Chapter 55: A Gentleman's Revenge Every Night

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

Early the next morning, Yang Jian's mournful cries echoed throughout the Golden Palace, shocking Luo Yun, who had just arrived at the court and had not yet had time to sit down.

Looking at his brother-in-law, Luo Yun knew that something strange had happened again.

Helplessly asked: "What's the matter?"

Yang Jian cried and complained: "I want to sue Zhang Wei from Luyang County for killing my own son Yang Ling!"

"what?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Yun was startled, his sleepiness disappeared instantly, and he became fully awake.

I just lingered in my beloved concubine's arms for a while last night, how come my nephew was dead when I woke up?
This is Yang Jian’s biological son, his beloved concubine’s nephew! He is also his nephew!
Luo Yun immediately looked at Zhang Hui and shouted, "Zhang Hui, what's going on?!"

Zhang Hui stood up with a calm expression and said, "Your Majesty, this is what happened."

Zhang Hui did not exaggerate or shirk responsibility, but simply told Zhang Wei the whole story of what happened.

However, after listening to it, Luo Yun asked again: "And then?"

Zhang Hui: “No more.”

Luo Yun asked again: "Just because of this kind of thing, the Luyang County man killed Yang Ling?!"

Luo Yun's tone became noticeably stern when he said this, and anyone could hear his anger at this moment.

However, Zhang Hui asked in return: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with what my nephew did?

According to the laws of our Yun Kingdom, those who slander nobles and royal nobles should be sentenced to death. Isn't that reasonable?"

Luo Yun slapped the dragon chair and shouted, "Zhang Qing, that was Marquis Boyue's biological son! Zhang Zijie brutally killed him! As an uncle, can't you do anything?!"

After hearing Luo Yun's words, Zhang Hui suddenly realized, and then called out to Yang Jian who was still crying.

"Marquis Boyue."

Yang Jian subconsciously looked at Zhang Hui.

However, just when everyone thought that Zhang Hui was going to give in and hand over Zhang Wei to be punished, Zhang Hui just nodded at Yang Jian.

"My condolences, by the way..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present, including Luo Yun, widened their eyes and looked at Zhang Hui, who was pretending to be stupid, in disbelief.

All the officials looked at Zhang Hui with admiration.

What does it mean to kill someone and destroy their heart?

That's probably it.

Yang Jian was so angry that he was shaking. He pointed at Zhang Hui and shouted, "You...you, wuah! Ugh...wuah ah ah ah!"

Before anyone could scold him, Yang Jian started crying out of breath. The entire Golden Palace could hear the old man's wailing.

"Hmph... Good! Very good!"

Luo Yun said angrily: "Zhang Wei, a man from Luyang County, slaughtered the sons of nobles in the street without any remorse. Order! Remove the title of Luyang County Man! Take away his honors! Put him in the Heavenly Prison!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several officials stood up.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Zuo Hang even stood up to support his old friend and said, "Your Majesty, what County Man Zhang did was in accordance with the laws of our Yun Kingdom, and what he said and did was to uphold the dignity of the royal family. Such a punishment may not be convincing to the people! Please revoke your order!"

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

Several senior officials, led by Zuo Hang, shouted in unison.

Luo Yun's face became even uglier. At this moment, Luo Yun thought that he was just punishing a county man who had killed royal relatives, but Zuo Hang and others united to oppose him.

This would have been impossible in the past!
Do they think I'm old?

Do you think you can force me to make concessions?

dream!

Luo Yun scolded: "You guys...are you teaching me how to do things?"

However, just as he finished speaking, more than a dozen officials stood up, and one of them shouted, "Your Majesty, calm down! Zuo Gong and the others are also speaking for justice. Your Majesty must not ruin the justice of the world because of a dandy relative!"

"Yang Ling insulted the princess of the royal family and slandered the reputation of the nobles. It is understandable that Zhang Xiannan killed him in anger!"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

With these dozen people taking the lead, more and more officials and nobles stood up to cheer for Zhang Hui and others.

Among them, there are even Zhang Hui’s former political enemies!
Luo Yun's pupils shrank when he saw this. He realized that these people came from various backgrounds. There were people from the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince, as well as some local forces.

At this moment, more than half of the officials in the court, both civil and military officials, stood against him!

A flash of panic passed through Luo Yun's mind, but he soon figured it out.

The various factions in the court are working together at this time, not because they are really fighting for Zhang Weiming, but to attack Yang Jian!
After the imperial concubine became pregnant, the power of the Yang family expanded rapidly with his tacit approval, which had touched the sensitive nerves of many people, so they wanted to take this opportunity to attack Yang Jian, and even further undermine their own prestige as the emperor!

