Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Beheading of the Whole Clan
After tossing for two quarters of an hour, Zhou Yan and Lin Xing finally went to the top of the cliff.
Lin Xing beat the dust on the hem of his clothes, and Yu Guang found that Zhang Ping and Zhao Jie both lowered their heads in shame.
She bent over in confusion and met Zhao Jie's face, but he avoided it unnaturally.
Lin Xing felt strange, and was about to ask, when she suddenly heard a crisp sound.
"Poofโ"
Zhou Yan and Lin Xing looked at each other, they looked at Zhang Ping, only to see him kneeling on the ground respectfully, holding his saber high in both hands, and said loudly: "Your Highness is guilty, please punish Your Highness." โ
Zhao Jie was also a little confused, but he was also ashamed of himself, seeing Zhang Ping's appearance, he pondered for a moment, and knelt in front of Lin Xing.
"Zhao Jie is guilty, and I ask my sister to punish him."
Lin Xing: ......
What did Zhao Jie, this kid do?
She's only been trapped for three days, Zhao Jie won't sell the shop secretly, right?
Lin Xing pinched a handful of sweat and asked tentatively, "What did you do?" โ
"Qingyun Society, I didn't get the leader."
Zhao Jie's voice was muffled.
The boulder in Lin Xing's heart can be regarded as falling.
What is this?
Although she and Zhou Yan were trapped in the cliff for three days in the rain and wind, with her cranky thoughts in front of her, Lin Xing's anger was not as strong as before.
And looking at Zhao Jie's reaction, he must have suffered for a few days.
She waved her hand, pulled Zhao Jie up, and said with a straight face: "I don't care if you Qingyun will be able to get the leader, I just hope you can learn some real skills from it, although it ranks second this time, it just shows that people can't be arrogant and frivolous, there are people outside the world, and you have to learn more." โ
Zhao Jie nodded solemnly: "I remember it all." โ
"According to our promise that day, you can only do whatever you want if you get the leader of the Qingyun Society, and now you ......" Lin Xing dragged out his voice.
Zhao Jie immediately understood what she meant, he nodded, and replied, "I know, I will learn the knowledge of managing the shop well." โ
Lin Xing nodded with satisfaction, and her eyes fell on Zhang Ping and Zhou Yan.
Zhang Pingzheng reported the changes that happened in the past three days: "He died. โ
"What?" Zhao Jie's reaction was quite big, he took a few steps forward and came to Zhou Yan and Zhang Ping, "This must be Li Yannian's means, the prince and his sister disappeared, he knew that Zhang Ping would definitely lead someone to look for him, and took the opportunity to take his life." โ
After a pause, Zhao Jie said again: "What about Ruipeng that year?" โ
"Nian Ruipeng was seriously injured and has already sent someone to treat him." Zhang Ping looked at Zhou Yan, "Shizi, what should we do next?" โ
Zhou Yan frowned, not in a hurry to answer, but Zhao Jie's cheerful jump.
He clenched his fists with both hands and was eager to try: "I must be going to find that Li Yannian to settle accounts, he is so anxious to get rid of his mouth, he must be empty-hearted." โ
Seeing that he was active, Lin Xing stopped Zhao Jie and deliberately asked, "Have you ever thought about why Li Yannian has a weak heart?" โ
Seeing that Zhao Jie couldn't answer, Lin Xing said: "Li Yannian's donkey skills are poor, and he knows that once the matter of the immortal paste is disclosed, it will be difficult to protect himself, so he can only think of such a strategy, he is already in a mess." โ
Zhou Yan nodded approvingly, he looked at Zhang Ping and asked, "Zhang Ping, did you find anything at the scene?" โ
Zhang Ping took out a hidden weapon from his sleeve pocket: "The assassins at the scene used this kind of secret weapon a lot, although the hidden weapon does not have a totem, the material that can make this hidden weapon is Zuomen steel, the source is precious, and the price is high. โ
Zhou Yan put the hidden weapon in his hand, checked it, and put it back in Zhang Ping's hand.
