After much hesitation, someone finally stood out, speaking with an air of authority, "When the King of Chu was here, he didn't dare to do anything to us, let alone you?"
Who would have thought that in Yu Huatian's eyes, Ye Feng was already a hero, and he could not tolerate being insulted by others.
"Good kid, you have to take responsibility for saying that!" Yu Huatian's eyes seemed to emit sparks, and he coldly reprimanded, "You dog, say that to me again!"
"I said it, and I'll say it again, what can you do to me!" The villager, unaware of Yu Huatian's attitude, spoke with pride, "If you have the guts, kill me!"
"My family will definitely sue you at the King of Chu's mansion, and you'll die a horrible death!" The villager said sarcastically, provocatively approaching Yu Huatian, "If you have the guts, do it, come on, kill me!"
Yu Huatian slightly drew his Xiu Chun Dao, the sound of the impact made the villager suddenly collapse to the ground, pointing at Yu Huatian and stammering, "Before, with the master here, you could do whatever you wanted, but now, I will absolutely not let you go!"
The villager immediately caught a hint from Yu Huatian's words, which was that Ye Feng was likely dead in the explosion, no, in the display of divine lightning.
"You're talking nonsense, the King is immortal, how could he die, you're talking nonsense!"
"Yes, I heard that the King is the reincarnation of the Zi Wei Star in heaven, and he cannot die!"
Listening to the babbling voices, Yu Huatian heavily slammed the Xiu Chun Dao on the table and said coldly, "If anyone says another word, I will kill without mercy!"
"Even if the King is not here, the Madam will be our judge, we will go to the Madam to sue you!" The villagers chattered.
"Hmph!" Yu Huatian snorted, "You probably don't know the Madam's abilities. With her, the moment she hears about the King, she will surely send you to the gates of hell!"
"Good kid, good skill!" a villager provocatively charged out with a long spear. Upon closer inspection, it was the characteristic long spear of the Third Legion.
"Theft of weapons, death!" Yu Huatian said coldly. An inch shorter, an inch more dangerous. Suddenly, the weapon approached, and in the next moment, the unsuspecting villager was pinned to the ground, his long spear confiscated by the hidden Jinyiwei.
"Husband, say something, our house was bombed today, maybe I can save your life!" a woman rushed up and cried, "If you leave, what will happen to the child!"
The villager still stubbornly said, "If you have the guts, let him kill me, I want to see if the Madam will intervene in this matter!"
"Good kid!" Yu Huatian raised his Xiu Chun Dao high and said coldly, "Today, I'll show you our skills."
As the long saber was about to fall, the villager's face changed drastically. He was sure that Yu Huatian would not kill him, but now, it was uncertain.
"Wait, you can't kill me!" In desperation, the villager hurriedly shouted, "I still have, I still have..."
The villager hurriedly glared at the woman, signaling her to think of a solution. The woman was so anxious that she cried, but was kicked heavily, "If you can't think of a solution, I'll die and the child will live, he's flesh from your body!"
The villager's fierce gaze made Yu Huatian shake his head, and he silently praised Ye Feng and Diao Chan as a perfect couple.
The woman seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly knelt on the ground, pleading, "Officer, please spare the child's father, otherwise our whole family will starve to death."
"We just lost our house, and now we can't lose the child's father!"
"Please, just let the child's father go." The woman hurriedly crawled over and gently tugged at Yu Huatian's Feiyu suit. Yu Huatian was unmoved, and with a slight flick, the woman's hand came loose.
"Take him away, and also to strictly enforce the law in Liangzhou and set up a banner, so that these people do not show off their might!" Yu Huatian was about to lead his men, but saw the woman hugging his thigh and pestering him. He sighed softly and raised the Xiu Chun Dao in his hand high.
"Some people always want to find death, and they can't blame me!" Yu Huatian shook his head and sighed, then threw the Xiu Chun Dao with all his might. The villager hurriedly closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, he found someone lying on the ground, his hand pierced by the Xiu Chun Dao and unable to move. Yu Huatian said coldly, "No matter whose person you are, if you want to pass on information at this critical juncture, don't blame me for being ruthless. Even if this matter reaches the Madam, there will be nothing to fault."
His words made several people who had stepped forward hastily retreat. This was a matter of life and death. One had to have a life to earn money and spend it.
"Officer, please rest assured, we will definitely not do such wicked things, and the King of Chu's spirit in heaven will surely be comforted!"
His words stunned the woman, leaving her speechless. In that instant, she could only nod repeatedly, hoping that Yu Huatian would not notice her.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Yu Huatian grabbed the villager by the collar and cursed, "Why did your family disappear? Tell me clearly!"
