15. The night before(1/2)
Yan Jun stood up immediately when he heard the reply from Yan Long's mouth, his body shaking violently like a sieve due to excitement and anger.
"Yanlong! Do you know what you did!? That's your biological father!"
"He is my biological father, but he is also your biological father!"
Yanlong also stood up, with sad eyes and a ferocious expression:
"Between you and me, he finally chose you instead of me who has been working hard for so many years!"
"Why can't I understand what you are talking about? What does it mean to choose me?"
Yan Jun was confused and shouted in a low voice, not understanding what Yan Long's sudden arrival meant.
"You are still pretending to be stupid now, Yan Jun, you are very scheming!"
Yanlong's expression became more ferocious and fierce, and he slapped a piece of paper on the table with a "bang" sound. The force was so strong that it almost shattered the table.
"Open your eyes and take a good look, what is this!?"
Yan Jun looked in the direction of Yanlong's finger, his pupils shrank, and there were two big words printed on the title of the document - Will!
"What's this……"
Yan Jun's voice was trembling, and his hand holding the document began to become unsteady.
Yanlong's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Now that things have come to this, are you still going to keep me in the dark with the old man!?"
"This is the will that the old man made three years ago! It states that if something unexpected happens in the future, the second son Yan Jun will inherit the position of city lord."
Yanlong became more and more excited, and finally grabbed Yanjun's collar, as if he wanted to vent all his emotions and dissatisfaction over the years.
"Yan Jun! Tell me why the name that appears in the old man's will is yours and not mine? Tell me why!?"
"I have protected you since you were little, let you do everything, and done everything a good big brother should do. When you were young, you were flying kites in the courtyard while I was studying in the study, and you were fishing and catching shrimps by the river, above my head.
If you are scolded by the teacher while holding the teacher's ruler, the effort you put in is more than twice as much as yours!"
"Besides, my father, after I became an adult and worked beside him for so many years, it was me who took care of the relationships in the city when he was away! Everyone has agreed that I am the next city lord. This is my only motivation and comfort.
.”
Yanlong had a hard look on his face and threw Yanjun against the wall.
"But do you know? After you asked me to investigate the matter of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group three years ago, the old man came back and called me, scolded me, and then told me not to think about the city lord anymore.
I’ll calm down for a while.”
"But how can I be calm? I have worked so hard since I was a child. If others know that I am not the successor to the city lord, how can I, Yanlong, have the dignity to be in Yanzhou City!"
Yan Jun sat on the ground, holding on to the wall. It was obvious that he had been thrown badly. He coughed lightly and asked in a cold voice:
"So you poisoned your father?"
"That's right"
Yanlong sneered and said: "If I hadn't accidentally discovered this will, I would still be kept in the dark by you, dreaming of becoming the city lord! But it's okay, I have long been dissatisfied with him,
If I hadn’t discovered this will, I still wouldn’t have been able to make up my mind…”
"Yanlong! You bastard!"
Before Yanlong could finish his words, Yanjun suddenly jumped up on the ground, punched Yanlong in the face, and roared:
"It's in vain that I have always regarded you as a role model! As a son of a human being, not only should you be grateful and filial to your parents, you should also abide by your heart and never forget your roots! You scumbag, I feel ashamed to be my brother! You are not worthy of being my father's son!
"
Yan Jun's expression was stern, his eyes were shining with cold light, and his words were sparkling.
"Although I don't know why my father asked me to succeed him, I now know the reason why he didn't choose you!"
"Three years
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
In the case of the Wild Wolf Group before, you kept saying you were helping people solve their problems, but in fact, in order to preserve your own power, you randomly found a scapegoat to fool me!"
"Yanlong, since when did you only focus on yourself and power?"
"Because this is what my father gave me since I was a child, and it is the entire meaning of my life so far!"
Yanlong's words were unclear, and his swollen face looked crazy. He stared at Yanjun's face with a cold smile on his lips.
"What's the point of talking about this now? Taishen Temple has helped me ascend to the position of city lord. The old man's will is like a piece of waste paper. Maybe this is the last time we two brothers talk..."
Yan Jun's heart skipped a beat, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?"
"Did you know? The poison in my father's mouth is called mist, and it enters the human body through burning and air as a medium..."
