Chapter 77 Capital 8
◎I beat her to death? ◎
Everyone in the room gasped. King Jing looked at Xiao Tao suspiciously, "How do you prove it?"
Yan Yue found the two guards who had gone to report the news in the crowd and said, "They heard it. She admitted it herself!"
Facing King Jing's question, the two looked up woodenly and replied woodenly: "I don't know. The Heavenly Master asked us to call someone and tell them that she is a demon."
Yan Yue looked at Xiao Tao's eyes rolling in circles again and fell silent: I was careless, she can perform illusions.
Princess Changning took advantage of her speechlessness and said, "Father, she told her daughter herself that she has never learned the orthodox Buddhism or Taoism, and she doesn't know how to set up formations or tell fortunes, let alone Feng Shui or rituals!"
This is indeed the truth, and Yan Yue has no way to defend himself.
King Jing was filled with anger at being deceived, and Chang Ning was still adding fuel to the fire: "In order to ease your father's mind, your daughter was willing to be deceived by her. But she actually tried to take human lives lightly and randomly dragged people to take the blame. Your daughter really can't stand it anymore..."
"Shut up!" Yan Yue was very angry and warned King Jing sternly: "If you don't believe me, Princess Jing will definitely die!"
When the King of Jing's wife was mentioned, King Jing hesitated, "What do you mean by that?"
Yan Yue explained: "I have the Yin-Yang Eyes, which allow me to see things that ordinary people cannot see. Princess Jing was haunted by a ghost, and I deliberately spread the news that could drive away the evil spirits, just to attract the murderer..."
"You are lying, and you dare to curse my mother!" Chang Ning interrupted Yan Yue and said to King Jing, "Father, I have investigated clearly. This girl is called Yan Yue. She is just the adopted daughter of a farmer. She ran away from home to escape marriage and became a charlatan. She claims to be able to communicate with ghosts and gods and ward off evil spirits, and she is swindling people everywhere!"
Everyone in the room was stunned, even Yan Yue was stunned. How did she know?
"My daughter has a witness!" Chang Ning struck while the iron was hot and ordered the people around him: "Quick, go and get Secretary Yan!"
Yan Yue never thought that the occasion when she met Yan Liang again would be like this.
He anxiously advised: "Yueyue, it's all my fault. I failed to protect you, causing you to suffer and do this kind of deceptive thing..."
Yan Yue was at a loss for a moment, then asked blankly, "Second brother, you don't believe me?"
Yan Liang stared at her stubborn face, sighed helplessly, and knelt down in front of King Jing with a "bang": "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"My humble sister was not happy with the marriage arranged by her parents. She left home last year and disappeared. I searched everywhere for her. I unexpectedly ran into her outside the palace the day before yesterday. My sister was not favored at home and lacked love since she was young. That's why she did such a foolish thing. I beg Your Majesty to forgive her because she didn't cause any disaster!"
Yan Liang kowtowed three times to King Jing and pleaded earnestly: "If Your Majesty blames me, I am willing to bear all the punishment on my behalf. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
He was so sincere and heartfelt that even King Jing was moved: "Forget it, you get up first!"
But Yan Yue felt very uncomfortable, with an indescribable feeling pent up in her heart, and she was about to explode!
"I'm not lying!"
Yan Liang quickly stood up and grabbed Yan Yue, bowing to King Jing repeatedly: "Your Majesty, forgive me! I will definitely discipline her and never let her mess around again!"
Yan Yue waved her hand to break free from Yan Liang and said angrily, "I'm not messing around!"
While the two were arguing, someone whispered something in King Jing's ear. King Jing relaxed and said, "The Immortal Master of Qingxu Temple has arrived. Little girl, if you still refuse to change your ways, don't blame me for severely punishing you!"
Yan Yue said angrily: "Even if the king of heaven came, I would not lie!"
Yan Liang advised earnestly: "Yueyue, brother knows that you hate father and mother. Brother cannot forgive them either, so he did not bring them to Kyoto. Come home with brother, okay? Brother promises that this is a home for only brother and you..."
"Don't leave!"
Yan Yue suddenly saw Xiao Tao trying to quietly move the evil ghost rope, and swung the whip without hesitation!
Unexpectedly, Changning actually hugged Xiaotao and took the blow for her. What surprised everyone even more was that Chang Ning fell to the ground with a thud without even a scream when he was hit by the whip!
…………
The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Yan Yue was completely dumbfounded when she saw Changning’s soul leaving his body: Master Qingtang! Did I beat her to death with a whip?
Changning looked at his hands in astonishment, then at his own "corpse", and then looked at Yan Yue with a confused face.
Yan Liang’s expression was completely devastated: It’s completely over now!
King Jing suddenly coughed violently, pointed at Yan Yue with a red face, stamped his feet and roared: "Catch this charlatan for me!"
The palace guards drew their swords instantly.
"Wait, wait..."
Yan Yue rushed over, grabbed Changning's body, and while backing away, he probed in front of Changning's nose. And breathe!
King Jing screamed in horror: "You, you, you, cough, cough, what are you going to do to my daughter!"
Yan Yue turned her back to the wall, put her hands on Chang Ning's neck and said, "Don't move! She's still alive! If you dare to come over, I'll strangle her to death!"
King Jing said quickly: "Okay, we won't move! Don't hurt Changning!"
Yan Yue was also completely at a loss for words, and hurriedly said to Chang Ning: "Chang Ning, look, I didn't lie to you! If you insist on doing what you want, those two evil ghosts and that fierce ghost will be your fate!"
Chang Ning saw several ghosts tied up with ropes, and finally showed fear on his face. He asked tremblingly: "I, I, am dead?"
Yan Yue said: "Not yet, the body is still breathing..."
