Horses' hooves were galloping towards them in a hurry. The sound of horses' hooves stopped the chaotic crowd in their tracks, and they continued to fight. This voice also saved Wei Lingyun, exposing that he was a powerful official. However, he had left the capital and was in danger of appearing.

"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?

"Has the War King arrived?"

Liu Wanzhou thought to himself, Is it finally going to end? That scream just now was enough to shock him.

The hooves of the war horses sounded in unison, and they quickly arrived outside the Liu family courtyard. There weren't many people, only fifty or so, but the aura of soldiers directly crushed 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, one of the four great families of the Kingdom of Shan Yang. His kung fu was outstanding and his battle achievements were great. He was able to appoint Shan Yang as the important city lord of the northern border.

Since ancient times, the Grand Marshal had been surnamed Huangfu. He was a influential force in the country, and was also one of the supporting forces 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 that the guards could not use force, but they did not order them to not dare to kill, and only dared to parry. In the end, they ended up getting kicked by the hands and feet of hundreds of civilians and soldiers, and it was considered good that they did not die.

"Reporting to City Lord, this lowly subordinate has already found out that it was the demoness, Fang Ning, who was responsible for massacring the entire village. Who would've thought that the Liu Clan would come to capture the person, and they won't release him …"

"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 courage was too great, he even dared to touch the 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 enough time to scream the word injustice before he was sent flying back by a slap. Two strong armored men picked him up like a chick 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 an emperor. Not many people knew about this, which 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 didn't want him to continue speaking. Not to mention the fact that he couldn't be trusted, even if what he said was the truth, he still had to 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 was the one who spoke nonsense. I don't have any evidence to accuse that Miss Dongfang 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 …"

Fang An continued to cry out grievances. He did not 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 crowd that had been beaten up, Fang An stopped crying. He could only whimper softly. Everyone in the village had died … 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 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 gone to see the matters on the mountain. There are two possibilities. First, there is an unknown poison appearing at night on the mountain, causing the entire village to be poisoned …"

"Two: There are enemy spies on the mountain Yang Mountain, who poison the mountain at night, thereby messing up our mountain nation's foundation. There are many suspicious points in this case, before there is no evidence, no one can be blamed. 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 said. No one would interrupt him now. What they were concerned about was what would happen to the Liu family if he caused a ruckus today.

"The dead shall be buried with the aid of the government!"

"The crime is Wang Chengcai and Yang Zhongming. It has nothing to do with anyone else, so let's disperse. Those who complain to the Liu family and have grievances, write a petition and hand it over to me. I will get an explanation for all of you …"

Wei Lingyun, who was in the room, was overjoyed when he heard this. "Liu Wanzhou, your new weakness is now in his hands. What do you want in exchange for safety?"

"..."
