The cunning man didn't dare to look at Lin Chengyu and the others' expressions, and knocked his head to the ground with a bang. "Your Majesty, please understand. Your Majesty, please understand. He slandered me for being cunning and cunning today, and now he is talking nonsense. You can't believe his words."

Lin Chengyu asked, "You mean, he is framing me?"

The cunning man nodded repeatedly.

"My Lord is wise."

He looked at the honest man with a face full of resentment, his tone was sad and angry, without any trace of his previous arrogance.

"Because he slandered me today, I was so angry that I beat him up."

"I dare not say that I have done nothing wrong, but this is because he made the mistake first. I was just impulsive at the moment, so please forgive me."

"So that's how it is." Lin Chengyu thought for a moment and looked at the honest man again, "Do you have anything to say?"

The honest man felt that the time had come for him to redress his grievances, and was about to speak, but was beaten to the punch by the cunning man.

"My Lord, he looks honest, but he is just pretending. In fact, he is the most cunning. Whenever he does not want to do a job, he always says that it is thrown to him by others. It is really hateful."

As he said this, he wiped away his non-existent tears in a serious manner, "I have a bad face, so he always frames me. No matter how I defend myself, outsiders only believe him because he looks honest."

He said angrily, "My Lord, I am so miserable. My appearance was given to me by my parents, and I have no choice. But he always bullies me because of this. I am so angry that I did what happened today."

Lin Chengyu looked at him calmly, with an indescribable feeling in her expression, but it made people dare not be presumptuous, "Did I ask you?"

"I..." The cunning man opened his mouth, but when he saw the expressions of Lin Chengyu and the others, his heart suddenly trembled and he quickly lowered his head.

The honest man glared at him angrily, then said, "Every word I said is true, and I dare not deceive the prince or the marquis."

After saying this, he lowered his head and said no more.

Lin Chengyu said: "......Gone?"

The honest man nodded seriously, "No more."

Lin Chengyu was speechless. This man looked honest and his words were as honest as his face. Didn’t he hear that the people around him were almost describing him as an unforgivable villain?

"You two each have your own opinions. How can I tell the difference?" He pretended to be distressed, waiting for the honest man to say something else.

But the honest man's mouth seemed to be glued shut, and not even a fart could be heard.

Only the cunning man kept talking.

Lin Chengyu was tired of listening and waved his hand, saying, "Since you can't explain it clearly, let's just leave it at that."

The honest man watched the two men walk away in disbelief, all he could hear was the smug shouting of the cunning man.

"Hahaha, if I say you are a pig, you really are a pig. You can't even speak a word, and you dare to say something to complain. It's really hilarious."

"I will avoid you next time I see you, otherwise I won't let you go."

After everyone left, the honest man knelt dejectedly, wondering why Lin Chengyu and the other man did not severely punish the evil people who bullied him.

Was it because he wasn't sincere enough?

He didn't understand.

After Lin Chengyu and Xuan Zheng returned, Xuan Zheng said, "I thought you would stand up for him just now."

"I'm not his father, why should I intervene?" Lin Chengyu pulled down the blanket that Xuan Zheng had just pulled up. "He's not doing his best and can't even speak clearly. What can I do?"

If that honest man could argue with reason, Lin Chengyu would be able to help him, but he was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, making it impossible for people to muster the energy to help him.

The two did not continue talking about this matter. The candlelight in the bedroom was dim and very quiet.

Xuan Zheng talked about another thing.

"Today, a pigeon was sent from Chengzhou. The governor mentioned that a person with supernatural powers appeared in Chengzhou. He was very powerful and gathered people to attack the government office and proclaimed himself king."

"That man is violent and cruel. He tortured the others and made them miserable. But they could do nothing about him. The governor wanted to send someone from the capital to save the people from the disaster."

The governor of Chengzhou was a good official who loved his people like his own children. After surviving the zombies, he contacted the capital several times via carrier pigeons.

After learning from the experience in Beijing, a safe zone was established in Chengzhou to take in many survivors.

Lin Chengyu asked, "Does your brother want us to go there?"

"Yeah." The two leaned their heads against each other, their breaths blending together. Xuan Zheng said again: "The situation in Chengzhou is serious. Ordinary people have no food to eat. Many people have starved to death."

Lin Chengyu thought for a moment and said, "The sooner the better. Let's set off tomorrow and head to Chengzhou."

The next morning, Lin Chengyu went to find Jia Min and others and told them about this matter.

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu first scolded the supernatural person in Chengzhou, and finally said firmly: "I will go with you."

Jia Xichun also said, "I'll go too."

Lin Chengyu shook his head and said, "You guys stay here, Xuan Zheng Fourteen and I can go, it would be bad if we have too many people."

Lin Daiyu frowned slightly.

Lin Chengyu knew she had misunderstood and added, "The capital still needs people with special abilities to take charge."

Women hold up half the sky, and he has never looked down on women.

After these words came out, Lin Daiyu's expression eased a little, "But if you three go, can you handle it?"

Lin Chengyu said: "It's okay. It's easier to move with fewer people. If there are too many people, the target will be bigger and we might alert the enemy."

The others also looked worried. They didn't know how many dangers there would be on the way to Chengzhou. How could they not be worried?

Among so many people, only Jia Zheng is different.

Unlike the worries of others, his face was full of "it should be so" at this moment.

"Chengyu, although this journey is dangerous, you must still overcome all difficulties and save the people from danger." Jia Zheng preached wherever he went, and even at this moment, he could not hold back, "I eat the salary of the emperor, and I share the worries of the emperor. Even if I die, I cannot retreat."

Jia Min's face was extremely ugly, and she said her dissatisfaction immediately, "If you can't speak, please shut up and stop saying these unlucky words."

As a mother, Jia Min was already worried about her son going deep into danger, and Jia Zheng kept saying something about whether his son would die or not. How could Jia Min not be angry and upset?

Jia Zheng's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, but at this moment, Jia Min's thoughts were everyone else's thoughts, and no one spoke for him.

Grandmother Jia couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Her son was really too pedantic. He was already here, but he was still saying these things.

Jia Zheng was no longer the master of Rongguo Mansion who had the final say. Seeing that everyone was disapproving, he immediately looked embarrassed and whispered, "Women's kindness."

Lin Chengyu and other two's journey to Chengzhou began here.
