"The death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life cannot be escaped. The village is short of manpower. All 32 people are detained. From today on, all the hard labor will be done by them."
"Yes, leave it to me." Eunuch Hai said in a deep voice.
All 32 people breathed a sigh of relief and hope rose in their hearts. As long as they could survive, there would always be a chance to escape.
Situ Xiu sneered, seeing through the tricks these people were planning at a glance, and said in a deep voice, "How did you get here tonight? You better remember this. No matter where you are, you can't escape from my grasp. If you don't believe me, just try it. I'll kill anyone who catches me."
The voice fell.
When they heard the last word "death", all 32 people looked desperate. Although they all had martial arts skills, they didn't know what was going on when faced with the strange things happening tonight. They fainted for no reason and arrived at Xiuhe Village when they woke up.
This is one point. The key point is that their escape routes are closely connected. There were no mistakes and no wasted time. They must have ridden their horses for a long distance without stopping. It was impossible for anyone to catch up with them.
As a result, he was caught in a confused manner. It was weird... very weird.
Eunuch Hai and Li Wei looked at each other, their eyes communicating, and no one knew what they were thinking.
But when the two looked at the Fourth Prince, their eyes changed subtly.
From now on, the Fourth Prince is their heaven.
Just imagine, if he is so experienced at the age of 9, wouldn’t he be so terrifying when he grows up...
Li Wei took 32 people with him. All of them were crushed by the Fourth Prince's words. The last glimmer of hope in their hearts was shattered. All 32 people looked ashen. No one would think of escaping because they were all afraid of death.
After everyone had left, only servants and maids were left in the hall. Eunuch Hai looked at Situ Xiu from the side, waiting for instructions.
After a moment of silence, Situ Xiu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Where do the playboys in Kyoto usually go to have fun?"
"Tianxiang Garden, Huakui Tower, and Yiqu Garden are the three major entertainment places in Kyoto." Eunuch Hai thought for a while and said.
"Tell me about it."
"Tianxiang Garden welcomes scholars and scholars to write poems, songs, calligraphy, and paintings."
High-end club, cultured people, Situ Xiu’s evaluation in his heart.
"The Oiran's House is a place of fireworks, filled with beautiful girls and handsome men, and it entertains wealthy people."
Ordinary clubs and hair salons have a clientele consisting of wealthy businessmen and dignitaries, Situ Xiu thought in his heart.
"Yiqu Garden is the place where the upper-class officials and businessmen of Kyoto live. It only entertains women and does not accept men. It is said that the girls there are all good at singing and dancing, and are especially good at singing and acting."
A top-level club, with very high requirements, Situ Xiu nodded secretly.
However, Eunuch Hai, you have become a eunuch, but you know these places so well.
Feeling the strange gazes, Eunuch Hai explained, "I also heard what my godsons were talking about."
"Oh my god, these young eunuchs really care about those places."
Situ Xiu complained in his heart.
He has now confirmed that the three spoiled young ladies are playing in the Oiran Building and Yiqu Garden. Apart from these two places, you can't expect them to enter Tianxiang Garden.
"Your Highness, are you planning to go to Kyoto to confront them?" Eunuch Hai frowned, with some guesses in his mind.
"Your Highness, please don't forget that you cannot enter Kyoto. There are guards at the city gates. No one will let you in without His Majesty's order."
Situ Xiu frowned slightly, picked up the teacup and took another sip, thinking secretly in his heart.
The Great Sage's capital is more heavily guarded than those of previous dynasties. There are people from the Six Gates patrolling day and night. When martial arts masters come, they must behave themselves. No one can break into the capital by force, and even if someone does, they will be dead.
No matter what the reason, if you break in and get caught, you will be imprisoned for life if you don't die.
There are martial arts circles in this world, and there are also people who practice martial arts in the imperial court. In terms of system, the imperial court suppresses the martial arts circles. As mentioned earlier, the Great Sage would send the three major sects to participate in the martial arts competition held every ten years during the Three Kingdoms period, which is enough to show that the Great Sage is quite powerful.
As for how powerful the Great Sage is?
Situ Xiu didn't know because he was a man and couldn't reach the higher levels of the Great Sage. Also, because of his young age, he didn't inquire about many things.
After a moment of silence, Eunuch Hai glanced at Situ Xiu, hesitating for a moment before speaking, "Your Highness, if you are unhappy and need to vent, I suggest you report this matter to the Empress..."
At the end of his speech, his voice became much softer. He knew that the Fourth Prince did not like to let others know about this little thing, including the Empress. But if this matter was kept secret, the Fourth Prince would not be happy either. It would be better for the Empress to punish the three women. After all, there was evidence.
Situ Xiu shook his head. This time he did not blame Eunuch Hai. Instead, he said, "It's late. Let's take a rest today and do what we need to do."
"Yes." said Eunuch Hai.
Situ Xiu returned to his room, lay on the bed, and thought to himself.
He was in a very calm mood. The loss of more than ten acres of land was nothing. Now that the criminals were caught, the anger in his heart had long since subsided.
He was now wondering where the three women were.
That's right, they must enter Kyoto and intimidate some people. Although he is the fourth prince and a man, he will not allow himself to be bullied.
