Supreme Son-in-law

The pressure on Chen Yang's body was very strong. He had only felt this kind of pressure from Emperor Xiong before. No... it was even stronger than Emperor Xiong's.    

"I'll be leaving first. I'll leave the rest to you!"    

After saying that, Chen Yang strode out of the warehouse, leaving Grandmaster Guan who wanted to cry but had no tears.    

At the same time, in the City Lord's Mansion's imperial prison!    

Yuen Tiangaang was whipped until his whole body was covered in blood. The minor official in the imperial prison was ruthless and his whip was soaked with salt water. With a single whip, he was on the verge of death.    

"Tell me, how did the young city lord die?!"    

"Tell me earlier, and perhaps you will suffer less physical pain!"    

"The city lord has already sent troops to surround and annihilate the Yuan Prefecture. In a while, you will be able to reunite with your family. I heard that the Yuen Family's Eldest Miss is extremely ugly. I don't know if it is true or not, but I will definitely take a closer look later!"    

"Hahaha..."    

Everyone used torture to interrogate her while attacking her heart. Both of them attacked at the same time.    

Ning Kang was dead. If they couldn't find anything useful from the torture, they would be the unlucky ones.    

They knew very well how cruel Ning Tianxiong was.    

"I'm not guilty. Ning Tianxiong will die a horrible death!"    

Yuen Tiangaang's shoulder blade had been pierced through, and his strength had been severely restricted. He was the patriarch of the Yuan family, the City Patroller of Wuwei City, but today, he had fallen to such a state.    

"You're courting death!"    

The warden slammed the table and picked up the red-hot iron from the charcoal basin. He grinned hideously and was about to burn Yuen Tiangaang's face.    

"Stop!"    

At this moment, a loud shout came from behind. Yan Tu had arrived with the guard!    

The prison guard was startled by the sudden sound. He turned around and saw a palm that was like a cattail leaf fan.    

"Pa!"    

The slap directly sent him flying. Half of the teeth in his mouth were directly slapped off.    

"Chief, Yan Tu is late!"    

Looking at Yuen Tiangaang, who was nailed to the cross by the lute bone, Yan Tu's eyes turned red. He walked to the guard general's side and pulled out the long knife from his waist. As the knife fell, the head of the guard was instantly cut off.    

"Puff!"    

Blood gushed out like a fountain. There was still fear on his face.    

The minor officials in the imperial prison all sucked in a breath of cold air, their faces turning pale with fright.    

The guards of City Lord's Mansion did not dare to make a sound. Chen Yang had said it himself. From now on, Yuen Tiangaang would be the new city lord of Wuwei City. These damned bastards had beaten Yuen Tiangaang to such a state! He deserved to die!    

After killing the old man, Yan Tu wasn't able to vent his anger. He raised his hand and chopped down two more minor officials.    

The remaining minor officials were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.    

"Clang! Clang!"    

Yan Tu threw down the blood-stained long knife and quickly released Yuen Tiangaang from his restraints.    

"Chief, bear with it. I'm going to pull it out."    

Yuen Tiangaang was confused by the pain, and he subconsciously nodded his head.    

"Gengci!"    

Yan Tu suddenly exerted his strength, and Yuen Tiangaang cried out in pain.    

He quickly took out the remaining Recovery Pills from the other brothers and poured them into Yuen Tiangaang's mouth.    

The powerful medical strength instantly stopped the worsening wound.    

Yan Tu carried the unconscious Yuen Tiangaang on his back and left the Imperial Prison.    

In Shadowlight Mansion, tens of thousands of miles away, the Registration Office was worshipping the life tokens of all the officials in Shadowlight Mansion.    

"Kaka!"    

Right at this moment, one of the jade tokens shattered, and the light within it instantly dimmed.    

The officials who were dozing down below were instantly jolted awake.    

"Not good, the Wuwei City City Lord's life plate has shattered!"    

That official hurriedly ran out of the Registration Division, attracting the attention of countless officials.    

In an antique study, Middle-aged man, who was wearing a green robe, was holding a brush and pouring ink.    

"Master of Prefecture Platform. No... Not good, the City Lord of Wuwei City is dead!"    

Before the man arrived, his voice had already reached his ears.    

Middle-aged man's brush did not stop, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, "If there's anything, we can talk after I finish drawing."    

The official shrunk his neck. He knew that he had violated the prefectural lord's taboo, so he put his hands down and stood to the side, not daring to speak anymore.    

An hour later, a landscape painting appeared on the paper.    

The man put down the pen in his hand, "Why are you so flustered?"    

"Sir, the city master of Wuwei City, Ning Tianxiong, died. Do you need to send a new official?"    

"Do you need to ask me about such a small matter?"    

Middle-aged man's expression was indifferent. He didn't care about Ning Tianxiong's death at all. Wuwei City was the most inconspicuous one among the hundreds of cities in Shadowlight Mansion. There was a beast tide near the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Not only was it unable to pay taxes, but it was also subsidized every year. This was unacceptable to him, who was ambitious and wanted to be promoted.    

"If that trash dies, then so be it. Once the beast tide passes, I'll just send someone to clean up the mess!"    

"Yes, Sir!"    

The officials were not surprised by the attitude of the Minister. In a small city like Wuwei City, there was no profit at all, and the terrain was remote. A beast tide broke out in three years, who would be willing to go there?    

