Fu Jiuqu’s words are shocking.

How could a dignified prince say such a thing for a commoner woman? Such a decisive decision and no regard for dignity, just for a promise to Zhang Xun?

There was silence all around.

The sunshine shrank back at some point.

"What did you say? Say it again?"

The doubts and anger coming from the imperial carriage cast a layer of gloom over Yujie, but they failed to change Fu Jiuqu's decision.

"I said, if you want to kill her, kill me first."

Zhao Zhen did not move for a long time, and the imperial chariot was so quiet that there was no sound. However, Zhang Yaozhuo was the first to come to his senses.

He patted his butt, took the black gauze hat that the long attendant picked up from the ground, put it on his head again, and straightened his official robe, feeling much more confident.

"The prince of Guangling County values ​​​​love and justice, so he cannot despise the national law because of this."

Zhang Yaozhuo hated Fu Jiuqu in his heart and wanted to cut him into pieces, but he was very clear-headed and knew the relationship between the prince of Guangling County and the official family.

If the official doesn't say anything, he must not say it.

He had to think of things that the officials hadn't thought of.

"The official family, the county prince must have been provoked by the villain, so he lost his sense of control and openly stopped the car and robbed the prisoner..."

This treacherous guy sounded like he was speaking for the Prince of Guangling County, but in fact he was convicting Fu Jiuqu of "prisoner robbery", and at the same time, he was secretly trying to get rid of his official position. Someone was behind the scenes...

Then, he loudly urged Fu Jiuqu to be convicted again.

"Prince Guangling, why don't you put down your weapons quickly? Using force in front of the officials is disobedient and unethical."

Zhang Yaozhuo looked anxious and secretly proud of himself.

In front of the people all over the city, he wanted to see how the Zhao family protected Fu Jiuqu. Wanted to sit idly by and do nothing? Impossible! Come on, he also wanted to force the officials to punish him.

There were whispers all around.

Zhao Zhen's expression changed again and again, and he sighed.

"Chonglou, you have disappointed me so much. How can I forgive you now that things have happened?"

Fu Jiuqu's expression remained unchanged: "I accept the punishment that I should bear. As long as the officials let Mrs. Zhang go, let her do whatever she wants!"

"That's unreasonable!" Zhao Zhen suddenly lowered his voice and slapped the imperial chariot so that it trembled slightly, "You are an incurable thing, are you forcing me?"

"Prince, please calm down..." Xin Yi whispered.

She clearly felt that the emperor was riding a tiger and was in trouble. With Zhang Yaozhuo fanning the flames and countless people watching, Zhao Zhen was now being grilled on a fire. Even if he didn't want to kill Fu Jiuqu, he was still in trouble.

Xin Yi is willing to take this step.

She lowered her voice and glanced at Fu Jiuqu.

"This matter has nothing to do with the prince. Don't say I am not guilty. Even if I am guilty, I should not let the prince of Guangling bear the responsibility together with me. Get out of the way and I will reason with the officials..."

"Shut up." Fu Jiuqu said coldly: "As long as I'm here, it's not your turn to take the lead."

"Prince, one person does the work and the other takes responsibility..."

"If one person does something, another person is responsible, so what does what I do have to do with you? I am the one who kidnaps the prisoner."

Xin Yi had already seen Fu Jiuqu's paranoia. A gentleman would say that a thousand pieces of gold are not easy to come by. He would probably give up his honor, wealth, and even his life just for a promise.

Xin Yi inexplicably developed some respect for Fu Jiuqu.

"Stop contradicting the official, it's up to me." She said in a low voice, suddenly moved her stiff feet and stepped back.

Since the biggest boss in the world is right in front of you, who can you go to if you have any grievances but not him?

Xin Yi looked at Zhao Zhen's age, and with a bang, he knelt in the prison car without any pressure, looking pitiful to Chu Chu.

"The officials, save me! The officials, save the women of the people! The women of the people are unjustly accused..."

She imitated Zhang Yaozhuo's appearance just now.

She screamed whatever Zhang Yaozhuo complained about to the emperor. Moreover, she was young and had been in jail for several days. She was pale, frail and shivering in the cold wind. She looked much more miserable than Zhang Yaozhuo. She was completely

An innocent woman who suffered a lot.

"The husband of a civilian daughter died for the country and died at Kunlun Pass, leaving us orphans and widowed mothers struggling to survive. I don't know which dignitaries were offended, and they tried to take the civilian daughter's life again and again...

Fortunately, the king of Guangling County saw an injustice and drew his sword to help. Otherwise, the daughter of the people would have been dead... These things were originally done by the king of justice, but he did not expect that they would harm the king and the officials. If you want to punish the women, then punish the women.

One is ready..."

She spoke more and more pitifully,

Zhao Zhen's brows furrowed as he heard this.

