He looked at his younger brother who was a few steps away with a strange look in his eyes. In his impression, this younger brother was always so quiet, well-behaved, and even taciturn.

When they were together.

He said more than ten sentences, but Xiao Jincheng didn't even reply three.

Now, standing on this execution platform, in front of the people, I can say so many words, and every word is damning.

"Brother, you must believe me." Xiao Jincheng looked at Xiao Yan'an eagerly, like a wounded little animal, desperately in need of comfort.

Xiao Yan'an stepped forward and patted Xiao Jincheng on the shoulder. "Don't worry. We have a deep brotherly relationship. How could we be easily provoked by a stranger who has done so much evil?"

"Thank you for your trust, brother." Xiao Jincheng responded with emotion.

This scene of brothers being friendly and respectful to each other moved many people.

"That's right, the Crown Prince and the Second Young Master are brothers, even if their bones are broken they are still connected!"

"The Second Young Master is so pitiful. He fought against several bullies with such a weak body. He was injured so badly and was slandered. Fortunately, the prince believed in the Second Young Master."

"That's right! The Second Young Master is such a good man!"

"I admire the Second Young Master from the bottom of my heart!"

For a time, voices praising Xiao Jincheng were heard everywhere.

Xiao Yan'an looked at the scene in front of him and thought to himself, has Xiao Jincheng achieved the purpose of his trip today?

So many people know about his deeds of helping others and doing good deeds.

Xiao Yan'an turned and looked at Zhou Dahu, "Come here, take Zhou Dahu to the execution platform!"

"Yes!" Two guards immediately dragged Zhou Dahu out of the prison car.

Zhou Dahu, who was being held on the execution platform, looked at Xiao Yan'an in disbelief.

"Prince! I am innocent!"

"You still dare to cry out for injustice! Your crime is already a fact. You are not wronged at all, but deserve to die!"

"Xiao Yan'an! How dare you play tricks on me! I have already publicly testified against the Second Young Master at the execution ground as you ordered. You said you would give me a way to live as long as I testified in person! You are a fickle villain!" Zhou Dahu had no scruples anymore and cursed at Xiao Yan'an.

There was a sudden whisper all around.

"No way? Accusing the Second Young Master of being arranged by the Crown Prince?"

"Didn't the prince just say earlier that he believed the second young master? And he insisted on executing him."

"I think there is something fishy about this!" A particularly loud voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"It's not the Crown Prince who believes in the Second Young Master, it's us the people who believe in the Second Young Master! The Crown Prince must be worried that things will get out of hand, so he said those words that he believes in the Second Young Master!"

"I also think that if we had always suspected the Second Young Master, he might have been arrested by now!" Someone in the crowd immediately echoed.

Xiao Yan'an had never expected Zhou Dahu to suddenly say something like this.

More and more people in the audience spoke up for Xiao Jincheng.

"The Second Young Master is so outstanding. I think the Crown Prince is just jealous of the Second Young Master and is afraid that the Second Young Master will affect his position, so he came up with this method to deal with the Second Young Master."

"It makes more sense and is convincing!"

The people around were also influenced by the conversation, and many of them nodded.

Xiao Yan'an looked at Xiao Jincheng. Xiao Jincheng did not speak for him like he had just done. Instead, he looked at him with disbelief, suspicion, and sadness.

Silent reaction is better than spoken accusation!

It turns out that this is Xiao Jincheng's real purpose.

Xiao Yan'an thought of what Ji Chuhe had said before, walked to the front of the stage, and looked at the people below who were clamoring and doubting him.

"I, Xiao Yan'an, am the legitimate son of the Huaiyang Palace. I was born to be a precious person. The emperor personally named me the prince when I was born! As long as I am alive, no one can take my place!"

"That may not be the case! If the prince is unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility and inherits the throne in the future, the people will suffer. Can it be that the people can only recognize you as the king?" A voice sounded again, confronting Xiao Yan'an.

"Excuse me, sir, what is your name? Where do you live? How old are you? Are you educated? What books have you read?" A clear and sweet female voice came out.

Everyone immediately looked in that direction.

Ji Chuhe walked up the steps slowly and stood on the execution platform, shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Yan'an.

As she came up, a team of guards suddenly came running from all directions and stood at every exit.

The man who was shouting just now looked around and his momentum immediately weakened. He even didn't dare to look Ji Chuhe in the eye.

"What? Sir, you don't answer any of my questions? Sir, you care so much about the people and the future of Huaiyang. You must be a talented person. Even if you are not, you must be a man of both literary and military skills. I still have some questions that I would like to ask you." Ji Chuhe said sincerely, as if he really respected the person in the audience.

The man was so nervous that his face turned pale. He didn't dare to answer, and had no way to answer Ji Chuhe's question.

Ji Chuhe sneered, and his eyes became contemptuous.

"If anyone in the audience knows this gentleman, and can tell me his identity, I will reward you handsomely!" Ji Chuhe took out a silver ingot, weighing a full ten taels.

There was a sudden commotion in the audience.

"I know him, Madam Crown Prince, I know him!" A middle-aged man raised his arm.

"Where did he come from?" Ji Chuhe asked.

"Master? Puchi! He is just a gangster!" The middle-aged man who answered couldn't help laughing.

As soon as the word "hooligan" came out, people around burst into laughter.

"Those without land are called vagrants, and those without houses are called hooligan. Such people must be illiterate. You even dare to question the ability of the prince. Who gives you the confidence to say such shameless words? Or are you being instructed by others and have ulterior motives?" Ji Chuhe asked coldly!

The man was laughed at by everyone and immediately lowered his head.

"Madam, we all call him Yu Lao Er. He hangs around our area all day long. He has strong hands and feet, and he begs for food with a thick face!" The middle-aged man spoke again and directly exposed the identity of Yu Lao Er.

"It seems that this is his true identity. Come up and claim your reward."

The middle-aged man couldn't help but be delighted and quickly squeezed out of the crowd to go on stage to get the silver.

Ji Chuhe put the silver into his hand personally and said thank you.

"Madam, you are too polite. A man like this just speaks without thinking. Anyone who believes him is a fool!"

Ji Chuhe smiled and nodded.

Look, how good at talking! The ten taels of silver were not wasted.

"Thank you, Madam Crown Prince, for the reward!" The middle-aged man walked down the stage holding the silver, attracting countless envious glances.

That’s ten taels of silver!

An average family doesn’t spend that much in a year!

What a piece of shit luck!

At this moment, no one cared about Zhou Dahu's words. They were all attracted by the reward of ten taels of silver.

Xiao Jincheng looked at this scene and felt filled with hatred!

Originally, the situation was under his control, but as soon as Ji Chuhe appeared, the situation was out of his control like a wild horse running wild!
