Dream of the Red Chamber: After being exiled, I went on a killing spree in Liaodong.

Behind him followed a large crowd of onlookers, who surged into the street corner like a tide, their eyes shining, just short of pulling up a stool to sit down and eat sunflower seeds.

"Jia Yi, I didn't do anything to you or provoke you."

Su Xingqiang suppressed his anger and spoke in a relatively calm tone, trying to reason with them.

"Didn't you provoke me?"

Jia Yi sneered, his eyes sharp as knives. "Those villagers who were buried alive outside the city—their bones have rotted to ashes, and you're telling me they didn't provoke me?"

His voice exploded, like a thunderclap striking the crowd.

Luo Hong and Su Xing's faces suddenly turned deathly pale.

Oh no!!! How did this idiot know about this?

Their eyes met, and both read horror in each other's pupils.

"What? Those villagers who died before were killed by Duke Hu and Duke Zhao?"

"My God...no way?"

"Look at Lord Jia's demeanor, how could it be fake!"

"Damn it! Those two old bastards must be severely punished!"

"Avenge the innocent people who died unjustly!!!"

The people were outraged, glaring at the two men as if they wanted to nail them to the wall with their eyes.

"You bastards!" Su Xing suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with malice. "I am the Duke of the current dynasty! How dare you slander me? Are you tired of living?"

The crowd fell silent, startled, and all shut their mouths.

But those gazes still sent chills down one's spine.

"Lord Zhongyong, it's not too late to turn back now."

Su Xing suddenly laughed, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips. "If you go back now, I'll pretend I never saw you today."

Luo Hong stood to the side, his eyes twitching.

Good grief, it was my house that got demolished just now! And you're acting all nonchalant now!

"dream!"

Jia Yi let out a low roar, his figure suddenly leaping up and rushing towards an old locust tree as thick as a thigh on the side of the street.

Everyone was stunned.

His arms bulged with muscles, veins coiling like pythons, and with a stomp of his foot, the ground cracked open like a spiderweb.

Click!

The giant tree was uprooted, soil flew everywhere, and its branches and leaves lashed out like whips!

He carried the enormous tree, which was several meters long, and turned to rush towards the personal guards of the Duke of Hu's mansion!

[Ding! The host has launched a charge against Duke Hu's personal guards and has obtained 1 Power Fruit!]

Stop him!!!

Su Xing finally panicked, and his voice changed tone.

His front door has an ancestral golden nanmu wood carved plaque; it would be heartbreaking to smash it!

Luo Hong, however, prayed silently on the sidelines:

Come on! Let's do it again! Let me see it for myself!

The guards trembled as they watched the monstrous figure carrying a large tree as he ran wildly.

Is this human? This is more like a gorilla that has become a spirit!

"Go! Stop him!!!"

Su Xing roared from behind.

The guards gritted their teeth and charged forward, but had only gone halfway—

"boom!!!"

Jia Yi swung the giant tree, sweeping away thousands of troops!

Bang bang bang! !

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams of agony filled the air. A dozen or so guards were swept away like broken sacks, some crashing into walls, others vomiting blood and fainting upon landing.

Su Xing's pupils trembled.

It's over! This madman really goes all out!

"Old Luo!" He grabbed Luo Hong, his voice trembling, "What do we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Luo Hong said resignedly. "If he wants to demolish someone's house, we'll just hide there."

Since I've already lost all face, running away one more time won't make a difference.

Su Xing gritted his teeth, staring at Jia Yi, who seemed possessed by a god of war, his mind racing with alarm bells—

"run!"

"If we don't run now, we'll be spending the rest of our lives eating while lying in bed!!!"

Before he finished speaking, he took off running.

He headed straight for the stables, seized two fast horses, scrambled onto the saddles, and galloped off towards the palace.

The Emperor Emeritus! Only by sitting close to the Emperor Emeritus can one save their old life!

Luo Hong followed closely behind, his horse's hooves churning and dust billowing.

"You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple."

Jia Yi stood atop the ruins, coldly watching the two men's disheveled figures disappear into the distance, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips.

He dispatched the remaining guards with a few punches and strode into the Duke of Hu's mansion.

He grabbed the giant tree and smashed it down hard!

"Snap!"

The century-old plaque shattered with a crash, its golden lettering scattering across the ground.

Then another kick!

The heavy vermilion gate collapsed with a crash, sending wood chips flying everywhere!

Immediately, he flicked the tinderbox and threw it into the hall.

"Anyone who dares to put out the fire will be killed without mercy!"

At his command, all the servants in the mansion fell silent, trembling with fear.

Sir, it's not that we don't want to save them... it's just that this King of Hell is watching!

Flames shot into the sky, billowing black smoke engulfed beams, curtains, and precious antiques...

In the backyard, Su Xing's entire family, young and old, fled from their bedroom, crying and screaming, their hair disheveled, running away in panic.

In the firelight, someone's voice trembled as they angrily rebuked:

"Lord Zhongyong... how dare you set fire to your residence!!"

Jia Yi stood on the high platform, his robes fluttering in the wind, the firelight dancing in his eyes, like a demon returning from hell.

He spoke softly, each word distinct and clear—

"This is just the beginning."

"Aren't you afraid the retired emperor will cause chaos?"

Lady Hu's eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently at Jia Yi, her teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

Humiliation! Utter and utter disgrace!

She, the dignified mistress of the Duke's mansion, was burned down to the lintel, and even the ancestral tablets were almost destroyed in the fire!

"Yi-ge'er...did you really start this fire?"

Niu Jizong ran all the way here, his forehead still covered in cold sweat, and his voice was trembling.

What lay before him was no longer a mansion, but a living hell—flames raged amidst the ruins, black smoke billowed into the sky, turning half the night sky crimson. The crackling sound of the flames licking the beams and pillars made his head throb with pain.

"Um."

Jia Yi responded calmly, his expression unchanged, as if he had merely stepped on an ant.

"hiss--!"

Niu Jizong's vision went black, and he almost collapsed on the spot.

He's insane! This kid is fucking insane!

He actually wiped out the entire lair of those two old foxes, Su Xing and Luo Hong?!

But at that very moment, Emperor Yuankang in the palace was leaning back on his dragon throne, laughing like a goose.

"Good! Well done!"

He slammed his fist on the table and stood up, tears welling up in his eyes from laughing.

Jia Yi's fire didn't just burn down houses; it burned down the very foundations that those two old tyrants had held for years in Beijing!

As long as I keep them under control and prevent them from retaliating, no one will pay any attention to Su and Luo in the circle of nobles from now on!

"Xia Shouzhong!"

"Summon Jia Yi to the palace immediately! Hurry up, don't keep me waiting!"

"As you command!"

Xia Shouzhong turned and ran out, his robe billowing in the wind, his shadow stretched like a lightning bolt by the moonlight.

At this moment, the Rongguo Mansion was already in complete chaos.

With a deafening boom, the news shattered the silence of the hanging flower gate—

Jia Yi burned down two Duke's mansions!

"Boss! Are you in charge or just a figurehead?!"

"I told you to keep an eye on Yi-ge'er, how did you let him go and burn down the Duke's mansion?"

Grandmother Jia sat on the couch, her face ashen, her chest heaving violently, so angry that she could barely speak.

Good heavens! We've offended two dukes at once! Who in the entire Great Qian Dynasty would dare to do this?

Jia She lowered his head, not daring to utter a single word.

Can I control him? If I could control Jia Yi, I would have kicked his second wife and her entire family out of Rongxi Hall long ago!

"How about... we remove Jia Yi from the family genealogy?"
