The severed head, still with its mouth open, uttered its unfinished plea: "Gen...General, have mercy!"
The crowd let out a collective gasp at the scene.
After Situ Yongjie chopped off Doctor Wang's head, he discarded the blood-stained saber in his hand: "Ignorant fool, how dare you defy me."
Then, he shouted loudly, "Someone come! Feed this dog's corpse to the wolves."
"Yes."
The guards, snapping to attention, quickly moved to clean up Doctor Wang's body. They were all battle-hardened soldiers who had fought enemies alongside Situ Yongjie, so dealing with Doctor Wang's body did not frighten them; they tidied up swiftly with nimble hands.
But the maids were too terrified to look.
After all, they were young girls, inexperienced in worldly matters, sold by traffickers to the General's Mansion as servants. Naturally, they hadn't seen such gruesome scenes before, so it was normal for them to be scared.
Xuexue leisurely left only after Situ Yongjie had killed Doctor Wang.
