26: Chapter 26 Slaying Wei Congnian

In a dead-end alley not far from the vegetable market, Xiaoqing pressed herself against the wall, eyes tearful, looking at the few men before her with a face full of anger.

The leader was a man in luxurious silks. His eyes stared greedily at Xiaoqing's figure, and he kept making clucking sounds.

"I really didn't expect there to be such a beauty in Gu Cang City nowadays. This Young Master is truly lucky today!"

"Hahaha! Little beauty, don't be afraid."

"I am the son of the Prefectural Lord of Cangyue Prefecture. If you follow me, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."

"Come, come over! Let this Young Master pamper you properly!"

Wei Congnian laughed lewdly. After speaking, he couldn't help but walk towards Xiaoqing, reaching out to touch her.

His lackeys behind him, seemingly accustomed to this, guarded the alley to prevent anyone from entering and disturbing Wei Congnian's fun.

Xiaoqing looked at the demonic hand reaching towards her, despair appearing in her beautiful eyes, and she bit her lip lightly.

She secretly made up her mind that even if she had to die, she would not submit to Wei Congnian.

"Your Highness, let us meet again in the next life!"

Just as Xiaoqing was about to commit suicide, Chen Zhiwen's figure instantly appeared before her.

"Your Highness!" Seeing Chen Zhiwen appear, Xiaoqing's face was instantly filled with excitement.

When Chen Zhiwen turned and saw the tear stains on Xiaoqing's face, the killing intent in his heart reached its Peak.

Chen Zhiwen reached out and grabbed the hand Wei Congnian had extended, applying slight pressure.

A bone-chilling, hair-raising cracking sound came from Wei Congnian's palm, and Wei Congnian's face immediately turned the color of pig liver.

Just as he was about to let out a howl, Chen Zhiwen kicked him in the chest.

Wei Congnian's lackeys only saw a figure fly past them with a whoosh and slam heavily onto the ground.

The scene was silent; the lackeys looked at Chen Zhiwen with dull expressions.

They seemingly hadn't expected that in this Gu Cang City, there was still someone who didn't recognize Wei Congnian, let alone dare to lay a hand on him!

It wasn't until Wei Congnian on the ground let out a painful wail that the lackeys recovered and ran over to check on his injuries.

They carefully helped Wei Congnian up from the ground. At this moment, the bones in his palm were all shattered, presenting a strange shape. Several ribs in his chest were also broken, causing Wei Congnian to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Wei Congnian stared at Chen Zhiwen with resentment, his gloomy eyes looking as if he wanted to peel Chen Zhiwen alive.

"Who are you! How dare you hurt me? Do you not want to live anymore!" Wei Congnian roared.

Chen Zhiwen looked directly at Wei Congnian with an indifferent expression, his face unmoved.

One of the men beside Wei Congnian seemed to recognize Chen Zhiwen and leaned into Wei Congnian's ear to whisper, "Young Master, he seems to be the Fifth Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty."

Wei Congnian was stunned upon hearing this. That Fifth Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty?

The one who was demoted to Cangyue Prefecture and wanted to seize his father's real power—Chen Zhiwen?

Wei Congnian's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he ordered the lackeys beside him, "What Fifth Prince? Stop talking nonsense!"

"He is just a commoner. This Young Master now orders you to kill him!"

"Whoever can avenge this for me will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up. In the end, greed overcame their reason.

They drew their respective weapons and gradually closed in on Chen Zhiwen.

Looking at these people, Chen Zhiwen smiled coldly, "Kill them all."

As soon as the words fell, a dazzling sword light suddenly appeared in the alley. By the time the sword light dissipated, those men had fallen to the ground, losing their lives.

Leng Feng held his sword, appearing behind Wei Congnian and blocking his path.

Looking at the dead men, Wei Congnian finally knew fear. His eyes were covered with terror, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Chen Zhiwen walked slowly to Wei Congnian, his gaze like a torch, and said in a low voice, "You wanted to kill me just now?"

Wei Congnian denied it, "No... no! Your Highness, you must have misheard!"

"As a Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, your status is noble; how could a lowly one like me dare to harm you?"

Chen Zhiwen smiled playfully, "Could it be that my eyes were playing tricks on me just now, and I had a hallucination?"

Wei Congnian forced a smile, remaining awkwardly silent.

Chen Zhiwen glanced at him indifferently, then took Xiaoqing and walked out.

Passing Leng Feng, Chen Zhiwen instructed, "Kill him."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Congnian's expression changed, and he shouted in terror, "Chen Zhiwen, I am the son of the Prefectural Lord! You cannot kill me!"

Chen Zhiwen sneered inwardly. The son of the Prefectural Lord?

It was the son of the Prefectural Lord that he wanted to kill!

Chen Zhiwen had indeed been worrying about how to force Wei Wei to come out and see him.

Now, it was perfect; Wei Congnian had jumped out to seek death himself. If Chen Zhiwen didn't kill him, who would he kill?

Chen Zhiwen didn't believe that after killing his son, Wei Wei would still be able to hold back and pretend to be sick.

Facing Wei Congnian's shouts, Leng Feng didn't give him a chance to continue barking. He drew his sword and ended his life with one strike.

Walking out of the alley, Chen Zhiwen let Xiaoqing return first, while he had Leng Feng carry Wei Congnian's corpse towards the Princesss Residence.

He had been in Gu Cang City for half a month, and Chen Zhiwen no longer had the patience to keep wasting time with this Wei Wei. Today, Wei Wei must hand over the real power of Cangyue Prefecture!

On the way to the Princesss Residence, the commoners in the city cast curious glances at Chen Zhiwen and Leng Feng.

When the commoners saw the appearance of the corpse carried by Leng Feng, their faces all revealed expressions of disbelief.

They all recognized that it was the only son of the Prefectural Lord, Wei Wei—Wei Congnian!

Regarding this, the commoners didn't say anything on the surface, but in their hearts, they all cursed, "Good riddance."

It can be seen that Wei Congnian's evil deeds in Gu Cang City over the years had long since aroused public anger.

As Chen Zhiwen and the others got closer to the Princesss Residence, some onlookers gathered behind them. When Chen Zhiwen arrived at the gate of the Princesss Residence, the guards watching the gate saw this and immediately went to report.

Soon, Huang Qitong ran out from the Princesss Residence.

"This subordinate pays respects to Your Highness." Huang Qitong looked at the unharmed Chen Zhiwen, feeling a bit guilty, his eyes dodging.

Chen Zhiwen nodded indifferently in acknowledgment.

"Your Highness, I wonder why you have come today?" Seeing that Chen Zhiwen was not suspicious, Huang Qitong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion.

Chen Zhiwen waved his hand, and behind him, Leng Feng immediately threw Wei Congnian's corpse at Huang Qitong's feet.

Huang Qitong looked down and gasped.

"This person wanted to commit an indecent act against my maidservant at the vegetable market today, and I caught him on the spot."

"After the matter was exposed, not only did he not restrain himself, but he also tried to attack me, so he was executed on the spot by my man."

"Now I have brought his corpse here; please trouble yourself to help me dispose of the body," Chen Zhiwen said calmly.
