Yun Zheng was the only daughter of the richest man in Daqi, wealthy beyond measure. In her previous life, she married into the Marquis's estate with a dowry covering ten li, only to become a la...
Chapter 37 You Know How to Kill People
The emperor was stunned. "You forcibly took someone's wife? Whose family is she from? Which beautiful woman could make you so crazy?"
Li Wuyang sneered, and a huge black pot fell down.
"Who is it that falsely accuses me? I will raid his house and exterminate his entire clan."
The guard's face turned pale. "It's...Jinwu Guard, Fang Yu."
The Jinwu Guards were responsible for patrolling public security and guarding the capital, and were also responsible for defense during large-scale events.
The emperor waved his hand, his eyes full of interest, "Call him in quickly."
Fang Yu came in quickly and bowed respectfully, "I pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
The emperor couldn't wait to ask, "Tell me quickly, how did the Ninth Prince forcibly seize someone's wife? Which family did he steal the wife from?"
"Your Majesty, we robbed the daughter-in-law of the Pingxi Marquisate. The first generation of Pingxi Marquis assisted Taizu in achieving unparalleled meritorious service. Taizu promised that the Pingxi Marquisate would share the fate of the nation. How could we humiliate them?"
Li Wuyang's heart skipped a beat. Yun Zheng?
The emperor was stunned. The daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Pingxi? "What evidence is there?"
Fang Yu was a young man with a naive mind. He said righteously, "I heard that the Mingjing Division mobilized all of them and kidnapped her. How can they kidnap a common woman in broad daylight? Where does this put the reputation of the imperial family?"
"Your Majesty, please uphold justice and do not let the meritorious officials feel disheartened."
The emperor laughed heartily. "Nothing's wrong. You've been interacting with people frequently recently. It turns out you've been tempted by worldly desires. Okay, I'll help you snatch her away, but there's one thing I have to make clear: you can only take her as a concubine."
Fang Yu was stunned. This was aiding and abetting the evil! "Your Majesty, Prince Rui..."
Li Wuyang retorted expressionlessly, "Brother, the eldest lady of the Yun family and I are innocent and have never done anything wrong."
Fang Yu raised his head suddenly and said in surprise, "What's the eldest lady of the Yun family? It's Miss Ye Yizhen."
Li Wuyang was stunned for a moment, then, he didn't know whether it was disappointment or humiliation that surged in his heart, "A vicious bitch, does she deserve it? Fang Yu, your eyes are not working well, donate them."
"Nine Thousand Years Old, the rumors are all over the place. Who would believe you if you said it wasn't true? Unless you release the person."
Spread everywhere? So quickly? The Emperor and Li Wuyang frowned simultaneously. This was not right.
Li Wuyang's face was as dark as water. "Your Majesty, I have reason to suspect that someone is secretly planning all this, just to force me to release the person."
"The question is, how did they manage to deliver this message so accurately in such a short time? And how could they ensure it would reach the Emperor?"
The emperor's expression was not good either. "Are you saying that there are spies from the Pingxi Marquisate in the palace?"
It was not for Ye Yichen, it was clearly to save Jiang Wenzhou, the son of Pingxi Marquis.
"Yes." Li Wuyang had a vague feeling that this incident was not caused by Prince Jiang, but for Ye Yichen.
The emperor was already wary of those nobles and was displeased. "A thorough investigation will be conducted. No matter who is found guilty, there will be no leniency."
"Yes." Li Wuyang looked at Fang Yu coldly. Let's start cleaning the palace with him.
Fang Yu trembled violently and collapsed to the ground.
As dusk fell, Li Wuyang walked along the palace road with an expressionless face, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, and he felt indescribably lonely.
At this moment, a Mingjingsi came running over, "Master, Miss Yun injured Jiang Wenzhou's face. The situation is a bit serious. The Pingxi Marquis Mansion will not let this go."
Li Wuyang paused, frowning slightly, "Let's go, leave the palace."
When he returned to the Mingjing Division, he saw this scene and his anger grew even stronger.
