Chapter 975: Undercurrents surging, the three-day deadline has arrived!

~3 min read 591 words

The Cui family.

Cui Xinghe was sleeping on a soft bed, eating grapes fed by his father's concubine, when he heard the news, he stood up in shock, his face full of disbelief.

"What?"

"The Living Yama visited Suiyang Prefecture incognito, was arrested by the Qingshui County Magistrate and thrown into prison, suffered torture, and was therefore furious, beheading the Magistrate, Private Secretary, and Constable, and wants to question the politics of the entire Suiyang Prefecture?"

Cui Xinghe was somewhat incredulous.

In all of Changan, if one were to talk about who understands Gao Yang the best and is still alive, he, Cui Xinghe, dares to say second, and no one dares to say first!

But precisely because of this, he felt shocked.

What kind of person is the Living Yama? He holds great power and visited a mere Suiyang Prefecture incognito; could he be arrested by a Magistrate and tortured?

After the assassination by the Wuqing Sect, his side must have been a fortress of copper and iron!

Something is wrong!

Something is one hundred percent wrong!

And the most ridiculous thing is, if a black shop that had been operating locally for decades hadn't moved against Gao Yang, that would be one thing, but since they moved against him, could the Living Yama not know about the collusion between officials and merchants?

Even he, Cui Xinghe, thought of this; he is smarter than a monkey, the Black Qilin Living Yama famous throughout Changan City—could he not know?

Cui Xinghe, in a blue long robe, walked out of the room, his expression solemn. He looked in the direction of Suiyang Prefecture, his gaze gradually becoming unbearable.

The officials of Suiyang Prefecture might still be fantasizing that this questioning would be like previous imperial envoys sent down—thunderous but little rain, raised high and lowered gently.

But Cui Xinghe clearly knew that the Living Yama was about to go on a killing spree.

Because behind every unreasonable point, there must be a reasonable cause!

Not only did the Living Yama do it on purpose, but he also took the initiative to take whips in prison, so this matter became terrifying.

The General's Mansion.

Wang Zhong heard the news, his tiger eyes widened.

He slapped the table in anger and cursed, "Damn it, I knew something was wrong. It's one thing that the Living Yama didn't attend court, but even that Gao Changwen hasn't been to a brothel for ten days—could this matter be small?"

"So he was ordered by the Emperor to visit the world incognito!"

"That old thing Lu Wen even said the Living Yama caught a cold and wished the Living Yama would die of illness; how stupid, how stupid!"

Wang Zhong spat out profanity, cursing!

The Duke of Ding's Mansion.

Gao Tianlong received the news and also plucked out a beard in a fit of rage.

"What?"

"Yang'er was arrested and thrown into prison, suffered torture, and now wants to question the politics of Suiyang Prefecture and stand up for the commoners?"

Both of these things made him feel incredible.

Gao Feng was also in disbelief.

"This rebellious son could actually cause such a big commotion and really do some practical things for the commoners, my god!"

He got up and left.

Gao Tianlong asked, "Where are you going?"

"Father, I'm going to offer incense to our ancestors, and go take a look at the ancestral grave to see if it's smoking, and whether I need to bring water to extinguish it!"
