Inside the living room of the Xi family’s home, Xi Kong Hai was sitting on a sofa. He was an old man with a wrinkled face. He looked like a man who was prepared to die. His eyes were dull like those of a dead man’s.
But, of course, he was still alive. The news today had hit him hard mentally. One could say that it was the hardest thing that he had experienced in his lifetime.
He leaned against the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling. The news was none other than the killing of Xi Du!
He had been murdered in Xing Zhou city. The condition of his corpse was so bad it was barely recognizable!
The news was hard to take. It was so very different than when Xi Dong had been arrested. Even though he had to spend fifty years in jail, he was at least still alive.
And if they could find a way to make a deal with the nine most influential generals in the Chinese army, it would be possible to get Xi Dong out of his cell before his jail sentence ended.
