"Such treacherous men deserve death by all!"
The crowd was stirred up, all pointing fingers at Chen Ji.
General Wang gave a cold smile, while Chen Liqin simply ducked into the main hall of the Zhang Mansion. Zhang Zhuo closed his eyes in deep thought, trying to find a way to break the deadlock and clear Chen Ji's name but couldn't think of any.
Only Xiao Man was red-faced with anger, tugging at Chen Ji's sleeve, "My lord, say something, you're not that kind of person."
Chen Ji remained silent.
Xiao Man angrily said to General Wang, "Don't slander my master, I have served him for years; he is kind and definitely not the treacherous person you describe!"
General Wang calmly replied, "Appearances can be deceiving, and perhaps even the Prince thought him kind, which is why he entrusted the Blood Letter to him. Young girl, you are too young to understand people."
Xiao Man retorted after a pause, "...you're talking nonsense!"