Isn't it a cane punishment?

Why does it sound like Ling Chi was ordered to die in the underworld?

Thinking of this, the emperor became a little angry.

In order to calm down the incident, he weighed everything and thought he had done the best thing to deal with it... Who would have thought that this nephew would actually cause such a big trouble for him, making it difficult for him to end it...

"Okay, since you are all rushing to bear the responsibility for your crimes, I will help you. Come on! Drag this, this guilty woman down and execute her on the spot! Prince Guangling - take her to the Imperial City Prison for trial!"

"The officials don't want it. The daughter of the people was wronged, and the king of the county was even more wronged!" Xin Yi was afraid that Fu Jiuqu would cause trouble for the emperor again, so he turned around anxiously and suppressed his voice.

"Is the prince stupid? Please give in to the officials..."

Fu Jiuqu tilted his head slightly, looked into her eyes, and said in a low voice: "The Imperial City Prison is my territory."

Xin Yi was startled.

Yes, this is not equivalent to saying, "Here, please send Prince Guangling home?"

So, the Zhao Guan family is actually just bluffing?

Xin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or be angry, "Don't worry about me. I'm just going to get beaten. I'm going to be beaten. I'm still scared..."

Before she could even finish her voice, she suddenly heard Fu Jiuqu raise his voice.

"No matter how officials punish their ministers, they will all suffer, but Mrs. Zhang cannot be beaten. This case was originally made by Zhang Yaozhuo who beat the witness and deliberately framed her. How can he punish the widow of a hero for such a petty trick and chill the people?"

Zhao Zhen had a splitting headache and his face became increasingly unhappy.

Whether or not this little lady is an accomplice is no longer the most important thing. What matters is how to resolve this matter.

Zhao Guanjia said in a deep voice: "You are already a prisoner, and you still want to stand up for others?"

Fu Jiuqu said: "The prisoners are also citizens of the Song Dynasty, and they should also uphold justice. If the officials do not take back their orders, I will not obey."

Zhao Zhen asked: "What can you do if you don't accept it?"

Fu Jiuqu looked around, straightened his back, and held the sword in his hand tighter, "If you don't obey, you won't obey the official's punishment."

Zhang Yaozhuo felt secretly happy when he saw this. He was so stupid. The officials had repeatedly given him steps, but he couldn't move down. He had to talk back and embarrass the officials.

"Fu Jiuqu, do you know what you are talking about? You don't accept the emperor's words, do you want to rebel?"

Zhang Yaozhuo once again added fuel to the fire, adding to the atmosphere.

This bastard looks like a coward, but he has a pretty good brain and knows how to avoid the most important things and only add to his jealousy.

Xin Yi said: "Prince, please stop talking and stop speaking for me. Keep the green hills here and don't worry about running out of firewood. You have to protect yourself first before you can protect me."

"If I can't protect you, what can I do to protect myself?"

After Fu Jiuqu finished speaking in a deep voice, he snorted suddenly, opened the door of the prison car, pulled Xin Yi out, untied her shackles in front of everyone, cut off the iron chain, and protected her by his side, and then looked at her sternly.

Holding the crowd.

"If I can't save the people I want to save, I have not only broken my trust, but also lost my morality. As an official and a minister who eats and drinks from the imperial court, how can I just sit idly by and let the villains run rampant and the traitors trample on me? If I can't uphold justice and make decisions for the people, then I will do it.

What's the point of being a royal envoy for this county prince? It's okay if you don't want to."

Every word is decisive, like the north wind howling.

"If Your Majesty must punish Madam Zhang, please first remove me from my official position, take away my title, and then demote me to a commoner."

"you--"

Zhao Zhen was furious and was about to give an order when the man beside him who looked like a civil servant suddenly lowered his head and came closer and whispered something. Zhao Zhen's face changed unsteadily and there was no sound for a long time.

The atmosphere is unprecedentedly low-pressure.

Xin Yi secretly pulled Fu Jiuqu's sleeve, and he was about to die of anxiety, "Fu Jiuqu, can't you just give in?"

Fu Jiuqu's expression remained unchanged, "No."

Xin Yi gritted his teeth: "You are crazy."

Fu Jiuqu probably felt the tension in her body and looked down at her, "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you."

Xin Yi saw his calm expression and almost laughed angrily.

"I'm worried about you. Am I afraid of death? Do I look like someone who is afraid of death?"

"Like." Fu Jiuqu said, "Your body is shaking."

Xin Yi was pulled from the prison car by him and protected by his side. The two of them were very close and could sense each other's slightest emotions.

But how could Xin Yi tremble with fear?

She took a deep breath, "...I'm cold. Cold."

Fu Jiuqu seemed to have just noticed that she was wearing a thin prison uniform. He frowned slightly, took off his cloak and gave it to her.

"Put it on."
