Chapter 155 Innocent People
Zhao Yu'er wiped the blood off her scabbard. At this moment, Zhao Yu'er was not like a clear spring in the mountains, but a lurking leopard in the mountains, every move of hers was deadly.
"Ever since Sister Ye left, I have been searching for her whereabouts. I practiced swordsmanship desperately, hoping to use my sword to kill her enemies one by one: those people in the town who refused to help her, those who betrayed her love, and that Prime Minister Jiang."
Zhong Tian's expression remained largely unchanged. She looked at Shan Fuping, who was lying dead on the ground, and said to Zhao Yu'er.
"You killed him so decisively, giving him a relief. If Ye Qing has a spirit after death and knows what he did, he probably wouldn't want to see him either."
Zhao Yu'er said indifferently, "How Sister Ye treats them in the underworld is her own business. I'm only responsible for delivering them to Sister Ye one by one."
Grandma Zhao looked at the scene before her with some surprise, as if she were seeing her silent grandson for the first time.
Zhao Yu'er said to Zhong Tian, "I know you. Sister Ye came back once later to get a sample of the repeating crossbow."
“I once stopped her, and she told me that, out of consideration for the people of Yulin Town who had protected her once, she wanted to wipe the slate clean.”
"She also told me not to worry, that she's happy to be with you now."
"If Sister Ye trusts you, then I will trust you too. This is the evidence I have collected of Prime Minister Jiang's disregard for human life and his rampant embezzlement. Today, I will hand it over to you."
Zhong Tian held the evidence in her hands with a heavy heart, feeling as if it weighed a ton. With her current abilities, submitting this evidence would only cause Prime Minister Jiang some distress for a few days, but it wouldn't cause him any real harm.
Zhao Yu'er wrapped the sword and dagger around his waist again, preparing to leave, but Granny Zhao grabbed his arm: "Yu'er, where are you going?"
Zhao Yu'er said coldly, "Sister Ye once said she would take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days, but now that Sister Ye is dead, you will die here all alone."
"And what about you? You're my own grandson..."
Zhao Yu'er shook off Granny Zhao's hand and said, "You're senile. Your grandson is dead. I'm an assassin. If it weren't for Sister Ye, I wouldn't even be here!"
Grandma Zhao was struck dumb, and despair overwhelmed her.
Nakata was curious about their story, but then felt even sadder. Whatever their story was, it had ended in tragedy!
Nakata asked, "Where are you going all by yourself?"
"Of course I'm going to take Prime Minister Jiang's life!"
"You're outnumbered and outmatched; you simply can't do it alone!"
Zhao Yu'er didn't care at all: "If I can't kill her the first time, then I will kill her a second time. If I can't kill her the third time, then I will kill her a fourth time. Before I go to see Sister Ye, I will definitely send that old thief Prime Minister Jiang to the underworld first."
Zhongtian returned to the mansion, where Xia Muning and others were waiting to greet her at the door.
Zhongtian could tell at a glance that Xia Muning was in a bad mood. Zhongtian glanced at Shishu, wanting to ask what was wrong, but Shishu's gaze fell on Jingtai, who was crying miserably in the courtyard.
This was Yue Xingxi's attendant, Zhong Tian recognized him.
Zhongtian's heart tightened, and he immediately stepped forward to ask, "Jingtai, what happened?"
Jingtai raised his eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, and said, "Lord Zhong, my young master has been taken away by Master Li."
"Lord Zhong, please, please save my young master."
……
Le Xingxi was copying poems in his room when Master Li entered with his servants.
He coldly surveyed the room, then burned all of Le Xingxi's poems to ashes in the charcoal fire.
Le Xingxi watched this scene coldly without saying a word. Only His Majesty gave her the courage to cause such a scene at the General's Mansion.
"Attendant Yue, His Majesty requests your presence."
Le Xingxi nodded and followed behind Master Li. If he didn't go today, he would be disobeying the imperial decree.
He gave Jingtai, who was anxiously waiting outside, a wink. Jingtai immediately went to find General Le. General Le thought for a moment and then told Jingtai to go find Zhongtian immediately.
General Yue thought coldly, "Will the woman Xingxi longs for be able to protect her son in such a difficult time?"
Le Xingxi felt that the road was becoming more and more familiar; it led to Wudao Temple. The unease in Le Xingxi's heart grew stronger.
The snow from yesterday has not yet melted, and His Majesty stands alone in the courtyard of Wudao Temple, utterly alone between heaven and earth.
Le Xingxi walked over and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Jiang Yuxiao glanced at Le Xingxi, a smile playing on her lips that held a hint of something unreadable. Her tone was incredibly gentle as she asked with concern, "Xingxi, the mountain path is slippery and cold. Did you catch a chill on your way here?"
Le Xingxi shook her head.
"Xingxi, I invited you here today so that you could see a good show!"
Let's watch a good show!
Le Xingxi, who was very familiar with Jiang Yuxiao, had a very bad feeling. He had grown up with His Majesty and knew him very well. Today, His Majesty seemed a little strange.
His eyes held sadness, tinged with a hint of madness.
Just as Le Xingxi was about to ask something, she suddenly saw Master Li bring two people over.
Le Xingxi knew these two people; they were his senior fellow apprentice and his lover, a farmer from the countryside.
Le Xingxi and Zhong Tian once witnessed their affair in the back mountain.
"Your Majesty, what is going on?"
“Xingxi, your senior brother, as a Buddhist disciple, should serve the Buddha with his body and remain chaste. Yet he has an affair with a woman, and this woman dares to defile a Buddhist disciple. The two of them are incredibly audacious and should be executed!”
"Someone, start a fire!"
Master Li immediately sent someone to start a fire.
Le Xingxi's senior brother and the woman were terrified, trembling all over, but they had no way to defend themselves. Their affair was a fact, and they could only press their bodies tightly together in fear, drawing courage from each other.
Le Congxi watched helplessly as the two people were placed on the fire, the flames rising and thick smoke, turning the sky gray and white.
It started as a whimpering cry of fear, which later turned into a somewhat shrill howl.
Le Congxi felt like he was going crazy. He felt the screams of the two people piercing his ears and into his heart. He collapsed to the ground, his stomach churning, and he vomited!
He knelt on the ground, pleading, "Your Majesty, please release them!"
