Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Chapter 70 A Shocking Injustice Awaits Redress

Although everyone knew they had to go to Beichen Kingdom, the most pressing task at the moment was to cure Mo Chen's poison. So the group discussed that after the fire was extinguished and the dust settled, they would go and ask for the treasures that the various countries had used as stakes, and obtain the Blood Spirit Grass from Beichen Kingdom to cure Mo Chen's illness.

Everything is ready now, except for the Blood Spirit Grass!

The group returned to the royal hunting grounds and immediately found everyone gathered in the square. In the center of the square, several people were being flogged, their blood dripping, yet they did not elicit any sympathy from those around them.

Because tonight, envoys from various countries have suffered heavy losses...

The guards stood by, holding down the people being tortured. Several palace maids and servants, being cruelly interrogated, cried out that they were innocent, each one sobbing uncontrollably. They coughed up blood as they were being flogged, but still did not confess...

Judging from the current situation, the truth about this fire is now being investigated.

Most of the people present did not believe that the person in the sea of ​​fire was the real Fu Zeshan.

The saying goes that the dead cannot be brought back to life. Since Fu Zeshan has already passed away, it is impossible for him to suddenly come back to life.

This could only be a setup.

However, Fu Xiyang, who had become obsessed, cried and knelt down, begging the emperor to give him justice.

He spoke at the top of his lungs to the palace maids and servants who were being flogged:

“Today you were the ones guarding the hunting grounds, and now so much of the prey has been burned to ashes. Even my child is trapped in the fire. If you knew nothing about it, then where were you when the fire started?”

Several palace maids had been beaten until their skin was torn and bleeding. They said they had fainted and were unaware of what had happened.

But Fu Xiyang refused to believe her and insisted that they reveal who was behind it all!

"Speak! Who kidnapped my child?! Where did you hide my Zeshan before?!"

"My son is gone, my son is gone..."

Like a vengeful ghost from hell, Fu Xiyang had fallen into a semi-mad state, grabbing his sword and slashing wildly while muttering incessantly:

"Kill him to avenge him, kill him to avenge him."

His colleagues were shocked and bewildered. The Minister of Rites, who used to be so respectful of etiquette, had now fallen into a trance due to the grief of losing his son.

Not long after, Fu Xiyang was so excited that he fainted on the ground...

Looking at the chaotic scene, Lu Wanning burst into tears.

Besides Fu Xiyang, envoys from various countries were also present. Each envoy had obtained a considerable amount of prey during the hunt, which had now all been burned to ashes. Filled with indignation, they joined in the questioning:

"Who exactly ordered this?" "Tell the truth!"

Their eyes were fierce as they stared at the palace maids and eunuchs being punished, their faces contorted with rage.

Ah Kui, the bearded man from the Sirius Kingdom, was furious. He was the tallest and most imposing of the envoys, and his temper was flaring. He slammed his weapon heavily on the ground with a loud "bang," then, his face dark, he demanded in a stern voice:

"I don't care about your schemes and tricks! Who burned my tiger? Find the culprit and I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

Ah Kui of the Sirius Kingdom is incredibly brave. Everyone in the Sirius Kingdom loves martial arts, and everyone knows that Ah Kui is skilled at hunting.

In the past, A-Kui hunted mostly bears and leopards, but this time in Tian Shu Kingdom, he hunted a white tiger that was extremely rare in the world!

And she's a tigress!

They can have babies, and the babies can be raised as pets!

He originally intended to take it back to his country and show it off properly.

But now not only is the white tiger gone, the prey they hunted earlier has been given to his sworn brother.

This time, Ah Kui of the Sirius Kingdom truly came up empty-handed.

His veins bulged, and his fierce expression swept over all the distinguished guests and prominent families present. He declared ruthlessly:

"I, A-Kui, hate people who use despicable means more than anything in my life. If I find out who burned my pet in a fire, I will never forgive them. I will tear them to pieces and make sure they die without a complete corpse!"

The envoy from the grassland tribe who overheard this was also extremely indignant. Food was scarce on the grassland, and every cattle and sheep was extremely precious.

They had already exerted all their strength to hunt several cartloads of prey during their visit to Tian Shu Kingdom, and they had planned to return home with a full load.

Now that everything had been burned to the ground, their anger was no less than that of the bearded man. So they also drew their weapons, unanimously expressing their dissatisfaction to the crowd, and vowing to find the murderer and grind him to dust.

Once someone started it, the remaining envoys also expressed their dissatisfaction. These foreign envoys were not familiar with the fact that Fu Zeshan had died, and they all thought that the person in front of them had been burned alive!

The methods were extremely cruel.

