After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 117 This madman! And there's another expert?

Inside Shangyang Palace, once Baili Ming arrived, Lin Yuchuan began his narration.

Two years ago, Chief Minister Meng and several students were ordered to go to Yongchuan for disaster relief.

Although there were many difficulties along the way, they were all overcome.

Until three months ago, Shu Bin and Le Yunjie had a big argument after they went to pick up the escort officer.

“After arriving in Yongchuan, the two of them often argued because of their differing opinions, but they were always talking about the issue and not the person, so neither of them really took it to heart.”

"So everyone thought that this was just a difference of opinion on political matters, and that it would be forgotten in a few days."

"I hear it, it sounds so much like..."

The more Lu Jian listened, the more uneasy he felt, and he unconsciously looked at Baili Ming.

Baili Ming shared the same thought when she met Lu Jian's questioning gaze.

"Prefect Lin, please continue. What happened next?"

Lin Yuchuan spoke with a look of regret, "I never imagined that after that, the two of them would begin to change their personalities drastically."

"When Chief Minister Meng realized something was wrong, he went to investigate the reason with the escort officer."

"At the same time, the two were imprisoned separately and guarded by others in turns."

"However, before Chief Minister Meng could find anything, the same thing happened to the officials who were in charge of transporting and distributing the supplies."

"Next came the local people of Yongchuan, and even some businessmen from other places."

"Not long after, even the chief priest began to behave strangely."

Lu Jian frowned deeply as he listened. What else could this be but countless "An Luoshi"?

"From the moment something was discovered to the point that everyone was showing symptoms, did no one even think of reporting it?"

Lin Yuchuan shook his head. If only things were that simple. "The magistrate of Yongchuan wrote eleven memorials and two secret letters, but they all disappeared without a trace."

"..." Lu Jian's eyes narrowed upon hearing this!

"When the magistrate saw that there was no reply to the letter for a long time, he felt that things were out of control, so he decided to disguise himself and come to the capital himself."

"But this led to even bigger trouble."

What happened next was even more shocking.

"What trouble?" Lu Jian clenched his fists, his face grim. In fact, he already knew what was going to happen.

Bai Liming, standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Lin Yuchuan looked up with a heavy expression, "When the county magistrate and his men realized that the county magistrate was about to leave Yongchuan, they actually used His Majesty's name to massacre the people of Yongchuan!"

"This is utterly audacious!" He slammed his fist on the table in fury.

Lin Yuchuan had the same reaction when he first received the news, but that wasn't the worst part.

"The most frightening thing is that many people, influenced by Meng Jijiu and his group, launched attacks on the government office."

"It is because of this that Zhou County and Mianchuan, which are near Yongchuan, have fallen into their hands, and I am unable to find out the reason for this at the moment."

"Then, the so-called riots broke out."

"so......"

In a flash, Lu Jian realized a fact: "It was my men who instigated the Yongchuan uprising."

"Your Majesty!" Lin Yuchuan knelt down in fear and trepidation.

Baili Ming followed suit, saying, "This matter is clearly a frame-up; Your Majesty must not take the blame upon yourself!"

"Please rise, gentlemen."

Compared to the spread of Gu poison among the people, whether or not it is stigmatized is no longer so important.

"What good is it if you know it wasn't me?"

Lu Jian now finally understood why they had blocked all exits from Yongchuan.

The purpose was to prevent the imperial court from obtaining the truth and clarifying the facts immediately.

"I'm afraid there's an even bigger 'surprise' waiting for me, isn't that right, Chief Lin?"

"..." Lin Yuchuan originally didn't intend to say it.

But seeing Lu Jian's attitude, I had no choice but to speak frankly, "I have also captured another person, but... he only said one sentence before he died."

"What?"

"The southwest can be like the northern frontier, or it can be like Lincheng."

Real hammer!

It's Wang Qingyan!

"This madman!" Lu Jian and Baili Ming cursed in unison.

"But there's something strange."

"Can you just say it all at once?!" Both of them were a little angry.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lin Yuchuan's face. "After taking control of Yongchuan, Yongzhou County, and Mianchuan, they made no further moves."

"If it were truly a riot, the situation should have spiraled out of control, so why... did it stop halfway through?"

"Perhaps it's because the imperial court has realized the situation? They don't have enough confidence to start a major war?"

Faced with Lu Jian's speculation, Lin Yuchuan was also tactful, saying, "I can't rule out that possibility."

"But I believe there are more important reasons."

"for example--"

As he spoke, Lin Yuchuan looked at Baili Ming and said, "We accidentally caused some 'misunderstandings' for the Wang family."

"Because of these 'misunderstandings,' the Wang family believed that His Majesty possessed certain methods to counteract Gu poison."

At first, Baili Ming was a little confused, but after listening to it, she was shocked!

He immediately understood Lin Yuchuan's meaning, "Perhaps, I can help Wang Shi deepen this 'misunderstanding'."

“What a coincidence!” Lu Jian’s eyes gleamed. “I also have a way.”

......

At this moment, "madman" Wang Qingyan was actually not much more relaxed than Baili Ming and the others.

Because the Yongchuan Uprising did not develop as he had predicted.

"What's going on?"

Wuming shook his head blankly.

Based on his understanding, he simply couldn't comprehend anything beyond what Wang Qingyan had instructed.

Logically speaking, since the Chaosheng policy implemented in Yongchuan has already taken effect, the situation will inevitably worsen and spread to the entire southwest region.

This caused a huge uproar, plunging the entire Wei Dynasty into chaos and war.

But why would they block all exits from Yongchuan without my authorization...?

After much deliberation, Wang Qingyan still felt that the common people could not possibly break free from Chao Sheng's control.

As for those students and the chief priests... that's even more impossible!

But the reality did not unfold as he had planned.

Could it be...

Thinking about the rumors that had surfaced in recent days, Wang Qingyan couldn't help but wonder if Lu Jian had actually found a way to break the curse of Chaosheng?

No, that's not right!

The thought arose, but was immediately rejected by Wang Qingyan.

If Lu Jian had truly concocted the antidote for Chao Sheng, he wouldn't still be here.

Moreover, there is absolutely no antidote for Chaosheng.

But......

Just as they were wondering, Wuming, who had been standing still, suddenly said, word by word, "A disobedient Gu."

? !

Wang Qingyan immediately became wary. "What did you say?!"

When Wuming met Wang Qingyan's eyes, his face trembled slightly as if he sensed something. "Very powerful."

"..." Looking at the inappropriate emotions appearing on the face of his puppet of many years, Wang Qingyan felt a strange sensation for the first time.

There is indeed no antidote available for Chaosheng.

But what if Lu Jian really created an even more powerful Gu, or...

There are also masters.

......

When He Yao returned to Chen Yue Pavilion, she had already eaten and drunk her fill.

After asking the palace servants and learning that Lu Jian was still extremely busy in Shangyang Palace, she ordered someone to send the food brought back from outside the palace to him before she went to rest.

He didn't rush to treat his injuries.

After all, Lu Jian probably won't have time to come over these two days, so whether it's dealt with or not doesn't really matter.

In two more days...

There are no wounds left.
