?”
“I...” Liu Zizai opened his mouth and did not know what to say.
“Haha...” Liu Baifeng suddenly laughed crazily and said, “Of course he slept well.”
“Shut up!” Liu Zizai shouted angrily.
Face full of disdain, Liu Baifeng said, “Liu Ran, do you think he shut you out because he had no other choice? In fact, he was unwilling to lose power. If he accepts you two, he might lose his position of the householder. You should be glad that you are still alive. Do you think that you are the only illegitimate child he has? He even has ordered to kill two...”
“Shut up... shut up...” Liu Zizai roared crazily.
Liu Ran was stunned and felt a churn in her stomach. All of a sudden, she retched.
The other members of the Liu Family also found it hard to believe. If what Liu Baifeng had said was true, then Liu Zizai was too terrifying.
“Why?” Liu Zizai shouted at Liu Baifeng.
“Aren’t you feel shameless to ask why?” Liu Baifeng’s face was full of ferocity as he said, “How did my mother die? Do you think you did it flawlessly?”
Liu Zizai trembled and said in horror, “What do you know?”
“In those days, my mother’s family was not weaker than the Liu Family. In order to take over the position of householder, you flattered her by saying sweet words, and then you poisoned her and raped her. She had no choice but to marry you and help you become the householder. But what have you done? When you got a firm foothold, you thought that she was an eyesore and she knew too much. So you asked someone to kill her. Is that right?” Liu Baifeng roared with crazy eyes, as if he wanted to eat Liu Zizai.
“You are talking nonsense...” Liu Zizai roared with a panic expression.
“Am I talking nonsense? You even dared to murder the top official. What else did not you dare to do?”
Liu Baifeng was crazy. He wanted to die, so he dared to say anything now.
As soon as Liu Baifeng finished his words, the members of the Liu Family were scared to half death and their legs softened.
There were no crimes more serious than murdering the top official. If it was true, none of the Liu Family would be spared.
“The painting of tiger you gave to the top official was an evil painting made by the First Presbyter of Heaven Tao Sect, Wu Changfeng. There is an evil spirit of tiger in the painting. Long-term exposure to it is harmful to one’s soul. If things continue this way, one’s temperament will change greatly, and he will become irascible, irritable, and mentally unstable...”
“You ungrateful man. I raised you up and even passed on the position of householder to you. How dare you talk nonsense and frame me up here?”
“Bah...” Liu Baifeng spat a mouthful of blood on Liu Zizai’s face and said, “I framed you? In order to make a fortune, you cooperated with foreign forces, sold out the country’s information, and even murdered the top chief. Others don’t know about these things, but how can I not know...”
“You bastard, I will strangle you to death...” Liu Zizai crazily pounced forward and squeezed Liu Baifeng’s neck with both of his hands.
Liu Baifeng was being constricted by the Reincarnation Line. Besides, he was injured. Therefore, he could not stop Liu Zizai and could not help rolling his eyes when his throat was squeezed by Liu Zizai.
Chu Xun moved his fingers slightly and withdrew the Reincarnation Line. Then he watched the show of dog-eat-dog with indifferent eyes.
As soon as Liu Baifeng regained his freedom, he pushed away Liu Zizai with red eyes, who was squeezing his neck.
Anyway, Liu Zizai was old. Being pushed suddenly, he staggered backward a few steps.
The air rushed into Liu Baifeng’s throat and he bent over and began to cough violently. He gasped like a broken bellowing.
When he was no longer out of breath, he was about to straighten his waist.
Bang... whoola...
A heavy vase broke on his head, and the fragments flew everywhere.
Liu Baifeng did not even make a sound before he fell to the ground. Scarlet blood was spreading on the ground.
Liu Zizai’s face was full of madness. The broken vase had cut off his hand, but he did not notice it at all.
“Liu Baifeng, you cannot talk nonsense again, can’t you...”
A soldier went forward to check Liu Baifeng’s breath, and then shook his head at Chu Xun.
When everyone saw the soldier’s movements, they could not help feeling a chill in their hearts.
Liu Baifeng was considered an ambitious man of his generation. He was very smart and had racked his brains to get what he wanted, but ended up being killed with a vase by his father.
Liu Ran was frightened by Liu Zizai’s viciousness and trembled. He actually killed his own son. What else couldn’t he do?
Everyone began to believe what Liu Baifeng had said before. At first, everyone thought that Liu Baifeng had been talking nonsense because he could not bear his son’s death and the collapse of Liu Family. Now, it seemed that what he had said might be true.
“It is said that even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. You are really worse than a beast. It is a waste for you to live. I will send you to hell.”
Chu Xun’s face was full of disgust. He raised his hand and was about to kill Liu Zizai. It was a waste for such a person to live in the world.
“Little Xun...” Liu Ran shook her head at him and said, “He deserves to die, but you cannot kill him. You’d better leave him to the state.”
Chu Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. In his view, there were only two kinds of people. Those he should kill and those he should not kill. There were no people that he could kill or could not kill.
He knew that Liu Ran was worried about the blood relationship. She was afraid that if he killed Liu Zizai, his reputation would be influenced in the future.
Since Liu Ran had said so, Chu Xun had to obey. Anyway, Liu Zizai was doomed to die. The top official would never let him go.
As for other members of the Liu Family, they would also be punished.
“Take them in and bring them to trial!” Chu Xun ordered.
The members of the Liu Family were all taken away as they shrieked and howled.
There were only Chu Xun and his parents left in the hall.
Liu Ran looked around. This was the place where she had wished to come most when she was a child. But now, she felt that it was extremely horrible.
“Little Xun, let’s return to Gujiang!” Liu Ran said.
“Let’s go. We will not be in the capital city for the rest of our lives,” Chu Tianhe sighed and said.
From ancient times, the rich family reeked of flesh and wine because there was too much to eat while poor people died of frost or hunger. Even if one had lots of money, it was all in vain in the end.
The Liu Family, which had lived in glory for nearly a hundred years, had completely collapsed.