Many people criticized the fire in Tian Shu Kingdom, saying that no matter what the purpose was, the person behind it was too arrogant and did not take the king of Tian Shu Kingdom and the envoys of other countries seriously. Moreover, the defense of Tian Shu Kingdom was really weak, and they were able to set fire to the royal garden.

In an instant, the Tian Shu Kingdom became the target of everyone's criticism!

The envoys wanted to seek justice for the innocent victim, and also demanded an explanation from the ruler of Tian Shu Kingdom.

At this moment, Xuan Yuanming's veins were bulging, and he gritted his teeth as he endured the questioning from the crowd.

He knew that this matter had already displeased the envoys of various countries, and if it was not handled properly, this birthday banquet, which was meant to be a celebration of the world's tribute, would turn into a disaster!

The prominent families of the capital present, hearing that the incident was escalating and that envoys from various countries were being manipulated by treacherous individuals, hurriedly came out to explain.

Lu Wanning's father, Lu Kongqing, the Minister of War, was the first to step forward to face the envoys' barrage of questions. He explained to the envoys from various countries, still shaken:

"Distinguished envoys, please hear what this old minister has to say."

"The young man in the sea of ​​fire was originally one of the four young masters of our capital, Young Master Fu Zeshan, but he is no longer alive." "Everyone in the capital knows this, so the injured man in the sea of ​​fire is not the real Young Master Fu Zeshan."

Since Fu Zeshan was on the list, the other members of the Four Young Masters were naturally very familiar with him.

At this moment, Du Wenzhu, the heir of the Earl and Marquis, also spoke up. He explained to the envoys, "I have also seen Fu Zeshan. The person in the fire, his voice is not Fu Zeshan's."

The eldest princess's son, Jing Dongmu, also came out to explain: "Zeshan is a person who knows martial arts. If he were in a sea of ​​fire, he would not stand there still. He would definitely run away."

Many people in the capital had seen Fu Zeshan before, and they all said to the envoys, "The voice of the person in the sea of ​​fire is not Fu Zeshan's. It must be someone impersonating him."

"After losing his beloved son, Minister of Rites Fu Xiyang has been in a daze. Today, he was so agitated that he didn't recognize the words..."

These were all foreign envoys, who naturally did not know the details beforehand and only thought that someone had set fire to a place and burned a boy to death.

Now, upon hearing the officials in the capital of Tian Shu Kingdom say that the person inside was someone who had already died, the envoys, who were originally filled with indignation, were in an uproar. This dead person had come back to life, and his vengeful spirit was demanding revenge. They were afraid that today's events were not just about burning down the hunting grounds, but that his death must have been due to a great injustice.

Therefore, they had no choice but to use this to stir up public opinion and seek justice!

The envoys on the field exchanged glances and began to clamor to change their tune, saying they wanted to give the boy justice, but in reality, they just wanted to see the Tian Shu Kingdom make a fool of itself.

Hmph! I traveled a long way, crossing mountains and rivers, and now I don't even have any prey that I worked so hard to hunt.

This is all because the Tian Shu Kingdom disregarded human life and let the people die tragically, which is why they were hated and this grand feast was ruined just to seek justice for the young man.

The people suffered heavy losses and were filled with resentment. It was learned that the cause was related to a wrongful conviction.

This will not make things easy for the ruler of Tian Shu Kingdom.

Seeing the situation growing increasingly chaotic, the retired emperor raised his hand, signaling for silence. He solemnly said:

"This matter will be thoroughly investigated and justice will be served for Fu Zeshan. Furthermore, the losses suffered by the envoys of various countries will be compensated double."

The retired emperor made the final decision, stabilizing the situation.

The situation seemed to have calmed down, but Xuanyuan Ming was extremely anxious, his palms sweating slightly. He had been the one who came up with the idea of ​​the universal birthday celebration, but now a thief had dared to act so brazenly, putting him in a difficult position.

Looking at the expressions of the many envoys below, Xuanyuan Ming felt inexplicably irritated.

When Ye Li returned, she saw such a fierce scene, and she didn't know how to ask about the Blood Spirit Grass.

As the ones who won the treasure, it would seem out of place and selfish for her and Mo Chen to be so petty now.

At this moment, Xuan Yuanming, his face grim, turned the topic to Mo Chen, asking with an inscrutable expression:

"What does General Mo Chen think of this chaotic situation?"

Mo Chen was stunned when Xuan Yuanming called his name.

At that moment, the palace maids and servants who had been flogged all died...

Ye Li's heart stopped, and she was extremely anxious.

Xiao Mochen doesn't understand at all, so what could he possibly answer?

She looked at Mo Chen, and cold sweat poured down her back.

Because their special training didn't include memorizing the answer to this question at all.

Mo Chen's memories from when he was seven years old are about to be exposed!
