Ancestors, please don't crawl out again.

Chapter 74 Fried Cypress

Yang Feng, who was drinking tea on the Imperial Street, looked down at the palace with the vision of a dragon.

There was chaos inside.

Officials with soldiers were searching everywhere.

Of course, there were also eunuchs and concubines who brought soldiers to obstruct.

One of the leading concubines was even wearing armor.

We must search the harem!

At this point, who has time to consider the rules? Either their house will be burned down, their property will be reduced to ashes, and even their wives, concubines and children will be reduced to ashes, or they will find Wanyan Gou and ask him to go out and meet the demon.

As for the nature of this behavior...

The Song Dynasty doesn't kill scholars and officials, so what is there to be afraid of?

But the demon can!

These ministers all knew the inside story. He had already killed a Dali Temple Minister. The unfortunate Wanqi Xie had half of his body broken. Because the officers were carrying him out of the Dali Temple and the road was constantly bumpy, these broken bones were like broken glass inside, destroying his internal organs. He kept vomiting blood all the way, and even vomited out his broken internal organs, as if his body was about to be hollowed out. As soon as he was carried in front of Qin Hui, he trembled and raised his hands to die.

His dead body is actually in the palace now. Qin Hui carried it into the palace for Wanyan Gou to see.

All the ministers have also seen it.

They were summoned to the palace early in the morning on the first day of the new year to observe Wanqi Xie.

The scene was terrifying.

This is also the reason why Wanyan Gou made a prompt decision when he learned that the demon had arrived at Henan Gate. He had never made a mistake when it came to escaping. After all, staying alive was the most important thing, and his success depended on the word "staying alive."

face?

He's being fucking ridden by the enemy, he doesn't care about his face at all.

However, at this moment, the palace really felt like a place where a complete search had taken place.

The palace was originally built around mountains and rivers, with pavilions and towers nestled between them. It could even be said that the entire city was mostly mountains, and the area was vast. While the scenery was stunning, it was difficult to find someone hiding there in a short period of time. If he were to sneak out, it would be even harder to find him. He had built the palace in this location to facilitate escape, as leaving the palace would lead directly into the Qiantang River or into the mountains. The ministers knew better; Wanyan Gou had abandoned them and fled before, so they immediately sealed off all the gates to prevent him from escaping. Then, a dragnet search ensued. Due to a shortage of manpower, officials had already gone to places like the Imperial Academy to summon reinforcements.

Some princes and nobles even sent people back to summon slaves into the palace.

As for the legality of doing this...

This is not just one official, but all the civil and military officials in the court.

What can Wanyan Gou do?

Settle the accounts afterwards?

Does he dare?
Besides, we are all well-educated people and what we are best at is explaining.

What do you mean everyone searched the mountains and seas to capture the emperor?

It was clearly the Kunlun Immortal who came to visit, wanting to help the Song Dynasty recover the Central Plains. He learned that Marshal Yue was imprisoned, so he came to see Your Majesty to plead for mercy, but Your Majesty was nowhere to be found, and it was suspected that he was kidnapped by the rebels. Everyone was anxious and, for the sake of the Song Dynasty and the people of the world, had to enter the palace to help search at the request of Concubine Wu.

what?
Is Concubine Wu the one who is wearing armor and blocking them?
Nonsense, she was obviously welcoming him.

Yang Feng looked at Concubine Wu who was forced aside by the human wall of the nobles...

"You are doing this, but is it the behavior of a loyal minister?"

The woman shouted angrily.

"Hurry, go in quickly, leave them alone, and beat anyone who dares to stop you with a stick."

A purple-robed official shouted.

The soldiers, at first bewildered, looked at each other, but eventually rushed in...

"God, the person has been brought here."

The general's voice brought Yang Feng's attention back to the main body.

He looked at the two men before him, unable to stand. Yue Yun and Zhang Xian were equally battered, having endured relentless torture. Especially Yue Yun, a top-tier battlefield warrior, whose body was practically reduced to rotting flesh. The surrounding soldiers and civilians watched in silence. They knew only that Yue Fei and his son were imprisoned, and at most, there were rumors of torture. But seeing them tortured to this state was still outrageous.

This was an invincible general on the battlefield, a god of war in the eyes of the soldiers, but a mere fifth-rank civil servant could torture him at will.

It's like treating a stray dog.

Especially the soldiers, it was obvious that they were smoldering with anger.

"Feed this to them!"

Yang Feng took out two sulfa tablets and handed them to the shop owner who was serving nearby.

The latter bowed and took it with both hands.

They were only severely tortured, but their lives are not in danger for the time being. Just give them some time to relax. As for making them recover, there is no need to rush for the time being.

