Tian Ping looked at Mo Junyang who was indifferent and then at Yan Xu who had lost the momentum of an official. He swallowed desperately and wanted to shake his head to temporize, while he suddenly heard Mo Junyang’s distant voice. “I just want the truth.”
Tian Ping’s words were stuck in his throat and he didn’t dare to say it but had to hold back.
He admitted that he was cowardly, yet under Mo Junyang’s cold glance, he had forgotten all he had measured and confessed everything while trembling.
“Your Excellency, the porridge with dead people’s flesh was made by Lord Wu’s people. Lord Yan just provided porridge with the identity of the magistrate in the places Lord Wu had chosen in advance…”
Tian Ping incoherently spoke out the ulterior transactions of Yan Xu and Wu Xiong.
In fact, Tian Ping deserved to be Yan Xu’s trusted subordinate, and he was clear about Yan Xu and Wu Xiong’s dirty deals.
Although Yan Xu always stressed that Wu Xiong forced him to graft the disaster relief money and food, only those with weaknesses were susceptible to evil influences. Both of them coveted the disaster relief money and food from the imperial court and colluded with each other.
It turned out that the flood disaster in Jiangzhou was not so serious in the beginning. It rained heavily, but with the dyke-dam blocking, only the low-lying area downstream was drowned. However, in order to get more disaster relief money and food, Wu Xiong told his soldiers to ruin the dyke-dam with bombs secretly and led the flood to the innocent common people in Jiangzhou at night.
There was a flood disaster, and the disaster relief money and food had been sent from the imperial court, so they had to relieve the sufferers.
However, it needed money to relieve the sufferers.
So Wu Xiong and Yan Xu became frenzied and targeted the nameless dead people drowned in the flood.
Perhaps in the beginning, they really just wanted to take the dead people’s flesh as meat to save the cost, yet ptomaine started to spread rapidly at this time.
More and more people died, and in the eyes of Wu Xiong and Yan Xu, they were not dead bodies but treasures.
As there were more food sources, ptomaine spread more severely, and more people died. In the end, fewer people needed porridge.
To them, they could achieve many things at one stroke.
Later, more and more people died, and there were fewer people surviving. It cost them “all” the disaster relief money and food to provide porridge for the sufferers, so they naturally wouldn’t trouble to help the victims.
Therefore, the “epidemic” frightful to the ear was cured without medicine.
The pitiful people were the innocent civilians who knew nothing but were forced to cannibalize.
After hearing Tian Ping haltingly speak out what he should and shouldn’t say, Yan Xu fell on the ground and looked as if he had nothing to desire for.
After Tian Ping finished his words, the courtyard was silent for quite a while.
Nobody spoke, or rather, nobody knew what to say.
After a while, Mo Junyang suddenly asked, “What did you do to the surviving people except making porridge with dead people’s flesh?”
Tian Ping’s face stiffened, and he started to play dumb. “I don’t know what you mean, Your Excellency.”
“Do I need to remind you? The common people who disappeared suddenly…” Mo Junyang prolonged his voice and asked unhurriedly after seeing that Tian Ping and Yan Xu turned pale, “What did you do to them?”
“We, we…”
Tian Ping’s voice was trembling, and he wanted to explain away seemingly, but after meeting Mo Junyang’s stern eyes, he was like a deflated ball. He just kowtowed and admitted his guilt. “We are guilty. Your Excellency, please…”
He was unable to continue, and even his words to beg for mercy became powerless.
It was conscienceless to make porridge with dead people’s flesh, and what they did to the surviving people…was inhuman.
What could he say?
Tian Ping and Yan Xu lowered their heads in dejection and admitted their guilt. Even though they were reluctant, they had nothing to say.
“Your Excellency, you…” Wei Ziye asked about the next jobs in a low voice.
Mo Junyang ordered, “Leave Yan Xu here, as I have something to ask him. Take the others away and punish them according to rules.”
Wei Ziye hesitated for a moment and then asked, “How should we deal with Wu Xiong?”
“I have other plans. Just arrange for these people first.”
“Yes!”
The backyard was cleaned up, and only Mo Junyang, Shi Qingxue and Yan Xu who trembled and knelt on the ground were left.
“Yan Xu.”
“Yes,” Yan Xu quivered and answered in a hurry.
Mo Junyang asked, “You stressed several times that Wu Xiong has a superior protecting him. Who is this superior?”
Yan Xu was scared to death. After hearing Mo Junyang’s question, he instantly felt that he found a chance of survival.
He intentionally showed that he was baffled and said obsequiously, “Your Excellency, since you asked me, I should tell you frankly, but Lord Wu’s background is powerful. I can’t even save my life, so I don’t dare to say anything recklessly, unless…”
He peeped at Mo Junyang several times, and what he meant was self-evident.
Mo Junyang sneered. “What? Do you want to bargain with me?”
