Chapter 52 What if the charges are proven?

That night, none of the 159 people in the general's mansion survived, and their bodies were thrown into a mass grave.

The merchant committed treason, and the whole city was in an uproar.

The people did not believe it and demanded a thorough investigation, but were suppressed to no avail.

The Shang family is full of loyal heroes, and several generations have died on the battlefield. How could they commit treason?

"Junior sister, don't be so stubborn. Let's leave the city." Gu Qingyue picked up Song Ningshu by the waist.

"Senior brother, you can't leave. I feel that what happened here is very important to me." Song Ningshu had recovered, his complexion slowly returning to its rosy color, and he looked serious.

She pulled Gu Qingyue's sleeve.

"Alas..." Seeing that her complexion had improved a lot, Gu Qingyue compromised again, "Okay, okay, I really can't persuade you."

"Put me down." Song Ningshu smiled at him soothingly, "I know my body well, nothing will happen to me."

"Okay." Gu Qingyue put her down reluctantly.

Yan Zhen: ...

The two uncles treated her as nothing. Why did her stomach feel a little bloated?

But why does it feel a bit sweet?

Yan Zhen's eyes sparkled and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

Feeling Yan Zhen's strange gaze, Song Ningshu and Gu Qingyue both looked at her.

Gu Qingyue, "What are you laughing at?"

This nephew seems to have some problem with his brain and doesn't seem very smart.

Yan·Not very smart·Something wrong with his brain·Zhen touched the corner of his mouth, "Ah? Really? Did I smile?"

Gu Qingyue's mouth twitched and he stopped looking at her, thinking that everyone was as stupid as her.

The State of Chen borders the State of Western Yan.

"Are you awake?" A young male voice sounded in the tent.

Shang Zhiyan opened his eyes, sat up in bed, and looked warily at the owner of the voice, "Crown Prince of Western Yan."

"It's me." The Crown Prince of Western Yan had a smile on his face, as if he was unaware of his vigilance.

"Why did you save me?"

"I want the 300,000 troops under your command to make way for me, so that my Western Yan cavalry can flatten the capital of Chen Kingdom."

Shang Zhiyan squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Dream on."

The Shang family has been loyal and brave for generations and would never betray their country.

"You were framed for treason by the Ouyang family." The Crown Prince of Western Yan raised his eyebrows.

Shang Zhiyan had nothing to say.

"Take another look at this." The Crown Prince of Western Yan said as he handed him a secret letter.

Shang Zhiyan took it doubtfully. After a while, veins popped out on his hands and he crumpled the letter into a ball. If you looked closely, you would see that his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

After a long pause, he spoke, "I can promise you that I will make way for you, but your Western Yan army must not burn, kill, or plunder the cities you have occupied, and must not kill any innocent people from the Chen Kingdom."

"Okay." The Crown Prince of Western Yan agreed immediately.

Shang Zhiyan didn't say anything else. He had been fighting with the Crown Prince of Western Yan for so long, so he naturally knew that if he agreed, it would be a promise.

"So we're leaving tomorrow?"

Shang Zhiyan nodded.

The crown prince of Western Yan left.

“Ha…hahahahaha…”

Shang Zhiyan sat on the bed and suddenly covered his eyes and laughed. As he laughed, tears flowed from his fingers.

He was ten years old when his mother died, and he didn't cry.

When he heard the news of his father's death, he was twelve years old, but he didn't cry. He took care of the funeral and took care of his two-year-old sister.

At the age of sixteen, he went to the battlefield and became a general with great military achievements. He earned his military merits only for protecting his sister and ensuring her a worry-free life.

People are used to calling his father the General and the Major General.

What did he get in return for his ten years of fighting on the battlefield?

The Shang family is full of loyal martyrs, buried on the battlefield, but what did they get in return?

All 159 people in the Shang family were slaughtered.

Collaboration with the enemy and treason...

Collaboration with the enemy and treason...

hehe……

So what if he proves the crime?

He has lost his only relative, so what if he collaborates with the enemy and betrays his country?

The Ouyang family is unkind, so don't blame Shang Zhiyan for being disloyal and unjust!

In just ten days, the army of Western Yan broke through numerous passes and marched straight to Baishi City, the capital of Chen State.

The leader was Shang Zhiyan, the former border general of Chen State.

The people were horrified. It was true that the general guarding the border had colluded with the enemy and committed treason!

On the day the city was broken, Shang Zhiyan killed half of the nobles in the city.

He was wearing black battle armor, his face covered in blood, blood dripping from the tip of his sword, warm blood splattered on his face and armor, the blood wet and dried, dry and wet again.

His eyes were bloodshot, like a Shura crawling out of hell, like an emotionless god of death, taking lives with a wave of his hand and a drop of his sword.

That day, the palace was littered with corpses and filled with wailing, which frightened many timid palace maids and eunuchs to faint.

Afterwards, the Crown Prince of Western Yan, who had already become the Emperor of Western Yan, felt a chill down his spine when he recalled the incident.

Because Shang Zhiyan's method of killing is extremely cruel.

He pierced the heart of Emperor Chen with a single sword strike, chopped off his head, and kicked it several feet away...

He had Crown Prince Ouyang Zhou stripped of his skin and tendons, torn his tendons and bones, and he died with his eyes open...

He chopped off the limbs of the Second Prince, Ouyang Shen, and turned him into a human pig...

The Third Prince was skinned and boned by him...

The people of Baishi City cursed.

They called Shang Zhiyan ungrateful, heartless, cruel, a demon from hell, a traitor, and a disgrace to the entire Shang family.

For a time, the people of Baishi City criticized Shang Zhiyan verbally and in writing.
