Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Xie Shang rushed to Baihua Lake and saw a huge crowd of people, shoulder to shoulder. He asked, "Why are there so many people gathered here?"

Lin Feng explained, "Today is the annual flower viewing event held at Baihua Lake, so there are so many people."

He already knew what happened in Baihua Lake. The cause was the turmoil caused by the disappearance of a young girl three years ago. Someone spread the news in Baihua Lake that the Minister of Justice Yang Jing was the murderer, and even drew a picture of Yang Jing killing the girl. The picture was vivid, infuriating, and beyond description.

The news of the Minister of Justice's murder had been out for a long time. Now that they knew he had done so many unscrupulous things, everyone cursed him and said he deserved it, because they knew that Yang Jing raped and killed more than a hundred decent women, and they felt relieved that Yang Jing died.

Who was so righteous? The government not only did not reward him, but also posted notices to catch the murderer, so everyone started to make a fuss.

Seeing how noisy the scene was, Xie Shang ordered in a deep voice, "Ask the Five Cities Military Department to send someone to maintain order."

Officials immediately rushed to the scene. Yang Zheng, the commander of the Five Cities Army, rushed to Xie Shang and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Heng..."

Xie Shang glanced at him coldly, "I am now the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture."

Yang Zheng was stunned and said quickly, "Your humble servant pays respect to the prefect."

Xie Shang was cold and majestic, and he would not tolerate any arguments. "Evacuate the people immediately."

Yang Zhengdao said, "No, today is the flower viewing meeting. The people will not leave before the meeting starts. The murder of Minister Yang has caused such a big commotion. Everyone wants to seek justice for the deceased, and the people will not leave."

Xie Shang was tall and handsome, with an awe-inspiring demeanor. Even under his intimidation, the people could not be dispersed. It would be difficult to give an explanation to the people if the Yang family was not dealt with at this time.

At this time, someone shouted, "Someone jumped into the river."

People standing around watched a woman jump down.

Xie Shang looked in the direction of the voice and said, "Lin Feng, hurry up and save him."

At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to Xie Shang and others.

Someone said, "That man is His Royal Highness Prince Heng. He is now the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. Minister Yang has killed so many girls. Let's go and ask His Royal Highness Prince Heng to make a decision and seek justice for the dead girls. We can't let Yang Jing die so happily."

"Let's go and ask His Royal Highness Prince Heng for an explanation."

"Yes, we need an explanation. We are also citizens of the Great Zhou. Yang Jing is a high-ranking official of the Great Zhou. Now the high-ranking official has killed our citizens. Why should we, the common people, deserve to die? These girls died so miserably. Do we deserve it? Should the government just ignore it and allow officials to bully the common people? Let's ask His Royal Highness Prince Heng for an explanation..."

Yang Zheng shouted, "Everyone be quiet..."

Before he could finish his words, someone else said, "This case broke out three years ago, and now we know that the murderer is the Minister of Justice. These girls were also abused so badly by him. Killing him ten thousand times would not be enough to quell the public anger."

"Perhaps they already knew that Yang Shangshu was the murderer and the mastermind. Why didn't they arrest him earlier and let him continue to harm so many girls? Because Yang Jing is a high-ranking official, they are officials against each other."

At this time, Lin Feng had rescued the woman who had jumped into the water and brought her to him.

The woman was crying miserably, "My little Wu, you died so tragically, I will go to accompany you now...Why don't you let me die, I want to find my daughter, please let me go."

Xie Shang frowned, the scene was almost in chaos, the current situation was very unstable, someone had to take a stand, otherwise the people would not believe the government at all, and the emperor had to be informed of this matter as soon as possible.

He suddenly leaped up and stood on the arch bridge of Baihua Lake. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please be patient. I am Xie Shang, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. Today, I am willing to take the lead in signing a petition of 10,000 people to submit to the emperor. I will ask for justice from the Yang family for everyone and the dead woman, and I will expose Yang Jing's evil deeds to the public."

He was dressed in a purple official uniform, looking majestic, dignified, and with a firm gaze. Soon, someone came forward, pulling a ten-foot-long white cloth.

The white cloth extended from one end of the arch bridge, fully surrounding half of Baihua Lake.

Xie Shang took a dagger, cut his finger, and wrote the two words "Xie Shang" in a flamboyant manner, indicating that he would definitely ask for an explanation for the people today.

Everyone was stunned and found it unbelievable. Everyone fell silent instantly. His Royal Highness Prince Heng took the lead in signing. Would he really seek justice for the dead?

Everyone was skeptical and couldn't believe what King Heng did.

At this time, a veiled woman walked out from the crowd. She walked to the white cloth, ready to bite her finger like Xie Shang did, but she still felt pain. She frowned, and immediately a maid handed her a brush. She was writing the three big words "Jiang Fenghua" on the other side of the white cloth.

Although the woman's appearance could not be seen clearly, she had a graceful figure and extraordinary temperament. The words she wrote were majestic and drew countless people's praise.

Jiang Fenghua wrote his name without stopping for long, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

With her leadership, people around her also stepped forward to ask for justice for the dead girl.

I saw more and more names appearing on the white cloth. People from all walks of life came to Baihua Lake to participate in the flower-viewing festival today. Even soldiers came forward and wrote their own names, hoping to seek an explanation for the dead girl.

Because they were far away and there were crowds of people everywhere, Xie Shang didn't know that Jiang Fenghua came to sign. He only saw a graceful woman gradually disappearing in the crowd, and more and more people were signing there, almost a hundred people responding to the call.

Jiang Fenghua walked out of the crowd and went up to the tallest restaurant in Shengjing City - Xiangya Garden.

As soon as she entered the exquisite and luxurious box, a beautiful woman walked towards her.

As soon as Jiang Fenghua sat on the couch and took off her veil, revealing her delicate face, the woman immediately handed her a cup of tea, "Do you really not like him?"

Jiang Fenghua stared at Lin Yu's charming red lips and her heavily made-up face, avoiding her topic, "Next time I see you, can you please not paint your lips so red, like a vampire."

"You really don't like him?" Lin Yu asked again with her red lips split.

Jiang Fenghua thought she was too boring and said lightly, "I don't like it."

"If you don't like him, why do you help him so much?" Lin Yu was speechless.

Jiang Fenghua walked to the window alone and murmured, "Xie Shang on the Baihua Bridge was in high spirits, with an outstanding figure and extraordinary handsomeness. I should have fallen in love with such a man at first sight, but liking him is too hard and too extravagant."
