After thanking Master Fang, Hong Yao and Lu Liu got up to leave… As for when the prefect died and why, who cared? As long as he was dead, that was good. No one would dare speak carelessly about such matters!

“Wait a moment, you forgot the money. And where’s the other person locked up?”

The two women, barely containing their excitement, picked up the silver notes. Then, pointing towards the bedroom, they said indignantly, “There! The master used to stay in that bedroom. The person locked inside is called Zhou Dahai. He’s cut from the same cloth as the prefect! He often bullied us and helped the prefect do his dirty work!”

Lian Gui waved his hand, “Alright, I got it. You can go now.”

The two women bowed again before leaving.

After they left, someone beside Lian Gui asked, “Brother Gui, telling them this won’t cause any problems, will it?”

Lian Gui replied nonchalantly, “What problems could it cause? The entire city is under the master’s control now. Didn’t you see those two women? When they heard the prefect was dead, they were as happy as if their dead father had crawled out of his grave.”

“And they’re so pretty, they must have suffered a lot. They’re pitiful souls. The master would surely say the same!”

“Come on, there’s still one called Zhou Dahai, right? Let’s quickly release him. We still need to get back to the boat to watch the show.”

With that, Lian Gui led the way out of the woodshed.

At this time, Zhou Dahai’s eyes were bloodshot as he wriggled on the ground.

Fang Zheng hadn’t intended to torture him; he had simply forgotten about him.

Two days without food or water, plus his internal struggles, had pushed Zhou Dahai to his physical and mental limits.

Not only was his entire body aching inside and out, but his ears were also ringing.

Previously, he had been conflicted about whether to give in or not.

Now, his only regret was why he hadn’t given in earlier!

If he had given in earlier, at least Fang Zheng wouldn’t have tortured him like this, and he could have enjoyed life with him.

Given too late, with that pervert’s temperament, it wouldn’t be surprising if he forced himself on Zhou Dahai.

Zhou Dahai secretly vowed that when Fang Zheng arrived, he would give in immediately! Right away!

Now he was nearly out of his mind, only wishing for immediate release!

Suddenly, Zhou Dahai faintly heard footsteps, not just one person, but many.

He laughed bitterly.

It seems he was hallucinating… There had never been so many people in the residence, and Hong Yao and Lu Liu always entered the room after Fang Zheng!

If there were footsteps, it must be Fang Zheng.

He’s here, he’s here, I’m going to be free!

Hope surged in Zhou Dahai’s heart, and he began to use his waist strength, arching up hard.

With great effort, he managed to stand himself up.

Then, on his knees, he inched towards the door bit by bit.

Seeing he wasn’t far from the door, Zhou Dahai slowly turned around, facing away from the door.

Then he began to use his fingers to slowly pull at the edge of his pants, inching them down bit by bit.

As the footsteps grew closer, Zhou Dahai’s heart beat faster and faster. In his heart, he let out a silent cry.

I give up! I give up!! Do whatever you want!

Then take me to enjoy wealth and prosperity. I never want to live like this again, not even for one more day, damn it!!!!

With a bang, the door was pushed open.

Hearing the door open, Zhou Dahai closed his eyes and cried out in despair, “Let’s begin! I’ve made up my mind!”

“………..”

“???!!!”

Seeing the suddenly exposed sight at the door, the six burly men were struck dumb!

What the hell is this situation!?

The men looked at each other in shock, feeling their worldviews shatter.

Lian Gui swallowed hard as he looked on…….

“Tsk~ What’s going on here?”

“Tch tch, who knew the master, with his delicate features, had such extreme tastes.”

“Maybe he’s the master in this situation?”

The men began to discuss among themselves.

Hearing the discussion, Zhou Dahai’s mind went blank. His whole body instantly stiffened, and he slowly turned his head.

He saw six large men pointing and gesturing at him.

“Who are you!?” Zhou Dahai roared.

At this moment, he felt utterly humiliated, as if something inside him had shattered.

He tried desperately to pull up his pants with his fingers.

Unfortunately, while it was easy to pull them down, getting them back up was impossible…..

However, his efforts weren’t entirely in vain. With his whole body straining, Zhou Dahai managed to roll onto his side, curling up into a ball.

Seeing this, the crowd burst into laughter.

“Aiya! The bastard’s feeling shy now!”

Lian Gui licked his lips: “Brothers, you all go out. Leave this to me!”

“Is that appropriate, Brother Gui? He’s the master’s person.”

“Yeah, Brother Gui, it’s not right to eat someone else’s leftovers.”

Lian Gui revealed an evil smile: “You don’t understand anything. I can tell at a glance, the master definitely hasn’t touched him. This guy’s so eager, so I won’t be polite! You all go out!”

The others pouted and left the room.

Then Lian Gui carefully closed the door, turned back, and excitedly rubbed his hands.

“Good brother, I’m here!”

“I’ve never seen anyone as eager and proactive as you in my life.”

Zhou Dahai’s face showed terror: “What are you doing? What are you going to do? I’m Assistant Prefect Fang’s man! Get out of here!”

“Assistant Prefect Fang? Hehe, he doesn’t want you anymore. I’m here now!”

“Don’t come any closer!!!”

Zhou Dahai’s eyes were about to pop out of his head as he began to go into a frenzy.

The other five men sat in the pavilion outside, sweating as they listened to the tragic sounds coming from the room.

“I didn’t know Brother Gui had such preferences… I’ll have to keep my distance from him in the future.”

“Hey, doesn’t the master have the same taste? What about Zhang Biao, always by the master’s side…”

“Don’t guess wildly. Maybe that Zhou Dahai was the one getting frisky?”

As the five men were chatting, suddenly another huge roar came from the room.

“Holy! Crap!!”

Then they heard a loud crash, and a naked figure burst through the broken wooden door.

He ran towards the small pond not far away and dove in with a splash.

Then he began to scrub himself frantically.

The five men quickly ran to the edge of the pond. Seeing it was Lian Gui, they were dumbfounded.

“Damn, Brother Gui, did you let one rip?”

Seeing people gathering around, Lian Gui’s face turned bright red. Without a word, he dunked his head underwater.

“What the hell, why are there chives in the water?”

“Brother Gui, are you alright? How did you finish so quickly?”

Lian Gui still didn’t surface from the water, only a few bubbles slowly rising.

The five men looked at each other, seeming to realize something. They turned and ran back to the bedroom.

As soon as they reached the bedroom, they were thunderstruck!

On the floor, on the bed curtains, on the cabinets…

Precious traditional Chinese herbs were spattered everywhere.

The source of the mess lay whimpering on the ground…..

The five men covered their noses and mouths, silently closing the already damaged door.

They retreated to the pavilion, speechless…….
