This god is really evil

Chapter 159 Helping the Emperor to Eat People (asking for monthly tickets)
Hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but stare at it.

Sheriff?

Massacre the city! ?
Is this party really so lawless?
However, if this news really spread, the people of Qinghe County would have run away long ago, as they are not stupid.

Then he asked Liu Yunhe:

"Master Liu, this minister's clique dares to defy the will of the world. Aren't they afraid that the people will rebel?"

The people in Qinghe County are not only ordinary people, but also some local wealthy businessmen.

These people often have vested interests with the wealthy and powerful families in the states and counties. The relationship is so complicated that it cannot be explained in a few words.

If they are pushed to the limit, some powerful people who have hidden private soldiers and servants might just rebel.

Not to mention that there are still many evil cults in the local area. When the two sides join forces, even the prime minister’s party will be in trouble.

Liu Yunhe sighed:
"The people in this gang are not fools, how could they not consider this? They have always been using the high-sounding name of justice, in the name of suppressing evil spirits and investigating cases, to erode the people bit by bit..."

Liu Yunhe then slowly told Li Yan about his investigation into the Huzhou evil spirit-eliminating case.

The person in charge of the Huzhou evil spirit eradication case was Zhao Ning, the fifth-rank Wuyi general and commander of the Hexi Guard stationed in Hexi Road.

After Zhao Ning arrived in Huzhou, he first took control of the destination, Huzhou Liancheng, and then began to arrest people.

If we say today that these thousands of people are White Lotus demons and have all been captured and tortured, the other people in the city will naturally not react.

The next day, it was reported that several thousand other people had secretly communicated with the White Lotus Sect, and they were all arrested and beheaded. The remaining people believed that they had nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect and thought that the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, several thousand more people were arrested the next day. They were said to be infected with evil spirits and could not be cured, so they had to be destroyed.

They kept arresting people like this day after day, and by the time the remaining people realized what was happening and wanted to run away, it was already too late!
Liancheng itself is also a county town with a population of more than 100,000. The 5,000 soldiers of Hexiwei slaughtered them day by day like cutting meat with a blunt knife, and finally killed them all.

The entire Lotus City was massacred!
Li Yan frowned and said:
"Even if Zhao Ning followed the orders of the evil prime minister Yan Shiren, he just wantonly massacred the city. Isn't he afraid of being blamed by the court and being infamous for eternity? The current emperor, does he really not know anything about it? Moreover, these are hundreds of thousands of lives and a prosperous county. Isn't he afraid of causing unrest in the world!?"

No matter how treacherous the evil prime minister Yan Shiren is, or how incompetent the emperor is, there is no reason for them to massacre their own people.

After all, if the Great Qi wants to survive, it does not rely on land or officials, but on the living people.

Massacring hundreds of thousands of people in a county is simply outrageous.

If everyone in the world knew about this, the throne of the Emperor of Da Qi would collapse.

Liu Yunhe's eyes showed weakness and despair, and he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. He said in a low voice:

"These days, I have been investigating the Huzhou extermination case. Previously, I relied on the case of the extermination of evil spirits in Weizi Town to find a lot of hard evidence of the unjust killing of innocent people in the extermination of evil spirits in Huzhou. After going through untold hardships and escaping death, I sent it to the court. But then it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no further news."

Li Yan asked:

"Was it intercepted by that evil minister Yan Shiren and not delivered to the emperor?"

Liu Yunhe looked at Li Yan, then at Chongyun and Aole, hesitated for a moment, and said to Chongyun and Aole:

"Chongyun, Aole, go find some writing brushes for me."

After sending the two away, Liu Yunhe smiled bitterly and said to Li Yan:
"Chongyun and Aole are simple-minded and easily impulsive. This is of great importance. Only someone like you who has a clear mind and a keen heart can keep such a huge secret."

After a pause, Liu Yunhe continued:

"I originally thought that my report was intercepted by the evil prime minister Yan Shiren. After asking a loyal and kind eunuch in the palace, I learned that the report was delivered to the emperor's desk as soon as possible. The emperor also read it carefully, but just threw it on the ground..."

Li Yan's pupils shrank and he said:

"So, the emperor of today already knew the truth about the Huzhou Evil Extermination Case!? Could it be that..."

Veins on Liu Yunhe's forehead were exposed. He smiled and said:

"It is said that the White Lotus Sect received a tear from the Mother of No Birth. This is a divine tear! A man is innocent but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Otherwise, there are so many evil sects in the world. Why would the Xiang Party be so dedicated to the White Lotus Sect? Using the divine tear of the Mother of No Birth as medicine, combined with the blood, flesh and spirit of hundreds of thousands of people, we can refine the great elixir of ascension."

