Originally, Chen Yao thought Shangguan Xiu was overthinking it, but unexpectedly, Shangguan Xiu was right. This guard really had a problem, which made Chen Yao very angry. How could his family keep such a guard?
The guard was already terrified by Shangguan Xiu's beating. On hearing Chen Yao's threat, he truly became frightened, unable to hold back his fear, he spoke out painfully, "I will talk, I'll talk. If I tell the truth, I hope Your Highness and this gentleman can spare me this time, can you?"
Chen Yao angrily kicked the guard, "Hurry up and speak! Don't try to bargain with me! You took my family's money and were supposed to protect our belongings, yet you allowed others to steal from us, and now you want to run away? How dare you ask us to spare you!"
The guard felt terrified upon hearing this.
