Transmigrating into a Demon Spirit to Blow up the Entire World Chapter 143.4

Chapter 143: Prince’s little quilt 18 (part 4 of 4)

Yuwen Yin frowned worriedly. The ancient books mentions not to speak of unearthly matters. Although, even Emperor Qing had once believed in superst.i.tious legends such as ascending to become an immortal and such. But as an Emperor, there was no way he would allow anyone to override his imperial power. The spread of the phrase ‘Long live the Celestial Deity’ alone would cause Emperor Qing to be greatly jealous, which might even be detrimental to the little quilt.

Yuwen Yin immediately went to Shen Tong’s side, and said in a resounding voice like a large bell: “This is the G.o.dly doctor Shen whom this prince has invited. He also specifically came here for the epidemic and the sick people. Don’t be rude!”

The little quilt, who became incessantly embarra.s.sed because of the two words ‘Celestial Deity’, swiftly nodded in response to Yuwen Yin’s words, then said soon after: “The environment here is really not suitable for treatment. I will head to the government office with His Royal Highness and all the medical officers. Anyone who is sick, or has a sick family member, can go line up at the gate of the government office for treatment……”

Hearing this, everyone immediately shed tears of grat.i.tude and changed the address from ‘Celestial Deity’ to ‘G.o.dly Doctor’, then consciously gave way to make a path for them.

The Jiuliancheng County soon began a methodical treatment procedure.

From batch isolation to the follow-up treatment, both soldiers and medical officers, as well as the common people had all performed their duties in an orderly manner. After having carelessly killed no less than 10 small worms, the little quilt finally succeeded in pulling out a live one. In the naked eye, it only seemed to look like that barely perceptible sharp end of a needle. But with the use of the divine sense, one could perceive that it was constantly twisting and wriggling both of it’s raised feeler, as if to coquettishly beg the little quilt for mercy.

The problematic plague was smoothly solved in this manner.

The most fortunate person among them would be governor Ye Yuanxing, as he was able to breathe out a huge sigh of relief at that same night. His heart, which had been hanged up high for a few days, finally returned to peace, with a feeling that he would finally be able to have a good night’s rest today. For that reason, he completely didn’t expect to be suddenly surrounded by the imperial guards led by Chen Wu and Xiong Wei after nightfall. The chilly gleam reflected from the swords were extremely chilling, just like the frosty ice in deep winter.

Yuwen Yin slowly walked out from behind the encirclement, with graceful and light steps. But his whole body’s momentum was very sharp and intimidating. Such combination exudes a kind of dangerous and bewildering charm.

Ye Yuanxing subconsciously and covertly clenched his fists tightly, but still maintained a guiltless and fl.u.s.tered expression on the surface, “Why is His Highness arresting this humble official? May I ask what crime this humble official has committed?”

“Sir Ye, this prince doesn’t have the time to go in circles with you, and also loath to beat around the bush you,” Yuwen Yin then went straight to the point: “Hand over the ledger, and this prince may let you keep your life.”

“This lowly subject doesn’t understand what Your Highness is talking about,” Ye Yuanxing continued to act ignorant, “What ledger?”

Yuwen Yin abruptly walked over then answered the question with another question: “Why do you think that the plague suddenly spread from Liujia Village to Jiuliancheng County? And what reason do you think this prince rushed over here throughout the night?”

Ye Yuanxing’s heart sank. But Yuwen Yin brought up Emperor Qing, after having completed in trying to extract information by deceit: “His Majesty has already learned about the sales of private salt by both the Jiang and w.a.n.g family, so this prince was specially sent here to do a thorough investigation. — When things finally reaches this point, the master behind you will no longer be able to protect themselves, let alone you.”

Yuwen Yin’s lies were more compelling than the truth, that it actually caused Ye Yuanxing to fall in utter panic, thinking that this was the truth. Yuwen Yin’s direct gaze turned even sharper, just like an arrow that could pierce a person’s heart: “If you want to save yourself, then you need to hand over that ledger, this is the only way. Otherwise, this prince will have no choice but to act in accordance with the law, and directly execute your family on the spot!”

Even those battle-tested people would still be unable to have such a gaze, as if having gone through purgatory and a sea of blood.

In just 5 days, the deeds of the G.o.dly doctor little quilt in the people were promulgated by the common people until it was almost known to all. Moreover, the information about the matter of the plague having been solved and Ye Yuanxing having been detained by Yuwenyin were all pa.s.sed back to the capital.

The head of the Jiang family, Jiang Likai, instantly began to panic the moment he heard the news. But he firmly believed that Ye Yuanxing was merely implicated by the plague. The charges should be nothing more than the ineffective control over the epidemic situation. So, he only thought of methods in how to save Ye Yuanxing. If he can’t even keep his subordinates, then who would still be willing to lay their lives down for him in the future. Most importantly, if the matter about the private sale of salt were discovered by Yuwen Yin, then everything would truly be over.

