Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er, then nodded: "Besides, where is this? This is our territory."

"We're reasoning with them now because we want to reason with them. But when the time comes, we can simply stop reasoning altogether... so the initiative is still in our hands..."

"As for public opinion, look at Morgana's mouth. Do you think they can win over public opinion?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er looked surprised, then smiled broadly and said, "That's right, that's exactly it!"

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er, then said, "Just watch. This is what makes a show exciting..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's smiling face, Yin Pan'er couldn't help but say to him, "Your Highness, are you trying to avoid spoilers by not letting Morgana tell you? That way, the show will be more exciting..."

Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled broadly at her and said, "That's right, Pan'er, you're absolutely right. You truly understand me..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't have understood the play at all..."

Seeing Yin Pan'er say this, Xiao Ce smiled and said to her, "Aren't you engrossed in it? Isn't that great?"

Yin Pan'er smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "Not bad!"

At this point, some of the people in the arena, after listening to the old woman's words, began to think that what she said made sense.

However, just as Xiao Ce said, Thomson was not in a hurry at all.

"Okay, so you're still going to play the same old game of denying everything, huh?"

Seeing that this tactic had worked, the old woman continued, "I don't understand what you mean. How can you expect me to admit to something I don't know..."

Upon hearing this, Thomson smiled faintly and said, "Fine, you still won't admit it? Go and bring Gandhi here."

Upon hearing this, Gandhi was brought up.

The old woman was still somewhat stunned when she saw Gandhi approaching.

However, it seems she had already guessed it.

When Gandhi arrived, it drew another wave of condemnation.

Gandhi remained remarkably calm despite hearing these people's condemnations.

After Gandhi stepped forward, Thomson saw the old woman's expression and knew that he wouldn't be intimidated.

However, Thomson didn't care at all; that wasn't his original purpose.

Thomson asked Gandhi, "Gandhi, why don't you introduce yourself?"

Gandhi then stepped forward and said loudly, "Hello everyone, my name is Gandhi, and I'm sure you all know me..."

"The widely circulated rumors about the assassination of General Frank and the bread poisoning case—I was involved in those!"

Gandhi's words immediately caused an uproar among the people present.

Gandhi continued, "However, I was only involved. I was instructed by someone, and that person was Helen. She lived at Ensemble Manor, and there were many assassins hiding there. These were the people."

"Including the bread poisoning, it was also at their behest. They knew I was very skilled at making bread, so they instructed me to put an addictive, slow-acting poison in the bread you were eating..."

Gandhi's words only fueled the jeers.

At this moment, the old woman saw Gandhi pinning one unfounded accusation after another on him, and she stared at Gandhi with wide eyes and an incredulous expression.

She looked at Thomson again, and Thomson saw the old woman looking at him.

The old woman did not look away, but fixed her gaze on Thomson.

Thomson smiled at the old woman, as if to say, "You like to talk nonsense, don't you? Anyone can talk nonsense..."

Gandhi was not alarmed when he heard the shouting.

He stated directly, "However, I didn't do that. After arriving in Lingas City, I experienced firsthand the freedom, fairness, justice, and equality of all people there—these aren't just empty words..."

"My conscience wouldn't allow it, so I never added the poison they gave me to my bread. The reason people think my bread tastes good is because my method is completely different, it's a bestseller, and it's not easy for people to buy it... So people eat less and always feel like they want more, but the truth is, the bread inside is absolutely safe..."

"Everyone should have checked everything; there's nothing wrong. But the person who orchestrated this is Helen, and her leader. He was the one who assassinated General Frank..."

...

Gandhi was throwing out one turd after another, regardless of whether they existed or not, and he just dumped them on them one by one.

To be honest, I do have some doubts about that soldier from before.

However, Gandhi is someone you all know, and everyone knows what Gandhi did.

Faced with accusations against Gandhi, the old woman's principles remained the same as before.

Thomson said to the old woman, "Are you still going to say you don't know him and that he's slandering you...?"

The old woman said to Thomson, "Yes, Thomson. I don't know him. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't even know his name was Gandhi..."

"As for his accusations against me, they are completely fabricated. Moreover, when I was at the police station, I witnessed you torturing him... You clearly used torture to extract a confession... I know nothing about these things, and I don't know him at all..."

Upon hearing the old woman's words, Thomson's lips curled into a slight smile, and he said, "Is that all you know? Let me tell you, if that's all you're capable of, you'd better shut up..."

After hearing Thomson's words, the old woman smiled and said, "Fine, I don't care if you want to slander me. But the people here are all good; these people are robbers, they were pirates to begin with, and they'll never change their pirate ways..."

Gandhi said to the old woman, "Helen, you still won't admit it, will you?"

The old woman gave a sinister smile, then asked Gandhi, "Helen? Whose Helen are you talking about? My name isn't Helen at all. Tell me, were you tortured into agreeing to this?"

