371 Ten Deadly Sins
“Thirdly, for the sake of the war in Youzhou and the territory of our Great Zhou, the heir, Yin Huaixi, had no choice but to close the city gate and prohibit private escape. In order to help the battle, he gathered resources wantonly and personally went to the battlefield at the tender age of 10. He fought side by side with his father, King You, and finally eased the situation in Youzhou. When the army ca to help, this thief actually instructed the local officials and nobles to join forces with the Imperial Court to report that King You had gathered his troops and persecuted the people.”
“Fourth, he hard the bloodline of the royal family. This thief stole the military power of Youzhou and ambushed and killed the heir of King You, Yin Huaixi, under his horse on the battlefield. The heir is a relative of the royal family and the nephew of the current emperor. He’s a noble. This thief has risked the world’s condemnation and killed the bloodline of the royal family. The cri is monstrous. It’s not an exaggeration to kill his entire family.”
“The fifth cri is to persecute Consort You and Princess Chengping. This thief took advantage of the fact that the emperor had summoned King You into the capital and the heir had died from an uncontrolled horse. When there were only won and children left in the You Residence, he used the excuse that King You had colluded with the enemy to besiege the You Residence and kill 300 soldiers of the You Residence. He wanted to forcefully barge into the You Residence and humiliate Consort You and the princess. Consort You and the princess were alone and helpless. They took poison and committed suicide. In order to prevent the corpses from being humiliated, he burned the You Residence. When the news spread to the capital, it actually beca Consort You and the princess committing suicide…”
“Sixth, he impersonated a general and the Di people invaded wantonly. The heir’s material assistance saved the situation in Youzhou. The Di people were forced to retreat step by step and we h recovered two lost cities. However, this thief took all the credit for recovering the lost cities. He’s really despicable.”
“The seventh cri is to take advantage of the commoners. This thief is in charge of 300,000 troops in Youzhou and is in charge of the war in Youzhou. However, he’s arrogant and extravagant. He doesn’t want to govern the north and let his soldiers snatch the commoners’ won and tax them harshly, causing the commoners in the north to complain and suffer…”
“The eighth cri is to fill his own pockets and embezzle money from the army. After this thief took over the army of 300,000 soldiers in Youzhou, the soldiers in the army earned less than half of the other soldiers everywhere. The soldiers used their bodies to protect their ho and country, but they couldn’t even support their families…”
“The ninth cri is to use the people as a substitute to seek credit from the Imperial Court. At the end of last autumn, the Di people’s 3,000 cavalry charged into Youzhou City. This thief was drunk and dreaming in his new concubine’s room. When he led the army to resist the enemy, it was too late. The Di people killed and set fire in Youzhou City, causing countless casualties. Blood flowed like a river in Youzhou City, and everything was in ruins. This thief was afraid that the emperor would punish him, so he actually disguised the dead people in the city as the Di people. The corpses of the 3,000 people were dragged out of the city and burned completely. He even shalessly asked the Imperial Court for credit…”
“The tenth cri is to kill an official of the Imperial Court indiscriminately. My father, Ye Xiaoci, from the You Prefecture and the prefecture, joined forces with a group of good ministers from You Prefecture. They wanted to secretly report to the Imperial Court that this thief had replaced the people and asked for credit. They were locked in the residence by this thief. The rest of them were secretly executed. Their nas were written on the list of casualties on the battlefield in an attempt to hide it. I was lucky to escape, but I was treated as a spy who had entered the city and was hunted down…”
The ten cris he reported were heart-wrenching, causing an uproar among the commoners.
It wasn’t until Ye Hanyuan had walked far away and the surrounding commoners had followed that the carriage finally could move.
When Yu Youyao heard his voice, her chest felt suffocated. When the carriage returned to the residence, she was still sitting in the carriage in a daze for a long ti.
There was an indescribable indignation in her chest that she couldn’t say.
She had guessed that there was an inside story behind King You’s death, but she had never expected that a hero with outstanding military achievents would die under such despicable and inferior thods of the court officials.
Chun Xiao looked at Young Miss worriedly. “Young Miss, we’re here!”
Yu Youyao nodded in a daze and asked Chun Xiao to help her out of the carriage.
Perhaps it was because the carriage was too bumpy, but as soon as Yu Youyao got out of the carriage, her legs went limp and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Chun Xiao had the strength to support her.
Seeing that Young Miss’s face was pale and her forehead was covered in sweat, Chun Xiao panicked. “Young Miss, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Yu Youyao shook her head. “Quick, help to An Shou Hall.”
Chun Xiao quickly agreed.
The weather was hot to begin with and Yu Youyao looked very troubled.
Old Madam Yu held her hand and sat down. She pinched her handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead. “Look at how sweaty you are. You must have bumped into Ye Hanyuan!”
Not to ntion a half-grown child, even an old person like her, who had lived for many years, was so shocked that she even dropped a teacup when she heard soone hit the drum.
Once the drum was sounded, blood would flow like a river in the world again!
Nanny Liu brought over so tea. Yu Youyao took it and took a few sips. Then, she told her about Ye Hanyuan’s ten charges against the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence.
Old Madam Yu sighed slightly. “Previously, there was news from the palace that Mr. Xian Yun had brought soone into the palace to et the emperor with the blood of the people of Youzhou.”
After knowing that Mr. Xian Yun had entered the capital, she felt uneasy.
Indeed, sothing happened in a few days.
It was a huge matter.
Yu Youyao was stunned for a mont. She couldn’t help but ask, “Doesn’t Mr. Xian Yun care about nothing in the royal court?”
Old Madam Yu patted her back from ti to ti to calm her down. “Do you know who he brought into the palace?”
Yu Youyao said nothing.
However, Old Madam Yu said in a trembling voice, “It’s the heir of King You, Yin Huaixi.”
“What?!” Yu Youyao exclaid.
Old Madam Yu said in a low voice, “More than three years ago, I an it should have been almost four years, Mr. Xian Yun traveled to Youzhou and set up a precious chess ga in Youzhou. He anted to make friends through chess. However, as the chess ga was too exquisite, there were many people who ca and went, but no one cracked it. Later, this chess ga was cracked by a mysterious young man in disguise. This mysterious young man was the heir of King You, Yin Huaixi. Mr. Xian Yun admired his talent and wanted to take him in as his disciple, but he was rejected by him…”
Yu Youyao’s scalp tingled as she suddenly recalled her conversation with her cousin a few days ago.
“Do you know that Mr. Xian Yun traveled to Youzhou four years ago?”
“Cousin, don’t tell you t Mr. Xian Yun four years ago!”
“I’ve t him once.”
“I heard that Mr. Xian Yun set up a precious chess ga in Youzhou City, but no one cracked it. In the last ga, it was cracked by a mysterious young man. Could that person be Cousin?”
“That longevity peach blossom stone seal of yours was won by when I had a debate with him back then…”
