Chapter 71 No



What he said was not wrong, so Song Wan did not deny it, "It's me!"

Li Che suddenly burst into laughter, his expression sinister. "It's like searching for something without any effort, but now it's found without any effort! The man I've been waiting for Linyuan Marquis for so long has actually appeared on his own."

Song Wan tilted her head. "Marquis Linyuan? Your old, immortal grandfather?"

Li Che angrily shouted, "Who are you calling immortal?"

Song Wan yelled at him, "Are you hard of hearing? I'm talking to you! The grandson of the old immortal! The little immortal!"

Li Che clenched his fists, making crackling sounds.

Song Qin, who was in the dark, couldn't help but say, "My sister has a way of making people angry to death."

Gu Yan was anxious and didn't say anything, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.

Song Wan went back and forth, irritating the man from head to toe. Finally, she glanced at a certain part of the man, and suddenly thought of something. She raised an eyebrow and said in a firm tone, "You enjoy torturing people so much. Could it be that you are not good at that?"

Li Che was completely enraged and shouted at the people around him, "Kill her for me!"

"Tsk tsk! You must be angry because of shame. It seems that my guess was right!" Song Wan didn't care at all about the guards and killers who were getting closer and closer, and was still very leisurely.

No wonder she scanned the mansion with her spiritual power and found that there was not a single courtyard that looked like a concubine's residence. She remembered that Li Che had married a wife, but she died in less than a year.

I don’t know if his wife is among the corpses in the dry well.

"Kill her for me! Kill her!" Li Che flicked his long sleeves, and the wine glasses and fruit plates shattered to the ground.

The guards and assassins rushed forward with swords drawn, wanting to capture Song Wan.

Song Wan operated the golden whip with one hand, playing with dozens of people like teasing a dog. He used his mental power to transform into the whip, and shook people away, then pulled them back, shook them away again, and pulled them back again.

This process repeats itself, and no one is left behind.

Li Che drew his sword and took advantage of the chaos to stab the rude woman to death, but Song Wan had already sensed it and quickly turned around and wrapped the golden whip around the sword in his hand.

She threw the whole person into the air. The lightness skills here were really useful. Song Wan stepped on the branches of the tree, jumped into the air, and gave Li Che three consecutive kicks from the bottom.

Since it really doesn't work, then just don't do it for the rest of your life.

When the people in the dark of Prince Yu's mansion saw the strange woman bullying their master, they had no choice but to rush out without caring about anything else.

Gu Yan was anxiously waiting for them, the last group of death warriors hiding in the dark in Prince Yu's Mansion.

Song Wan sensed another group of people coming towards him, so he shouted in a certain direction, "I've had enough of these people! You guys keep going! I'm going to play with some new guys!"

Song Qin, who had just recovered his martial arts skills, almost lost his skills and fell off the roof when he heard Song Wan's words. Fortunately, no one saw it.

So he quickly held his breath, used his lightness skills and followed Gu Yan down to deal with the dozens of people left behind by his sister who were already dying.

After quickly getting rid of the few people blocking her way, Gu Yan hurriedly walked to Li Che, who was immobilized by Song Wan and leaning against the corner of the table in a panic.

"Gu Yan is anxious!" Li Che gritted his teeth, "And Song Qin! You saved him! No! You should have died a long time ago!"

"Is it her? She used witchcraft to save you! She is a monster! A devil!" Li Che struggled and wanted to point at Song Wan who was still playing tricks on him!

He had clearly had someone give Gu Yan a deadly poison for which there was no antidote, so how could he still be alive? This was simply impossible!

Gu Yanji smiled coldly, picked up a broken corner of the teacup on the ground, and hit the finger that was intended to point at Song Wan with force, breaking it off directly, leaving a bloody mess.

"How dare you do this to me! Gu Yanji, you're going to regret this!" Li Che gasped, veins bulging in his neck as he tried to crawl towards him. "Do you think you can escape Yuzhou like this?!"

"What you should worry about now is whether you can return to the capital alive." Gu Yan hurriedly stabbed him with the sword, then slowly withdrew. "This sword is to avenge my brother's capture."

Li Che's abdomen was bleeding, and the corners of his mouth were also bleeding. His eyes were wide open and he spoke incoherently, "You! Ugh! How did you know!"

The second sword thrust towards the same spot, "This sword is for the soldiers on the southwest and northwest borders."

The third sword is still in the same position.

The fourth sword, the fifth sword...

The late emperor and Queen Qi, Gu Yan was anxious that Li Che must have been involved in this.

After Song Wan had enough fun, she came over and found that Li Che was almost stabbed into a hole by Gu Yan.

She hurriedly said, "Gu Yanji, didn't you say that people can't be killed for the time being?"

After countless strikes, Gu Yan quickly let go and explained to Song Wan, "I didn't stab him in the vitals, which would only cause him to bleed too much and inflict more pain. I'll have Gu Wu apply some hemostatic medicine to keep him alive for a few more seconds."

The description was quite interesting, and Song Wan said with great interest, "That's good, then you can teach me later."

Gu Yan laughed hastily, "Okay."

Song Wan thought for a moment, then squatted down. She looked at the wounded Li Che intently and said, "I almost forgot to tell you that I've already chopped off the head of your subordinate, Ji Feng, and had him thrown into that dry well. They've already begun to pay for their sins, but you haven't yet."

Li Che finally couldn't resist anymore, and the emotion in his eyes changed from madness to fear.

