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

Chapter 27 26 Ye Jinghong

When Magistrate Xue heard this, his face became paler, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes became hollow for a moment.

"Your Majesty the County Magistrate, aren't you telling the truth?" Shen Niannian said in a yin and yang tone: "If the Lord Magistrate doesn't want to say it, we won't force him. The worst we can do is just ignore the matter here."

With that said, she was about to turn around and leave.

Magistrate Xue glanced at Xue Lian on the bed, and then at the puppet lying quietly on the ground.

Gritting his teeth, he still spoke out to stop Shen Niannian.

"Xiangu wait a moment."

Shen Niannian looked at him with a smile on his face.

But her tone was rather cold.

"Since the magistrate is determined to tell you, it's best not to hide anything."

"Otherwise, not even the Great Luo Immortal can save your concubine's life."

Lu Wenyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he looked at Shen Niannian like this.

He stood to one side in great interest, with a warm and gentle smile.

This scene fell into Song Chaoci's eyes.

For a moment, he felt that he had guessed the relationship between Shen Niannian and Lu Wenyan.

It turns out that they are Taoist couples.

No wonder Lu Wenyan stopped him just now.

On the other hand, Yun Zhiheng was the one most accustomed to Shen's changes every year.

You know, he had seen with his own eyes Shen Niannian laughing and crying in the secret realm, pervertedly crossing levels to kill the monster.

Therefore, Yun Zhiheng also helped to threaten: "If Mr. Xue is secretive again this time, we will no longer care about Miss Xue's affairs. You should know that Miss Xue's time is running out."

When Magistrate Xue heard this, he dared to hide it.

Compared to his own life, he obviously cared more about Xue Lian's life.

So, with a white face, he told everything.

"Five years ago, there was a plague in Jiangjun City... I wonder if you all know about it?"

Yun Zhiheng nodded: "Master Xue colluded with merchants to sell Gastrodia elata at high prices..."

"Actually, that rumor is false." Magistrate Xue said, "I was forced to agree to this matter."

"Forced?" Song Chao said: "How can a mere merchant coerce the Lord?"

"This matter is a long story." Magistrate Xue said: "You immortals should know about the previous city lord, right?"

"The last city lord was the orphan of Yongyi Hou Ye's family in the imperial city."

"The Marquis of Yongyi is full of loyal men who sacrificed their lives for the country."

"There is only one young lady left in the Ye family who is proficient in literature, Taoism and martial arts."

Yun Zhiheng recalled something and said, "I remember her name was...Ye Jinghong."

"Yes," Xue County Magistrate sighed: "Ye Jinghong fought with His Majesty in the northwest when he was fifteen years old..."

In the nineteenth year of Jinghe, Ye Jinghong, as a woman, accompanied the emperor on the battlefield. He was a heroine and never lost.

In the twenty-fifth year of Jinghe, Wei won a great victory. The emperor granted Ye Jinghong the title of General Jinghong and garrisoned Furong City. Later, he changed Furong City to General City and made him the master of the city.

"Today's people are suspicious and jealous." Magistrate Xue lowered his voice: "When our country of Wei was first settled, he began to find various reasons to demote meritorious ministers."

"Originally, there was only one person left in the Ye family, Lord Ye, and he was transferred to our small border town... Your Majesty should not be suspicious."

"But who would have known that a celestial phenomenon in Jinghe's twenty-sixth year would make His Majesty want to kill her again."

In the winter of the twenty-sixth year of Jinghe, the purple star fell in the direction of Jiangjun City.

So some treacherous people in the court slandered: Ziwei star is the emperor's star. If the emperor falls in Jiangjun City, it means that someone in Jiangjun City will try to seize the throne.

Jiangjun City is a border place and a small town.

The only big shot is Ye Jinghong.

Therefore, although Emperor Wei did not show it on his face, he had murderous thoughts in his heart.

"Facts have proved that there is something strange about the vision coming from the sky." Magistrate Xue said: "But this strange thing is not a conspiracy to seize the throne, but... a sudden plague raging in Jiangjun City."

In fact, Emperor Wei knew about the plague when it first broke out.

How could such a big thing be concealed from Heaven?