Ye Feng had died because the peasant house collapsed earlier, but after seeing everything here, only their house collapsed. This was not something that could not be easily deduced!
The villager was stunned for a moment, then, after a long while, he came back to his senses and stammered, "Originally, my family was fine, but later a firewood was added. I didn't expect the house we had painstakingly saved to turn to ashes."
"Don't you know yourself?" Yu Huatian roared, "If you refuse to tell the truth, I'll take a hand, and see if you still have such backbone!"
For a farmer, losing a hand was even more severe than losing a life. In an instant, there was chaos, and everyone earnestly persuaded Yu Huatian to spare the villager's life.
"Well, then who will pay for the King of Chu's life? He died for you, did he not? Are you going to let him die in vain!" Yu Huatian said with anger, "You ask me to spare him, but who has thought of the King of Chu!"
For a moment, everyone fell silent. In their hearts, the King of Chu was like their benefactor. They would rather die than let the King of Chu die!
"I don't know, I don't know anything. This is someone else's business, you can't make me take the blame, absolutely not!" The villager cursed. Yu Huatian grabbed the Xiu Chun Dao and split the table in half, "If you don't tell the truth, you'll be next!"
"I'm telling the truth, even if the King of Heaven himself came, I'd say the same thing!" The villager roared, "I dare to say the same thing when I see the King of Hell!"
Yu Huatian was already heartbroken. With such a sarcastic remark, how could he let it go? In an instant, his face turned cold, and he slowly approached with the Xiu Chun Dao, "Then I'll send you to see the King of Hell, and you can have a good argument with the King of Chu about whether it was your doing!"
Seeing Yu Huatian's reddened eyes, the woman rushed forward without regard for her own safety, and then slapped the villager's face several times, "I told you clearly, never be greedy for small favors, but you just wouldn't listen. Now you're going to lose your life, and you're still unwilling to tell the truth. How did I end up with such a coward!"
The elder of the clan kept tapping his cane on the ground and cursed, "Foolish, foolish! The King of Chu promised to build a school for us, are you going to cut off their way forward!"
Mentioning the children, the villager's heart softened. He slapped himself fiercely, "Let you be greedy, let you be greedy. Now you've ruined your children's future, are you happy, are you satisfied?"
Seeing that there was a glimmer of hope, Yu Huatian said coldly, "If the King of Chu were alive, your children would be studying in the school, and in more than ten years, they might become officials. Now, it's all your fault!"
As soon as the elder heard this, his face turned ashen. He hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Please officer, spare him this once, at least do not implicate his descendants. It would even be worthy of erecting a monument for him. Please grant this wish."
"Yes, sir, we will be buried with the King of Chu, we will do anything for him, but please do not give up on building the school!"
"Sir!"
In an instant, people were kneeling all over the ground. Yu Huatian closed his eyes tightly and squeezed out a sentence, "But he's not even willing to tell a single truth, how can I show leniency? Even if I want to spare you, what will the Madam think? Will she also show leniency?"
The elder hit the villager with his cane and said coldly, "Foolish thing, why don't you tell the truth quickly? What are you still waiting for? Are you going to bury Xiao Douzi's future with you!"
Seeing that the villager was unwilling to speak, the woman, however, poured out everything like a bamboo tube.
"Originally the shopkeeper? Bah, this man got some 'Heaven-Shaking Thunder', wanting to turn it in, but seeing the King of Chu raising the price, he had a wrong thought and that's how these things happened!" The woman spoke frankly, making the man lower his head even further.
"And? The matter is definitely not just this. It's better to explain it clearly once and for all!" Yu Huatian said with a cold expression, then threw out a sentence, "If there is one word less or one word more, I won't be able to protect you!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The woman nodded quickly, "I know this, but the shopkeeper said the price would increase. The King of Chu is in such a hurry, it might be some rare treasure, so he hid it."
"When you generals searched, the shopkeeper got scared and threw it into the woodpile, which is how the accident happened." After speaking, the woman slapped the villager's face heavily, "Now you still don't know your mistake?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong!" The villager kowtowed quickly.
Yu Huatian extended two fingers and trembled, "Two taels of silver, for two taels of silver you wanted the King of Chu's life. When have you ever seen the King of Chu treat you badly?"
"Sir, now that it's clear, what do you think?" The elder said, defying the world, "As for the Madam, there's no need to tell her. We'll say the King of Chu died of illness. This way, his wish will be fulfilled!"
"You don't want this Madam to know? But I already know." Diao Chan arrived in a hurry, her eyebrows raised, and pointing at the villager, she cursed, "Since he's unwilling to speak, then let everyone become slaves, and let them see the consequences!"