After thinking it through, Luo Yun had to accept the reality no matter how angry he was. After all, even if he was the emperor, he could not force something to happen against more than half of the officials in the court.

Luo Yun sighed helplessly: "Well, I didn't think it through."

Yang Jicheng below started crying again.

"Your Majesty..."

"Shut up!"

Luo Yun glanced at Yang Jian with disgust, and then said: "Zhang Wei, a man from Luyang County, defended the dignity of the royal family, and should be rewarded, but he acted too arrogantly and bypassed my Yundu Yamen to deal with him privately.

"You have disregarded the laws of our Yun Kingdom and have taken advantage of your position to act recklessly. You must be punished as a lesson! I will commutate your sentence to exile you a thousand miles away and let you gain some experience in the East Sea!"

"His Majesty!"

"Okay, let's leave this matter alone and adjourn the court!"

After saying this, Luo Yun snorted coldly and was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and stopped halfway, looked at Zhang Hui and asked, "Speaking of which, Zhang Qing, you are sixty now, right?"

Zhang Hui said calmly, "I am fifty-five this year."

Luo Yun said faintly: "Is that so? Then I must have remembered it wrongly."

After saying this, he waved his sleeves and left the Golden Palace under the protection of a group of eunuchs and palace maids.

This is considered the end of the court.

After Luo Yun left, Yang Jian's tears had almost all flowed. He looked at Zhang Hui with resentment and said, "Minister Zhang, my son's revenge is not over yet!"

"Then I'll be waiting!"

Zhang Hui replied coldly.

On the way out of the Golden Palace, Zhang Hui walked alone on the avenue paved with white marble bricks. Even if the people around him were familiar with them, they had no intention of walking side by side with Zhang Hui or even saying hello.

This is completely different from the previous situation where all officials worked together to resist the imperial order.

Zuo Hang looked at Zhang Hui's back and thought for a while, then quickly walked up to Zhang Hui and said, "Old Zhang...you were too reckless this time!"

Zhang Hui paused. He didn't expect that Zuo Hang would be willing to talk to him at this time.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying: "Zuo Gong, others are bullying me now, I have to show some resistance..."

"But you..."

Zuo Hang said with an unpleasant expression: "You also understand what the emperor means, right?"

"Um……"

Zhang Hui nodded. Luo Yun had mentioned his age before, but he had exaggerated it, so it was obvious that he was referring to himself.

Zuo Hang patted Zhang Hui on the shoulder and sighed, "You'd better take care of yourself!"

Once Zhang Hui retired and Zhang Wei was stripped of his title, he would be unable to withstand the revenge of the Yang family relying only on Zhang Wei's fame as the top scholar in the provincial examination and the Zhang family's background in Luyang County.

Afterwards, it is likely that only a few branches of the Zhang family will be able to survive and ensure the incense.

In fact, Zhang Wei might even be ahead of everyone in the Zhang family.

After all, Zhang Wei was exiled thousands of miles away, so it was normal for something to happen along the way.

Even though Zhang Wei has extraordinary martial arts skills and was able to defeat a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining with the help of a thunder bomb, can he still be on guard day and night and withstand the cold arrows that come from everywhere at Yang Mansion?
However, what Zuo Hang did not see was the sneer on Zhang Hui's lips.

Will our Zhang family perish?
not necessarily!

Will Zhang Wei die?
Less likely!

……

That night, the Yang Mansion was in mourning.

Yang Jian stood beside Yang Ling's coffin, looking at his son's cold body and the ugly stitches on his neck with tears in his eyes, feeling extremely sad.

Although he is only in his thirties this year and has many descendants, he only has this one legitimate son!

Yang Ling had been a person I had high hopes for since he was a child, but he ended up dying at the hands of Zhang Wei! Hateful! Hateful!
Yang Jian gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Ling'er, it won't take long. As soon as Zhang Wei leaves Yundu City, I will let this little beast go down to accompany you!
No, I can't let him die so easily!

I want to make him wish he could neither live nor die!
My son... my son!"

Yang Jian was halfway through his speech when he was overwhelmed with grief again and cried out while holding Yang Ling's coffin.

However, just as he was venting his emotions, there was a commotion outside the mourning hall.

Just as Yang Jiang was about to yell, the gate was suddenly kicked open, and the two servants fell directly into the yard, vomiting blood.

Then, five burly men in black clothes walked into the house with arrogant expressions, looking down at Yang Jian who had a terrified face.

Yang Jian said in horror: "A few warriors want money?"

At this moment, Yang Jian cursed the patrol soldiers of Yundu City and the guards of the mansion in his heart. Why did they let such a group of ruthless people come before him? !

Someone come and rescue me quickly!

