“No need.” Helian Wei Wei touched her wrist and smiled with little care: “I can handle it myself, don’t worry. The auction is about to start, you all should go to sit in the places I have reserved. I need to deal with another matter first.”

Chen Yifeng felt uneasy about it. However, Manager Zhang has already politely led them away.

Upstairs in the teahouse, Eunuch Sun reported back Helian Wei Wei’s message to the Grand Emperor. The Grand Emperor was sat back in his original place, watching the screaming Official Li, and had lost all interest in the auction. With a wave of his hand, he left Baili Jia Jue to take care of matter, and left for the palace with the guards. Official Li breathed a sigh of relief and figured that since the Grand Master did not say anything more, the matter today was over.

However, he had forgotten that if was up to his Highness, there would only be two situations. One, his Highness would have completely no interest whatsoever, the Official Li can praise his ancestors and burn them incense as an offering. The other situation would be that his Highness was very interested in the matter, then it is still congratulatory as there are not many matters that his Highness would take an interest in. The result would be to go and join his ancestors immediately.

Sure enough, just as Eunuch Sun thought.

The cold and clear voice of Baili Jia Jue rang out: “Behead him, take him elsewhere to do it, don’t get blood everywhere. It’s dirty.”

“Yes.”

Their shadows were like ghosts, Official Li and his son never had the chance to say a word and were dragged out of the teahouse. The rest of the officials present were stunned and immediately converged their hands and feet.

Baili Jia Jue was still sat at the main table, he looked up and said: “And the Wu family.”

“Wu family?” Someone spoke up puzzled, whispers, the Wu family did not speak so how did they offend the Third Prince?

Baili Jia Jue laughed coldy: “How he broke his leg, I think I know better than you all do. He was dishonest in the military. Upon his discharge from the military he dares to dream of taking a wife. He should have known better than to make this mistake. Castrate him and throw him in jail.”

Eunuch Sun: “….” He thought the matter had blown over, but it seemed his Highness had not forgotten.

Some of the people found this matter strange, the Grand Emperor never used to have an entourage accompany him when he attended. But this year, the Murong family, Yuan family and their subordinates Li and Wu family all received the order to accompany him at the last minute. Come to think of it now, this was all an illusion, it was set up.

However, this did not seem like something that the Grand Emperor would do. If he wanted to behead someone, he usually just gave the order. He wouldn’t use such an unscrupulous method. Who was the mastermind of this scheme? The rest of them who were left, the Murong and Wu clan were puzzled and felt a deep unease in their hearts. The whole time Baili Jia Jue had held on to the teacup, with an expression of indifference in his face.

Eunuch Sun looked at his master, it seemed like those who have fallen today, were the people who have angered Eldest Miss at the White Academy.

No, no it couldn’t be!

Could it be that the rage of the crown? Eunuch Sun choked at his own thoughts and could not stop coughing. This was an appropriate thought about his Highness.

Although, was this not a bit too late? Eunuch Sun face looked at Baili Jia Jue questioningly.

Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows, his voice light: “It takes time to get rid of the roots.”

Eunuch Sun: Really, it really was the rage of the crown?