Gu Yan hurriedly continued, "I believe that it won't be long before an imperial decree comes down from the capital. You murdered your own wife, bullied men and women in Yuzhou, and colluded with the Qiang people to undermine the security of the southwestern border. All of this evidence will be presented one after another. Not only will you be unable to escape, but the Linyuan Marquis' family, your grandfather, and your uncles will also be unable to escape."

An hour later, when it was just getting light, Prince Yu's palace was finally almost completely emptied, leaving only a few boxes of worthless jewels for appearance.

The remaining women in the mansion were driven to a large empty courtyard. Song Wan asked them to move all the food from the kitchen in the mansion there and they were not allowed to leave the courtyard without her permission.

However, Song Wan also promised them that once things here were over, she would let them go and her indentures would be returned to them.

After Song Wan left the yard, the maids and servants in the palace knelt down in unison and kowtowed three times.

The men did not have such good conditions. Regardless of whether they were old or young, ugly or even uglier, they were all tied up and thrown into the dungeon of the palace. Song Wan went down to take a look and saw that the dungeon was filled with human bones.

Let them accompany those bones, that is the result of the evil they have done.

Zhang Sheng and the man who looked like King Yu hurriedly arrived in the early morning. After receiving Gu Yan's urgent letter from the carrier pigeon, they rode all the way from Xinzhou at full speed.

The man who came to pretend to be King Yu was called Zhang Shi. His face was very different from King Yu, but his body shape was very similar. However, he was very skilled in martial arts, to the point where he could make the fake look indistinguishable from the real thing.

Before the decree from the capital arrived, he pretended to be King Yu.

Not long after, in the capital.

One morning at court, an imperial censor who had served under the Prime Minister of Wei in his early years submitted a memorial.

Emperor Li Shi concealed the excitement between his brows and raised his hand to let him speak. He knew this person and he was once a student of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister had already talked to him yesterday.

His younger brother is just not content. Instead of being a prince, he does things that make it difficult to clean up the mess.

The censor impeached King Yu for a series of brutal acts, including killing his principal wife, disregarding the law, bullying men and women in his fiefdom of Yuzhou, and so on.

In addition to the impeachment memorial, the censor also had all the evidence in his hands, and even the red fingerprints pressed by the people of Yuzhou to resist King Yu, which were sent to the capital at full speed.

Li Shi pretended to be surprised and unbelieving. "Is Censor Li mistaken? My second brother has always been mild-tempered and would never do what you describe."

Censor Li knelt down and said, "Every word I have said is true. This was personally stated by the brother of the Xiangzhou prefect, who happened to save several women who were being bullied by the guards of Prince Yu's palace while passing through Yuzhou. The Xiangzhou prefect has also verified this."

On the surface, the prefect of Xiangzhou was supported by Li Shi and was completely loyal to him.

So when Wei Xuezhi told Li Shi about this yesterday, he didn't doubt it at all.

Marquis Linyuan was not in the court today. Yesterday, he was sent to Jingzhou by Li Shi to sort out the security issues in the border city, and his two sons were also sent away by him on other unfounded matters.

Li Shi was planning to take down Li Che in one fell swoop while he was away, but by the time he realized it, it was already too late.

It was precisely because Marquis Linyuan took leave and did not attend court that the officials who usually supported King Yu hesitated when faced with dozens of pieces of evidence and ultimately chose to remain silent.

Anyway, they have not yet made a final decision. They only occasionally lend a helping hand behind Linyuan Hou, without showing much substantive sign of taking sides. The best strategy now is to exit in time and stop the loss.

Li Shi looked at the ministers who always spoke well of Li Che and felt like they wanted to shrink like a turtle, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Wei Xuezhi walked out, stood in front of Li Yushi, and bent down to pick up his luggage.

Li Shi feigned surprise, "Master Prime Minister, what do you want to say?"

Wei Xuezhi said, "I think we should first send a general and civil officials to Yuzhou to conduct a thorough interrogation. We must not wrongly accuse King Yu and damage the harmony among the royal brothers."

"Let's do as the Prime Minister says." Li Shi said with inner satisfaction, "Then who does the Prime Minister think is the most suitable person to send?"

Wei Xuezhi lowered his eyes slightly and mentioned the two people he thought were most suitable. "In my opinion, why not have Lord Li and General Peng go together?"

Li Shi's eyes flashed. The two people chosen by Wei Xuezhi were both extremely upright people in the court. As long as his younger brother really committed one of the crimes listed just now, these two people would not let him go.

After Li Shi finished analyzing it in his mind, his dissatisfaction with not having full control over these two things also dissipated.

That's good, as it would further demonstrate that he had no intention of targeting King Yu. He wanted to let all the people in the world know that he was the most suitable candidate to be the emperor.

Not long after, the two chosen gentlemen traveled light and with a small entourage from the capital to Yuzhou.

At the same time, Yuzhou Yuwang Mansion gradually returned to normal after that night.

The people from all walks of life in Yuzhou felt this most directly, because they found that the people in Prince Yu's Palace seemed to no longer arrest people.

Song Wan still lived in the inn. She thought the palace was too dirty. During this period, she asked Song Qi to take people to search the palace from top to bottom, and found thousands of corpses in total.

Song Qi believed that he had killed many people and had seen blood and flesh flying on the battlefield, but he was still disgusted by the thousands of corpses and his face turned pale.

It would be a pity if King Yu died a thousand times. No wonder the eldest lady said that the place was filled with yin energy when they first arrived at King Yu's mansion.

Before the two adults arrived, Song Qi and the other two finally cremated and buried the thousand corpses. They specially chose a place next to a mountain forest with good feng shui and scenery, and also found monks to help them to pray for their souls so that they could rest in peace in their reincarnation.
