However, no sooner had Meng Luo's crimes been announced than Ye Xiujie arrived, bringing with him the city lord's decree and the city lord's guards, and announced Hua Ansu's "crimes": embezzling mines, trafficking people, hoarding grain, and seducing the city lord's daughter...
Ye Xiujie began by recounting Hua Ansu's first day in Picheng, explaining that he knew everything she had done and portraying her as having "ulterior motives," linking her to Meng Luo—
Jiang Ziqi wanted to speak up for Hua Ansu, but the city lord's men brought by Ye Xiujie had already set their sights on her. Even the bead that Hua Ansu had given her was knocked away, and Jiang Ziqi was restrained and unable to defend herself.
Meng Luo, because he hated Hua Ansu so much, admitted Hua Ansu's "crimes" and her "ulterior motives" based on Ye Xiujie's words.
Ye Xiujie then presented the most compelling evidence—
Before Hua Ansu came to Picheng, a member of his group named Mo Linghan encountered Hua Ansu near the exile site of the Sinful Clan and had his mine stolen by Hua Ansu.
Mo Linghan appeared and personally identified Hua Ansu. He said that if anyone didn't believe him, they could go to that desolate place to check. The evil clan was building a city with Hua Ansu's help!
Build a city!
People were in complete panic. The evil clan hadn't all died out; they were even building a city. What were they building the city for? To conserve their strength and launch an attack on Pi City?
Ye Xiujie concluded, "Hua Ansu and Zhi Su are both members of the Sinful Clan, and Zhi Su is even more despicable. He came to Picheng nine years ago to investigate the situation and stayed for a full three years. Think about Zhi Su's character, ha, arrogant and aloof, and many people even regard him as a male god! It's no exaggeration to say that he's cold-hearted. Who else would be so solitary? He's afraid of exposing his identity! Don't you all find such a person terrifying when you think about it?"
Of course everyone was terrified. Ye Xiujie's words were very reasonable, and Hua Ansu Ayigu had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. If these two powerful people were enemies, who wouldn't be worried?
In response, Patimi, who had always been on good terms with the two, was brought up. Ye Xiujie asked, "Commander Patimi, it seems that you were the one who issued the passes for these two people to enter Picheng? Issuing passes for two people of unknown origin, you really have a lot of nerve!"
Patimi didn't believe a word Ye Xiujie said from beginning to end. He admitted it, "So what if it is?"
Whoosh—
The entire city's gaze fell angrily upon him, and a chorus of condemnation swept over them. But Patimi stood tall and said, "I believe in Hua Ansu and A Yigu. They are absolutely not members of the evil race. Ye Xiujie, you are making false accusations!"
Ye Xiujie asked, fanning himself, "Where are they from?"
"They used to live deep in the mountains and forests; their master was a reclusive sage!"
Ye Xiujie laughed loudly, "You actually believe this kind of nonsense that's only for three-year-olds? Commander Pa, you don't have the body of an adult, but the brain of a three-year-old, do you?"
Yun Ying remained silent throughout. To be honest, he was only half-convinced by Ye Xiujie's words. He couldn't just spout nonsense, and besides, Miss Hua's behavior was indeed suspicious...
Not only Yunying, but many others were skeptical, but that skepticism was enough for them to target Hua Ansu; they couldn't afford to gamble!
This was exactly the atmosphere Ye Xiujie wanted. Satisfied, he fanned himself and threw out the strongest evidence he had—
He had a stack of papers in his hand.
"You can't see the photo in my hand, but you can see it on the big screen."
Splash!
A large white sheet was lifted, and the photo in Ye Xiujie's hand was projected onto the white sheet.
