No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 302 The Choice of Marquis Dingyang (Part [-])
"Shang?" Yao Chong said in a deep voice, the expression on his face visibly becoming gloomy.

There was silence in the Buddhist hall for a long time before hearing Yao Chong's deep voice: "Bring him in!"

The middle-aged man silently cupped his hands and turned away.

Luo Junyao and Die Ying glanced at each other, and both had a bad premonition in their hearts.Yao Chong's expression quickly turned from cloudy to clear, and he looked at Luo Junyao with a smile and asked, "Jun Yao, who are you talking about?"

Luo Jun shook silent for a moment, and said, "Marquis Dingyang."

Yao Zhong sneered, and said: "He didn't know where he went. He is indeed a famous official of Dasheng, the queen of the Qinan sage. But the whole room is full of people, and it is enough for me to kill myself."

Luo Junyao remained silent. According to the information they found, excluding the matter of Shangyong this time, the number of people Yao Zhong killed was probably several times that of the people who died in the Yao family back then.

The eldest son of the Yao family is indeed very capable, no wonder Gao Zu wanted to suppress him in that way.

Although they all knew that the deaths of those people and the disintegration of their families were all related to Yao Zhong, Yao Zhong never killed a single person from the beginning to the end, and even the evidence related to Yao Zhong was hard to find.

Hatred is the most difficult to solve. The onlookers may think it is enough, but the person involved feels that it will not be enough anyway.

Luo Junyao was thinking, would it be better if His Majesty Gaozu had handled it impartially and announced it to the world as soon as this incident happened back then.

But she also knew that Gaozu couldn't do that at that time.Not only for the reputation of the imperial court and the Marquis of Shang, but also because if the Marquis of Shang and his son were beheaded under such circumstances, the people of Qinan and even the whole world would be in chaos.

Shang Hou and his son saved hundreds of thousands of people in southern Qinan, but they turned around and were killed by the royal family.

No one would consider what Shang Hou and his son did, how many laws they violated, and whether they made their own claims.Ordinary common people only know that Shang Hou was killed by the court in order to save them and give them food.If there is another person who interferes, saying that the royal family and the imperial court are a dead dog, it is unknown whether they will kill people to silence them.

Luo Junyao recalled that in his previous life, there were always many people on the Internet dreaming of returning to the troubled times, killing all directions and making contributions.But the reality is that it is better to be a dog of peace than to be a person in troubled times.Because the most important thing for ordinary people living in troubled times is not to make achievements, but to survive.

It didn't take much time, the middle-aged man who had just left went back and forth, but there was one more person behind him.

Seeing that person, Yao Zhong's gaze suddenly turned cold, "It's you."

That person was none other than the Marquis of Dingyang who was rumored to have disappeared.

Marquis Dingyang was wearing plain clothes, and his hair was combed neatly.

Luo Junyao hadn't had much contact with Marquis Dingyang, but now he took a closer look and found that there were wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, and the hair on his head was much whiter.

Black hair and white hair are mixed together, which looks a bit weird and old.

In terms of age, Marquis Dingyang is actually younger than Yao Zhong, but at this moment he looks much older than him.

Marquis Dingyang glanced at the two people kneeling in the center of the Buddhist hall, and then slowly glanced at the five human heads arranged in a row on the shrine behind Yao Zhong, before he nodded and said, "It's me."

Yao Zhong let out a mocking sneer, "I thought you'd already been hiding."

Marquis Dingyang stepped into the Buddhist hall, his expression still calm, "I just went out of the city to do some errands, and I didn't intend to escape."

"Okay!" Yao Zhong stared at Dingyang Hou with cold eyes and said, "The person surnamed Shang still has a bit of backbone. You were the one who brought people into Yao's house back then?"

Dingyanghou nodded and said calmly: "It's me."

The corners of Yao Chong's lips curled slightly, "Then, I want to kill your whole family, do you have any objection?"

Marquis Dingyang looked away from the eyes of the Buddha statue, closed his eyes and opened them again, and said in a low voice, "I was the one who went to Yao's house back then, my father did not participate, and neither did anyone else in the business."

"Ha." Yao Zhong laughed mockingly, "My Yao family has never killed your merchant."

Dingyanghou's eyes were faintly red, and the expression on his face became extremely complicated.

At that moment, pain, remorse, resentment and helplessness flashed across his face.

Dingyanghou sighed, walked to King Mu and Princess Mu, raised his hand to lift the hem of his clothes, and knelt down on the ground with his knees bent.He bowed respectfully to the spiritual seat on the shrine, and then straightened his back and said: "Master Yao, there is only an old mother and an old wife above me, with two sons and two daughters under my knees. I leave home I have written a letter of divorce to my wife before, and she is no longer a member of my business. The little girl has left the cabinet, and she is not a member of my business. The remaining two sons, I, the father, can't live with them. Just please stay at home For the sake of my mother's advanced age, spare her life. Shang is at your disposal, no matter what."

There was silence in the Buddhist hall, and even King Mu and Princess Mu couldn't help looking at Marquis Dingyang with the expression of looking at a madman.

Looking at the head on the shrine, did Marquis Dingyang think that Yao Zhong would be moved by him and show mercy to him?
Yao Zhong has gone crazy, he really wants to kill someone!

"What a dignified appearance." Yao Zhong said coldly.

Marquis Dingyang gave a wry smile, "Who wants to die if I can live well? Eldest Young Master thinks, do I live well in this life?"

Who was not high-spirited and ambitious when he was young?Unfortunately, his life was ruined more than 20 years ago.After the initial excitement of saving the people from the fire and water subsided, the deeper the pain and guilt became.

