If these crimes were not cleared, they would cause no end of trouble for Jiang Chen, even if he’d co Chen knew that he could not have cri over his head if he was to live in this Eastern Kingdom in the future

“Father, let’s not be in a rush to clear ed at the er has abated I’ve already been caned once, surely he won’t forget his dignity as a king and caneChen had a lot of ways to handle the situation at hand He was in no rush as he needed tiet used to this new identity and feel at ho was about to respond when soistered in his ears “Chen’er, lie down, so Chen did so with resignation as his revival fro news if anyone saw hi dead cover for now

Alright, with this coffin as a cover, playing dead was the easiest thing in this world

“Brother Chen, you died so needlessly!” The footsteps were far away, but this wailing cry had quite a strong piercing quality to it

The rolling sound of footsteps acco

The person as arriving – well, it would be ure was almost the same width in all directions, and his body presented perfect curves, for a meaty meatball

The meatball had never been ashamed of his body, but was rather proud of it instead He had once proclaimed that out of all 108 nobles, he was neither the most bravehearted and loyal nor the ic, but that no one could rob his nuht

It was quite a feat for someone to have such a unique body, but his father had taken it one step further and given hily fehly the sae, followed closely behind the rief; it was apparent that they had co Chen

The meatball was out in front and strode quickly to the side of the coffin With his bulk planted so firmly, no one else could even coround

The meatball wiped away tears with one hand and continuously fished out things with his other, tossing the paper money as he did so

“Brother Chen, this was your favorite, illustrated version of the Carnal Prayer Mat I was self-centered before and refused to lend it to you Now that you are gone and I have lost a fellow hobbyist, what use is this tothis to you so that you can read it down below if you’re bored Re”

“And, this is a note for ten thousand silver You were the one who resolved things with ten thousand silver the last tinant My dad would have immediately beaten ot the chance to return this money to you…”

The rew even more broken hearted as he cried He lay there on the floor, pounding the floor in great sorrow after burning the ite Chen laid at ease in the coffin and made no sound He also wanted to use this opportunity to observe these best friends

Fatty Xuan Xuan was undoubtedly the most loyal, staunchest supporter of them all

“Ah brother Chen, I am fine However, that old Eastern Lu caned you to death I do hereby swear that if I, fatty, ever inherit le soldier or horse to fight for that Eastern family’s cause for the rest of my life!”

At this lare at those behind hi at them, “You there, are you best friends with brother Chen? Do you view brother Chen as a brother? Come swear before his memorial tablet if you do!”

The stalwart, dependable looking young man retorted back, “Fatty, do you think you’re the only one with loyalty? That I, the heir to Hubing dukedo man also rushed to the altar and swore, “Brother Chen, I, Hubing Yue, do so swear that if I inherit the Hubing dukedole soldier or horse to fight for the Eastern fa that the two had already sworn a sole splendidly dressed youth at a bit of loose ends

“Yang Zong, is brother Chen your brother or not?” The ry as he saw the richly dressed youth hesitate

“Have you forgotten that it was brother Chen who stood up for you when you were bullied by Yan Yi at the capital?”

“And that time when you failed to coredients, it was brother Chen who used his extra portion to fill in the gap for you Did you know that because he gave part of his portion to you, his grade of excellent was changed to average?” The fatty’s anger grew as he spoke, until he was about ready to spring up, grab the richly dress youth’s collar and punch hi Chen as fatty Xuan spoke He was able to gradually reconcile the people before him with those in histhe other, quick footsteps sounded as the Jiang fa, His Majesty the King has arrived with other nobles in order to pay his respects to the young master”

“Pay his respects?” Fatty Xuan was livid “Is he shedding crocodile tears? Does he think burning a few sticks of incense will cover up the fact that he beat someone to death?”

Fatty Xuan could afford to be so brash After all, Jiang Feng was a duke of the kingdoe in the same theatrics Given that his son was not dead, he too was deliberating how to handle the aftermath

His son’s life and position ’s botto, Eastern Lu would not feel apologetic about killing a noble’s son One had to be coldhearted in order to reign as ahis respects was undoubtedly a complete sha and warn him not to act rashly

Obviously, Eastern Lu had no fear of Jiang Feng hating hido to happen

After all, who knehat other situationshad a few connections in the Eastern Kingdom
