The streets were once again in chaos, and parents who had lost their children gathered together, shouting at each other.
In addition, there were other voices in the crowd.
"So all this is their own directing and acting!"
"It must be, that's why I arrested all those people. I guess they were convinced."
"I directed and acted in the kidnapping of children. I knew I couldn't pretend anymore, so I just brought out a random child. They really are!"
"This is just to divert everyone's attention so that we can attack the capital, right?"
"Don't be fooled by them, their next step may be to go to war!"
"..."
Most of the people talking were men. The men were old and young. They were distributed around the crowd. They didn't look like they were in a group, but the way they sang along clearly showed that there was something fishy.
But the common people couldn't tell, and most of them were led astray, pointing at Liu Shengsheng and the others.
Du Baili clenched his fists in anger, "Princess gave her life in exchange for a child. If you're not grateful, how can you still talk nonsense here?"
Perhaps out of fear of being arrested, the men in the crowd quickly shut their mouths.
Instead, a group of ladies cursed and cursed.
"Stop talking nonsense. What does it mean to have troops approaching the city? Have you gone up to the city wall and looked at it?"
"That is to say, the city wall is not accessible to ordinary people. No one here has ever gone up to see it. Why are you talking nonsense?"
"If we want to go to war, how can we stay in the capital?"
"I think the prince is right. There are people in this crowd who are confusing right and wrong and talking nonsense. Maybe the murderer who kidnapped the children is in the crowd. Don't be deceived!"
The leader, Mrs. Zhang, put her hands on her hips and said in a loud voice: "Yes, everyone, please don't be deceived. Maybe the person who kidnapped your child is in this crowd. Don't let your attention be diverted now. The key is to find him." Children, what does it have to do with us people whether we fight or not?"
"..."
The voices of people talking kept coming and going, and the huge street was crowded with people, and with more people, there was naturally something to talk about.
There was chaos all around. In the chaos, Liu Shengsheng gently took Nan Muze's hand, whispered into his ear: "There is no one there at all."
Nan Muze narrowed his eyes but did not speak.
Yichen stood there distractedly, looking at the messy scene in front of him, holding back a surge of anger in his heart.
"No wonder even the emperor said that this incident was a big deal. Although many people were involved in the case of the missing child, it didn't involve the whole city, right? It's already midnight, and these people are still gathered here. It's clear There is something fishy behind it!"
No, he must find a way to find out the person behind it.
If that doesn't work, we have to find out where those children are now...
Suddenly remembering something, Yichen said again: "By the way, girl, didn't you catch the man in the wheelchair before? Could it be that he hired someone to do this thing?"
Liu Shengsheng nodded slightly, "It's possible."
"But what can he do if he's in a wheelchair? Besides, wasn't his people wiped out by His Highness Prince Cang that day? Could it be that there are still remnants of gangs behind him..."
Having said this, Yichen shook his head again, "No, as long as people have money these days, what kind of master can't be bribed? He doesn't need to have any remnants, as long as he has money..."
Liu Shengsheng narrowed her eyes, "We cannot let go of any possibility. This matter must be investigated carefully!"
In the front, Du Baili led the soldiers to evacuate the crowd, while also catching the common people who were gossiping. qδ.net
Anyone who tries to slander Liu Shengsheng will be arrested quickly.
But there were too many people gossiping, and it didn't take long for the crowd to make a commotion.
"What do you mean? You don't want to resist foreign enemies, but you want to let the old people
You must shut up forcibly. Even if you are a prince, you cannot do this! "
"That's it! The lives of ordinary people are also lives. Now there is a war. You don't want to drive people out or stop the war. You are still here to protect people from other countries. You are going to subjugate your country!"
"The most important thing right now, isn't it to find the children? To stop the war? Why do you keep arresting us people?"
"No matter what, we ordinary people are innocent, right?"
"..."
Such exciting words soon aroused the approval of many people. Many people were united, thinking that they were on the side of justice, and mustered up the courage to fight against the powerful.
Of course, there were also some timid ones who hid not far away and watched the excitement.
Everything as far as the eye can see is chaos...
At this moment, on a rooftop far away from the street, a figure had been standing expressionless for a long time.
Until a man in black appeared behind him, "Master, Mr. Kong has been brought here."
Jing Chun squinted his eyes, glanced at the chaotic streets in the distance, jumped off the roof in a flash, and stood in the small courtyard below the roof.
There are lanterns hanging around the yard, which also illuminate the yard very brightly.
In the middle of the yard, Kong Zhen was sitting in a wheelchair with a weak look on his face, looking at Jing Chun intently.
"My plan is almost successful, why do you have to stop me?"
Jing Chun clenched his fists, "What plan? A plan to force them to fight? Do you think you can trigger a war between the two countries by just grabbing a few children? Do you really think Nan Muze is a fool?"
Kong Zhen sneered, "I know you don't want to admit it, but my plan is almost successful."
"You're almost killing yourself!"
Jing Chun said with hatred, "I used to respect you so much, and you were so great in my heart, but now, if you look at the things you do, not a single thing has been carefully thought through. Even if you use children to lure them out, so what? Can you really make them risk the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers for a few children? They are not fools, and you are not a fool either! How can you be so stupid..."
"Jing Chun! That's enough!"
Kong Zhen was furious.
Jing Chun took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Where did you find someone to help you? I thought there was no one around you anymore..."
"It is true that there is no one around me, but can't I buy it with money?"
Kong Zhen answered his doubts and said: "As long as the money is enough, everyone will be willing to do things for me."
Seeing Jing Chun's helpless expression, Kong Zhen sighed helplessly.
"Maybe in your opinion, my current method is really stupid, but what else can I do? You also said that there is no one around me, and I am just here to survive."
"But I came all the way here, so I can't come back empty-handed, right? Jing Chun, I know you too well. I know that you have softened your heart now, and even the thought of revenge is much smaller in your heart. I have no way to persuade you, and I have no way to force you. I can only teach you a lesson in the end."