“I don’t dare to.” Yan Xu smiled flatteringly in embarrassment.
“However, I have nothing but a worthless life. If you want to take my life, I really fear nothing.”
He said that he didn’t dare to, yet he dared to do anything.
Yan Xu’s all crimes had been exposed, and any one could cause his death. If he just begged for mercy, he couldn’t save his life.
Didn’t Mo Junyang want to investigate the case in Jiangzhou?
He could do it, but he had to pay a price if he needed Yan Xu to help him.
Yan Xu thought that he was just an unimpressive nobody, and his life and death was decided by Mo Junyang.
“Your Excellency, look. We have no grudge against each other. Why do you waste energy on me? It’s proper business to catch a big fish.” Yan Xu begged for mercy “patiently” and said all the nice words.
When Yan Xu was thirsty after talking too much, Mo Junyang glanced at him coldly. “Have you finished speaking?”
Mo Junyang was unmoved and looked as if watching a monkey being teased.
Even though Yan Xu had to beg Mo Junyang, he was irritated by the young man’s indifference and looked cold. “Your Excellency, do you really want to take my life?”
At the moment, even Shi Qingxue couldn’t bear to see that. She couldn’t control herself but rebuked, “Huh. How do you have the face to live in this world? You can refuse to say as you wish. Do you think that we can do nothing without you?”
Yan Xu looked more ferocious and threatened in a deep voice, “I dare to say that nobody is clearer about what Wu Xiong did than me. If you kill me now, you will never try to do anything to him.
“Are you willing to let go of such a big fish who harms the country and common people?”
Mo Junyang rested his chin in his hand and asked lazily, “Who told you that I would let go of Wu Xiong?”
“Then you…”
“Do you think that I know nothing as you don’t say anything?”
Yan Xu was astonished and asked subconsciously, “You have known that Wu Xiong has the backup…”
Before Yan Xu spoke out the name, he suddenly came to his senses and held back his words.
Seeing Shi Qingxue’s disappointed expression after excitement, he laughed loudly. “It’s not easy for you to lure me to say something. If you don’t keep me alive, I will take this secret into my coffin.”
Mo Junyang wasn’t in the mood to say that Yan Xu didn’t qualify to lie in a coffin as he did all kinds of evil.
He just squinted at Yan Xu and casually ruined his last hope. “Do you think that if you don’t say anything, I won’t know that Wu Xiong colluded with the rebel army and sent the disaster relief money and food to the northern border to support Mo Junhao’s rebellion?”
“How did you know it?” Yan Xu was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He stared at Mo Junyang blankly and had no reaction for a long time.
Mo Junyang walked to Yan Xu and looked down at him, as if looking at a lowly bug, with indifference and disgust in his eyes. “I asked you just because I wanted to give you a chance to confess, but you are so impervious unexpectedly. You just want me to reveal all the facts to you, so don’t blame me if I show no mercy.
“Somebody, pull the sinful official Yan Xu away and put him in prison. Behead him after reporting to His Majesty. All his family members in the mansion will be banished.”
Yan Xu finally knew that he wasted the last chance to save himself. Even though Mo Junyang wouldn’t keep him alive, Yan Xu could prevent his family members from being implicated. However, he irritated Mo Junyang and had no chance of survival in the end.
Yan Xu was petrified, yet nobody would care about him at this time. Two guards walked forward and pulled him away like dragging a dead dog.
In the beginning, Shi Qingxue was still held in Mo Junyang’s arms and didn’t move. For a moment, she was shocked as she realized something all of a sudden seemingly. Then she got rid of his arms.
Mo Junyang subconsciously wanted to bring her back, but she dodged. He looked up and met her alert eyes.
He stopped breathing yet still pretended to be calm, asking, “What’s wrong?”
Shi Qingxue stared at him and asked in a deep voice, “When did you know that Wu Xiong colluded with Mo Junhao? Why didn’t you tell me?”
As soon as she heard Mo Junhao’s name, Shi Qingxue was stunned and then felt furious.
Although she didn’t show it obviously, Mo Junyang must know that she bore a grudge against Mo Junhao for two lives and wouldn’t give up until she took revenge. She wanted to know anything about Mo Junhao, but Mo Junyang kept something so important from her.
Shi Qingxue certainly didn’t believe that Mo Junyang wanted to help Mo Junhao, yet why didn’t he tell her?
Facing Shi Qingxue’s question, especially her angry eyes which seemed able to speak, Mo Junyang felt for the first time that he couldn’t confront her.
He avoided Shi Qingxue’s eyes yet lowered his head all the time. He didn’t answer or explain.
Shi Qingxue furrowed her brows more tightly and stared at Mo Junyang, asking in a colder voice, “Why did you keep it from me?”
At the moment, she could almost be sure that Mo Junyang had known everything earlier but intentionally hid it from her.
But why?
