I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, a great battle is imminent, and you actually ran away with the gold and silver? What is your punishment?!"

"How heartbroken the soldiers below would be if they knew!"

Dong Jin reached out and grabbed the bundles on the shoulders of several women, and pulled them forcefully.

With a whoosh, the room was filled with gold and silver valuables, which were scattered all over the floor, glittering in the sunlight.

He clenched his fists and said angrily.

The women quickly dropped the bundles they were carrying and protected the children as they retreated to a corner.

They were all wives of the Dong family and wanted to escape before the fighting started, but Dong Jin discovered them and cornered them in the alley.

The middle-aged woman at the head of the group opened her arms and said, "Dong Jin, we can't win this battle. Why don't we take the children and leave? As long as we're alive, we can always fight another day."

"When the children grow up, they will never forget the blood feud of the Dong family!"

Upon hearing this, the other women nodded in agreement, and several of them cried and begged Dong Jin to spare their lives, as they did not want to die.

Dong Jin, unyielding and impartial, gripped the hilt of his sword and said, "You're all cowards before the battle even begins; you're all deserters. Letting you go will only demoralize the army!"

Seeing that Dong Jin refused to let them leave, the woman in the lead became anxious, pointed her finger at Dong Jin's nose, and scolded him:

"Dong Jin, don't push your luck!"

"You're nothing more than a member of the Dong family, an illegitimate son, not even ranked in the Dong family. If it weren't for the turmoil in Jiangnan, who would have the right to point fingers?"

"I order you to get out of the way immediately!"

Dong Jin did not back down an inch, and even drew the knife from his waist.

In his entire life, what he hated most was being called a son of a concubine.

Don't let his status as a marquis in the capital fool you; he may seem powerful and imposing.

But back then, he was a member of the Dong family who had been abandoned.

No one respects him, even though he is now a marquis and the pillar of the Dong family.

But these women could point their fingers at him and curse him whenever they wanted, and he hated them!

Seeing Dong Jin slowly draw his knife, the leading woman cried out in alarm, involuntarily stepping back and pointing at Dong Jin, saying:

"Dong Jin, what are you doing? How dare you draw your sword!"

The crisp sound of a longsword being drawn echoed continuously. Dong Jin said expressionlessly:

"Draw my sword? What's wrong with me drawing my sword, sister-in-law? I'm sorry, blame yourself for deserting. Even if I kill you, the old masters won't say anything."

"Grandpa?"

The woman in the lead was taken aback, then realized what was happening and quickly said:

"Wait a minute, Dong Jin, do you know who told us to leave?"

The long sword was fully drawn, its cold light gleaming. Dong Jin gritted his teeth and said hatefully:

"I don't care who told you to leave, the Dong family cannot have any deserters."

Seeing Dong Jin closing in, the leading woman no longer held back and shouted:

"It was the old master who told us to take the children and leave, Dong Jin, how dare you disobey the old master!"

Dong Jin was stunned. It was the old master who told them to leave. How could that be?

call!

The next moment, Dong Jin swung his sword fiercely, the long blade slicing through the air with a whooshing sound.

The women screamed in terror, their faces paling, and they all scrambled to back away.

"Sister-in-law, no wonder you're not pretty and your family background isn't top-notch, yet you're the eldest sister-in-law of the Dong family. Most people would really be fooled by you."

Dong Jin stepped forward, grabbed the woman's long hair, and dragged her to the ground, holding a long knife to her snow-white neck.

The woman trembled with fear, but forcibly suppressed her terror, glaring fiercely at Dong Jin and saying, "Dong Jin, how dare you!"

Dong Jin laughed, his face contorted with rage: "What wouldn't I dare to do? I'll not only kill you, but I'll also kill them, and these little brats."

"Once you are all dead, I, Dong Jin, will be the head of the Dong family, and my son will be the legitimate heir of the Dong family."

After saying this, Dong Jin was about to raise his long knife and cut off the woman's head.

Unexpectedly, a series of chaotic footsteps came from inside the mansion, followed by a shout:

"Dong Jin, how dare you!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Dong Jin immediately lowered his raised arm, changed from holding the knife with one hand to holding it with both hands, and bowed, saying, "Greetings, sir."

The visitors were none other than the old masters of the Dong family.

Upon seeing the old men arrive, the women immediately grasped at this lifeline, crowding around the old men's feet and crying as they spoke:

"Grandpa, help us! You must do us justice!"

