The people discussed this matter a lot, saying that their emperor was too magnanimous.
"Not only did the emperor not pursue the case, he actually posted an imperial notice to pardon the other party. I really don't understand this time."
"Don't say it's you, I don't understand either. The emperor also said that if that person has any dissatisfaction, just go to him and tell him face to face."
Everyone sighed from the bottom of their hearts that their emperor's mind was really extremely broad.
Three days later, Xiang Kunlun was having a meeting as usual, and a subordinate ran in to report.
"Your Majesty, there is a masked man in black outside the door asking to see him."
Wearing black? Masked man
Everyone was in a panic.
They all guessed that this person was probably the mastermind behind it.
Dian Wei's bad temper suddenly came to him. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, this guy dares to come here if he has the guts. He brought it to your door. Don't blame me for being rude."
Xiang Kunlun glared at him: "What's wrong? Are you planning to fight with them on the spot?"
Dian Wei muttered, "This kind of person should be beaten."
"What did you say?"
Xu Chu glared at him and quickly reconciled.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, this person should be seen first before talking."
Xiang Kunlun had this intention, so he let the masked man in.
"See the Emperor."
"Get up. If I guess correctly, you should be the one who wrote the book."
The masked man probably didn't expect that Xiang Kunlun would be so direct, and judging from his expression and tone, he didn't seem to be angry.
The masked man paused for a second without speaking, acquiescing to Xiang Kunlun's question.
"Tell me, why did you write such a book?"
Before entering the palace, the masked man had already made preparations that he would be beheaded.
Because he didn't believe that Xiang Kunlun would really do what the imperial list said.
Maybe it's just a plan to lure snakes out, maybe it's just a show for the world.
But now that I see that Xiang Kunlun is really what he says and does what he says, I feel even more guilty.
He lowered his head with some regret and recounted what he had experienced in the past few days.
It turned out that just a few days ago, Liu Bei came to see him first.
Then he crackled and said how pitiful and gentleman he was, and how treacherous and villain Xiang Kunlun was.
Obviously he just wants to satisfy his own ambitions, and he still talks about empty words that the people will no longer suffer. This is just to put money on his face and find a high-sounding reason for his ambitions.
After all, this big earlobe is a natural speaker, and his words are very inflammatory and can easily confuse others.
Therefore, after he heard this, he became extremely angry and joined Liu Bei in cursing Xiang Kunlun as a despicable person.
After scolding him, he still felt uncomfortable.
When an idea struck, he told Liu Bei that maybe they could reveal Xiang Kunlun's true identity to the public.
Liu Bei didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains, so he asked him what he wanted to do.
Because he is a writer himself, the most powerful weapon for him is the pen in his hand.
He told Liu Bei at that time that he could write down all Xiang Kunlun's evil deeds, and then find some people to sell them on the street, so that more and more people would know Xiang Kunlun's true face.
Liu Bei was so excited that tears filled his eyes on the spot. He grabbed his hands and knelt down to him.
"Xuande can meet your confidant in this life, I really will die without regrets."
So this is what happened next.
At this moment, the masked man felt very regretful.
He whispered to Xiang Kunlun: "Your Majesty, the common people have realized their mistakes. They listened to the villain's words and wronged the good people. Let the emperor handle it and never dare to complain."
"It's just that the common people have one last thing to say. Those common people who sell books were all ordered by me. They didn't want to do it in the first place. It was the common people who used money and notes to threaten and induce them."
"So please, Your Majesty, if you have a large number of people, you can release them all and kill only the common people."
Xiang Kunlun cast an admiring look at him, feeling that this man was a gentleman, daring to take action, but also a man.
He still admires such people.
"Get up, when did I say I wanted to kill you?"
The masked man couldn't believe his ears. Just by doing these things, he was enough to destroy the nine tribes.
Does the emperor really not kill him
Xiang Kunlun said calmly that those who don't know are not to blame. Liu Bei was behind all this, so he can't be blamed.
Then, he directly released all the masked people and the arrested people.
The masked man's eyes were a little moist. He rubbed his face hard and knelt down on the spot.
"Please, Your Majesty, trust the grass-roots people, and swear allegiance to the Dragon Kingdom from now on. Pledge to follow the Emperor to the death."
This is what Xiang Kunlun was waiting for. He had originally wanted to accept him, but he was worried that the scholar's character might not be willing to be bound by the palace.
Now that this person has said this, it is simply delivered to his door.
That certainly cannot be avoided.
Xiang Kunlun immediately gave him a reward and told him not to let emotions control his mind in the future, but to think more and make his own judgment.
The masked man thanked him profusely and shed tears of gratitude.
After leaving the palace, he returned home.
Liu Bei happened to come to see him again. As soon as he saw him, he came over to call him brother and wanted to go up and hug his shoulders.
The masked man looked at Liu Bei's face now and felt it was very hypocritical.
He felt very disgusted with people like Liu Bei, pushed him away, and directly began to speak out and accuse Liu Bei.
"I ask you, do you dare to swear to God now that everything you said is true?"
Liu Bei is still smiling and refusing to admit it, and he still wants to confuse right and wrong.
He directly raised one hand, stretched out three fingers, and pointed to the sky.
"Of course Xuande can swear that everything he said is true."
The masked man sneered. He really didn't expect that Liu Bei would even lose his own face in order to take advantage of him.
"What if there is a lie?"
"Then let Xuande die without a burial place and never be reincarnated."
The masked man immediately laughed out of anger at him.
"Do you know where I just went?"
Liu Bei shook his head.
"Imperial Palace. Why are the words coming out of His Majesty's mouth completely different from what you told me?"
When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
In this way, wouldn't Xiang Kunlun know that he was behind this incident
Liu Bei's scalp was immediately numb with fear, and the previous scene of being beaten by the male protagonist immediately flooded into his mind.
If Xiang Kunlun sends people to arrest him, then
