He had a bad feeling.

At this time, a large number of people gradually gathered in front of the government office.

Suddenly, seven or eight old men rushed over and knelt behind Xiang Gan, looking solemn and dignified as they advanced and retreated together with him.

Ji Bai recognized two of them; both were surnamed Xiao.

Moreover, these people are all respected elders in the community, and cannot be hit or scolded.

He knew that this matter was beyond his control.

"What? She dares to do it, but doesn't dare to come out and face me? Let her come out, look at the people behind me, and ask herself what it means to be a subject?"

The scene was quiet.

Only when she confronted Gan Lisheng did she ask, "As a minister of the Great Sheng Dynasty, she wields military power, intimidates His Majesty, and wantonly kills officials. Now, under the guise of being a military commander, she even attempts to control the Northern Province and oversteps her bounds. Is this the behavior of a subject?"

"I think she wants to become the Queen of the North, to seize my land, to divide my territory, and to become a traitorous rebel!"

boom--

The crowd at the scene was in an uproar.

That's too harsh a statement.

They admired Xiao Zhixing's bravery and knew that all the changes in Beizhou were her doing.

They were incredibly grateful and remembered her, regarding her as their savior.

But Xiang Gan is right.

The people of Beizhou only know Xiao Zhixing, not the emperor. This is indeed going too far.

Of course, there were also pure-hearted people who refuted Xiang Gan, saying, "Lord Xiang's words are extreme. How can you make such malicious speculations about Prince Yuansheng?"

"The facts are right before our eyes, why should I speculate? She interferes in the appointment of officials in the Northern State, spends money to buy fame, and is domineering and tyrannical. Isn't this an attempt to become the Queen of the Northern State?"

Xiang Gan did not back down at all. "Prince Yuansheng, if you are not guilty, why don't you come out and argue with me and explain your situation?"
