The chivalrous spirit is fickle

"Master, this man just forced a maid to jump into the sea."

Upon hearing this, Manager Liu replied angrily.

"Cuizhu made a mistake, and I just scolded her a few times. Who knew she would be so upset? Shouldn't I say anything if I did something wrong?"

"I paid her such a high salary, am I asking her to come back and be my ancestor?"

Shen Yue became furious when she heard this and wanted to kick Manager Liu in the face, but was stopped by Shi Gu.

"Nonsense, Cuizhu told me everything."

"You promised her a hundred coins a month, but you took advantage of her because she couldn't read. After she signed the contract, she only got twenty coins a month."

"But even these twenty cents are often deducted, and only a few cents are left after receiving them."

"Cuizhu gets up early and goes to bed late every day, but she can't even get enough money to go home. She kneels down to serve you masters, and you touch her, beat her, and scold her. Her body is covered with bruises, but she dares not resist."

"If she resisted, she would be whipped. They also poured the food on the ground and made her eat it while lying on the ground."

"Her father is seriously ill, but she doesn't even have the money to go back home. But you just blamed her for the death on the ship and deducted her salary for next month."

"I'm going to beat you to death today!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Liu sneered and spoke with confidence.

"She is a servant of the Jin Mansion. If she doesn't do well, she will be punished. How can you, an outsider, discipline her?"

"If you want to blame someone, blame her for being stupid. She really thought that others would spend a hundred coins to hire a piece of trash like her."

When everyone heard this, they frowned slightly and felt that what Manager Liu did was inappropriate and a little too arrogant, but they did not stand up to say anything. After all, this was the Jin family's own business, and they were sitting on the Jin family's big ship, so how could they say anything?

After all, he was just a servant, and his status could not compare to a monster attack.

Jin Buwan looked at the angry Shen Yue with a sullen face and said in a cold voice.

"My dear brother, no matter what, this is our Jin Mansion's business. Even if Manager Liu was wrong first, I should be the one to discipline him, not an outsider like you."

Shi Gu also sighed and said to Shen Yue.

"You did something wrong about this."

Shen Yue was stunned when she heard that, then she calmed down and looked at Shi Gu in confusion and asked.

"Master, why do you say that?"

Shi Gu touched Shen Yue's head and taught her.

"You beat this guy up now, and it's a relief, but what will happen to Cuizhu after you leave?"

Shen Yue's pupils shrank slightly, and her heart trembled.

Yes, after I leave, Cuizhu will probably end up in a situation worse than death, much worse than now.

Shi Gu spoke to Shen Yue earnestly.

"So we have to kill him, chop off his head, take out his organs, and hang them on his body."

The scene suddenly fell into deathly silence, and everyone looked at Shi Gu in surprise. Manager Liu was stunned at first, and then became angry. He was about to shout, but saw Shi Gu turned around and looked at him.

The air was filled with murderous intent, as if facing an abyss.

Jin Buwan wanted to scold Shi Gu loudly, but when Shi Gu looked at him, the piercing murderous aura was like a steel knife, falling all over him. The fear was like a small insect, drilling into his bones and gnawing back and forth.

He was afraid, but he had to block Shi Gu.

This must be a bluff. I cannot retreat, otherwise my own steward will be killed right under my nose and I will not be able to save my face.

Shi Gu looked at Jin Buwan who was standing in front of him and asked seriously.

"Do you want to die?"

Take a day off

My friend is getting married. Actually, we are not really friends, but just acquaintances. However, I still have to follow the proper etiquette, so I can only travel to attend the wedding. So there will probably be no update today. I may update a little at night, but I probably won’t be able to spare the time during the day.

Chapter 23: Ogre (Part 3)

"Do you want to die?"

Shi Gu said this very seriously, deep down, he was a man who had no scruples about killing people, he was the Tribulation Killer of All Heavens, and when he asked this question, he was never joking.

The murderous aura was restrained, without a single leak, but Jin Buwan was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He swallowed and wanted to explain that he should be the one managing his own family.

He has a lot of reasons and he is good at persuading others.

Jin Buwan's face twitched slightly, but he couldn't utter a word and stiffly moved away.

When Manager Liu saw this, he was shocked. In fear, he went forward and hugged Jin Buwan's thighs and began to cry loudly.

"Master, Master, I have watched you grow up. Do you really want this man to kill me?"

"I can correct what I did wrong. I can't die... I can't die yet."

Jin Buwan's face turned pale. Manager Liu had said such things. If he continued to watch the man die without helping, his reputation would probably be in tatters.

Someone will definitely say that he is cold-hearted and doesn't care about old friendships.

Jin Buwan clenched his fists, but he didn't have the courage to look at Shi Gu. He could only look to other people for help.

The crowd of warriors who were watching were, after all, sitting on the big ship of the Jin Mansion. Seeing that Shi Gu was getting aggressive, someone came out to persuade him.

"My brother, although this man made a mistake, his crime does not deserve death. It is better to teach him a lesson instead of killing him."

"That's right. Let this man apologize to the girl named Cuizhu and pay off the wages. There's no need to kill anyone."

"After all, this man didn't kill anyone. It would be much better for him to reform in the future than to kill him."

Shen Yue heard clearly while everyone was persuading her, and was somewhat moved. She pulled Shi Gu's clothes and spoke softly.

"Master, this man's crime really does not deserve death, otherwise..."

Before Shen Yue could finish her words, Butler Liu's face was covered and squeezed by Shigu's big hand.

Butler Liu immediately started screaming and wailing like a pig being slaughtered. Everyone was stunned and felt unhappy. They tried to persuade Shi Gu but he ignored them. This was too ignorant.