Yan Jun's expression changed drastically. He suddenly felt that his legs were a little weak, and his eyes drifted to the only burning thing in the room - the incense burner that Yan Long brought!
Yanlong was also looking at the incense burner and muttering to himself:
"That's how I placed the incense burner in my father's room that day..."
"You bastard!"
Yan Jun's face turned red. He raised his fists and took two steps before he felt dizzy. His body went limp and fell heavily at Yan Long's feet.
Yanlong knelt down and looked down at Yanjun, with a sneer on his lips.
"Ye Xiaoxiao and the others did find the antidote, but unfortunately I stopped them. Qin Lan was also caught. You have no chance."
"Yanlong..."
Yan Jun bit Yan Long's name in his mouth, as if he wanted to bite him into pieces.
If I had discovered his evil intentions earlier, maybe my father would not have suffered this disaster!
With endless reluctance and regret in his heart, Yan Jun stretched out a hand with difficulty, but before he could touch Yan Long, his body could no longer support him and he fainted on the ground.
"Goodbye...Yan Jun..."
Yanlong stood up and brushed the dust off his body, as if sweeping something out of his body. When he walked out of the door again, a relaxed and proud smile appeared on his face.
From now on, there is only the lord of Yanzhou City in this world, and there is no longer Yanlong!
The next day, a piece of news was released from Yan Mansion:
The second son, Yanjun, poisoned and assassinated the old city lord and has been punished by the eldest son, Yanlong. From now on, Yanlong will succeed the lord of Yanzhou City and the succession ceremony will be held tomorrow. In addition, the criminal Qin Lan has been confirmed to have colluded with Yanjun to assassinate the old city lord and will be executed tomorrow!
As soon as the news came out, the whole city was shocked. For a time, the eyes of all the powerful people in the city focused on Yan Mansion, and there was an undercurrent.
Before noon, there was already a lot of traffic and people in front of the Yan Mansion. Everyone wanted to look familiar in front of the new city lord.
There are also people who wonder about the old city lord's physical condition, but they are afraid of touching someone's nerves, so they have to keep it in their hearts and remain silent.
"Wang Ye, the leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, has prepared a thousand taels of gold to congratulate the new city lord on his succession!"
Wang Ye and his wild wolf mercenary team had been guarding the gate of Yan's mansion early in the morning, and they actually seemed to be maintaining law and order.
When it comes to who is the happiest person to succeed Yanlong, Wang Ye is definitely one of them. While he is still in his prime, the Wild Wolf Group has a certain deterrent effect, and Wang Wu has a close friendship with Yanlong. In this way, even if Wang Wu is unable to practice in the future
Ordinary people can barely fill their stomachs in Yanzhou City.
"Sir, the new city lord has succeeded, why don't you go and have a look?"
In the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Lin watched tea for her husband and asked softly from the side.
Commander Lin frowned and stared at the tea leaves in the bowl in a daze.
He was a little confused. For the first time in these years, the commander of the city defense army didn't know where he was going.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The second young master has been killed. Even if he wants to eliminate the murder, he can still do it without any name.
Thinking of the kindness of the old city lord, he bowed to Yanlong and felt guilty.
Judging from the current situation, if he still wants to secure his position as leader, it will be indispensable for him to deal with Yanlong in the future.
Looking at his wife serving beside him and the children playing in the courtyard, even if he has the backbone, do he still want to drink the northwest wind with his wife and children?
Hesitating, hesitating, Commander Lin sighed secretly
"Come here, prepare your horses and go to Yan Mansion!"
Qin Lan will be executed tomorrow!?
Ye Xiaoxiao trembled when she heard the news outside at the inn, and was confused for a moment.
The old city lord's condition has developed in a good direction. As long as there is another chance to treat the old city lord today, he will wake up tomorrow night at the latest.
But Qin Lan couldn't wait any longer, and she, Ye Xiaoxiao, didn't dare to gamble!
Is the only option left is to go to the tribunal?
Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered and her expression became determined.
Qin Lan, I will not wait for you where you are. Just like you risked your life to buy time for me, I will also advance and retreat with you!
At the same time, in the cell
Qin Lan was whipped for a long time by the Wild Wolf Group again. This time it was even worse than last time. There was no intact skin left on his body.
