Chapter 267 Zuo Shanzhang Don’t Think of Returning to Dajin Alive
In the City Lord's Mansion, the moment Li Suining was captured, Qingyun wanted to chase him.
"Qingyun!" Bai Yu'an called out to him in a low voice, "Don't go!"
"What's going on?" Qingyun looked anxious and puzzled. "Isn't Bai Kou...one of ours? Why did she take Xiao Suining away?"
Hai Jiao came back to her senses and blamed herself, "It's all my fault. When she rushed over just now, I wasn't prepared. I didn't think... I would chase her."
"Miss Hai Jiao!" Bai Yu'an also called Hai Jiao and shook his head gently, "No need, it's okay, this is... my sister's idea."
Qingyun and Haijiao looked at each other in confusion, but soon they understood.
Little Tuanzi said she wanted to save Sixth Brother and help him recognize the little princess, so she deliberately went to Huo Linger, but...
The two of them said almost in unison, "Isn't this too dangerous?"
"This..." Bai Yu'an actually felt it was dangerous, but his sister insisted and said that she had asked Xingxing, so he chose to believe her.
"I believe my sister can protect herself." He nodded at the two of them.
Wang Yuanshu listened to the conversation and suddenly realized, "You want to murder the princess?"
He immediately looked at Yun Tiankuo and said flatteringly, "My Lord City Lord, Huo Ling'er is the most noble princess of your Northern Barbarians. They are trying to murder the princess. Won't you kill them?"
"Tian Kuo," Hai Jiao shook her head, "Little Dumpling will not hurt the princess."
Yun Tiankuo nodded. "I know, she's just a three or four-year-old. Even if she wants to do something bad, what can she do?"
He pointed the broadsword at Wang Yuanshu again. "It's you, the wicked one! How many evil things have you done since arriving in Dongyi City? Wang Yuanshu, have you decided how you're going to die?"
"My Lord City Lord, please understand," Wang Yuanshu knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "What I did..."
He suddenly raised his head and pointed at Bai Yu'an, "Bai Yunfeng asked me to do this. They are the culprits who destroyed Dongyi City."
"Wang Yuanshu, things have come to this, and you still want to quibble?" Yun Tiankuo sneered, "Alright, today, I'll make you die knowingly!"
He turned to look at Bai Yu'an, "You said before that those who harmed the people of Dongyi City were not from the Bai Family Army. I have ordered people to secretly investigate. Indeed, after Bai Yunfeng took over Dongyi City, he took the Bai Family Army away. All of this was done by Wang Yuanshu!"
"That's not the case, that's not the case." Wang Yuanshu burst into tears in fear. "Lord City Lord, please spare my life. The things I stole are all in my yard. I'll return them to you. Please spare my life!"
"Dream on!" Yun Tiankuo snorted. There was no way he would let Wang Yuanshu go, not for Ruru, the city lord's wife, or the people of the entire city.
Wang Yuanshu must die!
"Wang Yuanshu, do you regret it?" Bai Yu'an said slowly, "You did all this for Zuo Shanzhang, and now you're dead, while he's still enjoying himself in the Northern Barbarian Palace. Do you think you're stupid?"
"Yes, Zuo Shanzhang! This was all Zuo Shanzhang's idea!" Wang Yuanshu saw that Qiu Yuntiankuo had no hope, so he knelt and crawled towards Bai Yu'an, "Second Young Master, please keep me. I'm still useful. I can go back to Dajin with you and expose all of Zuo Shanzhang's evil deeds!"
"That's a nice thought, but there's no need for that." In fact, everything Bai Yu'an just said was just his guess, and it seems that his guess was correct.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the capital of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. Since Zuo Shanzhang had not left yet, he... had no chance of returning to the Great Jin alive.
He finally looked at Yun Tiankuo, "City Lord Yun, I'll leave this Wang Yuanshu to you!"
Yun Tiankuo was slightly surprised. He had thought Bai Yu'an would really want to take Wang Yuanshu back with him. That was fine. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Yu'an, for your help."
"Come here! Take Wang Yuanshu to the prison in the city lord's mansion and execute him in the street at noon tomorrow!" He wanted to give an explanation to the people of Dongyi City.
"No, no..." Wang Yuanshu screamed as he was dragged away.
"Second Young Master, please spare us, City Lord Yun, please spare us!" Seeing this, all of Wang Yuanshu's subordinates knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Second Young Master, City Lord Yun, we were all forced by Wang Yuanshu, please spare our lives!" They cried bitterly, each of them full of regret.
Yun Tiankuo frowned and looked at Bai Yu'an, "Brother Yu'an, what do you think?"
"Let City Lord Yun handle these people as well." Bai Yu'an had obviously thought this through long ago. "If City Lord Yun feels they are still useful, then they can stay and help you build Dongyi City. If he feels their crimes are unforgivable... then... just deal with them according to the law."
He looked at the Jin soldiers he had brought with him, "And these people of mine, they will also stay in Dongyi City to help the city lord rebuild Dongyi City. I just hope that after Dongyi City is built, the city lord will not make things difficult for them and let them go home, otherwise..."
Bai Yu'an's eyes showed a hint of warning. "In the future, I will definitely bring the Bai family army back to seek justice for them."
"Brother Yu'an," Yun Tiankuo naturally didn't want to kill so many people. He was in great need of help right now, and Bai Yu'an was willing to give him so many helpers. He was very grateful and surprised. "You mean... you want to leave?"
"Yes." Bai Yu'an nodded. "After Huo Ling'er captured my sister, she should return to the capital, so I have to go to the capital too."
"But..." Yun Tiankuo couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aren't you afraid that I can take back Dongyi City from these people of yours?"
Bai Yu'an curled his lips and said, "City Lord Yun, after all, whether Dongyi City belongs to Dajin or Beiman is not up to you and me. If City Lord Yun really wants to return to Dongyi City, then after rebuilding it, you should also go to the capital. I look forward to seeing you again in the capital."
"Mu Sheng!" He shouted to a soldier-looking man beside him.
"Second Young Master!" This person is the person in charge of the Feiyun Sect stronghold.
Bai Yu'an continued to speak to Yun Tiankuo, "If City Lord Yun no longer wishes to be the City Lord, you can temporarily hand over Dongyi City to this person. I've already sent a letter to the Great Jin Imperial City about Wang Yuanshu's situation. I believe that the Great Jin will soon send someone to take over. After that, it's your business."
Yun Tiankuo was silent for a long time before he clasped his fists again and said, "Thank you again, Brother Yu'an. I think... we will see each other again in the capital!"
"Okay!" Bai Yu'an looked at Qingyun, "Pack up, we'll be leaving soon."
"Okay, Second Young Master." Qingyun immediately went back to pack his things.
"Brother Yu'an, there is one more thing I would like to ask you for help with." Yun Tiankuo said a little embarrassedly.
Bai Yu'an motioned for him to continue.
"Say thank you and sorry to that Tuanzi for me." Yun Tiankuo's face was full of guilt.
Bai Yu'an smiled and said, "There's no need to apologize. As for thanking her, if City Lord Yun really wants to thank her, why not tell her in person?"
