Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 327

Slaughter Songzhou City!
As soon as these words were uttered, it was like a thunderbolt exploding above Fan Chengen's head. For a moment, he froze in place, his face pale and his figure swaying.

After a while, he looked at Yu Wenye with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you crazy?! The people here are innocent!"

Yu Wenye said calmly and without a trace of warmth: "My wife is also innocent."

"..."

"The nine clans you want to kill her are all innocent."

Speaking of this, his eyes flickered, and he chuckled again, and said: "Her relatives, I believe you are no stranger to Mrs. Fan. Shen Shiyan, the former governor, was dismissed from office and exiled because he advised His Majesty to stop attacking Liaodong. Come to think of it, he I have a great friendship with Mr. Fan."

"...!"

Fan Chengen's breathing became disordered.

How could he not know about Shen Shiyan? Although he was exiled to Songzhou first, and the two of them were ministers in the same palace for a short time, he also heard later that Shen Shiyan, Pei Xie and others also committed crimes against Yan Jin in order to prevent the emperor from conquering Liaodong. He was directly dismissed from office and exiled. His situation was bleak, and his heart was deeply saddened by them.

Shang Ruyi deserved to die for the crime of killing the king, but if he really wanted to implicate the nine clans, Shen Shiyan and others would also be implicated. How innocent is he?

Thinking of this, Fan Chengen's heart as firm as a stone trembled.

At this time, Yu Wenye said coldly again: "If you insist on touching my wife, then I, Yu Wenye, can only sacrifice the lives of innocent people in this city to be buried with her and me!"

"you--!"

Fan Chengen was so anxious that he was in a mess. He clenched his fists, took two steps left and right, looked back at Yu Wenye, and said eagerly: "You can kill me, my whole family! Nothing to do!"

Yu Wenye said expressionlessly: "It's useless to say anything, because the news has already been sent."

"..."

"The only one who can make a choice now is you, Mr. Fan, and you have only two choices - one is to choose to insist on killing me and my wife, and then, you will be buried with the people of the entire Songzhou City."

"..."

"The second is to let us go, so that you and the people of this city can continue to live."

"..."

"You choose."

His words not only frightened Fan Chengen, but also frightened the surrounding soldiers.

The hands holding the swords of those people also began to tremble.

You know, these people are almost all natives of Songzhou, not only they themselves were born in the city, but also their family members are here, there is nowhere to go in the troubled times, and only under the rule of Fan Chengen can they live in peace for a few days; If Lord Sheng really wanted to massacre the city, what they did today would be nothing more than a knife that would be raised around their necks tomorrow.

Thinking of this, these people became frightened.

You know, they can ignore what other people say, but Yu Wenye is the most powerful son of Sheng Guogong Yu Wenyuan, if he really dies here, Yu Wenyuan will definitely not let it go.And now he—

Thinking of this, no one dared to think any further.

Among them, those closest to Fan Chengen couldn't help saying softly: "My lord, please think twice."

"Yes, my lord, the people in this city are all innocent."

"My lord, the matter of His Majesty's being murdered is over, and now there is—" before the man finished speaking, Fan Chengen gave him a red-eyed stare, and he was so frightened that he swallowed the rest of the words forcefully, trembling After a while, he changed his tune again: "My lord, we still want to live."

"Yeah, we want to live..."

Each of these people had pleading and earnest expressions on their faces, and Fan Chengen's heart ached even more when he saw it.

Could it be that the lives of the people in this city are really used to pave the way for revenge for the emperor?

He was an honest and honest official all his life, loyal to the emperor and the country. After knowing that the emperor was killed, he wanted to avenge the emperor he was loyal to. However, he also loved the people like a son. Compared with being loyal to the emperor, the lives of the people in this city were his Can't put it down.

At this moment, he seemed to be standing in the center of the balance, and it was wrong to go either way.

At this time, he was obviously holding the sword and the army by his side, but Fan Chengen was sweating profusely, as if he had been driven to a desperate situation, and Yu Wenye in front of him, even if he was standing alone in the medical hall, looked like a The unshakable mountain, no matter what he tried, he couldn't surpass this man, let alone avenge the emperor he was loyal to.

Fan Chengen gritted his teeth and said, "You, don't you fear being punished by God for killing innocent people like this?"

Yu Wenye said: "Not afraid."

"you--"

If he said a few more words, Fan Chengen might still be able to argue with him, but the word "not afraid" is simple and neat, but it also fully expresses his ruthless determination.

At this time, one of the most timid and fearful soldiers dropped the knife in his hand in a panic, knelt down at Fan Chengen's feet, and begged: "Master Fan, you must not abandon us. They are all innocent!"

