Chapter 1118

Yuan Ji's persuasion not only didn't make Yuan Shu grateful.

Instead, it brought Yuan Shu's resentful gaze.

"Unrepentant!"

Yuan Wei broke free from Yuan Ji's hand, and the bamboo board fell on Yuan Shu's back again.

"Get back. Stupid thing. From now on, if I know you come out of the Huben camp, you go back to your hometown in Runan to farm!"

"Lustful and cruel, you will never accomplish anything in your life."

Yuan Wei's angry shout echoed in the hall.

Yuan Shu dared to look at Yuan Ji with angry eyes, but he didn't dare to have any dissatisfied expression toward his uncle Yuan Wei.

Although Yuan Wei was only his uncle, he was also the current head of the Yuan family.

As long as Yuan Wei said one word, his future and prospects would be ruined.

It was really possible to be sent back to his hometown in Runan to farm.

Yuan Shu, who put on his clothes in silence, stood up, held the armor thrown on the ground, and walked toward the outside of the hall without looking back.

Until Yuan Shu left, Yuan Wei, his anger not yet subsided, said coldly: "Now immediately send people to that idiot's home, catch everyone who had contact with that dead spy, and ask clearly where that dead spy usually went and who she met."

"Also, except for the maids and servants who had contact with that dead spy, execute all the others."

Yuan Ji, standing on the side, couldn't help but shudder and lowered his head to receive the order.

With this one sentence, hundreds of lives would be lost because of this.

Yuan Wei threw the bamboo board in his hand aside and walked slowly to his seat.

"Uncle, Gonglu revealed our previous plan to use Zhang Feng to borrow a knife to kill. I think no matter who arranged this dead spy, if this person really has the heart to deal with the Yuan family, they will definitely tell Duan Yu about this."

"Should we..."

"Strike first?"

Yuan Wei looked up at Yuan Ji and asked: "You mean... eliminate Zhang Feng?"

Yuan Ji nodded and said: "Dead men tell no tales. Only if Zhang Feng dies can this matter be considered dead men tell no tales."

"Zhang Feng took the opportunity of diagnosing His Majesty to use the method of conflicting pharmacology to harm His Majesty, and finally... committed suicide out of fear of crime."

"In this way, this matter will not implicate us."

Yuan Wei narrowed his eyes and thought.

An extremely ominous feeling kept lingering in his heart.

For decades, it had always been the Yuan family calculating others. When had the Yuan family, which had taken root in Luoyang for so many years, the Yuan family of four generations and three excellencies, ever been calculated by others like this?

The time Hongchan entered the residence had been verified; it was shortly after Duan Yu had just risen to prominence, in the early stage of the Taiping Dao rebellion.

Although it couldn't be confirmed now, Yuan Wei always felt in his heart that this matter couldn't be separated from Duan Yu.

"Duan Yu..."

Yuan Wei's eyes, like a fox's, narrowed into a line.

"This old man wants to see if you can turn the world upside down."

Yuan Wei said in a gloomy tone: "No need to pay attention to Zhang Feng."

"Even if Duan Yu finds Zhang Feng, so what? Who can prove that we incited Zhang Feng?"

"You just went to talk to Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng retaliated against Dong Zhuo because Duan Yu occupied his wife and he bore hatred. What does it have to do with us?"

"Since Duan Yu wants to make trouble, then good, let him make trouble as he pleases!"

"Hmph hmph." Yuan Wei gave a cold snort.

"Ah?"

Yuan Ji, standing on the side, was a bit puzzled.

"Uncle, we just let Duan Yu..."

"Let him?" Yuan Wei raised his hand to interrupt Yuan Ji's words and said: "You think Duan Yu can flourish in Liangzhou now because he is powerful?"

"Hmph hmph, you think too simply."

"Duan Yu also thinks too simply."

"The reason he can act recklessly in Liangzhou is because that is Liangzhou!"

"Once Duan Yu has the heart and idea of wanting to walk out of Liangzhou, do you think the people of the world can tolerate him?"

"This world is the world of scholars, not the world of Duan Yu. The set of things he implements in Liangzhou is the biggest stumbling block for him to leave Liangzhou."

"You think the scholars of the world, and those imperial relatives and nobles, or the clansmen of the Han family, can really tolerate him?"

"As long as he dares to have this heart to walk out of Liangzhou, the world will oppose him!" Yuan Wei said firmly.

And hearing these words, Yuan Ji suddenly seemed to understand something.
