Chapter Twelve Again(1/2)
Time goes back half an hour ago.
At this time, Nangong Jiang's car had not yet arrived, but the people had already gathered on the long street.
"I want to see why they kept the martial law for so long."
"Yes, because of this martial law, my mother outside the city had no one to take care of her and she almost starved to death. It's really hateful."
The people started talking just like what Li Feibai had seen before.
According to the progress he perceived, after the two common people finished their discussion, Nangong Jiang's car would arrive in a quarter of an hour.
Li Feibai's nerves were tense and his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of ways to deal with it.
Got it!
"Old Fang, hurry up and find a woman." Li Feibai suddenly spoke.
"What?" Fang Shengshou didn't understand what he meant at all.
"She is probably in that direction, wearing a gray dress, her face is sallow, and her right cheek is a little swollen." Li Feibai pointed to the place where Zhang was about to appear.
"This...why is this?" Fang Shengshou looked confused.
"Don't ask, time is running out. After you find her, you do this." Li Feibai said the plan in his heart.
Although Fang Shengshou didn't understand why he suddenly changed his mind, seeing Li Feibai's solemn look on his face, it was obvious that the stakes were very important, so he stopped asking any more questions and immediately followed the direction he pointed to find Zhang.
Li Feibai quickly disappeared into the crowd.
After some searching, Fang Shengshou finally saw the folk woman Zhang described by Li Feibai in a corner.
Pretending to walk around casually, he unknowingly took out a silver needle and approached Mrs. Zhang inadvertently.
Finally, Fang Shengshou walked to her side.
With a flip of her wrist, the silver needle quietly pierced Zhang's body.
Mrs. Zhang's eyes went dark, her legs were weak, and she fell limply into Fang Sheng's arms.
"Mother, you are too tired, I will help you to rest." Fang Shengshou deliberately said loudly and led Mrs. Zhang away from the crowd.
This scene did not attract any attention among the bustling crowd. Everyone's attention was at the end of the long street, where Nangong Jiang was about to appear.
"The prince has arrived!"
With a warning sound, Nangong Jiang's driver finally arrived, and the people knelt down one after another.
The driver calmly arrived at the roadblock set up by the imperial army. Zhang had originally jumped out to cry out for injustice, but there was no movement at this moment.
"Teacher, why hasn't Mrs. Zhang shown up yet?" Nangong Jiang asked with a frown while driving.
"Could it be that something unexpected happened?" Wen Chengye naturally didn't know the reason.
"Hmph, I guess she took the money but backed down. After all, it was the Taibao of the East Palace who she wanted to sue." Nangong Jiang said with great dissatisfaction.
"I don't think so. Although Mrs. Zhang received the money, she really cherished her daughter. Ding Chenghua killed Zhang Jinhuan. No matter what, Mrs. Zhang will vindicate her injustice." Wen Chengye replied.
"But why hasn't she shown up yet?" Nangong Jiang began to worry.
Wen Chengye was silent and puzzled.
"Teacher, what should we do? Past the barrier in front is the Lookout Pavilion." Nangong Jiang urged.
"For the current plan, the only way is to show up at the Observation Pavilion on time and don't break the trust of the people again." Wen Chengye replied helplessly.
"Alas!" Nangong Jiang sighed heavily.
The original plan was to put on a show first to enhance his reputation, and then ascend to the throne to appease people. It was an easy matter.
Now that Mrs. Zhang has not appeared, the people are still hostile to the East Palace, and he is not sure whether people can be appeased.
Especially to tell the people of Jinglin about the "White Tiger" rebellion.
Nangong Jiang knew that the importance of the "White Tiger" in the hearts of the people of Wei was no less than that of the royal family.
As the car passed the barrier, Nangong Jiang still looked back, looking forward to Zhang's appearance.
But the result was not what he expected. Until he got off the bus, Ms. Zhang still didn't show up.
Helpless, he could only approach the Observation Pavilion step by step with Ding Chenghua's support.
