The moment he saw the snow-white skull, the old butler could hardly get up in one breath. He stared hatefully at the sign hanging from the skull. On it, in scribbled handwriting, were written five big characters: "Sinner Yan Ruoting".

How ridiculous, with only these five big words, the coffin was closed and the young master's life was concluded. This majestic imperial city, this majestic imperial city, is this how it treats a people who love it from the bottom of their hearts?

Young master, you are also a citizen of Beiming.

Cui Qinghe looked at the skull and only felt dizzy in front of him. He was so strong in martial arts that he thought he could easily jump on the city wall and bring back the head of an adult, but when he really saw the skull, he only felt that his legs were weak.

It's really unproductive! What is the difference between such a self and those weak people who are powerless? However, Cui Qinghe only felt an inexplicable grief and indignation infinitely magnified in his heart, so that in the end, he almost couldn't control his hand and trembled slightly.

Fortunately, it was only for a moment, and the next moment, Cui Qinghe returned to normal. He stared at the skull, calculating the best angle to fly up and grab it.

But at this moment, the soldiers defending the city had already noticed their group of hurried pedestrians. They shouted at Cui Qinghe and the others.

"What do you guys do?"

After a period of interrogation, Cui Qinghe and others were finally let in, but they had to be looted. In front of everyone's eyes, Cui Qinghe was not sure that he would be able to take down the adult's skull intact. After all, it has been exposed to the wind and sun for so long, and if it is a miss, it may shatter.

Besides, he can't guarantee that everyone will be able to get out of the way. Because now, after all, he is not alone.

Cui Qinghe told himself that he was not alone now, and the purpose of this trip was not only to bring back the bones of adults, but also to find out what happened in the first place, why adults were killed for no reason, and wanted to give justice to adults.

For today's plan, I can only inquire quietly.

After the group made a simple arrangement at the inn, Cui Qinghe and Steward Yan began to quietly move around, wanting to find the young master's old friend, at least ask clearly.

Nearly half a year has passed since the young master's accident, but the strange thing is that when asking about the young master, many people don't know anything. You can see that they really don't know. Occasionally, one or two people who may know something inside will also have a secretive expression, and dare not say a word.

Cui Qinghe and others became more and more angry. In this magnificent imperial city, no one cares about the death of the lord at all. The sky of their Jiang Dong has fallen, but for the magnates in this imperial city, it is like a dead ant, not worth mentioning!

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and they finally found someone who was willing to tell them. That person and the young master were on the same list, and they were on the list back then, and they had a very good personal relationship with the young master. It is said that because he interceded for Xiao Yanlang at the beginning, he almost angered the saint. For such a person, Cui Qinghe and others still have a little trust.

But even so, before leaving, Cui Qinghe still explained to the rest of the people, asking them to be careful themselves, and once they found that something was wrong, they would run away immediately, and they must not delay!

In order to keep it secret, Cui Qinghe and Steward Yan quietly came to the agreed restaurant. It was an elegant-looking restaurant, and the waiters inside were also very well-behaved, and they didn't ask much, but quietly ushered them into the room. The room was elegantly furnished, with not only fruits and vegetables on the table, but also an unknown incense burning in the room, which was refreshing.

And that Wang Bangyan was already waiting there with an anxious face. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw them.

"I thought you weren't coming. I also took a great risk to get here, but I don't know much, so it may not help you. ”

Cui Qinghe, the housekeeper of Yan, hurriedly said that even if it was only a little bit, it would be fine. They really want to know what happened to the adults in the first place. None of the guards and others who followed the adults at the beginning came back alive, so it is difficult to reach the sky now if you want to know something about the adult's life.

Wang Bang glanced at Cui Qinghe, and then turned his gaze at Steward Yan. During the previous scientific expedition, he had seen Steward Yan and knew that this was Yan Ruoting's old family, who had raised him almost since he was a child. So I told him what I knew.

"Actually, I don't know a lot, I just know that at the beginning, Brother Yan entered the city, and before he reported on his work, he was reported, saying that he was growing up in Jiang Dongcheng, not only did he have good breeds but did not report to the court, but also raised a bunch of soldiers. There is evidence for all these cases, so Brother Yan was quickly imprisoned, personally tried by His Majesty, and executed directly three days later, and I didn't even have time to file a complaint. ”

"And what about the evidence?"

Steward Yan couldn't help but ask. But Wang Bangyan sighed and stared at him with an almost sympathetic look.

"Uncle Yan, do you really not know? It's not because there is really real evidence, and it's not because Brother Yan really did something bad or committed any crime, the fundamental reason is that His Majesty wants him to die. ”

“…… Why? My family is loyal, and there has never been a traitor! ”

Wang Bangyan took a deep breath, he didn't know what he remembered, and his eyes were extremely sad.

"As an emperor, who would allow anyone to make an immortal deed that is better than himself, and, well, well? Brother Yan, he is so talented, his talent is so dazzling, it only took five years to govern Jiang Dong's ghost place comparable to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. What's more, it is said that the people of Jiang Dong regard him as the reincarnation of Yao Shun, and even secretly offer an ancestral shrine! ”

"Ancestral Hall, even Your Majesty may not be able to have it, but Brother Yan has so many, just this is enough for him to die how many times?"

"However, those ancestral halls are all voluntarily owned by my Jiang Dong people, and my young master does not have the slightest compulsion!"

"Don't Yan Bo know? It is precisely because of voluntariness that His Majesty is so taboo. ”

Steward Yan collapsed weakly in his chair. He never imagined that it would be such a ridiculous reason.

Is it wrong for the people of Jiangdong to sincerely thank the young master for his help? As a ruler, you shouldn't compare with your courtiers who is more talented in governing the people, as long as you have a broad mind, isn't it enough?

It's ridiculous, such a simple truth, even he, an old man, understands it, but Emperor Beiming, who is the emperor, doesn't know.

"Then, then my young master, when you leave, is it painful when you leave?"

Wang Bangyan avoided Steward Yan's hopeful eyes, and seemed to be avoiding this question.

"The executioner's hand is up and down, and soon, Brother Yan, there should be no suffering."
