"You jest, sir."
Before Prince Ono could even take the wine, Ōmono-no-shu tilted his head back and drank the entire cup of wine in one gulp.
This guy turned the cup upside down.
"My lord, please see this wine is safe. My lord, even if you gave me ten thousand lives, I wouldn't dare to tamper with this wine."
"Prince Ono, do you think this wine is safe?" Jiang Tian glanced at Prince Ono.
Prince Ono grabbed the sake jug and threw the lid away.
“My lord, we’ll know whether this wine is safe or not with just one try.” Ono kicked the lord to the ground.
This guy poured the whole jug of wine into the big boss's mouth.
"You unfilial son, what are you doing?" The Great Lord looked on in astonishment.
Prince Ono placed his foot on Ōmonogatari's chest and shouted to the assembled officials, "Emperor Ōmonogatari is cruel and tyrannical, and he plotted to harm you and me. Today, I, Ono, will act on behalf of Heaven and kill this beast."
"Prince Ono drew his katana with a whoosh."
Everyone present was stunned.
"Your Highness, that is your father. Do you intend to commit regicide?"
"Your Highness, put the knife down immediately."
At that moment, the Great Lord began spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
The blood was incredibly foul-smelling.
The blood that the big creature spat out sprayed onto the ground, and the ground immediately hissed and steamed.
“This beast deserves it,” Prince Ono said, kicking the Ōmono-no-suke hard in the chest.
"Xiao Ye, go and summon the imperial physician to save your father," Jiang Tian said coldly.
It's too good for the big boss to die like that.
"My lord, what use is saving him?" Before Prince Ono could finish speaking, he lightly swung his katana.
With a whoosh, the big creature's head was chopped off.
Everyone at the scene immediately panicked.
The civil and military officials were extremely shocked.
They never expected that Prince Ono would personally cut off the head of Ōmonono.
"Guards, arrest him!" Jiang Tian roared, pointing at Prince Ono.
Before Li Yuanba and his men could make a move, the palace guards pinned Prince Ono to the ground.
"Baka yarou, what are you doing? Let me go right now!"
"Let me go right now! What do you want?"
"His Majesty the Emperor is dead. I am the Emperor here."
"Anyone who dares to touch me, believe me or not, I'll kill you all."
Prince Ono kept struggling to break free.
But these people had Prince Ono firmly under their control.
Jiang Tian waved his hand and said coldly, "The crime of killing one's father is unforgivable. Prince Ono has broken the law and deserves to die."
After being paraded through the streets for three days, he was executed by slow slicing.
Prince Ono wanted to say something more.
This guy was dragged out like a dog.
"Jiang Tian, what did you promise me... Jiang Tian, you bastard..." Before Prince Ono could finish his curse, a deafening slap echoed from afar.
Immediately afterwards, several pieces of rag were stuffed into Ono's mouth.
The streets were brightly lit.
Lanterns were lit at the door of every household.
The sound of gongs clearing the way rang out.
Prince Ono was placed in a prison cart.
There was another vehicle in front of the one that was carrying none other than the Ōmono-no-suke, whose head had been chopped off by Prince Ono.
The head of the giant pig was hanging on the car.
The entire court of the Japanese imperial palace walked on either side of the carriage of the prince.
As these civil and military officials walked, they shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Prince Ono killed His Majesty the Emperor at the banquet."
"Lord Jiang has decreed that this crime of patricide is the most heinous of crimes. Prince Ono will be paraded through the streets for three days, and after three days, he will be executed by slow slicing."
Within an hour, everyone in the capital knew.
Chaos has broken out in the palace.
The city was in chaos.
The more than 10,000 people sent by Jiang Tian to accompany Prince Xiao Ye all came before Jiang Tian.
"My lord," the leader of this group of over ten thousand people was none other than Chen Feilong's younger brother, Chen Feihu, "we have discovered a large number of Japanese samurai beheading civilians in the city."
"My lord, shall we make a move?"
Jiang Tian shook his head: "Clear everyone inside and outside the palace, leaving only the palace maids."
"Let those Japanese samurai within the city kill as they please, as long as it doesn't threaten your interests and safety."
"Wait until they have killed most of the people, then you can make your move and, in the name of judgment, wipe them all out."
"promise……"
I glanced at Chen Feihu these past two days: "Tell those Japanese samurai that all scalp hunters must clear the corpses out of the city for me."
"I don't want the city to stink."
"promise……"
“Go…” Jiang Tian waved his hand gently, “Bring Miss Shangguan in.”
"promise……"
The sounds of killing filled the air.
The scalp hunters mingling in the city became even more excited when they saw the chaos around them.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city.
To these scalp hunters, these people were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.
Hundreds of scalp hunters have been brought into the city, and more and more scalp hunters have quietly entered the city.
The city gates were closed.
Kyoto has become a living hell.
Chen Feihu led 10,000 soldiers on horseback to patrol the city.
"The lord has ordered that you may kill, but you must clean up the bodies afterward."
"No one is allowed to disturb the lord's rest."
