Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1078: Killing with Praise

Yun Susu was initially confused, but noticed the expression of the surrounding people, and after carefully savoring Yun Mengyao's words, she suddenly understood.

To kill with praise.

Yun Mengyao was killing Li Shuangcheng with praise.

Yun Mengyao mentioned that they killed three kings of the Tianyue Empire, saving the woman and little girl just now, letting the people know of their accomplishments and kindness. Thus forming a sharp contrast to Li Shuangcheng's arrogance and tyranny.

They strive to kill the enemy and protect the people, while Li Shuangcheng protects these scoundrels. The people naturally have a scale in their hearts, knowing who is good and who is bad.

She wants to kill these scoundrels, yet Li Shuangcheng is protecting them, which everyone sees with their own eyes, so the people will trust her more.

As for Li Shuangcheng, in the hearts of the people, he is probably already seen as the villain who indulges these scoundrels.

Yun Mengyao's move is indeed fierce, killing people by first attacking the heart.

With her understanding of Yun Mengyao, this method was definitely not thought up by her. Yun Susu instinctively glanced at Qin Yi, this idea must have come from Qin Yi.

Yun Mengyao looked at the surrounding people and said, "The Princess apologizes to everyone, she wants to protect you, but she is also just a woman, this Bolan City is far from the Imperial City, the sky is high and the Emperor is far, she is powerless to do anything. Everyone, be careful when going out in the future, don't get in the way of these young masters. Otherwise...

If these young masters trample you to death with their horses, not only will they not compensate you, but City Lord will also make you compensate the young masters for mental distress."

"Shut up." Li Shuangcheng shouted angrily.

He listened more and more unpleasantly, and finally, his old face turned iron blue; these words from the woman likely turned his reputation among the people foul beyond recognition.

Yun Mengyao looked at Li Shuangcheng, face full of fear, "General Li, I'm just telling the people to be careful when going out in the future, as their lives are at stake. This is the only thing I can do. If my words are unpleasant, I ask General Li to be generous."

Li Shuangcheng's eyes were gloomy, and his heart was burning with anger.

Yun Mengyao looked at the few scoundrels beside her, "You haven't thanked General Li for saving your lives. If not for him, you'd have been killed by the Princess."

"Thank you, General Li."

These few scoundrels didn't understand at all, they just felt that Li Shuangcheng saved them, and immediately apologized instinctively.

However, Li Shuangcheng's old face was gloomy, almost dripping water. These fools, thanking him in front of the people, doesn't it confirm that he's the protector of these scoundrels?

"Are you Yun Mengyao?" Li Shuangcheng's eyes were shadowy.

Yun Mengyao slightly nodded.

A hint of killing intent flashed in Li Shuangcheng's eyes, he was about to speak, but the elder next to him whispered, "General, this woman is glib and cunning. If you act against her here, it will only confirm your bad reputation. Now is not the right time to act, please bring them to the City Lord's Mansion. We can't touch the Princess, but whether to kill or hang this woman is up to you."

Li Shuangcheng listened and thought it made sense, forcibly restraining his anger, but the killing intent in his eyes was impossible to hide.

The elder looked at Yun Mengyao and smiled, "Miss Yun is truly glib and eloquent. General Li did not protect these people, it's because their families...

"Who are you?" Yun Mengyao interrupted the elder's speech.

The elder's mouth twitched, he was planning to clear Li Shuangcheng's name, but Yun Mengyao interrupted him, giving him no chance.

"I am the butler of the War General Mansion, Zhang Cheng."

"Did you just say General Li never intended to protect these people?"

"Yes."

Yun Mengyao bowed to Li Shuangcheng, "It seems I misunderstood General Li. Since there's no intention to protect them, when the Princess wanted to kill these scoundrels earlier, General Li was always blocking, apparently not blocking the Princess from killing them, but intending to act himself.

General Li is wise, this is your Bolan City, your family matter. It's most appropriate for you to execute these people, as per the law."

Li Shuangcheng's old face turned iron blue, his eyes almost spewed fire, when did he say he would kill these people? He instinctively glared at Zhang Cheng beside him; this fool was caught in a trap and pushed him into a dilemma.

Even Zhang Cheng's face looked as ugly as if his parents had died.

Yun Mengyao shouted, "Please, General Li, execute these people according to the law, give the people an explanation."

Li Shuangcheng's steel teeth were about to shatter, these people were the offspring of the city's dignitaries, he had business dealings with them, and these scoundrels were also playmates of Li Feng. If he killed them, it would be a big problem, not to mention the forces behind these families were not small, how could he explain?

Besides, he already bears a bad reputation, and killing these people now would mean a complete loss.

But if he doesn't kill them, everyone is watching him.

Actually, to him, the people are just ignorant peasants, their thoughts aren't important. But if his bad reputation spreads, it will affect his career path.

Yun Mengyao looked at the people and incited, "Everyone thank General Li for seeking justice for the people."

"Thank you General Li, thank you General Li..."

The people all knelt down, shouting loudly.

Li Shuangcheng's fists clenched to a cracking sound, really wanting to crush Yun Mengyao to death.

Zhang Cheng saw the situation was not right and approached Li Shuangcheng to whisper, "General, we can first imprison these people, as an explanation to these peasants. As for later, whether to kill or release, it's up to you."

Li Shuangcheng's eyes lit up, this indeed was a good plan.

"Come, arrest these scoundrels for me..."

"General Li is wise, General Li is mighty..." Yun Mengyao suddenly shouted, interrupting Li Shuangcheng's words, she looked at the soldiers and called out, "Didn't you hear General Li's words? Execute these scoundrels on the spot."

The soldiers reacted instinctively, pointing their silver spears at the scoundrels.

Li Shuangcheng's face changed dramatically, hating Yun Mengyao to the extreme, this woman is truly treacherous, she interrupted his speech, changing his intention.

He was about to speak to stop her, but Yun Mengyao shouted again, "You scoundrels, hunting in the street, harming people with your horses, despicable to the extreme. General Li's wise decision will execute you on the spot, enforcing the law."

While Yun Mengyao shouted, her body was already moving, swiftly as lightning to the front of a soldier, drawing his waist sword, and with one strike, several bursts of Sword Qi shot out.

"Splat, splat..."

Almost simultaneously, heads rolled, blood gushing like a spring.

Yun Mengyao casually tossed the longsword, which flew back accurately into the sword sheath at the soldier's waist, then she bowed to Li Shuangcheng, "These scoundrels were truly vile, I couldn't restrain myself for a moment, I executed them on behalf of General Li, I ask General Li's forgiveness."

Li Shuangcheng was completely stunned, Yun Mengyao's movements were too fast, he had no chance to stop her, his mouth kept twitching like having a seizure.

Zhang Cheng was also dumbfounded, not expecting things to evolve to this point. Yun Mengyao actually killed these people cleanly and swiftly with a sword under the guise of Li Shuangcheng's orders.
