Someone in the crowd said: "Your Majesty, it's not that we want to gather people to cause trouble, but we heard that the heart-robbing monster is hiding in your mansion.
There are also rumors that the prince was deceived by the succubus and allowed her to commit crimes. We are really frightened and want to find out what happened, and we also ask the prince to give us an explanation."
Xiao Chengyi sternly rebuked: "It's all nonsense. In the clear world, there are no monsters causing trouble. It's clear that someone is causing trouble. Don't be deceived.
I promise you that I will find this murderer and restore peace to the capital. Please go back."
The people stood where they were, no one left, obviously they couldn't believe what the regent said.
Xiao Chengyi squinted his eyes, glanced at everyone and said, "What, do you have anything else to say?"
Some bold people raised questions and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that someone saw the banshee escaping here last night, and then there were rumors about the banshee in the house.
Why don't we go in and take a look? If it's really not there, we can feel at ease, and Mr. Shen can also clear away the suspicion, right?"
The implication is that they must go into Shen's Mansion today to check and find out the whereabouts of the monster.
Xiao Chengyi said coldly: "You are going to search the residences of the ministers based on your speculations. If everyone acts as recklessly as you do, then what's the use of the law?
The king knows that you want to find out the truth of the matter, but you must also act in accordance with the law. I will report the truth to your majesty and ask him to send people to search, so you can rest assured?"
People, you look at me, I look at you, but still no one leaves.
At this time, Xiao Jue walked out and said in a deep voice: "I am the prince of the current dynasty. Isn't it enough that I am here to prove that there are no evil spirits in Shen's house?"
The people were a little shaken after hearing this.
People often say that His Majesty is the real Dragon Emperor, and as His Majesty's son, the Prince is the Son of the Dragon. What kind of evil dares to get close to him?
Is it false that there are evil spirits hidden in the Shen Mansion?
But if this evil spirit is not eliminated, they will not be able to feel at ease.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a group of officers and soldiers in armor running over and surrounding the place.
Upon seeing this, the common people gave way one after another, and saw the general who was leading him walking over quickly, clasping his fists and saluting: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I will disperse these common people now."
As he spoke, he gave an order: "Come here, drive these unruly people away. Anyone who resists will be arrested."
He was Qin Hengyuan, the guard of the patrol camp, responsible for public security in the capital. It was his dereliction of duty when people came to make trouble in front of Shen's mansion.
Xiao Chengyi recognized this person. When he saw the officers and soldiers trying to take him, he yelled: "Stop!"
He looked at Qin Hengyuan and said in a cold voice: "General Qin, what are you doing?"
Qin Hengyuan said with a respectful attitude: "Your Majesty, these people have gathered together to cause trouble and are so bold that they should not be leniently spared."
Xiao Chengyi said: "They are also afraid, so they came to ask what happened. If you use troops to suppress it, aren't you afraid of causing public anger?"
Qin Hengyuan's expression changed, and he knelt on the ground and said: "The general is not thinking well, so I ask the prince to punish me."
Xiao Chengyi said: "That's it, get up."
When the people saw that Xiao Chengyi had stopped General Qin, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
You must know that they are also afraid in their hearts, but they dare to make trouble here because of the large number of people.