"Entering the Mirror Division is a life-or-death experience. No one can escape unscathed. Use torture!"
Several subordinates rushed towards Ye Yichen. Jiang Wenzhou tried his best to stop them, but his two hands were no match for the numerous fists and he was knocked to the ground.
Ye Yizhen was captured and her hands were chained to the wall. She was terrified and trembling. "Nine Thousand Years Old, please spare me, please."
Jiang Wenzhou pleaded, "Zhenzhen is innocent. Please make an exception, Your Majesty. From now on, if you need anything, I will be there at your beck and call."
He was showing his submission.
However, there is no loyalty in a double-faced person like him. After suffering such a great humiliation, he would stab you in the back at any time.
Li Wuyang looked down at him, his eyes fell on the gauze on Jiang Wenzhou's face, and turned to look at Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng blinked her eyes, looking very innocent.
Li Wuyang frowned slightly. She acted too impulsively. She didn't hit people in the face and didn't hurt people in public. This gave her a handle.
"Prince Jiang, I heard you want to file a complaint with the emperor, and sue me?"
Jiang Wenzhou's expression changed drastically. "Nine Thousand Years Old, please tell me, there is absolutely no such thing. I have always admired you."
"What do you admire about me?"
Jiang Wenzhou felt extremely disgusted, but he flattered her and said, "You are extraordinary, heroic, decisive and efficient. You are a role model for our generation."
"You say one thing and mean another, you deserve a beating." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wuyang punched Jiang Wenzhou in the face. The wound that had just healed opened again, staining the gauze red.
Jiang Wenzhou felt a sharp pain in his face, and a fear rose in his heart. Could he be disfigured? Ahhhh, no!
Li Wuyang sneered, "Waste."
A whip was lashed at Ye Yizhen. The spoiled Ye Yizhen had never suffered such pain before. Her skin was torn and she was in excruciating pain. "Ah."
"It hurts, it hurts so much, please stop hitting me, I really don't know."
Nanny Wang was furious, anxious, and distressed. "Don't hit my young lady. She really doesn't know anything. You can't force her to confess."
Another whip was lashed down, and Ye Yichen felt excruciating pain, her eyes rolled back, and she was about to faint.
Jiang Wenzhou rushed over and hugged Ye Yizhen tightly.
The whip hit him hard, he let out a muffled groan, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down.
Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows and sneered, "What a loving couple."
Li Wuyang felt a strange feeling in his heart, "Miss Yun, you are the victim, how do you think we should deal with them?"
Jiang Wenzhou was as excited as if he had heard of a special pardon. "Yun Zheng, for the sake of our marriage, please help me. I can guarantee that Zhen Zhen is just hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. She's not the kind of ruthless person."
"As long as you let Zhenzhen go, I won't pursue the matter of you assassinating me. The three of us will live a good life from now on."
That's impossible. As long as he survives this disaster, he will send all these people to death!
Ye Yizhen forced herself to cheer up and pleaded pitifully, "Yun Zheng, although I was unaware of the situation, I failed to manage the servants properly. It's my fault. I apologize."
Yun Zheng was pleased in her heart, but her expression was uncertain, "It really wasn't you?"
Ye Yizhen desperately tried to seize the opportunity, "I swear, if it were me, I would be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
After she swore, Yun Zheng slowly said, "I don't believe this, you don't have to swear."
Ye Yizhen was so angry that she cursed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Yun Zheng smiled sweetly, but spoke ruthlessly, "As long as you kill Nanny Wang with your own hands to prove your innocence, then I will forgive you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell into unusual silence, and everyone looked at Yun Zheng in unison.
How could she say the cruelest words with the sweetest smile?
There is nothing more cruel than killing someone and destroying their heart. This woman is too cruel!
Yun Zheng smiled even sweeter. "Kill? Or not?"
This was a plan to wipe out the entire family! A plan that killed two birds with one stone! Ye Yizhen's eyes widened in horror. A chill rose from the soles of her feet, quickly spreading to her limbs, chilling her entire body...
