Chapter 330: Persecution
After staying for one night, Li Yuan got up early in the morning and left Xiao Mansion to go to the Holy Land, without a trace of stopping, there was always a voice in his heart urging him, as if something was going to happen, so that he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Li Yuan himself hid in the Holy Land, because the turmoil he caused had just spread. Yang Yue didn't directly save people, on the one hand, his feelings for Yang Juntao were not very deep, so he was not in such a hurry. On the other hand, he knew that he could only eat deflated in the end if he forcibly saved people so forcefully, so it was better to think of a way slowly.
Regarding the blow to Li Yuan's prestige caused by the previous rumors, Yang Yue said that it was very successful, so he decided to return this trick. Soon it was rumored in the gathering place that Li Yuan was dissatisfied with other people's remarks and retaliated, but Yang Juntao was directly arrested by the Xiao family on the following charges.
This caused an uproar in the entire gathering place, and those big families who knew about it all kept their mouths shut, this was a confrontation between the Yang Xiao family, and they didn't want to get involved.
Soon, under the instigation of well-intentioned people, a large group of people gathered at the door of the council hall and asked the guards to release Yang Juntao.
Zhou Xiong looked at the crowd outside with a pale face, he had obviously given the Yang family a step down, and they did not add their names to the rumors this time, but now the pressure was completely on themselves.
He knew what the Yang family meant, and this was forcing him to take sides. If he continues to hesitate, Zhou Xiong believes that there will soon be rumors that he and the Xiao family have colluded to frame Yang Juntao.
"It's too much of a bully, can you really think that I'm a soft persimmon and pinch it as much as you want?" Zhou Xiong was completely explosive, although Li Yuan was also persecuting him before, but it was within his authority, and it was his responsibility.
Zhou Xiongjue's self had already given the Yang family a lot of face, and he did not agree to Li Yuan's opinion of severe punishment, but the Yang family was forcing himself to charge on the front line of confrontation with the Xiao family, which he could not tolerate.
"Give me a notice, this is the council chamber, the crowd must disperse at once, and if there is any trouble here in a quarter of an hour, then take it directly. A cold light flashed in Zhou Xiong's eyes, since he wanted to play, he would play big.
"Aren't your Yang family trying to manipulate public opinion? Then I'll see if you can control these public opinions after the truth is revealed?" Zhou Xiong was secretly ruthless in his heart, not knowing what he was thinking.
Soon the guards who summoned the arraignment quickly walked in, their faces were very unsightly, and as soon as they came in, they hurriedly said: "Your Excellency has an accident, the guards sent to the front line have lost contact, we sent people to check along the way and found the bodies of several guards, as for the prisoners, they disappeared." ”
The corners of Zhou Xiong's mouth hooked up a sneer, after he knew the message from outside, he no longer had hope of losing the disappearing escort team. It is indeed Yang Yue's handiwork to be ruthless, but it is precisely because he always likes to go off the rails that he will be defeated by Xiao Xiao's hands again and again.
"I know, what's going on outside?" Zhou Xiong didn't ask about the specific situation, he knew that either he couldn't find anything, or he left evidence of the Xiao family's actions.
"At first, they were reluctant to disperse, and proposed that if Yang Juntao could not be released directly, then his trial must be public, only then would they believe that we were not colluding with the Xiao family. The guard looked at Zhou Xiong with a tangled face, and he agreed to this request without authorization, because he got the news that it should be the Xiao family who attacked the escort team.
"You agreed?" Zhou Xiong looked at him coldly.
"My lord, I didn't want to agree at first, but I received news that the person who attacked the escort team should be sent by the Xiao family, so I agreed, wanting to give the Xiao family an ugly look. "The guards are not afraid of Zhou Xiong's anger, after all, his name is Zhou Hua, he is Zhou Xiong's son, no matter how he is, he will not be serious about him.
Zhou Xiong sighed and said helplessly: "You, you're still too tender." I asked you about the previous situation, do you know that the rumors outside are true?"
Zhou Hua was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, he was also present at the time, of course he knew that the news outside was that the Yang family was smearing Li Yuan.
"Since it's not true, why did the Xiao family do anything to these guards? I dare to guarantee that when the trial is critical, these guards will definitely appear accompanied by the Yang family, and it will be said that the Yang family is afraid that when the Xiao family will destroy the mouth and send people over, someone will attack the escort team, so they will rescue them. As for why the other guards died and saved a few of their prisoners alive, there are ways to explain it. Zhou Xiong said directly.
At this time, Zhou Hua reacted, the Xiao family had no reason to attack the escort team at all, and he was not one of those people outside who were deceived by the Yang family, why didn't he react. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that the story made up by the Yang family was so real, half-truths and half-truths, that even he didn't consciously believe it.
Only at this time did he understand the viciousness of the Yang family, which was completely to destroy Li Yuan and the Xiao family.
"Then what should we do, although the fire has not burned on our bodies now, but it was Yang Juntao who was ordered by my father to be arrested that day, and there were several people present at that time, I think it won't be long before it gets out. ”
Zhou Xiong nodded with satisfaction, his son is not completely hopeless, and he can still see something.
"Hua'er, you have to remember that you should never do what others force you to do, even if it is a dead end. Because what you are forced to do is what you are not willing to do, if you do it in order to survive, then your belief will be over, and there will be no room for improvement in the future, it is better to die vigorously. Zhou Xiong expressed his attitude very clearly.
Zhou Hua nodded solemnly, then thought for a while and asked: "Now that the turmoil is so big, why hasn't the Xiao family reacted at all, even Li Yuan didn't come forward, what are they thinking, if they continue to develop like this, the entire Xiao family will be blown up?"
Zhou Xiong sneered: "You have to remember that a momentary victory does not mean that you can laugh and say that in the end, public opinion is not only used by the Yang family, maybe the Yang family's actions are just to make wedding dresses for other people." ”
Zhou Hua didn't understand, but the look on his father's face that was not worried also relaxed, and then asked, "Then what if I have promised them a public trial, will I go out and refuse now?"
"There's no need, they just want a public trial, and I hope they won't be disappointed in the final result. Zhou Xiong smiled and waved his hand, then got up and came to the window, looking at the people who left in twos and threes.