At the end of this pain, he couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart.

He hated God, hated his father, hated Gaozu, hated the court, hated the Yao family, and even more hated himself.

He sent his son into the rivers and lakes not only because he hoped that he would be able to protect himself, but also because he really didn't want his son to come into contact with these things again.

Yao Zhong looked at him, and suddenly smiled: "I gave them two choices just now, and now I will give you two choices too. In terms of the merchant's integrity, I don't want you to kill Shang. Those people in the yard, you Look at it and kill it. There are a total of 19 yuan tablets on it, if you choose nineteen people to kill, the hatred between you and me will be forgotten."

Marquis Dingyang was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and smiled wryly: "Why do you care about it? Mr. Yao, why bother to entertain yourself?"

Yao Zhong tilted his head and glanced at Luo Junyao with a smile that wasn't a smile. Luo Junyao slightly pursed his lips, frowned slightly and didn't speak.

Dingyanghou asked: "What is Mr. Yao's other choice?"

Yao Zhong said: "Since you can't stab others, you can always stab yourself, right?"

"Is this true?" Marquis Dingyang asked with downcast eyes.

Yao Zhong said: "Yao Zhong has absolutely nothing to say."

"Okay!" Marquis Dingyang said in a deep voice, before he finished speaking, he had already grabbed the knife on the ground and stabbed himself with his backhand.

"Marquis Dingyang?!" Luo Junyao was taken aback. This old master's temper is too blunt, so he stabbed him as soon as he said it?

Luo Jun took a step forward and grabbed Dingyang Hou's wrist holding the knife.

No matter how fast Luo Junyao was, she was still sitting down, it was still a step too late.The point of the knife pierced Dingyanghou's abdomen a little, and the blood quickly bloomed a blood flower on his plain clothes.

Marquis Dingyang was also taken aback for a moment, and then he looked at Luo Junyao seriously, "Princess Regent, please let me go."

Luo Jun shook his head, "Your Majesty, the royal court is almost over."

"Yaoyao, do you want to save him? You guys may not be able to take him out now." Yao Zhong still said with a smile in his voice.

Luo Jun shook his head and looked at him, "Is this the only way?"

Yao Chong said: "How about letting the imperial court disclose the truth about the Yao family's extermination case back then, escort Dingyanghou to the execution ground, and carry out the official punishment? You can ask him, is he willing?"

Luo Junyao looked at Dingyanghou, Dingyanghou shook his head firmly and said: "Princess, let me go. This matter... should have been settled long ago. Blood feud will eventually be settled with blood. Young Master Yao, it is already considered a It's magnanimous."

Luo Junyao understood the crux of the problem, and the Marquis of Dingyang was unwilling to make the events of that year public.

Whether it is right or wrong, whoever deserves the credit.

However, Marquis Dingyang refused to plead guilty for his father, and the imperial court wanted to protect the reputation of the old Marquis Shang, so how could Yao Chong be reconciled?How can you not hate?

"Silly girl, I'm thinking about Zhifei." Behind Yao Zhong said leisurely: "If Zhifei is here, I will only be in a dilemma."

"There are some things in this world... that no one can have both." Yao Zhong said, "I'm really magnanimous, after all... More than nineteen people died in my Yao family back then."

This 19 yuan tablet is a close relative of the Yao family who died that year.

Marquis Dingyang looked at Luo Junyao, "Princess, thank you very much. But please don't meddle in these matters. I beg you to fulfill the old man and my father's reputation. If you can, please give me a word for Ayue. Let him Forget about these things...take good care of his grandmother and mother and siblings."

Luo Jun shook his eyes a little sorely, and was speechless for a while as if something was stuck in his throat.

After a while, she nodded slightly, stood up and walked towards the door.

Behind her, there was a soft sound of a sharp blade piercing something, followed by a muffled groan from Dingyanghou.

Luo Jun shook his foot and paused, the Buddhist hall was completely silent, as if he could only hear the panting of Marquis Dingyang.

Concubine Mu watched in horror as Marquis Dingyang raised his dagger, and stabbed herself again without hesitation.Blood gushed out, staining the handle of the knife and the hand of Marquis Dingyang holding the knife red, and the clothes on his abdomen were also stained with blood.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

There was a faint sound of fighting outside, and Luo Jun shook his head to look at Yao Chong who was still sitting under the shrine.

Yao Zhong naturally heard it too, but his expression didn't change at all. Instead, he smiled at Luo Jun and said, "Yao Yao, do you want to guess again, who is here?"

Luo Jun didn't answer, just glanced at Marquis Dingyang who was stabbing his abdomen one after another.

Marquis Dingyang had practiced martial arts when he was young, although he was not very brilliant, his body was much better than ordinary dignitaries.But even so, the body of a normal person cannot bear this kind of damage.Even if the vital points are avoided, this kind of injury is enough
to fatal.

Although Dingyanghou has put life and death aside, some things are human instincts, and it is even more difficult to overcome them with will.

It was easy to stab yourself once, but even Luo Junyao felt his scalp tingle a little bit after another like this.

Dingyanghou's movements slowed down visibly to the naked eye, not because he regretted it, but because he simply couldn't continue as neatly as he did at the beginning.

Luo Jun looked at Yao Zhong: You are lying to him.

No one can stab himself a dozen times in one go. It's not as simple as making more than a dozen cuts in his body, but stabbing it really.

Luo Junyao thought he couldn't do it, even Xie Yan might not be able to do it.

Yao Zhong smiled and remained silent.

Luo Jun turned around and walked out.
