Chu Yongcheng couldn't believe it. He and Brother Deng had been friends for life and death all along the way. Brother Deng had pushed him aside and saved him several times when they were in danger. He said Brother Deng was a fake? That couldn't be possible, right? No matter how he looked at it, Brother Deng didn't look like a liar. If he were to see it, he wouldn't even need to ask the guy in the prison. He was definitely the fake one.
But it was obvious that Lord Yuan did not think the same as he did.
Lord Yuan looked at Xiao Heng viciously, with undisguised malice in his eyes.
Anyway, it has come to this point, and the last layer of fig leaf has been completely torn off. No matter whether it is Xiao Heng here or not, death is the best solution for everyone today.
In recent days, he has been running around under tremendous pressure, looking for people every day. His patience has already reached the limit. Just like now, his eyes are red. He has been through so many days, and all the hard work has been exhausted.
Fortunately, however, all these expenses are worth it.
Xiao Heng remained calm and composed. He raised his eyebrows and even had a hint of a smile on his face: "So what does Lord Yuan mean?"
Lord Yuan was too lazy to beat around the bush. He now had the palace soldiers at his disposal. Xiao Heng had come to him on his own, so his death would be in vain. At this moment, let alone talk about whether he was the crown prince or not. He was just an assassin pretending to be Deng Congrui. Therefore, Lord Yuan had no intention of backing down. He stared straight at Xiao Heng and said coldly: "I don't mean anything. What I mean is that since the one in the prison is the real Deng Congrui, then you are a fake!"
Everyone in the Chu family gasped.
Chu Yongcheng's face turned even paler. He didn't know whether Brother Deng was fake or not, but he could see through Lord Yuan's malicious intentions at a glance.
Could it be that Brother Deng has really done something to offend Lord Yuan
Or is Brother Deng really an assassin
But... looking at Brother Deng's expression, this can't be the case!
He was confused and didn't know what to do for a moment, but in the current situation, he really didn't have the courage to speak up for Brother Deng. He stood aside and moved away from Brother Deng unnoticed.
Tan Zhengtong lowered his eyes, supported his pregnant concubine while thinking quickly in his mind. In the end, he did not stop Lord Yuan.
Lord Yuan is right about what he said. No matter which one is fake, one of them is definitely fake.
Well, it's the same if we kill both of them.
Zhaotong is their territory. No imperial envoy has intervened yet, and no one from the court has come yet. If we settle the matter before everyone comes, there will be no evidence, and no matter who comes or dies, no one can turn the tables.
Lord Yuan did not stop him, but waved his hand with a fierce smile at his men: "Capture the traitors who assassinated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If anyone disobeys, kill them without mercy! Whoever can capture these assassins will be rewarded handsomely!"
The palace soldiers who received the order rushed forward. At this moment, Su Rong and Tang Yuan, who had been motionless behind Xiao Heng, rushed out from the left and right and killed the first two palace soldiers who surrounded them.
Their movements were swift and brutal. Before the two soldiers could react, the long swords had already pierced through their bodies, spurting blood all over the ground.
Chu Yongcheng was stunned.
In his impression, there was nothing special about Brother Deng's followers, and there was no difference between them and his own servants. But at this moment, Brother Deng's servants were able to kill two people so quickly!
Is he really fake?!
Everyone in the Chu family was also shocked. Mrs. Chu was so frightened by this sudden change that she screamed. Then, looking at the blood all over the ground, she could not hold on any longer and fainted.
Everyone's reaction actually only took a split second. After two soldiers died, the rest of the soldiers were stunned for a moment and then continued to rush towards Xiao Heng and the others.
Lord Yuan had a fierce look in his eyes. Seeing that the people around Xiao Heng killed two people with one move, he became even more certain that Xiao Heng was a fake Deng Congrui. Otherwise, how could a child of a civil servant have such extraordinary skills and a guard who could kill people with just one move
good!
He said "good" in his heart, and didn't care at all that two soldiers had died. Instead, he felt relieved.
Of course it is a great thing. He has been busy looking for Xiao Heng for about a month. He is so tired and has lost more than ten pounds these days. Now he finally found him.
What happened next was just to surround and kill them.
This is not difficult, Xiao Heng is not a celestial being.
Su Rong and Tang Yuan were both very skilled people, so they were no match for these palace soldiers. They quickly knocked down the front row of palace soldiers. Then Su Rong stood forward with a cold face and shouted with great momentum: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, who dares to be presumptuous?!"
As he spoke, he had already taken out a token from his waist and raised it coldly in front of everyone.
The token was made of pure gold, with the words "Made in the 19th year of Yuanfeng" engraved on it. There were dragon patterns all around it. Even someone who didn't know much about it could tell at a glance that it was real.
The Crown Prince!
Everyone in the Chu family opened their mouths wide.
Chu Yongcheng was so frightened that he was completely stunned. The shock now was even greater than when he knew Deng Congrui was a fake. He looked at Xiao Heng with his mind in a mess.
I originally thought that being able to get close to Deng Congrui was already a great achievement, but who could have imagined that Brother Deng was actually the crown prince!
The Crown Prince!
etc!
Chu Yongcheng realized belatedly that something was wrong.
The identity of the Crown Prince is so noble, so why does he have to pretend to be the son of the Imperial Academy
Could it be that the status of the son of the academician be more honorable than that of the crown prince
This is obviously impossible.
Also, the Crown Prince has already revealed his identity, so why didn’t Lord Yuan and his brother-in-law react
This is the crown prince. Unlike the academician's son, he is a prince whom they should all prostrate themselves before. Why are they all behaving so strangely
The last bit of worry in Lord Yuan's heart was gone.
Good! They admitted it themselves, which is even better.
How ridiculous! Do you think you can scare anyone by revealing your identity
He has been waiting for this day. When the truth is revealed, let's see who can remain unscathed!
Tan Zhengtong was also shocked. He didn't expect that Lord Yuan's guess this time was actually true. It was really Xiao Heng pretending to be Master Deng.
But he couldn't understand why. Didn't Xiao Heng know that the whole city's manhunt was targeting him
After all, catching the assassin is fake, catching Xiao Heng is real.
Why did he come to the prefectural government? This is too bold!
Lord Yuan didn't bother to care about that. He shouted sharply, "Don't believe them! The Crown Prince has already died. It was all caused by these assassins. They stole your Highness's token. Now there is solid evidence of their crimes. Take them down quickly, dead or alive!"
