Star City is very large, housing millions of people.
Xingji City is also very small. Not long after Jinlin Wei just surrounded Prince Qi's Mansion, the usually quiet streets around it were already crowded with people with different expressions.
"Brothers, why is there such a mess everywhere? What happened?"
"I don't know. I just arrived and I'm still out of breath."
"Hey, what else can happen? Look, so many Jinlin guards have been dispatched, it's clear that King Qi has committed something big."
"Then...does anyone know what King Qi committed?"
"this……"
The people around looked at each other and looked at each other, but no one could answer.
squeak~
At this moment, the heavy main door of Prince Qi's Mansion slowly opened.
Chen Xiuzhu changed into the prince's uniform when he went to court, led a dense crowd of staff and guards, and walked out with murderous intent.
He held his head high and glanced at the countless spectators outside, his expression even colder.
"Du Ziming," Chen Xiuzhu stared at the commander of the Jinlin Guards, "Have you eaten the gall of a leopard?"
"Do you know who I am? Do you know where this place is? You led people to surround my palace for no reason. You are the longevity king. Do you think you have a long life?"
"Tell me," he roared like thunder: "Who asked you to come?"
clank.
The guards of Prince Qi's Mansion drew their weapons and took a few steps forward.
It seems that as long as the Jinlin Guards don't give an explanation, they will go on a killing spree.
Du Ziming turned a blind eye and even kept his expression unchanged.
He dug at his painful ears, reached out and flicked the swords that almost pierced his chest, and sneered.
If it were Prince Ning's Mansion, and the guards there were from the Starfall Legion, and they were all decisive in killing, he might still be a little wary.
As for the Qi Prince’s Mansion in front of you?
Just a pile of scrap metal.
"Your Majesty, I'm not one to scare people, and don't use these things to scare people. Although I'm a little old, I'm not confused yet, so I naturally know where this place is."
As he spoke, Du Ziming looked up at the tall lintel of Prince Qi's Mansion, his voice as calm as water.
"As we all know, the status of each prince's palace is respected and has far-reaching influence both in the court and among the people. It is unmatched by other ordinary princes' palaces."
"If Jin Linwei doesn't have clear evidence in his hands, even if Du Ziming is given ten courages, he still won't dare to bring anyone here to Meng Lang."
Hum.
Chen Xiuzhu sneered.
"Evidence, what evidence, don't just say it with your mouth, show it to me?"
However, Du Ziming was not moved at all.
"My lord, you should know what good things you have done in the past. There are so many people here, and you keep shouting. It doesn't look good."
Speaking of this, Du Ziming pointed at himself without waiting for Chen Xiuzhu to speak.
"I, Du Ziming, say that at best he is the commander of the Jinlin Guards, but at worst he has a murderous dagger in His Majesty's hand. Now that this dagger has been stabbed at the door of your house, Your Majesty, what you should be thinking about now is not to show off, but to use The identity of the prince is not about scaring people, but how to reduce one's guilt in the following days."
At this time, the area around Prince Qi's Mansion was already crowded with people, and more onlookers continued to arrive from other places.
Although there was already a sea of people, there was silence near the gate of the palace. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened curiously to the conversation between the two.
Du Ziming's voice was not too loud, but many people could still hear him clearly.
There was a sudden commotion among the onlookers.
They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Jin Linwei is not a soft-hearted person. If he already has clear evidence in his hands, why are they just surrounding Prince Qi's mansion and not arresting anyone?
Hum.
Chen Xiuzhu's mind turned a hundred and eight times in an instant, and he sneered again, but his voice couldn't help but lower.
"How ridiculous!"
"Du Ziming, I have been studying the calligraphy and sayings of saints since I was a child. I have always thought about the virtuous and looked at myself when I saw the unworthy. If I really do something wrong, no matter how big or small, I will definitely apologize to my father. It's up to his old man to take care of him, so I won't dare to complain."
"Now that my father is slightly ill and has not been in court for a long time... I am afraid that he has some wandering thoughts and is even bold enough to falsely convey the holy will..."
Buzz~
The onlookers heard another slight commotion.
King Qi's remarks seemed to indicate that Emperor Changxing was seriously ill, and the prince began to falsely pass on imperial edicts to take the opportunity to eradicate King Qi's palace?
Chen Xiuzhu ignored these and continued talking.
"And looking at the entire Xingji City, I am not the only prince's palace. Even if some people block the door of my Chen Xiuzhu's house today, it may not be that easy to block the mouths of everyone in the world."
"You are a majestic commander of the Jinlin Guards. One person is less than ten thousand people. No one can say what will happen in the future, but you have to think carefully about whether you want to account for the tiger!"
Snap, snap, snap.
Du Ziming looked strange and clapped.
He looked at the sky and said, "It's the end of April now, and the weather in Xingji City is a bit dull. My lord, continue your performance. I have been listening."
"you……"
Chen Xiuzhu was so angry that his face trembled.
He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
How can this be unreasonable? This bastard thinks that I am playing monkey.
The two sides are in a stalemate,
I don’t know how long it will take,
Gotta get.
Suddenly there was the sound of rapid horse hooves in the distance.
A powerful voice sounded immediately.
"Make way, everyone, give way! The forbidden troops will pass, and those who block the road will die!"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they crowded to the side.
After a while, a road was squeezed out in front of Prince Qi's mansion that could accommodate three horses.
Chen Xiuzhu looked for fame and went out, his heart sank.
At the other end of the street, a whole row of forbidden soldiers came in a hurry, holding bright swords and shields, guarding Chang Lu's young apprentice.
Wow.
Arriving in front of Prince Qi's Mansion, Xiao Lizi did not dismount.
He held up a yellow dragon-shaped jade pendant high and screamed in a eunuch's unique voice: "If you see this card, it will be like I am here in person."
"Long live my emperor."
Everyone, including Chen Xiuzhu and Du Ziming, was stunned and quickly bowed their heads to show respect.
"Your Majesty orally: King Chen Xiuzhu of Qi, Luo Ken, Minister of Industry, and Huang Kai, left minister of the Ministry of Industry, etc., were suspected of colluding with each other during the war in Huayang County last year with the intention of destroying our country and destroying the peace of our people."
"The Jinlin Guards are now ordered to search Prince Qi's Mansion, and Chen Xiuzhu and his family are sent to the Dali Temple Prison for strict guarding. No one is allowed to visit. We will wait for the Third Division to verify the situation before making any decisions."
"Impossible," Chen Xiuzhu's face turned pale with fright, and he no longer looked as aggressive as before, "I am unjustly accused!"
"My father has been unconscious for a long time, and may have died. This is obviously the prince's thief who falsely passed on the imperial edict in an attempt to frame the king, so that he can take the throne..."
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"Nonsense," Xiao Lizi on horseback screamed, "Your Majesty just felt cold occasionally. As a son of destiny, you have auspicious stars and celestial phenomena. Now you have recovered your spirit..."
"Come here, King Qi is making unreasonable remarks about His Majesty, which is really disrespectful. Shut his mouth."
Phew~
The Jinlin Guards behind Du Ziming were already prepared, and before Xiao Lizi finished speaking, they pounced on him like wolves and tigers.
Gag to gag, arrest to arrest, and seize to seize.
Everyone has a clear division of labor.
Not much effort,
Wow.
The "Prince Qi's Mansion" plaque above the lintel was instantly removed.
