Bamboo horse is king

Chapter 196 News from Lin'an

Gu Liangdie suddenly looked around and said in a low voice, "Jue'er, I heard that the king has a tyrannical temperament and kills people without blinking an eye. Is this true?"

Shen Jue'er paused holding the wine glass, and said casually, "Didn't you see it with your own eyes that day? You almost lost your life!"

"That's right!" Gu Liangdie's eyes flickered slightly, "For those of us who didn't commit any serious crimes, he directly killed them, but for those who committed serious mistakes, or special people, shouldn't they be caught in the dungeon? tortured to death?"

"By the way, is the dungeon in Zunwang's Mansion scary?" There was no fear on Gu Liangdie's face, but there was a strong thirst for knowledge in his eyes.

Something flashed in Shen Jue'er's eyes, and she took a deep look at Gu Liangdie, "Xiaodie is very interested in the dungeon of Zunwang Mansion?"

Gu Liangdie smiled embarrassedly, and stuck out her tongue, "I'm just curious about how cruel Zunwang's methods are, so that people in the capital are afraid of him when they mention him."

Shen Jue'er raised her eyebrows slightly, and said calmly, "You want to see? Don't you feel scared?"

"I don't feel scared! In fact, my brother is similar to Zunwang, both have a cruel side, but my brother likes to laugh, the happier he laughs, the more miserable the people who offend him."

"It's said that Zunwang is terrible, I can't help but compare him with my brother, so..."

……

For several days in succession, Gu Liangdie came to look for Shen Jue'er. Except for the first day, she expressed her curiosity about the dungeon of Zunwang's Mansion, but in the next few days, she never mentioned Zunwang's Mansion again.

Zunwangfu, Moyuan Palace

Mu Jingyuan was sitting on a chair, holding a carving knife in his hand, and was carving Shen Jue'er's wood carving with a focused expression.

Luo Yifan sat beside him with a solemn expression, "The news just came that Lin'an City has become a dead city!"

Mu Jingyuan paused, looking at Luo Yifan with dark eyes, "Dead City?"

"Chu Moyang sent news that the chaos in Lin'an was quelled, but..." Luo Yifan's expression darkened for a moment, "Do you know what method he used to quell the riot?"

"He actually made people poison the well, poisoning all the rebels to death, tens of thousands of people, all poisoning to death."

"Before he left Lin'an, he had someone seal the city gate to prevent anyone from leaking the news."

"Accordingly, the situation is not so serious, but the corpses of the people he poisoned to death were not disposed of. Under the scorching sun, they began to rot, which in turn caused the plague."

"The local officials were terrified, and those powerful people fled Lin'an one after another, so that the plague would spread to other places, and even set fire to the city... In just a few days, Lin'an became a dead city."

When Luo Yifan said these things, he felt depressed. He is not a good person, but he is not so devoid of conscience. Sometimes he doesn't understand when people's hearts become so...terrible!
"Jing, the news hasn't reached the capital yet, and that kid Chu Moyang is coming back soon, what should we do with him?"

Mu Jingyuan pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were deep, "What about other towns? How's the situation?"

"The news hasn't come yet, but I can imagine that the situation is not optimistic!"

"Where's King Liang? Is he coming soon?"

Luo Yifan frowned, "It is reasonable to arrive in the capital in three days, but there is no King Liang in Xiliang's team, I suspect he has already entered the capital!"

Mu Jingyuan didn't say anything, and continued to sculpt, his expression was still so focused, and there was still tenderness in his eyes.

Luo Yifan was speechless, "I said, now that the fire is burning, do you still have the mood to do such boring things?"

For Mu Jingyuan, big things are not as important as coaxing Shen Jue'er.