Just when Yang Jian was feeling uneasy, fearing that these people in front of him would harm him, he heard the black-clothed man in the lead said in a "kind" manner: "Marquis Boyue, Uncle Yang, right?"

"I have a business I want to discuss with you. Are you interested?"

Yang Jian: “Ah?”

Just when Yang Jian was confused, he saw the five strong men in black stretched out their hands.

In an instant, strange powers such as flames, ice, storms, etc. gathered in their hands.

Fairy?

Is this a fairy?!
Yang Jian asked humbly, "What can I do for you, immortals?"

The leading burly man laughed and said, "I heard that the king's uncle and Zhang Wei of the Zhang family have a grudge of killing their son.

But Zhang Wei escaped punishment with the help of his uncle, who was the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and other important officials in the court. When the five of us heard about this, we were indignant and came to help!
As long as the uncle can afford the price, Zhang Wei, the five of us brothers will take care of it for you!"

"Really?"

Hearing the words of the big man in black, Yang Jian's eyes suddenly lit up, but quickly collapsed again.

"But... Zhang Wei has some thunder bombs that can harm even immortals!"

Yang Jian felt depressed when talking about the thunder bomb. He had also seen this thing which had performed brilliantly in the Luoxia Corpse Chaos four years ago.

However, since the number of thunder bombs circulating in the world is too rare, he never thought that Zhang Wei actually had this thing.

The old man in gray was from a foreign country and had never seen the power of a thunder bomb. He was caught off guard and was hit.

Yang Jian had no idea how many bombs Zhang Wei had in his hands now.

But from the experience of the Zhang family sending people to Luoxia Mountain to do business during the Luoxia Corpse Chaos, it can be inferred that he most likely still has a stock of thunder bombs in hand.

Coupled with Zhang Wei's own high-level martial arts, with the blessing of thunder bombs, his threat power is comparable to the "major repair" of the middle stage of Qi training!

I'm afraid we can only ask a "powerful" person in the late stage of Qi Refining to take him down!
Yang Jian hesitated and said, "We, the Yang family, finally invited an immortal to serve as a priest, but he was assassinated by him because of a moment of carelessness! Several immortals..."

Yang Jian's original intention was to let these people be careful and not fall into the trap, but the five big men in black burst into laughter after hearing what he said.

"Hahahaha... How can a mortal like you understand the methods used by us immortal cultivators?"

The leading black-clad burly man sneered and said, "The thunder bomb is indeed a problem, but it is only a threat to visible enemies. What if an invisible enemy attacks him?"

Yang Jian's eyes lit up and he asked, "Could it be that the immortals know how to become invisible?!"

"will not!"

The sturdy man in black shook his head and said, "That kind of magic is still useful for ordinary mortal warriors, but it is beyond the reach of martial arts masters like Zhang Wei."

Just when Yang Jian was feeling a little disappointed, he heard the black-clothed sturdy man say sinisterly: "The five of us brothers have a formation that can kill people from a distance! It can even ruin the feng shui of a family!"

Hearing the words of the burly man in black, Yang Jian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He understood who these people in front of him were!
The legendary demon cultivator who can practice witchcraft!

Practicing witchcraft and curses is as despicable as killing an entire family! It is strictly prohibited in any country!

But when he thought of his son lying in the coffin, Yang Jian gritted his teeth and nodded.

"can!"

"As long as Zhang Wei can be killed and my poor child avenged, I will offer a thousand taels of gold to thank the immortal for his great kindness!"

Yang Jian bowed to the five burly men in black.

Hearing the words "a thousand taels of gold", the five sturdy men in black suddenly had their eyes brightened. They thought that what the man said was indeed true, this Yang family is really rich!
"it is good!"

The burly man in black said solemnly: "Cursing an entire family is a big deal. It requires an altar, sacrifices, and manpower. Uncle Yang will have to worry about it!"

"Leave everything to me!" Yang Jian said, patting his chest.

The next day, Yang Jian ordered the purchase of some materials needed to build the altar.

The movements of the Yang Mansion could not be hidden from those who were interested, but the Yang Mansion’s confidentiality procedures were done well. It was not until the day the altar was completed that a piece of news was leaked from somewhere, and everyone discovered Yang Jian’s purpose.

He wanted to cast a spell to kill Zhang Wei and ruin the fortune of an entire family!

This piece of news immediately caused an uproar, and what was even more intriguing was that while the Yang Mansion made such a big fuss, there was no movement at all in the palace, as if they had heard nothing.

“This is the default!”

All the big shots in Yundu City suddenly felt a chill run through their bodies. They didn't expect that Luo Yun would actually condone Yang Jian to do such a treasonous thing!
However, in reality, Luo Yun had just learned that his brother-in-law was going to practice witchcraft.

