"Yes, yes, I saw it. I was wondering what kind of lantern was so big, but I didn't expect it to be a human skin lantern. This young master of the Li Kun family is really too terrifying."
A living person was killed so easily by him, and the authorities didn't even step in to stop it. The Li Kun family is truly utterly lawless.
"These are people from the Li Kun family. Only the eldest prince can control them now. The government is too busy currying favor with them to even think about managing them."
If the second prince were alive, or if the Khan were not so seriously ill, he would certainly not have allowed these people to do such a thing.
"Oh, so what? Aren't they all prisoners of war from the Great Jin brought back from the border? What does this have to do with us? The Great Jin soldiers are fighting us right now at the border."
Don't you hate those people from the Great Jin? They were a group of people without any sense of contract who killed the Second Prince.
"What's wrong with the young master of the Li Kun family bringing a few people to vent his anger? Even so, I think it's not enough."
"You believe that? It takes at least a month to transport prisoners from the border to Ancheng. Who would go to so much trouble to transport people?"
Moreover, if they were truly prisoners of war from the border, why would Tuyuhun not hurry up and find out the tactics of the Great Jin before sending them back to Likun?
That's obviously impossible; I don't believe it anyway.
“Why is that impossible? The people leading the Tuyuhun troops at the border are from the Likun family. Why not send a few Jin people back to the young master of the Likun family for some fun?”
The surrounding people each had their own opinion.
Jiang Yimian suddenly recalled the large lanterns she had seen on the city wall when she first entered the city. At the time, she had found them strange, but now, thinking about them, she couldn't help but feel a chill.
These people have no regard for human life whatsoever. They brazenly torture and kill people, and then turn them into lanterns. It's truly hateful.
Her gaze unconsciously fell on the three cages, but she couldn't help but frown.
Those were not people from the Great Jin Dynasty.
Although their faces are not clearly visible now, the exposed joints of those people indicate that they are Tuyuhun people.
The Tuyuhun people and the Jin people differed not only in appearance, but also in their bone structure.
Ordinary people wouldn't notice anything unusual. If she hadn't observed carefully, she would probably have thought the three people in the cage were from the Great Jin Dynasty.
But if the people in the cage are Tuyuhun people, then why did that young master Likun say they were from the Great Jin?
The reason given—that it was merely to vent anger on the people of the Great Jin—is far too far-fetched.
Putting aside the fact that so many Tuyuhun people were watching, wouldn't such open and aboveboard massacre of Jin people make the people feel it was cruel and cause them to become dissatisfied with it?
Even the guards around those cages didn't show any anger or resentment on their faces; instead, they seemed reluctant and afraid.
Yes, it's fear.
How could they, as the ones who actively committed the torture and killing, possibly feel fear? They would only feel such fear and pity if they were worried that the same fate befell them.
Jiang Yimian was feeling strange when she sensed that the person next to her seemed to stiffen.
She turned her head to look at Aguzan and saw that he was staring intently at the three cages without saying a word, but his hands, which were hanging at his sides, were unconsciously clenched tightly, and something seemed wrong with him.
Tu Kun, standing to the side, immediately lowered his head, his whole body trembling slightly, as if he was enduring something.
Jiang Yimian suddenly realized something. Could those people be Aguzan's subordinates?
Realizing this, she only felt that young master Li Kun was somewhat terrifying.
It's likely that they deliberately used Aguzan's subordinates to attract everyone's attention and lure Aguzan out.
Just as they were worried that Aguzan might impulsively rush out to save the people, Aguzan quickly looked away and calmly said, "Let's go, those people are already dead."
After saying that, he turned around and walked straight out of the crowd.
Jiang Yimian was about to leave when she saw that familiar figure again.
And that person saw her too.
Xue Lingyu was nestled against the man beside her when her gaze suddenly fell upon someone in the crowd. She froze instantly, and then her voice rose involuntarily, "It's her."
Likunge was carefully searching for suspicious figures in the crowd when he heard this. He looked at the person next to him in surprise and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find someone who's not right?"
These days, he would occasionally torture and kill Aguzan's men along this road, trying to lure them out.
But almost a month has passed, and neither that person nor any of Aguzan's other subordinates have shown up.
I don't know whether to say that those people were too ruthless, able to watch their brothers die without being moved, or that those people were not in Ancheng.
Regardless of the reason, he didn't believe it.
Even that heartless bastard Aguzan could turn a blind eye, but his subordinates couldn't.
He must have gone into hiding. In that case, he wouldn't mind continuing to play games with those people.
Anyway, he still has quite a few of Aguzan's old followers in his residence.
He could kill one a day and still have a month to kill; he didn't believe that Aguzan and his men could be so patient.
Xue Lingyu smiled and took the arm of the person beside her, saying gently, "I just saw a familiar person and thought it was an old friend, but I didn't expect I had mistaken him for someone else."
Li Kunge immediately raised an eyebrow. "Someone you know? Yu'er, why don't you bring the person over so I can take a look?"
Xue Lingyu simply shook her head and said in a coquettish tone, "It was my mistake."
Although the body shape is similar, the face is not.
Jiang Yimian ruined her family and nearly landed her in jail. How could she forget that bitch?
If she ever gets the chance to see that person again, she'll make sure that bitch dies a horrible death.
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly noticed a commotion in the crowd not far away.
A figure quickly squeezed through the crowd, heading towards the three large iron cages.
Upon seeing this, Li Kunge immediately stood up, staring intently at the blurry figure, and said with a smile, "Let's go, it's time for us to see the show."
Although Xue Lingyu was somewhat confused, she still smiled and responded, then followed the person beside her off the palanquin.
Jiang Yimian looked at the people who had squeezed into the crowd and were somewhat out of control, and felt a headache coming on.
But Aguzan, standing to the side, remained completely still, showing no intention of stopping them, just like usual. He even had the leisure to laugh and say, "Looks like we're about to be exposed again."
Jiang Yimian felt somewhat helpless, but she could understand Yi Tu's feelings.
Just watching those people who threw down a message telling them to hurry up and then rushed inside on their own still gave me a headache.
Understanding is one thing, but this person's impulsiveness is another.
Unfortunately, there's also an unreliable person here.
Just as she was worrying about what would happen if Yitu got caught, her gaze fell on something not far away, and her eyes instantly lit up.
