The crowd was in an uproar, and the officials surrounded them.

The Zhang family members were aggressive and scolding him, calling him a little beast, demanding that he pay with his life for his murder. Everyone around them was pointing fingers at them. The nightmare that seemed to haunt him every night suddenly came and tore apart the beauty that should not have belonged to him.

Chen He clutched his palms tightly while trembling all over. He wanted to kill everyone in the Zhang family, and he didn't even dare to look at his sister and Zhizhi.

Chen He thought, they would definitely not want him anymore. They would be disgusted with him as a liar, a beggar who had committed murder and fled, vicious and cruel, as lowly as mud. Sister would never call him "brother" gently again, and Zhizhi would not lift her head to feed him sweet cakes...

"You're talking nonsense!"

The little girl with a flower-bud hairstyle suddenly stood in front of him. Although she was obviously shorter than him, she protected him behind her: "He is not a little beast, he is my brother. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will let Daddy arrest you!!"

The Zhang family member was immediately furious: "You little bitch, your father is nothing! This little bastard killed our young master and escaped without a trace. We've been looking for him for half a year, and it turns out you guys hid him. Arrest them all together!!"

"Let's see who dares!"

Rong Zhen, who was always gentle and kind in the past, stood forward with a cold expression and said, "I am the eldest daughter of the Rong family, and my father is the imperial tutor of the current dynasty. I will see who dares to insult the people of my family in the street!"

The people who had gathered around stopped instantly, and the officers who were shouted over turned pale.

Everyone knew who the current Grand Tutor was. He was someone that even the Crown Prince relied on. His status was similar to that of the current Grand Master, and even the aristocratic families didn't dare to provoke him. The Rong family was even more affluent and noble. They quickly stepped aside and said, "Madam Rong, this is all a misunderstanding."

"Sir, this is not a misunderstanding, he is the Shen He!"

The people of the Zhang family became anxious when they saw this. Although they were also afraid of the Grand Tutor, they were equally afraid of their own master. Although the master was furious when the young master died, there were still two young masters in the mansion. However, not long after, one of the other two young masters died in an accident, and the other was found to be ill and unable to have children. The Zhang family was thus extinct.

The master was like a madman, and countless people in the mansion suffered. It would have been fine if Chen He had not been found, but now that he has been found but not caught, these people will definitely be beaten to death by the master when they return.

The Zhang family member said anxiously, "We dare not offend Madam Rong, but this Chen He is a murderer. He was originally a beggar in the west of the city. He killed our young master, stole our Zhang family's things, and ran away. He is a cruel and ruthless little beast. Madam Rong, please don't be deceived by such a lowly person."

"Our master reported this to the authorities long ago, and the people in the mansion have been looking for him for half a year. Many people in the west of the city know about it..."

Chen He pursed his lips and his face turned pale as he listened to the man's words. He clenched his fists tightly and wanted to say something, but Rong Zhen suddenly reached out and held his hand.

Her palms were warm, and she placed a little too firmly on his trembling hands. When she looked up, her voice was calm.

"Then you must have found the wrong person. This is the child of an old friend of our Rong family. He was away from the capital for many years. He came to the capital a few months ago because of his frailty and sought medical treatment. He has since been admitted to the Rong family. He is not a beggar, and it is impossible for him to kill and steal as you claim. Please do not slander him with false accusations."

Rong Yue was young and a little confused when she heard this, but she knew that what her sister said must be right, and he was not a bad person.

She ran to Chen He's side, stretched out her chubby little hands and hugged his arm directly, raised her chin and said to the opposite side: "That's right, he is not a beggar. No beggar is as handsome as him. He is from our Rong family. If you keep talking nonsense, I will ask Dad to teach you a lesson!"

The Zhang family member was anxious: "We are not talking nonsense, he is really Shen He..."

"Where's the evidence?" Rong Zhen said calmly, "Let's not even mention that he's not the person you're looking for. Even if he is, since you say he killed someone and your family has reported him to the authorities, then the government must have evidence."

Rong Zhen was only fourteen, but she wasn't the least bit afraid of everyone's gaze. Instead, she kept a cold expression on her beautiful face as she spoke to the yamen runners across from her, "Since the authorities can be forced to arrest someone in the street, they must have solid evidence. The criminal has been at large for six months, so you should have a warrant for his arrest or a reward."