He was completely confused!

I exiled Zhang Wei earlier so that you could find a chance to take revenge!

But what's the matter with you casting a witchcraft curse on me?

Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?

The most important thing is, you didn't tell me about this in advance! Now everyone in the court thinks that I tacitly allowed you to do this!

Gan!
Thinking of this, Luo Yun became furious and quickly ordered the imperial guards to stop the witchcraft curse and take Yang Jian to the palace for punishment.

However, when the Imperial Guards forced their way into Yang's Mansion, they only saw corpses scattered inside and outside the mansion!

From the high-ranking Boyue Marquis Yang Jian to the servant who was responsible for sweeping the floor, all were dead!

The bodies were lying in the yard! Each of them had an extremely terrified expression, and it was obvious that they died in an unpleasant way.

Even the yellow dog that guarded the house, the goldfish in the water, and the rare birds in the corridor were not spared and were all poisoned to death!
Even the vegetation was not spared, the grass was turned over!
There was not a single living person left in the entire Yang family! Not a single valuable property was left!

The newly appointed captain of the Imperial Guard was so frightened when he saw this scene that he quickly led his team back to the palace and reported the matter to Luo Yun.

Frightened, Luo Yun quickly sent royal servants to investigate.

Based on the traces left at the scene and the recent situation in the Yun Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, the priests concluded that this was a human sacrifice by a foreign demon cultivation organization.

By inducing Yang Jian to hate the Zhang family, they made Yang Jian spend a lot of money to ask them to perform rituals.

However, the formation they actually set up was never a witchcraft formation, but a killing formation to kill everyone in the Yang Mansion!
After killing everyone in the Yang Mansion, these evil cultivators looted all the valuable property in the Yang Mansion and then fled.

In short, this accident was a tragedy caused by Yang Jian’s own evil deeds (what a joke)!

When the news of the Yang family's extermination reached the palace, Yang Guifei, who was resting and taking care of her baby in the palace, was stunned. She was unable to accept the reality for a while, and she was so sad that she had a miscarriage!

The prince in her belly died before he was even born!

Yun Huang Luo Yun was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, but he still forced himself to send a message to the four major foundation-building families in the territory, asking them to pursue these demon cultivators who dared to break the rules!
After hearing about this incident and reading the report from the Temple of Worship, the dignitaries of Yundu all showed incredible expressions.

Originally, they thought that Zhang Wei and the Zhang family would never recover from this, and would be destroyed by the revenge of the Yang family.

I didn't expect that in just a few days, Yang Jian would kill himself!
Zhang Wei hasn’t even had time to get up and go to the East China Sea!
I've lived for so many years, what kind of storms have I not seen?
I have never seen this scene before!
For a time, the Yang family became famous in all the upper circles of Yun Kingdom.

I was famous before, but it was just a joke.

And this time the Yang family is a pure joke.

Almost all the patriarchs of the aristocratic families used Yang Jian's experience to warn their descendants not to follow Yang Jian's crooked ways.

Even Yang Guifei's miscarriage was seen as retribution by many people in this world that believes in fate!

On the other hand, Zhang Wei, who was regarded by many outsiders as a representative of winning by chance, also appeared in front of everyone for the first time after several days of seclusion.

He went to the dead gate of Yang's house, poured a glass of wine, and then said in front of the crowd: "Death settles debts, and our grievances are over. I hope you know this and can rest in peace in the afterlife!"

Zhang Wei's move of settling grudges over a glass of wine drew praise from many scholars and aristocratic families.

But according to passers-by who were present at the time, Zhang Wei's smile never stopped!

Of course, it was later confirmed that this was just a rumor!

After Zhang Wei's operation of settling grudges over a cup of wine, other scholars and people of Yundu who had grudges with the Yang family seemed to have discovered some new continent. They ran to the gate of the Yang family with wine, food and offerings to "worship".

Some even sang loudly on the spot, and a bunch of people danced along, making the entrance of Yang's house even more lively than when its owner was there.

In this way, Yang Jian used the lives of himself and all his clansmen to illustrate what it means that some people's death is more valuable than living a lifetime!
As for Zhang Wei, the person involved in this incident, he had quietly left Yundu by car before the scholars could react, and traveled east alone in a carriage.

This caused a group of scholars to sigh in regret.

However, three days later, deep in the Yunmengze, there was a remote island.

Five black-clad burly men with ferocious faces got off the boat and walked straight to a young man sitting on a box on the shore and said, "The job is done, it's time to pay the balance!"

Zhang Wei patted the box and said with a smile, "A total of three thousand taels of gold, please keep it!"