After hearing the old woman's words, Gandhi said, "Fine, you still won't admit it? I was indeed tortured into confessing, but before that, I didn't say anything, let alone implicate you. No matter what suffering I endured, I didn't say a word! But you people went back on your word, promising to save me. But you completely treated me like a pawn to be discarded. You are heartless, so don't blame me for being unjust!"

The old woman said to Gandhi, "What are you saying? I don't understand."

After hearing the old woman's words, Gandhi's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "Don't understand? Still trying to act like a scoundrel... Fine, I'll let you continue acting like a scoundrel."

Gandhi then said to Thomson, "Lord Thomson, it's alright if he doesn't admit it... I have irrefutable evidence!"

Thomson had actually already spoken to Gandhi about this.

However, since this was all being performed, Thomas said to Gandhi, "Oh? Ironclad evidence? What ironclad evidence?"

Thomson said to Gandhi, "They all have a mark on them, a mark unique to terrorists..."

After Gandhi said this, Thomson went directly to those assassins, who did indeed have the mark on their bodies.

Thomson then addressed the crowd outside, saying, "These marks are exactly the same as those on the several stubborn assassins captured at Enns Manor..."

Upon hearing Thomson's words, the old woman said, "Impossible, it wasn't there before..."

The assassins, now mimicking the old woman's words, shouted, "These patterns were added to us after they captured us... We're innocent..."

After one assassin spoke, the others chimed in.

"We are innocent! We need justice... We are innocent! We need justice..."

The assassins began to shout.

"Kill us if you want, rob us if you want... But you cannot frame us... We need light! We need justice!"

Once one person started speaking, the others chimed in.

Thomson didn't rush to speak.

At this moment, some people in the stands saw this scene and began to be incited.

Some people have begun to question it.

Once there's a leader, others will join in.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the people, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Your Highness, you're right, these people are very easily swayed..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, these people actually believe this? It really seems a bit strange. Are these people stupid, or has this area been thoroughly infiltrated..."

Xiao Ce smiled slightly at Yin Pan'er, then said, "Pan'er, didn't you say this matter is a bit strange..."

Yin Pan'er saw a meaningful smile on Xiao Ce's face, and then she suddenly realized what was going on.

Then he turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Your Highness, do you mean those troublemakers are planted?"

Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce laughed heartily and then said to her, "Not bad, not bad, clever! Clever!"

Yin Pan'er suddenly understood when she saw Xiao Ce's way of confirming it.

In fact, Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er's guesses were correct. Their public trial was intended to eliminate all the spies hiding in Lingas City in one fell swoop.

After all, Morgana and Luna had communicated, including Luna and Gandhi...

They didn't know each other, so they didn't know exactly how many people were hiding there.

So they decided to use their own methods to solve those problems.

Xiao Ce followed Morgana's description of the execution method, which gave Morgana an opportunity.

Only in chaos can there be opportunity, and all sorts of monsters and demons will show their strength.

Only in the midst of chaos will those who remain hidden reveal their true colors.

Especially after Xiao Ce told Morgana, Morgana also felt that ever since Xiao Ce came over.

She did indeed follow Xiao Ce in doing this, and everything Xiao Ce did was based on his ideas; she simply became an executor.

Rather than a leader, Xiao Ce's words served as a wake-up call for him.

After enlightening Morgana, Morgana planned this.

He wanted to throw Lingas into chaos, to see just how chaotic Lingas could become under his rule.

So, initially, his followers stirred up trouble, and as more and more people joined in, the movement grew.

Some people who originally wanted to take action but hadn't yet joined in.

They not only joined in, but they also started shouting spontaneously.

Meanwhile, countless eyes in the shadows began to record these people in their notebooks.

As the commotion inside grew louder, Thomson continued, "Very well, since you're resorting to such underhanded tactics, we have evidence!"

Thomson ignored the commotion and continued speaking.

After he saw that everyone had calmed down enough and the atmosphere was just right, he started to speak.

Then a butler from the Luce Manor was brought up.

This isn't fake.

As the butler came up, the old woman's eyes showed a look of doubt and confusion.

It's obvious they didn't recognize who this person was...

Thomson asked calmly, "Sir, what's your name? Who are you?"

After the butler came up, he said resentfully, "Lord Thomson, my name is Luce Keitel. I am the butler of Luce Manor. I believe that both the newcomers to Luce Manor and the old residents of Lingas City know me."

"I run the Luce Manor outside the city. Normally, I only entertain guests who come to greet Lady Villago. That day, when you forcibly broke into the Luce Manor, I was in the wine cellar taking inventory, which is why I escaped. I saw you demons slaughtering our manor staff and members of Lady Villago's family..."

The butler, Ruth, vividly recounted the horrific events of that night.

Actually, people didn't quite trust Gandhi's words back then.

But at this moment, Luce Keitel is actually very famous in Lingas City. Although he is a butler, he is quite good at dealing with people.

Therefore, his words are still very useful.

"You're talking nonsense, I don't know you... You must be one of those they hired... people they hired to seize our property... I don't know you... You're just slandering me..."
