Ancestors, please don't crawl out again.

Chapter 75 Qin Hui and Zhao Gou's Oil Pot Bath
Qin Hui looked behind him tremblingly.

The big pot was quickly set up, oil was poured in, and the fire underneath was lit...

"Who dares? I'll see who dares, my family's prime minister!
Troublemakers! "

His wife was still howling.

Just like Mrs. Qian, she put one hand on her waist and pointed at the shop owner and the clerk with the other.

Yang Feng pointed.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji instantly hit Wang's back, knocking her down and nailing her to the ground.

The latter lay facedown on the stone slab, struggling to get up, but then regained consciousness and let out a heart-wrenching scream. She raised her hands to the surrounding people for help, but they just watched. She screamed miserably, blood pouring from her mouth, her eyes wide open, like a harpooned fish, pinned to the stone street by the Fang Tian Hua Ji.

Qin Hui trembled and suddenly rushed forward to Yang Feng's feet and hugged his legs.

"God, God, these are all orders from the emperor, and I am just doing what he ordered!
It was the Emperor who wanted to kill Marshal Yue, and I was just doing his bidding!

He howled.

He is a smart man.

Of course he knew that Wanyan Gou would make him take the blame.

Before, I just hadn't come out of the past world.

After all, an hour ago, he was the prime minister, second only to the emperor and above all others, holding the power of life and death. But in the blink of an eye, he became a victim of others' slaughter. His mindset had not yet shifted to this point, and he still had some illusions.

But his wife's blood suddenly made him sober.

It's not like he doesn't have this kind of experience.

Then he instantly switched to his state in the Jin Dynasty.

"Go on."

Yang Feng kicked him away.

Qin Hui bumped into the cauldron, and the oil inside was already warm. It overflowed from the shaking caused by his collision and landed on his shoulder. He screamed in pain and quickly crawled away. Then he endured the pain and crawled forward a few steps, lying in front of Yang Feng in the standard posture of Song Jiang in the old Water Margin.

"God, I am truly following orders. Your Majesty wants to negotiate peace with the Jin people, and Marshal Yue wants to march north. The Jin people say that they must kill Marshal Yue before they can negotiate peace, so your Majesty has no choice but to do so. Wang Jun's first accusation was instigated by me. He already had a grudge against Zhang Xian. The secret letter between Zhang Xian and Marshal Yue is a fake, having been burned by Wang Gui. So, I have the final say on whether it's true or not. All that remains is to find a sensible Dali Temple official to torture him severely. As long as Marshal Yue confesses, the fake will become the real thing. He Zhu refuses to take the responsibility, which will inevitably lead to public condemnation. I will replace him with Wanqi Xie."

But I didn't expect that no matter how Marshal Yue tortured him, he just refused to confess. If this continues, I am afraid something unexpected will happen.

The government wants him dead. As long as he dies, I will have completed my mission.

Nothing else matters.

Wanqi Xie said that he would kill him first, it was just a confession, it didn’t matter whether he had it or not, he was dead, who would still hold on to this matter?

I was in a hurry to get my work done, so I agreed."

Qin Hui said.

There was immediately a burst of curses all around.

Yang Feng raised his hand to signal everyone to stop cursing.

"That's all? Nothing else? Doesn't Zhao Gou know the consequences of destroying the Great Wall when facing such a powerful enemy?"

He said.

“Reply to the Immortal, there are no consequences.

The Jin people were no longer able to fight. If Marshal Yue had not been recalled, the Jin people would have been ready to abandon Kaifeng. They failed in their southward advance and could not even defeat Liu Qi and his men. They could not even defend against Marshal Yue. How could they drink from the Yangtze River again?
The emperor has been cautious throughout his life. If he had not understood these things long ago, he would not have dared to kill Marshal Yue.

It was because Marshal Yue was no longer useful to him that he dared to kill him, just like abandoning the rabbit after it is dead."

Qin Hui said.

"Since Marshal Yue was able to recapture Kaifeng and even cross the Yellow River, why didn't he continue the Northern Expedition?"

Yang Feng said.

"God, if Marshal Yue conquered the Yellow River, what would the Jin people do if they wanted to return Emperor Jing Kang? Furthermore, if Marshal Yue conquered the Yellow River and recovered all the old territory, what merit would he receive? When Marshal Yue was feared throughout the world, what would happen if someone emulated Taizu and crowned him with the yellow robe? If Marshal Yue recovered the old territory, would the people of the north recognize him or the government? Furthermore, the old territory in the north has long been devastated. Even if he were to recover it, what would be the benefit? It wouldn't increase taxes for the court, but would only cost more grain. Why would it cost so much grain and take so many risks just to recover the old territory?"

Qin Hui said.

"So you'd rather watch the remaining northerners shed tears in the dust of the barbarians?"

Yang Feng said.

Qin Hui didn't dare to answer.

He couldn't say that these people were no longer considered human in their eyes.

"I still have to blow you up!"

Yang Feng said with emotion.

