"Haha, that's a good scolding. Yes, stealing other people's things and being killed by them is a normal grudge in the world. You can't say that the person you robbed is your prince. We, the son of a big businessman, should be bullied.
.”
Prince Xiahou laughed loudly.
"That's right, Mr. Xiang is right in what he said. If you act like this, you will be killed and you still have the face to ask for the crime. Where is your face? Your Scorpion Kingdom did not build its country by force. Where is the dignity of the warriors of your Scorpion Kingdom?"
"Yes, Mr. Xiang is not guilty of murder."
"Robbing other people's things, being killed by them, or beating so many people at once? If such a scandal happened in my home, I would be embarrassed to mention it. Gee, Scorpio Country is still a country founded by force."
The military generals of the Xiahou Prince faction and the powerful military generals of the Scorpio Kingdom also made ridicule and supported Xiang Chen.
"Your Majesty, Xiang Chen's move is to promote the prestige of our great Shang nation. Not only is it innocent, but it is actually meritorious. Please tell me, Your Majesty!" Prince Xiahou said, cupping his fists.
"Please give me a clear warning, Your Majesty." Many generals said one after another.
King Shang looked at Xiang Chen with an indifferent expression, and glanced at Lin Ba and others.
Lin Ba understood and said: "In the past, Xiang Chen's move did not mean anything. However, in these extraordinary times, Scorpio Country and Great Shang have ceased war and established friendly relations. Xiang Chen's move is destroying peace. Once war breaks out again,
, and how many soldiers will die on the battlefield, this is a great crime!"
"That's right, those who destroy the peace should be punished. Your Majesty will give you a clear warning!" Lin Lian also said.
"Please, Your Majesty, punish Xiang Chen."
People from the Lin family faction spoke out one after another, and many moderate literati also spoke out against Xiang Chen.
The court was immediately divided into two major factions, those who supported Xiang Chen's innocence and those who wanted Xiang Chen punished.
Tang Hui said coldly: "Xiang Chen, you broke into our Lord Ye Fei's cave and handed over the spirit eggs you stole."
Xiang Chen sneered and said: "I cooked all the spirit eggs and ate them. I want them, but I don't have them!"
"You ate the descendants of our country's spiritual beasts!"
Ambassador Xiang Yang was furious, clasping his fists at King Shang and saying: "Please cherish peace, King Shang, punish Xiang Chen, and hand this murderer over to us."
Xiang Chen looked at King Shang and said: "Your Majesty, it's nothing to punish Xiang Chen. However, if you punish Xiang Chen, doesn't it mean that we, the Shang warriors, are publicly admitted to be inferior to them, Scorpio? It's not good for the fate of the country and people's hearts.
"
King Shang looked at the people arguing below, and then said indifferently: "Shut up!"
Everyone became quiet after hearing this.
King Shang looked at Queen Lin aside and said, "What do you think of the queen?"
Queen Lin's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Xiang Chen, and everyone's attention was also focused on Queen Lin.
Lin Hou said: "Now is the time of peace. Peace is hard-won and cannot be destroyed by others. Secondly, Xiang Chen went into the Scorpio Kingdom's territory, fought with others, killed people, and stole the spiritual eggs. After all, we should settle the blame first.
, However, Xiang Chen also had no choice but to resist, and it can be considered that there was a reason for it. I think Xiang Chen is guilty, but the crime will not lead to death, and the person cannot be handed over to the Scorpio Kingdom. I suggest that he be imprisoned in the sky prison for twenty years to reflect.
"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Prince Xiahou and others changed slightly.
Is Xiang Chen imprisoned in Heavenly Prison for twenty years? Isn't that Xiang Chen's life in ruins?
Lin Ba immediately said loudly: "The queen is wise. This suggestion shows our attitude of cherishing peace and saves Xiang Chen's life. She is worthy of being the queen of the world."
"The Queen's suggestion makes sense."
Many civil servants agreed.
Xiang Chen looked at Queen Lin with cold eyes. Would he be imprisoned in a prison for twenty years? If he was not tortured to death, he would lose half his life and his life would be ruined from now on. It would be better to support killing him.
"If this is the case, we agree. In short, Xiang Chen must accept punishment!"
Ambassador Xiang Yang said, his eyes cold.
"Your Majesty, if Xiang Chen is dealt with like this, I don't know how much it will chill the hearts of the soldiers who spread their blood at the border." Prince Xiahou said quickly.
King Shang said: "Queen Lin's suggestion is the most appropriate. Xiang Chen did something that undermined peace during peacetime and should be punished!"
King Shang’s words undoubtedly meant to convict Xiang Chen!
"Come here, take Xiang Chen down and put him in a prison for twenty years!" Queen Lin shouted.
Immediately, a group of palace guards rushed up to imprison Xiang Chen.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Lin Ba said respectfully, looked at Xiang Chen, and sneered in his heart, "Xiang Chen, Xiang Chen, your future is over."
Prince Xiahou looked gloomy, but he did not openly challenge the majesty of the king in the palace.
Two palace guards went over to escort Xiang Chen. They were both strong men in the first level of the Yuanyang Realm.
"Little beast, you're done." Lin Lian sneered in a low voice and looked at Xiang Chen.
Xiang Chen was detained, his face was calm, and he said: "It's sad. In order to deal with me, Xiang Chen, and a whole country, in front of others, you have lost the integrity and blood of the entire country. Hahahaha, give me Xiang Chen again."
Given a chance, I, Xiang Chen, will still kill your Scorpio Prince, Scorpio Kingdom, but that’s it!”
If the King of Shang wants to kill him, who in the court can protect him?
"Master Xiang..." A group of generals felt aggrieved when they heard this.
Ambassador Xiang Yang sneered, walked towards Xiang Chen, and whispered: "Boy, how can you fight against a country by yourself? After you are imprisoned in the sky prison, we will continue to force King Shang to kill you."
Xiang Chen spit directly on Ambassador Xiang Yang's face and sneered: "Even if I go to the prison, you can't do anything to me."
Ambassador Xiang Yang touched his cheek, then flicked his backhand and slapped Xiang Chen on the face, causing blood to bleed from the corner of Xiang Chen's mouth.
"I will remember this slap!"
Xiang Chen looked at Ambassador Xiangyang with cold eyes.
"Why don't you take him to prison!" Lin Ba shouted.
Xiang Chen was taken away and was taken to the Heavenly Prison.
"Xiang Chen is not guilty, the hero of the country, Xiang Chen is not guilty!"
"Xiang Chen is not guilty!"
However, at this time, no less than 300,000 to 400,000 people gathered outside the palace and on the major streets, and countless people shouted that Xiang Chen was not guilty.
So many people gathered together to shout that Xiang Chen was innocent. The momentum was amazing.
"The Scorpion Kingdom has bullied my great merchant. We have fought against my great merchant for so many years and have become mortal enemies. Master Xiang Chen killed the enemy prince and destroyed the demon eggs. He is a hero and is not guilty!"
Chi Xue and others took the lead in shouting, and several forces from Wanyao Pavilion secretly pushed for it. Countless Zhenwu monks and people stormed the palace gate.
"Back off, everyone back off!"
"What do you want to do? Rebellion!"
The guards kept shouting angrily and resisting. However, the defense line was constantly being broken down, and there were too many people.
"Quick, report to the king!" the general of the imperial guard roared. If this continues, the palace gate will be pushed open.
In fact, there is no need to report it. The commotion here has shocked everyone in the court to come to the viewing platform to watch. They saw a sea of people gathered around the palace, all shouting that Xiang Chen was not guilty. The momentum was amazing.
