Shen Nan glared angrily at the people who had just spoken, but the surroundings were completely silent, and no one dared to utter a word.
Seeing this scene, March breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just now, March had reached for the soft sword at her waist, ready to rush out and fight these people.
He didn't care who these people were or what their status was; it was their fault for being so gossipy and upsetting the general.
The general saved his life, and he was willing to risk everything for him.
However, after hearing Shen Nanzhi's words, which silenced everyone, Sanyue realized how impulsive her earlier thoughts had been.
Just as March was beginning to relax, someone else suddenly stood up as well. Before they could even steady themselves, that person pointed directly at Shen Nanzhi.
"What nonsense are you spouting? The King of Libei is a great hero of our country, guarding the border and killing thousands of enemies. How can the Prime Minister's empty gestures compare to him?"
After shouting that, the man narrowed his eyes into slits and then yelled again.
"This man is a traitor. He might be in cahoots with the Prime Minister, praising him at this crucial moment. Let's all kick him out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many people stood up, waving their fists and shouting at the same time.
"Yes, those who falsely accuse loyal officials will die, and those who collude with traitors should get out!"
"Get out of here! We don't want to see the Prime Minister's lackeys!"
"Get out of here! You framed the Prince of Libei, and now you're trying to sow discord. People like you deserve to be struck by lightning!"
...
The people were extremely excited, shouting slogans one after another.
Shen Nan clenched his fist and coldly stared at the chaotic crowd in front of him.
Liangchen Meijing and Sanyue stood beside Shen Nanzhi, the three of them almost completely protecting him.
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the shopkeeper in the shop suddenly panicked.
"What are you all doing here? We're all here to eat, so let's make money peacefully. As for the matter between the Prince of Libei and the Prime Minister, let the court decide. Don't worry about it."
"Everyone, please sit down and continue eating. Otherwise, the food will get cold. Everyone, please calm down and don't get agitated."
“We all have families and jobs. If we get into trouble with the authorities because of a fight, we’ll all be in real trouble.”
The shopkeeper tried to persuade them while giving the waiter a meaningful look.
After reading it, the waiter immediately understood and also stepped forward to offer kind advice.
Unfortunately, everyone was seething with anger at that moment, and no one was willing to back down.
Just then, someone shouted, "Look outside! What's going on? Why are there so many soldiers on the street?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the doorway.
Sure enough, a large group of officers and soldiers were running quickly down the street, each with an unusually serious expression on their face.
Seeing the situation outside, many people had second thoughts. Recalling what the shopkeeper had just said, many people had already taken their seats.
Seeing that someone had sat down, the remaining people naturally didn't want to be the first to do it, and the chaos that had just occurred inexplicably subsided.
Shen Nan glanced outside, a serious expression appearing on his face.