"Dong Jin is rebelling; he wants to kill us all, even the children!"

Upon hearing this, the old men leaned on their canes and looked at Dong Jin. Dong Jing felt guilty and didn't even dare to raise her head.

The eldest patriarch, who was in charge, raised his cane and struck Dong Jin without saying a word.

Dong Jin dared not fight back and was forced to retreat repeatedly, eventually falling down the steps.

With a clang, the knife in his hand was knocked to the ground.

The old man stood on the steps, looking down at Dong Jin, and said, "Dong Jin, you really have a lot of nerve. You've been in the capital for a few years, and you've forgotten who you are, haven't you?"

"Please calm down, sir. Dong Jin wouldn't dare..."

Dong Jin stammered.

"I wouldn't dare. Is there anything in this world that you, Dong Jin, wouldn't dare to do?"

"If I had known this would happen, I should have smashed you to death back then."

"You and your mother are the same, both of you are worthless."

The old man cursed mercilessly.

Dong Jin's mother was not from a noble family; she was just a maid in the household. Dong Jin was born after he was drunk.

Like his mother, he was disliked by everyone in the household from a young age, and anyone could bully them.

Dong Jin suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed on the eldest master.

You can insult him, but you can't insult his mother.

Everyone has their Achilles' heel, and Dong Jin's mother was his Achilles' heel; touching her would mean certain death.

"Hey, you little brat, you dare glare at me, old man!"

"Give me another glare and see what happens."

The old man was furious and raised his hand to strike his cane again.

To everyone's surprise, Dong Jin did not dodge anymore, but instead stretched out his arm and easily grasped the cane that was being struck at him.

The old man was shocked and even angrier. He tried to pull his cane back, but found that he couldn't pull it back no matter what he did.

Dong Jin suddenly let go, and the old man almost fell on his backside due to inertia.

If it weren't for someone helping me up, my old bones would have been broken.

Seeing Dong Jin making fun of the eldest master like this, the other masters couldn't bear it any longer and angrily rebuked him, saying the most offensive things they could think of.

Dong Jin saw their true colors firsthand.

Dong Jin remained silent, only smiling coldly as he slowly bent down and picked up the knife from the ground.

Seeing Dong Jin pick up the knife, the old men instinctively stepped back.

As they retreated, they warned Dong Jin, "Dong Jin, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you really going to rebel?"

"You little bastard, don't think you can cause trouble in the Dong family just because you've been in Beijing for a few years!"

"Guards! Seize this little bastard!"

Upon hearing this, none of the surrounding soldiers moved; they all remained expressionless.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Dong Jin suddenly burst into wild laughter, "Grandpa, do you really think I, Dong Jin, am still that child in the Dong family who you could beat and scold at will?"

"Times have changed. I, Dong Jin, must thank you properly for sending me to the capital. Otherwise, where would I be today, the Marquis of Wuyang?"

"This is outrageous! This is truly outrageous!"

The old men cursed angrily, their faces turning bright red.

Dong Jin simply waved his hand, ordering his soldiers to seize the men.

Women, children, and old men are no match for strong and robust soldiers.

Soon, they were all captured, their heads were held down, and they were forced to kneel on the ground.

Dong Jin paced back and forth in front of them, brandishing his knife, his face a mixture of smugness and arrogance.

He looked up at the sky, wishing his mother were still here.

The humiliation I suffered as a child, I will repay today.

"Dong Jin, you little bastard."

"Our Dong family has truly raised an ungrateful wretch!"

The old men were still cursing, showing no fear of death whatsoever.

Of course they weren't afraid of death, because they had already lived long enough.

"Grandpa, you're right. I, Dong Jin, am an ingrate."

"I have to thank you for your 'careful' guidance back then. Without your guidance, there would be no Dong Jin today."

"Today, you are all dead. I, Dong Jin, am now the head of the Dong family!"

"Don't worry, the Dong family will be even better off under my leadership!"

"Rest in peace..."

After saying that, Dong Jin raised his knife and beheaded the eldest master.

The women screamed in terror, their voices hoarse.

Dong Jin flicked the blood off his knife and prepared to chop down the second one.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden change occurred. An endless stream of people, wielding hoes, knives, and forks, surrounded the Dong family from all directions.

A soldier rushed in to report, "Your Excellency, a civil uprising has broken out in the city. They are demanding that you open the city gates and surrender..."
