Chapter 504: Surrender and Seek Help
Li Xianghong pondered the decision of this lord for a moment, then looked at Fan Wuzhe lying on the ground, "Dong Wenshu should be coming for him, how is Lord Poyuan going to deal with him?"

Po Yuan also thought for a moment, and slowly said: "The matter of Yaoyue City is someone else's business, and has nothing to do with our sacred mountain. As for how Yaoyue City will deal with him in the future, it is none of our business if they haven't found us. Since the ancestor of that pavilion owner was the teacher of the Demon Queen, we have to give him face for the reputation of the 'Demon Queen'. The rest is a family matter, so let's send him back and let the pavilion owner deal with it himself."

Li Xianghong understood what he meant, and turned to the person who came to report, "Tell Dong Wenshu to go back first, and someone will personally deliver it to him later."

"Yes." The person who came to report took the order and left.

When he arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion, he conveyed the City Lord's intention to the visiting Dong Wenshu and his son.

This statement proved that the rumors outside were true and Fan Wuzhe was really arrested.

Dong Wenshu bowed and asked, "May I ask why the city lord wants to arrest Fan Wuzhe?"

"I'm not sure about that. Mr. Dong Wen, you'd better go back first." The visitor gestured with his hand and politely sent the guest away.

What could the father and son do? The city lord had already given them instructions, so they could not do anything else and had to leave.

There are not many people living at the foot of the mountain who are qualified to reach the top of the mountain, so it is an honor for the father and son to have such treatment.

The two of them went down the mountain and just returned to Chaoyue Pavilion when they heard a commotion outside and saw a group of unfamiliar faces rushing in.

"Who is it?" Dong Wenshu shouted.

The leader showed a token, which made Dong Wenshu shut up.

"Dad, what happened?" The frightened eldest daughter Dong Liangyi asked, and while asking this question she subconsciously glanced at Shi Chun beside her.

She was worried that it might be related to Shi Chun's sneaking out last night and was discovered?
Not only her, but the four siblings were all shocked by the scene. They had never seen such a scene in their own home.

When the second lady Dong Liangyu's uneasy gaze accidentally swept over Shi Chun, she paused again and found that Shi Chun did not have any abnormal reaction.

At this time, the biggest abnormality was the lack of abnormal reaction. The whole family was in a state of anxiety, but this person alone seemed calm and composed, just like a bystander who had nothing to do with him. This mentality was too good.

After a group of intruders entered, the person who was at the end closed the door, and the first intruders quickly went into the various corners of the house to guard. By entering the interior, they surrounded the entire house, thus saving the conspicuous noise of those guarding outside.

Not long after, someone came from the backyard and said, "Mr. Dong Wen, the city lord wants to see you."

The whole family hurried to the backyard, only to see Li Xianghong with long hair already appeared in the inner courtyard. To be honest, her long hair did not look good.

Not only does it look ugly, but the overall combination also looks a bit weird.

Shi Chun had never seen him, but he had heard that the city lord had very long hair, so he knew who it was at first sight.

Po Yuan, who came with them, moved his eyes slightly and looked at Shi Chun. To others, the city lord was the center of attention, but this person seemed to notice him quickly among the crowd, and his reaction was different from that of others.

Shi Chun also realized something and quickly looked away.

There was no other way. He opened his right eye and used his special ability to identify the true forms of these people. He could tell at a glance that the brown-haired man in bamboo green clothes had a more powerful source of power than the city lord. He was not wearing the standard uniform of the city guards, and his attitude did not show any intention of submitting to the city lord.

Combined with the identities of the two pursuers Huang Yingying killed during her so-called earth escape, he had already guessed about this person's identity.

Dong Wenshu's family, who were about to step forward to pay their respects to the city lord, suddenly focused their attention on the side and behind Li Xianghong and others. On a stretcher lay a man with disheveled hair, who was clearly Fan Wuzhe. He was covered with a blanket with occasional drops of blood.

Dong Wenshu immediately rushed forward, lifted the blanket and took a look. He was stunned at first sight.

The four siblings who followed behind were also very frightened, and some even turned their heads away, not daring to look directly. There was no way, the flesh on Fan Wuzhe's limbs was peeled off.

It was a living person, with his limbs and bones visible directly. Most people had never seen such a cruel scene.

Meeting the panicked eyes of the Third Miss Dong Liangying, Shi Chun saw the figure beside him from her gaze. The suspicious eyes of the brown-haired man seemed to be glancing at him again.

So Shi Chun stood on tiptoe, stretched his head to look through the crowd, and then immediately covered his face with his hands in fear, looking like he was so scared.

In fact, he had seen many more cruel situations than this.

He had seen cooked food being gnawed with the bones and flesh still attached, he had also seen uncooked food being gnawed raw with blood all over it, and there were even some that were hard to describe in words, so this was nothing to him at all.

After the blanket was put on, Dong Wenshu's face turned pale. He bowed to Li Xianghong and said, "May I ask why you tortured him like this, City Lord?"

Li Xianghong said indifferently: "You should ask him what good things he has done."

The siblings also slowly turned their heads.

Dong Wenshu leaned over and stared at the weak Fan Wuzhe and asked, "Azhe, what's going on?"

Fan Wuzhe was speechless. He closed his eyes and two tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

Po Yuan interrupted lightly, "The injured needs treatment, so let's carry him back to his room first. Where is his room?"

