Lu Yan rushed from Handan to Gaoyi as quickly as possible, regardless of wind or snow.
The place where the fight took place has been covered with thick snow, and the bodies have long been collected by the local officials. There are almost no clues in this vast white land.
"Kaka~"
Lu Yan stepped down and sank deeply into the snow. He turned around in a circle, took a deep breath, and held the Changhong Sword in his hand.
Fire dances in the whirlwind.
The cold wind gradually turned into hot wind, and the powerful internal force spread out, slowly melting the snow nearby.
"too slow."
Lu Yan was still dissatisfied, his eyes narrowed, the sword power around his body surged, and the Changhong Sword turned into a lightsaber.
The rainbow pierces the sun, and one sword returns to the truth.
With this sword strike, with him as the center, the patches of snow melted away in the blink of an eye.
Everyone who followed Lu Yan was dumbfounded.
Feng Jie opened his mouth, ate a lot of snowflakes, and exclaimed: "I have always heard that Master Guoshi is very powerful in martial arts, but I never imagined that he could be so strong."
The Zhu family put on a sad face and sighed: "It doesn't matter if you are strong in martial arts, your manpower will eventually be exhausted."
After Lu Yan melted the snow, the people who set up the trap took the time to search the ground. Lu Yan used Qing Gong to fly to the next place and repeated his old trick.
Just one piece of land after another.
Feng Jie was riding on the horse. Looking at Lu Yan like this, he felt very unhappy.
Zhu Jia shook his head and jumped into the snow, his hands waving with yellow light, "The summer is full of light and the summer heat is connected."
The twenty-four solar terms startling fingers, of which the six fingers belonging to summer form a network of internal forces, covering the snow under his control, the snow immediately melts at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Oh, I can't compare to the Imperial Master~"
Lu Yan, the Zhu family, and everyone in Luo Wang all tried their best.
Unfortunately, trying your best does not mean good results.
On this trip, all their efforts were in vain. After melting the snow, they did not find any valuable clues on the land.
With a cold face, Lu Yan went to the local government to remove all the corpses, and escorted more than 2,000 people involved in the fighting to Handan.
…
In the Handan Imperial Prefect's Mansion, Nong Yu and Ju Shuang looked at each other, because Lu Yan came back this time and locked himself in the study with a rare expression on his face.
After understanding the specific situation, both of them could understand why Lu Yan was in such a bad mood.
"The armed fight in Gaoyi was most likely instigated by someone behind the scenes, but no matter who was behind it, those two thousand people were indeed participants in the armed fight.
The law of Qin has just begun. This kind of large-scale armed fighting directly tramples the law prohibiting private fighting into the ground as a collective behavior. For the majesty of the legislation, more than two thousand people must be killed."
Ju Shuang is very calm, and what he says will basically be the final way to handle the matter.
Nongyu's bright star eyes became a little dim.
Husband, I have to endure that pain again.
Those innocent people who could have cultivated the newly divided fields would have been relieved of their burdens and could at least survive the next year happily.
But after a fight, everything was gone. It was clear that these innocent people were just being designed and used, but the butcher's knife still wanted to chop on them.
Because they were participants in the armed fight and had indeed seriously violated the law.
Because if a sign like "Fa Bu Bu Zhong" pops up at this time, all the previous efforts in Zhao Di will be in vain.
"Sister, I'm going to see my husband first." Nong Yu was still worried, so she told Ju Shuang, then turned around and went to the study.
Ju Shuang nodded slightly and looked at her back with a trace of envy in his eyes.
"Mother~Mother~"
A soft call came to her ears, and she turned around to see Ji Yan sticking his head out of the door.
Ji Yan looked around for a moment, then walked up and asked carefully: "Mom, I just saw Uncle Lu's face was scary. What happened?"
Ju Shuang looked back at the study again, holding Ji Yan's hand and leading her out.
It's snowing outside.
"Ayan, if you could save the world by plucking one of your own hairs, would you do it?"
Ji Yan didn't quite understand the sudden question, and asked directly: "Mother, isn't this an allusion to Yang Zhu's unyielding attitude? Why are you asking me this suddenly?"
Ju Shuang lowered his head and looked at her gently, "Just answer me."
Ji Yan nodded happily, "I'll pull it out."
"Then if killing one person could save the world, would you do it?"
"Yeah~ I can do it."
"Then if you could save the world by killing 10,000 people, would you do it?"
"……I can."
"Then if you commit suicide and save the world, will you do it?"
"What?!" Ji Yan was startled.
Gu Shuang did not force her daughter to give an answer to this last question. She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the snowflakes blown by the cold wind falling on her face and melting, "You once said that you dreamed of becoming someone like your Uncle Lu. So in the future,
In the days to come, you should always ask yourself the same questions I asked you today."
"Uncle Lu?" Ji Yan couldn't help but glance at the window of Lu Yan's study.
"When you can make a choice from the bottom of your heart without hesitation, no matter what your choice is, your mother will be proud of you."
…
In the study, Nong Yu put her hands on Lu Yan's shoulders and squeezed him continuously.
"Husband, can you catch the person behind the scenes?"
Lu Yan closed his eyes and shook his head, "The place where the incident occurred and all the corpses have been thoroughly investigated, and the remaining people in custody are being interrogated. However, the people in the dark have reached this point, and there will definitely be no one alive.
Leaving holes."
"Could it be an accident? They were used to fighting privately in the past."
"No. The cause of the whole incident was that someone moved the landmark designated by the government. The incident was triggered by a young man named Ayun who had his leg broken.
No one could tell how the landmark was moved. The people who beat A-yun all died in the fight, and their leader Gao Lao also died.
The clues that may lead to the origin of the whole thing have been broken. One or two are coincidences, but all of them are broken. I don't think it is a coincidence."
When Nong Yu saw him answering her questions seriously and analyzing it for herself, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
She put her face next to Lu Yan's side and joined in the speculation very seriously: "I heard that those people once belonged to two feudal princes. Could it be that the feudal princes were resentful of being deprived of their privileges and instigated this incident?
Fighting with weapons, deliberately creating a stumbling block for your husband, Qin Fa."
Lu Yan sighed in admiration and smiled knowingly, "Ha, my wife has the same opinion as me. I also speculated the same. Unfortunately, there is no evidence."
Nong Yu suddenly moved in front of him, leaned down and sat on Lu Yan's lap, put her arms around his neck and said, "Husband, when the day of execution comes, I want to go with you."
Lu Yan hugged her and was stunned, "Huh? What are you doing in a place like that?"
"You're not saying that husband and wife should grow up together. If I were here, I could share some of it with you. As a wife, I should at least feel the same for what my husband is suffering."
After hearing this, Lu Yan acquiesced and hugged the person in his arms tighter.
