Chapter 36 A Few Things About the Little Emperor

　The middle of the soft couch next to the window was stained red with blood. A bloody dagger fell on the edge of the couch. Not far from the dagger was Wang Wencai's severed genitals.

　　Liao Min had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, but he still couldn't believe it. He carefully left the bedroom and looked at an older constable, who ordered him, "Go ask who was the first to find the body, and bring that person over."

　　The constable bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

　　Liao Min walked to the bedroom door and looked at the bolt carefully. It was broken in the middle, obviously caused by someone forcing the door open from the outside.

　　After a while, the constable came in with a servant. The constable bowed and said, "My lord, the person has been brought here."

　　The servant subconsciously glanced at the bedroom, shuddered with fear, his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, stammering, "Your servant greets you, my lord."

　　Liao Min said in a gentle tone: "Don't be nervous. Answer my questions truthfully and I won't embarrass you."

　　The servant kowtowed immediately and said, "I understand, sir, please ask."

　　"Were you the first one to discover the body?"

　　"Yes and no. It was like this, sir. Early in the morning, the servants came to call the young master for dinner, but no matter how we called, the young master did not respond. The servants were afraid something might happen, so they broke in through the door. I lost my balance and fell in, and saw the young master's body." The servant answered honestly.

　　"How was your young master's mental state last night?" Wang Wencai's affairs had spread throughout Kyoto, and Liao Min had heard a little about it, so she asked this question.

　　The servant subconsciously glanced at Wang Qiang who was sitting next to him. Wang Qiang said calmly, "Answer the truth!"

　　The servant who received the order then turned his gaze to Liao Min again and said, "Since the young master said that an evil ghost was haunting him more than half a month ago, he has been in a daze. But last night he was unexpectedly awake. The young master drove all the servants out of the room and said that no one could go in and disturb him without his order."

"You were guarding outside the door last night, didn't you hear any strange noises inside?"

　　The servant shuddered subconsciously, with obvious fear in his eyes. He swallowed and said, "Yes. After the young master drove the servants out, the servants stayed outside the door. At first, the bedroom was very quiet, until midnight, when the young master's screams suddenly came from the bedroom. The servants were worried about something happening, so they knocked on the door, but the young master said that if the servants dared to go in, he would break their legs. After a while, the young master's laughter came from the bedroom again, and the young master said, 'I'm not afraid of you, I'm not afraid of you'."

　　"After that, did you hear any other sounds?"

　　The servant's eyes flickered, and he stammered, "No, no more. After that, the room became quiet. The servants thought the young master was asleep, so they didn't dare to disturb him."

　　The servant's slightly flickering eyes did not escape Liao Min's eyes. He looked at the servant sharply and said in a stern tone: "You'd better answer truthfully. If you hide anything, I don't mind trying the power of the torture instruments on you."

　　The servant couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and begged for mercy quickly, "Sir, please spare me, please spare me! I'll tell you, I'll tell you right now! Not long after I heard the young master's laughter, I heard the sound of a stool falling to the ground. Sir, I've told you everything I know, please spare me and forgive my confusion just now!"
