"What about these people?" Lu Zhao pointed to the people behind him who were surrounded in front of the high platform and were now trapped in the middle, looking a little panicked.
Chu Yanze held his hands behind his back and shook them quietly. Xue Lin had won the hearts of the people in Beiguan. Water can carry or overturn a boat. He would not let himself lose it easily. He quietly stretched his back, waiting for Mingyi to speak and let him go.
Unexpectedly, Mingyi opened her lips and smiled, slightly raising her eyes to look at the crowded but silent people, "It's natural for people to let go, but... they may not all be people here, right?"
Chu Yanze was startled, and suddenly turned his head to look at Mingyi. What he saw was her smiling face, but the smile did not catch his eyes at all. It was so unpredictable that it was different from Xue Rong. Somewhat inexplicably similar.
"Go, let the corps commanders come and identify the person! Let them see clearly. If there is a mistake this time, their whole family will be charged with treason and collaboration with the enemy!" Mingyi's voice was carried away by the wind, making him The common people and assassins in the audience were inexplicably shocked.
The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason... is punishable by beheading.
As for the assassins, without any further instructions from Mingyi, they had already searched their bodies one by one in public, tied their hands and feet, removed their jaws, and were taken away.
"Don't worry, everyone. I'm delaying you for a while just for the safety of our Beiguan City. These people are crazy. If we let them stay among us, there will be endless troubles. Only by catching them out can we live a peaceful life." Mingyi When he turned to look at the people, his face was full of smiles, his tone was calm and gentle, but every word was filled with iron bones, "Most of you are Anxi people, please cooperate with the inspection." , it can prove one's innocence and also contribute to the defense of Beiguan, which is a great good deed. Today is the day of worshiping ancestors. The spirits of our ancestors in heaven will definitely express their gratitude to us who have the heart of our family and country. Although the Governor is at this time When you are defending against enemies outside, you can also understand your intention to protect your homeland. On behalf of the Governor, I would like to thank you all for your generosity!" Mingyi said, squatting down and gathering her crotch, and gave a deep blessing to the people.
Chu Yanze looked at her sideways, and all the emotions in his eyes disappeared.
There was a moment of silence, and then the people said, "We know that Madam has no choice but to do this, and we are willing to accept the test."
"We have a clear conscience and are naturally not afraid of inspection."
"Yes, for the sake of Beiguan and ourselves, Madam, just do the test."
"Although Madam is a prostitute, she is still calm in the face of cold arrows. She is a role model for us. Madam will do whatever she says. We all listen to Madam."
"Madam is worthy of being the wife of the governor. The governor is brave and the wife is smart. With you here, we will be safe in Beiguan and peaceful in Anxi!"
"Beiguan is safe, Anxi is peaceful!"
"Beiguan is safe, Anxi is peaceful!"
First someone shouted, and then someone else shouted, one after another, and the sound became a wave that almost resounded through the sky.
Mingyi's eyes were slightly moist, and the smile on her face became more real. A warm current passed through her heart. It turns out... this is how it feels to be supported and loved by others!
Lu Zhao took the order and went for a while, then led a group of people up, all of them looked nervous. Lu Zhao directly led them to the group of common people and asked them to identify them one by one. There were a lot of people beside the high platform just now, and Mingyi acted cautiously. With her kindness and power just now, even the corps commanders who were already vain didn't dare to fool them, and the people spontaneously monitored each other. , and after a while, the people slowly divided into two sides. On one side, the corps leader and other friends and neighbors confirmed that there were many people here, and there were more and more people there. There must be some problems on the other side. There are not many people there, and it slowly separates from the crowd.
Chu Yanze pinched his palms and saw that Mingyi had already sat down on the chair brought by Feng Yu. He then waved Feng Yu to his side and whispered a few words. Feng Yu nodded and took two faint pictures from Wei Yu's hand. The roll of paper with ink stains showing through it turned towards the people. Chu Yanze looked around and happened to see that the two rolls of paper were two portraits. One of them was actually lifelike, and it looked like Wei Xuanzhi.
Chu Yanze looked at Mingyi with a look that was almost horrified. It turned out that there was a sudden martial law in Beiguan City before, and the Anxi army and the government joined forces to conduct multiple searches inside and outside the city. Was it really because Wei Xunzhi was discovered in Beiguan?
But how did they know?
When Wei Xuanzhi came to Beiguan, only a few people knew that except for him, the rest were Wei Xuanzhi's confidants. He could only use it with confidence if his life was in his hands. Those people would not dare to betray him no matter what. Therefore, it is impossible for the news to leak out from them.
No! Chu Yanze's pupils shrank slightly. Apart from them, there was another person who knew - Hu Luyan, the fourth prince of Beidi.
And whose idea was those two cold arrows aimed at him just now? But none of them had ever informed him. Was it just a show, or were they really willing to sacrifice him in order to create a rift between Anxi and the court?
The expression on Chu Yanze's face changed several times, but his eyes turned sinister, and the corners of his lips were tightly pursed. Mingyi caught a glimpse and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
On the other end, Feng Yu held the portrait and looked at the people one by one. Chu Yanze knew Wei Xuuzhi's plan. He was among the people at this time. Although he didn't know what disguise he was using, he could still hide if he continued like this. In the past? Although Chu Yanze had doubts, he still didn't want to see Wei Xunzhi fall into Xue Lin's hands. They were grasshoppers on the same rope.
Thinking of this, Chu Yanze no longer hesitated and looked towards a certain place under the high platform. One of his guards looked up, nodded silently, then turned around, taking advantage of everyone's attention to the people. The head, through the crowds of human figures, disappeared in a flash.
Chu Yanze withdrew his gaze and looked at the people's office again, but his expressions couldn't help but tighten. But it turned out that Fengyu and the others seemed to have discovered something. Several people held the portrait and compared it with the people not far away, and then moved towards Walk in the direction of those people...
Chu Yanze couldn't help but feel excited. At this moment, something suddenly changed on the high platform.
"What does it smell like?" Someone wrinkled his nose and smelled it.
"Fire! Fire!" At this moment, someone pointed at Mingyi and shouted in alarm.
Mingyi, like everyone else, suddenly turned around and saw smoke and fire rushing up, covering half of the high platform. The fire started from under the high platform. It was probably because of the pouring of oil that it spread so fast. And the high platform was originally built temporarily with bamboo poles for this grand event. How could it withstand the fire?
"lady?"
"Quick, quick, Madam Protector, get off the platform!"
"The Governor left a message. Madam's safety is the most serious, and the rest can be released later!"
There were people on and off the stage exclaiming that for some reason the smoke was so thick and dense that it was rolling in. Mingyi covered her mouth and nose, turned to look at the other end of the crowd, and saw that there was also chaos on the other side. It turned out that a few people took advantage of the chaos and fired a few poisonous smoke pellets, and yellow-green smoke suddenly rose up. Then, in the billowing smoke, those few people finally stopped hiding, showed their weapons, cut a way out, and fled. In the lightning and flint, a pair of eyes turned back to look at Mingyi. In the smoke, Mingyi could see clearly. , that face that she could easily recognize even if it was burned to ashes, even if she was reincarnated for two lifetimes - Wei Xuanzhi, it was really him!
