Chapter 19 The Death of Xiang'er

Wu Tianjiao recalled the moment he fainted. He clearly felt attacked, so

why say he had fainted on his own? What was that all about? With his Imperial Martial Arts level,

how could he have fainted? Who would believe that? It was a complete joke!

Unfortunately, Wu Tianjiao didn't see who attacked him. If he had, he wouldn't have been so

disoriented . However, one thing he was certain of was that he hadn't fainted, but had been ambushed and

subdued. The attacker's martial arts were extremely high, leaving him no time to react.

Wu Tianjiao didn't know how he left the palace. When he fully regained consciousness, he found himself

riding a horse through the streets.

The sun was setting, the evening glow painted the sky, and the capital was gradually enveloped in a hazy twilight. The streets were still

bustling with people, showing the prosperity and liveliness of the capital.

Wu Tianjiao was now a prominent figure in the capital, a household name. The battle at Golden Eagle Tower had made him

a young hero of the empire and an idol worshipped by the people of the capital. As he rode through the streets, passersby turned their heads to

watch, many even raising their hands and shouting, "Golden Knife Prince Consort... Golden Knife Prince Consort..." The shouts

caused the windows of the nearby buildings on both sides of the street to open, and young ladies leaned out of their

windows to look down at the street below. When they saw Wu Tianjiao riding on horseback, they cried out,

their voices like nightingales, waving their embroidered handkerchiefs and throwing flirtatious glances. Those who were close even

threw Wu Tianjiao.

Wu Tianjiao had never experienced such a grand spectacle before, and he had never imagined that he would be so

popular with young girls. Sachets and handkerchiefs rained down on him wherever he went, keeping him constantly busy. Young and inexperienced, he felt

very uncomfortable and overwhelmed, so he quickly spurred his horse to speed up and fled down the street.

Central Street was the most bustling street in the capital, known as the "center of the capital." The luxurious Jiangshan Tower was

located on Central Street,

a prime location where nobles, wealthy merchants, and other dignitaries of the capital regularly passed through.

Wu Tianjiao was no stranger to Central Street, having frequently passed through it. His most vivid memory was of him

disguising as Yue Nujiao to buy wine for Princess Jingguo at Jiangshan Tower, resulting in a fight with many noble young men and

a severe beating to his current father-in-law, the Grand Uncle Cao Wenrong.

However, today, when Wu Tianjiao arrived at Central Street, he found the street in front of Jiangshan Tower blocked by a large

crowd.

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, Wu Tianjiao thought of taking a detour. Suddenly, he heard someone shake their head and sigh, "What a tragedy!

Such a good girl, gone just like that!"

Wu Tianjiao was taken aback and looked at the person who was sighing. It was an old man in his sixties, shaking his head and

looking very sad.

Upon hearing his words, Wu Tianjiao's heart stirred. He dismounted and approached the old man, asking, "Sir,

what happened up ahead?"

The old man turned around, and seeing Wu Tianjiao's guard attire, he shuddered and hurriedly replied,

"Someone fell from a building up ahead!"

"Fell from a building!"

Wu Tianjiao exclaimed, looking at the crowd in the street ahead. He frowned and said, "Who would be so foolish as

to jump off a building tired of living?"

"It was a young woman!"

the old man replied without hesitation. "I heard... she fell from Jiangshan Tower! As for why she jumped,

I have no idea! The people at Jiangshan Tower have already reported it to the authorities, and they're waiting for the military police to arrive!"

With that, he hurried away, not saying another word, as if afraid of getting into trouble.

The old man's words reminded Wu Tianjiao of the time he, as "Yuenüjiao," was

harassed by noblemen at Jiangshan Tower. He wondered, "Could the girl who fell from the building have suffered the same fate as me, being

bullied and jumping because she couldn't bear the humiliation?"

Intrigued, Wu Tianjiao immediately led his horse through the crowd. Seeing his

official robes, the people on the street quickly parted to the sides, not daring to obstruct him. Wu Tianjiao arrived

at the entrance of Jiangshan Tower without much effort.

On the street in front of Jiangshan Tower lay a woman's corpse, naked and disheveled,

her face obscured by her loose hair. Blood flowed on the ground beside her, and what was truly horrifying was the bloodstains covering her

private parts , a gruesome sight, clearly indicating she had been raped before her death.

Upon seeing the female corpse, Wu Tianjiao's brow twitched involuntarily. Anyone witnessing such a scene

would immediately understand what had happened: the woman, unable to bear the humiliation, had jumped to her death.

"What a virtuous and chaste woman!"

Wu Tianjiao sighed inwardly. With his keen senses, he had already detected that the woman had completely lost her life

force and had been dead for some time.

Seeing the naked corpse lying in the street, exposed to the eyes of the many onlookers, Wu Tianjiao felt a pang of pity.

