Chapter 102 Two Dragons and Two Elephants! Yang Wanli, Who Dares to Provoke Anyone! Trouble Breaks O

Chapter 103 Two Dragons and Two Elephants! Yang Wanli, whom no one dares to provoke! Trouble in the Imperial Prison!

After leaving Shen Rong's house, Shen Yan went to several pharmacies before he could get all the medicine.

After preparing the herbal medicine, he couldn't wait to start practicing his martial arts.

After completing the cultivation, all the pores on my body opened up, and the scorching blood and qi emitted white smoke in the cold winter.

Shen Yan sat in the bathtub, and the medicinal effects seeped into his body through his pores.

He felt an increase in strength; with the stimulation of the medicine, his blood and energy had increased by more than 30% compared to usual.

After a long while, when the color of the medicinal soup had lightened considerably, he finally got out of the bathtub.

Looking at the remaining medicinal soup in the bathtub, Shen Yan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

"This one bath cost me a thousand taels of silver! It's damn expensive!"

Fortunately, this medicinal soup cannot be brewed every day, otherwise the family's wealth would be exhausted in just a few days.

The next day, Shen Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, opened his eyes.

With a sudden stomp, a deep pit was created in the ground.

"The second level of the *Dragon and Elephant Prajna Sutra* features two dragons and two elephants!"

Shen Yan did not use any true energy or blood energy just now.

To achieve such an effect solely through physical strength is truly terrifying.

This level of destructive power is already comparable to that of a seventh-grade martial artist; this is only the second level.

The physical strength is terrifying.

"No wonder that the Tantric masters of that time were able to sweep through the Central Plains martial arts world with the tenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, and even grandmasters were no match for them."

Shen Yan stepped out of his house and encountered Zheng Xiao, a tenant of Widow Wang's house.

He greeted Shen Yan very warmly, his face crinkling with wrinkles from his smile so deep they could trap a fly.

"Lord Shen, are you going to work in the imperial prison?"

Shen Yan nodded indifferently, then left without paying him any further attention.

Zheng Xiao, however, remained expressionless, still wearing a bright smile, as she watched Shen Yan leave.

He sighed as he watched Shen Yan walk away completely.

"Oh! I regret it so much! Such a great start, and it's turned out like this!"

Shen Yan arrived outside the prison and saw that the prison gates were tightly closed, but many young people were gathered in front of them.

The Imperial Guards, with stern expressions, blocked their way, preventing them from entering the Imperial Prison.

They looked indignant and spoke vehemently.

They were all dressed as scholars, in luxurious clothes, unlike ordinary people.

Shen Yan was somewhat puzzled.

"Are these young noblemen here for a spring outing in the imperial prison?!"

Even when blending in, his long robe didn't stand out from the crowd.

Hearing their discussion, Shen Yan realized that Yang Wanli had arrested many scholars and imprisoned them in the imperial prison the day before.

The scholar believed that his words and actions were not wrong, so why should his classmates be imprisoned?

Shen Yan also learned that only a small number of people were in the Heavenly Prison, while the Ministry of Justice was packed with people.

He thought to himself, "Is this Yang Wanli some kind of honey badger?! How come he dares to mess with everyone?!"

The most troublesome people in the Great Zhou Dynasty were these scholars.

Families that could afford to support a scholar were quite wealthy and not ordinary commoners.

Moreover, being in Bianjing, these scholars all had incredibly powerful backgrounds, yet they were also hotheaded and naive.

With just a little instigation from someone with ulterior motives, the current situation could have been created.

Fortunately, no one recognized him. It wasn't until Shen Yan walked in front of the Imperial Guards that someone noticed something was wrong.

He shouted, "He's from the Heavenly Prison! Seize him!"

Hearing the sounds behind him, Shen Yan quickly entered the prison.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"These people are really idle; they don't do anything productive all day long."

Upon entering the prison, only Ma Danian was among the guards present.