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the three sisters. The three sisters looked in the same direction, either quickly or slowly, and then Dong Liangyi hurried forward to lead the way.

Po Yuan tilted his head to signal, and the people accompanying him immediately began to search the entire front and back courtyards.

Although the whole family was disgusted by this, they could no longer care about it at this time.

Before Fan Wuzhe was carried into the room, Po Yuan shouted "Wait", stopping everyone from entering.

He took a look at the environment at the door, then pushed the door open, took out the sandalwood flame to illuminate, walked in alone, and looked around.

Dong Wenshu really didn't know what this was all about, so he walked up to Li Xianghong again and asked, "May the City Lord, please tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing that he looked sad because his relatives were robbed, Li Xianghong thought for a moment and nodded to the maid beside her, saying, "Tell him about the good things his nephew from his wife's family has done."

"Yes." The maid agreed and immediately told the general cause of the matter.

Shi Chun seemed to be listening to a story, but in fact he was listening to the movements in the house with his ears perked up. Suddenly he noticed a wave of magical power spreading in the house.

Po Yuan inside stared at the floor tiles under his feet and stomped on them. Then he moved away, squatted, turned over a few tiles, put his palms on the ground, easily grabbed a handful of loose soil, rubbed them and threw them away.

Li Xianghong, who was standing at the door watching, frowned slightly, realizing that this person might have seen something.

At this moment, another maid flew into the Dong family's house, walked quickly to Li Xianghong, and reported: "City Lord, Huang Yingying is back. She ran to the South City Gate to ask for help from the city guards and has been taken to the City Lord's Mansion."

Hearing this, Li Xianghong was surprised.

Po Yuan in the room suddenly stood up, walked out quickly, and called out, "Let's go and take a look."

Li Xianghong: "Then here?"

The implication is whether these people should still be detained.

"Let someone watch first." Po Yuan threw down the words and flew away.

Li Xianghong glanced at Dong Wenshu, who was filled with grief and anger after learning the news, with his beard and lips trembling and his fists clenched. She said nothing and flew away.

Most of the people who came stayed here, while a small number left. The people who carried Fan Wuzhe into the house and placed him on the couch also left.

At this time, Dong Wenshu walked to the couch and said in a deep voice: "Azhe, is what they said true?"

Fan Wuzhe closed his eyes, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. He said nothing, but could hear the sound of sobbing softly.

Seeing this, there was no need to ask any more questions. Dong Wenshu could not hide the sadness in his eyes and turned and left.

The young and righteous Dong Liangze also clenched his fists and stared at Fan Wuzhe angrily. Seeing that the other party had gotten his comeuppance, he didn't know what to say. He felt so uncomfortable that he just punched the wall and turned and left.

Shi Chun, who came in later, saw at a glance the turned over floor tiles on the ground, which was exactly the place where Wu Jinliang had escaped underground.

The second young lady Dong Liangyu did not enter the house. She stood outside under the eaves looking at the starry sky. Young Master Ruyu looked thin, but his eyes were confused and he occasionally coughed violently.

It is a reaction after being stimulated.

Dong Wenshu, who came out, felt a pain in his heart when he saw this. He didn't know what sin his family had committed. He found a husband for his eldest daughter, but the husband died halfway. He found a relative for his second daughter, thinking that he would be reliable, but he turned out to be even less reliable.

He faced his daughter in silence, looked up to the sky with a sigh, and strode away.

They couldn't all leave, so the eldest daughter Dong Liangyi found the third daughter Dong Liangying and Shi Chun, and discussed that everyone should take turns to take care of him, and they also had to find medicine to apply to Fan Wuzhe.

Shi Chun lifted the blanket and took a look, then said, "No need to apply medicine for now. The City Lord's Mansion has already applied medicine to him, and it should be considered quite good. You guys can take a rest. It's not convenient for women, so I'll take care of him."

Dong Liangyi responded gently, "Okay, I'll ask Liangze to come and take turns with you."

When the two sisters came out again, they found that the second young lady Dong Liangyu had disappeared. They were about to look for her when they heard a familiar cough coming from the library in front of them. It was pitch black upstairs.

The third child, Dong Liangying, wanted to go and see, but was stopped by the eldest sister. Dong Liangyi shook her head and said, "Leave her alone for a while."

Shi Chun took care of Fan Wuzhe very seriously and attentively. He brought hot water to help wipe him, giving people the feeling of careful care. Dong Liangying saw it when he came to deliver something, and was very pleased and appreciative.

In the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

Huang Yingying was brought in with flesh all over her neck and torn skin on her hands. Her hair was a mess like a bird's nest and her clothes were tattered.

When he saw Li Xianghong and Po Yuan standing side by side at the top, he was extremely flustered.

In fact, he didn't want to come back. He would rather hang out with Wu Jinliang or go on the run than come back. Only a fool would be willing to come back and surrender himself, but it was not up to him. It was useless for him to cry and beg. They just sent him back and then gave him the pretext that he had come back to surrender himself.

When a man was forcibly pushed off a carriage at the city gate, could he say that he had taken the wrong road? If he did not follow the prepared explanation and say that he had returned to surrender, what else could he say?
He fell into the hands of the city guards and could not run away. He could only say what the tall guy told him to do, otherwise the tall guy would reveal the fact that he had killed two of Poyuan's trusted men. What could he do?