When he knelt like this, the people around him put down their swords and knelt down one after another.

For a while, the voice of begging was endless.

Amidst the kneeling pleadings of these people, Fan Chengen stood still on the spot, motionless—but he wasn't really motionless, he just stood there stiffly and couldn't move, but a pair of hands hanging by his sides were exerting force. Clenched tightly, the veins on the back of the hand bulged, and the whole person seemed to be a bow stretched to the limit, and it was about to collapse.

At this time, a deep voice sounded beside his ears, and said lightly: "The dead are gone, the living can be chased."

Hearing these words, Fan Chengen's whole body trembled violently, as if the taut string had snapped at this moment, and suddenly, his whole body drooped, as if all the strength in his body had been sucked away. When he looked up at Yu Wenye again, his face was pale and his eyes also turned gray.

He said: "You go."

Yu Wenye looked up at him.

I saw that Fan Chengen's face was pale, and he felt like he had been sucked out of his soul. The armor on his body seemed to crush him.He lowered his head and said weakly: "Actually, even if I really killed the regicide today, it's too late. I did this just to repay His Majesty's kindness for the last time. I just didn't expect that -"

Having said that, he laughed at himself.

While laughing, shaking his head helplessly, he slowly turned and walked into the crowd.As for the other soldiers, they all breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, as if they had just recovered their lives from the Temple of Yama. They slowly stood up, and some of them wanted to say something to Fan Chengen, but they didn't know how to say it.

Everyone could only watch him leave slowly.

But at this moment, Yu Wenye suddenly said: "Master Fan, I have something to ask you."

Fan Chengen's footsteps froze, but he didn't turn his head, he just turned his back to him and said, "What else do you want to say?"

Yu Wenye said: "When did you get the so-called news of my wife's 'regicide'?"

The word "regicide" was more like a knife, piercing into his heart from behind. Fan Chengen shook his body, raised his head and took a long breath before saying, "Just today .”

"today?"

Yu Wenye's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said: "Then I have something to tell Mr. Fan."

Fan Chengen turned around slowly and looked at him without any emotion: "Say it."

Yu Wenye said: "My wife is a woman, if she really assassinated His Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for her to escape unscathed."

"..."

"Your Majesty was assassinated. Why didn't Wang Shaoji, who is His Majesty's guard, and his imperial guards avenge His Majesty like your lord? Moreover, the news they announced to the world has arrived here, but people are still staying in Jiangdu. Why? "

"...!?"

Fan Chengen was startled suddenly, and looked at him with wide eyes.

"You mean—"

"I didn't say anything,"

Yu Wenye said indifferently: "The world is in chaos, fish and dragons are mixed, Mr. Fan puts the people first, which is the blessing of the people in this city. However, Mr. Fan also needs to distinguish right from wrong, and choose a tree from a good bird, in order to protect yourself and even more in this chaotic world. The people of this city."

"..."

"I, that's all I can say."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to Fan Chengen politely.

Seeing Yu Wenye's well-founded appearance, Fan Chengen seemed to be in a daze, he was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "General..."

Yu Wenye looked up at him.

Originally, he thought what Fan Chengen was going to say, but after calling out the three words "General", he was taken aback, as if this title was a bit funny, he smiled lightly, and said again: "Second Young Master."

"..."

Yu Wenye frowned slightly, as if he had sensed something.

But he only said: "What advice does Master Fan have?"

Fan Chengen looked at him for a while, then slowly said: "Second Young Master is indeed a dragon and phoenix, I, Fan Chengen, obey you."

"..."

"I can withdraw my troops immediately, and I also ask the second son to withdraw your message. Don't encourage your father to slaughter Songzhou City. After all, he is now—"

Having said that, his words froze,
Yu Wenye said: "What?"

But Fan Chengen hesitated for a moment, then suddenly laughed at himself, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

As she said that, as if she didn't care about anything, she turned around and waved lightly at him, saying, "You guys go away. I, I won't do anything to you any more."

His decadent figure slowly disappeared into the crowd.

As for the other soldiers, they didn't stop any longer at this time. They all picked up the swords that had just been thrown aside, turned around and left silently.

Yu Wenye stood where he was, frowning and watching the backs of these people leaving, but he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in his heart.

seem……

However, he quickly dispelled his thoughts.

For him, when faced with something that he is not sure about, the most important thing to do is not to speculate, but to find the truth immediately. This is the most direct and effective solution.

So, he turned around and walked towards the inner room, just as he stretched out his hand to open the curtain, he was taken aback for a moment.

Shang Ruyi was standing at the door of the inner room, looking up at him at this moment.