Lü Youcai and Chen Xiaoshuan didn't have to stay on night duty last night, so it seems they won't be able to get in today.

Shen Yan only hoped that Yang Wanli could resolve the issue quickly and get these scholars to disperse as soon as possible.

You can't hit them, and you can't out-argue them either.

Shen Yan didn't even feel like watching the show from the watchtower.

He summoned Sun Fugui, wanting to ask what exactly had happened that had caused such a commotion.

"Brother Shen, you were looking for me?"

"What's going on with those people at the door?"

Sun Fugui glanced around and, seeing that no one was around, whispered, "Brother Shen, my brother says this matter is not simple. Those scholars who were arrested were the ones who were singing praises of the Crown Prince's benevolence in the streets and teahouses a few days ago."

Shen Yan's gaze sharpened slightly; it turned out he was on a mission for the emperor.

"Does the grandfather dislike his grandson? But this crown prince is really something else, wanting to be emperor so soon after becoming crown prince."

Even Shen Yan could tell that someone was behind the scholar spreading these things.

Who could command the students in the academy? Only the officials of the Qingliu faction and the crown prince.

With just a little hint, these students would become incredibly enthusiastic and help them with this task.

For the country and the people, for the sake of the nation and its people, the louder the slogans are shouted, the more excited they become.

Shen Yan said helplessly, "Tell the brothers that they'll have to work hard during this period. After these few days, the brothers on duty will get an extra 20% of the profits."

Upon hearing this, Sun Fugui was delighted and left the cell.

Fortunately, the prison had plenty of food, so being trapped for a few days wouldn't be a problem.

The sun was high in the sky; it was already noon.

The people outside the prison did not disperse; instead, their numbers grew larger.

Shen Yan could already hear the excited voices of the imprisoned scholars in the jail.

"You lackeys of Yang, aiding and abetting evil, now that you've realized your mistake and let us out, I'll put in a good word for you before His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You bunch of lowly officials, if I ever become an official, I will definitely chop you all up!"

'

Of course, there were also many people who remained silent and quietly stayed in the prison to watch the spectacle.

Shen Yan's face darkened upon hearing these words.

They arrived at the cell of the man who was shouting the loudest.

All eyes were on this side, eager to see what Shen Yan would do.

Shen Yan said calmly, "Wasn't it you who said that when you become an official, you'd chop us all up?!"

Although his words were calm, Zhou Xingyuan in the cell felt a chill run down his spine.

Forcing himself to speak, he said, "So what if I said it?"

Shen Yan said indifferently, "Nothing much? I'm just teaching you some manners."

"Guards, take him to the torture chamber. I want to see if his bones are tough or his mouth is tough."

The man turned pale, never expecting Shen Yan to torture him.

He shouted loudly, "Punishment does not apply to officials! I hold a title and honor; you cannot torture me!"

The surrounding scholars also began to chime in, "That's right! He has official rank and title. If you dare to use torture, you're disregarding the laws of the dynasty. Be careful you don't lose your official position!"

"That's right. We're here to watch today. If you use torture, we'll make you pay after you get out of prison."

Shen Yan did not reply.

He said to the jailer beside him, "Make a note of the ones who are shouting the loudest. Take them to the torture chamber one by one later."

Shen Yan sneered inwardly, "If there are no signs of torture, who would dare say that he has been tortured?"

Seeing Shen Yan's resolute attitude, Zhou Xingyuan had a bad feeling.

After a few cups of tea.

Zhou Xingyuan was carried to the cell, his clothes soaked with sweat, but there was not a single mark on his body.

None of the people Shen Yan pointed out earlier were able to escape.

After everything was rectified, the scholars looked at Shen Yan with fear in their eyes.

Someone muttered something under their breath.

"Shen Yan, the Demon of Hell, truly lives up to his reputation!"

Just then, Shen Yan saw the jailer rush in to report.
