"Wait a little longer." Wei Lingyun told Dongfang Ning to sit down. "You have to learn how to wait and see."
"..."
Dongfang Ning rolled her eyes. Even if she couldn't learn it, she couldn't. Now that her acupoints were being suppressed, what could she do?
"Is Battle King here yet?"
Liu Wanzhou thought to himself, is it finally going to end? The scream just now shocked him.
Very quickly, they arrived outside the Liu Family Academy. There weren't many people, only fifty or so, but the aura of soldiers directly crushed down everyone present.
The chaotic crowd quietened down as they looked back at the path they had come from. The one leading them was a peerless young master riding on a big, purple horse. He was wearing a purple robe and had a dignified look on his face.
Huangfu Qi was the second son of the Huangfu Family Clan, one of the four great families of the Shan Yang Country. His kung fu was outstanding and his battle achievements were impressive.
Huangfu Family flourished with the lives of soldiers. Since ancient times, the real Grand Marshal of Shan Nation had always been surnamed Huangfu, and had a decisive and influential influence within the Shan Nation. He was also one of the supporting forces that all the princes fought for.
"Greetings, City Lord Huangfu!" As soon as Wang Cheng saw him, he immediately knelt down to pay his respects. All the officers and soldiers also knelt down and called out loudly, "Greetings, City Lord!"
"Wang Chengcai, what's going on?!"
It was not because the guards could not use force, but because there was no order for them to not dare to kill anyone and only dare to parry. In the end, they fell to the ground and were kicked by the hands of hundreds of citizens and soldiers, it was considered good that they did not die.
"Reporting to City Lord, this lowly subordinate has already ascertained that it was the demoness, Fang Ning, who was responsible for massacring the entire village. Who would have thought that Liu Family would come to seize the person, and they wouldn't let him go …"
"Tell me everything from the beginning to the end and don't hide a single thing!"
Huangfu Qi didn't expect this to happen, Wang Chengcai's guts were too big, he even dared to touch Liu Family.
He did not let them get up, nor did he have any intention of dismounting. He just sat on the horse and listened quietly as Wang Chengcai narrated the details of the incident.
"What a good Imperial Physician Yang!" The moment he heard Wang Chengcai's words, he immediately glared at him and said,
"Someone come!" "Capture this bewitching Yang Zhongming, who has provoked the wrath of the people, for me!"
"Unjustified …" Yang Zhongming only had time to scream the word "wronged" before he was slapped back. Two strong men in armor picked him up like a chicken and threw him in front of Huangfu Qi's horse.
"If you don't stay in the palace and share the worries for the Emperor's dragon body, then come to this faraway little town to make things difficult for the people. What do you want? "Tell me clearly, otherwise, I will definitely kill him, and then I will give Yang Taisui an explanation."
Yang Zhongming's son, Yang Qing, was the Monarch of the Western Prefecture. Although he was not in the capital, his power was equivalent to a local tyrant. However, not many people knew about this matter and this was one of the reasons why he was so arrogant.
"General Huangfu, I don't have any demons to bewitch people. How could there be a night? In just a moment, I could kill all living things in the two villages. Only by using a demonic technique can I do this …"
"Take off his tongue!" Huangfu Qi wouldn't let him continue talking. Don't say that he couldn't be trusted, even if what he said was the truth, he must die today.
"Wait, I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"Yes, I was jealous in my heart and guessed it …"
"Say it loudly so that the people can hear and understand!"
"Fellow villagers, I am the one who spoke nonsense. I don't have any evidence to accuse that Dong Lili of being a monster!"
Yang Zhongming was frightened to the point that his guts were about to burst. At this time, he didn't dare to say anything about saving face. It was more important to keep his life first.
Keeping his life was not a big deal, but it was going to be troublesome if he harmed his son.
"So there were no demons, ah. This Imperial Physician Yang really deserves to die. This time we're in trouble. We're blaming the good guys, but won't the city lord punish us for our crimes?"
"..." "We are truly ignorant. There isn't any demon in this world, what should we do now …"
When the commoners heard Yang Zhongming's words, they couldn't help but start discussing in a low voice.
"Wu ~ My sister is wronged, these people are just spouting nonsense. I study in the town and can only go home once a month. "Today, when I went to school early, I only heard that something big happened in the village. I also heard that my sister is a demon, and my sister is not. I beg of you, my lord, please make the decision …"
Faang Ann continuously called out injustice. He didn't know if his sister was among the group of people on the ground.
"Stop arguing first. Right and wrong. The city lord of Huangfu City will naturally understand that your sister did not come out." Didn't you see that imperial physician plead guilty? "
Immediately, a kind-hearted citizen pulled him aside and consoled him in a low voice. This was the only survivor from that village. Their hearts ached over this loss.
Hearing that Fang Ning was not among the people being beaten up, Faang Ann stopped crying and only cried softly. The entire village was dead … He only had one sister.
"Because of a personal grudge, Yang Zhongming tried to seduce the masses, instigating trouble, provoking civil strife, dragging the matter down with him! On the account that it has helped the Emperor for so many years, it has left the corpse intact! "
"Wang Chengcai, as the parent official of one side, he did not differentiate right from wrong, did not differentiate black from white, and casually sent troops to disturb the people, causing panic among the people. Thinking that he'd been bewitched and had only sinned against him, pull him down and cut him off!
After the two of them were pulled away, Huangfu Qi jumped off his horse and said, "Both of you, get up." Immediately, someone brought him a long chair that had fallen to the ground and cleaned it before letting him sit down.
"Fellow villagers, there are no demons in this world. I have already seen the matter of Shan Yang Mountain, and now there are two possibilities. First, there is an unknown poison appearing at night on the Shan Yang Mountain, causing the entire village to be poisoned."
"Two: There are enemy nation scouts on the Shan Yang Mountain, so poison the mountain at night to disturb the foundation of our Shan Nation. There are many doubtful points in this case, before there is no evidence, no one can be blamed carelessly. This matter had come to an end. No more random word about demons or devils!
This case shall be written as a memorial to the heavens and listened to by the gods. In the future, the Beijing people will send someone to investigate this matter and give those commoners justice. "
The mayor was so domineering!
Everyone quietly listened to what he had to say, and no one would interrupt him if he said anything. What they were concerned about was what would happen if he caused a ruckus at Liu Family today.
"The dead shall be buried with the aid of the government!"
"The crime today is that Wang Chengcai was with Yang Zhongming, and it has nothing to do with the others." Today, the crime is that Wang Chengcai was with Yang Zhongming, and it has nothing to do with the others, and everything to do with the people.
Wei Lingyun, who was in the room, was elated when he heard this. "Liu Wanzhou, your new weakness is about to be grasped by him. What are you going to trade for safety?"
"..."
