C398 398 Mansion Surrounded

"What does Your Highness mean by this?" "Who's the one behind this?"

Jiang Yao looked at Yan Yuan, his gaze carrying a dense amount of probing.

Yan Yuan did not beat around the bush with him, and the expression on his face changed from the initial absent-minded to a cold and stern one.

Jiang Yao, you already have a body covered with crimes, if you admit your wrongs and hand over the mastermind, this king will consider taking matters into his own hands. Otherwise, all of you in Jiang Family will die together with your nine familial crimes. "

Jiang Yao was so frightened by Yan Yuan's words that his face twitched.

In the face of Yan Yuan's powerful aura, he was not afraid that it was a lie. It was just that when he thought about how Yan Yuan was currently in a trap, the fear in his heart dropped a little.

A few eerie laughter came out from Jiang Yao's mouth, and his gaze towards Yan Yuan became even colder.

"Does Your Highness still think that you have the ability to deal with this humble subject? Right now, the entire Guangshun Mansion is in this humble subject's hands, what your highness should be concerned about is whether or not your life can still be left, and not thinking of how to take the lives of this humble subject and his family. "

Yan Yuan's eyes slightly narrowed, "Now you're determined to kill this king, aren't you?"

"Your Highness, don't blame this humble subject for being vicious and merciless. In the current situation, if I don't die, then this humble subject will die, and using your life to exchange for the lives of the nine families of this humble subject's."

Yan Yuan's gaze turned cold. Under the current situation, the only way to leave was if he used his internal energy.

However, he had promised Qing Er that he would be fine and return to see her.

He did not want to disappoint Qing Er time and time again.

However, if he didn't do anything now, with just Wang Xuan Ling and Shen Qin, he definitely wouldn't be able to leave.

He could only stall for time and try his best to get the Marquis of Pingxi here.

Fortunately, Qing Er had already left.

In his heart, Yan Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After that, he looked up at Jiang Yao and said: "Since that's the case, let this king see fifth brother first."

Jiang Yao's gaze carried a few degrees of scrutiny as he looked at Yan Yuan, seemingly lost in thought. Under his calm and collected face, he did not seem to have any thoughts at all.

"Yan Yuan, what other tricks are you trying to play?"

Jiang Yao was no longer polite and did not even bother calling his "Prince" anymore.

"You are confident that you can trap This King, but you are also worried that This King will play any tricks at this time?"

Yan Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This king and Ning Wang are still considered brothers, it isn't strange for me to meet my own brother before I die, right?"

Jiang Yao looked at Yan Yuan as if he thought of something. His calmness had actually made him lose confidence even more.

The more curious and apprehensive Jiang Yao was, the more he did not dare to act rashly. He immediately said to the person beside him, "Go and call Ning Wang over."

"Yes."

About a quarter of an hour later, King Ning's palanquin slowly appeared outside the magistrate court.

Ning Wang came out of the palanquin wearing a brown robe.

He was thirty-five to sixty-six years old, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Yan Yuan's.

The men of the Yan Clan all had the appearance of heaven. Even though they were old, they couldn't conceal their magnificence.

However, Yan Jin's mother had a humble background. Yan Jin did not have the grandeur of the other princes.

Even if it was doing bad things, it was still a subservient act.

Although he was older than Yan Yuan by a dozen years, in front of Yan Yuan, he clearly lost his courage.

When his gaze met Yan Yuan's, he was so afraid that he immediately retracted his gaze. His heart was still trembling.

Only after a moment did he calm down.

Seeing Yan Yuan being surrounded by thousands of archers, his heart calmed down a little.

He put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly. Then he stepped forward, his eyes pretending to squint in order to show that he was superior.

"Ninth brother, I heard you want to see me?"

"Fifth brother, it's been so long since we last met. Why are you still so stupid?"

Yan Yuan did not care about Yan Jin's face in the slightest, and the moment he opened his mouth, he made Yan Jin feel embarrassed in front of everyone.

With the thousand people behind him, he pointed at Yan Yuan and scolded: "Yan Yuan, are you courting death?"

Seeing Yan Yuan's eyelids, he only raised it slightly, and said: "Could it be that this king will still be able to leave this place alive? On the other hand, you have lived for more than thirty years. You are old, but your brain has yet to grow.

Although Yan Jin did not have much authority in the imperial family, the Guangshun Mansion was his territory.

Ever since the previous emperor ascended to the throne, his younger brothers had been treated fairly. Even the low born Yan Jin had also bestowed the title of a prince to his younger brothers and bestowed the title of feudal fiefdom.

And this Guangshun Mansion, was Yan Jin's sealed land back then.

Right now, in front of thousands of people, Yan Yuan had to teach him a lesson like a slave. No matter how much he feared Yan Yuan, he was so angry that he wanted to slash Yan Yuan into pieces.

But he still didn't dare do that. Yan Yuan's Battle God title wasn't come for nothing, he was holding onto his blade now, he could easily kill him.

Although Yan Yuan was already at the end of his tether, he did not want to die with Yan Yuan.

"Yan Yuan, do you think you're still a high and mighty King Jing? This king has always wanted to have a fight with your brother, so I won't argue with you. "

Yan Jin's expression was a little twisted, but facing Yan Yuan, he kept his words in his mouth, not daring to say it out loud.

Yan Yuan played with his fingertips, and laughed indifferently, "Fifth brother, do you really think that the person behind you is someone who has good intentions to help you? If you think about it carefully, the person who revealed himself is you. Even if This King were to investigate further, it would not be a big deal for him.

He knew that Yan Jin was a very foolish person, and his mind was also very simple. He only needed to say a few random words to get the person behind Yan Jin.

He had never thought that Yan Yuan was trying to trick him into speaking such words. Hearing him say that, he lowered his gaze and started to ponder.

Then, as if he understood something, it was indeed as Yan Yuan had said. Whatever that man did, he wanted him to do, so that he could carry it out.

Even letting Jiang Yao come and besiege Yan Yuan this time was the same.

The other party's goal was to cooperate with him and take away their hundreds of thousands of stones to provide disaster relief. They had another goal after all.

When he thought about how Yan Yuan had so easily captured the relief food, and how the account book had also fallen into Yan Yuan's hands, he suddenly realised something and his body trembled.

Seeing his slight change in expression, Yan Yuan laughed: "Fifth brother, do you understand now?"

Jiang Yao sat on the horse. Seeing that Yan Jin was hesitating, he became anxious.

At this point, if Yan Yuan was not dead, then he was dead.

He did not believe that with Yan Yuan's temperament, she would let him go.
