Chapter 830: Chapter 830: The Raggedy Kid

“Yes, Prince, your servant will get right to it,” the steward suddenly saw the light, why hadn’t he thought of this method himself.

“Hurry along.”

“Yes.”

The steward hurriedly rushed to the main gate.

At the entrance of Prince Pu’s Mansion, it was packed tight with people.

To everyone’s surprise, someone had hanged themselves at the entrance of the mansion, and they were curious to see how Prince Pu would handle the matter!

At this moment, the steward came out and spoke loudly to a few house servants standing nearby: “.The matter has been investigated. This body is a servant of the mansion. The Prince has ordered us to quickly carry it back.”

The steward was ostensibly speaking to the house servants, but in reality, he was deliberately speaking for the crowd to hear.

The house servants were stunned for a moment — they had never seen this body before, but since the steward had said so, they did not dare to utter a word. After exchanging glances, they stepped forward together to move the body back to the mansion.

Seeing that the person who hung himself at the entrance was merely a servant from Prince Pu’s Mansion, the crowd’s interest waned significantly, and some people shook their heads with a sigh, preparing to leave.

Indeed, the servants of wealthy families are generally house-born servants.

What are house-born servants? Their parents are servants, and they are indentured. The offspring they bear are also servants, passed down generation to generation as house-born servants, their lives wholly in the hands of their masters.

Therefore, when a servant dies in Prince Pu’s Mansion, there is no need to report to officials; the Prince has the authority to deal with it.

There were no objections from the crowd, just a sigh, lamenting the lowly fate of a servant.

Just two steps away, the servants were about to carry the body back into the mansion.

The steward breathed a sigh of relief, finally having covered up the incident.

Suddenly, at this moment, a furious shout came from the crowd: “Wait.”

The steward had a bad feeling, and just as he wanted to tell the servants not to stop and hurry inside, suddenly, he saw a dark figure flash before him…

Following that, a heart-wrenching wail erupted: “Husband, how tragically you died!”

When he regained his composure and turned his head, he saw a woman lying on the body, sobbing uncontrollably.

“Dad, dad, don’t die.” Five ragged children emerged from the crowd, the youngest being only two or three years old and the oldest about ten.

They sobbed and rushed towards the body.

The steward’s mind exploded, Oh my God! What is going on!

He walked up, trying to steel himself, and said to the sobbing woman: “Young madam, could you have mistaken the person? He is our servant.”

Hearing this, the woman lying on the body wept even louder: “You cruel bastards of Prince Pu’s Mansion, you killed my husband and you even frame him as a servant of the mansion, oh woe is me… Is there no justice in the Capital?”

Upon hearing this, the steward was secretly alarmed, it turned out that this woman and these children were the family of deceased Zhang San.

“Young madam, please don’t cry, let’s go inside the mansion, sit down and discuss this properly,” the steward thought to bring the woman inside the mansion to calm her down and deal with it, perhaps compensating her with some silver since they looked so destitute.

“Discuss? What’s there to discuss? A life for a life, your Prince’s Mansion is really sinister, killing my husband and still claiming he was your servant. This is the Capital, under the emperor’s feet, does your Prince Pu’s Mansion intend to cover the sky with one hand?” The woman’s words were sharp.
