The number one rebel of the Great Wu

at the same time.

Chen Changgeng was lying on his bed, clutching the warm silver notes to his chest, looking worried.

Now that I have the money, I can't just run away.

If I dared to run away overnight, that woman Shen Qingci would definitely hunt me down to the ends of the earth.

"Throughout history, the struggle for succession has often been accompanied by bloodshed."

"Now that I've been tied to the Crown Prince's pirate ship by Shen Qingci, there's only one way to get off quickly."

"That means killing the Crown Prince!"

Chen Changgeng narrowed his eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashing within them.

"It would be best if he suddenly fell ill and died, or it would be acceptable if he were deposed as crown prince and confined to the palace."

"But if I get completely involved in the succession struggle, I will find it difficult to protect myself, so I must try to avoid it."

Chen Changgeng rubbed his chin, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Xiao Lie must be incredibly frustrated, having repeatedly suffered setbacks in front of Shen Qingci!"

"Then why not set a trap for him, find a few ravenous women..."

Chen Changgeng's lips curled into a smile; a plan to use someone else to do his dirty work had already taken shape.

The next morning.

Chen Changgeng got up early and climbed over the wall back to the janitor's room.

As soon as I crawled back into the outhouse, I heard a burst of mocking voices coming from outside.

"Godfather, that kid was locked up all night, he should behave himself now, right?"

"Thirty-odd chamber pots, you have to scrub them all night long without stopping, there's no way you can resist!"

"New troublemakers like this need to be taught a lesson! Otherwise, they'll keep daydreaming and not be able to tell the difference between the big and small fry!"

"Exactly, he might actually think he can get released today! Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Steward Wang's face darkened. He thought of Xiang'er pleading for Chen Changgeng, and his jealousy flared up. He immediately let out a heavy snort.

"In all these years I've managed the errand room, I've never seen a servant released the very next day!"

"Today we'll teach this kid a lesson—who's in charge here in the janitor's quarters!"

Several clever lackeys around him immediately followed suit in flattery.

"Of course it's you, Steward Wang! This servant has been punished and sent to the chores room. Without your guidance, he'll just be a troublemaker if released!"

"Exactly! Even if the Crown Prince and Crown Princess came, they'd still have to be mindful of your attitude, Steward!"

Manager Wang stood at the door of the outhouse until he felt comfortable after being flattered so much, and then he waved his hand.

"Come on, open the door, let's see what this kid's got to offer!"

With a clanging sound of the chains, the door to the outhouse was slowly pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, a stench hit them, causing Steward Wang to gag and clutch his stomach.

The overwhelming smell made several eunuchs who couldn't wait to peek out to see Chen Changgeng's embarrassing state turn green with embarrassment, cover their mouths, and rush to the side.

In an instant, a chorus of "Wow!" erupted from the crowd!

Suppressing his nausea, Manager Wang turned his head and finally saw clearly.

The chamber pots that were originally piled up in several outhouse cubicles have now been moved to the doorway as if to show off.

Chen Changgeng, with his nose stuffed up and wearing a face towel he'd somehow gotten his hands on, was leaning over the ventilation opening of the innermost stall in the outhouse to get some fresh air!

Upon seeing that all the people who had come were "poisoned," Chen Changgeng was immediately delighted.

Do you really think I'd let you bully me?

"You! You! You! Over thirty chamber pots, and you didn't wash a single one!"

Manager Wang turned pale with anger and pointed at Chen Changgeng, shouting furiously.

"Manager Wang, you didn't even give me a brush, how am I supposed to use it!"

Chen Changgeng feigned a wronged expression and argued illogically.

"If there's no brush, can't you use your hands?"

"I'm so angry! They completely disregard me, the manager!"

"Very well, men, drag him out and give him fifty strokes of the cane! Spread his ass wide open!"

Manager Wang shouted angrily, but his men looked at each other in bewilderment.

These thirty-odd chamber pots were piled up at the door, some still containing contents, filthy and smelly. Who would dare to touch them!

"You bunch of bastards! Even you're disobeying me!"

Steward Wang was so angry he was practically delirious. He grabbed an unlucky little eunuch and shoved him onto the chamber pot.

A loud crash was heard, and a path was smashed open.

