PFC Chapter 16 Ye Yuhang Kills Liu Siyuan
Chapter 16 Ye Yuhang Kills Liu Siyuan
Ye Yuhang's body stiffened, then he gave a helpless bitter smile.
He gently rubbed his daughter's head, a tender look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
"Silly child, those are all things of the past."
"Isn't Father perfectly fine?"
He originally intended to keep it a secret for life, but he never expected that the secret would still be exposed.
"No, you are a great hero, a great hero!"
Ye Lingyu raised her head, her eyes sparkling.
At that moment, the door was pushed open.
Li Lizhi arrived with Ye Shuyao and Ye Qingwan.
They had obviously heard the conversation as well.
The three girls quickly burst into tears and rushed into Ye Yuhang's arms.
"Father, from now on, Shuyao will take the fall for you!"
"Father, let Qingwan blow on it for you, it doesn't hurt anymore..."
Li Lizhi stood to the side, her eyes slightly red.
But she forced herself not to shed a tear.
She walked to Ye Yuhang's side and gently took his arm.
"Alright, children,"
What Dad needs most right now is to wash his face and have a meal.
She smiled and shook her head, looking at the clothes of the father and his three daughters, which were stained with snot and tears.
"Look at you guys, you just changed your clothes, and now I have to wash them again."
As night deepened, and the daughters fell into a deep sleep under Li Lizhi's coaxing,
The tenderness in Ye Yuhang's eyes gradually faded.
He quietly left the house and stood in the courtyard for a long time.
In the dense forest outside the valley,
Two dark figures flashed behind him in an instant and knelt on one knee.
"Chieftain."
The two men spoke in extremely low voices, but their tone was filled with absolute loyalty.
They were from Liuyun Village, and also from the area after that crushing defeat years ago.
Ye Yuhang gathered together the survivors and refugees.
On the surface, they are bandits who rule the mountains, but in reality, they have been secretly investigating the truth of what happened back then.
"You found it?"
Ye Yuhang stood with his hands behind his back, his voice icy.
"Found it, the commander of the government troops back then."
Now transferred to a civil service position, he is none other than Liu Siyuan, the county magistrate of Qingyang City.
A burly man handed over a sealed letter, stamped with the distinctive wolf head mark of the Tibetans.
"Moreover, he has recently been in contact with the third prince of Tibet,"
They intend to offer up the defense map of Qingyang City.
Ye Yuhang took the letter, glanced at it, and his expression changed drastically.
Every word on it is filthy blood of those who betray their country for personal gain.
"Are you going to use the people of this city as stepping stones for wealth and power?"
He sneered, and the secret letter in his hand was instantly crushed into powder.
"Chief, come down from the mountain!"
The brothers have been waiting for this day for ten years!
The two burly men pressed their foreheads to the ground, their voices low and filled with grief and indignation.
"The blood debts of yesteryear must be paid for with lives!"
Ye Yuhang remained silent for a long time, then looked at his sleeping wife and daughter inside the house.
Then he looked towards Qingyang City in the darkness in the distance.
"Pass down the order to reorganize the troops."
Tonight... I will personally go to collect the debt.
He turned and went into the secret chamber, taking out the long-forgotten silver spear.
And that powerful bow, as black as ink.
When he stepped out of his house, Li Lizhi was standing quietly outside the door.
She didn't stop him; she simply stepped forward and gently straightened his collar.
"I knew this day would come sooner or later."
She tilted her head back, her eyes filled with tender affection.
"Come home safely, the children and I are waiting for you at home."
Ye Yuhang gently kissed his wife's forehead before leaping into the darkness.
The residence of the county magistrate in Qingyang City.
Ye Yuhang pressed himself against the cold wall, his figure barely visible.
His brows were constantly furrowed, and his eyes revealed undisguised disgust.
The tiles on the courtyard wall were broken and incomplete, and the gaps were filled with withered yellow weeds.
The entire mansion was deathly still, without even a decent red lantern hanging.
If an ordinary person were to pass by, they would surely marvel at the owner's integrity and frugality.
But Ye Yuhang knew in his heart that this was nothing more than a human skin draped over a demon.
The more deliberately simple something is, the more likely it is to conceal unspeakable darkness.
He groped his way forward in the dark.
They moved lightly and without making a sound.
Ye Yuhang was the first to reach the window of the master bedroom.
Inside the room, the candlelight flickered.
A middle-aged woman was squatting on the ground, struggling to stuff things into a huge bundle.
That was Liu Siyuan's wife, Wang.
At this moment, her face was full of anxiety, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"That damn guy, what time is it?"
He's still holed up in his study, tinkering with his treasures.
While tightening the wrapping cloth, Wang cursed in a low voice.
Each bundle was stuffed full and round, clearly containing a lot of valuables.
"The Tibetans will be entering the city tomorrow."
If we miss the appointed time, that would truly be a matter of life and death.
She stopped what she was doing and glanced at the tightly closed window with some fear.
Ye Yuhang, standing outside the window, was filled with astonishment upon hearing the words "Tibetans."
Sure enough, the largest venomous snake was lurking in Qingyang City.
His figure swayed slightly, and he vanished from his spot in an instant.
Following the light, they crept into the study.
A hunched figure was reflected on the paper window of the study.
Liu Siyuan was squatting next to the bookshelf with his butt sticking out, struggling to pry open a seemingly ordinary stone slab.
As the stone slab was lifted, a dark golden light shimmered in the dim candlelight.
Below that was a bottomless, hidden compartment.
Ye Yuhang stretched out his finger and poked a small hole in the window paper.
He could clearly see Liu Siyuan greedily stuffing ingots of gold into his pocket.
"honest and upright official?
Lord Liu, you've really put on a very tiring show.
Ye Yuhang could no longer suppress his anger and let out a cold laugh.
He suddenly raised his leg and kicked the door hard.
With a loud "bang," the rickety door shattered.
Liu Siyuan was terrified by this sudden turn of events.
He plopped down on the ground, the gold ingots in his arms rolling all over the floor.
He looked up in alarm at the figure in the doorway.
"Who are you?!
How dare they break into the county magistrate's residence at night!
Liu Siyuan's voice was shrill, and somewhat distorted due to fear.
He instinctively tried to shrink back behind the desk, but his hands frantically grabbed the scattered gold.
Even at this point, he still couldn't bear to part with these gold and silver items.
Do you remember the Battle of Stone Town?
Ye Yuhang slowly walked into the room, the tip of his spear pointing diagonally at the ground.
His voice was icy.
Upon hearing the words "Stone Town," Liu Siyuan's face turned deathly pale.
His hand trembled as he pointed at Ye Yuhang.
He couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
"I originally thought that you would withdraw your government troops."
They just wanted to use me as a tool to eliminate this variable.
"But little did I know, you were nothing more than an old dog kept by the Tibetans in Hezhou!"
At this point, veins bulged on Ye Yuhang's forehead.
The killing intent had reached its peak.
"No... let me explain... I was forced into it..."
Liu Siyuan collapsed to the ground.
Snot and tears streaming down his face, he looked utterly pathetic.
He tried to crawl backward, but the bookshelf blocked his way.
"Go to the underworld and explain to our fallen brothers!"
Without another word, Ye Yuhang's spear whistled through the air.