Forget it, let's wait for the beast tide to pass first. We'll drag it out for two to three months, then casually arrange for an unlucky person to go there!    

After waiting for the officials to become powerful, the governor sneered, "This time, all of you should be able to eat your fill!"    

...    

Wuwei City, Yuan Prefecture!    

Steward Mei led hundreds of well-equipped servants to guard the front door. His face was full of determination, and he swore to defend the Yuen Family.    

In the past, there was an endless stream of people walking on the wide street, but today, not even a dog could be seen.    

Right at this moment, neat footsteps could be heard. Steward Mei's face changed dramatically, "They are here!"    

"Everyone, listen up! Raise your weapons!"    

"Raise!"    

Hundreds of long spears that were several dozen zhang long were raised. The sharp spears seemed to want to pierce through the darkness.    

Each of them had the courage to appraise and go straight forward.    

They were born in the Yuen Family and grew up in the Yuen Family. They swore to live and die together with the Yuen Family.    

"Steward Mei, open the door! Steward Mei, open the door!"    

From afar, Yan Tu's voice could be heard.    

It was... It was Master Shi's voice!    

Steward Mei's expression changed, and then the voice came closer. Yan Tu, who carried Yuen Tiangaang on his back, rushed over with an anxious look on his face.    

Behind him were thousands of City Lord's Mansion's soldiers and generals, and they were carrying nine corpses.    

"Charge!"    

Steward Mei didn't have time to think about it. He thought that these people were chasing Yan Tu, so he asked the servants to point their spears at the soldiers of City Lord's Mansion.    

"Wrong, wrong, wrong. Steward Mei, quickly put away the long spear. They are friends, not enemies!"    

Yan Tu shouted, knowing that Steward Mei had made a mistake.    

Steward Mei looked confused. Suddenly, he saw the unconscious Yuen Tiangaang behind Yan Tu. He quickly went up to him.    

"Master Shi, the patriarch..."    

"The patriarch is fine. He just passed out due to his injuries. I have already fed him the Recovery Pill. His life is no longer in danger!"    

Steward Mei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "Then uncle and the rest..."    

"Don't mention that beast."    

Yan Tu gritted his teeth and said. "All ten of our brothers were killed by him. If it wasn't for Senior saving me at the critical moment, I would have died too!"    

"How is this possible..."    

Steward Mei was dumbfounded.    

"It's a long story. Let's settle the family head first."    

Yan Tu hurriedly carried his men into Yuan Prefecture. When the City Lord's Mansion soldiers carried the nine corpses over, Steward Mei finally reacted.    

The ten great pagodas of the Yuan Prefecture were so powerful, but Yan Tu was the only one left alive today!    

"Get out of the way, let me in!"    

A Middle-aged man with a mustache squeezed out from behind, "Where's Master Yuan? Let me in to see him!"    

Steward Mei immediately recognized this man as Grandmaster Guan, who was standing beside Ning Tianxiong. He immediately looked at him with hostility.    

"You are not allowed to enter!"    

"You old fool, get out of my way. I am the grandmaster of City Lord's Mansion. From now on, City Lord Yuan will be the new master of Wuwei City. As the grandmaster, of course, I have to stay by his side!"    

Grandmaster Guan's words dumbfounded Steward Mei. What... what was going on?    

Yuen Tiangaang was the new city lord of Wuwei City. How was this possible?    

Where did they put Ning Tianxiong?    

"Don't speak nonsense. The city lord of Wuwei City is clearly Ning Tianxiong!"    

"What do you know? Ning Tianxiong has already become my master..."    

Speaking up to this point, Grandmaster Guan shivered and almost slipped out of his mouth. He quickly corrected himself and said, "Ning Tianxiong has done all kinds of evil deeds. He has already been beheaded by an expert of Senior. The city lord of Yuan City was selected and promoted by that Senior."    

What?    

Ning Tianxiong was dead?    

The Ning Tianxiong who had occupied the Wuwei City for decades was dead!    

Grandmaster Guan was Ning Tianxiong's favorite, so he naturally wouldn't lie to him.    

Furthermore, the soldiers standing beside him were the generals of City Lord's Mansion. They did not refute him. It must be true!    

"You should believe it now, right?"    

Grandmaster Guan said as he was about to enter.    

"You are not allowed to go in!"    

Steward Mei hastily blocked his path, "Without the permission of the patriarch, no one is allowed to step into Yuan Prefecture!"    

"You... you old fool, why are you so inflexible?"    

Grandmaster Guan was also annoyed. If it wasn't for Chen Yang's repeated instructions, he would have rushed in already. How dare a Simplicity Returning Stage butler challenge him in front of him? He was simply courting death.    

Although he was afraid of death, he still had the fierceness in his bones.    

"I said I won't let him go! I won't let him go!"    

Steward Mei was not afraid of him at all. The hundreds of Ding Family members behind him all pointed their long spears at Grandmaster Guan!    

Just as Grandmaster Guan was feeling humiliated and angry, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.    

When he heard this voice, Grandmaster Guan's expression changed indeterminately.    

Suddenly, the anger on his face faded, and his attitude became very sincere. He walked to Steward Mei and cupped his fists, "Elder brother, I was a little rude when I spoke just now. Don't take it to heart. I was only so anxious because I was worried about City Lord Yuan. Please forgive me!"    

When he said this, not only were the Yuan Family members stunned, even the soldiers and generals of City Lord's Mansion behind him were dumbfounded!
