Chapter 211: Words are not enough! Is there any evidence to prove that I ordered you to do this?
"Here is the prince's token! Send someone to bring Governor Na Luo here immediately!"
Xiao Jingyan gave stern orders to the officers and soldiers in the government office with a gloomy expression.
"Yes!" The officers and soldiers did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly took the order and left.
Not long after, I heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from afar.
Immediately afterwards, Prefect Luo was seen rushing over in a panic, with even a few beads of sweat the size of beans hanging on his forehead.
In addition to his personal attendants, four others came with him: Qingluan, Qingzhi, Banxia and Danggui.
"Princess, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Qingluan and Qingzhi walked to the side of the carriage and saw Shen Li. They couldn't wait to ask him with concern, their eyes full of anxiety.
Tears kept welling up in my eyes.
At this time, Shen Li was still sitting in the carriage, concentrating on providing emergency treatment to the seriously injured and unconscious Yun Chenyu.
Hearing the voice coming from outside, she just raised her head slightly and responded calmly:
"I'm fine, but the prince is seriously injured and unconscious. I'm doing my best to save him. You must guard this carriage and don't let anyone get close."
At this moment, the atmosphere outside the carriage was extremely tense.
Xiao Jingyan held a long sword, with the tip of the sword firmly against Luo Yimin's neck.
The cold moonlight fell on the sword, reflecting chilling rays of light.
Luo Yimin was obviously very frightened, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
He clenched his palms tightly, trying to calm his inner fear and force himself to remain calm.
"Guard Xiao, what does this mean?" Luo Yimin asked tremblingly.
"What do you mean? Humph!" Xiao Jingyan snorted coldly, a sharp cold light flashing in his eyes. "The prince was assassinated by such a cruel hand today. Doesn't Lord Luo think that this matter should be given a reasonable explanation?"
Luo Yimin took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the fear that surged into his heart like a tide.
He gathered himself together and then said, "The assassination of the prince has deeply saddened me. Such a terrible thing happened in Youyun City. I cannot escape the blame.
However, please rest assured that I will do my utmost to thoroughly investigate this case, find out the real culprit, and vigorously rectify the public security situation in the small town to ensure that such incidents do not happen again.
However, the most urgent task at this moment is to do everything in our power to save the prince. I will immediately dispatch personnel to invite a highly skilled doctor to bring the prince back from the brink of death at all costs."
After saying that, Luo Yimin slowly raised his hand and slowly approached the extremely sharp sword, trying to push it away.
At this moment, Xiao Jingyan swung his arm suddenly, and the sharp sword that was originally against Luo Yimin's neck was raised up quickly again, and then again firmly pressed against his throat with lightning speed.
Xiao Jingyan shouted angrily: "Lord Luo, the princess possesses peerless medical skills and is trying her best to save the prince, but even so, we must not let the real culprit go!"
Before he finished speaking, Jamel Xiao's sharp gaze had already swept across the dozen killers who were kneeling on the ground as quickly as lightning.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jingyan's angry shout suddenly rang out, exploding in everyone's ears like thunder:
"These people have all confessed that they were ordered by you to murder the prince and princess! Lord Luo, at this point, what else do you have to say?"
Lord Luo's face turned extremely pale in an instant, but he still forced himself to calmly refute:
"They are pure slander! As the governor of Youyun City, I have always fulfilled my duties and abided by the law. My position is secure, so why would I go to such lengths to kill the prince?
Not to mention that this move will not benefit me at all, and if I am not careful, it will only bring disaster to myself. How could I do such a thing that is not worth the loss?
"Guard Xiao, in my opinion, these assassins are ruthless and cold-blooded. They dared to openly assassinate the prince. They are truly heinous and should be executed immediately to uphold the law of the land!"
Hearing this, the killers were all shocked and their bodies involuntarily stiffened in place.
They have become abandoned pawns and are no longer of any use.
At this moment, the leader of the assassins suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide open, staring at Lord Luo.
He shouted angrily, "You are a corrupt official who has committed corruption and abused his power, a traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people!
It was you who ordered us brothers to fight for you, but now you have turned your back on us and want to kill us! Has your conscience really been eaten away by that wild dog?
Now we are all going to die anyway, so rather than die in such a cowardly way, I will fight you to the death!
Even if we die, we must take a few people with us, so that we won't be alone on the road to the underworld!"
After saying that, they were about to stand up and kill Luo Yimin with their own hands.
Luo Yimin retreated again and again.
Xiao Jingyan ordered the government officials and soldiers to hold down the killers.
"You...you...how dare you be so bold and reckless! This is simply outrageous!"
Luo Yimin was so angry that he was shaking all over. He raised his hand and pointed at the killers, shouting angrily:
"Words are not enough! You keep saying that I ordered you to act like this. Fine! Quickly produce the evidence!"
If you can't produce solid evidence, don't blame me for severely punishing you!"
Jamel Xiao on the side also said: "That's right! Do you have any evidence?"
The killers looked at each other in silence for a moment.
At this moment, the leader of the assassins suddenly seemed to have thought of something important. He quickly reached into his chest and groped inside his clothes.
"Found it! Finally found it!"
The assassin leader couldn't hide his excitement and shouted loudly.
After a moment, he carefully took out a crumpled piece of paper from his chest.
"Please look, sir! This is the note! This is the secret letter you, Lord Luo, wrote to me! It instructs us to assassinate His Royal Highness Prince Chen in black and white!"
As he spoke, he proudly held the piece of paper high up, as if he was holding a magic weapon for victory.
Fortunately, due to the suddenness of the incident and the urgency of the situation, he did not have time to destroy the secret letter, but instead accidentally brought it with him.
However, unlike the panic that everyone imagined, Luo Yimin at this time appeared calm and fearless.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a sneer playing on the corners of his mouth, and said sarcastically: "Humph! What secret letter? How come I didn't know I wrote you a secret letter! Could it be that you fabricated it out of thin air to frame me?"
Jamel Xiao quickly took the letter from the killer and opened it.
Surprisingly, there wasn't a single word on the paper...
