"Haha~, I'm rich, I'm rich!"

A man covered in blood, wielding a long knife, ran out of Wang Yuan's room and burst into laughter.

His chest was bulging, as if it were stuffed with something.

The man had just run out of the house when he saw three burly men wielding long knives running out of the backyard.

Upon seeing this, the man's expression changed, and he hurriedly clutched his chest and ran towards the gate of the mansion.

"Chase!!"

The three men knew that this person had made a considerable gain, so they immediately gave chase.

The man ran very fast, and in just a few moments he rushed out of the mansion gate and onto the street, where he immediately spotted a patrol of soldiers in the distance.

"Help!!"

The man immediately threw down his long knife, shouted, and ran straight towards the group of soldiers.

"Um?"

Upon hearing the commotion, Li Jue, who was leading the team, stopped in his tracks.

"General... someone wants to kill me!"

As he ran closer, the man clutched his chest, panting, and pointed behind him.

"Oh? Someone is so audacious as to do this in broad daylight?"

Li Jue raised an eyebrow and then looked in the direction the man was pointing.

Just then, three burly men wielding long swords rushed out of Wang Yuan's residence.

"past!!"

Upon seeing this, Li Jue immediately waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him ran in that direction, while the three burly men also turned and ran.

"stop!!"

The soldier roared and gave chase, causing a brief commotion in the street.

Seeing this, the man also turned around, preparing to slip away.

But before he could take a step, Li Jue grabbed him.

"Kid, you're covered in blood, you've killed quite a few people, haven't you?"

Li Jue glanced at the man with a cold smile, his gaze finally settling on the man's chest.

"General... I... I didn't... I didn't kill anyone!"

The man panicked and quickly denied it, while still tightly clutching his chest as he spoke.

"If you didn't kill anyone, where did the blood on you come from? Did someone smear it on you?"

Li Jue sneered, then clenched his right fist and, with lightning speed, slammed it into the other man's lower abdomen.

"Ugh!"

The man groaned as he was struck, then bent over and squatted down, the object in his arms spilling out with a clatter.

"Ha! So it was a case of the thief crying 'Stop thief!'"

Looking at the gold ingots and various jewels scattered on the ground, Li Jue couldn't help but sneer.

"Money, my money, my...!"

The man seemed not to hear Li Jue's words, and frantically grabbed the gold ingots and jewels on the ground, stuffing them into his arms.

Judging from his appearance, he seems to have lost his mind because of this money.

"Sigh~, people like you are just a waste of food to be alive!"

Li Jue shook his head and sighed, then drew his long sword and ended his life.

At the same time, the three burly men who had escaped were also captured by the soldiers and brought before Li Jue.

After some questioning, Li Jue learned about the situation in Wang Yuan's mansion. He ordered his men to kill the three strong men and then led his men to Wang Yuan's mansion.

At this moment, Wang Yuan's mansion was filled with corpses lying in pools of blood, and various treasures were scattered all over the place.

"My God, is this the work of Captain Yang?"

Seeing the people still killing each other with bloodshot eyes, Li Jue, who had killed countless people, was greatly shocked.

This tactic reminded him of Cheng Yu, who had stayed in Xiliang back then.

"Stop it, all of you!!"

Once Li Jue came to his senses, he immediately roared, trying to stop the chaos before him.

Unfortunately, like that man, those people were so tempted by the treasure that they forgot everything else and ignored the arrival of Li Jue and his men.

"Damn it, get them! Anyone who disobeys, kill them without mercy!"

Seeing that those people dared to ignore him, Li Jue was furious and charged forward with his knife.

Soon, Li Jue rushed to the two servants who were fighting, and without saying a word, he raised his long sword and slashed at them.

In just two rounds, the two men died after Li Jue fell, and the remaining soldiers rushed into the battle.

With the intervention of the Imperial Guards, the chaos at Wang Yuan's residence was quickly quelled.

Of the original three hundred or so servants, only fifty or so remain.

"Take all these traitors away!!"

Looking at the survivors kneeling on the ground, Li Jue wiped the blood from his face and then led his team away from there.

Not long after they left Wang Yuan's residence, a soldier came to report that another residence had fallen into chaos.

"Haha~, great! I wasn't done killing earlier, so here we go again!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue laughed loudly and then led his men over.

At the same time, Huang Zhong, Guo Si, Gao Shun, Fan Chou and others who were on patrol also received a report and went to He Chu's residence to suppress the rebellion.

Thus, Yang Qiu sent his eunuchs to arrest people everywhere, while Huang Zhong and others went around putting out fires and suppressing rebellions.

Those servants, without the command of powerful figures, were like headless flies, unable to organize any effective resistance, and were quickly quelled.

Three days later, the matter in Wu County was settled, and Huang Zhong, Li Jue, Gao Shun and others led 5,000 Imperial Guards to rescue Fuchun.

At this time, 40,000 rebel troops had been besieging Fuchun for half a month. They had attacked the city many times, but all their attacks were met with fierce resistance and they returned empty-handed.

On the city wall, the magistrate of Fuchun County gazed at the distant rebel camp with a sorrowful expression, feeling utterly helpless.
