Chapter 175 Besieged in front of the palace

The gate of the royal palace opened slowly, and Fred walked out with Safi.

Seeing the appearance of the crown prince, the civilians were even more excited. Everyone wanted to rush forward. The knights who were maintaining order at the door suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Stay at least three meters away from Fred.

"Everyone, calm down," Fred's voice sounded, and he used wind magic to spread the sound far away. Standing there, he naturally attracted everyone's attention, and the invisible coercion overflowed from him, making him Man obeys involuntarily, "Please calm down and listen to me."

The crowd was no longer restless, and all eyes were on Fred.

Fred glanced at Safi first and nodded to her. Safi understood and chanted the spell. An ice platform slowly rose under Fred's feet, supporting him to keep rising.

"I know that everyone has a lot of questions in their hearts, but what I can answer so far is that there is no movement of rebellion in the south, and everything is calm."

The words from Fred's mouth are naturally quite convincing. Just when everyone was patting their chests and lamenting the false alarm, a shrill and earth-shattering scream suddenly sounded: "Lie!"

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to that point, as if the tide was ebbing, they retreated away from that person, making that person form an isolated island.

Fred glanced over casually: "Bring people over here."

A knight captured that person, and Fred took a few glances at him, only to see that he was a middle-aged man who was untidy and slightly slovenly. , with a messy beard that looked like it hadn't been groomed for days.

Not knowing what this person was going to do, Fred squinted his eyes, preparing to wait and see what happened.

"What's your name? You say I'm lying, what is the basis?" Fred's attitude was very gentle, and he even asked the knight to let him go and let him move freely.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that if he makes any changes, the knight standing beside him and Safi who is not far away can kill him immediately.

The man rubbed his wrists and snorted coldly: "My name is Ke Luo, and I'm here to ask you noble lords for an explanation."

"What do you mean?"

Crowe wiped his mouth rudely: "I was just a small trader, and my only good friend was named Oak. Oak is a passenger transporter. The most frequent route is the commercial route between Wangcheng and the South, just two days ago. He fled back from the south in embarrassment one day, with injuries all over his body, and told me that the south was in rebellion, and he was about to hit Wangcheng, so he told me to leave quickly."

He sniffed loudly and seemed very sad: "I believe His Royal Highness, but we have waited for two days and haven't seen any movement from the royal family, not even a single soldier has been dispatched. Oak wants to warn in the morning But was killed by the nobles, I just want to ask you nobles, what is your intention to drag everyone to wait for death together?"

At the end, he was already choking up. The tears of a middle-aged man were heartbreaking to see, and some people even started to sob slightly.

If Felisa were here, she would probably sigh that "I am weak but I am justified" is really an eternal truth.

Commoners have a natural position of weakness to nobles, and most of the people on the scene are also commoners, so it is easier for them to empathize with the same kind.

Fred's authority was broken by Crowe's few words, the crowd rioted, and the civilians subconsciously stayed away from Fred, for fear of being affected by his anger.

Was it waiting for him here?

Oak is dead, and the person who did it is nowhere to be found for the time being, and they can't produce any evidence that the nobles didn't do it. Even if everything is only Crow's side story, they have no strong evidence to refute him.

Fred dared to appear in front of the public like this, of course he was not unprepared, but it would take some time.

"What proof do you have that what you say is true?" asked Fred.

But Crowe laughed desolately as if hearing some joke: "Evidence, everyone has been killed by you, come and tell me the evidence, I don't have evidence, you can kill me too!"

Really good acting, if Fred wasn't [-]% sure that his information was correct, even he himself couldn't help but wonder if some nobleman did something behind his back.

Crowe had already killed Oak to death, and pinned the blame on the nobleman, clamoring for an explanation.

The matter was not done by the nobles at all. How can they give an explanation? In the eyes of those who don't know the truth, the royal family is guilty.

Faced with such entanglements, Fred could only delay time with nonsense.

Until he saw Felisa appearing from a distance, Safi dexterously retreated out of the blind spot of his sight, and faced Felisa: "Have you got the thing?"

Felisa gasped and nodded, and she ran over when she saw it: "Well, I told you right, I did get the information when I went to the orphanage."

This was within Safi's expectation. It is definitely not wrong to ask old Rhodes to check things that Ulysses couldn't find out. Rhodes has survived on the abandoned avenue for decades, so it is absolutely right to ask him to investigate people.

After getting what Old Rhodes gave her, Safi quickly glanced at it.

Heh, a thief on an abandoned avenue, a garbage dealer who sells stolen goods, can also be called a small vendor.

Safi turned around and returned to the scene, flew directly onto the ice platform, and stood side by side with Fred.

"Crow?" Safi asked with a sneer, "You are the famous seller of stolen goods on the Abandoned Avenue, right?"

As soon as the words "Abandoned Avenue" came out, those who had sympathized with this man fell silent instantly.

After all, it was a place that had been declared to be in collusion with the demons. In the common people's concept, the people on the abandoned road were the demons.

For a while, the development of the whole situation was incomprehensible, and the smart ones shut their mouths and watched quietly.

"If I'm not wrong, you can also use magic." Safi's indifferent eyes fell on Crowe. "Could it be that you killed Oak and then wanted to take the opportunity to blame the royal family?"

Crowe's face changed in an instant, and then he looked angry again: "What do you mean, because I used to be a person on the abandoned road and didn't even have the chance to start again? You clearly promised that you will not blame the past! "

"That's right!" Safi said coldly, "But I also said that if you commit another crime, you will be settled as a new account and an old account. Are you ready to be accounted for?"

"I don't accept it!" Crowe roared, "You are using power to oppress people, I don't accept it!"

He keeps saying that he is dissatisfied, but avoids all the questions about magic. Maybe this is the subconscious avoidance of the guilty.
