Chapter 1001: Strange fog, the storm at the nursery!

Wu Zhao scanned Wang Zhong but didn't continue to make things difficult for him.

She just wanted to warn Wang Zhong not to speak too definitively.

Since he had found a way out for himself, the matter was dropped!

"How are the local commoners?"

Since they were already killed, Wu Zhao hoped to see a good result.

The messenger handed over the memorial, and his voice rang out, "Reporting to Your Majesty, since Lord Gao held the governance session, commoners from all over have flocked to Suiyang City. Suiyang City is overcrowded, and everyone is shouting that Your Majesty is wise and Lord Gao is a blue-sky official!"

"The commoners are all clapping and cheering!"

Once these words were spoken, Wu Zhao's expression improved.

That was still reasonable!

When she saw on the memorial that Gao Yang had toyed with Wanan County Magistrate Hu Dehai, Wu Zhao couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"This Gao Yang is really just as he was in the beginning!"

"The local County Magistrate Hu Dehai faked a faint; this fellow judged the real faint from the fake one, not hesitating to pour boiling water on his 'manhood,' but this County Magistrate was also a talent—first faking a faint, then faking vomiting blood to be scared to death, only to meet Gao Yang!"

Once these words were spoken.

The hundred officials' mouths all twitched.

They thought of the Chu Kingdom delegation; clearly, this Hu Dehai was more miserable!

Lu Wen asked curiously, "Your Majesty, and then?"

Wu Zhao closed the memorial and said, "Gao Yang not only wanted to pour it again but also had to finish him off, stabbing both sides of the heart, and the rear end, directly scaring Hu Dehai into jumping up to fight Gao Yang to the death, only to have his head cut off!"

Everyone: "..."

The hundred officials' mouths all twitched, and even Gao Feng had black lines all over his face.

This way of doing things is very "Living Yama"!

That Hu Dehai was ultimately too naive!

But Wu Zhao frowned again and said to the messenger, "Besides this, has there been any news from the nursery?"

Wu Zhao flipped through the memorial but found no news about the nursery, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.

The guard shook his head.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there has been no news from the nursery."

Wu Zhao nodded and didn't speak.

Nursery?

A look of confusion flashed in Wang Zhong's eyes.

Gao Feng was also full of curiosity; he hadn't heard that unfilial son mention this thing!

But beside Wu Zhao, Eunuch Guo, who was always calm, could no longer control the expression on his face, and his complexion changed suddenly.

A storm surged in his heart.

After the hundred officials dispersed.

Eunuch Guo also found an excuse of feeling unwell and walked out.

He bypassed the corridors and the palace where palace maids walked, and arrived at a mansion he had outside the palace.

After stepping into the mansion, the smile on Eunuch Guo's face suddenly turned cold, and then he said coldly to the servant, "Summon Lin Mang, a thousand-household of the Embroidered Uniform Guard; this servant has important matters to see him about!"

"Yes!"

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a flying-fish suit and a precious sword at his waist strode in.

As soon as he saw Eunuch Guo, he bowed respectfully to him, "Godfather, your child is here."

Eunuch Guo looked serious and said to Lin Mang with a cold expression, "Take my order and go to Suiyang Commandery immediately to see Lord Gao!"

Hearing Gao Yang's name, even as an Embroidered Uniform Guard, Lin Mang couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Eunuch, what happened?"

Lin Mang was somewhat surprised.

"News just came from the palace: the Living Yama held a governance session in Suiyang Commandery and executed 101 corrupt officials, including six County Magistrates and one commandery Commandant!"

"He has changed, or rather, we know too little about the Living Yama."

"Just now, this servant learned that before the Living Yama left, Your Majesty had entrusted him to investigate the nursery in Suiyang. The news about those refugees was ultimately a step slow, attracting Your Majesty's attention!"

"This is my personal letter. Keep it on you. If you see that the situation is not right, avoid Lord Shangguan and hand it to Lord Gao personally!"

Eunuch Guo took out a personal letter and handed it to Lin Mang.

"Yes!"

Lin Mang took the letter, carefully put it in his bosom, and rushed out.

Eunuch Guo pushed open the door and looked in the direction of Suiyang Commandery, his eyes changing uncertainly.

And as the news from Suiyang Commandery entered the palace, the hundred officials learned of it.

Soon, this news also spread toward the entire Changancheng, spreading extremely rapidly!

"..."

"Hiss!"

"Did you hear? The Living Yama held a governance session in Suiyang and angrily executed 101 corrupt officials. The commoners are all clapping and cheering, and even the Commandant was beheaded!"

"As expected of the Living Yama, truly ruthless!"

"Yes, it's almost as if the sky of Suiyang Commandery is about to be pierced!"

"Do you really think the Living Yama is doing this for the commoners? What a joke! The position of Prime Minister is vacant; the Living Yama is just putting on a show to farm public support! Didn't you see he only beheaded the corrupt officials in Suiyang? If you have the guts, come to Changancheng and behead them!"

"People like you are truly hateful!"

"Brothers, beat him up!"

Compared to other commanderies and counties, the news in Changancheng was more well-informed, so some people raised doubts, but soon, this doubting scholar was beaten up.

He was beaten black and blue, but still said unconvinced, "I, Chi Potian, am not convinced. If the Living Yama is really for the commoners, I am willing to eat ten catties of manure, soup and water included, and eat it upside down!"

Although these voices were mixed with some doubts, the news still spread throughout the entire Changancheng in the first instance.

Chunhua Tower.

A luxurious room.

"Miss Yueyue, my elder brother is the Living Yama, the Living Yama who has gone crazy with killing. He is a brother-protecting maniac and has a famously violent temper. If you don't give a discount tonight, I'm afraid my brother will even behead you when he returns to Changancheng. At that time, I won't dare to stop him!"
