Chapter 055: I am not talented, but I know a little about boxing
The severed palm fell to the ground, staining the area with blood.
The onlookers were so frightened that they stepped back one after another.
Eunuch Zhou screamed in pain, fell off the carriage, and rolled around on the ground in a curled-up state.
Seeing this, Shen Haoyue snorted coldly and retracted his gaze.
Looking at the blood-stained sword, he threw it aside in disgust.
He has always been a germaphobe, so since the sword was stained with blood, he naturally had to throw it away.
In fact, when he was at the Shen family just now, he wanted to cut off the dead eunuch's hands.
He didn't want to dirty the Shen family's floor, so he endured it.
But unexpectedly, this dead eunuch still didn't know how to live or die, and dared to point at Shen Ningyuan's nose in public.
This is intolerable!
If you don’t want your hand anymore, just chop it off!
Chen, who was in another carriage, immediately lifted the curtain after hearing the screams outside.
After seeing the severed palm on the ground, he was so frightened that he let down the curtain and trembled in the carriage.
"Mad, crazy, the Shen family is really a bunch of crazy people, lawless!"
As he spoke, Chen put his hands together and silently chanted "Amitabha" in his heart.
When Ji Zehai saw the cut on Eunuch Zhou's wrist, from which large streams of blood kept oozing out, he was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Ji Zehai pointed at Shen Haoyue tremblingly, "You..."
Halfway through his words, Ji Zehai realized something and quickly retracted his hand.
She asked in a trembling voice, "Eunuch Zhou is close to the Empress. How could you cut off his hand? How do you want me to explain this to the palace?"
This was the person he had specifically asked the Queen for in order to put pressure on the Shen family.
If anything happened to Eunuch Zhou, he would also be to blame.
Thinking of this, Ji Zehai's heart was in a mess.
Why is it that whenever he encounters the Shen family, he is always the one who suffers?
"How to explain to the palace is your business, it has nothing to do with me." Shen Haoyue snorted coldly, "Anyone who is rude to Yuan'er deserves to die!"
Shen Haoyue deliberately emphasized the last sentence, which made Ji Zehai's heart tremble.
They had no choice but to turn their attention to Eunuch Zhou and help him up from the ground.
"Eunuch Zhou, are you okay?"
“I’m not good!”
After standing up, Eunuch Zhou took several breaths of cold air and looked at Shen Haoyue in horror, “Shen Haoyue, you are just a weak scholar, how can you know martial arts?”
Hearing this, Shen Haoyue raised his eyebrows slightly.
He comes from a family of generals, so it would be strange if he didn't know martial arts.
It's just that he has been good at writing since he was a child, so everyone subconsciously assumes that he doesn't know martial arts.
Thinking of this, Shen Haoyue raised his brows even higher.
He cupped his hands and made a martial arts salute, saying, "I am not talented. Although I am just a scholar, I know a little about boxing. I am not as strong as my eldest brother. I am sorry to make you laugh."
Seeing his sly smile, Eunuch Zhou was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He shouted angrily, "Just wait, I will not let this matter go!"
As he spoke, Eunuch Zhou held Ji Zehai's hand and climbed tremblingly into the carriage.
Seeing Ji Zehai standing in front of the carriage like a fool, motionless, Eunuch Zhou kicked him in the heart.
"What are you still standing there for? Pick up my hand and go back to the palace to ask the imperial physician to reattach it!" Eunuch Zhou pointed at the severed palm on the ground with his intact hand and shouted tremblingly.
Ji Zehai was kicked and fell to the ground. He didn't care about the piercing pain in his body. He crawled and rolled towards the place where his broken palm was and reached out to pick it up.
But at this moment, a large silver-gray wolfdog jumped out from somewhere, bit the severed hand on the ground, and then rushed into the crowd of onlookers.
Eunuch Zhou sat in the carriage, watching this scene, feeling as if his heart was frying in oil.
He immediately pointed in the direction the dog left and yelled, "Ahhh my hand, my hand, what are you still standing there for? Go and take my hand back!"
After saying this, Eunuch Zhou's men immediately chased after the dog.
But they had not walked far when the dog rushed out from another direction, put the severed hand in its mouth on the ground, and stared at Eunuch Zhou motionlessly.
It seems to be asking: Are you looking for this hand?
Eunuch Zhou suddenly became more anxious, and immediately turned around and continued to shout: "Over there, over there, the dead dog is here, quickly take your hand back!"
Hearing Eunuch Zhou's shout, the dog picked up the severed hand again and quickly ran into the crowd.
By the time Eunuch Zhou's men pushed the crowd away and chased after the dog, the dog had disappeared.
Eunuch Zhou's face turned even paler than before, and he said hesitantly, "My hand... was taken away by a dog?"
It was quiet all around, and no one responded to Eunuch Zhou's words.
The people watching had different expressions on their faces after watching this farce.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Eunuch Zhou's eyes widened and he fell straight into the carriage.
Ji Zehai quickly got up and rushed over to check on Eunuch Zhou's condition.
After confirming that he was fine and just fainted, Ji Zehai breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly called his men to send Eunuch Zhou back to the palace for treatment.
Shen Haoyue watched this scene coldly, his face was cold and expressionless.
But when he turned his gaze to Shen Ningyuan, his expression immediately softened.
Shen Haoyue asked gently, "Yuan'er, I didn't scare you just now, did I?"
He was afraid that Shen Ningyuan would feel uncomfortable seeing such a bloody scene.
Shen Ningyuan sat in the carriage and shook his head calmly, “Second brother, I’m fine.”
"That's good." Shen Haoyue breathed a sigh of relief.
When he looked at Ji Zehai again, his eyes returned to their previous coldness.
"Today, the Ji family must clear your name!" Shen Haoyue emphasized through gritted teeth.
Shen Ningyuan responded softly: "Of course."
The Ji family wanted to force her into submission by spreading rumors, but she would let them know what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
At this time, seeing people from the palace taking Eunuch Zhou away, Ji Zehai was still very anxious.
Turning around and looking at the expressionless Shen Haoyue, he couldn't help but shudder again.
After some psychological preparation, Ji Zehai still walked towards Shen Haoyue with his head held high, trying to pressure him with what happened just now.
"My dear nephew, you see that things have become like this. Why don't we go back to the Ji family quickly and not let these people laugh at our two families?"
Shen Haoyue snorted coldly and did not respond to Ji Zehai. He just bent down slightly, quickly pulled out a guard's sword, and put it on Ji Zehai's neck.
Looking at Ji Zehai, whose face was pale, Shen Haoyue raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Master Ji, things have become like this, do you think there is still a need for our two families to discuss it?"
"The condition for my sister to return to the Ji family is that the Ji family must state the truth in public and clear her name." Shen Haoyue glanced at the people watching on both sides of the street, "It just so happens that there are so many people here now, Lord Ji, you can start now."
As he spoke, Shen Haoyue pressed the sword down heavily, and blood immediately oozed from Ji Zehai's neck.