Yang Feng still has to ask Wanyan Gou for Yue Fei!

Therefore, he still hasn't released Yue Fei. He simply wants Wanyan Gou to hand him over. He is a Taoist monk from Kunlun Mountain, and he wants to help Yue Fei recover the Central Plains. But Yue Fei was killed, so of course he wants Wanyan Gou to see him alive or dead. As for Yue Fei's possession of the Fang Tian Hua Ji, it was only witnessed by a few officers, who did report it to their superiors, but the soldiers and civilians in Lin'an were unaware of it. They only knew that the Dali Temple was burned down and Marshal Yue was missing.

but……

The body was destroyed and all traces of it were covered up!
These treacherous officials killed Marshal Yue, burned his body and refused to acknowledge it.

Either the gods are making trouble unreasonably, or the officials are destroying the body.

Will ordinary people believe that?

At this time, more civil and military officials who had not originally attended the court meeting had also arrived, including several generals who were already in heavy armor. They even brought their trusted elite servants with them, but they did not move forward. After all, everything that happened today was too sudden and too shocking to their values. Everyone was in a state of confusion.

This is not a rebellion, they know how to deal with that.

Whether it is resolving a soldier mutiny or suppressing unrest among the people, they understand it.

The civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty at this time were no longer the useless ones during the Jingkang period. The real useless ones had already been fed to wild dogs in the twenty years of war. Wanyan Gou dared to kill Yue Fei because he knew that he could keep his country without Yue Fei, and without Yue Fei, the Jin army would not be able to attack again.

Yue Fei is of no use to him

It's time to get rid of it.

But now these generals who have experienced hundreds of battles really don’t understand.

Looking at the two giant dragons in the sky, they really didn't know how to deal with it.

Overnight, the world turned into a fantasy world.

It's all messy.

In this strange silence, two officials from Henan Gate ran out panting.

"The emperor has issued an order to summon the Kunlun Immortal to the palace."

one of them shouted.

Then they ran to Yang Feng.

"Immortal, Your Majesty, please enter the palace. As for Marshal Yue's affairs, Your Majesty is not aware of them. Your Majesty has been meditating in the mountains lately, and has entrusted all government affairs to Prime Minister Qin. If Prime Minister Qin framed Marshal Yue, Your Majesty must conduct a thorough investigation."

He said humbly.

then……

Yang Feng waved his hand.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji instantly hit him in the face, and the guy flew up, his head suddenly turning to the side.

Then it hit the ground amidst another scream of terror.

Then he twitched. Then he died.

The remaining one collapsed to the ground screaming.

"Do you need me to say it again?"

Yang Feng said while drinking tea.

"God, God, we did find the emperor. He was hiding under the bed in Concubine Wu's bedroom, but the emperor refused to come out. We tried to persuade him in every way, but he only agreed to summon you to the palace. God, we really have no other way. If the emperor doesn't come out, we can't do anything. But please rest assured, God, the matter of Marshal Yue can be settled easily. The emperor has said that it was Prime Minister Qin who kept it from him. The emperor has ordered Prime Minister Qin to come to the palace. Then you can do whatever you want. Marshal Yue's case will be vindicated and he will be posthumously named a prince. Yue Yun and the other two will be acquitted and both will be promoted to higher positions."

The remaining one fell to his feet and lay there crying.

"Where is Marshal Yue's body?"

Yang Feng said.

"Marshal Yue's body?"

The official was stunned for a moment.

He raised his head and looked at Yang Feng with a look of complete confusion.

"The remains..."

He said.

But it came to an abrupt end.

"We still don't know where the body is. Perhaps Prime Minister Qin knows."

He spoke tremblingly under Yang Feng's cold gaze.

"Still trying to trick me? Go back and tell Zhao Gou to bring Marshal Yue's body out to see me. I'll explain things clearly in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians here, so that no one will accuse me of being unreasonable. If he refuses to come out, don't blame me for being rude. One hour is up, keep burning it. You bastards won't cry until you see the coffin."

Yang Feng sneered.

Above the city behind, the dragon once again spewed out terrifying blue flames.

The official had no choice but to return crying.

When he reached the city gate, the generals also came over and entered the palace together.

At this time, chaotic shouts were heard from the Imperial Street behind.

Yang Feng turned around and looked at the huge crowd coming from behind. In front of them was a middle-aged man who was struggling. He looked quite handsome, but his clothes were torn and the official hat on his head was crooked. He looked a little embarrassed. And not only him, there was also a middle-aged woman next to him who was being dragged by a group of fierce women and was being cursed at furiously.