In spite of the fact, that Ye Yuanxing privately works for the Jiang family, but he was actually promoted to a higher position by Qi w.a.n.g on the outside. After having a discussion with w.a.n.g Hong, Jiang Likai decided to persuade Qi w.a.n.g to make a personal appearance.

Qi w.a.n.g was an empty-headed person to begin with, and usually spends a lot of money from the hefty sum he took from the Jiang family. The high profit from the Jiang family, as well as the persuasion of Qi w.a.n.gfei made him agree. So he accordingly brought up this matter in the royal court on the following day.

But to his astonishment, he was interrupted by a pile of memorials and books that were ruthlessly thrown down by an enraged Emperor Qing before he could say all the things he wanted to say.

却不料他的话还没落音，便被青帝盛怒之下狠摔过来的一堆奏章和册子打断。

“You’ve formed a faction for personal interest to transport private salt, and have deceived the monarch by committing such crimes, yet you still dare to plead for injustice! We’ve unexpectedly been deceived by such extremely daring wolf-hearted traitors like you for so many years. It’s really hateful, such sin really deserves a thousand cuts!!”

As it turns out, Yuwen Yin had already secretly returned to the capital last night, and had presented the human testimonies as well as the material evidences that very night to Emperor Qing. Qi w.a.n.g’s act of taking action before thinking caused Emperor Qing to label him as an accomplice of Jiang Likai and the others.

The betrayal of two important ministers and Qi, his biological younger brother, had not only made the always conceited Emperor Qing fly into rage out of humiliation, but also couldn’t help but even make him think of a possible conspiracy to usurp his throne. So much so, that he almost couldn’t breath. He wobbly clutched his chest, which frightened Court Eunuch, Liu f.u.xing, who was by his side and had always looked after him, to hurriedly step forward to support him.

Everyone present on the scene knew that the Jiang and w.a.n.g family were probably finished. Even more so, Jiang Likai, who was immediately charged for eight major crimes in the royal court. Aside from the collusion with the Southern Xinjiang and conspiracy of treason, which were still under investigation. He was almost directly convicted for the other six crimes. Emperor Qing’s health, which was declining day by day through these past years, had unexpectedly made him fall ill in anger. So, the retrial was directly handed over to Yuwen Yin and Wei Song. On top of that, Yuwen Yin was rewarded for his merits and deeds. Such as being bestowed the t.i.tle of Jin w.a.n.g, which which was two more bead than the original t.i.tle of Qi w.a.n.g. Obtaining the permission to build the Jin w.a.n.g mansion in the capital, as well as being bestowed a Prince’s fief.

Yuwen Yin had already reached the age in leaving the palace to build a mansion more than half a year ago. So, he didn’t waste time in choosing a mansion, and directly chose the mansion that the late Emperor had once rewarded the Emperor’s son-in-law, Anping.

The inner area of the mansion was quite s.p.a.cious. The layout was also intricate and unique, the location was incredibly satisfactory as well, which was in-between noisy and quiet. Although the garden and lotus pond appeared decrepit because of having been left unattended for a long time, but it can still be gorgeously restored with just a simple renovation.

One went in and another went out, but there were still an endless stream of court ministers gathered outside. There were even several colleagues exchanging greetings with each other.

“With Jin w.a.n.g’s current luck, who do you think would still be able to catch up?”

Qu Hong, a High official in the Ministry of Justice, who had also rushed over to visit Yuwen Yin, couldn’t help from shaking his head after seeing the endless stream outside Jin w.a.n.g’s mansion.

Another official quietly sighed: “This is also the good fortune of Jin w.a.n.g. A plague of no return, could also have the a.s.sistance of a G.o.dly doctor, and be able to return safe and sound……”

Not knowing that the G.o.dly doctor they were talking about was currently asking for a reward from Yuwen Yin at this moment. The youth very proudly raised his chin up high and asked: “I’ve done you a great help this time, isn’t this really awesome? How will you thank me for it?”

Yuwen Yin drew the person in his embrace, then fixedly looked at him with an affectionate gaze as deep as the sea, and said in an unprecedentedly serious manner: “I, Yuwen Yin, will never brush aside Shen Tong’s grace in this lifetime.”

Yuwen Yin didn’t say anything about living up to his love or righteousness, but used the word ‘grace’ instead. The ancient people’s regard for the word ‘grace’ was unimaginable. In Dayu Dynasty, this word was completely parallel to ‘filial piety’. Especially for people like Yuwen Yin, as this was the highest promise he can give.

Truth be told, the foodie little quilt only wanted Yuwen Yin to take him out to eat a big meal. Thus, he mumbled before saying again: “They said that a drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring. Since I have graced you, shouldn’t you repay me properly?”

“Burst of spring?” Yuwen Yin unexpectedly quirked his brows. He bowed his head and placed a kiss between the youth’s eyebrows, then quietly said afterwards: “Rest a.s.sured. I’ll certainly cherish you well. All the burst of spring that comes out from me are all yours.”

The little quilt didn’t understand the implication right away.