Looking at the entire Yuzhou City, such a wealthy person, since the beginning of the year, there is only one Li Yannian.
Zhou Yan turned over and got on the horse: "Release the news that the Nian family was assassinated and returned home." โ
"Yes."
The group took Nian Ruipeng back to the prefect's office, Yang Pei'an got the news early and waited outside the door, and when he saw Zhou Yan and a few people getting off the horse, he greeted him with a busy smile.
But he didn't want him to stick it up, and another carriage stopped in front of the prefect's door.
Li Yannian walked over surrounded by two maidservants, and when he saw that Zhou Yan was also there, he pretended to be surprised: "I didn't expect that the prince had arrived, I just got the news that the Nian family had been assassinated, so I hurried over." โ
"I didn't expect Master Li to be so busy, and he also cared about the affairs of the Nian family." Lin Xing laughed sarcastically.
"In such a big case as the fairy ointment, it is my duty to pay more attention." Li Yannian quietly opened the topic and looked at Zhou Yan, "Shizi, I heard that the Nian family was assassinated, have the assassins found out who it is?" โ
"Master Li cares about the Nian family so much, and he knows better than me about the assassination, so I don't need to say more, right?" Zhou Yan asked rhetorically.
Yang Pei'an looked at the tension between the two of them for no reason, wiped a cold sweat, and made peace: "Lord Li, His Royal Highness, if there is anything we might as well go into the mansion and say, it makes people suspicious at the door." โ
Zhou Yan nodded: "Lord Yang is reasonable, this son will take the first step." โ
Yang Pei'an followed a few people, and always felt that something was wrong.
Li Yannian on the left and Zhou Yan on the right are all characters he can't afford to provoke.
But Li Yannian still has an excuse to deal with it, as for Zhou Yan, the unpredictable master, if he accidentally offends him, I am afraid that it is not clear when his head will fall.
Yang Pei'an rubbed his chin and secretly guessed: Nian got up and died, and there was no proof of the death of the immortal ointment, so he could only stay in Yuzhou to wait for trial.
In the past year, the family had some contradictions with Zhou Yan, could it be that Zhou Yan came to keep an eye on it?
Just in case, Yang Pei'an found another excuse to take Li Yannian away, came to Zhou Yan alone, handed over a cup of hot tea, and said tentatively: "My lord, do you want me to punish the Nian family severely?" โ
Zhou Yan sipped lightly, but he was not in a hurry to answer.
He estimated the time, and a cup of hot tea was down, and then he moved his gaze back to Yang Pei'an: "The affairs of the Nian family, you can just watch and do it." โ
Zhou Yan's words were vague, but Yang Pei'an could see all of his attitude.
He had a spectrum in mind.
The matter of the Nian family's immortal ointment is only Nian Ruipeng's testimony, and if Nian gets up and dies, if Nian's family bites one and doesn't know if he doesn't admit it, the government can't take him.
At most, it is just a private ship trade and confiscation of family property.
But with Zhou Yan on the side, Yang Pei'an patted the coffin, looked at the Nian family kneeling in the audience, cleared his throat, and said straightly: "Since the beginning of the private ship trade, selling fairy ointment, the crime is extremely heinous, the family property is confiscated, the whole family is beheaded, and the execution will not be carried out every day!" โ
Behead the whole clan!
Except for Nian Ruipeng, the rest of the people were all paralyzed, as if they had been hit by a great blow, and they collapsed on the ground.
Even Li Yannian clenched the handrail.
"Lord Li is not satisfied with such a punishment?" Zhou Yan held the hot tea and asked leisurely, "The immortal ointment is a scourge for the common people, presumably Lord Li sees it all." โ
Li Yannian looked at Zhou Yan, but felt that he couldn't understand the meaning in his eyes.
