The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 146 I will not allow anyone to pollute them

Chang Lingyue didn't know that Lin Shanjuan had already entered the city before him and was waiting for an opportunity in a corner with the imperial edict in his hand.

He saw his men approaching with a carriage from the low wall and sneered, "Open the city gate!"

The carriage was led into a narrow alley by the soldiers as planned. On the left was a small courtyard that looked shabby and cramped. The soldiers pushed the door open with great force. The Duke of Xingguo lifted the curtain and began to perform: "Where is this!"

The soldier whipped out a large knife and put it to his neck: "Stop talking nonsense! Old man, don't you see who's surrounding you? You're still showing off your power here! Get out of the car now!"

Duke Xingguo acted angry but helpless, and angrily helped his wife out of the car.

"My child is seriously ill. If you want money..."

"Go in! Stop talking nonsense!"

Duke Xingguo was pushed into the yard and saw Chang Lingyue sitting there with his legs crossed and drinking tea.

"You——" Duke Xingguo was really emotional this time, "You little beast! As expected, you are a bastard! I should have stabbed you a long time ago! %￥%…………&"

After all, he was a military commander, and there was no "subtlety" in his scolding. The Duke's wife felt embarrassed just listening to his scolding.

Chang Lingyue's face flushed red as he slammed the table. "You old fool! If you curse me one more time, I'll cut off your tongue and then kill you. Do you believe it?"

Duke Xingguo simply refused to listen. If we talk about slapping the table, his slap was not a gummy bear. He slapped the table directly, breaking it into pieces. The tea fell to the ground, and dust rose up, choking Chang Lingyue and making him cough.

He roared, "Tie this old man up! Gag him!"

The rest of the people came over in a hurry, and Duke Xingguo was furious. His temper from his youth had become even more violent after so many years of settling down.

He kicked one of them over and said, "You traitors! You take the salary from Jingguo and follow this son of a bitch like lackeys! Where's your military integrity? Where's your military blood? A bunch of %￥...￥&..."

This indiscriminate attack stopped everyone. No one dared to step forward, and some even hesitated and retreated.

Chang Lingyue was so angry that he simply took action himself. After all, the Duke of Xingguo was outnumbered, so he was tied up and stuffed with cloth strips and thrown aside, but he still made a "wuuu wuuu" sound, and the cursing sounded even more unpleasant.

Chang Lingyue ignored it for the moment, glanced in the direction of the carriage, and snorted coldly: "Search for my jade pendant, and kill these two old men."

He drew his knife and ran straight to the carriage. The tip of the knife lifted the curtain, and just as he had inserted half of the blade, he felt an extremely strong pulling force.

Ye Xi grasped the back of his knife and pulled hard, causing the defenseless Chang Lingyue to stagger. Then he kicked Chang Lingyue hard, knocking him to the ground.

Chang Lingyue was startled and ignored the pain. He drew out his subordinate's sword and chopped directly at the curtain.

With a "clang" sound, Chang Lingyue was shocked to see the knife in his hand being cut into two pieces, and then a foot suddenly appeared in front of him, and was kicked to the ground the next second.

He knew that he had been tricked. At this point, the only way to ensure absolute safety was to use the advantage of numbers to bully the minority and kill everyone.

"Do it!"

At the command, many soldiers rushed into the courtyard. Ye Xi threw the quilt on the ground and revealed his true face.

Chang Lingyue endured the severe pain and tried to get up, but Ye Xi kicked him in the throat with her toes. She used her strength skillfully and did not cause serious injury, but only made Chang Lingyue choke and cough continuously. The next second, he was stepped firmly on the ground.

"Ye...Sister Ye Xi!"

Only at this moment did Chang Lingyue realize that the conditions he proposed to Ye Lang were too rash!

At the very least, he should ask Ye Lang to hold Ye Xi back!

Ye Xi ignored him, sweeping a dignified gaze over the crowd, and spoke with a resounding voice: "I am the Princess of Annan. If you continue to resist, I will kill you without mercy."

Even though she was alone and surrounded by everyone, everyone was so frightened by what she, Princess Annan Ye Xi, said that they dared not move.

Chang Lingyue has no way out. Originally, it was just a fight between him and Sun Yuze, but after his own planning, it has now escalated to the level of "murdering a high-ranking official of the court."

Now he was going to die anyway, so he had to fight back with all his might!

Chang Lingyue grabbed a handful of sand and threw it upwards: "Whoever kills her will take my place!"

Ye Xi was blinded by the sand, and Chang Lingyue took the opportunity to escape. He drew out a steel knife and was about to chop Ye Xi, but a feather arrow flew from nowhere and went straight through his two arms.

Without bias, he put the shackles on his forearms.

"what--"

"The imperial decree is here—"

Bai Shu read aloud the contents of the imperial edict, dismissed Chang Lingyue from his post as captain, and captured him on the spot.

