Yuan Li's plan was straightforward: arrange for two people to whisper about the recent incident where a disciple of Wang Ying killed the Jiankang Left Captain at the Wang Family house near where Liu Kui passed by. The two murmured, "That disciple was clearly acting on Wang Ying's orders. The Jiankang Left Captain was innocent, just mentioning Wang Ying's father, Wang Han, in a comment. Wang Ying felt mocked, and without a word, he immediately ordered the disciple to kill the Left Captain."
Liu Kui heard this and immediately had the two brought back home. Upon questioning, he found out that one of them had an uncle who worked as a gardener for the Wang Family, trimming flowers and trees. On that particular day, he was moving flower pots at the Wang Family house and overheard the Jiankang Left Captain drunkenly mention Wang Han. Moments later, Wang Ying's disciple came out holding a knife, killing the Jiankang Left Captain on the spot.
Scared to death.
