After saying that, Shen Zhao smiled and prepared to leave.
"Ren Piaomiao!"
As soon as he turned around, Dong Wen and Xu Shuyu, along with over a hundred guards, surrounded him and Liang Hao menacingly.
"Um?"
While Shen Zhao was still wondering, Dong Wen and Xu Shuyu had already surrounded the two of them.
Xu Shuyu stepped forward: "So it was you who killed the princess's fiancé?"
"Then what?"
Shen Zhao's calm demeanor immediately made Xu Shuyu frown.
"Young Master Xu, this man is arrogant and domineering. Yesterday, he not only killed my fiancé..."
He almost killed me too, so don't let him fool you!
"Um!"
Xu Shuyu nodded vigorously and said to Shen Zhao, "Since you admit to killing someone in the street, then according to the laws of our Great Feng, murder is punishable by death. Please turn yourself in."
"ha."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao couldn't help but give a mocking laugh.
"It is a matter of course that murderers should pay with their lives. Then I would like to ask, why did the four Xiliang soldiers you forced to their deaths yesterday not suffer the same fate?"
Xu Shuyu: "That's because they attempted to humiliate women and children in the street, severely violating the discipline of the Xiliang army and breaking the laws of the Great Feng Dynasty..."
"Then how can you prove that the person I killed yesterday did not violate the laws of the Great Feng Dynasty?"
One sentence left Xu Shuyu speechless.
Dong Wen laughed: "A few ants, killing them is no big deal, how can they be compared to us?"
"Oh, so you mean you're of such high status that you don't have to be punished for murder?" Shen Zhao asked rhetorically.
"Yes, I am the Princess of Dingbian of the Western Liang Royal Palace. How can I be compared to those commoners?"
"Alas, even a prince who commits murder is punished the same as a commoner. It seems you have no regard for the law at all!"
"The law of the Western Liang Royal Palace is law itself!"
When Dong Wen shouted these words, her face was full of pride, completely ignoring the gazes of the onlookers around her.
Xu Shuyu felt a chill run down her spine, and her gaze towards Shen Zhao became more wary.
Unable to bear it any longer, Liang Hao whispered in Shen Zhao's ear, "Big brother, why don't I take care of them myself?"
Shen Zhao covered his face with a feather fan and replied in a low voice, "If I kill them now, my plan will have to be changed drastically. After I contact the Great Feng court and finalize the plan, you can deal with these纨绔 (sons of wealthy and powerful families) as you see fit."
Liang Hao nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for your message, brother."
Then, Shen Zhao gave everyone a playful smile.
"How could you even say such a thing? It seems your Western Liang Royal Palace is planning a rebellion, isn't it?"
Dong Wen was about to shout, "So what if it's a rebellion?", but Xu Shuyu quickly stopped her.
"Your words are so eloquent that we are in awe. However, the person you killed yesterday was the fiancé of Princess Dingbian. This matter must be explained reasonably."
"So what kind of explanation do you want?"
"Hmph, that depends on your sincerity."