He immediately took out a cloak from his spiritual ring and covered the corpse. His movements were discreet; onlookers only saw him

reach into his robes and pull out a cloak, assuming it was taken from his pocket.

As Wu Tianjiao covered the corpse with the cloak, his gaze inadvertently swept over the woman's face, which was obscured by her disheveled hair. Suddenly,

he trembled violently, his face changed drastically, and his entire body began to shake uncontrollably.

In that instant, Wu Tianjiao realized the female corpse's face was somewhat familiar, vaguely recognizable, as if...

He dared not dwell on it, his right hand trembling as he brushed aside the hair obscuring her face... As the hair was parted,

the corpse's true face was revealed, and Wu Tianjiao felt a wave of dizziness, the world spinning around him. After a long while, he regained his senses and

hurriedly embraced the corpse, exclaiming in shock, "Xiang'er..." It turned out this female corpse was none other than Wu Tianjiao's maid, Xiang'er

. Wu Tianjiao never imagined it would be Xiang'er. He remembered that just yesterday Xiang'er had asked for leave to go home and care for her ailing

mother, and today, he would see Xiang'er in front of Jiangshan Tower, now a corpse.

Wu Tianjiao and Xiang'er shared a deep bond of master and servant; after all, Xiang'er was the first

maid to serve him, and even more remarkably, four years ago, when Wu Tianjiao disappeared, Xiang'er remained steadfastly by his side in Chonghua Palace, waiting for his return.

How could Wu Tianjiao not cherish such a loyal maid?

Upon seeing Xiang'er's death, Wu Tianjiao was overcome with grief and could not help but cry out in sorrow. Many of the onlookers recognized her.

Wu Tianjiao and the others were all deeply moved. They hadn't expected that the woman who had fallen from the building was actually the Golden Knife Prince Consort's

woman. For a moment, people whispered and discussed among themselves, all feeling that this was a serious matter.

How could

the Golden Knife Prince Consort's woman die in vain? Sure enough, Wu Tianjiao held Xiang'er and called out for a while, but hearing no response, he realized that Xiang'er was dead and

could no longer hear his cries. He carefully laid Xiang'er on the ground, stood up, his gaze sharp as lightning,

and swept over the surrounding crowd, coldly demanding, "Can any of you tell me how my maid died?"

Hearing Wu Tianjiao's question, the street fell silent, utterly speechless. Everyone looked at each other,

no one uttering a sound.

Wu Tianjiao shouted twice more, but still no one responded. A thought struck him, and he called out loudly, "Whoever

tells me the truth, I will not only guarantee their safety but also reward them with a thousand gold coins!"

This was truly a case of a generous reward attracting brave men; a thousand gold coins was no small sum, enough for an ordinary family to live on

for ten years. Instantly, the surrounding crowd erupted in commotion, shouting, "I know, Your Highness, I'll

tell you..." "I'll tell you, I saw it with my own eyes..." a young man rushed to the front.

Everyone jostled, afraid of being beaten to it, and surged towards Wu Tianjiao as if by unspoken agreement. Wu Tianjiao raised

an eyebrow, flicked his right sleeve, and unleashed an invisible force that sent the crowd back three feet, halting their advance.

Pointing to the young man at the front, he said, "You tell me!"

The young man was overjoyed; for a thousand gold coins, he disregarded everything else. He stepped forward and said, "

Your Highness ! I saw it with my own eyes!"

Pointing to the female corpse on the ground, he turned and pointed to a shop across the street, saying, "Just a short while ago,

this young lady went to the pharmacy across the street to get medicine. When she came out..." Upon reaching the street, she was forcibly dragged into Jiangshan Tower by several young men who had come out

of the tower. Not long after entering, she fell from a second-floor window. "Your Highness, that

's !"

Hearing the young man's casual recounting of the events, Wu Tianjiao already knew the truth without further questioning. True to his word,

he immediately gave the young man a thousand gold coins, turned to look at Jiangshan Tower, his eyes flashing with a cold

light , his left hand pressing against the Dragon Soul Sword at his waist, he snorted coldly, and strode towards Jiangshan Tower.

Just as he reached the main entrance of Jiangshan Tower, a commotion arose from the street. At that moment, the military police

on patrol arrived. "Hmph! How much time has passed since this murder? The military police are only arriving now;

their speed in handling cases is truly appalling."

Wu Tianjiao couldn't help but frown, inwardly scoffing. It was his maid who had died; he didn't expect

those idle cowards from the military police to seek justice for Xiang'er. Ignoring the military police on the street, he walked straight into Jiangshan Tower.

With a death in sight, Jiangshan Tower was in chaos. The guests had long since fled, leaving the place deserted, both

upstairs and downstairs.

Wu Tianjiao entered the tower and saw the servants standing trembling in fear in the first-floor hall. Wu

Tianjiao glanced around and shouted, "Who is your manager? Tell your manager to come out and answer me!"

