The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

The people were suddenly enlightened and realized that they had been deceived for many years and had been played like monkeys by Qu Zhengyan.

The great anger and humiliation made the people furious, like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted. They were all furious and cursed at Qu Zhengyan with bared teeth and claws.

"You're a damn devil! You cheated on our feelings, pretended to be pitiful and swindled us out of so much money. You deserve to die!"

"None of the things you sell in your store are good! But we feel sorry for you for losing your wife and children, and we remember all the good things you have done, so we are willing to support you regardless of whether the things are good or bad, but it turns out that you have been using us all along!"

"Qu Zhengyan, you are a beast in human form, you have made us ordinary people suffer so much. If you are such a good actor, why don't you become an actor?"

"He killed his wife and children, and used people's sympathy to make a fortune. This is an unforgivable crime that cannot be forgiven by the law. We ask the prince to execute him by slow slicing!"

"Lingchi! Kill him!"

The people's anger was completely ignited, and waves of insults and life-threatening petitions rose and fell like thunder, echoing in the court for a long time.

Qu Zhengyan's face was pale as death, and his heart sank into the abyss.

He didn't expect that Lu Xiuyuan also suspected this matter, and made the prefect give him up with just a few words.

This... what should I do?

Xia Younan was so happy when she saw this scene, and asked Lu Xiuyuan in surprise: "Husband, did you know that his donation was fake?"

Lu Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Well, it's just that the prefect is stupid and exaggerated Qu Zhengyan. He even said that the construction of the entire Liuyue City was all paid for by him. How is this possible?"

Xia Younan chuckled and joked, "It's what they deserve. Let them go crazy."

"Your Highness, your humble servant..." After the prefect finished explaining the situation, he looked at Lu Xiuyuan fearfully, fearing that he would really chop him to pieces if he was unhappy.

Lu Xiuyuan glared at him unhappily and said, "Finish the case first, and I will investigate your crime later."

"Yes." The prefect hurriedly nodded in agreement, then he stood up weakly with the help of the table and sat back in his official seat.

He slammed the gavel on the table, signaling the people to be quiet, and then pronounced the verdict righteously: "Qu Zhengyan has murdered his wife and children. The evidence is there, and he is guilty. Now I sentence him to death by beheading according to the law. Take him out and execute him immediately!"

"Okay! Kill him!"

"Lingchi execution, this death is too easy for him!" The people were filled with anger, some cheered and some were dissatisfied.

The bailiffs didn't say anything more and several of them stepped forward to arrest Qu Zhengyan.

How could Qu Zhengyan do as he wished? With a fierce look on his face, he slapped out a few times quickly, knocking all the people away.

Under such circumstances, his ugly face was exposed and he laughed wildly.

"Hahaha, you want to arrest me with your own strength? You really don't take me, the leader of the martial arts world, seriously, do you?"

After that, he took out a token from his waist, held it high in front of the crowd, and shouted in a loud voice: "As the leader of the martial arts world, I command the martial artists present here with the leader's order passed down from generation to generation. Kill them and save me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen strong men rushed into the crowd.

They all have muscular bodies and high bulges in their temples, and they are obviously martial arts masters.

At this moment, they were on the verge of a fight with their swords drawn and their faces full of murderous intent, obviously ready to obey Qu Zhengyan's orders.

"Who dares!" Lu Xiuyuan stood up from his chair with a bang, waved his big hand and showed his badge to everyone.

"I am Lu Xiuyuan, the Prince of Yu'nan. I am here to investigate this case under the order of the Emperor. Anyone who dares to help the tyrant today will be tantamount to opposing the imperial court!

"If you dare to offend the court and the emperor, I promise that even if the sky is high and the sea is vast, I will make sure you have nowhere to hide!"

He spoke fiercely and domineeringly, and his terrifying aura made people feel terrified.

As expected, the dozen or so martial artists were shaken. They held their weapons but did not dare to take another step forward.

They knew that what Lu Xiuyuan said was definitely not intended to intimidate them.

To offend the prince and the emperor is equivalent to offending the entire country. How much manpower and power does a country have? It is not something that can be avoided by high martial arts skills.

Seeing that they had listened, Lu Xiuyuan continued, "The martial arts world and the imperial court have always kept to themselves, but Qu Zhengyan violated the law of the country and angered the people. Even though he is the leader of the martial arts world, he should not disregard human nature.

"As members of the martial arts community, it is not wrong for you to obey the orders of the leader of the martial arts community, but what Qu Zhengyan did is not humane. If you continue to be so blindly loyal, not only will you fail to save him, but you will also incur public wrath. Think carefully about the consequences and whether they will be serious or not!"

Hearing this, those people in the martial arts world couldn't help but look at the people around them.

The people were all glaring at them fiercely, their eyes filled with extreme grief, anger and hatred, as if saying: If you dare to save him, we will turn you into rats crossing the street, and make you despised by the whole world!

The dozen or so men felt guilty and even scared.

They knew that if they offended the imperial court they would still have a chance of survival, but if they offended the people they would surely die!

"Alliance leader, I'm sorry!"

Some people could not bear the overwhelming pressure, so they put down their weapons, clasped their fists to Qu Zhengyan, and turned away.

His departure was like a precedent, and the others gave up on him and turned to retreat.

They had no feelings towards Qu Zhengyan in the first place, and they stood out today because of his identity and the alliance leader's order in his hand that could command the heroes.

But the crime he committed was so serious that it aroused public anger, so there was naturally no need for them to sacrifice themselves for him.

“You, you stop!” Seeing this, Qu Zhengyan’s eyes were bloodshot, and he raised the leader’s order and shouted at them excitedly, “How dare you! I have the leader’s order, and I can command all the martial artists in the world. How dare you disobey me!”

The men ignored him, and only the last one left a sentence: "You will suffer for your own mistakes."

"Damn it, come back here!" Qu Zhengyan roared at their backs in despair, his originally pale face turning red with anger.

This was his last hope. He thought that as long as he became the leader and got the leader's order, he could command all the martial artists in the world at will.

He had always regarded this hope as a life-saving gift, but now this hope was shattered too quickly, so quickly that it drove him crazy and desperate.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at him coldly as he jumped around like a clown, and ordered the bailiff again, "Catch him!"

The bailiffs received the order and dragged their injured bodies to capture Qu Zhengyan again.

Qu Zhengyan was completely panicked. He no longer cared about his dignity and decency. He turned around and ran out.

"Want to run?" Lu Xiuyuan and his companions quickly stood up and formed a circle around him.

Lu Xiuyuan and his wife were blocking the door, Qu Xiaoyou and Chan Mu were standing on his left and right respectively, while Zhu Li and Xiong Fei were rubbing their hands and standing behind him.