"God, I have explained everything clearly. You cannot go back on your word!"

Qin Hui said crying.

"Didn't I tell you that if you explain everything clearly, I won't bomb you?"

Yang Feng said.

Qin Hui...

It seems that he really didn’t say that!

"Besides, you haven't explained it clearly. There are some things you haven't said."

Yang Feng stood up with a smile, walked to the Fang Tian Hua Ji and reached out to pull it up. Wang collapsed there with a scream. Yang Feng walked towards Qin Hui. Qin Hui was so scared that he ran away, but the next moment the Fang Tian Hua Ji flew out and instantly pierced his shoulder, carrying him flying, then suddenly turned around and flew directly over the oil pan.

At this time, the oil pan was already very hot, smoke was rising, and a raging fire was burning underneath.

The guy kept adding firewood.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji was hanging in the air, and Qin Hui's feet were half a foot away from the oil surface.

"God, I really said everything."

Qin Hui endured the severe pain and screamed in horror.

But he didn't dare move.

After all, the Fang Tian Hua Ji was just lifting him up, and it would easily slip off if he struggled too much.

His feet were already starting to get hot from the heat from the frying pan.

"Not honest yet!"

Yang Feng shouted.

Qin Hui immediately slipped on his Fang Tian Hua Ji and his feet fell directly into the oil pan.

"what!"

He let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Then he tried his best to lift his feet upwards. Fortunately, the Fang Tian Hua Ji was stable again and he did not slide down. He had no choice but to stay there in this position, shaking with pain, watching the bubbles rising from the oil pan below.

"The emperor has left the palace!"

Suddenly, shouts were heard from the opposite city wall.

Everyone's gaze immediately turned to the city gate, where they saw a dragon chariot being carried out, surrounded by a crowd of ministers. Atop it was a plump, white, middle-aged man in a red robe, his face gloomy as he looked down at the ministers beside him. The ministers clung to the chariot, almost seeming to be carrying it. The eunuchs, however, were squeezed to the outside. The armored generals followed behind, but at a distance, indicating that they were not in the same group. However, that was just a hint. After all, if they really wanted to do something, the ministers in front would definitely not be able to withstand it.

But just as he walked out, a smile appeared on the red-robed man's face.

The dragon chariot landed.

He came down with a look of surprise and walked quickly towards Yang Feng surrounded by his ministers.

But he immediately saw through Qin Hui.

The latter's current state also made him stunned.

"You treacherous minister, I ordered you to investigate the Yue Qing case to find out who framed him and clear his name. I have known Yue Qing for twenty years, and I know his loyalty. Yet, you, out of personal vendetta, tortured him severely, even implicating his family. This is an unforgivable crime. Arrest him immediately and take him to prison for rigorous interrogation."

He shouted with awe-inspiring righteousness.

Then he put on a smile and bowed to Yang Feng.

"I have been meditating in the mountains these days and didn't know the immortal had come. I have neglected the immortal. I beg for forgiveness."

He said.

"He is Zhao Gou?"

Yang Feng said.

Zhao Gou stood there calmly.

"Yes, it's the official family."

"Yes, I met the emperor when I escaped from the palace last time."

……

The people on both sides shouted.

Zhao Gou continued to remain calm.

"Zhao Gou, Qin Hui said that you instructed him to frame Marshal Yue."

Yang Feng said, "Immortal, this treacherous minister is a Jin spy. I just learned about this. The Jin sent him south to infiltrate the court and frame loyal officials. I momentarily failed to detect him and mistakenly trusted him, and I deeply regret it. He said this simply to use you, Immortal, to deal with me. Immortal, rest assured, I will not be fooled by him again. Yue Qing was framed and posthumously granted the title of Prince. His son Yue Yun and son-in-law Zhang Xian were all released and promoted to higher positions."

Zhao Gou said quickly.

"Qin Hui?"

Yang Feng looked at Qin Hui.

The latter couldn't hold on for too long after keeping his legs in the air, and his feet fell into the frying pan again.

"what……"

he screamed.

Then he tried his best to retract his legs.

Zhao Gou couldn't help but shudder.

"God, what he said is nonsense. He instructed me to frame Marshal Yue. His intention was not just to negotiate peace. In the past, in order to resist the Jin army, the court had to delegate power to the generals, which made the generals powerful. He was afraid that someone would follow Taizu's example, so he has been taking away the power of the generals over the years. If the generals have power, they can't fight. Otherwise, they still have to rely on the generals to fight, and they have to delegate power. Therefore, he is eager to negotiate peace. As long as peace is negotiated, the power of the generals can be taken back. The north has been abandoned by him, and he has long wanted to take it back. He is not afraid of the Jin army moving south again. He is afraid that the incident of Taizu will happen again. After all, he knows very well how the Zhao family got the throne.

He had always wanted to find a general to kill to establish his authority. He originally wanted to kill Han Shizhong and wanted Marshal Yue to help him. However, Marshal Yue told Han Shizhong. At that time, he already hated Marshal Yue deeply, so he changed his mind and decided to kill Marshal Yue to establish his authority.

