Chapter 112 Shocked
In an ordinary house in the east of the city, Yan Wujiu was covered in blood, and his junior brother Yang Wuhui hurried forward to support him.
"Brother! How could you be so seriously injured?"
Yan Wujiu was extremely embarrassed at this moment, but he grabbed his junior brother's arm tightly and asked, "Did you encounter a warrior in the Divine Martial Realm?"
"yes."
Yang Wuhui immediately recounted what happened in front of the county government office. If the other party had not been concerned about the safety of the Sixth Princess, he might not have been able to escape.
Yan Wujiu's face turned pale. He had made this deduction many times before, but the result was always the same.
With his cultivation level at the third level, how could he have missed something when calculating the influence of a powerful person in the Divine Martial Realm on the changing situation?
At least there was a sorcerer of the same level who was hiding the secret behind the scenes. He couldn't think of any other possibility.
Yan Wujiu was startled and his skin felt like it was being pricked by needles.
Now that he was seriously injured, his power was greatly reduced. If the other party recovered and deduced their location...
"We must leave Longmen County immediately."
"Senior Brother?"
"Wait a minute!" The third person in the room was the middle-aged man who was under the thatched cottage before.
"What happened? Did Master Yan's plan fail?
Please explain it now, otherwise how can I explain it to you, my Lord?"
The shout was resounding because he was already filled with resentment.
This time the mission is to disrupt the eldest princess's flood control and disaster relief efforts and arouse public resentment.
However, Yan Wujiu was bold and reckless and planned to assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess, intending to get rid of her once and for all.
On the one hand, he had no choice, and on the other hand, he privately felt that if he could get rid of this person, the position of crown prince would be a sure thing.
The huge achievement was right in front of him, but in the end he just accepted it.
But what was going on now? Yan Wujiu was covered in blood, his face gloomy. Had the assassination attempt failed?
The next moment, his pupils suddenly dilated.
The embarrassed figure flashed in front of him in an instant and pointed a finger at the center of his eyebrows.
"you……"
The pupils quickly turned scarlet, so intense that it even obscured the black color of the pupils.
Before he could utter another word, the body fell to the ground with a thud.
"Quick, start leaving."
After the fight, Yan Wujiu's face became even uglier, and all the blood color faded away.
Yang Wuhui hurriedly helped his senior brother take off his clothes and applied medicine and bandages hastily, but the blood still couldn't stop oozing out.
"Don't worry about it."
The golden thread of Yinzhe is not just a matter of lethality. The sharp "momentum" contained in it cannot be eliminated in a short time.
Yang Wuhui reached out and wiped his face, replacing it with the appearance of an ordinary citizen in his thirties.
A carriage quietly left and headed straight for the east city gate.
Yan Wujiu lay on the cushion, his face pale.
There were twenty-one wounds all over his body, including many puncture wounds. How long had it been since he suffered such a serious injury?
However, he had seen clearly before that the dagger had indeed pierced the eldest princess's body, and her injuries were much more serious than his.
If I could just die right then and there, that would be the best. But if a third-grade sorcerer could really save me...
Oh, if the princess is unable to take charge of disaster relief matters, who else can she rely on?
Is it the absurd Sixth Princess or the weak Fifth Prince?
Besides, a warlock always plans three steps ahead, and the layout is not over yet...
Half an hour later, the flood had spread to Longmen County.
It was only ankle-high for the time being, but the people were in a panic and flocked to the county government office.
Now the county magistrate, county magistrate and county lieutenant are all gone, there are only some yamen runners and minor clerks, and the chief clerk is the highest official.
He stood in the lobby of the county government office, with yamen runners holding water and fire sticks behind him. Looking at the endless crowd in front of him, he couldn't stop trembling.
"Everyone, rest assured, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Magistrate Lu have already gone to the disaster relief department, and I think we'll get the news soon.
Everyone calm down, wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."
The people complained bitterly.
"The weather was fine before, why did it start raining heavily as soon as the imperial envoy arrived..."
"That's right, Yuchuan hasn't had any trouble in years, so it's okay if he doesn't come."
"And you're feeding us bran, bah!"
…
Complaints are everywhere, and the situation is getting very tense.
The chief clerk broke out in a cold sweat and kept wiping his forehead.
How could you say such outrageous words? Are you crazy?
But no matter how he tried to comfort them, they just kept saying "calm down" and "wait for news", and the crowd became more and more impatient.
At this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves rang out.
More than thirty riders came galloping over, but many of them were two people on each horse.
There was no other way, these were all the war horses that we had gathered along the way with great difficulty.
Deputy General Hu did not dare to delay for a moment. After tying the first raft, he led fifty soldiers to the county government office.
The Sixth Princess only gave four hours, and excluding the travel time, time was very tight.
Fifty soldiers dismounted and rushed forward. The people did not dare to act rashly and made way for them.
Deputy General Hu strode over with a murderous aura. "Who are you?"
"I am the Chief Clerk of Longmen County."
"The Huilongtan dike has collapsed. I'll give you one hour to gather ten thousand young men and women.
Order all sandbags and stone bags in reserve to be mobilized for disaster relief."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd became noisy.
Everyone had already guessed it, but they were still shocked when they heard the news of the dam collapse.
It has only been raining heavily for a short time, and it was sunny for a day before that. How come the dam collapsed?
One hour! The chief clerk was startled, thinking that the situation was extremely critical. "Quick, get the household registration book and urgently summon the laborers!"
"Why didn't the dam collapse earlier or later, but at this very moment..."
"Perhaps it was because he angered He Bo, who stopped worshipping him for fourteen years..."
"Why is it not limited to men and women? Why do women have to do labor?"
There was some commotion among the people, but the noise was very low, not as great as when they were questioning the chief clerk before.
Deputy General Hu was a sixth-rank warrior with sharp ears and eyes, and he accurately caught these whispered complaints.
He turned to face the people, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's. "Why did the dam collapse? Let me tell you why!"
The sound was wrapped in true energy and spread far away. At this moment, everyone held their breath and did not dare to act rashly.
"The breach in the Huilongtan River embankment was filled with reeds mixed with clay. I want to ask, when did reeds appear in the cement used to build the embankment?"
The fact that the eldest princess was seriously injured could not be mentioned, especially since the person who did it was the Longmen County Magistrate. In order to avoid inciting a riot, Lieutenant General Hu chose this reason.
The common people were frightened by his aura for a moment, and the chief clerk behind him retreated repeatedly and almost fell down, his face looking as if he had lost his parents.
"How could this happen...how could this happen..."
Once the charge of corruption is brought down, no one in the county government, from top to bottom, can escape.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Hu strode into the crowd.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Soon, two people were forcibly dragged out from the crowd of people. They were the ones who had whispered and spread rumors before.
With a swish, Deputy General Hu drew his sword and slowly swept his gaze across the faces of the people. "Those spreading rumors and misleading the people shall be executed."
The next moment, a cold light flashed and the head fell to the ground!
