At this moment, a large crowd had gathered outside the gate of Dingtianque. They were all moved by Qiao Suinian's passionate speech.
"I never expected this person to be not only incredibly strong, but also a truly upright man. Look how easily he killed Gongsun Qianbai. If he were determined to oppose the Gongsun family, they would have a hard time dealing with him, right?"
"It can only be said that the Gongsun family has grasped his weakness! His weakness is these people in Dingtianque! It has to be said that the Gongsun family is indeed somewhat despicable!"
"Yes, what a pity for such a good man! If he had the chance to live, I would definitely have a good drink with him!"
"Don't even think about it, it's impossible! The Gongsun family will never let him go! He's dead!"
Everyone felt a little sorry; it was such a pity to lose such a good person.
"Shut up, all of you!" the long-haired man roared, and the people around him immediately cowered, no longer daring to speak up for Qiao Suinian.
No matter how heroic Qiao Suinian was, they wouldn't be willing to offend the Gongsun family for the sake of a stranger.
"Let's go!" The long-haired man grinned maliciously and pulled Qiao Suinian toward the Gongsun family.
He originally came to cause trouble, but he didn't expect to bring back Qiao Suinian, the culprit. Now the Gongsun family will definitely reward him handsomely.
The long-haired man quickly led Qiao Suinian to a grand mansion. The long-haired man humbly stepped forward and gently knocked on the door knocker.
"Lord Gongsun! I have brought back the murderer who killed Young Master Gongsun Qianbai!"
As soon as the long-haired man finished speaking, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly echoed through the once quiet mansion.
Then the door burst open, and a square-faced man with a sullen expression and a white goatee strode out. He was Gongsun Hui, the head of the Gongsun family!
"Good, good, good! Gongsun Chang, you've done a great job. Men, take him down to collect his reward, and bring this murderer in here!"
"Thank you, sir!" The long-haired man, Gongsun Chang, smiled very happily. He was not a direct descendant of the Gongsun family, but was merely given the surname Gongsun. He believed that the great reward promised by the Gongsun family would be extremely generous.
Gongsun Hui's chest heaved, clearly indicating his extreme excitement.
The person who killed his son was right in front of him, so it's no wonder that Gongsun Hui was so agitated. Although he had many sons, the death of one of them was still very painful for him.
The Gongsun family members forced Qiao Suinian to a classically elegant hall, then pressed down on his shoulders and forced him to kneel on the ground.
"You charlatan, take off his mask!"
Qiao Suinian's mask was removed, revealing an honest and simple face.
"Boy, I ask you, did you kill my son Qianbai?"
“Patriarch Gongsun, I did indeed kill your son. I take responsibility for my actions. I have no objection to your killing me, but I hope you will spare the others from Dingtianque!” Qiao Suinian said loudly.
"Hahahaha! One person does the deed, one person takes the blame? What a fine one person does the deed, one person takes the blame! Don't worry! I will definitely do it. I guarantee that after you die, everyone in Dingtianque will meet you on the road to the Yellow Springs!" A sinister look appeared on Gongsun Hui's face.
"You broke your promise! You lied! You old bastard! I'll kill you!"
Qiao Suinian was furious when he heard this. He struggled to get up and wanted to kill Gongsun Hui, but everyone here was from the Gongsun family. How could they possibly give him that chance?
Soon Qiao Suinian was pinned to the ground, and Gongsun Hui raised his foot and stomped on Qiao Suinian's head, grinding it hard.
"So what if I lied to you? Blame yourself for being so stupid! You fool! You dared to kill my son, Gongsun Hui? Of course I'll make you pay for this with your entire Dingtianque!"
"Men, hang him above the bustling streets of Kyoto! I want to watch him starve and die of thirst! Also, have men lie in ambush all around. If anyone from Dingtianque dares to come to his rescue, kill them without mercy. Then, use this as an excuse to raze Dingtianque to the ground!"
As expected of the head of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Hui quickly devised a series of vicious schemes.
"Gongsun Hui! You big rascal! You lied to me! And stop giving orders here. The crematorium told you to bring a bucket of Luhua peanut oil, saying your mother's cooking oil is a bit sticky. I'll f*** you! You bastard, I'll f*** you!"
Qiao Suinian started cursing loudly, his eyes filled with hatred, wishing he could devour Gongsun Hui's flesh and blood.
He sacrificed himself to protect everyone in Dingtianque, but Gongsun Hui lied to him. How could he accept that?
"Go ahead and curse! The louder you curse, the more vulgar it is, the more excited I get! Being fooled only proves you're stupid!" Gongsun Hui sneered.
Soon, Qiao Suinian was tied up and hung in the middle of the bustling city center of Kyoto.
Countless people passed by, pointing and whispering, their eyes filled with apprehension towards the Gongsun family.
"Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful! I heard that this is the real person in charge of the newly established Dingtianque. It is said that he was willing to be arrested in order to save the people of Dingtianque."
"The Gongsun family is truly ruthless. This man was at least a loyal and righteous hero. They could have just killed him with one blow, but instead they tortured him to death like this!"
"What do you know? Short hair means short brains. The Gongsun family is warning others!"
Gongsun Hui was undoubtedly making an example of someone; the consequence of opposing the Gongsun family would be being hung up and left to die of thirst and starvation.
At first, Qiao Suinian still had the energy to curse a few words, but the summer sun was particularly scorching. After hanging for a short while, Qiao Suinian's lips became dry and chapped, and he no longer had the strength to curse. It's unknown whether he regretted killing Gongsun Qianbai.
"Hehe, kid, thanks a lot. If you weren't so stupid, I wouldn't have gotten so many benefits!"
A long-haired man with a ruddy complexion walked over excitedly. It was Gongsun Chang. He had obviously received a lot of benefits from Gongsun Hui, and his whole body was radiant.
"You promised me that as long as I died, the Gongsun family would let the people of Dingtianque go. Why did you break your promise?" Qiao Suinian's voice was extremely hoarse, as if someone had stuffed a handful of sand into his throat.
"Hahahaha! I did agree, but Lord Gongsun didn't agree! How can you blame me? You're so adorably stupid, hahahaha!"
Gongsun Chang laughed without restraint, looking like a petty person who had gotten his way.
"Are you thirsty? Want some water? I happen to have a little bit in my bladder. If you beg me, I'll let you drink some, how about it?"
"Get out!" Qiao Suinian glared at him with red eyes, clearly extremely angry.
Gongsun Chang sneered, his expression instantly turning sinister. He clapped his hands, and his subordinates immediately brought over a bucket of manure, with countless greenbottle flies buzzing around it.
"You dare tell me to get lost? You still dare to talk back to me! Today I'll show you what it feels like to be facing certain death! I'll make you a gluttonous ghost who dies with nothing to show for it!"