"What Huzhou extermination case... it's just that the emperor wants to make an elixir!" At this point, Liu Yunhe's expression suddenly became ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"He wanted to become an immortal and make an elixir, so he massacred a city of more than 100,000 people and even pushed the blame on the White Lotus Sect! Among those killed, there were tens of thousands of children alone! There were even premature babies!"

"Aren't they the subjects of this tyrant? Aren't they the people of the Great Qi?"

"He's crazy! He's crazy! He...is not worthy of being the emperor! He's a demon! A demon!"

In the end, Liu Yunhe stood up suddenly, shouted almost hysterically, then sat back in the chair, his face pale, sweating profusely, and his eyes full of fatigue.

He had been holding this secret in his heart for a long time, but he had no one to tell it to, not even to his fellow students or teachers. He felt so uncomfortable holding it in that he finally told it in front of Li Yan today, and he felt as if a huge stone had been lifted off his shoulders.

Li Yan frowned. He felt that there must be something wrong with Liu Yunhe's body. His breath had become much weaker than before!

He immediately stepped forward to support Liu Yunhe and said anxiously:
"Is Master Liu okay? Why do you look so weak? Is it a relapse of his wound?"

The Taoist injury that Liu Yunhe had suffered was too severe. Although the Confucian Taoist charm that Li Yan had given him before had temporarily repaired his Taoist injury, it was only on the surface and was far from being cured.

After all, to heal this heart injury, Liu Yunhe himself needs to overcome his inner demons.

Looking at Liu Yunhe's current appearance, he is much weaker than before his injuries were repaired.

Li Yan remained calm and could even feel that Liu Yunhe's own strength might have fallen to the early stage of visualization realm at this moment!
Liu Yunhe did not answer his question. He looked into the distance with a dazed look in his eyes and said slowly:

"I have read the books of sages all my life, hoping to enter the imperial court, become a high-ranking official, save the world, protect the country, and assist the wise emperor. But in the end... it's all in vain."

"What is the purpose of my life? Is it to help the emperor eat people?"

Looking at Liu Yunhe's expression, Li Yan understood that this was because he could not accept the truth of the Huzhou evil-elimination case, and his Taoism heart was damaged again.

During the time he had been in contact with Liu Yunhe, he had gained a deeper understanding of this middle-aged man.

On the surface, the other party appears to be unrestrained and unconstrained, and even dares to talk about Zi's faults in private, but deep down he is still a traditional Confucian scholar.

What he wanted was still to assist the wise emperor, govern the country well, and be respected by all the people.

However, the current situation has obviously completely shattered Liu Yunhe's inner hope, making everything he has done seem like a joke.

It was originally believed that the emperor was wise and enlightened, but was deceived by the evil prime minister Yan Shiren and his party. It was said that "the original intention from above was good, but the execution below was wrong."

But he didn't expect that what the evil prime minister Yan Shiren did was instructed by the emperor!
Snakes and rats live together, and the Da Qi is rotten from the root.

Liu Yunhe then abruptly retracted his gaze, looked at Li Yan, and said:
"Daqi...it's over..."

There were still tears in his eyes, and he seemed unable to accept this fact.

Li Yan sighed in his heart, realizing that Lao Liu was actually still a naive idealist. He had witnessed the collapse of a rationalist's ideals.

Liu, you are still too young. If nothing works, you should just accept the blessing...

I just don’t know what Lao Liu’s true realm is?
Li Yan immediately said to Liu Yunhe:

"Master Liu, no matter whether Da Qi is over or not, the hundreds of thousands of people in Qinghe County still need to be saved. I think we should spread the news of the massacre first, and as many as possible can escape. How do you think?"

Liu Yunhe nodded slightly:
"That's all we can do..."

He looked as if he had aged ten years.

Li Yan nodded:
"Master Liu, please take a rest for a while. I will immediately gather the detectives in the city and spread the news...Master Liu, you must not collapse. When the county governor comes with his demon-suppressing camp, you will be the only one who can stop him."

Liu Yunhe nodded again, closed his eyes, and two lines of tears finally flowed down.

Li Yan walked out of the gate of the Imperial Observatory and said to Zhang Jun who was guarding the door:
"Brother Zhang, go tell Captain Zhao to bring his squad leaders to the Imperial Observatory immediately. We have something important to discuss."

After Zhang Jun left, Li Yan leisurely walked out of the Sitianjian Yamen, and accompanied by Zhao Qingshan and others, he went all the way to the Yichunyuan which had reopened in the city.

After entering the upper room, Li Yan walked to the wall next to the bed and knocked lightly on the wall, then whispered:
"Have the chief priest tell the lantern bearer that in three days, the governor of Anding County will come to Qinghe County with 30 guards to appease the people. Killing him will enable us to seize the entire Anding County."
