After I committed myself to the yandere villain, the male protagonist turned evil

Chapter 16 15 Old Events in General City (pk for collection) Third update

"Ahem, I'll tell you later." Shen Niannian prevaricated: "For now, let Yun Zhiheng come in and talk about business."

Shen Niannian felt quite guilty, so she opened the door first.

The moment the door opened, Yun Zhiheng showed a shocked expression.

"you……"

He was shocked... Shen Niannian and Lu Wenyan were actually in the same room?

Shen Niannian understood what he was thinking and immediately made up a reason.

"It's not safe in the city now," Shen Niannian said seriously, "Brother Lu was afraid that I would be disturbed by evil spirits, so he specially protected me."

As she said that, she turned her head and quickly looked at Lu Wenyan.

Seeing that Lu Wenyan, as always, had no intention of exposing her, he felt relieved again.

I have to say that Lu Wenyan is excellent in this regard.

No matter what lies she tells, he can keep calm and not expose them.

Unexpectedly, she just praised him in her heart, and saw Lu Wenyan asked her seriously: "Just now, Miss Shen said she liked me... but is it true?"

He looked happy and showed no emotion at all.

Ordinary ones are like asking: How is the weather today?
  Yun Zhiheng was shocked again.

As soon as he believed Shen Niannian's words, Lu Wenyan exploded with thunder.

"I...did I come at the wrong time?" Although he said this, he still watched eagerly, eager to join in the excitement between Shen Niannian and Lu Wenyan.

Who doesn’t have a heart for gossip?
  Especially the love-hate entanglement related to the wretched and perverted sister Nian Nian...

Where does Shen Niannian still have thoughts about taking care of Yun Zhiheng?

The next moment, she saw her holding Lu Wenyan's neck with one hand, quickly covering his mouth with the other hand, and lowering her voice.

"Didn't I say we'll talk about it later? Let's talk about serious things now."

At the end of her words, there was a hint of grit in her voice.

Lu Wenyan's fingertips curled up slightly.

Shen Niannian was very close to him, and the two of them seemed to be hugging each other through their clothes. The intimacy made his back stiffen.

Is this what it feels like to be held by someone?

He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

Shen Niannian's palm touched his lips. The touch was moist and hot, with a hint of fragrance.

Seeing that he lowered his eyes and said nothing, Shen Niannian continued to use the strongest tone and speak the most humble words.

"Brother, I beg you, do your business first, okay?"

Lu Wenyan has no emotional intelligence at all and talks nonsense regardless of the occasion.

"Okay." Lu Wenyan arched his eyebrows, his expression unchanged throughout the process.

Shen Niannian breathed a sigh of relief, then let go of his hand and distanced himself from Lu Wenyan.

She didn't blush and said to the gossipy Yun Zhiheng without her heart beating: "I admire Brother Lu very much, so I can't help but be a little impatient and make you laugh."

Although it is said to be in the world of immortality, women are women after all, and most of them are thin-skinned.

Yun Zhiheng has seen many female cultivators from aristocratic families and various sects, but there has never been one who is as direct, tough and perverted as Shen Niannian.

The time that Shen Niannian and Lu Wenyan got to know each other was not even as long as the time that he and Lu Wenyan got to know each other.

However, Yun Zhiheng's receptive ability is very strong, and he actually quite appreciates Shen Niannian's courage and action.

He secretly raised his eyebrows at Shen Niannian, and gave a thumbs up to Shen Niannian where Lu Wenyan couldn't see him.

"Sister Nian Nian, you are also a great weirdo." Yun Zhiheng admired sincerely.

Shen Niannian: "..."

Thanks for 'praising' her so much.

She twitched her lips, and then motioned for Yun Zhiheng to enter the room.

The three of them quickly chatted about business.

Yun Zhiheng first told what he had heard. About the evil that Magistrate Xue committed five years ago.

Five years ago, a plague broke out in Jiangjun City.

At that time, the epidemic was raging, and people in the city fell one after another.

Officials are most afraid of the spread of disease.

Once the epidemic becomes serious and spreads to the imperial court, an official will be detained for dereliction of duty.

At the beginning, Magistrate Xue was naturally afraid, so after the epidemic occurred and more than 20 people died.

He decisively ordered that the remaining infected people be imprisoned in the suburbs to avoid the spread of the disease.

Fortunately, a cultivator passed by Jiangjun City, claiming that he was from the Divine Medicine Sect, and made a prescription.

Magistrate Xue was hesitant and tried it out.

What was gratifying then was that the medicine really worked, and the people who were infected with the disease gradually improved.

"It...it seems like Magistrate Xue didn't do anything excessive." Shen Niannian was a little confused.

"The epidemic is just an introduction." Yun Zhiheng shook his head and said: "In that prescription, there is Gastrodia elata, which is produced in the southwest..."

Things in the world, once rare items are available, will easily encourage people's greed.

A wealthy household in the city saw a way to make a profit, so they prepared generous gifts and drank tea with Magistrate Xue for half a day.

Three days later, the epidemic that was supposed to be stopped in Jiangjun City suddenly spread. And it is even worse than before, almost intensified.

The disease spreads rapidly, and those who were not infected began to become infected.

Wealthy households have long monopolized the sales channels of Gastrodia elata and set high prices.

When the people got the prescription and contracted the disease, they had to buy medicine to treat the disease.

Over time, the rich made a lot of money.

Some people were angry and complained to Magistrate Xue.

Unexpectedly, there was collusion between officials and businessmen. Magistrate Xue claimed that he was ill and neglected official duties, and allowed the matter to develop.

The poor people at home could not afford that gastrodia elata, so they died of the epidemic.

The treacherous and cunning Magistrate Xue, after harvesting the leeks, reported to the court that there was a shortage of medicinal materials due to the epidemic, and reported it to Tianting, begging the court to dispatch the medicinal materials.

It took more than a month for the medicinal materials allocated by the imperial court to arrive in Jiangjun City.

Along with the medicinal materials, there was also a batch of pension money and a supervisory censor who came to supervise.

At that time, Magistrate Xue acted as a good official who loved the people like his own son and sold a lot of good things.

This epidemic is over.

Magistrate Xue put all the pension money into his own private treasury.

But almost a hundred people died for this.

"Isn't there a city lord in General City?"

Shen Niannian knew that Jiangjun City was located on the border and it was impossible for the court to arrange only one county magistrate.

In order to be able to supervise each other, power is divided.

The imperial court also arranged for a city lord in this small area.

"The current city lord is the supervisory censor from five years ago?" Lu Wenyan asked.

Yesterday, when he was drinking tea at the inn, he heard a few big men at the next table talking about this matter in a low voice.

It is said that the city lord will be transferred back to the capital after five years in office. I don't know what will happen to the new city lord by then.

"Yes." Yun Zhiheng continued: "The original city lord of General City was implicated in the epidemic five years ago. I heard that in order to apologize, she committed suicide in front of the city tower. The imperial court then asked the supervisory censor to temporarily act as the city lord. Job…”

The imperial court changed the city lord every few years, in fact, to prevent the city lord from colluding with the county magistrate.

But what people didn't expect was that the city lord and the county magistrate... had colluded together from the very beginning, and placed all the stigma on the previous city lord.
