"Everyone, hurry and go see! Today, the Prince of Xiliang is holding a public trial for the King of the Jushi Kingdom in the eastern suburbs. You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't go!"
"Why did the Jushi Kingdom become so ruthless? Was it due to the distortion of human nature or driven by self-interest? The truth will be revealed today."
"Is it really that amazing? Let's go check it out together."
"It is said that this matter involves many people, and some have even slandered the current emperor. Therefore, the Prince of Xiliang decided to hold a public trial to give the emperor justice."
"Holy crap, is this for real?"
"How could it be fake? Look at this Northern Daily! It contains an article personally written by the most beautiful and talented woman in Xiliang. How could it be fake!"
A group of commoners roared away, leaving Li Siyuan and the others completely bewildered. What was going on? Ningchuan Commandery had mobilized its entire population!
[Public trial of the King of the Jushi Kingdom!]
[It even involves the current emperor!]
Li Siyuan's eyes kept shifting. What was going on with these people? Did everyone in Xiliang play this sophisticated game?
"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale!"
Just then, a newsboy walked past them, carrying a large stack of newspapers on his back.
Li Siyuan immediately remembered the newspapers the people had mentioned earlier, so he bought several copies and examined them carefully.
After reading the headline above, the group couldn't help but gasp in shock. Wow, Xiliang is really going all out!
[The trade routes to the Western Regions suffered a terrible blow, with heavy casualties among merchants from the north of Great Ning. The culprit, the Jushi Kingdom, was captured and brought to justice by the Prince of Xiliang.]
[The other party claimed to be acting under the orders of the Emperor of Great Ning and refused to admit their mistakes. Therefore, the Prince of Xiliang decided to hold a public trial for the kings of Jushi and Shachi to clear the Emperor's name.]
Holy crap!
One of Li Siyuan's henchmen couldn't help but widen his eyes, and immediately cursed, exclaiming in horror, " Xiliang is too ruthless! They directly destroyed two countries to avenge their people, and now they want to hold a public trial?"
He was the scion of a powerful family and was already quite arrogant in Shu Region, but he never expected that he was nothing compared to Lin Yi.
This is directly attacking the king of a country, and even involving the emperor; it's simply outrageous.
"Alas, the Xiliang is truly a place of misery!"
Li Siyuan's expression was solemn. He was no fool. This newspaper, on the surface, was supposed to clear the Emperor's name, but in reality, it clearly had ulterior motives.
If he were truly innocent, why hold a public trial? Lin Yi has ulterior motives.
"Young Master, shall we go and take a look?" a young man from a prominent family asked, somewhat eager to try.
"You can't go!"
Li Siyuan shook his head firmly, rejecting the suggestion, and said in a deep voice, "This matter has nothing to do with us, don't get involved."
We can rest at the restaurant for a bit; we still need to head to Xiliang Commandery later!
As a member of the royal family, he knew that there were some things he should avoid getting involved in, otherwise, he would inevitably run into big trouble.
Without waiting for everyone's agreement, he led a group of people towards the restaurant. It was best to go there for a while and not get involved in the mess.
No one dared to refute him, since those he brought were all people who had submitted to the Prince of Shu; the truly powerful families had already come on their own.
As they surveyed the architecture of Xiliang, they were awestruck and exclaimed in disbelief, especially at the towering city walls, which seemed almost divine.
But then a problem arose: there were only a handful of people along the way, and even the restaurants had closed their doors to watch the public trial, leaving Li Siyuan both amused and exasperated.
I can't even eat!
"It seems we have no choice but to go now, there's nobody left in Xiliang!" A merchant from Shu Region was speechless; apart from a few guards, there wasn't a soul in sight.
"Your Highness, let's go take a look. We're just guests anyway, it's none of our business."
"Yeah yeah!"
Why!
Li Siyuan sighed and said with a wry smile, "Then let's go take a look. Anyway, they'll hold a public trial even if we don't go." Although he didn't want to cause trouble, trouble was coming his way.
Eastern Suburbs!
This was a huge flat area, often used for inspecting soldiers, but now it had become the place for a public trial.
Except for a high point in the middle used to house prisoners, the rest of the enemy was surrounded by the crowd.
The fact that Li Siyuan and his group received the case did not cause the slightest disturbance. Those around them only glanced at it before watching the trial with great interest, as it was the first time they had ever seen a king being tried.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the prisoners, and they couldn't help but scrutinize them, wondering to themselves if they were imposters.
As the attendant of the Prince of Shu, Hu Lai whispered, "Your Highness, this really is the King of the Jushi Kingdom! I visited Xining Commandery Xining Commandery with the Prince before, and this guy was a guest there!"
Good heavens!
Li Siyuan's heart pounded wildly. This Prince of Xiliang was truly audacious, directly targeting the kings of two kingdoms. This was something no ordinary person could do.
At this moment, he gained a clearer understanding of the strength of Xiliang.
His teacher taught him: to judge a person's strength, do not look at how big their territory is, but at who their enemies are.
Lin Yi's opponents have now risen to the level of nations, entities that are beyond his comprehension. In other words, Lin Yi's strength has surpassed that of all his peers!
"Your Highness, look over there!" a voice whispered in his ear.
Li Siyuan frowned slightly, followed his younger brother's hand and looked over. His pupils shrank, and he saw that it was actually the Third Prince Li Yunmiao and the Prince of Min, Li Yifeng. He had actually run into them here.
He couldn't help but mutter, "The Third Prince is quite remarkable; he actually dared to come to Xiliang. He's truly a man of courage!"
The relationship between Xiliang and Great Ning is strange. The killing of the former prime minister Ran Zijin caused a great shock. Now the third prince dares to come to Xiliang. He is quite bold.
As if sensing each other by bloodline, Li Yunmiao also looked over, their eyes met, and they nodded to each other.
Forehead!
Seeing the admiration on the other person's face, Li Yunmiao couldn't help but twitch her lips. Who would want to come here?
Seeing that he had been spotted, Li Siyuan could only grit his teeth and walk towards Li Yunmiao, bowing and saying, " Li Siyuan greets Your Highness the Third Prince!"
"Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities. We're all family," Li Yunmiao said with a smile.
Li Yifeng couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Siyuan, you're the last one here this time. You'll have to drink a penalty cup later!"
Li Siyuan smiled and nodded. He and Li Yifeng naturally knew each other; they had even played together when they were children. Of course, they would have a drink together.
He glanced at the scene and whispered, "Third Prince, the Emperor is involved. Isn't this public trial in Xiliang somewhat inappropriate?"
"Snort!"
Li Yunmiao was furious when this matter was mentioned. He sneered, "I also went to the Prince of Xiliang, but they said that Lin Yi had already arrived in Xiliang Commandery, so the public trial could not be stopped!"
They also said that they held a public trial to clear their father's name and explain the words of the King of the Jushi Kingdom yesterday.
