Du Tingyun narrowed his eyes and said, "You are disrespectful to the princess of the current dynasty and despise the royal family. You should be executed."
As soon as these words came out, the city lord let out another burst of ghostly cries and howls, and then kowtowed to the ground.
But before Liu Shengsheng could speak, the people watching couldn't bear it any longer. Several people picked up cabbage and threw it at them.
"Behead, must be beheaded!"
"This wolf-hearted thing, let's call him City Lord. He doesn't serve the country and the people well, but uses his status to kill innocent people indiscriminately. It's really abominable!"
"Yes! It must be his viciousness that triggered the divine punishment, so a flash flood broke out nearby!"
"So this flash flood must have been caused by the city lord, and he must be killed!"
"Behead the city lord! The city lord must be killed!"
"Kill him and give justice to the innocent people who died tragically!"
"Yes! Kill him! Kill him!"
"..."
People shouted loudly, and while shouting, many people threw eggs at the city lord!
After a while, the city lord was covered in rubbish. He knelt on the ground and kept knocking his head, and the skin on his forehead was bruised.
But how could the people listen to his words?
After all, his arrogant words just now have already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
People recognized his face and smashed the trash angrily.
As more and more people gathered around, Du Tingyun became more and more embarrassed.
"After all, he is the lord of a city, and he has many trivial matters on his hands. If he is suddenly executed, who will handle everything when he returns to the city?"
Just as Liu Shengsheng was about to speak, Nan Muze said coldly: "You expect a murderer to deal with a city? Why don't you just say that you want to give him time to escape."
As soon as these words came out, the people responded one after another.
"Yes! If we don't kill him now, he will run away!"
"Kill him quickly, look at how many innocent people he has killed!"
"I heard that he had more than a dozen concubines. Many of those concubines were stolen. It's very scary!"
"Yes, Your Highness, you must kill this terrible man! If he doesn't die, all the people in our city will suffer..."
"Please, Your Majesty the Prince, kill this vicious man and give him justice!"
"..."
The common people shouted excitedly with each other's words.
The corners of Liu Shengsheng's lips raised slightly, as expected of a common people who had a history of rebellion, and their resistance was really impressive.
Looking at Du Tingyun who was in a very difficult situation, Liu Shengsheng sighed, "Don't embarrass my elder brother. After all, the city lord was ordered by the Sixth Princess to do such a thing. Maybe the person the city lord really wants to deal with is me. That's all, the elder brother is speaking for the city lord now, and he also wants to speak for the sixth princess. Please understand."
As soon as these words came out, they caused public outrage again.
"Your Highness, a gentleman is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. He is not worthy of being the lord of this city!"
"We, the whole city, hope to change the city lord. You can't forgive him just because he obeyed the orders of the Sixth Princess!"
"That's right, don't the lives of our people count as lives? Just let him kill people indiscriminately?"
"When His Highness the Crown Prince leaves, those of us gathered here today will definitely be retaliated by the city lord. If so, we can only go to the capital together to ask for help!"
"Going to the capital? I'm afraid I'll be killed by the Sixth Princess's men before we even get there!"
"I always thought that the real princess imprisoned the sixth princess, which was particularly hateful. Now it seems that the really hateful person is the sixth princess."
"I have taken over someone else's identity and enjoyed so many years of blessings. Now I want to ruin someone else's reputation. Next, I will probably want to kill someone else. A real princess has a really hard life..."
"So His Highness the Crown Prince is still facing that fake princess?"
"The real princess is so pitiful..."
"..."
Because there were so many people watching, the people who spoke were also talking non-stop.
Du Tingyun's face turned green with anger. He knew very well what Liu Shengsheng meant. Read the book
So after taking a deep breath, he finally said: "Come here, the city lord has killed countless people and has committed serious crimes. Now he will be thrown into prison by this prince!"
"yes!"
As the words fell, the city lord who was still howling like ghosts and wolves was finally dragged down.
But the people were still talking non-stop, almost all saying that they wanted to execute the city lord.
The corpses lying on the street were so shocking.
But with countless people gathered together, Du Tingyun had no choice.
After all, if the number of people is small, you can still find someone to drive them away.
But with so many people, even if they were driven away, the whole city would be outraged...
He glanced at Liu Shengsheng meaningfully, feeling truly shocked.
I really don’t know how Liu Shengsheng did it.
She actually aroused the anger of the whole city in such a short period of time, and even made the whole city speak for her...
The same goes for the city lord. How could he reveal all the evidence of his crime so easily?
Obviously at the beginning, he was still denying it like crazy, wasn't he?
Du Tingyun's heart was full of doubts, but the people watching continued to talk non-stop.
The more he listened, the more annoyed he became, "Everyone, shut up, Prince! They have been taken into custody, haven't you finished the trouble yet?"
The street was quiet for a second or two.
But after a second or two, the people started chattering again.
It seems that he is not taken seriously by the prince at all...
"Just lock him up, does that mean he won't be killed?"
"He is the evil person who caused the flash flood. He must die!"
"That is, if he does not die and continues to cause divine punishment, we, the common people, will still suffer!"
"Is it possible that the Sixth Princess is responsible for this divine punishment? It's really true. I have enjoyed the blessings of others for so many years, and now I still do this kind of thing. How disgusting!"
"I have never seen such a hypocritical person as the Sixth Princess. It's a shame that we used to say that she is beautiful and has a kind heart..."
"This true princess is the one who is truly beautiful and kind-hearted. If it weren't for her, how could we seek justice for so many innocent souls who died tragically?"
"Indeed, during this flash flood, it was the real princess who was nearby that saved hundreds of lives."
"Really? So powerful?"
"That's what the villagers said, and the real princess is so good at medicine that she treats everyone's illnesses. She is like the reincarnation of a god!"
"Is there any way to execute that city lord? If he doesn't die, we will be finished as soon as he comes out..."
"Isn't the prince here? I don't believe that all the people in the city are fighting together, and we can't let the prince kill that vicious city lord!"
"That's right, I'm going to call all the folks in the city right now. Everyone should stop sleeping. We must give justice to everyone who died tragically!"
"The key point is to prevent natural disasters!"
"The best way to prevent divine punishment is to kill the city lord, who caused the divine punishment..."
"..."
The common people kept talking to each other. Even Du Tingyun sent people to suppress it later, but it had no effect at all.
After all, the entire street was now densely packed with ordinary people, and Du Tingyun brought too few people, so it was impossible to suppress these angry crowds.
The crowd expressed their anger not only for the compatriots who had suffered the floods, but also for the innocent people who died tragically!
And as they talked louder and louder, more and more people joined in. It seemed that if the city lord was not killed in front of them, these things would not end!
Du Tingyun clenched his fists. Are these people crazy?
He actually didn't even pay attention to him as the prince...
At this moment, Liu Shengsheng suddenly raised his hand.
"Folks, please be quiet!"