I have indeed stayed with the Jin people, and they are indeed willing to negotiate peace.

That is why I am valued by him.

It was because he knew that his subordinate was sent by the Jin people that he sincerely helped him negotiate peace.

He even said that he would be willing to become a vassal and pay annual tribute to the Jin people, as long as they could negotiate peace.

Qin Hui shouted while enduring the severe pain.

"What nonsense! What nonsense! You, a traitor, are about to die and yet you still want to harm me!"

Zhao Gou said angrily.

"Yes, this treacherous minister is talking nonsense."

"Gods and immortals, please do not listen to his nonsense. This treacherous minister is a spy of the Jin people. How can he tell the truth?"

……

The ministers also followed suit.

It was obvious that they had discussed pushing Zhao Gou out and wanted to put all the blame on Qin Hui. After all, in their view, this evil man was just asking for an explanation for Yue Fei. So they just needed to rehabilitate Yue Fei, release Yue Yun and others, promote them to higher positions, arrest Qin Hui, and everyone would be happy.

What else does he want? Money, women, offerings—they are all trivial matters.

He wouldn't want the Song Dynasty, would he?
"You say he did it all?"

Yang Feng said.

"Yes, it was all done by Qin Hui."

"This treacherous minister deserves death."

……

All the ministers including Zhao Gou shouted immediately.

"So I'll blow him up?"

Yang Feng said.

"fry!"

"Let him fry in the oil!"

……

Then there was another shout.

"You bastards, I know everything you did!"

Qin Hui shouted with grief and indignation.

The next moment, the Fang Tian Hua Ji tilted, and he slipped again as he moved forward, and then everything below his knees fell into the frying pan.

"Ow..."

He howled in pain like a wild beast.

However, Zhao Gou and others breathed a sigh of relief and continued to applaud him for receiving the punishment he deserved with awe-inspiring righteousness.

But the surrounding soldiers and civilians did not react as they did. It was obvious that they had figured out everything in this quarrel between the emperor and his ministers, and they also understood what kind of people these people were. Qin Hui was a spy from the Jin Dynasty, which Zhao Gou must have known. Zhao Gou's purpose of using the Jin Dynasty's spies was to negotiate peace. The purpose of negotiating peace was not because he could not win the battle and wanted to keep half of the country through peace talks, but because he was worried that if the war continued, the power of the military generals would become increasingly greater.

It is more important to guard against military generals than external enemies.

The northern survivors can be abandoned.

You can pay annual tribute.

You can even become a vassal.

It can be said that both the emperor and his ministers were shameless.

"Immortal, I have long admired you. Today you have come to visit me. If there is anyone who can serve you, please feel free to give me your orders."

Zhao Gou looked at Yang Feng with a flattering look.

It was obvious that in his opinion, the problem between the two parties had been resolved.

"Where is Marshal Yue's body?"

Yang Feng said.

Zhao Gou's smile froze for a moment. He stood there somewhat awkwardly, looking at Yang Feng with a questioning look...

What do you want? Didn't you take Yue Fei away? Just tell me what you want. You're being unreasonable!
His eyes were filled with confusion.

"My lord, Marshal Yue's body is missing, but I think some brave warrior rescued him from the fire. We can slowly search for him. There's no rush. Why don't we go into the palace first?"

A purple-robed official next to him said.

"Please come in, Immortal!"

Zhao Gou said quickly.

"I told you that you have to bring Marshal Yue's body."

Yang Feng said.

"Hahahaha, Zhao Gou, do you think he did it just for Yue Fei, ah..."

Qin Hui screamed in the frying pan.

He was still sliding down little by little, and now the pot had been fried past his knees. Although the pot was definitely not deep enough for him to stand in it, his feet and calves should have been fried to the point of losing sensation, so he would gradually end up sitting in it.

Zhao Gou looked at Yang Feng.

On the city walls on both sides, crossbows were quietly aimed at Yang Feng.

"My lord, if I have anything to do, I will do my best."

Zhao Gou is still working hard.

"I want you to go in with him and blow it up."

Yang Feng said.

Zhao Gou turned around and ran without hesitation.

"Kill this monster."

he shouted as he ran.

"put!"

"put!"

……

Roars continued to sound from the city walls.

The next moment was the release of the bed crossbow and the sound of the crossbow arrow breaking through the air.

But Zhao Gou, who was running away, stopped with a scream of horror.

Because suddenly a giant dragon appeared in front of him, with a ferocious head and huge teeth, and a girl on the dragon's back was looking at him coldly.

"So, you were actually prepared to attack me by surprise?"

Yang Feng's voice sounded behind him.

Zhao Gou turned his head tremblingly and looked at the huge arrows scattered around Yang Feng.

His legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

Then he turned around as fast as he could and crawled towards Yang Feng.

"Gods, Gods, it's all these treacherous ministers who are causing this!"

He howled as he crawled.