His shout was thunderous, deafening, and echoed throughout the hall. The servants instinctively covered

their ears. Wu Tianjiao was truly enraged, and unconsciously channeled his inner strength.

A portly, middle-aged man with a bloated belly approached Wu Tianjiao and respectfully said,

"Reporting to Your Highness, I am... Jin Dafu, the manager of Jiangshan Tower!"

As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve. The weather wasn't hot; it was even a bit cool, yet

Jin Dafu, the manager of Jiangshan Tower, was covered in sweat. He wasn't sweating from the heat, but from the cold sweat caused by fear. If it

were an ordinary woman who had died, it wouldn't have mattered; even if Jiangshan Tower was involved, they could simply pay some money to settle the matter. But it

was someone from the Prince of Jinyang's mansion who had died! How could Jin Dafu not be afraid?

"Jin Dafu, is it?"

Wu Tianjiao glanced sideways at Jin Dafu, the manager of Jiangshan Tower. He truly lived up to his name, being both fat and obese,

indeed "Dafu" (meaning "great wealth") rolling in oil. He immediately snorted coldly and said, "Tell me, how did my maid die?"

"She... jumped to her death!"

Jin Dafu said, trembling.

"Damn it!"

Wu Tianjiao's face darkened. Without making a move, he was in front of Jin Dafu in an instant. He stretched out his right hand

and grabbed Jin Dafu's belt, lifting him up above his head. Good heavens, Jin Dafu was fat and

heavy, his huge body weighing at least three or four pounds. Wu Tianjiao lifted him up effortlessly, as if he were lifting cotton.

Jin Dafu felt as if he were floating on clouds, and was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "

Spare ... Your Highness, spare me..." Wu Tianjiao laughed angrily, "You fat pig! If you dare to tell me even half a lie,

believe me, I'll throw you to your death!"

Jin Dafu repeatedly agreed, how could he not believe it? He had gone to the Golden Eagle Tower at the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration and personally

witnessed Wu Tianjiao defeat the Asuras, beheading two of them with a single stroke. He believed that Wu Tianjiao could do what he said. After all,

the other party was the Golden Sword Prince Consort of the Empire, the third son of Wu Wudi. If he died at his hands, apart from going to the underworld to

complain , who in the mortal world would seek justice for him? He would die in vain. Jin Dafu did not want to die so unjustly.

Surrounded by numerous servants and thugs of Jiangshan Tower, they were usually only good at bullying those who ate and drank for free or ate

and dashed, but when it came to Wu Tianjiao… seeing him

lift , they were all terrified and fell silent, none daring to move. Of course, even if they dared to touch Jin Dafu

, they wouldn't allow it; daring to lay a hand on Wu Tianjiao was only possible if he was tired of living and Jiangshan Tower didn't want to stay in business.

Wu Tianjiao put Jin Dafu down and sneered, "Speak quickly! How exactly did my maid die?

Who brought her into the tower? Hmph! If you dare to hide anything from me, I'll burn down your

Jiangshan Tower and then slaughter your entire family!"

As he spoke, his left hand rested on the Dragon Soul Sword at his waist, making him appear even more murderous.

At this moment, Jin Dafu dared not be negligent. Cold sweat poured down his back, and he gasped for breath. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness!

Your maid…it has nothing to do with me. She…she was killed by His Highness Prince Fu! You can't blame me!"

"His Highness Prince Fu?"

Wu Tianjiao's pupils contracted, his gaze hardening. "You mean, it was the First Prince who killed my Xiang'er?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Jin Dafu nodded repeatedly, paused, and then said, "Your Highness, it's not just the First Prince, there's also...and also

..." "Who else?"

Wu Tianjiao said in a deep voice, "Just say it, don't beat around the bush!"

"And the Imperial Uncle and the others!"

Now, for the sake of his life and fortune, Jin Dafu had no choice but to grit his teeth and reveal everything: "

This afternoon, His Highness Prince Fu, Imperial Uncle Cao Wenrong, Third Imperial Uncle Cao Wenfu, Xiao Guoliang (the second young

master of the Xiao family), and, oh yes, Young Master Wu…" With each name Jin Dafu uttered, Wu Tianjiao's heart sank. He hadn't expected Xiang'er

's death to involve so many people. Hearing about Young Master Wu, his heart sank to the bottom. He said coldly, "Wu Tianhu ,

is he here too?"

Jin Dafu nodded and said, "Your Highness, this matter… it's all too sudden. His Highness Prince Fu and the others were

gathering here. Think about it, with his status, how could I possibly stop them!"

Wu Tianjiao's face was ashen, his gaze terrifyingly cold. Looking around, everyone who met his gaze

shivered and lowered their heads.

"Where are they?"

Wu Tianjiao asked grimly, "Where are Prince Fu and the others now?"