Qi Zhaoyang followed Butler Cao and ran in hurriedly. He was shocked by the scene before him!
A young man collapsed and yelled at her, "Yueyue! Stop being stubborn and let the princess go!"
“Second brother!”
Yan Yue frowned, feeling helpless: "I won't go home with you."
"They took me home and gave me a chance to live. They raised me for more than ten years, and I worked hard to grow crops, do farm work, and do housework in return. In the end, they arranged a ghost marriage for me for money and took back the life they gave me."
"I don't blame them. But from the moment I was put into the coffin, the Yan family and I no longer owed each other anything."
A rustling sound suddenly arose.
When I heard Yan Liang say this before, I thought this adopted daughter was an ungrateful person who ran away from home to escape marriage and was disowned by her parents.
So this is the truth?
Yan Liang was ashamed and distressed, and said with red eyes: "Brother knows that you have been wronged. When I returned to my hometown and learned about this, I immediately had the grave dug up and the coffin opened. I thought that even if I had to sacrifice my fame, I would never let you be buried with someone I hate! But, you are not in the coffin..."
"Yueyue, you must believe in your brother. I will never let you be bullied again after marriage! Not even by your parents or your elder brother!"
Yan Yue said calmly: "Second brother, I know you are good to me."
"When my eldest brother bullied me, I cried and complained to my parents, but my mother slapped me and scolded me for being shameless and seducing my eldest brother. It was you, the second brother, who had a fierce fight with my eldest brother and knocked out all his teeth."
"But second brother, you knocked out the eldest brother's teeth, but my parents only scolded you a few words, but they believed that I was the scourge that caused discord between you brothers, and threw me alone into the woodshed in the backyard, where I was locked up for six years."
The sighing sounded again.
Yan Yue said calmly under the sympathetic gazes of the crowd, "So, second brother, no matter how good you are to me, you are not me. You can't take my place in what I should bear."
She glanced at King Jing, Changning, and everyone else in the room, and finally returned to Yan Liang: "Because I died once, I accidentally gained the ability to see ghosts and spirits. I can't tell whether it's a blessing or a curse, but now I can support myself and live well in this world. You may not believe what I say, but -"
Yan Yue raised her arm and pointed: "He can testify for me!"
Qi Zhaoyang, who was pointed out, walked to the center of the field, bowed to King Jing, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, I am Qi Zhaoyang from Qingxu Temple. I am willing to guarantee her with my own life."
The place was filled with the sound of people gasping for air. The head of the heir of Qingxu Temple was on his head. This was a huge guarantee!
King Jing's expression eased a little, but his tone was still unhappy: "If so, release my son Changning first."
Qi Zhaoyang looked back at Yan Yue and asked with his eyes: What is going on?
Yan Yue pointed at Chang Ning's soul awkwardly: "The soul is there! I don't know what's going on..."
Qi Zhaoyang was shocked: "She... huh?"
Yan Yue understood the omitted two sounds in a second and quickly shook her hands: "Not dead, not dead, still breathing!"
"The soul leaves the body?" Qi Zhaoyang was shocked again, "How did you do it?"
Yan Yue glanced at the whip in her hand and said, "I just accidentally whipped him..." She raised the whip again tentatively and said hesitantly, "How about... I whip Hun'er again and try?"
Before Qi Zhaoyang could stop it, the evil ghost tied up with ropes suddenly screamed, leaped forward, and stood in front of Changning.
Xiao Tao moved the rope in her hand suddenly, and seeing the ghost fog going towards Changning, she shouted, "Changning! Come back!" Then her five fingers turned into sharp claws, and she instantly rushed towards the evil ghost fog!
King Jing was stunned, and everyone in the room was terrified. They finally realized that what Yan Yue said was true!
How could a human have Xiaotao's curved and sharp claws?
She is really a monster!
Qi Zhaoyang was surprised and asked, "Why is there another demon?"
The evil ghost itself was not weak, but the rope restricted most of its movements and it could only dodge left and right.
Huh? Why the sudden internal strife?
Yan Yue clapped his palms lightly with the whip, thinking silently in his heart: Tsk, who should I help? A weak voice called out to my ear: "Girl..."
"Zhou Lin?" Yan Yue was startled and looked around: "Where are you?"
There were four tied ghosts, the weakest one was curled up on the ground, his tattered clothes curled up into a heap. At this moment, the ghost raised his toes and signaled: "I'm here..."
Qi Zhaoyang was also very shocked. He knew that Yan Yue could not get close to Zhou Lin, so he hid from Li Gui and Xiao Tao, grabbed the rope and pulled Zhou Lin over.
Yan Yue saw how light and graceful he was, and exclaimed, "You are quite powerful!"
"He has no weight, he just holds a rope."
Qi Zhaoyang put Zhou Lin on the ground and reached out to untie the rope. Only then did Yan Yue see Zhou Lin's miserable condition.
He was covered in wounds and his face was stained with blood. He was clearly still wearing the same clothes he had worn the night he disappeared, but they were torn into rags and covered in dirt, and his original color was no longer recognizable. It was no wonder that Yan Yue failed to recognize him the first time.
Seeing him so miserable, Yan Yue instantly became angry: "Who dares to hurt you like this?! Changning or Xiaotao!"
Zhou Lin said aggrievedly: "It's the evil ghost and the evil ghost..."
Yan Yue picked up the whip and was about to start a fight, but Zhou Lin quickly said, "Don't, they are also being held here by the fox demon, and they are often confused..."
"If they are insane, just beat them until they are sane!"
Yan Yue was furious and was about to leave, but when she heard Zhou Lin's next words, she stopped dead in her tracks.
"That evil spirit is Princess Changning's biological mother!"