The officials of the Qingzheng Division pushed open the gate and rushed into the courtyard aggressively. They stood on both sides to make way for Lin Shanjuan, and then all drew their swords to confront the Tianmen Pass guards in the courtyard.

Lin Shanjuan was wearing an eagle-embroidered robe and holding the "love" bow given to her by Ye Xi, and she walked lightly into the yard.

Duke Xingguo excitedly "woooooed" at her. Lin Shanjuan was stunned for a second, and then hurriedly used a knife to cut the rope on his body.

The Duke's wife finally broke free and ran over to help him up. When the Duke of Xingguo stood up, he took off the cloth from his mouth and started cursing!

"You little bastard! I'm going to chop you up today!"

Chang Lingyue stared at the bow and arrow in Lin Shanjuan's hand, not knowing whether it was because of pain or shock, but he couldn't say a word.

"you--"

Lin Shanjuan casually handed the bow to Bai Shu, and Ye Xi's vision finally returned to clarity. He tilted the knife in his hand slightly, and such a subtle movement revealed Ye Xi's murderous intent.

Chang Lingyue was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to move his hands, as any movement would cause tearing pain.

"You...you still want to kill me? My...my father is the Duke of Sui. How dare you...how dare you?"

Lin Shanjuan was amused by him. He put his elbow on Ye Xi's shoulder and looked at him sarcastically: "Duke Sui? Do you think he is still Duke Sui?"

Chang Lingyue was both angry and annoyed: "Lin Shanjuan! You—don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Lin Shanjuan put on a meaningful smile and approached Chang Lingyue step by step. Chang Lingyue wanted to retreat, but he gritted his teeth and didn't move, looking into her eyes.

Lin Shanjuan walked a few steps towards him and suddenly raised his hand to pull his arm.

The feather arrows tore at his flesh, causing him so much pain that tears came out.

He angrily faced Lin Shanjuan's evil smile. The look in his eyes, playing with his prey, chilled his heart, and he unconsciously restrained his cursing:

"...Lin Shanjuan! Don't go too far!"

Duke Xingguo couldn't stand it any longer, so he picked up his clothes and kicked him to the ground: "Bullying you? I want to kill you!"

Chang Lingyue was in so much pain that he couldn't speak and fainted.

Lin Shanjuan gave a sarcastic smile, then turned to be more polite when facing the Duke of Xingguo.

"Afterwards, I will trouble you, Duke Xingguo, to personally write a memorial and submit it to His Majesty. I will take this person back to the Ministry of Justice first."

The Duke of Xingguo was also very grateful and bowed deeply: "This time, it is all thanks to your Majesty's extraordinary wit. From now on, everyone in the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion will remember the life-saving grace of Your Majesty and His Highness Xihe!"

Is this taking sides?

Lin Shanjuan curled his lips. He didn't expect that he could not only destroy Ji Shihan's other hand, but also get the support of Duke Xingguo.

There are two dukes in the court. If one falls and the other is taken in, wouldn't that bring her closer to her goal?

After Lin Shanjuan thanked him, he watched as Duke Xingguo and his wife returned to their residence. Sun Yuze, who had secretly moved down the mountain shortly after the others left, also returned to Duke Xingguo's residence at about the same time, having escaped unharmed.

Lin Shanjuan ordered his men to stuff Chang Lingyue, who looked like a dead dog, into a prison van, cover it with a black cloth, and then take him back to the Qingzheng Division.

"Find someone to check his injuries, then shave his head, change his clothes, and lock him up somewhere else. If you can make him sleep, don't let him wake up. When you bring him to trial, that's when you can wake him up."

There are countless methods in prison. Although she doesn't know much about them, she can still easily meet this requirement.

Qi Zhen and Bai Shu agreed in unison, and Lin Shanjuan and Ye Xi also rode back to the hunting palace.

It was already late at night when they arrived at the hunting palace. The imperial guards on duty at the door did not stop them when they saw that it was them.

Ye Xi was anxious to ask Ye Lang what was going on, while Lin Shanjuan was anxious to report to Qi Zhaomian that he was safe.

The two looked at each other, and Ye Xi took the initiative to say: "I will come to find you after returning to Beijing tomorrow!"

Lin Shanjuan nodded, watched Ye Xi turn the horse's head, but was still worried, so he called her to stop and then walked the horse in front of her.

"how?"

"No matter what answer you get, Ye Lang's actions have nothing to do with you, nor with the Ye family. Don't burden yourself."

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Don't worry, although I respect my brother, I will never allow him to do anything that will harm the Ye family and Jingguo."

Lin Shanjuan nodded, and then went straight to the eldest princess's tent without looking back.

Ye Xi knew that her decisiveness was a reflection of her ultimate trust in herself.

Shan Juan, whether it is the glory of the Ye family or the honor and disgrace of Jingguo, they are the things that I care about most in my blood.

No one, I will not allow anyone, to try to pollute them.

"drive!"
