Chi Hou did not understand, but very quickly, his eyes widened. Because, on the other side of the street, there were eight figures sprinting towards Fang Zhengzhi and the rest.
"Southern Region messengers?!" Chi Hou quickly determined the identity of these people. Just as he was about to attack, he saw another figure behind the eight Southern Region messengers.
In terms of speed …
This figure was as fast as Xing Yuanguo and himself.
However, his red robes were exceptionally eye-catching. It was impossible to ignore his identity. He was the Left Prime Minister, Yu Yiping.
"What's going on?" Chi Hou looked at the anxious Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping. It was impossible for him not to be a little surprised.
Even though he was not an official in the capital, he knew this Left Prime Minister very well. Since when did Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping become so anxious?
However, this was not the end. Just as Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping appeared, two more figures appeared in his field of vision.
The Left Assistant Minister of Law and the Central Assistant Minister of Law.
Other than that, there were also black robed constables surrounding them. There was also King Duan riding on his warhorse and wielding his sword. There were also city guards charging towards them with their spears raised.
This was an unbelievable scene.
This was the Flame Capital City.
Chi Hou was extremely confused and shocked. He knew that the capital was not peaceful tonight, but he did not expect it to be this' chaotic '.
Chi Hou turned to look at Xing Yuanguo.
Xing Yuanguo's expression was calm. He looked at the figures as if he was a bystander.
"Big Brother Yuanguo, should we …" Chi Hou still hadn't figured out what was happening in front of him, so he naturally spoke up to probe.
"No need, let's just watch from here." Xing Yuanguo shook his head. Then, he found a spot about 200 meters away from Fang Zhengzhi and stopped.
"Here?" Chi Hou looked at the tree in front of him. He wanted to say something, but he nodded in the end, "Okay, I will listen to you."
At that moment, the eight Southern Region messengers finally bypassed Fang Zhengzhi and disappeared into a dark alleyway.
Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping and the two assistant ministers panicked when they saw this. Just as they were about to enter the alley, they saw Fang Zhengzhi, Yan Xiu, and Ping Yang standing in the middle of the street.
Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have seen Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping too. His eyes glimmered as he smirked.
"Prime Minister, why are you in such a hurry … where are you going?" Fang Zhengzhi did not wait for Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping to speak. He waved and greeted him.
"Move aside, I have official business to attend to!" Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping had no intention of wasting time with Fang Zhengzhi.
"Official business? Are you here to arrest those criminals who just escaped from the Ministry of Justice's prison? " Fang Zhengzhi did not mind Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping's attitude. He pointed to the alley and continued.
"So what if I am?" Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping had no intention of stopping.
When the two assistant ministers and the countless constables in black saw Fang Zhengzhi, their hearts skipped a beat. They raised their swords one by one.
They were ready to strike at any moment.
"Move aside!"
"Obstructing the Ministry of Justice, do you know your crime?"
The two black-clothed constables who were following closely behind the two assistant ministers quickly spoke up.
"Scram! What are you shouting for in front of this princess?" Ping Yang opened her mouth at this moment. She raised her head slightly and gave off an air of arrogance.
"…" The two constables in black immediately retracted their heads and did not dare to say another word. They even purposely hid their faces behind the two assistant ministers.
It was obvious...
They were afraid that Ping Yang would take revenge.
"Fang Zhengzhi, I am here to arrest criminals. If you insist on stopping me, don't blame me for not showing mercy!" Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping's hands glowed. He knew how domineering Ping Yang was, but he could not care less.
"Prime Minister, have you made a mistake? I am Fang Zhengzheng. "Fang Zhengzhi corrected.
"I don't care if you are Fang Zhengzhi or Fang Zhengzheng. Move aside!" Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping's expression was icy. He knew who was behind this.
That was why he knew why Fang Zhengzhi was here.
"Prime Minister, don't worry. It's just arresting a few criminals from the Ministry of Law's prison. I can guarantee with my head that I will satisfy you today. If the Ministry of Law's case is obstructed because of me, I am willing to bear all the consequences!" Fang Zhengzhi replied with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping was stunned. He did not understand what Fang Zhengzhi meant.
The two assistant ministers behind Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping and the rest of the constables were confused as well. Even King Duan, who had arrived behind Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping, was taken aback.
King Duan wasn't too surprised by Fang Zhengzhi's appearance.
This was a delaying tactic.
However, taking the initiative to take responsibility for the delaying tactic really made him a little confused. What the hell was he doing?
"What I mean is … since I happened to be here, I can't just watch the criminal escape." Fang Zhengzhi replied calmly.
"Can't you just watch the criminal escape?" Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping squinted as he stared at Fang Zhengzhi, his expression dark.
Fang Zhengzhi had hired people to impersonate these criminals.
Now he was saying that he would not let them escape?
Did he think he was stupid?
Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping did not believe him. How could there be such a good thing in the world? This was completely different from a thief claiming to be a thief.
Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping did not believe Fang Zhengzhi. The two assistant ministers did not either.
Even King Duan was shocked when he heard Fang Zhengzhi's words.
However, Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of explaining himself. He turned around and whistled in the direction of the alley.
"Ah!"
"I will never go back to the Ministry of Justice prison!"
"Brothers, after 18 years, you will be a hero again!"
As Fang Zhengzhi whistled, a few shouts could be heard from the alleyway. Then, a few figures walked out from the alleyway.
They were a few dozen royal guards dressed in shiny golden armor.
The leader was none other than the Vice Domain Chief of the royal guards, Bai Qi.
In the hands of the Royal Guards, there were eight corpses in heavy armor. Bright red blood flowed from the corpses and dyed the alley red.
"You... you killed them?" Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping finally stopped in his tracks. His squinted eyes widened in an instant.
