When Fu Yu and the others saw the disheveled state of Xu Datou and his men, they could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
"You son of a bitch!"
Xu Datou had transformed into a jetpack warrior and could barely stand. He only managed to utter one curse before losing all his momentum.
Few of the people around him were good either; some were vomiting uncontrollably, others were drooling and laughing like idiots, or they were uncontrollably spraying with Xu Datou.
Fu Yu pinched his nose, made a disgusted expression, and made no attempt to hide his disdain.
Xu Datou still wanted to lead the resistance, but he was too weak and had long since become a spineless coward.
Fu Yu had the Wang family members dragged to Xu Datou's place, but seeing their disgraceful behavior, Fu Yu lost interest.
"Look at this pack of dogs, or rather, to call them dogs would be an insult to dogs."
"I get tired of looking at these things after a few more glances."
"Big brother, let's get started, I'm going to throw up if I keep watching."
"Yeah, brother, this is indeed a bit disgusting."
"Some wear and tear during the exile is normal, isn't it?"
The officials behind Fu Yu also spoke up, saying that the scene was indeed unsightly and they couldn't stand it either, and they were also glad that their group hadn't eaten.
The Wang family was terrified, unable to control their shameful behavior while simultaneously crying and begging.
"Lord Fu, Lord Fu, I was wrong! Spare my life! From now on, I'll do whatever you say!"
"Lord Fu, spare my life!"
Despite the group's pleas, Fu Yu remained unmoved.
Xu Datou's face was already ashen. He hadn't expected Fu Yu to be so ruthless. He knew there was no way to turn the tide now, so he didn't want to bow down to Fu Yu at the last moment.
"If we all die here, Lord Cheng will not let you off!"
"Lord Xu, you don't need to worry about me."
Seeing that Xu Datou was no longer begging for mercy, Fu Yu was disappointed and slashed Xu Datou's neck with his knife.
Blood sprayed into the sky, Xu Datou's eyes widened, and his burly body slammed directly to the ground.
"Kill them all."
"Yes, sir!"
The officials around Fu Yu also raised their knives and began to reap lives.
Wang Jiao rushed out, snatched Fu Yu's knife, and desperately stabbed at Wang Tongji.
His face was ferocious, unlike that of a ten-year-old child; he looked more like a devil collecting debts.
Wang Tongji was slashed dozens of times, his flesh mangled, before Wang Jiao turned and rushed toward Xu Datou, who was already dead.
He chopped off the head with one stroke, then severed the man's genitals, crushed them to pieces, and then hacked the man to pieces. He was weak, so it took him quite a while to chop him up.
The surrounding officers and soldiers all gasped. Nowadays, people take their afterlife very seriously, and many people cannot accept that their bodies are incomplete.
Fu Yu clapped his hands. "You've got guts, kid."
Having said that, he ignored him and led the crowd away.
"Brother, isn't this kid going a bit too far?" Someone felt a chill run down their spine upon seeing Wang Jiao's actions.
Fu Yu didn't think so. "If my relatives die with their eyes open in disgrace, I will make sure they die without a complete corpse."

Where is Li Qingyao?
Once the dust had settled, Li Qingyao had already brought his mother with him.
"My lord, I am here."
Li Qingyao seems to be moving around quite freely. Fu Yu smiled again; he'd met two interesting kids today.
"You haven't eaten, kid?"
"Yes, sir, I ate it, but..."
Li Qingyao hesitated, and the reason was indeed hard to explain.
"Just what?"
"Wang Jiao was hungry, and my mother and I couldn't bear to see him like that, so we only ate a little bit, and the rest is here."
This was the first time Li Qingyao had witnessed such a bloody massacre, and his expression was not good. However, he noticed that Fu Yu had not killed Wang Jiao, so he mustered up the courage to tell the truth.
"Haha, I didn't expect Wang Jiao to come."
“I know him. He's the one who buried my sister.”
The thin Wang Jiao stared intently at Li Qingyao with his dark, deep eyes.
"Yes, it was him. This food was also left for you by him and his mother."
Fu Yu laughed and patted Wang Jiao on the shoulder, pointing with one hand at the grain that Li Qingyao had taken out.
A look of surprise flashed across Wang Jiao's face.
"Now that Xu Datou is dead, I don't like to torment people, so you can rest assured that we will have no further contact once we get there."
"Yes, sir."
Fu Yu only spoke to the remaining people after seeing Li Qingyao lead them back.
They instructed everyone to give the same story: that they had been attacked by bandits. They also ordered people to dig a pit and clean up the scene.
After that night, no one dared to sleep soundly, and they would occasionally let out a terrified scream, clearly having nightmares.
When Wang Jiao returned, he was covered in blood. Seeing his miserable state, Yan Shi couldn't help but feel sorry for him and found one of Li Qingyao's clothes for him to change into.
"Although it's long, it's fine to tie it up properly."
Yan tore a piece of cloth from the corner of her clothes, added some water, and barely managed to wipe Wang Jiao's wounds. Then she took out the medicine that Li Qingyao had given her earlier and applied it to all of Wang Jiao's wounds.
"Go to sleep."
Madam Yan wanted to touch Wang Jiao's head, but saw Wang Jiao take a step back.
"You don't seem afraid of me at all. You all saw it clearly, and there was something wrong with the food. I put poisonous mushrooms in it."
Yan was surprised. Recalling the scene at the time, her face turned pale again. She had vomited then.
“You did nothing wrong, so why should we be afraid? You’re just a child, yet you have to bear all this. You’ve done better than any of us adults. If anything happens to Yao’er, I’ll risk my life to make them pay a bloody price.”
After Yan finished speaking, she sighed deeply. She was speaking her true thoughts. She couldn't imagine what kind of willpower it took for a child to go through all this, to suppress the pain, and to plot revenge.
She couldn't help but feel even more sorry for the child.
"You're alone, and there are two of us. How about you become Yao'er's younger brother from now on?"
Wang Jiao was no less surprised than Yan Shi, but it seemed to be understandable. After all, while some people did not agree with him, others seemed to genuinely understand him.
"If you are truly not afraid of me, then fine."
Wang Jiao, Yan Shi, and Li Qingyao officially began to work together.
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th of August.
Pan Jinhua took the money and had someone follow the officials to a nearby town to buy meat, as a way to add some extra food for everyone.
When Fang Xiang relayed the news from Li Qingyao's side, Pan Jinhua finally learned of all the events that had transpired there. She had initially sent people to protect him throughout the entire ordeal, but it turned out that Xu Datou was not someone to be trifled with; he was greedy and lecherous.
Fang Xiang had no choice but to give Li Qingyao money in private before leaving. Pan Jinhua could only sigh at their plight. She then ran into Li Qingyao and his group again behind the escort agency. The situation in the group had improved considerably. Fang Xiang again secretly sponsored Li Qingyao, but did not dare to really get close to Fu Yu.
Fu Yu is a ruthless character. They are neither officials nor criminals. If their secrets are discovered, they will have a weakness in someone else's hands. Fang Xiang dares not show any closeness to Li Qingyao, and only provides some money behind people's backs.
To await what comes next.
