As the city lord left with a smile on his face, Du Tingyun's face turned extremely ugly.
Liu Shengsheng turned her head with interest and asked in a low voice: "Brother still thinks that I have no enmity with this city lord, so he won't do anything to me?"
Du Tingyun had nothing to say, and there was a hint of shame in his eyes.
Bai Cang breathed out, wanting to say something but not quite daring to say it.
Liu Shengsheng said again: "Now that I know that my people were injured by the city lord, and that the two innocent villagers were also killed by the city lord, do you have any countermeasures?"
Du Tingyun opened his mouth.
Before she could say anything, Liu Shengsheng said: "Brother, don't you still want to persuade me to leave as soon as possible? A gentleman breaks the law and the common people are guilty, let alone the lord of a city. Not to mention that he hurt my people, let's say he has no chance. You bribed a killer to kill two civilians without any reason. That needs to be dealt with seriously, right? Does it mean that someone with power can kill innocent people indiscriminately? Then such a person doesn't deserve power, right?"
Du Tingyun narrowed his eyes, "You are right, but after all, he is the city lord, so he should not hurt civilians for no reason, maybe..."
"Perhaps there is a misunderstanding? I can probably guess what the elder brother wants to say, but have you ever considered how many treacherous words he just said?"
Liu Shengsheng's words were like a warning, and Du Tingyun instantly became serious, "Yes, it is indeed very rebellious."
"Although you all call me princess, I know that you don't really recognize me as a princess in your hearts. Therefore, if you let me, a princess who has just returned to the country, handle this kind of thing, it will inevitably make you angry."
Speaking of this, Liu Shengsheng said with a smile: "Brother keeps saying that he treats me as his biological sister. In this case, I believe that eldest brother will definitely give me justice, right?"
Du Tingyun slowly clenched his fists, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, someone shouted from below the roof.
"There's an assassin!"
"An assassin climbed on the roof again!"
"..."
Several people were startled at the same time. They looked down and saw several men with weapons rushing towards them under the eaves.
As soon as the city lord who had not gone far heard the noise, he immediately turned around.
"What assassin?"
The bearded man hurried over, "Could it be that man's accomplice, right? Everyone has been killed, how could their accomplice find them here?"
The faces of the people on the roof were all covered, so no one recognized the people below. Many people climbed onto the roof with weapons.
The city lord gritted his teeth, "Who the hell are they? They dare to break into my city lord's mansion mysteriously. This is a capital crime! Catch them quickly!"
"yes!"
As more and more soldiers poured in from outside, within a short while, the roof where they were was surrounded by people.
Liu Shengsheng calmly sat on the roof and stared at Du Tingyun quietly, as if wanting to see what he would do.
Liu Shengsheng didn't move, and Nan Muze also didn't move. He just slowly stood up, obviously protecting Liu Shengsheng.
Bai Cang's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "These people are so brave, they dare to surround His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Du Tingyun took a breath and stood up slowly. Just as he was about to ask everyone to retreat, the city lord said angrily: "You have been surrounded by my city lord's people. If you don't want to die, give them all to me." I'll jump down, otherwise..."
"How else?"
Du Tingyun pulled off the veil on his face indifferently, and then with a light skill, he jumped off the roof and stood straight in front of the city lord!
The city lord was a little proud at first, but after seeing his face clearly, the city lord suddenly knelt on the ground with weak legs!
The bearded man next to him froze, took a big step back on the spot, and then sat tremblingly on the ground...
After all, he was the Crown Prince of Li Kingdom, and he had passed through the city in high profile not long ago. Almost everyone present knew Du Tingyun, and they recognized him instantly.
Only
I saw countless people throwing away the weapons in their hands, and then kneeling on the ground one by one.
"See His Majesty the Crown Prince!"
"..."
The city lord climbed up tremblingly, then knelt down with a pale face, "I wonder what the important matter is for His Highness the Crown Prince to come here?"
The bearded man also knelt down quickly, sweat dripping down his face.
The prince was wearing black clothes at the moment, and there were so many people in black following him. They looked mysterious, and they might be following him.
If this is really the case, did the prince see everything that he had just silenced those killers?
So the prince is here for him?
The bearded man knocked his head to the ground nervously and did not dare to raise his head for a long time.
Du Tingyun was indeed very angry, so she asked him sullenly, "Why do you want to arrest innocent people? Why do you want to bribe killers to hunt down innocent people? You also deliberately target the princess who has just returned to the country. What are your intentions?"
After asking three questions in a row, the city lord broke into a cold sweat.
He stammered: "Your Highness, there is a misunderstanding. This is a huge misunderstanding. I am just a small city lord. How dare I target the noble Princess? This is simply a huge slander!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Du Tingyun's thigh, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very aware of everything. Don't misunderstand us. There is definitely something fishy about this matter..."
Du Tingyun kicked him to the side.
"Misunderstanding? I was standing on the roof just now. I heard everything you said!"
Hearing this, the city lord's face turned pale, "This, this..."
"Also, why do you want to arrest innocent people?"
The city lord's eyes were red, and he quickly explained: "It's nothing! At most, I only caught a few troublemakers. Those people led a large group of people to parade in the streets all day long, shouting and talking nonsense, and the noisy people were miserable! "
"It was because I couldn't drive them away again and again, so I took them back to my house. I originally wanted to teach them a lesson and let them go, but unexpectedly a person suddenly appeared and kidnapped him... "
"I don't even know if that person was from Her Highness the Princess. Later we caught that person, or if he took the initiative to admit that he was from Her Highness the Princess, and what else he said. If we dared to touch him, he would go back and tell Her Highness the Princess, and even said He wants to go back and slander us for killing innocent people..."
"It was because I was threatened by him that I sent assassins to assassinate him in a fit of enthusiasm. But all this was for self-protection. I was really too afraid that he would slander me and others everywhere. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will learn from this! "
This was the only thing he could think of in a short period of time to exonerate himself...
At this moment, this is all he can say!