"How is that possible? Prime Minister, you heard them. They committed suicide. Our men were only in charge of trapping them. We did not expect them to be so violent! "Bai Qi waved him off.
"Yes, I can prove Vice Domain Chief Bai's words!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"I can prove it too!" Ping Yang nodded.
"Yes, these people obviously committed suicide." Yan Xiu also spoke at this moment.
"Suicide?" Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping was willing to believe it. If they were real warriors of sacrifice, he would have no doubt about it. However, these people were obviously faking it.
Why would they commit suicide?
Just as he was thinking about this, Bai Qi bent down and touched the faces of the Southern Region messengers. Then, his eyes lit up.
"Princess, these people seem to be wearing human skin masks. If I am not wrong, these Southern Region messengers are fakes." Bai Qi said confidently.
"Fakes? Then why don't you take off their human skin masks for this princess to see? "Ping Yang had a surprised expression on her face when she heard this.
"I want to take off their masks? I want to see... no! " Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping was just about to nod when he shuddered, almost as if he had been struck by lightning.
At this moment, he finally understood what was going on.
However...
It was too late.
Because Bai Qi's hands were very fast, and so were the Royal Guards beside him. The masks on the eight Southern Region messengers' faces were quickly removed.
As the human skin mask was removed, the air in the entire street froze in an instant.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the exposed faces, and when they saw the true faces of those people, they all felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet at the same time.
King Duan also noticed the exposed 'Southern Region messengers'. When he saw their faces, he was stunned.
But very quickly...
He laughed.
However, he did not laugh for long. He also felt a chill, a chill that was as cold as winter.
Things had come to this point.
It would be foolish to say that no one had guessed the cause and effect of all this.
What a ruthless plan!
It was even more ruthless than he had imagined!
King Duan had thought that Fang Zhengzhi's plan was perfect and ruthless. However, when he saw this, he finally understood what it meant to be ruthless and ruthless.
Even though Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping had caused a lot of trouble, he still had a chance to explain himself and make a comeback.
But now...
Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping was truly crippled.
He did not even have a chance to make a comeback. Fang Zhengzhi had used the facts to turn Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping's case into irrefutable evidence.
An irrefutable piece of evidence.
The eight 'Southern Region messengers' were not the real Southern Region messengers. They were three of Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping's henchmen.
Other than the three henchmen, there were five generals from the Ministry of War.
With the "testimonies" of these eight people in front of the citizens of Flame Capital City, the testimonies of King Duan, the city guards, and the citizens, as well as the "material evidence" of these corpses.
How could Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping have a chance to make a comeback?
"Hahaha... what a plan!" Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping laughed, his body trembling. Tears welled up in his eyes as he laughed, "Good, very good. I am in awe, in awe!"
At this moment, he had naturally guessed what had happened. In fact, when the Deputy Domain Chief of the Royal Guards mentioned the human skin mask, he had already understood the plan.
Fang Zhengzhi used eight people to pretend to be the Southern Region messengers sent by the Left Minister.
Then, in front of everyone, he had used the eight of them to reveal the Left Prime Minister's plan. He had even used Yan Xiu as the target of the assassination.
When Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping and the others had chased these eight people all the way here...
Then, they had used the Golden Cicada to escape and disappear into the alleyway. Finally, they had sent the eight corpses out of the alleyway.
This was an irrefutable case.
The eight people who had pretended to be the Southern Region messengers were already dead. Since they were dead, there was no way they could retract their confessions. Even the Emperor would not allow this to happen.
The two assistant ministers stared fixedly at the eight corpses whose faces had been revealed. As assistant ministers of the Ministry of Justice, they naturally knew that there was no chance of overturning the verdict now that the case had reached this stage.
"It's over, it's over..." The two assistant ministers looked at each other. They saw the same expression in each other's eyes.
Now that Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping was dead, there was no way for them to make a comeback.
They had worked together with Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping to release the eight criminals from the Law Prison. Once this case was proven, they would not be able to escape punishment either.
Meanwhile, the countless black-robed constables behind the two assistant ministers also had dejected looks on their faces. They would not be able to escape the punishment of being implicated in today's matter.
The entire street became quiet at this moment.
Not far away, under a large tree, Chi Hou's gaze was also fixed on the eight corpses. His expression was one of extreme shock.
"Brother Hong, what do you think?" Xing Yuanguo spoke up.
"I... no, I can't tell." Chi Hou shook his head, avoiding Xing Yuanguo's gaze as he looked at the tree in front of him.
"You can tell. Furthermore, with your abilities, even if you don't know what happened in front of the Law Prison, you should be able to deduce the entire process based on what you see. Am I right?" Xing Yuanguo replied calmly.
"Brother Yuanguo... alright, I have to admit that Fang Zhengzhi's plan was perfect. He was meticulous and merciless!" Chi Hou replied after a moment of silence.
"The Double Dragon Roll Champion will shock the world … sometimes, I don't understand. Will there be any more changes?" Xing Yuanguo looked up at the stars in the sky and muttered to himself.
"What else could have happened? What else could have happened? No matter how meticulous he is, he is still a cripple. Brother Yuanguo, don't tell me you don't trust your own daughter? "Chi Hou frowned as he listened to Xing Yuanguo's mutterings.
"Mm..." Xing Yuanguo nodded. Then, he turned to look outside the city, "Brother Hong, why don't you guess how Yan Qianli will react when he hears that Yan Xiu was assassinated?"
"Yan Xiu was assassinated? What do you mean? "
"Fang Zhengzhi's impersonators said that Prime Minister Yu sent people to assassinate Fang Zhengzhi on the surface, but it was actually Yan Xiu."
