Wang Hu didn't trust the newcomer very much. He frowned and asked again, "Are you sure they are dead?"
Zhang Er obviously hadn't recovered from the shock. He swallowed hard and gasped, "Boss, I'm absolutely certain there's a hundred-foot abyss below. There's no way they could have stayed there all night."
Wang Hu stared at him intently with sinister eyes for a while, and after confirming that he was not lying, he said calmly: "Alright, get up. From today on, you are one of us."
Zhang Er no longer cared about being scared and kowtowed twice on the ground: "Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss."
Wang Hu picked up the long knife, but it knocked against his shoulder. "Let's go, brothers, go back and report to the master."
Wang Hu walked with a swagger. Although he felt something was wrong, he couldn't help but feel happy. This time, the He family paid five hundred taels to buy the lives of those two people.
In the past, he would have lost a number of brothers and suffered a lot, but this time, he completed the task without any effort. He was really lucky.
Thinking of this, he turned around and raised his chin towards Zhang Er: "Hey, you, don't point at me, it's you."
Zhang Er walked forward tremblingly, and Wang Hu threw a piece of silver to him: "This is a reward for you, keep it for yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and continued walking back.
Zhang Er looked at the heavy silver in his hand and couldn't help but feel happy: "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss."
He couldn't help but put it in his mouth and took a bite. It was so hard that it hurt his teeth. This was silver.
Two taels of silver. Even if he farmed for a whole year, he couldn't earn two taels of silver.
With these two taels of silver, he could repair the house, buy two new clothes for his mother, have a good meal for her, and still have some money left over to save.
And this was just his income for one night. He got so much reward just by climbing a steep slope. It turned out that it was right to join the Tiger Camp.
On the way back, Wang Hu thought about today's action and still had some doubts in his heart. Although he didn't think Chi Yu and Tang Wan could survive in that situation, his intuition told him that things were not that simple.
He gave the He family a reply, claiming that the two men were already dead.
But after careful consideration, Wang Hu decided to strengthen surveillance of the Tiger Camp in case Chi Yu and Tang Wan really came back for revenge. Although, he did not think that the two could cause any trouble.
But after all, I took the money. I can't just take the money for nothing while the person is still alive.
He began to arrange people to monitor the cliff and the surrounding roads, and asked them to report to him immediately if they found any suspicious people. He still did not trust Zhang Er, who was afraid of death.
Back at Tiger Camp, Wang Hu arranged for Zhang Er to help with some chores, then summoned the other brothers and asked them about today's operation in detail. After listening to everyone's description, he felt even more uneasy.
He decided to intensify his search for other clues to see if he could find any traces of Chi Yu and Tang Wan. He sent people to inquire about the village near the cliff, looking for clues about the two people.
A few days later, a villager reported to Wang Hu that he had found suspicious traces in a cave near the cliff. Upon hearing this, Wang Hu led his men to the cave.
When Zhang Er heard that Wang Hu had discovered a cave below, he suddenly became frightened. This was no small matter. He originally wanted to sneak away quietly, but after Wang Hu's fierce warning, he did not dare to act rashly.
They had no choice but to follow him. In the cave, they found some torn clothes and some bloodstains. These traces made them believe that Chi Yu and Tang Wan had indeed experienced a fierce battle here. There were many wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains, so it was not surprising that they were eaten.
Wang Hu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the two men were unlucky. He felt that the matter had come to an end and the two men should have died in the cave.
He ordered his men to search the cave to see if there were any other clues, or any valuables left behind by the two men. After all, the man looked like a pretty boy, and he might really be rich.
However, during the search, Zhang Er accidentally touched a mechanism. In fact, it would have been fine if he had just stepped on it, but when he saw that the ground was loose, he was overjoyed and thought that this must be a godsend, so he called a group of people to dig.
He wanted to avenge his previous humiliation. If he dug up some valuable treasure, his status in the Tiger Camp would rise sharply.
But it was also his bad luck. He was fine even though he stepped on the mechanism. The designer probably didn't think too much about it. No one would have thought that someone could step on such a hidden mechanism and even dig it out.
Just as they were digging hard, a huge explosion blew everyone's eardrums. The flames shot up into the sky, shining on everyone's face, and the flames instantly swept over them.
The explosion was earth-shaking and the cave collapsed instantly, burying Wang Hu and his men inside, including Zhang Er. No one survived.
At this moment, the Imperial Master, who was far away in the capital, suddenly opened his eyes and frowned: "The Emperor Star is in trouble."
But his frown soon relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Emperor Star has his own purple energy to protect him. Everything is fine, everything is fine."
He continued to close his eyes and calculate something on his hands.
…………
Wang Hu's death shocked the Tiger Camp, and the remaining brothers fell into panic.
After a brief period of confusion, they decided to disband the Tiger Camp and each seek their own way out.
The Tiger Camp was originally formed because of Wang Hu. Now that he, the leader, is not here, the others are just relying on his face to bully others. If they were really allowed to take the lead, no one would submit to anyone else.
So it would be better to disband it. Since then, the Tiger Camp quickly disappeared from the world and no one mentioned it again.
…………
In a blink of an eye, Situ Ye had been here for more than half a month. His physique was different from that of ordinary people, so most of the wounds on his body had healed by now.
But who could tell him that the man in front of him, acting coquettishly and foolishly in front of Miss Tang, was really their cold and aloof prince?
He felt that his three views had been overturned. This feeling was no less explosive than when a brother who used to pee and play in the mud with you when you were a child suddenly told you one day that he had won the top spot in the imperial examination and was about to go to the capital to become a high-ranking official.
Situ Ye looked at himself, then at Chi Yu who was helping Tang Wan push the swing, and a barely perceptible kind smile appeared on his face.
Actually, it’s a good thing. He thought that after that incident, His Highness would never like any woman again. But now, looking at His Highness’s appearance, he probably likes the woman in front of him very much, so he is relieved.
He couldn't help but want to wipe away his tears, remembering His Highness's cold words to him three days ago: "Either sleep in the utility room or in the abandoned chicken coop in the back hills." How could the gap between people be so huge! He wouldn't disturb His Highness and Miss Tang!
