Chapter 202 Cao Liang Betrays the Emperor
Cao Liang looked at Ye Chutang with a bright smile, turned his stiff neck and shook his head.
"impossible!"
He is the planner, not a player in the game!
Ye Chutang looked at Cao Liang, who was unwilling to believe the truth, and shouted into the yard.
"A Zhou, our plan to defeat the enemy has worked, come out now."
Hearing this, Cao Liang immediately looked towards the gate of Qingya Courtyard.
Soon, Qi Yanzhou, who should have fainted from the poison, walked out of the yard.
He had a ruddy complexion and looked very dignified, and it seemed as if he had not been poisoned at all.
"Master Cao is surprised?"
Cao Liang stared blankly at Qi Yanzhou who was gradually approaching, his eyes filled with fear.
In order to make the "body substitute plan" more realistic, most of the officials in the prefectural government went to chase "Qi Yanzhou".
Even if he called all his men over, he couldn't turn defeat into victory!
He turned his head to look at Ye Chutang and asked, "Are you going to die?"
The emperor holds her life in his hands, how dare she betray him!
Ye Chutang kicked Cao Liang in the knee.
Cao Liang fell to his knees with a thud.
Ye Chutang looked down at the embarrassed Cao Liang, with the corners of his mouth raised in a sarcastic smile.
"Lord Cao has too little confidence in my medical skills."
"You have never been controlled by the emperor?"
"Of course, my fate is in my own hands, what is a dog emperor!"
Cao Liang looked at Ye Chutang who humiliated the emperor and slumped to the ground with a deathly pale face.
"How did you know my plan?"
The smile on Ye Chutang's lips grew wider.
"Your brain is only slightly better than a pig's. How difficult can it be to guess your plan?"
The humiliating words did not elicit much reaction from Cao Liang.
"You told me so much, but you don't intend to let me live, right?"
"The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn. I am doing this for your own good."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Yanzhou's sword was placed across Cao Liang's neck.
He looked at the guards of the prefectural government who were still fighting with the National Protection Army, and his words were as cold as ice.
"Stop it!"
Cao Liang didn't say anything, so the guards naturally wouldn't stop.
Qi Yanzhou pressed the blood-stained sword down.
There was a cut on Cao Liang's neck and blood was flowing out.
The sword was poisoned, and the blood that flowed out quickly turned black, and his face turned blue.
But he was tough and didn't say anything.
Soon, he was cold and shaky.
The guards of the prefecture were distracted by Cao Liang's injury, and two of them died in the blink of an eye.
They knew that they could not defeat the National Protection Army, and that resistance would only result in more deaths, so they threw down their weapons and surrendered.
Cao Liang listened to the clanging sounds, closed his eyes and waited for death.
But his hands hanging by his side trembled.
Qi Yanzhou sensed Cao Liang's fear and reminded him, "Master Cao, the poison on this sword is what you used to kill me."
These words turned into a big hand, strangling Cao Liang's throat, making him feel the threat of death.
His survival instinct made him shout.
"Doctor Zhu!"
The poison was prepared by Doctor Zhu, and he has the antidote!
Doctor Zhu was in the front yard and could not hear Cao Liang's faint cry for help.
Seeing that Cao Liang was emotionally agitated, Ye Chutang was worried that the poison would enter his heart meridians and kill him, so he immediately sealed several of his acupoints with silver needles.
This dog official is still useful and cannot die for the time being.
She twisted the silver needle in her hand and pushed it deeper, causing Cao Liang to let out an ear-piercing scream in pain.
“Let go…let go!”
Ye Chutang looked at Cao Liang, whose facial features were distorted by pain, and asked, "Where is the secret order?"
As long as the Qi family leaves Liangzhou City alive, the dog emperor will know that she and Han Chong have rebelled.
A falling out is inevitable.
So she had to get the handle, take the initiative, and expose the dog emperor's shamelessness to the public!
Cao Liang felt like there was a wooden stick stirring inside his chest, and his tendons and veins were being pulled. The pain made him tremble all over and sweat profusely.
He shook his head with difficulty, "There is no secret order."
If you betray the emperor, your entire clan will be executed. Killing him alone is enough!
Seeing that Cao Liang was being stubborn, Qi Yanzhou swung the sword in his hand and cut off one of his fingers.
"Will you tell me?"
Cao Liang fainted from the pain.
Ye Chutang pricked his painful acupoint with a silver needle, and he woke up immediately.
Because he held on tightly and refused to let go, his finger was cut off again and he fainted from the pain.
Then I kept tossing and turning between fainting from the pain and waking up from the pain.
Qi Yanzhou looked at Cao Liang's bare hands, and his thin lips curled up in a bloodthirsty arc.
"If you betray the emperor, your entire clan will be executed. If you disobey me, your entire family will be exterminated. What do you choose?"
Cao Liang felt that life was worse than death and his consciousness was disintegrating.
But since it concerned the life and death of his family, he immediately regained consciousness.
The scarlet eyes stared at Qi Yanzhou.
"You can't do that!"
He said the fierce words without any confidence, hiding a humble plea.
"You want to kill my whole family, I'll fight back, it's only fair."
"It's my fault. It doesn't affect my family."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Ye Chutang pointed the tip of the silver needle at Cao Liang's eyes.
"That's really nice to hear. Say it again."
Cao Liang blinked in fright, his eyelids scratched by the needle tip, and the creepy friction made him tremble all over.
A gentle voice mixed with vicious words fell into his ears.
"We are never kind to our enemies. Since you care about your family, just start with them."
Ye Chutang pricked several acupuncture points around Cao Liang's eyes, causing him to open his eyes uncontrollably.
"I want you to watch the Cao family being wiped out."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and said to Qi Yanzhou, "Have your people capture the entire Cao family."
Qi Yanzhou knew that Ye Chutang was just forcing Cao Liang to speak, so he nodded.
"Okay, I'll get someone to do it right away."
When Cao Liang was hesitating whether to compromise, Han Chong came.
In one hand he held his half-year-old grandson, and in the other he held the head of his only son.
The summer breeze brought the smell of blood and the faint cry of a child.
Rolling.
The head with disheveled hair and eyes open rolled to Cao Liang's side.
He wailed in agony, "Wind, my wind!"
As he said this, he tried to hold up the head, but found that he had no fingers, and his son's face was covered in blood.
He cried like he was breaking down, expressing his grief at the loss of his beloved son vividly.
But no one present was moved.
Ye Chutang quietly turned his back, not wanting the child to see the bloody scene.
Qi Yanzhou took the child from Han Chong's hands and placed him next to Cao Liang.
"If you don't speak up, this child will be the next to die."
Cao Liang quickly lay on the ground and held his grandson in his arms.
His heart broke as he listened to his grandson's hoarse cry.
"Beasts! You are all beasts!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Only when a knife pierces your body will you feel the pain. This is human nature!"
Han Chong echoed, "Master Cao, family is a weak link to everyone. Whoever touches it will die. Now Master Qi is giving you a chance to live. Do you want it or not?"
If he wants, he must hand over the emperor's secret decree and betray the emperor.
Otherwise, your whole family will be wiped out!
Cao Liang spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His voice was weak and weak. "It makes no difference if you die early or late!"
Qi Yanzhou corrected him, "There is a difference. If you die early, you can watch your entire family die. If you die late, you can leave behind descendants."
A baby in swaddling clothes will not have any memories, so there is no need to worry about the consequences of not removing the root of the problem.
Cao Liang looked at his grandson in front of him with a kind face.
"The secret note is on the seam of the first book on the first shelf in the study."
