After a moment of silence, the voice rang again, "Wei Wenbin committed a capital crime and his head was beheaded yesterday. Many people here saw this, but he is still alive and well.

Wei Jingcheng said with a heavy expression, "I've made it very clear that the person just now wasn't Wei Wenbin."

"I... I recognize him. He's Wei Wenbin. " A man dressed in green said in a low voice as he shrunk his neck back. Behind him, there were a few people who responded and identified the person who had been hanging on the tower as Wei Wenbin.

Just as Wei Jingcheng was thinking about how to deal with this, a sign was thrown at his feet, "May I trouble you to explain the words on the sign?"

Wei Jingcheng lowered his eyes and took a look as he indifferently said, "There's nothing that I need to explain. Why should I?"

"Whether it's because he doesn't want to explain, or because Lord Wei can't explain at all." It turned out that Elder Liu had finally found the person hiding in the crowd. It was a young man in his twenties. He was held tightly by the bailiff and was unable to move. "Put him in jail for me!"

The young man struggled with all his might, "I didn't commit any crimes, what right do you have to capture me?"

Martial Grandmaster Liu shouted coldly, "Incitement! Gather a large crowd to disturb the yamen, and you still dare to say that you did not commit any crimes? Take him away!"

"I just want to know why Wei Wenbin didn't die. What's wrong with it? All of you are acting this way because you have a guilty conscience." After pausing for a moment, he suddenly laughed. "I got it. It's just like the sign says, 'Stealing dragons and changing phoenixes, using innocent people to strangle Wei Wenbin to death. You're all so despicable!"

"In the eyes of you officials, what is law and what is life? No matter how powerful or powerful you are, you do not need to die. On the contrary, we who follow the law will be captured or even killed!"

Seeing that Wei Jingcheng's face was growing more and more unsightly, Master Liu quickly shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pull them down!"

The bailiff pulled the youth away for a few steps before he was stopped by a few civilians. He said nervously, "He did not make a mistake. There's no reason for you to send him to jail."

Martial Aunt Liu gave a cold snort. "Based on his slandering of the imperial court officials, it's enough for him to be locked up in jail for the rest of his life!"

A grey robed old man holding a pipe walked up and cupped his hands. "Since you guys said that he slandered the imperial court officials, then please tell us why Wei Wenbin, who was executed yesterday, is still alive."

"I said, he's not Wei Wenbin. You saw wrong." Before Wei Jingcheng could finish his words, the grey robed old man said resolutely, "Although this little one is old, my eyes are still bright. The person on the city gate tower is Wei Wenbin, that's absolutely correct!"

At the start, there were only a few voices in the crowd, but more and more voices came from behind. Moreover, the crowd was getting more and more excited, and they were shouting for them to release the young man, no matter how Master Liu shouted, he couldn't suppress it. The latter looked at Wei Jingcheng with a head full of cold sweat, "My lord, this … "What should we do?"

Wei Jingcheng also had a bit of trepidation in his heart. He could never have imagined that the ordinary people who were like sheep would have such a tough side to them. Seeing that people were constantly gathering around them, he was afraid that the situation would get worse and worse.

The noisy crowd quietened down. Just when they thought that they would leave just like that, the old man in grey knocked his pipe on the stone lion beside him, took a deep breath, and slowly said amidst the suffocating smoke: "It seems that our lord would rather give the order to capture someone than explain. But my lord, Wei Wenbin did not die, the entire Jin'ling City has already been informed, could it be that you plan to capture all the citizens of Jinling City, and keep the Jing Zhao Prefecture locked up?"

Wei Jingcheng was rendered speechless by his question. His embarrassment turned into anger as he scolded, "Mischief! A bunch of mischievous people!"

"I just want to know the truth. I just want to know if the Son of Heaven still has any laws under his feet. I'm sorry, I can't bear it!" The grey-clothed old man thought that he had read before, this sentence was neither servile nor overbearing, it was something that no one could refute.

Wei Jingcheng's face turned red and blue. After being a government official for so many years, he had handled so many small and large matters, but none of them were as troublesome as he was now. Was he really going to arrest all of them?

Just as Wei Jingcheng was in a dilemma, he heard a familiar voice, "Yo, it's quite lively here. What are you doing?"

When Wei Jingcheng saw who it was, he hurried over and cupped his hands in salute, "Greetings, King Mu."

"Alright, you know that I don't need these false etiquettes." Dongfang Ze casually said, pointed at the crowd and joked, "Sir Wei, are you planning to give me rice or silver as a gift, to attract so many people."

With a bitter face, Wei Jingcheng said, "Prince, please don't tease this official. This official is about to die from worry."

Dongfang Ze sized him up. "It seems like something has happened. Tell me about it."

Wei Jingcheng whispered into his ear. Dongfang Ze's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Wei Jingcheng and asked, "Are you serious?"

"How could I dare to joke about this? He's in the government office right now. I was planning to take him to His Majesty, but who would've thought that so many people would come to cause trouble? They can't be persuaded to leave, and they can't even be caught. I really don't know what to do."

Dongfang Ze thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you let me talk to them?"

Wei Jingcheng couldn't wait to shake off this hot potato as he quickly nodded, "Your Highness, please."

Dongfang Ze walked over, but he didn't immediately speak up to persuade his. Instead, he signaled the bailiff to let go of the youth and gently asked, "Are you injured?"

The youth was flattered: "No..." "I'm not hurt, but my arm hurt a little from their grabbing."

"It's good that you're fine." Dongfang Ze patted him on the shoulder, then walked up the bluestone staircase and said seriously, "Everyone, this king knows that you all want to know the truth, but it is useless for you all to make things difficult for Sir Wei. After all, Wei Wenbin's case is not a trial or execution; it suddenly happened and Sir Wei is just like you all, confused and confused about what is going on. Why don't you all go back first and wait for us to investigate this matter before telling you! "

The youth shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that once we go back, Wei Wenbin will immediately be transferred over. You guys are all colluding with each other to protect him, and if you don't take the lives of the commoners seriously, you can't be trusted at all!"

When the amiable Dongfang Ze heard this, his expression immediately turned cold. He walked up to the youth and coldly said, "You are the first person to say that to This King. Should This King praise your courage or … Stupid? "

The youth wanted to speak, but was stopped by the grey robed elder, "Will King Mu really give us an explanation?"

Before Dongfang Ze could speak, the youth anxiously said, "Old man Zhang, don't believe him. These people are not telling the truth."
