Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

She naturally knew that Wu Ninglei was not the biological son of the King of Li, but the people did not know it.

Now that the peace talks have just reached a preliminary consensus, the people are immersed in the joy of opening up the trade routes between the two countries. At such an important moment, such a thing happened. I am afraid they will be extremely angry.

It was too late for Lin Ran to stop Jingzhao Yin, as the people had heard it all.

It was like a huge rock suddenly crashing into the water that had just calmed down, and huge waves surged up in an instant.

The people were furious. They were about to break through the guards, shouting, "Kill the evil woman who disrupted the peace talks! Kill her!"

Jingzhao Yin's face turned pale immediately. He didn't expect to cause such a big mess.

He looked at Lin Ran anxiously: "Master Lin, what should we do? You must think of a solution quickly!"

Lin Ran glared at him. "Who told you to be so quick-witted? Don't you know how much trouble it will cause if you reveal his identity at this time?"

Jingzhao Yin said with a guilty conscience: "I just did it subconsciously, I didn't do it on purpose!"

Lin Ran looked anxious. It was too late to say anything now. He had to suppress the public anger as soon as possible.

At that moment, a white-haired old woman suddenly broke through the barrier and ran in. She knelt before Lin Ran and begged, "Master Lin, I beg you to kill this evil woman immediately and give Li Kingdom an explanation. She has disrupted the peace talks, and my son, who has been stationed on the border for ten years, will never be able to return to me!"

Lin Ran certainly understood what a successful peace talk meant. If border fighting decreased, soldiers stationed for a long time could return to the capital to visit their families.

If the Li Kingdom changes its mind because of Wu Ninglei's death, the border situation will inevitably become critical again. Those soldiers who were originally going to return to the capital will have to return to the border and station there again!

Hope was given and then suddenly extinguished, causing the people who were looking forward to their sons returning home to all have emotional breakdowns.

The wave after wave of shouts was so deafening that even Lin Ran felt a chill on his back.

Zi'er's face, stained with murderous intent, instantly flashed with determination. She whispered, "Madam, I absolutely cannot let you get involved. I am willing to sacrifice my own life to put an end to this turmoil!"

Lin Yiwan suddenly gripped her shoulders tightly, her bright eyes filled with a soothing calmness and composure.

She said in a deep voice: "Zi'er, since I have already promised to protect you, do you not trust me?"

Zi'er shook her head in panic: "No, I dare not. I just don't want to embarrass Madam, and I don't want Madam to be pushed to the forefront!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but lower her eyes and chuckle, "Silly boy, I've been pushed to the forefront countless times, and I've always gotten through it safely. I know what their plan is, but they really have wild dreams in wanting to throw our Zhan Yihou Mansion into the mud so we can never get out again!"

Zi'er looked at her in a daze: "Madam, what are you going to do?"

Lin Yiwan said, "Do nothing and wait for others to do it!"

Zi'er raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Others?"

Lin Yiwan didn't say anything. She turned around and saw that more and more people were gathering here.

Jingzhao Yin stepped forward to persuade the old woman: "This matter still needs to be verified. You should withdraw first. The peace talks between the two countries will not be so easily disrupted. The court will give everyone an explanation!"

The old woman persisted, "What explanation? Does the King of Li not care about the death of his own son? This is his only heir. Or, because of the high status of master and servant, are you unwilling to deal with them? Will you allow them to sabotage the peace talks, leaving us poor people in the misery of mother and child separation and family reunion?"

Jingzhao Yin had a bitter face and could not answer, so he could only look at Lin Ran who was standing next to him for help.

He said in a deep voice, "The Dali Temple judges cases impartially and will never shield any guilty person, but it will also never wrongly accuse any innocent person. The cause of the little prince's death still needs to be examined. Please be patient and give us some time!"

The old woman argued, "We gave you time, but who gave us time? The army is already on its way back to the capital. If word of this gets out, they'll definitely never return. How can you verify it? Didn't the little prince die at the hands of that woman? We all saw it clearly with our own eyes!"

Lin Ran interrupted without hesitation: "It's true that he died at her hands, but she may not have killed him. I just did a preliminary autopsy. The little prince was bleeding from all seven orifices. He died of poisoning!"

The old woman was stunned. "Poisoned? But he was fine when he walked up to that maid. She must have poisoned the little prince. She is the murderer!"

Seeing that she was about to start a quarrel again, Lin Ran immediately interrupted: "I guarantee with this head on my neck that I will give you an explanation as soon as possible. Please stop pestering me, otherwise I will arrest you all and take you back to the Dali Temple for disturbing the investigation!"

His voice was so loud that the old woman staggered.

She gritted her teeth and finally stopped making a fuss.

She said unwillingly: "No matter what, you must investigate this matter right under our noses and must not take the body away. Otherwise, you will be suspected of harboring a criminal!"

Lin Ran didn't expect to be able to take the body away. There were too many people and there was no way to carry it out.

He ignored the old woman and looked at Lin Yiwan: "Wanwan, come here and help your uncle look at the body!"

Lin Yiwan had long wanted to go closer to check out the body, and now when she heard her uncle calling her, she immediately walked over quickly.

Now her body was completely unable to squat, so she could only half-bend over to look carefully.

After a moment, she whispered, "Uncle, you are right, he did die of poisoning. However, we still need to open his stomach and perform an autopsy to find out what the poison was!"

Lin Ran immediately frowned. If he cut open the stomach in public, he was afraid that it would arouse the anger of the people.

But there was no way to take the body away, which put us in a dilemma.

It only took a moment of hesitation for him to make the decision.

He quickly said, "I'll perform the autopsy on Wu Ninglei myself. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up a sharp dagger and intended to slash Wu Ninglei's stomach.

In just a moment, the beggars closest to the scene cried out loudly, "Oh my God! What are you doing? Not only did you kill the little prince, you are actually destroying his body? Why would you do this? This is an evil act that is beyond the reach of Heaven!"

Everyone started shouting, "This is unforgivable, this is unforgivable!"

The angry people rushed forward again, almost breaking down the human wall formed by the officers and soldiers.

Jingzhao Yin immediately broke out in a sweat. He asked in a trembling voice, "Master Lin, is an autopsy absolutely necessary? The people's anger will be unstoppable!"
