C416 Young Lord should know by now

"This person is the remnants of the previous dynasty's organization, the People from the Divine Artefact Hall. Shen Ji Hall wants to borrow the prestige of the Lord Yu in your hearts to guide you to fight against the imperial government. Not only do you not care about the lives of your entire clan, you've even harmed the Lord Yu to such an extent …"

He pointed at Yu Liang and said to the villagers.

He usually didn't display his emotions easily, but at this moment, he was purposely showing a grief-stricken expression, trying to stir up the emotions of these villagers.

The common people's thoughts were very pure, they were easily provoked by the pseudoyuangliang, and naturally, they were easily provoked by him as well.

When he said that, the townspeople stared at pseudoyuangliang, wishing even more deeply that they could eat and drink his blood.

Naturally, it would not be so easy for someone to provoke these people to rebel against the Imperial Court in the future.

This was the purpose of Yan Yuan's plan.

"Fellow villagers, for your sake, Lord Yu went against the corrupt officials and officials, even if he had to suffer in prison, he would bring out the last of the family's food to save you. When the people are in trouble, he was the first to rush out, and now that he has suffered such inhuman torture, this king will listen to whatever you have to say about him."

These words were naturally to remind Yu Liang of the things he had done for the common people. This way, he would be able to mobilize the hatred these people had towards the Shen Ji Hall.

"In order to save me, Lord Yu almost died from the bite of the poisonous snake. People from the Divine Artefact Hall actually dared to hurt Lord Yu like this.

"That's right, to be executed at any moment, with a thousand cuts and ten thousand cuts!"

"…"

pseudoyuangliang glared at Yan Yuan fiercely. He finally understood why Doctor Chen said that Yu Liang's legs were broken half a month ago.

He wanted to pass all his achievements on to Yu Liang by disguising himself as the pseudoyuangliang.

One year ago, Yu Liang's reputation was pretty good in the Chengyang County, even though he was also well-mannered and bowed to the best of his abilities.

However, he had been ordered to replace Yu Liang. In order to establish a higher prestige in the eyes of the people, the effort that he put in was not something that anyone could imagine.

including defending the villagers from the poisonous snake, he risked being poisoned to death, making the villagers grateful towards him. In the end, Yan Yuan turned into a villager and all the good things that happened half a month ago, were all done by that cripple.

Good, really good, with just two simple words from Yan Yuan, everything that he did became helping others.

Yan Yuan smiled as he looked at him, his lips curling up slightly.

"Alright, This King will listen to the villagers."

The smile on his face vanished in an instant. "Men, take this man to the execution grounds and execute him instantly."

To be executed with a single slash would mean cutting off pieces of his flesh. There was a total of 3600 cuts, and they couldn't be missing a single slash.

This was torture that would cause someone to die from the pain.

pseudoyuangliang looked at Yan Yuan with a pale face. Then, he clenched his teeth and said: "Yan Yuan, you are ruthless.

"You can choose a master in your next life before you seek refuge!"

Yan Yuan looked at pseudoyuangliang coldly and ordered, "Take him down and execute him!"

That afternoon, the entire Chengyang County was replaced by Yu Zhixian. Not only were their legs broken, their tongues were cut off.

With Yu Liang's influence in the Chengyang County, in a single night, all of the citizens of the Chengyang County hated the Shen Ji Hall to death.

They all promised that if they ever found traces of People from the Divine Artefact Hall in the future, they would definitely not let them off.

People from the Divine Artefact Hall didn't think that not only did Yan Yuan discover the identity of the pseudoyuangliang, he even found the Yu Liang that they threw into the mountains to fend for themselves before. This time, they had lost a hall master, so their losses were quite large.

He had originally wanted to control the Chengyang County and make it easier for them to deal with the imperial government in the future, but he did not expect that not only did he not reap any benefits, he had even lost the life of a hall master.

"How preposterous!"

In the Shen Ji Hall, an old man angrily smashed the table in front of him. He looked at the white-haired old man sitting in front of him and said: "This time, we lost miserably."

The old man opposite of him did not speak, he only lifted his eyelids and said: "I've already said this before, we cannot underestimate Yan Yuan. You should not use the matter of food for disaster relief to lure Yan Yuan over."

"How could we have expected that Kaiser would actually send Yan Yuan over to a small town like that?"

If they had expected a case involving relief food to spoil such a big deal, they definitely wouldn't have made the wrong decision.

The white-haired old man lightly smiled and didn't say anything more.

"Young Master is right, Yan Yuan was poisoned by a poison, such a good opportunity to kill him, why would Young Master leave his life behind, I just can't figure it out."

"Young Lord must have his own reasons for doing so. It's better if we don't make wild guesses. This incident is just a lesson. It's just the loss of a small county. It's no big deal."

Compared to the calmness of the white-haired old man, the more the old man thought about it, the more unwilling he became. However, he did not dare to carelessly say that his master was in the wrong. Thus, he could only sigh.

"Where did the Young Master go? He has been gone for several days already and I wonder if he has any news about the Chengyang County."

The white-haired old man smiled as he narrowed his eyes: "The young master should know by now."

After settling the matters with the Chengyang County, there was temporarily one less problem for the imperial government.

Ning Wang was a member of the imperial clan. His trial was to be handed over to the clan. However, he had committed the crime of premeditated murder against the prince, and his death sentence couldn't be avoided.

Since Jiang Yao had been handed over to the Ministry of Justice, naturally, he would not escape the death penalty.

Yan Yuan and the rest prepared to return to the capital, so he asked Lu Yuan He to accompany them.

The case from fifteen years ago, now that Lu Yuan He was found, it was time to review.

That year, the death of General Meng had already been suspicious. Lu Yuan He did not have any motive to kill them, but the person behind the death of General Meng might be in the midst of the Imperial Court right now.

There were quite a few people who had benefited from General Meng's death. As long as they investigated deeper, they would be able to find some traces of him.

"Your Highness, your poison …"

There were only five or six days left before his return to the capital. During these few days, Lu Yuan He would punctually come to check his pulse.

Because of his previous experience of spitting blood, when Yan Yuan saw Lu Yuan He's ugly expression, he did not have much of a reaction, as if he was already mentally prepared for it.

"Speak, no need to worry."

Yan Yuan sat in front of the table.

Fortunately, Liu Ruo Qing and Shen Qin had gone out on the streets, so she did not notice what had happened.

Lu Yuan He pondered for a moment, and after organizing his thoughts, he said carefully, "To be honest, Your Highness, in these few days, this commoner has been trying to increase the amount of poison you have, but the poison in your body has already seeped into your heart, so no matter how heavy the dosage is, it's impossible to force the poison out …"

He took a glance at Yan Yuan's calm expression and was unable to discern his current emotions.