"What an injustice!"
At this time, a shrill shout rang out from the crowd, Zhang appeared!
The originally crowded crowd's eyes had already fallen on Nangong Jiang. When they heard the shout, they turned to Zhang with side glances, their faces full of doubts.
Nangong Jiang and Wen Chengye looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.
Although they didn't know why Zhang didn't show up at the agreed time, they showed up after all, so they would proceed as planned.
"Who are you kneeling down and why are you crying for injustice?" Nangong Jiang asked, raising his voice.
"Ms. Zhang, a civilian woman, wants to sue Ding Chenghua, the Taibao of the East Palace." Mrs. Zhang began to cry, her voice was shrill, trying to be heard clearly by the people around her.
Everything was the same as last time, the people raised their heads one after another and began to watch the excitement.
"Where did this cunning woman come from? She dared to block the prince's driving. Someone came and dragged her off." Xiao Wuji still reacted in the same way.
"Wait a minute." Nangong Jiang took two steps forward.
The difference from before was that Nangong Jiang had already got out of the car.
"Bring that man forward."
"But Your Highness, if she has evil intentions..." Xiao Wuji hesitated.
"With your Black Dragon Guard and Imperial City Forbidden Army here, are you still afraid that a woman will assassinate me?"
At Nangong Jiang's insistence, Zhang was brought forward.
"Ms. Zhang, what did you say just now?"
"Your Highness, please make the decision for the women of the country." Ms. Zhang kept prostrate on the ground, her body trembling from crying.
"Let me tell you, if the facts are true, I will never tolerate anyone."
Therefore, Mrs. Zhang carefully stated what happened, just as Li Feibai perceived it.
Come to the last moment!
Zhang said tremblingly: "There are many pieces of flesh and blood in the little girl's nails. She must have scratched the other party during the struggle, and there must be many scratches."
"Xiao Wuji, take off Ding Chenghua's shirt." Nangong Jiang ordered.
"Take orders!"
Xiao Wuji took off Ding Chenghua's shirt, revealing the scratches on his body.
"Thief, please give my daughter her life." Mrs. Zhang was still crying and shouting, but she still knelt on the ground and did not raise her head.
Nangong Jiang read the lines: "You are all citizens of our country. If the emperor breaks the law, he will be guilty as the common people, let alone the Taibao of the East Palace?"
Ding Chenghua begged: "Your Highness, this...are you not...?"
"It's useless to argue, Xiao Wuji, here comes the sword!"
Nangong Jiang took a step forward again and came between Ding Chenghua and Zhang.
Xiao Wuji moved his steps and approached Ding Chenghua, who was being held by the Black Dragon Guards. Nangongjiang was personally responsible. He had to prevent Ding Chenghua from counterattacking.
Everyone's attention was focused on Ding Chenghua and Nangong Jiang at this time, but they did not notice Zhang at their feet, slowly moving his body, gradually approaching Nangong Jiang, and using Nangong Jiang's body to block Xiao Wuji's sight.
.
"Yes!" Xiao Wuji took out his saber and handed it to Nangong Jiang.
"Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, didn't you mean..."
Ding Chenghua opened his mouth to beg for mercy, and a cold light flashed in Nangong Jiang's hand.
"puff"
The picture is exactly the same, Ding Chenghua's head leaps high and falls into the crowd.
"ah!"
Seeing the bloody heads, the crowd began to scream, and many people turned their faces and closed their eyes.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang finally raised her head and glanced at the sky.
"The time has come!" She muttered silently in her heart.
Then he pulled out a dazzling dagger from his arms, which was Li Feibai's personal artifact "Luoyan".
"Pfft"
"Zhang's" body suddenly rose up and shot towards Nangongjiang River.
Due to the close proximity, and the fact that Nangong Jiang had no idea that the "Zhang Family" arranged by him would actually rise up and assassinate him.
By the time he reacted, "Luoyan" had pierced his heart with incomparable accuracy.
Time seems to have frozen.