Seeing this, the remaining lackeys dared not refuse any longer and quickly pinched their noses and rushed in!

Seeing this, Chen Changgeng showed no intention of resisting. When someone rushed in, he simply raised his hands, waiting for the two men to carry him out.

But as he walked, he kept calling out to Steward Wang.

"Ouch, caning! They're going to spank me so badly! I'm so scared!"

"I, Xiao Gengzi, am a traitor by nature. If you don't beat me to death today, I'll dig up your ancestral graves tomorrow!"

Seeing Chen Changgeng laughing and joking, acting like a dead pig that doesn't care about boiling water, Manager Wang was even more furious.

He immediately ordered two men to drag over two stools and press Chen Changgeng onto them.

He then snatched a long stick and raised his hand to strike hard!

Just then, a loud shout came from behind.

"Godfather! Wait a minute!"

Xiao Duozi, who was standing at the door, was shocked when he saw Chen Changgeng's face.

He immediately screamed at the top of his lungs.

"It's him, it's him, it's definitely him!"

"The person I saw last night was him!"

Manager Wang was stunned for a moment, his long staff hovering in mid-air, his face full of disbelief.

But the next second, he revealed a ferocious expression, his eyes filled with undisguised greed.

"Isn't this perfect timing!"

"You've got some nerve, kid! You refuse to do the work I assigned you, instead choosing to go out and swindle and cheat!"

"Well, now tell me honestly where the money is."

"Or should we suffer a lot before handing them over to save our lives?!"

Manager Wang glared with murderous eyes and asked fiercely.

Chen Changgeng had anticipated this when Xiao Duozi mentioned yesterday that his godfather was Steward Wang.

Therefore, when I went out in the morning, I hid the banknotes.

"Steward Wang, I'm a newly arrived eunuch. I was recently castrated, and my body is still very weak!"

"If you really hit me twice with that stick, I'll be dead."

"If I were to die, no one would know where I hid all those silver notes."

Chen Changgeng smiled smugly.

Manager Wang's expression changed slightly, and he immediately cursed Xiao Duozi for being so talkative.

The matter of those two thousand four hundred taels of silver notes has already reached Steward Lin's ears, and he will definitely want a share of the profits.

Now that he has captured Xiao Gengzi, if he accidentally kills him, wouldn't Chief Steward Lin come after him?

Even the dearest parents are not as dear as money; doesn't he understand this simple truth?

If it weren't for Steward Lin keeping an eye on things, he would have beaten this bastard to death without even blinking!

"Fine, as long as you tell me the whereabouts of the silver notes, I, Wang Youcai, guarantee I won't harm a single hair on your head today!"

"But if you dare to try anything funny in front of me, I'll make sure you regret it today!"

Chen Changgeng chuckled again.

"Manager Wang, you're too fierce. You've made me so nervous that I can't remember anything."

"How about this, you release me, and then you clean those thirty-odd chamber pots by hand."

"If I see it, I'll be so happy that I might even remember a thing or two!"

"you!"

Now Wang Youcai understood that this kid was a tough nut to crack and had never intended to pay.

In front of so many people, he dared to bargain with me like this and even asked me to clean the toilet. It was like slapping me in the face!

"Good lad, you've got guts! You asked for this!"

Wang Youcai's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. He tightened his grip on the long stick, then roared and brought it down with a single blow!

"Snapped!"

"what!"

A crisp sound!

Chen Changgeng then let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered!

Wang Youcai's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively withdrew his hand.

I was inexplicably flustered!

There are different methods for administering caning, some of which make a loud noise but don't hurt, and others that hurt but don't make a loud noise.

He just wanted to give Chen Changgeng a warning so he could get him to talk.

Unexpectedly, after letting out a scream, the kid fainted and even stuck out his tongue!

Could it be... that I actually killed myself with that one blow?!

Just as Wang Youcai was panicking, a delicate shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Manager Wang, what are you doing!"

Upon hearing the sound, Wang Youcai's body trembled, and he turned his head with difficulty, seeing the beautiful figure standing at the door of the janitor's room.

Everything went black before his eyes, and he immediately collapsed to his knees!

"Your Majesty... Your Highness the Crown Princess!"