"My brother, there is a saying in the ancient city, which goes, 'Forgive others when you can.'"

Shi Gu said calmly without even looking at the person who spoke.

"There's a saying in my hometown, 'Things must rot before insects can be born.'"

"It's not the first day that he has been the steward. The Jin family is a wealthy family, how could they not be able to pay a hundred coins? It's obvious that the steward has deducted the money."

"Today, the little girl named Cuizhu met my apprentice and survived, but in the past, how many people were forced to death by him?"

"Aren't you blind? Can't you see how many maids there are on this ship? As long as he is alive, people will be forced to death, beaten to death, or exhausted to death."

"He is greedy and cruel enough. If I let him go today, he will blame everything on that maid."

"As a local tyrant, he would kill Cuizhu's family, throw her parents into a lime jar, fill it with water, burn them alive, and destroy all evidence."

“This is the most common method.”

Shi Gu pulled Manager Liu's face over and asked in a low voice.

"Let me ask you, have you ever done anything like this?"

Manager Liu's face turned pale and he could not utter a word. He just remained silent, and this silence was the best answer.

Everyone was also silent. In the past ten years, they had heard of many such cases, where bodies were completely unrecognizable and soaked in the tank, and it was impossible to tell who they were. Shi Gu stopped talking and just clenched his hands.

Hiss! Amid the sounds of tearing flesh and screaming, Manager Liu's head was torn off, and his neck, spine, and a large piece of white bone were pulled out.

Seeing this, everyone was horrified. Although they knew Shi Gu was going to kill, they didn't expect it to be so bloody and cruel.

Shi Gu picked up Manager Liu's head and threw it casually, leaving the head and spine outside the house as if he was throwing away a piece of garbage.

Everyone was shocked and frightened, and even felt that Shi Gu was even more terrifying than the man-eating monster.

"excuse me."

Shi Gu wiped the blood off his hands, turned around and left. Seeing this, Shen Yue followed him closely and asked in a low voice.

"Master, why don't you just strangle him to death? Why do you have to make it so disgusting?"

Shi Gu stepped out of the door and casually kicked Manager Liu's head to a place where the crew members were gathered in the distance. Instantly, there were screams of fear and sounds of vomiting.

"Manager Liu is dead, but his lackeys are still alive. I tore off his head just to let those people see it."

"In the future, if they want to do anything to Cuizhu, they will subconsciously think of Manager Liu. I want them to understand what the price is and what fear is."

"Even if we don't guard against these people, we still have to guard against Jin Buwan, who has lost face, and takes his anger out on Cuizhu and other servants."

"You can't be too gentle when dealing with evil people."

Shen Yue nodded, but then looked at Shi Gu with curiosity and asked.

"Master, you seem a little different?"

Shi Gu was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized that his physical strength had recovered a little. Although the murderous aura was restrained, it was still somewhat different from before.

It’s not that he has become a different person, but after his physical strength recovered, he seems to be a little too decisive and ruthless, he patted Shen Yue’s head and said.

"Stop imagining that and let's go back to our little boat."

Shen Yue raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion.

"Are we going back now? Didn't a seventh-rank warrior die on this ship?"

Shi Gu raised his head, looked at the sun which was getting higher and higher, and said with squinted eyes.

"That monster attacked more often during the day yesterday, but it chose to attack at night. I don't think it will attack during the day, but will come out at night."

"Why, are monsters afraid of sunlight?"

"No."

"Then why did he do it at night?"

"It's his meal time in the evening."

"...Master, I'm not really a fool. When you tell lies, can you please think carefully before you speak?"

"Hmm? You're not stupid?"

"master!"

……

After Shi Gu left, everyone collected Xiang Zhiwei's body. There was no coffin on the boat, so they had to put him on the bed. Perhaps it was to save face, or perhaps they were resentful of Manager Liu for dragging them into the water in order to save his own life.

Jin Buwan did not collect the body of Manager Liu, but left his body where it was, in the same room with Xiang Zhiwei's body.

The sun rose higher and higher, but encountered thick clouds, blocking all its light. When the sunlight faded, a pair of eyes slowly opened.

On the bed, the dead Xiang Zhiwei opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the body of Manager Liu, and revealed his sharp teeth.

Chapter 24: Zombie (I)

Dark clouds gathered, layer upon layer, leaving only gloom and darkness growing.

In the dark room, Xiang Zhiwei, who had died long ago, opened his eyes. His pupils were cloudy and covered with a thin layer of blood.

Xiang Zhiwei turned around stiffly and fell to the ground, looking straight at the body of Manager Liu. He crawled over using his hands and feet. His limbs were stiff and clumsy.

It was a short distance, but it took him a long time to reach the body of Manager Liu.

A pale hand reached out, grabbed the big hole on Manager Liu's neck, and pulled him in front of himself. The blood had dried, and the flowing blood coagulated and no longer surged.

He stuck his head out and buried it in the big hole on Manager Liu's neck. He licked the coagulated blood, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, and then he began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Click, click.

The sound of wolfing down food slowly rang out in the dark room. No one could hear anything, only Xiang Zhiwei's body becoming paler and paler. His fingernails, which were grasping the corpse of Manager Liu, gradually turned black, grew longer, and became sharper, like a knife blade.

……

At the same time, on the big ship, Jin Buwan stayed indoors and seemed still angry about the insult he had suffered before. The others gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Zhao Gong sat on a chair, holding a wine glass and fiddling with it constantly. His face showed no joy or sadness, but he was a little nervous in his heart.

After he saw the line of blood words under the bed, he found it difficult to calm down. At that time, a voice in his heart told him that no matter whether the other party was a demon or not, he was no match for him.