What's more, Ye Jinghong reported this matter to the court early in the morning.

But Emperor Wei had a plan in mind.

He wanted to use this incident to brand Ye Jinghong as a criminal.

In this way, Ye Jinghong, who has lost all public support, can be removed openly.

Therefore, Emperor Wei deliberately revealed his inner tendencies and let Zhou Kun, a treacherous minister, guess.

The ministers speculated on the holy intention, so they sent letters to Magistrate Xue in advance.

Later, Magistrate Xue "colluded" with businessmen, and finally framed the crime on Ye Jinghong. Zhou Kun naturally became the lord of Jiangjun City.

Everything is almost indistinguishable from the rumors.

But the initiator is different.

"City Master Ye has seen through this matter." Magistrate Xue sighed: "So, she was disheartened by His Majesty and committed suicide on the tower."

Pledge of allegiance to the death, and the whole family is loyal.

It's just a joke in the end.

Shen Niannian finally understood why Ye Jinghong killed himself to apologize even though he knew he was being framed.

She was not apologizing, but she was disgusted with the emperor and despaired of imperial power.

"Today's puppet...maybe was sent by Zhou Kun."

Magistrate Xue sighed.

Zhou Kunxu was afraid that he would leak the matter.

In the court, it is difficult to disobey the holy orders.

Since the two of them were the sword in Emperor Wei's hand, it is impossible for them to place the blame for this matter on Emperor Wei's head now.

So, if the incident comes to light, Zhou Kun will become the mastermind and the scapegoat.

Therefore, Zhou Kun would not let him tell this matter.

"Is Zhou Kun a monk?" Song Chaoci frowned.

If this puppet was made by Zhou Kun, wouldn't Zhou Kun's cultivation level be extremely high?

Shen Niannian and Yun Zhiheng were also puzzled by this.

The art of puppetry is nothing but puppetry.

As for the puppet technique... Shen Niannian thought of the puppet silk in her Qiankun bag.

She knew that this puppet technique was extremely difficult to practice. Even Yunxiao, a great expert in the world of immortality, could not learn this puppet technique.

"That's not true." Magistrate Xue shook his head.

"But two years ago, he suffered from a serious illness. After the illness, he became more and more afraid of death, and the mansion began to invite various monks to stay here."

"The life-sustaining pill in my hand was also bought from the monks in his mansion."

"Perhaps he asked the monks to make this puppet."

Lu Wenyan chuckled and said, "That puppet not only describes reality, but also has the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, which is not something that ordinary monks can do."

Shen Niannian glanced at Lu Wenyan.

He was right.

But this made Shen Niannian a little surprised. Why did Lu Wenyan know with the naked eye that the maid was inhuman?
  After all, just now... if Lu Wenyan hadn't revealed a little bit of meaning, she had guessed it right.

She would not be so eager to confirm her suspicions.

So...can Lu Wenyan know puppetry?

Shen Niannian suddenly remembered that when she first met Lu Wenyan, she felt that all her spiritual power was suppressed and she could not move as she pleased.

Could it be that at that time... he was using puppetry to control her?

Shen Niannian was immediately startled when this thought came into his mind.

Magistrate Xue could not answer Lu Wenyan's words.

He is not a cultivator and does not know the differences between various techniques and attainments.

But Yun Zhiheng and Song Chaoci both understood what Lu Wenyan meant.

So, several people left the county magistrate's mansion and headed towards the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion and the county magistrate's mansion are far apart, about half a city apart.

Since there were no teleportation arrays everywhere in the world, and they couldn't wield their swords ostentatiously, they walked all the way there.

On the way, Shen Niannian felt hungry.

Fortunately, she was prepared early in the morning and took out the two large packages of meat buns she packed for breakfast from the Qiankun bag.

During this period, she asked Lu Wenyan and others in a friendly and generous manner if they wanted to eat.

As she expected, these people all said no.

When arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Niannian already had some strength.

It was almost afternoon.

They did not knock on the door of the City Lord's Mansion, because the door of the City Lord's Mansion was open at this time, with white cloth hanging everywhere, and it looked like a funeral was being held.