"You wicked people, you damned wicked people, how dare you do this, how dare you..."

she screamed.

"Is this Qin Hui?"

Yang Feng said.

"Replying to the Immortal, this is Prime Minister Qin. When the Immortal arrived, he had just returned. Before that, he led people to carry Dali Temple Minister Wanqi Xie into the palace. Rumor has it that he was burned to death in the Dali Temple."

The shop owner who was serving nearby said respectfully.

Of course, this kind of well-informed person already has a vague idea of ​​the truth, but he is also sensible.

"Go find a big pot, big enough for a person to fit in, fill it with oil, and set it on fire here."

Yang Feng said.

As he said this, he took out a gem and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The latter quickly thanked the gods for the reward and left with his men.

As for what the gods will do...

What else could he do with a frying pan that could hold a person?
As for whether or not Prime Minister Qin would retaliate against me for doing things for the gods...

Let’s wait until Prime Minister Qin survives today.

If the gods wanted to avenge Marshal Yue, they would definitely kill him first. If the government wanted to find someone to take the blame, they would also be the first to betray him. No matter what, he would end up in this frying pan.

Qin Hui and his wife were dragged by the people until they came in front of Yang Feng.

The leader stepped forward and saluted.

"My Lord, this is the treacherous prime minister. He was the one who framed Marshal Yue. The Dali Temple had previously found Marshal Yue innocent. To kill Marshal Yue, he replaced the Dali Temple Minister with his henchman Wanqi Xie. He did this so Wanqi Xie could torture Marshal Yue severely, force him to confess, and then kill him. His woman was also an accomplice. This traitor obeyed her every word. His servants said that it was this woman who instigated the murder of Marshal Yue, saying that releasing Marshal Yue would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains."

He said.

Yang Feng looked at him with a deep smile.

The man lay on the ground trembling with fear, and cold sweat broke out.

Of course, he must have been instructed by someone.

After all, Qin Hui had plenty of political enemies, and this was a good opportunity to kill him. Moreover, someone had to take responsibility for this matter, and who else could it be except Qin Hui? Similarly, someone among the people had to take the lead, otherwise how could they dare to kidnap the prime minister of the time.

civil?
The people can be used.

But these have nothing to do with Yang Feng. What he wants is Qin Hui and his wife, and now someone has solved the problem for him.

"God, I did not frame Marshal Yue. It was Marshal Yue's subordinate Wang Jun who first accused Marshal Yue and his son-in-law Zhang Xian of treason to his commander, Wang Gui. Wang Gui then reported it to the higher authorities. I was simply following the law. Marshal Yue and I are old acquaintances, so how could I harm him? However, as Prime Minister, I had to prioritize state affairs. Since someone first accused him of treason, I had no choice but to imprison and interrogate him. Wanqi Xie's torture of him was a common practice in the Dali Temple. As for his murder of Marshal Yue, I have no knowledge of it.

Last night, on New Year's Eve, I returned home early and no longer dealt with government affairs."

Qin Xiang lay at Yang Feng's feet and said with a look of grievance.

"Look behind you."

Yang Feng said.

Qin Hui turned around in surprise.

Behind him, several men were carrying a huge iron pot.

The mouth of the pot was even as long as a door panel.

While other guys had already brought in bricks, some were pushing firewood in carts. What frightened him even more was that there was a group of guys behind them, each holding a jar. Before they even got close, the aroma of rapeseed oil wafted over.

"Tell me the truth clearly. I know you are a smart person and I know about your relationship with the Jin people. I just want you to explain it clearly. Besides, Zhao Gou is ready to use you as a sacrifice. The people he sent before have already said that you did it behind his back.

So I just want you to tell me the truth, and I know it, but I want you to tell it in front of all the soldiers and civilians here. If you refuse and act like you're putting on a show for me, then I'll have to resort to other methods. I know you're frightened by the Jin people, but I can tell you that I'm scarier than them. They can only kill you once, but I can make you unable to even beg for death. I once tortured someone who needed to be slashed hundreds of times a day, then resurrected them and continued the slashing for three whole months.

Do you like frying pans?
I can keep you fried alive in a frying pan for three months."

Yang Feng looked down at him and said seriously.

Qin Hui trembled as he looked at this devilish man.

"God, everything I said is true."

He said crying.

"I understand. Heat the oil in a pan. Today I'm going to make you a fried cypress dish. By the way, where did you get this big pan?"

Yang Feng said.

"God, this was ordered by the temple master for use during the ritual. It's not yet delivered, so I brought it over to you for your use."

The shopkeeper spoke quickly.

Qin Hui looked at him with resentment.
