C860 Arrogant

Shen Muqing nodded his head. "This matter is not simple. There might be someone behind the scenes to add fuel to the fire, leading to the battle between the royal brother and the seventh imperial brother. If the royal brother personally makes a move, I'm afraid …"2

Thinking of this, Shen Muqing stood up solemnly and said, "Shi Yao, bring Shang Fang's Treasure Sword, and tell Legend Lee Cunxiao that Lee Yuanba is leading the new recruits to rush to the Shuntian Prefecture!"

At this very moment, the Shuntian Prefecture Hall was in a state of extreme depression. Countless citizens had gathered here, waiting to see what was going on inside.

With worry in his eyes, this time, Yang Zhi killed Niu Er for the common people. Other than a huge threat, everyone was grateful. They even wrote down a book to protect Yang Zhi.

"Mighty!"

A dignified voice suddenly sounded, but in the tense atmosphere, it was like a giant boulder was hanging in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a red robe as he sat at the head of the table. He patted the wooden log and said, "I'm bringing suspect Yang Zhi!"

Moments later, a path was opened up among the crowd. Yang Zhi, who was wearing a prison uniform, was brought up and knelt down.

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Yang Zhi, you killed Niu Er on the street. Do you have any excuses?"

Yang Zhi replied: "Reporting to my lord, that Niu Er is a hoodlum. He actually forced me to use my saber, and he even punched and kicked me. I was forced to kill him due to anger. Please see for yourself!"

Peng, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the log and immediately said: "How dare you, Yang Zhi! According to what this official knows, you are a small general of the Yang Family who is proficient in martial arts. That Niu Er is just a hoodlum, how would he dare to fight with you? It was clearly you who wanted to try the sharpness of your treasured blade to kill Niu Er! "We are framing them for provoking us!"

Yang Zhi said anxiously, "No way! Back then, when Niu Er was pestering me, a lot of commoners could testify to it!"

The moment his voice fell, the onlookers all started shouting, "Yeah, we all saw it. That Niu Er provoked us first, Niu Er is a scoundrel. I can testify that Niu Er attacked this warrior Yang and was killed by warrior Yang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and said, "Which citizen is willing to testify about this?"

Li Wenzhong stepped forward and said, "Who's willing to testify for Yang Zhi, step forward!"

Those civilians were about to go up, but suddenly dozens of strong men rushed in from outside. They hit the people randomly with sticks and said, "You dare to oppose Prince of Shou? Do you not want to live? I'll beat you to death!"

Suddenly, the yamen's entrance was filled with the screams of civilians. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the yamen for a while before saying, "How dare you! Where is the court legislation? How dare you make a ruckus!"

Fei Zhong swaggered in from the outside: "All of you stop!"

Then he said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Reporting to the Chief Judgement, this official is Fei Zhong of the Wu Steel Manor. I am here on the orders of Prince of Shou to listen in on any disturbing matters. Please forgive me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "We have the Royal Medallion of Prince of Shou. We can listen in on the side. Take a seat!"

Fei Zhong faced the commoners outside and threatened, "Put out the light with your eyes. I'll sit here and see who dares to oppose Prince of Shou!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and sat on the chair. Li Wenzhong then asked, "Who's willing to testify on behalf of Warrior Yang? Step forward!"

The commoners looked at each other in dismay. No one moved forward. Who dared to testify? They wanted to kill themselves!

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "No one has testified yet. The words you defend cannot be testified. According to the law of China, killing on the streets is an adverse effect. The punishment is extreme punishment."

"Someone, come!"

As soon as he finished, "Wait!" Suddenly, a voice filled with authority was heard. The onlookers could not help but be frightened by this voice and split apart!
